Borrow the day to change the day

Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, had actually heard what Zhong Jinwei said just now, and knew that it must be another kind of magical good thing.However, in such a large audience, Emperor Chongzhen didn't take the initiative to ask, and it was not easy for him to gossip.

But even so, he has been paying attention to this side.When he saw Emperor Chongzhen and Duke Xingguo whispering a few words, he lost his composure to the point of opening his mouth wide, and couldn't help being even more curious.

Wen Tiren secretly decided that when there is no one around, he must ask Xing Guogong, what is this electric train?

The Emperor Chongzhen over there finally came back to his senses, and was about to ask Zhong Jinwei about the details of the electric train, "Woo..." A whistle blew, a large amount of steam was ejected from the steam locomotive, and the train began to start slowly , "Kang Dang Bang Dang..." The voice also slowly began to accelerate from slow to urgent.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to it. Under the attention of the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, the steam train easily pulled the many carriages hanging behind it, and began to circulate in the courtyard.

After a while, the speed of the steam train slowly becomes constant.Although the speed is not very fast, it has satisfied all the bosses.

Because if it is a heavy object drawn by a horse, it is impossible to get up quickly, not to mention that the train has pulled so many carriages.

Amidst the noise of the train, the senior officials of Ming Dynasty were commenting one after another, but Emperor Chongzhen still remembered what Zhong Jinwei said about the electric train in his mind.

Therefore, after he returned to the Wenhua Palace, he made an early decision to try to build the railway from the capital to Tianjin Wei, and then left Zhong Jinwei alone for questioning.

Wen Tiren naturally expected the purpose of Emperor Chongzhen, and found a reason to stay.

Regarding Wen Tiren, Emperor Chongzhen didn't feel the need to keep it secret, because he also knew Zhong Jinwei's origin.Therefore, there were only three of them left in the Wenhua Hall.

"Master Zhong, can the electric train you mentioned earlier be built?" Emperor Chongzhen asked expectantly.

To his disappointment, Zhong Jinwei shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, compared with steam trains, electric trains require more technology. With the current technological level of Ming Dynasty, it is far from reaching it. Now even electricity is not enough. No!"

Wen Tiren heard it from the side, and hurriedly asked: "What is an electric train?"

Emperor Chongzhen looked disappointed. Seeing Wen Tiren's questioning, he repeated to him the speed of the electric train that Zhong Jinwei had told him.

When Wen Tiren heard it, he understood why Emperor Chongzhen was so surprised.If this kind of electric train is really developed, will the territory of Daming be too big to control?

He remembered Zhong Jinwei's answer to Emperor Chongzhen just now, and quickly asked again: "Duke Xingguo, what is electricity?"

"Also a form of energy, electricity like lightning."

Although Zhong Jinwei's answer was more professional, when he talked about the steam engine last time, he also mentioned a similar concept, so Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren could almost understand what Zhong Jinwei said.

This surprised Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren again, that lightning can be used.Moreover, according to Zhong Jinwei, it seems that electricity is still a basic thing.So, Emperor Chongzhen asked in surprise: "Master Zhong, is this electric energy created?"

Zhong Jinwei nodded, and replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, it is easy to make this electricity, just electromagnetic induction. It is difficult to use it after it is made. It involves many things, and it must have a certain industrial foundation."

Wen Tiren was very sensitive, and seemed to have gotten some other information from Zhong Jinwei's words. He asked again: "Mr. Xingguo, will this electricity have many uses, not just electric trains?"

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he nodded with a smile, turned to Wen Tiren and said, "Master Wen's words are very true. If this electricity is used for the fast electric train I just mentioned, it will probably take hundreds of years. The technology is too difficult." It’s high. But electricity can be used in many ways, it’s very, very useful, and it’s the foundation of many industries.”

Emperor Chongzhen had never heard Zhong Jinwei emphasize something so much, he immediately forgot the disappointment just now, leaned forward, and asked a little eagerly: "Master Zhong, how useful is this?"

Zhong Jinwei thought for a while, and then reminded Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the mobile phone that I brought when I first came here? The lights in the picture of the mobile phone that are shining at night are all lights from electricity."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard it, he thought about it carefully, and it really happened.On Zhong Jinwei's mobile phone, there are high-rise buildings and bright lights of various colors. Although it is dark night, it is like a sky full of stars.

He also knows that an electric train that can run 1000 or [-] miles per hour is too far away, but it would be good if it can reach the electric power applications in Master Zhong's mobile phone.

"Master Zhong, can you make electricity and make it shine?" Emperor Chongzhen asked again this time with expectation.

What made him happy was that Zhong Jinwei nodded with a smile, and answered him: "I really have this intention, and I want to devote most of my energy to Daming technology in the next time. Electricity is the foundation, as long as it can be applied , will inevitably be another great leap forward after the steam engine.”

Just when Emperor Chongzhen was happy, Zhong Jinwei reminded: "Your Majesty, but this matter should not be rushed. I only learned some basics when I was in my hometown, and I have forgotten a lot. Now I can only explore gradually. When will it be developed? It’s hard to say. It may take decades to study, it’s all possible.”

Emperor Chongzhen's joy did not diminish because of Zhong Jinwei's words, he still said with a smile on his face: "It's okay, it's okay, I can afford to wait!"

Emperor Chongzhen could afford to wait, but Wen Tiren couldn't. When he heard Zhong Jinwei's words, he couldn't help feeling extremely regretful that he had been born so early for so many years.

Zhong Jinwei didn't notice Wen Tiren's regretful expression. Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was still so happy, he said again: "Your Majesty, the steam engine is only gradually becoming practical. Therefore, the most profitable thing at present is to continue to develop the steam engine and spread it to the Ming Dynasty. All walks of life. In terms of electric power, we only start research and development in the early stage, focus on exploration, and accumulate technology. Only this kind of focus is the most beneficial to my Ming Dynasty."

This time, Emperor Chongzhen finally restrained the smile on his face.But immediately he smiled again and said: "Master Zhong is right, you can't become a fat man with one mouthful. I know that we must proceed step by step. Regarding Daming's technology, you come to be the chief master, and you have the final say on what to do!"

Indeed, the right to speak in terms of technology is naturally Zhong Jinwei from later generations who has the most authority.If he leads Daming's technology, it will naturally save a lot of detours and allow Daming's technology to advance by leaps and bounds.

In fact, Daming Technology was already dominated by Zhong Jinwei before.It's just that his main energy is not in this aspect. Now that Daming's affairs are on the right track, Zhong Jinwei has more time to spend on technology.

After Zhong Jinwei said some more about science and technology, when he was about to leave, suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside the hall.
