Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 563 Dahan’s First Steam Engine
"His Majesty."

"His Majesty."

Just after Zhang Zhao and others left the hall, outside the hall, soldiers with a banner behind them rushed into the hall quickly.

"But there is an emergency at the border?"

"He was in a hurry, with ecstasy on his face, it should be a great victory."

"Both our army and the Parthian Empire are recuperating, how can we achieve a great victory?"

"Could it be that our army succeeded in resettling those refugees in the Western Regions, and captured another herd of wild horses with ten thousand people?"

……

When the officials were guessing, the soldiers suddenly knelt and clasped their fists towards Liu Feng within a dozen steps of the palace gate.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Jiangling Mansion has won a great victory."

"Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, Shangshu Huang Yueying, Secretary of the Ministry of Industry of Jiangling Prefecture, Ma Jun of the Ministry of Industry, and Liu Ye, Marquis of Huainan, together with 21 craftsmen from the Jiangling Craftsman Workshop, successfully developed the first operational machine after three years. Steam engine."

"The steam engine came out?" Liu Feng stood up with a face full of ecstasy.

"Ha ha……"

"In this way, I am a big man, and I am about to enter the next era."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

All the officials bowed to Liu Feng one after another, but when they raised their heads, they were all confused.

"You guys don't know what a steam engine is."

"Let's go, I'll arrange a hundred carriages immediately, let's go south quickly, leave some people on duty in the entire court, who is that?"

"Fazheng, Liu Ba, stay here and deal with the court affairs. I will go south to join the prime minister."

"Here." The two were helpless, Your Majesty, we both want to see the steam engine, so why can't you let Jia Xu and Lu Su keep these two old bones.

Can they bear such a long journey?

Then...by the time Fazheng and Liu Ba followed to the gate of the palace, all the officials had run away without a trace.

Jia Xu ran fast with a cane in one hand.

Lu Su walked like a fly, stroked his beard and smiled as he walked, maintaining his old demeanor.

Fazheng: "..."

Liu Ba: "..."

After getting into the carriage, Liu Feng's carriage had a few more beautiful figures.

Zhen Mi, Bu Lianshi, Cao Jie, Diao Chan.

Counting Cai Yan and Mrs. Zhu Rong who are still in Jiangling Mansion at the moment, Liu Feng will also be accompanied by six concubines when he goes to Jiangling Mansion.

"Your Majesty, you always say that the steam engine is good. What's so good about it?"

"In the past few years, I have ordered people to reserve and mine a large number of coal mines, with a total of more than 1000 million tons."

"Even if more than 7000 million people across the country burn coal, how can they use so much coal?"

"Most of them are prepared for steam engines."

"Two major changes brought about by the steam engine."

"One is naval warships. We can build ironclad ships powered by steam engines. They can travel faster than wooden ships on rivers and seas. Moreover, when fighting against the enemy, the enemy's artillery can penetrate us. giant steel ship?"

"Not to mention, in this era, only our Han Empire has artillery."

"The second is the steam locomotive, which can reach 80 kilometers per hour at the fastest, that is, it can run 160 miles in an hour, and people who sit safely on the steam locomotive can sit on the soft couch like a dragon chair, You can also sleep, very comfortable.”

"Take the bus at night, maybe take a nap, and when you wake up, you will have arrived in Liangzhou from Xuchang, and by night, you will have arrived at the Western Regions Protector's Mansion."

"Thousands of miles, can they be crossed so quickly?"

"Yes."

"I have ordered people to build very long carriages. Compared with the eight-horse carriage that can seat 50 people, the steam locomotive carriage I designed can seat 200 people."

"200 people."

The step trainer opened his mouth, "Your Majesty, in this way, although our territory is vast, our commute from south to north will be much faster, but burning coal will cost a lot. These common people, can you Can you afford it?"

"Not much. Let's set up a station in each county, and we will only charge a hundred dollars between each county for a stop. Think about it, before two counties, it will take more than an hour at most."

"If you take a carriage, it will take at least three hours."

"So, wouldn't it be convenient and time-saving?"

"What's more, if you don't like the high cost, you can use steam locomotives to transport some goods, such as lychees in the south, and those fresh aquatic products along the coast, you can use a steam locomotive to move them."

"Your Majesty really has a wonderful idea. He has planned everything. This steam locomotive is an upgraded version of the carriage. In the future, there will be a lot less people on the track after the steam locomotive appears."

Liu Feng smiled, "The carriage, it can't be replaced for a while, because the steam locomotive needs a large coal steam engine, and it can't be developed in two or three years."

"And if we want to fully equip dozens of lines, manufacture hundreds of steam locomotives, and put all the tracks in the country into operation, then we will need at least 20 years."

"This year, we can see the steam engine, and then I will propose how to improve it and how to increase the power."

"You have to eat food bite by bite, and you have to walk step by step on the road."

……

With a burst of laughter, two days later, hundreds of carriages arrived at Jiangling Mansion.

At this moment, more than 20 craftsmen and [-] infantry dispatched to maintain order are already waiting here.

"Your Majesty Zhuge Liang (Huang Yueying, Ma Jun, Liu Ye) fulfilled his mission and successfully developed a steam engine for His Majesty. Please review it."

"it is good."

Liu Feng stretched out his hand to help Zhuge Liang up, "You dear friends have worked hard, as well as all the craftsmen in Jiangling Mansion. I will remember your contributions in my heart."

"I went south today and brought 30 jugs of fine wine. Everyone has it, and no one gets a piece of silk."

"The ministers who made the most contributions today, Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying, Ma Jun, and Liu Ye, each rewarded three hundred households in Shiyi and three thousand mu of fertile land."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The four of them were a little shocked. Liu Feng hadn't rewarded so much for some years.

Even if that guy Ma Zhong killed the generals in front of the battle and left a hundred thousand Wusun cavalry without a leader, he would only confer [-] households as food towns.

How many times can their contributions surpass Ma Zhong's?
"Come on, let me take a look at our big man's first steam engine."

Liu Feng raised his feet to the steam engine covered by red silk, and opened it casually. The bronze-colored steam engine had a radius of one meter. Liu Feng looked up and down, with joy in his eyes.

"Prime Minister, what is its maximum power now?"

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands slightly towards Liu Feng, "Reporting to Your Majesty, now I can only drag a dump truck, and it can only hit dozens of kilograms of goods."

"Oh?" Liu Feng narrowed his eyes. Although it was a bit tasteless, this is the first one. Can't we continue to improve it in the future?
The first steam engine was manufactured. The prototype was in 1679, and it was used in ships in 1807. Tell me...how difficult is it to study this stuff?
