Daqin: Signing in at the beginning is ten times the combat power of Lu Bu

Chapter 423 Shocking technological power

After Ying Yu's words fell, not to mention the Confucianists, even the people watching were stunned.

What His Royal Highness said just now seems to mean that the steam engine was actually developed in Daqin?

How can this be?

"This is impossible!"

"It must be fake!"

Kong Xun had a look of disbelief: "Unless His Royal Highness can make that steam engine appear in front of us, I will never believe it!"

Many people in the audience nodded their heads.

Even many officials are no exception.

The reason for this is that the description of the steam engine in the "Daqin Daily" some time ago was too amazing.

"Facts speak louder than words. Whether it is true or not, you will know soon!"

Ying Yu smiled lightly.

The reason why he wanted to hold this seemingly boring debate competition was to discredit Confucianism as a side effect. The real purpose was to strengthen the people's attention to the steam engine and to see the energy of industrial technology.

And the scientific researchers of the Academy of Engineering lived up to Ying Yu's high expectations. After repeated experiments failed, they finally achieved certain results.

Although there is still a certain distance from Ying Yu's expectations, there is no problem in showing it out.

It happened that Ying Zheng and the others were also there, so Ying Yu simply asked someone to transport the latest scientific research results over for public display.

Anyway, the principle of this thing seems simple, but there are too many things involved in real manufacturing, and I am not afraid of being learned by other countries.

Soon, under the shocking eyes of countless people, an extremely huge machine was escorted to the square of the Royal Academy by a sixteen-wheeled oversized carriage and hundreds of heavily armed cavalry.

After consulting Ying Yu, the researchers of the Academy of Engineering directly opened the curtain covering it.

"This is a steam engine, why does it look a bit stupid?"

"Although it's big, it's too ugly, right?"

"If it's dark but not autumnal, it's like the bottom of a pot!"

"Ugly refuse!"

"There are obvious traces of various beatings on it, and the workmanship is really poor."

"Just this thing, can it really move?"

A group of people who eat melons started talking.

"This thing is a steam engine? Is it as amazing as your kid said before?"

Ying Zheng also got out from the crowd, looked around the steam engine, and hesitated in front of Ying Yu.

The officials also dressed in plain clothes nodded one after another.

Although Lao Qin advocated the virtue of water and respected black, this one is too unsightly, right?

All the researchers of the Academy of Engineering lowered their heads in shame.

For the convenience of testing, the steam engine of the Academy of Engineering is indeed hand-cast. According to the results of each test, it has been improved many times, so it seems that there are indeed countless patches, ugly ones are fine.

The shape of the steam engine described by Ying Yu is really very different.

"You guys have done a pretty good job."

"This steam engine represents the power of machinery, and power is the beauty of industry!"

Ying Yu smiled and comforted his subordinates.

Being able to manufacture a steam engine in Daqin, this group of people is already amazing enough.

"Father, this steam engine is just a test product, so it only pursues performance and does not pay attention to appearance. It will change greatly after it is officially finalized."

Ying Yu turned her head and explained to Ying Zheng with a smile.

"You mean the steam engine is ready to use now?"

Ying Zheng suddenly became interested.

"Of course, Gongshujie, light the fire."

Ying Yu waved his hand indifferently and gave orders.

"promise!"

A group of scientific researchers breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off the cold sweat from their foreheads, and began to prepare carefully.

The surrounding officials and the onlookers also looked forward to it.

Is this really a steam engine?

And it seemed, as if, it could actually move?

After the group of people came back to their senses, they quickly opened their eyes, for fear of missing it.

Even Ying Zheng didn't care about his image. Like an old urchin, he surrounded the steam engine and watched the researchers inject water into the boiler and add special coke powder to the combustion chamber below to prepare for ignition.

"How long will this be ready?"

Nesten, who was in a hurry, asked everyone what was on their minds.

"Don't you go to the scientific research institute most often? How come you don't know that before this device works, it needs to be debugged first?"

"Also, didn't you still oppose the development of steam engines in the court a few days ago?"

Suddenly weak and angry.

"I'm just afraid of wasting money, and it's not that I really don't like this steam engine!"

Nesten had no choice but to defend himself, but was greeted with bursts of laughter.

"The steam engine is powered by the steam after the water boils, and it works after the water boils."

Ying Yu smiled and explained to Ying Zheng who was also looking forward to it.

At this time, the water in the boiler gradually boiled.

With more and more white steam, the huge connecting rod also began to move slowly.

The sound of "rumbling" directly stunned the emperor and ministers of the Qin Dynasty who had seen the steam engine for the first time, as well as hundreds of thousands of people.

"It's moving, it's really moving!"

Nei Shiteng completely ignored the other people's teasing, and jumped three feet high, excitedly.

The eyes of Ying Zheng and the officials were also focused on the steam engine.

All the people watching were also holding their breath.

Kong Xun and other Confucianists were even more like goose-headed geese at the moment, standing in place with their mouths open.

On the square of the Royal Academy, the steam engine, which was originally dark and disliked by countless people, has gradually begun to show its energy after the boiler is pressurized.

Amidst the rumbling roar, the connecting rod on the boiler was running faster and faster, turning into a series of afterimages.

And through the connection between the connecting rod and the gear, the impeller installed on the side has already rotated at a flying speed, forming a super large fan with a diameter of more than one foot.

The blown wind directly swept up the fallen leaves on the ground, as well as some lighter items such as paper, like a small storm.

Nesten and the others nearby felt their whole bodies shaking at this moment.

In desperation, he had to retreat again and again, avoiding the direction of the direct wind.

On the huge square, the crowded crowd was blown out a wind path hundreds of meters long.

Everyone, as if struck by a thunderbolt, could not describe the shock in their hearts at all.

"Is this a steam engine? It's amazing!"

"It's the first time it's running, it actually has such a majesty of heaven and earth, it's really terrifying!"

"This seems to be more exaggerated than what is depicted in the newspaper!"

"You can see that the blade is completely invisible. If it is replaced by a wheel, wouldn't it be able to fly so fast?"

"I see who dares to say that this steam engine is not good?"

"This way of technology is too amazing!"
