The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

In fact, when Zhu Ying was traveling, she didn't like so many people bowing down to her.

But even if he shouted to be exempted from ceremony, it would not make any sense.

Under such high shouts, his throat was hoarse, and no one could hear his own voice.

After the dragon chariot left, the people became even more excited. It felt like it was Chinese New Year.

It is widely rumored in the world that His Royal Highness Taisun is a real exiled immortal, and he will return to the sky to become an immortal in the future.

As for the sudden death of the grandson when he was a child, it was because he offended Tian Tiao, but even if he went to the underworld, Lord Yan did not dare to accept him, so he had to let the grandson return to the underworld again.

"His Highness Taisun's eyes are really shocking. I raised my head quietly, and His Highness Taisun immediately noticed that I just glanced at me on the dragon carriage, and I immediately felt that the whole person could not move. It was only after His Highness Taisun looked away that his body regained consciousness."

"What are you? Your Highness is a real god. I was exhausted from moving goods today, and then I saw His Highness waving towards me. I immediately felt full of energy. It’s okay to do it once.”

"His Royal Highness, you are truly a god."

Zhu Ying, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, obviously did not expect that the discussion among the common people would be so outrageous.

But in today's world, it is also a very normal phenomenon.

The gate of the Suburban Scientific Research Department.

The steam engine that Zhu Ying missed was about to appear.

On the dragon chariot, Zhu Ying saw the iconic black smoke rising thickly.

He knew that this was because the charcoal was not completely burned, so so much black smoke was produced.

But this was in the early Ming Dynasty.

What is the concept of the steam engine in the early Ming Dynasty?

It has been ahead of the world's technological level for more than 200 years.

Once the steam ironclad appears on the sea, it is truly invincible.

Moreover, the steam engine is not as simple as a matchlock gun, there are real technical barriers.

In this year, no so-called scientists have appeared, and Europe is only in the stage of literary enlightenment, and there is no military competition at all.

It means that Ming Dynasty can gradually rule the whole world within 200 years.

Among them, the most critical part of the steam ironclad ship is the conquest of the sea.

This is not to say that for other countries, the present Ming Dynasty has no opponents to speak of.

The greatest significance of ironclad ships lies in long-distance voyages.

The dangers on the sea are often the deadliest. No matter how strong the wooden structure is, it is not at the same level as steel.

This is an essential difference in material.

The current Daming treasure ship is very powerful, but it is also a wooden foundation, and because it is too heavy, in the absence of a monsoon, wind navigation is not enough to drive it, so it can only be docked on the shore and wait for the monsoon to come.

Li Jinglong Ocean is now in such a situation. When there is no monsoon, it can only dock.

It's very embarrassing if you don't arrive at your destination.

You can only let other ships hook the treasure ship with chains, and then drag it away.

This speed can be imagined, just like a turtle crawling.

However, the steam ironclad ship is completely different, it can get rid of the influence of wind to a large extent.

Normally, the speed of the current ships is generally a few knots, and the speed of one knot is about three and a half miles per hour.

The speed brought by the steam power can reach more than ten knots, which means that the mileage of the voyage can be greatly shortened by three times.

Where it would have taken three months to arrive, it only took one month to sail at full speed.

This means that the speed of information dissemination is enhanced.

The biggest benefit for Daming in this situation is that the sea area that can be directly controlled becomes wider.

For example, in Champa, sailing boats that are currently relatively fast sail southwest from Wuhumen, Changle County, Fujian Province, and can arrive in about ten days with a favorable wind.

As for the steam iron-clad ship, there is no need to worry about the wind and the wind, and it can arrive at full speed in three days.

This means that Champa is directly under Daming's nose.

In other words, this is the case along the coast of Southeast Asia, not to mention those island countries.

A series of thoughts flashed through Zhu Ying's mind, and then she jumped off the dragon carriage.

There is no need to lead the way anymore, he is already familiar with this place, and there is still black smoke ahead to guide the way.

"Meet His Royal Highness Taisun."

When Zhu Yingchao walked forward, everyone he met respectfully saluted.

This time it was quite sudden, so when Zhu Ying arrived, the eunuchs had not had time to greet her.

When I was here last time, the steam engine was still exploding in order to increase the power, but now, it has obviously succeeded.

Boom, boom, boom, the sound kept coming.

Zhu Ying finally saw the appearance of the steam engine.

The powerful power drives the gears to rotate continuously. Compared with the steam engine, the gears are obviously much simpler to manufacture.

"How long has it been running?" Zhu Ying asked directly before the people in the yard could react.

When Shan Wenli heard the voice, he realized it and hurriedly prepared to meet him.

