Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 58: So many people were invited to the Jiaofangsi, but I was left out, let alone you.

In such a large venue, most of the sorcerers of the Sitianjian gathered here.

There were dozens of steam engines, with several sorcerers standing beside each one.

These people communicate with each other, admire ideas that are better than their own, and improve their own ideas.

Pairs of eyes looked towards the entrance from time to time, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Soon, Wei An, Huai Qing and Chu Caiwei arrived.

"Master Wei."

"Master Wei."

"... "

The voices and movements are not uniform, but the names are unified.

In addition, all the warlocks rushed forward, and the shock was overwhelming.

The female guard behind Huaiqing was so frightened that she immediately stepped forward to protect him.

Although Chu Caiwei knew the attitudes of her senior brothers and sisters towards Wei An, she still felt a little nervous when she saw it happening before her eyes.

Teacher, if you don't see Wei An again, the Imperial Observatory will be emptied out by him.

Wei An returned the greeting and turned to Huai Qing, saying, "Your Highness, could you please wait a moment? I have invited someone to come and observe."

Huaiqing frowned slightly.

She couldn't help but think of the hot air balloon experiment at that time, when she was also waiting for someone.

"it is good."

She nodded calmly.

Wei An took the initiative to explain, "Your Highness, it's the Imperial Master."

"I had previously asked the Imperial Master for the Dao Pill, and learned that the Human Sect is most afraid of being contaminated by karma, so I wanted to repay the Imperial Master for this favor."

It turned out to be the case.

Huaiqing nodded slightly again.

The feeling Wei An got from his expression had changed.

"Wuyang is grateful and repays kindness, which is very kind," she praised.

Wei An, “…”

After a while, Luo Yuheng arrived.

Originally, due to the dispute between her father and the Supervisor, she would not have set foot in the Imperial Observatory.

His presence this time attracted the attention of many sorcerers from the Imperial Observatory.

"Your Highness." Luo Yuheng bowed slightly, not to lower his posture, but simply for someone's sake.

"National Master." Huaiqing nodded slightly.

"Okay, everyone, show me." Wei An glanced at the sorcerers and said with a smile.

The latter met his gaze one by one, as if they had taken stimulants.

"Master Wei, this is my idea. I want to use it to rotate these large fan blades. In this way, the people will no longer have to suffer from the scorching heat during the hot summer."

Wei An nodded, "Yeah."

The steam engine version of the fan takes up a bit more space, costs a bit more, and is a bit noisy, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.

"Master Wei, this is my idea. I'm going to use a steam engine to drive this set of pulleys to help move heavy objects."

Wei An continued to nod, still just saying "hmm".

This warlock was just like the previous one, his eyes dimmed, but he still held on to a last glimmer of hope.

"Master Wei, this is my idea. It can be used to... pump water."

The warlock's voice was a little weak. After all, there were water wheels, wells and other alternatives for pumping water.

"good."

Wei An's expression finally changed.

The warlock was stunned.

Wei An said without further ado, "Light the furnace."

The sorcerer was overjoyed.

Huaiqing's gaze lingered on this group of steam engines.

She remembered that Wei An had talked about increasing mineral output.

But Wei An didn't say anything, and she didn't ask.

The three of them continued to the next group.

There is only one person in this group, Song Qing.

This sorcerer, who is almost obsessed with research, has always had high demands on his works.

"Master Wei, this is my idea for improving a water-powered ship. Using a steam engine will increase its speed."

Song Qing still had the same expression, neither salty nor bland.

In fact, this research was not his favorite field of biology.

What could Wei An say?

Gold shines wherever it is placed!
Unfortunately, it was improved based on a water wheel ship.

What is a water wheel ship? It is a ship with paddle wheels like water wheels on both sides. It was originally powered by manpower to assist in sailing, but Song Qing changed it to steam drive.

It's a steamship, too.

"I'll discuss this with Senior Brother Song later. We can improve it further. It has great potential."

Song Qing was stunned.

He didn't put much thought into the design this time.

"How many knots can this thing increase the ship's speed?" Seeing that Wei An said a few more words and did not seem to be comforting, Huai Qing asked.

Song Qing's face was a little tense.

"No rush. The water wheel cannot fully utilize the steam engine's efficiency. Please wait until the finished product is available before inviting His Highness to come."

Wei An came to help.

