Beijing Chengnan, Steam Bureau.

The emperor copied a telegram, and the head officer Zhou Sijing was pushing his glasses on his nose.

His myopia occurred before the imperial examination. Later, his friend Li Tao from the same subject gave him a pair of glasses he bought from the Portuguese. They slept in the same bed in the capital that year.

That twelfth month of that year, it was so cold that the two of them had no thick bedding in the boarding shop, and only one bed was thin. There was no other way to sleep with only one piece.

It’s not a matter of money. There are too many students going to Beijing to take the exam, and even if you have money, you can’t stay in a good room.

It was still cold to cover a quilt with a quilt, but in the end, the fur robe that Dongyang Magistrate Chen Mu gave Li Tao was useful, making the two warm all night.

There is no such thing as wearing glasses these days, and it is not clear that it is a human relationship.

Since he was in the workforce department, his vision has become increasingly blurred recently.

Originally, the Steam Electric Power Experimental Branch of the Ministry of Industry was a big foreman who relied on the annual funding of the Nanyang Military Administration to maintain the livelihood of craftsmen. Who knew that when I like these things today, the officials in the palace were running here every now and then.

The Fire De Star Lord was collected from here in the prison, and the later modifications were boiled directly from here. He, the head of the government, personally led the palace.

At first, I took it from outside the city to the city and added water once and twice. Later, after the sixth year of Wanli, I didn’t need to add water or coal in the middle. Zhou Sijing watched the growth of Huode Star Lord.

It was precisely because of the achievements of the Fire De Star Lord that the emperor said that the Steam Branch was much more useful than the Imperial Heaven Supervision. All the gods here asked to descend to the earth, but there was not even a solar eclipse there. They were directly promoted to two levels, and the seventh grade was commissioned to the fifth grade.

Of course, Li Tao, who was not as good as the same subject, became the prefect of Hengzhou three years ago and became the first in the examination. In the third year, the city gates of the government were not closed, and the roads were not collected. Now he is the third-rank Huguang Censor.

However... Zhou Sijing took out this telegram from the emperor. Note that it was a guy who could drag a 4,000-pound cart to walk for 400 miles in a row at a speed of four miles per hour, and he also passed the exam.

If you take it out within six months, please give it to him, the Minister of the Processing Department, and don’t care about the left and right ones, then you will be the third rank.

Zhou Sijing was so happy that he saw this. This matter is too easy!

The steam bureau was full of small fire de star kings running around. Isn’t it enough to just replace the big ones? The new young office in the bureau said that a few days ago, he changed a Type B Fire De star king and wanted to take another one to run on the way so that he could deliver goods to others in the future.

Before he could be happy, he suddenly heard a mess outside. As soon as the head of the chief Zhou Sijing put the telegram in his sleeve, he heard someone shouting outside the door: "Master Zhou, big things are not good!"

"Come in, say something slowly, and you're so chaotic." Zhou Sijing didn't even move his body, and raised his hand to the table and asked the craftsman at the door, "I haven't seen any accidents in our Steam Bureau? Even the Military Weapon Bureau is not so much that we make a big fuss. I don't know how many times the boiler has been blown up. Don't be afraid, drink a sip of water, are there any dead people?"

Zhou Sijing felt that all the officials and craftsmen under his command had seen strong storms and should not be so panicked.

The resistance was too large and the house was lit up in the sky. They had seen it, and they could see it three or four times a year. The boiler exploded, the factory collapsed, and the steam turbine was not in charge and cut the door. He had seen it. Although there had not been such an accident in the past six months, Zhou Sijing felt that he had practiced the magical skill of facing accidents calmly.

For example, there is a small machine fixed half a human height on a four-wheeled cart in the corner of the Steam Bureau. It looks similar to the Huode Star Lord, but Kezi is not Huode Star Lord, but two little men, one black and one white, with four hands dancing with their swords and spears in front.

The fanatical Zhou Sijing named it "Black and White Impermanence" last year, but the strange thing that does not burn hot water and has a spear on the front of the car, has long blades on all sides, and has several thick tubes on the butt. Now it is just a souvenir of failure.

Because the power of this chariot does not come from steam, but gunpowder.

One by one, the quantitative gunpowder packs are transmitted to the wheel through four pistons and mechanical parts, so that the chariot charges forward and automatically pulls down the subsequent medicine pack that is wrapped around the ignition of the medicine twist.

Zhou Sijing's original intention was to create a chariot with flat terrain or downhill impacting the infantry phalanx. The city guard can also be used as a door-to-door knife chariot, so that the car can be sent out without human pushing and the city gate can be easily closed.

For this purpose, he made many designs, calculations, and experiments, and broke down many pistons and left a scar on his thigh. In the end, he really made this idea come true.

When Hei Wuchang was moving forward, his arms holding two steel knives would swing back and forth in a semicircle. When Bai Wuchang was holding two long spears in his hand, he stabbed them back and forth alternately. When the gunpowder approached the end of the charge road, the two bowl guns arranged up and down the chest and abdomen of the two Wuchangs would spray two hundred leads forward one after another and even bury gunpowder under his butt and finally explode.

Such a comprehensive and powerful weapon, which is mass-produced and used, should not stay here, it should be in Ye Mengxiong's hands.

Ye Mengxiong couldn't do it well now that Qi Jiguang has used them to attack the Mongols.

But black and white impermanence also has its disadvantages.

Its shortcomings are only one of the furthest times, and it took seven steps.

Gunpowder is really hard to control as a power!

Zhou Sijing took a look at the glory of the past, and the dusty black and white impermanence was proof that he was not afraid of any blows.

Then he saw the old craftsman shook his head quickly: "No dead, no dead."

The slightly raised heart immediately fell back, and Zhou Sijing waved his hand: "It's good that there are no dead people, there are no big things in this world."

The old craftsman still held his fists and bowed his waist, his head lowered slightly but looked at him with his eyes raised, his eyes filled with panic. Obviously, he was not convinced, and he said: "There is no one dead, and there is also a big deal."

This finally attracted Zhou Sijing's attention. He frowned and stood up and said, "What happened?"

"The city wall, Xu Suozheng was eliminated by controlling the Fire De Xingjun and smashed the city wall."

At first, Zhou Sijing seemed to have not reacted to what the old craftsman was saying, frowned and asked first: "City wall? The steam engine's car broke... Which city wall are you talking about? Is it Yangou City in Liangxiang or Beijing City?"

"In the outer city, on the left corner of the You'anmen Gate, Xu Suozheng dragged the big cart by the Huode Star Lord, and seemed to have changed something on the car, so he couldn't turn and hit the corner of the city gate... Master Zhou, please go quickly. The city wall collapsed, and the soldiers of the five cities' military personnel surrounded him."

"The outer city was originally built and cut corners. Even if you want to hit the inner city, you can't even hit the shape A... This Xu Xiucai, alas!"

Zhou Sijing used his tiger's mouth to rub his forehead hard for a few times, then stood up and said, "Let's go, pay some money from the bureau's account. After the bridge and roads were repaired, my steam bureau actually went to the capital."

The Xu Xiucai mentioned by Zhou Sijing is a young scholar from Shanghai County, named Xu Guangqi.
