With Xu Guangqi's words, some people started to add water, some people started to fill coal, and some people started to blow up the wind, and everything went in an orderly manner.

The water was constantly heated, and steam began to appear. Xu Guangqi then gave a wink at the person in one direction. The man directly pressed the gate, and the steam began to enter the cylinder and began to push the cylinder to operate. With a huge sound, the cylinder was slowly pushed.

Seeing this scene, Xu Guangqi's eyes turned red and moved. Finally, he moved. He succeeded!

Cheers resounded throughout the Wubei Department.

The palace is located in the palace, Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Jing who was walking in eagerly, with a hint of hesitation on his face, then put down the memorial in his hand and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Return to the emperor, Dongchang secretly reported that the steam plan of the Wubei Department has been successful." Zhang Jing said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun stood up directly from the dragon throne, and the expression on his face became instantly excited. This news was so important to Zhu Yijun. Zhu Yijun calmed down for a long time and then calmed himself back down, but he couldn't bear to watch the memorial.

"I'm going to Kunning Palace," Zhu Yijun thought for a while and spoke.

For the Ming Dynasty, the significance of the steam engine is different. Perhaps it has many problems, but Zhu Yijun still hopes that it can be born. Once the problem of stable power source is solved, the Ming Dynasty will make some things, such as the birth of mortars and metal stationary artillery shells, which will allow the Ming Dynasty's artillery to reach a big step.

This big step is leapfrog, enough to crush the whole world now. Once the gun is built afterwards, the Ming Dynasty cannon will be invincible.

The Italian cannon that Zhu Yijun really wanted, that is, the legal field cannon called Miss France, would also become something that could be seen. When put on the gun, it would be possible to load metal bullets and rear-load guns, and at the same time, a revolver also became possible.

Even if you cannot build a train or a ship, the meaning of the steam engine is epoch-making.

What's more, Zhu Yijun doesn't believe that it will not be improved after being built. Once the improvement is completed, it will be a neat warship with a rear-loading gun, a modern warship in the whole sense, crushing the existence of the era. The Netherlands, France, Britain and Spain are all prey.

Perhaps this approach is a bit of arousing its growth, or perhaps this approach is insufficient in the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Yijun doesn't want to wait anymore.

Epoch-making things started the external colonization of the Ming Dynasty, and the rest could be slowly digested. When the colonization became rich, it could build a complete education system from elementary school to high school, a junior college, a scholar, and a training of everything. Even if the Ming Dynasty's technology has not improved for decades, even if they can only revolve around the steam engine, that would be enough.

Once the cultivation and inheritance of basic education is achieved, great development based on the steam engine will become possible.

Zhu Yijun had been waiting for this day for a long time. If he could do it before the Ming Dynasty took action against Southeast Asia, the benefits would undoubtedly be huge.

Zhu Yijun deeply understood the role of mortars in mountain jungle warfare. When the cannons cannot be transported in, mortars become the best weapon. With accurate range and sufficient power, the Ming Dynasty could even attack from land to Southeast Asia. If it was equipped with muskets, it would be massacres.

Zhu Yijun was not under much pressure in his heart, and he also believed that the Ming military was not under no pressure in his heart.

Zhu Yijun was very happy that night. In the slightly worried look of Queen Wang, Zhu Yijun got drunk.

The next morning, Xu Guangqi entered the palace.

Looking at Xu Guangqi, who was red in his eyes, Zhu Yijun smiled on his face, waiting to listen to him report to him.

"Your Majesty, the steam engine has been built!" As soon as he saw Zhu Yijun, Xu Guangqi knelt on the ground and said loudly. When he said this, Xu Guangqi was very excited. His body was trembling when he knelt on the ground. This was his long-cherished wish for many years.

Xu Guangqi has been trained by Zhu Yijun since he was a child, from mathematics to physics to chemistry, and after more than ten years, he has finally used what he has learned. When he invented the clock, Xu Guangqi was not so excited, but now Xu Guangqi is so excited because he really did it.

Xu Guangqi remembered it very clearly that when the emperor mentioned the steam engine to him, the fascination in his eyes was that he did not disappoint His Majesty's expectations and did it.

Zhu Yijun walked down from the dragon chaise and came straight to Xu Guangqi. He reached out and patted Xu Guangqi on the shoulder. Looking at Xu Guangqi who was crying, Zhu Yijun's eyes were also a little red. He smiled and patted Xu Guangqi on the shoulder. Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Okay, it's great!"

When Xu Guangqi calmed down, the monarch and minister started to speak. Xu Guangqi also formally introduced the steam engine he invented to Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun listened very seriously, and Xu Guangqi also spoke very seriously. The whole hall was filled with the sound of Xu Guangqi speaking.

"Your Majesty, there are still many shortcomings in the current steam engine. Give me some more time, so I will definitely let the steam engine enter the use stage. I have begun to study. Once it enters the use stage, the manufacturing of metal shells will not be a problem, and then the mortars will be able to enter mass production."

"The research on the rear-loading gun has also made progress, and I believe that we will achieve results for His Majesty soon."

"The research on the other side of the gun is also continuing, and the research on metal loading bullets has also made progress. I have tried to develop metal loading bullets when the steam engine is used."

Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Guangqi who was talking, and felt very relieved. He did not read him wrong back then. At this time, Xu Guangqi, let alone five teachers, was a priceless treasure that would be exchanged for nothing. Listening to Xu Guangqi's words, Zhu Yijun's face gradually showed a smile.

Although there has been a great breakthrough in research here, the Ming Dynasty knew very little about this.

Even if you know, you only know that the Martial Arts Department has made new inventions, but you don’t know anything about what you invented and what you are used for. You must know that the Martial Arts Department has a very high level of confidentiality, and its garrison is even better than that in the imperial palace, so as to prevent leakage of secrets.

The research there is in full swing, while Zhu Yijun is preparing for his own trip to Jiangnan.