Song Qing's face turned red, but at the same time he made up his mind to complete his future plan well.

"Master Wei, my idea..."

There are thirteen groups in total. Except for the pumping and boat, none of the others are eye-catching. Not to mention the cost-effectiveness, the practicality is also low.

The idea is quite wild.

Wei An didn't want to stifle these people's imagination. After careful consideration, he said, "Your ideas are indeed good. Some of them make me ashamed. However, steam engines may not be suitable for them. In the near future, I believe that more suitable power and equipment will be available to realize your ideas!"

After that, he pulled out a stack of papers from his pocket, selected two sheets, and handed one to the two male sorcerers of the seventh rank. "You two, help Senior Brother Mu and complete this blueprint. It doesn't matter whether it's today or tomorrow. This is no small task."

He handed another one to Song Qing and said, "Brother Song, please excuse me. This idea will take even longer."

Song Qing said sternly, "I will definitely live up to Master Wei's trust."

Seeing Senior Brother Song's reaction, the two men immediately bowed and said, "We will definitely give it our all!"

"it is good."

Wei An nodded.

Back to the pumping group.

It has started to operate, and the pumping effect is average.

The main reason is that the water inlet and outlet are poorly designed.

Wei An called Song Qing, Mu Qing, and two other sixth-grade sorcerers, took a blank blueprint and made some changes.

The four of them worked together to make what he wanted.

After installation, Wei An put the pipe into the well.

Reignite the engine, and as the connecting rod is slowly pulled, the connecting rod on the beam side is driven upward, the piston moves upward, the well water is sucked in from the pipe, fills the cylinder, and then gushes out from the outlet on this side.

The amount of water from the first two outlets is not large, but the amount of water from the latter one is gushing out!

"Your Highness, how is it?" Wei An looked at Huai Qing and said with a smile.

"It's ingenious and exquisite." Huaiqing's beautiful eyes sparkled as she praised it repeatedly.

Luo Yuheng frowned slightly.

These two people must have talked about something behind her back.

Otherwise, why did Huaiqing know about it, but she just didn't understand.

Wei An noticed the expression on the beautiful Taoist nun's face and explained, "Using this to extract information from the mine may increase the mining rate."

"Not only that, it can also be used to transport ore up and down, which is better than manual labor and saves manpower."

Huaiqing seemed to have an idea and pointed to the second set of pulleys and said.

"Your Highness is wise." Wei An praised.

Huaiqing smiled and shook his head, "How can it compare to you? Wuyang, you are changing this world."

As soon as she finished speaking, something changed in the dark.

Luo Yuheng immediately sensed something, and a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes as he looked at Wei An's face.

...

A mansion

After a busy day, Zhu Yang returned home. As soon as he entered the hall, he heard the sound of a vase breaking into pieces.

He knew that it was his youngest son who was causing trouble.

As one of the ten golden gongs in the night watchman's office, he was one of the first people to follow Wei Yuan.

However, this friendship was eroded by time, ideals, and reality, and he and Duke Wei gradually drifted apart and went their separate ways.

With the help of his servants, he changed into his casual clothes and entered the main hall.

"father."

Seeing his father coming back, Zhu Chengzhu lost his previous arrogance, but his face could not hide his cruelty and anger.

"what happened again?"

Zhu Yang asked in a deep voice.

Zhu Chengzhu didn't answer immediately. He waited until the servant who had cleared the broken vase had left before saying, "Father, that peasant is getting more and more arrogant. He invited so many gold and silver gongs to the Jiaofangsi, but he missed me, not you, either. How could he really take me or you seriously?"

After hearing what Zhu Chengzhu said, Zhu Yang just wanted to slap him.

He is quite confident!
What a useless thing!
Jealous for the girls from the Jiaofangsi!
"I don't know what kind of luck he had, but he actually managed to capture Zhou Chixiong! I think Duke Wei is quite interested in cultivating him. Dad, is Duke Wei blind? I am the leader of the younger generation of night watchmen!"

Zhu Chengzhu was so jealous that he was almost torn apart.

"shut up!"

Zhu Yang glared at him and stopped his youngest son first.

"Get back!"

He scolded his youngest son and sent him away.

He was the only one left in the main hall.

Night watchman...

All the party...

He kept thinking.

Wanhui gradually left the house, and finally Zhu Yang was completely immersed in the darkness.
