Borrow the day to change the day

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately said, "Then immediately set up a special research institute to make this steam engine."

"Your Majesty, I agree to set up a research institute to develop steam engines now, but there is one thing that needs to be explained in advance." Zhong Jinwei said with a serious face.

"Master Zhong, if you have anything to say, just tell me." Emperor Chongzhen was already mentally prepared.

Zhong Jinwei was afraid that after Emperor Chongzhen and others knew that the steam engine was a good thing, they would be eager to get results, so he first reminded: "The research and development of the steam engine is a long-term process. I am afraid that it will not be effective in a short period of time. You have to be patient."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he waved his hands at Zhong Jinwei and said, "Master Zhong is worrying too much! Of course I know such an important thing, and it must not be so easy to make it. Don't worry, I have plenty of patience to wait."

The reason why the Chongzhen Emperor in history was impatient in doing things was completely forced.There is a battle ahead, and the results of the battle have not been seen for a long time, but the money and food in the hands have been exhausted, and there is nothing to continue, only urging.

The current Emperor Chongzhen is different, and the battle in Liaodong can be regarded as stable.The peasant uprisings in the land of Qin and Jin have also disappeared. Although there are still disasters, they are still stable for the time being.In addition, Emperor Chongzhen had money in his hands, so he naturally had a lot of patience.

Zhong Jinwei nodded slightly after hearing Emperor Chongzhen's statement, and he continued: "To make this steam engine, I vaguely remember that there is still a lack of a sealing material called rubber."

"Oh, where is this kind of rubber?" Emperor Chongzhen asked immediately after hearing this.

Zhong Jinwei didn't know much about this, so he could only say based on his impression: "Your Majesty, I don't remember very clearly. I only know that the rubber trees that produce rubber are subtropical or tropical trees. You have to go to the far south to find them. It is very likely that there will be some trees in Southeast Asia. have."

He remembered that later generations discussed that the Japanese devils eventually went south and went to war with the U.S. military in order to compete for strategic resources, such as oil and rubber, so he said this.

In fact, the origin of the rubber tree is in the Americas, and it did not exist in Southeast Asia during this period.Because Zhong Jinwei's memory was wrong, he was busy for a while.Thanks to the feudal feudalization of North America by Daming's vassal clan, Daming accidentally discovered rubber trees in the back.

After hearing Zhong Jinwei's answer, Emperor Chongzhen thought that this was not a problem, and immediately said, "How about I send someone to look for this rubber tree?"

Zhong Jinwei nodded, but expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty, the current situation in Southeast Asia is complicated. I suggest that instead of sending official personnel to search for rubber, it is better to send state-owned enterprises to Southeast Asia to do business. One can make money, two is looking for rubber, and three Spy on all kinds of information to prepare for Ming's future involvement in Southeast Asia."

Wen Tiren listened to it, nodded in agreement, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I think Zhongxing Hou's method is very good. My current energy, Ming Dynasty, should be focused on Liaodong and the feudal North American affairs of the vassal clan."

"Okay, then do as Marquis Zhongxing said." Seeing that Zhong Jinwei and Wen Tiren had the same opinion, Emperor Chongzhen naturally would not disagree.

Wang Chengen listened to it, and wanted to say that Dongchang could also send people to do this.But now that the bigwigs have reached an agreement, they don't speak.

Emperor Chongzhen walked back to the throne and sat down, and then said to Zhong Jinwei with a hint of expectation on his face: "Master Zhong, what good things do you have in your hometown, why don't you tell them together?"

Zhong Jinwei was dumbfounded, Emperor Chongzhen's appetite was getting bigger and bigger.Seeing that Wen Tiren and Wang Chengen were also looking at him curiously, he replied: "Your Majesty, there are many good things in my hometown, but they can't be done without a foundation. What can be done now is to put Only by laying the foundation first can we make better things in the future.”

Zhong Jinwei felt that this was a bit vague, so he gave another example: "For example, an airplane travels thousands of miles a day, and it only takes one day to get from the capital to North America, but it will take at least a hundred years to make this airplane, because Electricity, engines, and aircraft casing materials are all impossible to make now."

The three people in the Wenhua Palace listened leisurely, and Emperor Chongzhen also understood that what Zhong Jinwei said was true.However, he was still very interested, and asked again: "Master Zhong, is there anything as incredible as an airplane?"

"There are many, such as mobile phones, which can still communicate even if they are thousands of miles away; such as nuclear bombs, which can level the entire capital and make it uninhabitable for decades; such as spaceships, which can take people away. To the moon; and the Star Destroyer..."

Zhong Jinwei bullied these three ancients to not know what the situation of later generations would be like, and even spoke out about the Star Destroyer, satisfying his selfish desires and shocking them once.

After Zhong Jinwei spoke for a while, seeing Emperor Chongzhen, Wen Tiren, and Wang Chengen were stunned, he felt very refreshed, and stood with a smile on his face, waiting for them to come back to their senses.

After a long while, Emperor Chongzhen wiped away his envious saliva, came back to his senses and asked: "Master Zhong, it would be great if I could also visit your hometown."

Zhong Jinwei was speechless, he didn't expect Emperor Chongzhen to say such a sentence.If the space-time shuttle door, Emperor Chongzhen's request could still be met, but now there is nothing he can do.

He replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, this request may be met in the future of Chen's hometown. There is a saying in Chen's hometown that there is nothing impossible to achieve. We humans have infinite creativity. As long as we can think of it, we can do it." It will be done one day.”

Zhong Jinwei's words were very bold, but for the three people in Wenhua Hall, there was no doubt at all.

Before Zhong Jinwei appeared, they never imagined that there would be such things as mobile phones, airplanes, and nuclear bombs in this world.But these seemingly impossible things have been realized in later generations.Then they took it for granted that what Zhong Jinwei said, "There is nothing impossible to do but unexpected".

Wen Tiren thought about the beautiful scene described by Zhong Jinwei, and suddenly sighed in his heart, as he was getting older, he might not be able to see much.This thought has occurred several times since Zhong Jinwei appeared.

Facing Emperor Chongzhen, Zhong Jinwei continued to encourage: "Your Majesty, the current territory seems to be very wide. It takes a long time to convey one thing, and the control of the territory is a bit weak. But after the advancement of technology, distance will not be a problem. The most developed country in Chen's hometown has a slogan that allows their troops to appear in any corner of the world within a day. Even if the whole world belongs to Ming, it can still manage it."

Emperor Chongzhen was very excited when he heard it, and nodded vigorously.

"However, these are still long-term prospects, and we need to work hard to achieve them. As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The Ming Dynasty must pay attention to technology, the power of craftsmen, and the achievements of research institutes, so as to have a better tomorrow." Zhong Jinwei Remind those present of humanity.

From talking about the North Pacific warm current to steam engines, it finally became Zhong Jinwei to show these ancients a bright future and emphasize the importance of technology.Judging from the current effect, it is not in vain that Zhong Jinwei sprayed so much saliva.
