I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 556
The rise of a country or a nation is not just a matter of chanting a few slogans and having someone lead the way.

Only when all the people start to wake up, can this country create miracles in a short period of time.

Just like the Huaxia of later generations, all the people pursue the creed of reform and opening up, which created the myth of becoming the world's second largest economy in 30.

If the public fails to realize, what is the core idea.

No matter how happy Li Tian is bouncing around, how many workshops he opens and how much money he makes in a year is not enough for a country.

But it's different now, without Li Tian's guidance, the people in Tiangongyuan realized that glasses are such a profitable thing, and they are doing very well.

Although this is just the beginning, if there is one, there may be two. As long as this spirit spreads throughout China, by then, even if Li Tian does nothing, the country will still be thriving.

That is the future that Li Tian really yearns for, and it is also his purpose of tirelessly guiding the people at this time.

I don't know if someone notified the Tiangongyuan, or the people from Tiangongyuan saw Li Tian and others coming from a long distance.

As soon as Li Tian and the others arrived at the gate, Zhou Zhen, Liu Baohe and others greeted them at the gate.

"Welcome Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wanan!"

It can be said that Li Tian's life has been very smooth recently, and his mood is still high.

Seeing Zhou Zhen and others in good spirits made me happy from the bottom of my heart.

"Menli and flat body, get up!"

Zhou Zhen clasped his fists and said,
"Your Majesty, are you here for inspection today? Why don't you stop in advance so that I can prepare for it!"

If other people say that, Li Tian will not be happy.

"What do you mean by that? Didn't I come at the wrong time?"

But Li Tian knew Zhou Zhen's character, he couldn't be the kind of character who would cheat and fool people.

He smiled and said to Zhou Zhen,
"Why, is there a problem with the progress of the Tiangong Institute?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhen immediately shook his head and said,
"No, the progress of each project is on schedule and very smooth, but during this period of time, the Tiangong Institute has a serious shortage of manpower, and the environment of each workshop is a bit dirty. I said this because I was afraid of staining His Majesty's eyes."

Li Tian laughed heartily,
"It turns out that not only will later generations practice sanitation when leaders come to make surprise inspections, but even in this era, this is also the case!"

He shook his head and smiled wryly,
"These are secondary things, don't worry about them. You bastards, if you keep Tiangongyuan clean and spotless every day, I will be worried. You don't do business every day, and you only know about hygiene."

Zhou Zhen also said with some embarrassment,
"Your Majesty is gracious. On behalf of all the ministers and workers of the Tiangong Academy, I thank Your Majesty."

Li Tian waved his hand and said,
"Let's not talk about those insignificant things. How is the recent progress? How long will it take for the steam engine and steamship to be assembled and tested?"

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Zhou Zhen suddenly became energetic and said loudly,
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. At this time, nearly half of the manpower of the Tiangong Institute is devoted to the research of the steam engine, and the progress is also very fast. I believe that in about 20 days, the launch test should be completed."

As he said that, his expression was a little troubled, and he paused hesitantly.

Li Tian saw that he seemed to have something to say, so he asked,
"Why don't you continue talking, did you encounter any difficulties?"

Zhou Zhen sighed and said,
"Don't dare to hide your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the improvement of the machine, but each of these machines weighs more than 1 catties. For such a heavy thing, we haven't thought of a way to transport it to Tianjin Wei in good condition."

"However, rest assured, Your Majesty, there is still some time before the day of assembly, and I will definitely be able to think of a proper solution."

Hearing that they were only worried about this kind of thing, Li Tian not only laughed.

"It turned out to be such a small matter, I thought it was a problem.

Ordinary carriages can’t be transported, so don’t you guys build a special transport carriage yourself? It’s just a change of thinking, it’s not difficult! "

Hearing what Li Tian said suddenly, Zhou Zhen was a little dazed.

His mouth opened, and he wanted to ask Li Tian about the method in detail, but when the words came to his lips, he was a little embarrassed to ask.

Li Tian can also understand the problems they encountered.

Before the birth of the whole machine, Quan Daming had never encountered such a heavy object alone.

Even if there is, the traditional method is to finish it where it is needed, and as long as the transportation distance is not too far, they have their own way to solve it.

It’s just that this time is different. A steam engine with a complete set of equipment weighs more than 1 kilograms. Even the most powerful and best carriage of this era cannot bear such a weight.

Moreover, the capital is still more than a hundred kilometers away from Tianjinwei Wharf, so the difficulty of transportation can be imagined.

If it is necessary to transport it there, Zhou Zhen and the others will go all out to help.

It's just that the time will inevitably be too late, and there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents on the way. If the machine is damaged due to bumps, wouldn't it be a waste of all previous efforts.

In an era when mechanical equipment was not very developed, it was indeed difficult to transport overweight items.

For example, during World War II, the super-heavy cannon developed by Germany did not have a suitable transportation method.

Their response at that time was to install wheels under the cannon to make him a movable thing, and then use enough horses to pull it, and it could barely handle it.

And the Dora 1mm cannon, known as the king of all cannons, has a total weight of about [-] tons. Compared with the whole machine of more than [-] catties, the whole machine can't even match a single shell of it. superior.

It can freely shuttle on various battlefields and transport a whole machine, which is really not a problem for Li Tian.

Seeing that Zhou Zhen was still a little confused, Li Tian simply drew a blueprint of a cart specially used to transport heavy objects with a few strokes.

This cart is only less than one meter high, with a row of four or five wheels on the bottom, and a large simple and sturdy flat plate on top.

This thing, as long as the principle is explained, it is estimated that elementary school students can design it.

At this time, the load-bearing capacity of the carriage is not enough, mainly because there are too few wheels to bear enough weight.

Li Tian's method is tantamount to simply increasing the number of wheels and sharing the excess weight equally. The reason is clear, but there is actually no difficulty at all.

But it was such a simple design, Zhou Zhen and the others were also amazed and praised loudly.

"Your Majesty's wisdom is as deep as the sea, and the ministers are ashamed of themselves, ashamed of themselves!"

Li Tian was too embarrassed to be flattered by them.
