The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 922

[Chapter 922 Mounted on the carriage]

Fang Xiu nodded at Xu Ze, with a smile on his face, and asked: “How is the improvement of the steam engine?” Xu Ze

said

hurriedly: “It is ready to work!”

It

seems a bit ambiguous.

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said, “Let’s go and have a look!”

“Yes, Duke!”

Xu Ze hurriedly led the way.

Fang Xiu followed, and soon he was in front of the steam engine.

Xu Ze winked.

Immediately, students came forward and started adding coal to the steam engine’s furnace.

Instantly, the steam engine began to run at full power, making bursts of noise.

The British public next to him was completely stunned when he saw this scene.

He stared blankly at what was happening in front of him, so shocked that he could hardly speak.

“What is this? Why can it move on its own?”

He is so old and has been fighting for half his life. What has he not seen before?

But I have never seen anything like this before. Just add water and firewood, and this thing will move up and down.

Although it is crude, the British father understands it.

Once other machinery, such as textile machines and spinning machines, are connected to the steam engine, cloth can be produced automatically without manpower.

In addition, there must be other uses!

But, for a moment, he couldn’t remember it.

Fang Xiu’s expression became a little strange when he heard what the British father said.

What the British public said was not wrong.

It just

sounds so weird.

He waved his hand and said with a smile: “This is a steam engine, Shibo, how about it? I said this thing is an ancient mythical beast. You must have never seen it, right!”

When the British Duke heard this, he glanced at Fang Xiu and felt He was a little speechless, but he didn’t care about it.

Instead, he looked at Xu Ze beside him and asked, “To make this thing work, all you need to do is add water and coal?”

Although Xu Ze didn’t know the British prince, he understood that this man must be a prince or nobleman. Not daring to be negligent, he replied: “To be precise, you only need to add water. Coal is added to provide heat. Firewood and the like are also acceptable.” When

the British public heard this, he seemed to have thought of something and took a breath.

Turning his head, he looked at Fang Xiu and cursed: “You little bastard, I knew you had no good intentions before!

When you were nothing, you were only interested in profit. You could earn tens of thousands of taels even if you were a pro-military reviewer. , you will spend a lot of money to buy a coal mine that is steadily losing money?

It turns out that you are waiting for me here!

Fortunately, I am smart, otherwise I would have been deceived by you! “

Although the British man is a martial artist, he has seen a lot. , the horizons are broadened.

Good things can naturally be seen at a glance.

He understood just by seeing the way the steam engine operated.

This thing will definitely become popular throughout Dachu!

Not only is it popular, but to be more precise,

this steam machine will change the entire country, and even the entire world!

In the past, this kind of thing that only needed to add some water to run automatically existed only in some fairy tales.

Now it has actually appeared in reality, which is really incredible!

The British Duke looked at the steam engine in front of him, and for a moment he didn’t know what to say.

Fang Xiu looked at the steam engine, but his face showed joy, and he said, “Yes, it looks a bit like that.”

“Thank you for your respect, my lord.”

Xu Ze said with a smile, and when he said this, his face also changed. With pride.

Obviously, this steam engine made him very satisfied.

Fang Xiu was also very satisfied and continued: “Look for any defects in this thing and make corrections. After the corrections are made, we will find a way to mass produce them. After mass production, they will be sent to major coal mines. Then send it to Wuxiu Buzhuang.

This thing is not allowed to be sold to anyone without my permission. Do you understand?”

Xu Ze said hurriedly: “Yes, Duke!”

Fang Xiu nodded and went around. I walked around with the steam engine, and the more I looked at it, the happier I felt.

Unexpectedly, his men could actually tinker with the steam engine.

Fang Xiu thought for a while, looked at Xu Ze beside him, and said, “Xu Ze, what do you think if this thing is installed on carriages and boats?”

“This”

Xu Ze was slightly startled when he heard this question.

Immediately, light flashed in his eyes.

yes!

Since this steam engine can operate automatically, why not install it on a carriage?

The original carriage was driven by horses, but if it is replaced by a steam engine, it will be the same!

The most important thing is that this steam engine is not as delicate as a horse.

Horses also need food, grass, and rest.

I’m afraid there are only a few hours available in a day.

However, this steam engine is completely different.

As long as there’s enough water and coal, this thing can keep running!

No rest needed!

Moreover, according to his current understanding, the power that this steam engine can produce is much greater than that of horses!

Just build the steam engine bigger.

Or if the steam engine is researched more precisely, the power it generates will be far superior to that of horses!

In this way, more people can be attracted.

And the goods!

The most important thing is that the new road built by An Guogong is now very smooth.

Coupled with these rubber wheels, it is not a fantasy for a steam engine to drive a carriage on the road!

Thinking of this, Xu Ze showed excitement on his face, raised his eyes to look at Fang Xiu, and said loudly: “My lord, you, you are simply a genius! None of the Wenqu stars in the sky are as knowledgeable or as talented as you. Agile!”

He was originally just a small carpenter, and he had some ability in studying the principles of machinery.

He really couldn’t hold back any words to flatter him.

These words don’t sound like a big deal, but for Xu Ze, it is already extremely difficult.

Moreover, these are his words from the bottom of his heart.

Although these words may sound flattering, that’s what he really thinks in his heart.

Although the power of steam was first told to him by the little girl Pearl.

However, it was the Duke who really proposed it first.

It was the Duke who told this idea to the girl Zhuer that she began to think about the power of steam.

Knowing the power of steam, then there is the steam engine.

The steam engine was also proposed by An Guogong.

The improvements were also made according to An Guogong’s methods.

Now, I haven’t figured out what practical use this steam engine has.

An Guogong’s few words pointed out this point at once!

Factories, mines!

These two places that require most manpower also require steam engines!

As long as the original machine is connected to the steam engine, it can be successfully operated without requiring so much manpower.

Just one or two people who keep adding water and coal will be fine.

In addition, Duke An Guo suddenly thought of the carriage again!

Is it conceivable for ordinary people

to install a steam engine on a carriage ?

If he had been left to think about it on his own, he might not have thought that a steam engine could have such a use in a year or two!

Duke An Guo is a genius!
