"The steam engine was brought over by a man named Watt from England. Wu Sangui gave the man a rough idea, and specifically mentioned rubber. Watt said that there is a machine for pumping water in British coal mines, and the principle is very similar to that of a steam engine.

Like. But the sealing is not good and it cannot provide enough power.

Later, Wu Sangui bought rubber from the Portuguese. The wattage was very powerful, and he built a steam engine in just a few months. Later, Wu Sangui got the drawings of steam engines and ships from the Ming Dynasty, which were all hand-drawn sketches.

Watt and Kui have been studying it for several weeks, oh! It's a British algorithm, and a week is seven days."

"I know!"
