The Counterattack of the Villains in the Movie World

Chapter 183 Great Inventor
The time has come to May of 1854.

The Ming Kingdom, with a land area of ​​more than 3 square kilometers, did not develop its military strength aggressively, and then started a new round of war.

Before Wu Yan traveled to the world of "Swordsman", the Ming Dynasty had already settled down for six months.

After Wu Yan came back, Daming Kingdom was still in a state of quiet development for the outside world.

It doesn't work if you don't develop, and wars cost money.

The previously demanded 'ransom' of 1000 million taels of silver was actually a drop in the bucket for Daming whose land area already exceeded [-] square kilometers.

Even after the disarmament, the military salary that needs to be paid out every month exceeds 40 taels of silver. A lot of money.

Coupled with the establishment of training institutions such as the Daming Academy of Sciences, it is also necessary to provide food, lodging and even wages for those students, as well as the initial establishment of the court, which also requires a large amount of salary expenditure every month.

If it weren't for the current taxation and the lijin support collected from foreign businessmen, then the previous six months would have been able to drain the entire treasury of Daming.

As for why Wu Yan fought so ruthlessly with the powers of various countries before, and demanded a ransom of tens of millions of taels of silver, businessmen from various countries still come to do business...

It can only be said that in the eyes of businessmen from various countries, those who lose money from Daming must also earn back from Daming.

Doing business while fighting a war is really normal between countries, not to mention the fact that the fighting between the Great Ming and the big powers has ceased now.

Lack of money is also one of the reasons why Wu Yan refused to let Ning Zhongze go to assassinate the enemy leader. If he killed someone, he might make a wedding dress for others.

Some people will directly succeed to the throne, and some people will rise up. When the Ming Empire has no power to defend the city after the victory, rash actions will only lead to chaos.

Assassination will be useful only if the army can suppress the situation and there are enough manpower to manage it after the victory.

"So, I'm going to be a scientist?"

Wu Yan used the Zola character card.

Food is the most important thing for the people, so Wu Yan first looked at agriculture.

"In 1828, German chemists synthesized urea artificially for the first time."

"In 1838, the British produced the world's first chemical fertilizer."

"In 1850, the British invented the earliest nitrogen fertilizer."

"In 1909, German talents solved the technical problems of large-scale production of nitrogen fertilizer..."

Browsing some materials in Zola's memory, Wu Yan still decided to study the issue of making chemical fertilizers first. Compared with the technical environment required to study miscellaneous rice, chemical fertilizers are much simpler.

According to relevant statistics, among various measures to increase agricultural production, the role of chemical fertilizers accounts for 30%, which is a very large numerical ratio.

Wu Yan now has too many people who can help him farm. Only a small number of those Hunan soldiers who were laid off before chose to return to their hometowns, and the rest, except those who entered the factory, became military camps.

The Tuntian system is not new in the land of China, and it does not need to be mentioned.

With so many people farming and reclaiming wasteland, the land occupied by Wu Yan has always been known as a land of fish and rice. If the production is increased by 30%, there is no need to worry about the problem of food and grass.

In the Daming Academy of Sciences, Wu Yan led a technical research team and began to study the chemical fertilizer he named 'Jinkela'.

In essence, it is actually a nitrogen fertilizer made of urea. For a long time, this fertilizer has been the largest chemical fertilizer produced and used in the world.

And the research process is actually very simple, nothing more than Wu Yan said one, two, three, four, five, and the people in the technical research team followed the steps he said to realize it step by step.

"It would be nice to have an intelligent robot."

Wu Yan very much hopes that when he travels next time, he can go to a modern world, a sci-fi world is better, even in a world without robots, he can still create an intelligent robot.

When the time comes to bring the robot back to this world, he won't need to do these scientific research work.

"Looking at it this way, Ningzhong seems to be useless. Although he has become younger and more beautiful, with the Yijinxieshu chapter taught by me, the speed of martial arts progress is also very fast, and he can constantly reconcile with my yin and yang. Help me practice the Nine Suns Divine Art... but it can't solve any essential problems."