Zhu Ying waved her hand, indicating to answer the question just now.

Shan Wenli replied: "Your Highness, the steam engine has been in operation for three days so far, and it has been turned off a total of [-] times during the period. Because some small parts cannot bear it, they have been replaced now, and it will last longer."

Zhu Ying nodded, not surprised by this.

Mechanical failure is a normal thing, and it will be fine if it is repaired.

If there aren't any problems, that's an exaggeration.

Even so, it can be put into use.

"Very good, everyone present has made great contributions to being able to build the steam engine."

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, she told the eunuch who came behind: "Everyone, including apprentices, will be rewarded with a salary of three months. As long as they participate in the production of steam engines, their family members can be placed in the Scientific Research Department."

Hearing Taisun's order, the young superintendent, the head of the scientific research department, hurriedly replied: "I would like to follow His Highness's order."

At this time, Shan Wenli hesitated for a while, seeing that the grandson did not say anything to Huang Guan who was behind him, he stood up and said: "I dare not take credit for it. The steam engine can be built completely according to Huang Zhanshi's design. Huang Zhanshi A scholar deserves the greatest contribution, and should be the first one.”

Hearing this, Huang Guan stood up and said, "I don't dare to take the credit for this. I designed this steam engine completely according to the method taught by His Highness Taisun. If I really want to give credit, His Highness Taisun should be the first credit."

Zhu Ying waved her hand: "Okay, don't give in to each other."

"Old Dan, although you have achieved a breakthrough from scratch, the current steam engine is still not fully functional, and your work is not over yet."

"In the coming time, I need you to perfect this steam engine, burn less coal, last longer, and reduce failures."

"In three months, I will see a second, more complete steam engine."

Upon hearing this, Shan Wenli immediately expressed his opinion: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, now that we are gradually familiar with the steam engine, I am confident to further improve it."

Zhu Ying is very satisfied with Shan Wenli's attitude.

Next is the main event.

That is how to use this steam engine to make a steam iron-clad ship.

The main power of the steam ironclad ship comes from the propeller in the cabin at the bottom. To provide enough power, the steam engine of the Scientific Research Department is still too small, and a steam engine with a larger power needs to be made.

It is said that it is an iron-clad ship, but it is not actually made of steel as a whole. The current Daming industry foundation does not have enough support for this.

The actual steam ironclad ship, in fact, the main material is still wood.

On the basis of the main body, the installation of steel is carried out.

In this way, the bearing capacity of the entire ship will be greatly improved.

The sails cannot be canceled, and the monsoon on the sea can still bring a lot of power.

The key is that it is normal for a steam engine to stall due to a malfunction. Turning on the propeller while borrowing the wind can also achieve a faster sailing speed.

It is not difficult to make an iron-clad ship, and it is not difficult for the current Ming Dynasty to put on armor.

The industrial foundation Zhu Ying built for Daming these years has been successfully completed.

Now that the steam engine has been built, it is time to build the iron-clad ship.

Zhu Ying asked Shan Wenli to build a better steam engine for three months, because during this time, he wanted the Jingshi Shipyard to build an iron-clad ship and then load the steam engine on it.

It sounds simple, but in fact it must be difficult to build.

Fortunately, these are not very technically difficult, just need to spend some thought and pondering, and they will come out naturally.

The iron-clad ship that Zhu Ying plans to build is based on today's treasure ship.

Because the first ship is a test product, it is naturally impossible to be as big as a treasure ship, or even smaller than an ordinary ship.

After entering the water, the experiment is successful, and then the steam iron armor giant ship belonging to Ming Dynasty can be built.

"Maybe in three to five years, after the steam iron-clad ship is perfected, I can still go to Europe to play in person?"

Zhu Ying thought about it with some flattery.

After all, I never went abroad to play in my previous life, so I might be able to visit around the world in this life.

Don't worry about security issues.

At that time, there must be dozens of steam iron armored ships running across the sea, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers will start with the ships.

Such a huge scene, not to mention playing, destroying a country is extremely easy.

"Your Highness, we are going to the shipyard now, are we going to start building iron-clad ships?" Huang Guan asked on the dragon chariot.

The voice brought Zhu Ying out of the immersion, and he looked at Huang Guan and said, "That's right, the steam engine has been fixed now, even if it's a little worse, it doesn't matter, even if it can only sail for ten or so days, it's not a big problem."

"Now you can build it first, and wait for a better one to be replaced with a steam engine."

"Just right, let me tell you in detail about some ideas about the iron-clad ship."

Huang Guan is really easy to use.

Obviously, Huang Guan was naturally responsible for building the iron-clad ship.

There was a heavy rain, and there was a power outage all the time, and it didn't come until night.
