274, the first steam engine exists, and a new engine will be built within three years

Three days later, a hundred craftsmen stood in a workshop with some anxiety.

This workshop was originally used by the Ministry of Works to make armor. It has been abandoned for several years due to the excessive slack military equipment of the Ming Dynasty. Traces of the attacks can be seen everywhere.

The craftsmen whispered and whispered.

"You guys say, what are we going to repair for His Royal Highness this time?"

"I don't know, does Your Highness want to build a secret room?"

"Impossible, most of us are blacksmiths."

Twenty officials stood in front of these blacksmiths and were also discussing secretly.

"Sir, why do you say that Your Highness summons us and these craftsmen?"

"Is it necessary to create a new cannon?"

"The cannon is not so easy to make, you're thinking too much."

"It may also be to make some new weapons, Your Highness is a famous general in our Ming Dynasty."

"This makes sense."

Suddenly, Fang Gong's duckling voice came: "Your Highness the Prince is here!"

Everyone suddenly fell silent, stood solemnly, staring at the front, and after saluting, he spoke in unison: "I have seen Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhu Cilang looked at the 120 people in front of him and was quite satisfied.

The only thing that made Zhu Ciyang a little dissatisfied was that the lines in the TV series "The Prince's Highness, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years

Forget it, we can't expect every dynasty to like cultivating slavery like the Jiannu dynasty.

Zhu Cilang coughed and said, "Everyone, I'm here to come here today, mainly for something that will allow you to make a fortune."

When everyone present was stunned when they heard Zhu Cixuan's words.

Of course they had imagined and discussed many possibilities, but they never expected that Zhu Cilang actually mentioned such possibilities.

Get rich?

This scene was really as expected by Zhu Cilang. He smiled and looked at Fang Gonggan, and the latter immediately understood and said, "Come on!"

More than a dozen large boxes were immediately brought up and opened.

The next moment, a cold light unique to silver reflected in the sunlight, which immediately triggered a low exclaim and breathing sound.

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Everyone should know that the Ming Dynasty is actually not much money now, so you can't make much money even if you do things for the Ming Dynasty."

This sentence immediately received the approval of many people in their hearts.

The Ming Dynasty in history was that the financial bankruptcy, the tax was not collected, and he was poor to death. Now, the Ming Dynasty is a little better than the Ming Dynasty in history, and it is still a sound.

In other dynasties, at least there is a stable salary and no worries about food and drink. At this time, I am grateful to be able to eat a full meal. Salary is a bit of a castle in the air.

Zhu Cixuan continued, "But, it will be different for me to do things. Everyone will receive a sum of money first, and then - well, get your half-year salary!"

When everyone heard this, they were even more turbulent.

Pay half a year's salary at one time? This is so bold!

Suddenly, everyone's favorability towards Zhu Cilang was so rapid.

This prince is such a good person!

Suddenly, Zhu Cilang's expression became serious.

"Everyone, the money will be sent to you soon. However, I have an ugly saying in front of me. Taking money is something to do. If things are done well, I will naturally have more rewards in the future. But if I find someone deliberately delaying and failing to work, then this person will inevitably be severely punished by me. Do you understand?"

Everyone was very grateful for this.

Zhu Cilang nodded slightly and said, "Then, please follow me."

As he said that, Zhu Cilang turned around and walked towards the factory behind him.

Everyone was confused, but they still followed Zhu Cilang's footsteps and walked into the factory.

As soon as I walked into the factory, someone exclaimed shocked: "What is this?" "It's so huge." "It looks a bit beautiful."

A huge steam engine was placed there, touched by everyone's shocked eyes.

Zhu Cixuan opened his hands and smiled at everyone, "Welcome to the new era, everyone."

Then, there was a cold incident.

The headed official of the Ministry of Works said in confusion: "Your Highness, can you explain what do you need the officials and others to do?"

Zhu Cilang clapped his hands and smiled and said, "I am so excited. Let's do it. I'll demonstrate it to you. Come on, start the machine!"

Why is it said that a steam engine is a great invention that has crossed the ages? Because a steam engine is actually a "force-generating device", and the "force" it emits can be used in any industry that requires force.

In other words, steam engines are almost omnipotent, whether it is transportation, textiles, water conservancy, smelting and casting, etc., steam engines can be used to improve efficiency.

Soon, the huge steam engine was started and made a deafening sound.

The many craftsmen were shocked.

“It moved!”

"A such a huge structure can actually make such a smooth movement?"

"Divine objects, divine objects. I have cast them all my life and have never seen such a divine object!"

The craftsmen have been dealing with steel all their lives. Their understanding of steel machinery may not be worth mentioning from a historical perspective, but in this era, they are already the most peak group of people in the Ming Dynasty.

Undoubtedly, the steam engine has aroused their strong interest.

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "You can take a look here."

Following Zhu Cixuan's finger, everyone saw that there was actually a machine next to the steam engine, but before, everyone subconsciously thought it was part of the steam engine, so it was ignored.

It was a textile machine.

The steam engine emits power, pushing the textile machine, starting to weave lines, and quickly form the prototype of the cloth.

Everyone was shocked.

"Makes can actually weave?"

"This speed is not much different than that of humans."

"That's still slower than humans."

"What do you know? Humans need to eat and sleep, but machines can work for twelve hours a day. It seems that machines are slower than humans, but the output of this machine is much better than that of humans in one day."

"…It seems that this is true."

"If this thing can be promoted and manufactured on a large scale, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty's textile output be..."

Speaking of this, everyone was excited.

They seem to see a brand new future!

The next moment, everyone's eyes were gathered on Zhu Cixuan.

They knew very well that Zhu Cilang would be the leader of this future.

Zhu Cilang laughed and said seriously: "Everyone, your task is very simple, that is, to strive to understand all the principles of this machine within one year and build a new one for me within three years!"
