Chapter 731 Theory of Power
"In this order, you will keep an eye on me one by one, so don't be neglected."
In the imperial study room, Xiao Ming handed a black booklet to Pang Yukun, which were some industries he asked Pang Yukun and Fiji to establish.
Pang Yukun took the booklet and looked at it, and couldn't help but look at it. This is the business that Xiao Ming listed and the business that the Great Yu Kingdom lacked and that needed to be improved.
In addition to industry, aquaculture industry is also emphasized.
"Your Majesty, with this minister, you can read the text according to your script." Pang Yukun said happily.
Xiao Ming nodded, and he said what he should say. At this time, he asked the two to go back separately and strictly follow the industry plan he provided to realize the industry system of the Great Yu Kingdom.
After seeing off the two, Xiao Ming relaxed and relaxed. Although Pang Yukun and Fiji had handled a lot of government affairs for him during this period, he was worried more than before.
As all walks of life blossomed everywhere in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, he had to personally go to the battlefield to hand over more knowledge to the students of Qingzhou University.
Although the science and technology library is in his mind, it is expected that he will not be able to achieve the rise of civilization alone. Only by cultivating more and more talents like Lin Wentao and Lu Tong can a complete industrial system be realized in the Great Chongqing Kingdom.
Just as he was thinking, Qian Dafu walked over with some displeasure and complained: "The emperor is already very tired, why does the emperor have to personally ask about the trivialities of the Great Chongqing Kingdom?"
Xiao Ming immediately laughed. Qian Dafu really felt sorry for him as an emperor. After all, strictly speaking, he grew up with the owner of his body.
"After saying that, who is asking for a meeting outside the door?" Every time Qian Dafu complains like this, it must be something that says big or small.
Sighing, Qian Dafu said, "It was Zhang Liang's father and daughter who asked for a meeting, and they were talking about the steam engine. In the eyes of Lao Nu, why should I come to the emperor for this little thing?"
If it were before, Xiao Ming might not have seen the two of them, but now he has to do everything in technology, in order to make the Great Chongqing Kingdom catch up with Europe as soon as possible.
After all, he is improving, and European technology is also improving, and Europe in this era is obviously more like cheating than contemporary Europe.
In the same historical period, Europe's technical level at this time has surpassed contemporary Europe for half a century or even more. The most important thing is that such Europe has extended its tentacles to Asia.
Therefore, he needed even more weapons to defeat them at sea, and this was the steam warship.
"This is not a trivial matter, let them in." Qian Dafu complained, but he still didn't dare to take some things without authorization.
After answering, Qian Dafu turned around and left, and soon led Zhang Liang and his daughter to the imperial study room.
"Secretary, a civilian girl, please see the emperor." Zhang Liang and Zhang Qiyun said in unison.
"No gift." Xiao Ming looked at the two of them, "Are you having difficulties on the steamboat?"
Zhang Qiyun is a dull man. She doesn't like to talk on weekdays. Zhang Liang knew his daughter in his heart, so he took the initiative to say: "Emperor, the old minister and his daughter tried to build steam warships in Qingzhou Shipbuilding Shop. Now he is a little surprised, but now he is worried about what kind of motivation to take, so he comes to ask the emperor for advice."
"Tell me," Xiao Ming looked serious. Every time he discussed technical issues, he acted like a technician.
Zhang Liang cleared his throat and organized some language and said, "After Lao Chen's experiment, the steam engine and propeller can indeed make a warship sail, but Lao Chen is not very relieved about the steam engine. If the coal on the warship is used up or the steam engine is damaged, the steam engine ship will become a dead ship. Therefore, Lao Chen thought that we could not just use steam power, but should also keep the mast of the sail warship."
After pausing, Zhang Liang said, "But this is just the old minister's idea, but the old minister's daughter insisted on completely changing the structure of the warship. For this matter, this girl fought with the old minister with the emperor's will for several days, and the old minister had no choice but to come to the emperor."
As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, Zhang Qiyun said, "Master, steam engine warships have their own suitable hull structure. Now, to build steam warships, they naturally have to abandon their previous hulls."
"But how many cannons are there on your hull?" Zhang Liang shook his head, "You are just dissatisfied with one bottle, half a bottle of bang."
Xiao Ming smiled. Zhang Liang was saying that Zhang Qiyun had not learned thoroughly. He looked at Zhang Qiyun and said, "The main purpose of warships is to fight, so for a lot of time, sail warships would rather give up their speed than ensure firepower. Now that you have lost all my artillery positions, how can my warships fight?"
Zhang Qiyun frowned and was stunned for a moment. She really didn't consider this.
Zhang Liang showed a victory smile at this time, and he felt very proud of the old and old. I have to say that when his daughter raised the steam power, he was so shocked that his eyes almost fell off.
For this reason, he deliberately returned to Qingzhou from Dengzhou to try to produce a steam engine-powered ship. Now under preliminary experiments, he and Zhang Qiyun completed the experiment of driving the propeller to rotate the steam engine to make the ship move forward. The construction of experimental ships will be officially started.
"Your Majesty, Lao Chen's suggestion is to temporarily use hybrid power to retain the power of the sail warship and the steam engine as auxiliary power. After all, in the opinion of Lao Chen, it is difficult for the current steam engine to drive a large warship to sail for a long time. And without the supply of coal, the warship will be finished." Zhang Liang said finally.
Xiao Ming nodded. What Zhang Liang said was indeed true. The steam engine has been improving now. The steam engine in this steam engine warship is no longer an ordinary steam engine, but a high-temperature and high-pressure steam engine.
Compared with ordinary steam engines, this steam engine is more efficient and has more powerful power.
It is precisely with this kind of steam engine as a guarantee that Lin Wentao dared to start producing steam engine locomotives, and now this kind of steam engine is used on warships again.
But as Zhang Liang was worried, his warships would be voyages in the future. For this reason, purely crushed warships powered by steam need to be replenished with coal and fresh water at each supply point.
There is no problem in the waters of the Great Yu Kingdom now, but he has no choice but to leave this range. Therefore, at this time, sails are needed to ensure that the warships can still move.
Zhang Qiyun was originally very stubborn. Now that Zhang Liang and Xiao Ming analyzed this, she gradually came back to her taste, but she was still a little unwilling to accept it, "Isn't it a joke to say that steam engine warship?"
