Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 206 The encounter with failure
The imperial palace, twenty yamen.

War situation.

Zhu Bai fired a total of eight steam engines one after another. Now these huge gadgets are placed in the open space of the Bingzhan Bureau, occupying almost all the space.

But without exception, they are all failures.

If these huge iron lumps were of any use, they would not be as useless as they are now.

The only value now is to sell it based on ironclad opinions.

These days, the craftsmen of the Military War Bureau are all frightened physically and mentally by this steam engine.

Zhu Bai lowered his head, dejected.

Some even dare not look at the craftsmen.

He seemed to feel doubtful, puzzled, and even mocking eyes looking at him at this moment.

Of course, these are just Zhu Bai's psychological effects. How dare those craftsmen laugh at a dignified prince like him.

Zhu Bai can understand why the craftsmen would react like this.

Because from the beginning, they did not believe that it was possible to create a device that could generate power without relying on human or animal power.

Even though Prince Zhu Bai's identity is here, they have always been doubtful during the manufacturing process.

Now the final result is indeed what they expected.

In the eyes of these experienced craftsmen, Zhu Bai's failure was inevitable. They knew it from the beginning, and they were just playing house with the prince.

It's a pity that so much great material was wasted.

"That's it for today, let's go and rest." Zhu Bai stood up and said in a hoarse voice.

After saying this, Zhu Bai walked alone outside the Bingzhan Bureau.

After watching Zhu Bai leave, some craftsmen from the Bingzhan Bureau dared to whisper in low tones.

But he was immediately scolded directly by the leader.

"Have you forgotten all the rules?! You are running errands in the palace and you dare to chew your tongue. Are you going to risk your life?"

Korean government.

"Master Xiangguo, have you heard about the recent events of the Twelve Princes?" Hu Weiyong said.

Li Shanchang nodded and said, "I heard a little bit about it. I heard that I have been working on a device that can replace human and animal power in the War and War Bureau these days."

"Is there really something like the one studied by the Twelve Princes in this world that can replace human and animal power with only firewood?" Hu Weiyong shook his head, with a mocking look on his face, and asked himself. "Master Xiangguo, do you believe it? I don't believe it anyway."

Li Shanchang naturally didn't believe it, because this was beyond their knowledge.

"Why did the Twelve Prince suddenly think of such a fantasy?" Li Shanchang asked.

"Who else, of course, is Yang Xian. I heard that after he came back from Yangzhou, he became like this, as if he was crazy. Enxiang, what kind of magic power do you think Yang Xian has, so that all these princes believe in him so much? , It’s like dropping your head.”

"Doing this kind of research should cost a lot." Li Shanchang suddenly said.

Hu Weiyong immediately understood Li Shanchang's sudden words and said, "I know what to do."

the other side.

At the base camp, Mr. Wang, who was in charge of teaching, saw that the Twelfth Prince had not come to class for half a month.

When I inquired about it, I found out that Zhu Bai had skipped his class because he was studying such fantastic things as steam engines, and he was really angry.

In anger, Mr. Wang went directly to Song Lian, the scholar leader at this time and the prince's teacher.

"Master of the Song Dynasty, the twelfth prince, as a prince, does not want to study, but is immersed in those strange skills and tricks all day long, and does not do his job properly. If other princes also imitate him, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!" Mr. Wang said to him Song Lian just vomited his bitterness. "What did His Royal Highness say?" Song Lian asked.

"At the beginning, His Highness the Crown Prince also punished the Twelfth Prince, asking him to kneel down and reflect on his mistakes. But I went to him several times later, but he suddenly stopped paying attention." Mr. Wang said.

He didn't know why Zhu Biao's attitude towards this matter was so different.

Song Lian stretched out his hand to touch his beard and said, "Okay, don't worry, Madam Wang, I already know the matter. I will go to His Highness the Crown Prince in person to discuss the matter."

In the past half month, Zhu Bai made many attempts and made every effort he could.

When he was desperate, he got on the rail train to Yangzhou.

Here in Yangzhou.

Shen Cheng, who was doing experiments in the Scientific Research Laboratory of Yangzhou University, also encountered bottlenecks.

After many improvements, Shen Cheng believed that his steam engine design had reached the point where it could not be changed.

It can indeed run successfully.

But the kinetic energy it generates is minimal.

With the steam engine he made, let alone pulling a train, even a Kunkun might not be able to pull it.

Shen Cheng knew where the problem was, but he also knew that he couldn't solve the problem with his current abilities.

He put down what he was doing, said hello to the craftsmen in the research room, and prepared to go find Yang Xian.

After Zhu Bai got off the train, he entered Yangzhou City and walked straight to Yang Guogong's Mansion.

As he sat in the carriage, the moment the curtains were blown up, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking in front.

He is the younger brother of the pair of siblings I met when I was attending classes at Yangzhou University.

Afterwards, he asked people to investigate the identities of their siblings and found out that they were the granddaughters and grandsons of Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Bai was deeply impressed by his sister Shen Xia. After all, in class, Shen Xia's inference answers were affirmed and praised by Yang Xian.

As for his younger brother Shen Cheng, in Zhu Bai's eyes, his presence is relatively weak.

Zhu Bai didn't have much interest in him, so he directly lowered the car curtain and closed his eyes to rest.

The carriage drove slowly down the street.

"Your Highness, Duke Yang's mansion has arrived."

The accompanying guard stopped the carriage and opened the door.

Zhu Bai nodded and got out of the carriage. When he was about to let someone go up and pass his name, he turned around and saw that familiar figure again.

Zhu Bai was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that the other party's target was also Yang Guogong's palace.

Shen Cheng quickly walked to the door of Yang Guogong's mansion.

"You also come to see Yang Guogong?" Zhu Bai asked.

Hearing the voice coming from beside him, Shen Cheng stopped, looked at Zhu Bai, recognized him, and said, "You too?"

Shen Cheng obviously didn't know the identity of Prince Zhu Bai. He only knew that he was a powerful son from the capital.

Zhu Bai nodded and said, "I would like to ask Duke Yang about something about steam engines."

As soon as he heard the word steam engine, Shen Cheng's eyes immediately lit up. He took Zhu Bai's hand and said, "Me too, brother, did you also accept Mr. Yang's funding to do research on steam engines in a related research laboratory? "
