Chapter 412
For a moment, the idea of being a marquis lingered in the hearts of all the students watching the fun.
Mo Qing's face was even more excited, and his hands were slightly trembling. A weak scholar like him was not a disciple of a great family, so it was extremely difficult to make a name for himself. However, he could actually get the title of marquis by inventing the steam engine.
Mo Qing's hand trembled a little, but when he picked up the phosphorus fire again, his trembling hand stabilized. At this moment, in his eyes, there was only the experiment in front of him.
Even Zhang Liang calmed down. All the students of the Daqin Imperial Academy thought that this experiment was just an ordinary experiment, and even Mo Qing himself thought so.
But Zhang Liang is different. He is a great strategist with a keen sense of smell that ordinary people do not have. He has long understood the principles of this steam engine from Mo Qing, and has considered how big a leap this machine will bring to the Qin Empire once it is practical.
So, Mo Qing was nervous at this moment, but Zhang Liang was even more nervous than Mo Qing. He hoped that this experiment would be successful, especially the second emperor here.
Relatively speaking, Hu Hai was very calm. The directions of basic physics were given by him, and there may be some deviations, but the smart ancients had already used their intelligence and talents to improve a lot.
Amid the expectations of the people around, Mo Qing gently threw the burning phosphorus fire in his hand onto the model in front of him.
When the turmeric oil encounters an open flame, it immediately starts to burn.
The heat energy is gradually converted into kinetic energy, and the steam engine on the model slowly rotates, causing the oars on the model to swing one after another.
The boat slowly moved forward, and rows of neat oars began to row the boat model and move faster and faster. Gradually, the model moved away from the water shore and swam farther and farther in this pond.
Everyone on the shore quietly looked at the model aircraft model traveling far away, and gradually showed a wonderful expression on their faces. I don’t know who it was, so I cheered loudly.
This was out of control. Everyone started to cheer, but no one expected that such a thing could replace manpower to make the ship move forward.
The slow-witted ones just cheered, and there were a few fast-witted ones who had imagined that when all ships used this kind of thing, human power would be liberated to the maximum extent.
Amid the cheers of people, the neatly swinging oars suddenly became turbulent, and the ships that were originally moving forward began to shake.
With a light click, the fragile oar broke away from the control of the steam engine and slowly hung to the side. The ship that was originally advancing also stopped.
The steam engine is still working, but because of the departure of the oars, the ship can no longer be allowed to move forward.
Mo Qing was stunned for a moment. Thinking that Emperor Qin Ershi was watching the experiment behind him, he couldn't help but feel nervous. He turned around and knelt in front of Hu Hai, folded his fists and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am sorry for your crime. My small invention has not been successful. Please give me the crime."
Hu Hai was stunned. When he saw Mo Qing connecting the oars and the steam engine, he didn't think the ship could drive out. Now the ship had been driving for a long time before slowly stopping, which means that this method was wrong, but it could be persisted for a while.
The most important thing for a person is his brain. Mo Qing is a brainy person, but if he is a little more active and replaces the old-fashioned oars with oars, it will be perfect.
Seeing Mo Qing's fear and fear, Hu Hai was slightly moved. If an academic person is bound by political red tape, he will accomplish nothing in the academic world.
He reached out and helped Mo Qing up himself, patted him on his shoulder and said, "The Qin Empire Academy studies science, and science allows it to fail. Besides, your model aircraft has been moved successfully, which is normal. Try to replace the conventional oar with paddle blades, which will have better results and the connection with the steam engine will be smoother."
Mo Qing's body trembled slightly. Unexpectedly, the emperor not only did not blame him, but even provided him with a feasible plan. This plan instantly magnified in Mo Qing's mind, making him feel like he opened a skylight.
Zhang Liang showed a humble smile on his face, and he clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty is a true emperor of eternity. At this moment, I am truly convinced."
Hu Hai looked at Zhang Liang. He was surprised that one of the smartest men in Chinese history was able to reveal his heart to him here.
The students around them dispersed as the experiment ended and returned to their posts. Mo Qing and a few people with good water properties began to salvage the model stranded in the water. Only Zhang Liang accompanied Hu Hai, followed Han Tanhe behind them, and the few people slowly walked towards the dean's office of the Qin Empire Academy.
"Mo Qing's research is very valuable. This thing can change the current social structure of Daqin. If you need funds, please contact me to review and approve it." Hu Hai sat in Zhang Liang's office and said solemnly.
Zhang Liang did not expect that the seemingly careless Emperor II attached so much importance to Mo Qing's steam engine. A hint of joy flashed across his eyes. Because he also attached equal importance to the steam engine. If the emperor did not pay attention, he would have to find a way to convince the emperor. But now everything he was worried about was solved.
"I believe that once this machine is perfected, it will be used not only in ships, but even in horse-drawn carriages can be turned into steam locomotives. Textiles can be used to weave them with steam engines, and cultivated land can be used to cultivate many things!" Zhang Liang said, and he was excited.
At that time, his teacher Huang Shigong gave him a military book to make it a good place to hunt the country. Now, Zhang Liang has embarked on the path of science, with broad ideas and advanced people. It can be seen that a person's success depends entirely on his brain.
In fact, Hu Hai was also very excited. Once the steam engine was invented, the society would make rapid progress. Think about later generations, from the steam era to the electronic era, it only took a hundred years.
If the holiday year of heaven was in the sky, with the guidance of Hu Hai, the Qin Dynasty would have developed into the technological era in later generations in just a few decades.
Thinking of this, Hu Hai was excited.
When he just came through, he was saddened by the fact that he had sunk into this dark society. Although he was the emperor, this emperor was Qin II. He was surrounded by tigers and wolves, with internal and external troubles, and Qin was full of holes.
Now not only has the country stabilized, but the historical process has been changed in his hands, and even a steam engine has begun to be produced.
Hu Hai dared not imagine whether the invention of the TV and telephone will be lighted up next. However, since the academic atmosphere of Daqin Academy has been established, it is not allowed to be destroyed.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea that he had to implement but had never implemented it, that is, to establish public standard schools in various parts of Daqin.
Although there were some imperfections in later generations, it was once unrealistic for him to change that kind of education by relying on his own strength.
Now that I have great power and the whole country is following its own mobilization, it seems that it is not difficult to build a public school.
"I suddenly had an idea to let the cradle of talents similar to the Imperial Academy of the Great Qin bloom everywhere in the land of the Great Qin." Hu Hai looked at Zhang Liang, and he knew that this guy was the real wise man.
Zhang Liang was stunned. He obviously hadn't thought about this problem and was stunned for a moment.
