Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "Then go and have a look."

Then he followed Li Goudan to the Ministry of Science and Technology.

He is ready to face surprises.

Because he knew that Li Goudan's character must have achieved great results from the Ministry of Science and Technology, otherwise the calm Li Goudan would not be so urgent.

But what will it be?

Could it be a breakthrough in firearms?

If it weren't for taking into account his identity as the emperor, Zhao Dongting would almost have to ask Li Goudan what surprise he was on the way.

Finally, I arrived at the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Li Goudan took Zhao Dongting and walked deeper.

The Ministry of Science and Technology is very big and has now developed into many departments.

There are research on people's livelihood science and technology, and there are also many other categories.

It has the prototype of the later Academy of Sciences.

Although there are also similar laboratories in the top universities in the Song Dynasty, the Ministry of Science and Technology is well deserved to be the gathering place for the highest scientific and technological crystallization of the Song Dynasty.

They inherited many advanced concepts of Zhao Dongting. In addition, they also have the most top scientific researchers, the most abundant funds and the most advanced equipment.

Zhao Dongting almost responded to the Ministry of Science and Technology because he always understood that the Ministry of Science and Technology was the foundation of the Song Dynasty leading the world.

The more you are located deep in the Ministry of Science and Technology, the more important scientific research projects are.

Over the years, the achievements made by the Ministry of Science and Technology in many aspects have made Zhao Dongting amazed.

He thought so many wonderful ideas that even he found it incredible.

Until the deepest part of the Ministry of Science and Technology.

When Zhao Dongting saw the innermost house, his heart suddenly started to beating violently.

He realized something.

Because he had entered this room and had dictated to Li Goudan about the core direction of future technological development.

In his opinion, the fundamental breakthrough of technology lies in the use of resources.

The innermost house of the Ministry of Science and Technology is about resource utilization.

This is the top secret of the Song Dynasty, even Lu Xiufu, Zhong Jian and others are not allowed to contact him.

Zhao Dongting's steps were a little faster unconsciously.

When he arrived at the big room in the innermost part, Li Goudan took out the key and opened the heavy iron door.

The sound of iron chains clattered.

It's pitch black inside.

Li Goudan took the lead in and pulled down a mechanism.

There was also a clamor on the roof, and then a bright light shone in.

In the center of this huge room, there is a huge copper machine.

Zhao Dongting leaned over and only glanced at him for a few seconds before knowing what this was. His eyes widened and he said to Li Goudan: "This, is this... a steam engine?"

Li Goudan nodded and said, "Yes, this is the steam engine you conceived by yourselves."

Zhao Dongting was shocked.

Does this... the emergence of this steam engine indicate the coming of the industrial revolution of the Song Dynasty?

The steam engine is the core. If it is manufactured, its application will inevitably be invented at a blowout rate.

Machinery replaces labor... He did not think that Li Goudan would lead the Ministry of Science and Technology to develop the steam engine in such a short time.

He asked himself that this was something he could not do.

The steam engine is by no means as simple as it seems.

His heart was filled with rich joy and he hurriedly said to Li Goudan: "Hurry, show me the drawings of this steam engine."

Li Goudan's face was also full of excitement, and she hurried to the side, picked up a stack of drawings and handed them to Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting took it and looked at it one by one.

Although he did not study this major in his previous life, he could still roughly understand the drawings.

Condenser...cylinder...                                                           

Can steam engines be used instead of manpower as the driving force for sea ships?

After Zhao Dongting read the drawings, this year's time popped up in his mind.

Inconvenient transportation is the biggest problem in the world.

If steam engines can be used for sea ships, the navigation industry will make rapid progress.

In the future, whether you go to North America or the West, your navigation time will be greatly reduced.

This means that the Song Dynasty will be able to control the situation in various places more in a timely manner and transfer resources from all over the world back and forth.

Although Zhao Dongting doesn't want to over-explore resources now, because there is no need.

But its significance and impact are absolutely profound.

The Song Dynasty will have HNA strength far beyond the world.

There must be some disadvantages.

After the use of the steam engine was spread, Zhao Dongting could no longer control the development around the world.

Because he didn't even understand what aspects could the steam engine be used in.

Will anyone use steam engines for war?

Will anyone use the use of steam engines to surpass Da Song’s technological strength?

Will the Song Dynasty’s dominance be challenged then?

"Dog."

After pondering, Zhao Dongting said: "Don't tell me about the steam engine for the time being."

Li Zhaoen nodded naturally, "I will receive the order."

Seeing his solemn appearance, Zhao Dongting couldn't help but smile again, patted his shoulder and said, "This is the best birthday gift I have received in so many years. You haven't disappointed me."
