Tianjin, with the strength and development of the Ming Empire, Tianjin has also become more prosperous, larger and larger, more and more populous, more and more factories, even the Tianjin Port has become extremely busy.
Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao were sitting in a four-wheeled carriage, looking at the prosperous Tianjin while driving towards the Tianjin Shipyard.
After waiting for several years, the steamship was finally built.
The emergence of steamships means that the steam age has developed to a certain stage.
This speed is much faster than the steam era in history. This is of course due to Liu Jin's deliberate guidance. If no one guided it, it would not be known that the steam engine would be built just in the year of the monkey.
Technology, as a thing, sometimes requires a foundation, but more often it requires inspiration, especially in the early stages of technological development.
The use of steam as power was researched by Liu Jin after he spent money on it. After the research was completed, he was deliberately guided to develop various machines with the steam engine as the core.
Steam cultivators, harvesters, rice mills, grinders, trains, driven spinning machines and looms, etc. In fact, in the final analysis, the steam engine is the core, and various mechanical equipment are being studied around the steam engine. increase productivity.
Steamship is an extremely complex and huge project. Without sufficient accumulation of science and technology, it will definitely be difficult to develop.
This is also the reason why steam engines are already so powerful, but it took several years, with the strong support of Liu Jin, to research the steamship.
This is because the research on steam trains has greatly improved the mechanical level of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, this steamship would not have been built until the end of the year.
"Old Liu, let me tell you, if I become the emperor in the future, I will definitely make my younger brother a champion. He will also be a general who is brave enough to champion the three armies and be a wolf."
Classmate Zhu Houzhao is still immersed in the joy of becoming a brother, and is thinking about giving himself a reward in the future.
¡°¡.Your Highness, maybe she is a younger sister~¡±
Liu Jin was speechless. Even before he was born, you kept saying he was a younger brother. Maybe he was a younger sister.
What¡¯s more, the son of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is not an emperor but also a prince. If you become the emperor and your brother becomes a marquis, why should you?
The place where the wolf is now living in Xu belongs to the Ming Dynasty. You can go wherever you want. As for the countries in the world that can compete with the Ming Dynasty, there seem to be few countries in the world now.
"Besides, your father, Emperor Hongzhi, was in his prime in the Spring and Autumn Period, and his body was as strong as an ox. Now that he has created humans, you are still shouting that when you become the emperor, isn't it bad?"
You are not a son of man!
"Brother, he must be a younger brother."
"I don't want a younger sister. My younger sister is no fun at all. She can't march and fight, and she definitely can't learn mechanics or anything like that. I don't like it even if I think about it."
Zhu Houzhao curled his lips and said.
Why does this old Liu have to say she is her sister? If she is really her sister, what will happen?
The four-wheeled carriage the two were riding in soon arrived at the Tianjin Shipyard. Chen Shou, the director of the shipyard, and Professor Ren Siheng, the dean of the Beijing Mechanical Research Institute, were already waiting.
Ren Siheng was personally received by Emperor Hongzhi because he led the team to develop the train, and was granted the title of count. At the same time, he also received the title and salary of a fifth-grade official. Now he is a role model and benchmark for Ming science and technology workers.
After the train was developed, he led the team to the shipyard and worked together with the shipyard to research and manufacture steamships.
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince~"
"I have met Mr. Liu~"
When they saw Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin, they and many people behind them who had been waiting for them quickly saluted.
"No need, no need, take me to see my steamship."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand. He has always disliked the strict etiquette here. He is very careless, so naturally he dislikes this aspect the most.
"Yes~"
Chen Shou and Ren Siheng also hurriedly led the way to the shipbuilding dock where the neat ship was located.
Liu Jin watched as he walked. The Tianjin Shipyard is currently the largest shipyard in the Ming Dynasty. It can produce thousands of large ships every year. Its annual output value exceeds hundreds of millions of taels of silver, and it pays millions of taels of silver in taxes every year.
At this time, large ships under construction were parked in each shipyard, and there were a large number of shipbuilders beside each ship.
Each group of shipbuilders, the whole person seemed very excited.
"This surface~"
"This design~"
At the same time, while looking at the situation of the propeller, he carefully observed the structure. The more he looked at the whole person, the more excited he became. Then he said angrily to Liu Jin: "Old Liu, it's all your fault. If you hadn't asked me to study electromagnetism, I would have He must have also participated in the research and development of this steamship."
"Look at this curved surface, and then look at this design. This is simply the pinnacle work in the mechanical field. It's really amazing that such a curved surface can be processed!"
¡°¡¡±
Liu Jin was speechless. If the electromagnetic field I pointed out to you can achieve anything, it will definitely not be as bad as a steamship like you. You don't know the heart of a good person. What's more, you seem to like studying electromagnetism. Yes, now that I am fine, you are blaming me. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