Wu Yan felt a little regretful, but it was just a thought. In the last world, apart from Ning Zhongze, there was really no one worthy of him to bring back.

And the fragments of the gate of the world, if not used, expire and become invalid.

It can be regarded as better than nothing.

It took half a month for Wu Yan to lead the team to successfully produce 'Jinkela', and also completed the industrial program design for mass production.

He doesn't need to worry about the rest of the matter, just wait for the Jinkela to be made, and the area under his rule will have a high chance of a bumper harvest of grain.

The reason why it is said that there is a high probability rather than [-]% is because farming requires the help of water conservancy projects and is also very dependent on the weather.

Increasing food income is very important, not only can it help the current Ming Dynasty, but it will also be a great help when Wu Yan defeats the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing court, and uses the entire Chinese land as the foundation to compete with the world's great powers.

"If I say it works, then it must work."

Although Jin Kela has researched it, some people who are very familiar with farming have doubts because of the limitations of the times.

At this time, Wu Yan showed his authoritarian side without any hesitation.

"Before you have no evidence that it is useless, don't question any decision I made, and don't contradict me. Just because I call myself myself in front of you doesn't mean that you can stop treating me as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. You don't have to call me Your Majesty."

Wu Yan's words made all doubts disappear instantly.

After all, he was a Emperor Wu who had killed thousands of people with his own hands, so he still had some majesty.

This is also the benefit of the feudal era. If it comes to the modern era, there will definitely be many people who bite the bullet to question and obstruct them. Because of the limitations of the times and knowledge level, I am using my life to hold back.

As for agricultural matters, Wu Yan also studied Jinkela. As for water conservancy projects, he can't make effective improvements for the time being, and can only build according to the existing technical level.

"Industry is the top priority."

Wu Yan, who had been at the Daming Academy of Sciences for half a month, did not leave after completing Jinkela, he was about to start the next scientific research.

Before the last crossing, the Ming Kingdom had stabilized for six months, and Wu Yan also made some preparations during that time.

And now, those preparations are about to come into play.

Wu Yan's first industrial research project was a steam engine.

Although the West is about to enter the second industrial revolution at this time, the steam engine, the main force that drove the first industrial revolution, has been used in the western world for hundreds of years, and many countries have it.But it is very ridiculous that, let alone the steam engine, let alone the steam car invented in the West 40 years ago, even the miner's lamp that has been used in the West for more than 30 years, the Ming Empire did not have it.

Although Wu Yan knows how to make petroleum engines, it is very difficult to extract petroleum from crude oil, let alone other chemical raw materials, before the overall industrial level is sufficient.

The steam engine can not only help Wu Yan develop industry, but also increase the output of Jinkela.

Another technical research team, under the personal guidance of Wu Yan, strictly followed the relevant steps, knowing what happened without knowing why, and built the first domestic steam engine in the real sense of the Ming Dynasty, and also the first in the history of China. A domestic steam engine.

Those who participated in this project at this time did not know that they had already created history, and together with the 'greatest inventor in history' Daming Wudi Zhao Wuji, they would be written into the history of the Ming Dynasty, and even the history of the world.

They are simply stunned by the power of the machine.

In the eyes of modern people, the steam engine is very backward, but in fact, this thing will still be the most important prime mover in the world at the beginning of the next century, and what Wu Yan manufactures is the most advanced in the world, and it can even be said to be the most advanced The steam engine can be used for 50 years.

The principle is very simple, that is to use combustible materials such as wood, coal, oil, natural gas, etc. to boil water to generate high-pressure steam, and push the piston to do work.

At this time, there is no oil, and natural gas is difficult to use, so it mainly relies on coal with higher combustion efficiency.

In a courtyard of the Daming Academy of Sciences, a metal object with a very strange shape in the eyes of everyone in the audience has been activated.

