HCB Chapter 424 Starting the Industrial Revolution
Chapter 424 Starting the Industrial Revolution
"Is this a steam engine? It's really extraordinary!"
It wasn't until the roar of the steam engine stopped that Ying Zheng let out a sigh of relief, full of emotion.
Even if he was mentally prepared, the enormous power displayed by this steam engine was completely beyond Ying Zheng's imagination.
Although the booming sound sounds a bit noisy at close range, to Ying Zheng at this moment, it is the most powerful and powerful sound, and it is a symbol of Great Qin standing on top of the world.
The blood in Ying Zheng's heart was completely ignited.
"With such a machine that burns coal that can produce huge energy, my workshop in Daqin can bloom everywhere, ha!"
Looking at the hot boiler, Meng Yi said with excitement on his face.
All the officials on the side were also inexplicably excited.
Although they don't know much about science and technology, as long as they are not blind, they can see what such a terrible mechanical machine means!
This kind of energy far surpasses pure human power, and directly catches up with the power of the legendary gods.
If you don't believe it, just look at the storm that was set off when the steam engine roared just now.
And it's just a steam engine. If ten or a hundred or even a thousand of them are put together, they can scare the opponent to death.
Nei Shiteng and other household officials were even more overjoyed.
This steam engine, which looked ugly before, is now in their eyes, a shining gold, an artifact that represents a steady stream of goods!
With the steam engine, Daqin's industrial production capacity can definitely be multiplied several times, and this means that the wealth has skyrocketed several times!
It is no exaggeration to say that throwing money is enough to kill Rome and other countries!
More than enough to buy the entire Far West!
The common people also rejoiced one by one.
As Daqin people, they are deeply proud of Daqin's strength.
Moreover, since Ying Yu stopped power, every time Daqin became stronger, it would become a benefit to the people, allowing all the people to share the fruits of development.
This has completely twisted the already high popular sentiment.
The country is rich and the people are strong, in Great Qin, it has completely become a reality.
Kong Xun and the others even had a hellish expression, full of disbelief.
Before they dared to question Ying Yu, they believed that it was impossible for such a magical machine to appear in Daqin.
However, now, Ying Yu slapped all of them hard on the face with the facts.
Facts speak louder than words, Ying Yu not only said it, but actually did it.
Kong Xun and others can naturally feel the booming machinery and huge power.
At this time, any language is so pale and powerless in front of this amazing energy.
There is absolutely no need to say more about the outcome of this debate.
Even at this moment they still need to thank Ying Yu.
Because if the power of the steam engine was not so amazing that the common people could not look away, they would have become the object of ridicule by tens of thousands of people.
Kong Xun slumped on the ground helplessly, his face full of despair.
At this moment, he hated Zheng Yuan extremely in his heart.
If Zheng Yuan's acting skills were not too exaggerated, he could also pretend to be dizzy together, and maybe he could even fool him.
He even wanted to punch himself.
In particular, Ying Yu's eyes had never looked directly at the Confucian people.
This kind of ignorance hurt Kong Xun and others even more.
A group of researchers from the Academy of Engineering also raised their arms and cheered together.
As the most outstanding group of craftsmen in Daqin, no one knows better than them the difficulty of developing science and engineering in Daqin.
It can be said that the old Daqin craftsmen were completely scattered. Not only were they humble and had no sense of existence, but they also did not have a well-formed theory. It was very difficult to inherit, let alone develop.
Among the craftsmen, the most famous Mohists and Gongloists, one is talking about Jianai Feigong all day long, and the other is wholeheartedly fighting against Mohism, and they have completely deviated from the direction.
The Jiangzuo Shaofu is also a department in name only, and the chief officials are a group of honorable dudes.
Daqin's science and engineering was completely proposed by Ying Yu and founded by himself.
Ying Yu not only improved the status of the craftsmen, but also made the craftsmen understand their own position and the direction of development.
The development of science and technology in Daqin was entirely brought out by Ying Yu.
Without Ying Yu, it is absolutely impossible to have many scientific research results, let alone the development of such a machine as the steam engine that is enough to shock the world.
You know, even in the Academy of Sciences and Academy of Engineering, there are many people who question whether the steam engine can really be developed.
Craftsmen have also been tossed and discouraged by countless failures.
In the end, he was able to persevere because of the encouragement and support of Ying Yu, who proposed the steam engine theory.
But now, they finally lived up to Ying Yu's expectations and manufactured the prototype of the steam engine.
Everything feels like a dream, making them feel a little unreal.
Ying Yu smiled faintly. The appearance of the steam engine meant that the Industrial Revolution of Daqin could finally start.
Due to Ying Yu's reasons, Daqin's steam engine research and development stood on the shoulders of giants from the very beginning.
The steam engine in front of me may seem crude, but compared to the Watt steam engine in later history, I don't know how much better it is.
It only needs a little improvement before it can be put into industrial production.
What the Academy of Engineering needs to do now is to further improve the steam engine, increase the work efficiency, and develop more models.
Not only must the power be strong enough to drive the entire production line, or a large machine that is a sea ship, but also a product that is small enough to be stuffed into a car.
Realize the Daqin on wheels.
And all of this, Ying Yu has already planned it long ago, and he just needs to do it step by step.
Especially now, looking at the reactions of hundreds of thousands of people, one can know that Daqin's steam engine has penetrated into the hearts of the people.
Once it is put into use, it will definitely get strong support from the people.
As for whether foreigners would know, Ying Yu was not afraid at all.
With Daqin supported by him, the development of steam engines is so difficult.
It is impossible for other countries to develop a steam engine that transcends the times for thousands of years.
Moreover, Jinyiwei and other Daqin intelligence agencies have already penetrated into the high-level positions of Rome, Carthage and other countries, and are digging for valuable talents from these countries.
Even if these countries achieve some small achievements, they will only cheapen their talents, or be killed directly.
Moreover, the advent of the steam engine can also allow the Suez Canal to be opened faster.
It will not leave time for the development of Rome and other countries at all.
Daqin's road to world domination will inevitably be accelerated again because of the advent of the steam engine!
The whole world is Qin, and it will be realized soon.
It is an honor for these countries to be part of Great Qin.
It is best to be able to integrate into Daqin, otherwise, Ying Yu is not a soft-hearted person.
