Iron Dynasty

London, Tulip Palace.

This is the palace where Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom lives and works. In the early morning, Prime Minister Murphy arrived here early.

Ms. Millie, please tell the Queen that the guests from the Great Yu Kingdom have arrived, and now the councilors are waiting for her. When the palace housekeeper appeared, Murphy couldn't wait to say, because in his opinion, this matter was very important.

Without waiting for Millie to speak, a graceful woman in full dress came out of the room at this time. She was Queen Victoria who had inherited the throne at the age of sixteen.

Viscount Murphy, I haven't forgotten this important thing, let's go, let's see what the scientific level of the Great Yu Kingdom is like?

Victoria Mia has pure golden hair, a white face like winter snow, and red lips like fire. Every time Murphy sees her, she can't help but be ecstatic.

Yes, Your Majesty. Murphy retracted his eyes. He now has a family, otherwise he would have no doubt that he would submit to this beautiful Queen's skirt, just like many young nobles in London now.

The white dome carriage belonging to the Queen had stopped in front of the castle gate. Murphy got on the horse and followed the Queen's car to the House of Lords on Benjamin Street, where the British royal family, nobles and MPs were waiting for them.

Viscount Murphy, are all the scholars belonging to France really dead? Entering the clean bluestone streets of London, Victoria remembered the news she had just received.

The UK is too far away from the Great Yu Kingdom. When she learned about this, it had been more than half a year.

I can't be sure. It's hard to believe what the French say. After all, our relationship is not harmonious at all. Murphy frowned.

After the French Revolution, French capital merchants ruled the country. They used the steam engine technology stolen from Britain. The French industry developed rapidly and the national power became stronger day by day.

For the United Kingdom, this is definitely not good news. Therefore, friction between the two countries continues. During this time, the French intervention in the North American war has brought the two countries to a freezing point. If it is not because they have common interests in Asia, they will will not choose to cooperate.

So, it's really bad news that the scholar from the Great Yu Kingdom might be alive. Victoria lifted her chin and looked at the black smoke column outside London, which was produced by factories using steam engines.

After concealing it for seven or eight years, the steam engine is no longer a secret to Europe, especially since the Dutch bought a reciprocating steam engine from the Great Yu Kingdom, which made their hard-kept secret technology cheap.

So in order to earn the residual value of the steam engine, the House of Representatives decisively decided to sell the steam engine to other European countries. Anyway, they can get it from the Great Yu Kingdom sooner or later.

Under the threat from the Great Yu Kingdom, those who originally opposed the use of steam engines also shut up, because for the first time in the world Europe has encountered a real enemy, and this country is already using steam engines to build an industrial country.

So how can the noble Anglo-Saxons lose to the natives of Asia, who have a more solid industrial base, more talents, and a more open academic atmosphere.

Therefore, in this atmosphere, the use of steam engines is unimpeded, and factories with black smoke columns appear in every city in the UK, and their production of industrial products is also increasing day by day.

The only regret is that they found that this was not enough, because the Dutch people's experience in Da Yu country really surprised them.

When passing the Thames, Murphy looked at the bustling streets. Today's Britain is as vibrant as the sun at the beginning of the day. Everyone in the UK will be confident in the future until they encounter setbacks in Asia.

This is indeed a very helpless thing, but at least we got living scholars. Murphy laughed.

While the two were talking, they arrived at the House of Lords.

At this time, the British royal family, nobles and parliamentarians had already settled, and in the middle of the House of Lords stood two people from the Great Yu country. At this time, a dozen or so famous British scientists were surrounding them to ask something.

Your Majesty, today is a good day.

An older, gray-haired nobleman stood up, the Duke of Paston, now foreign secretary.

It's a good day indeed. Victoria smiled as she took her place. After years of fighting with the Conservatives, she now holds real power in Britain through the Liberal Party.

The Duke of Paston was her uncle, and he held an important position in the Liberal Party, and she had always held him in high regard.

Your Majesty, a month ago we figured out Dayu's cannonballs and rifles. I have to say that their design is amazing. Just a change in the shape of the bullets makes the firearms more powerful, and this kind of cannonballs is even more powerful. It's exquisite.

After Paston, a middle-aged man stood up. He came from the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and it was they who were responsible for cracking the technology from the Great Yu Kingdom.

Baron Cordia, I think bullets are one problem, but rifling is another. Murphy shrugged. Cordia has a high status in British academia. The scientist, who is known as an all-rounder, designed a Series machinery.

Of course, it was difficult before, but with the steam engine, rifling is no longer an issue, and I think we should replace the old flintlock guns, Cordia said.

We can't be left behind by France and the Netherlands. It is said that the Netherlands has purchased a large number of muskets from the Great Yu Kingdom. What we should be most ashamed of is that the battleships of the Great Yu Kingdom arrived in Europe in the name of escort. Returning in a grand manner, shouldn't the ocean be the backyard of our Royal Navy? Victoria looked serious.

He looked at Kodia, I'm afraid we have fallen behind the Great Yu Kingdom in science and technology, but now we still have a chance to catch up. It all depends on you, for the benefit of the British Empire.

For the benefit of the empire. Everyone said in unison.

Now they face an obvious problem, that is, an eastern power is rising, and the most fatal thing is that they have the ability to sail to Europe.

Victoria nodded slightly, she looked at the two traitors of the Great Yu Kingdom in front of her and said: As long as you can teach us the technology, I am willing to give you titles, castles and manors in the name of the Queen of England, you The more changes you bring to the UK, the more you will get.

Thank you, Her Majesty. The students, one tall and one short, said gratefully. For their own benefit, they betrayed their own country, saw the prosperity and strength of Britain, and gradually left them with shame. Now they are eager to integrate into this new country.

For them, the price of betrayal was enough.