Someone next to it kept filling coal into it to ensure that the water in the boiler kept boiling and transformed into high-pressure steam.

A round metal connected to the outside of this steam engine looks like the wheel of a carriage. Under the action of high-pressure steam and mechanical transmission, it is spinning crazily at a speed that is almost invisible to the naked eye.

"Your Majesty, if you put this wheel on the carriage, no, I mean, put this steam... steam engine on the carriage." Hua Tong, the president of the Daming Academy of Sciences, said in a somewhat shrill voice: "Then Wouldn't it be possible for a carriage to run fast without the need for a horse to pull it?"

Wu Yan cast a glance at Hua. This man had successfully passed away from the palace a month ago. After a month of recovery, there were also good medicines and the help of "Sunflower Treasure". Ordinary people are no different.

As far as the difference between him and himself, so far it is only a change in voice and a bit feminine temperament, which has not yet reached the level of becoming a woman.

"In theory, it is true, but the wheel can turn so fast because it has no serious resistance."

Wu Yan replied.

"resistance?"

The people from the technical research team next to them expressed their confusion about a new vocabulary that came out of their Majesty's mouth, but they all memorized it by heart.

"Yes, resistance."

After Wu Yan gave a rough explanation, he didn't say any more, not because he cherished himself with his broom, but because these people couldn't understand if he said too much.

Then Wu Yan said: "With this thing, some workshops that need water power don't need to be built near streams or rivers, and water wheels can be gradually eliminated. Whether it is pumping water or the mechanical kinetic energy that water wheels can provide, steam engines can be better. provided."

For a long time, waterwheels have been an important tool for human beings to obtain "strength". In the farming era, apart from waterwheels, there were only human and animal power.

This has led to the inability of the industry to develop.

The steam engine can not only provide more 'power', but also can ignore the terrain restrictions.

"There are also boats." Wu Yan said: "The iron-clad warships of the western barbarians all use this kind of machine as power. Compared with sails and human paddling, they are far ahead of us. This is why our This is one of the reasons why the barbarians in the west can't be defeated in naval battles. Huatong, you arrange some shipbuilding masters to find a way to install the steam engine on the ship for me. As long as the experiment is successful, we will start manufacturing our iron-clad warships."

For things like shipbuilding, the Ming Empire still had a lot of capable people. After all, it was along the coast. After Wu Yan solved the core problem of the steam engine, he didn't need to worry about the rest.

"The steel factory should also use this steam engine as soon as possible, use the mechanical power to crush the ore, and make a conveyor belt to transport the ore, which can save a lot of manpower and time."

Wu Yan arranged another sentence.

"Your Majesty, what is a conveyor belt?"

The people from the Ministry of Industry next to me were very puzzled.

Wu Yan sighed, and said, "Do you think this wheel is spinning all the time? Then, if two wheels with a certain distance are spinning at the same time, and then you tie a piece of cloth between the two wheels, is the cloth Will it continue to rotate along with it? And when the cloth rotates, will the ores placed on the cloth also move with it?"

The people from the Ministry of Industry couldn't comprehend the picture of the conveyor belt, and said in a daze: "But your majesty, this wheel is really too small. Even if you build two and wrap cloth around the wheels, they can't bear the iron ore. weight."

"Won't you fucking make the steam engine bigger and the wheels wider?"

Wu Yan couldn't help but lose his temper.

Even if he has a Zola character card and has countless scientific and technological knowledge ahead of this era and modern times, it is impossible for him to build a spaceship by himself.

"I, the emperor, have to teach you everything, or even do it yourself. You tell me, am I an emperor, or a craftsman in the Ministry of Industry?"

As soon as Wu Yan lost his temper, he fell to his knees with a crash, everyone shouted in horror that they deserved to die, but no one really wanted to die.

I'm so tired.

Wu Yan sighed, and said, "Get up for me, Huatong, have all the carriage builders arrived?"

Hua Tong got up from the ground and said: "The words to return to His Majesty have already arrived."

Wu Yan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take them to build cars."
