The happy life of a prodigal

This... seems somewhat unlikely.

Immediately, the students all showed thinking expressions, quietly thinking about the meaning of the word vacuum.

Obviously, the vacuum here cannot be the so-called vacuum in Taoism...

The teapot, the strength inside and out.

condenser...

The more the students thought about it, the more they frowned.

Because they were surprised to find that their brains, who thought they were very smart, couldn't figure out what it was at this moment.

It's just that they vaguely guessed the meaning of Xin Anhou, which is nothing more than turning the steam into water again. At this time, power will be generated, and then the steam will enter again, and then the steam will turn into water again, and the cycle repeats.

In this case, the efficiency will be improved a lot...

Just what it looks like, they still need to experiment.

These students didn't understand, but Xu Ze seemed to have figured it out.

At this moment, his face was full of joy, he looked at Fang Xiu, and said loudly: "Master Hou, you are really... really a genius!

With your guidance, this steam engine needs to avoid a lot of detours. In fact, what you said is not complicated, and it can even be said to be very simple.

But it is such a simple truth, but it has puzzled us for more than a month, and we have no clue. It is really... ashamed!

Compared with you, Lord Hou, we are really far behind, too much! "

As Xu Ze talked, he wished that Fang Xiu would be in charge of designing and manufacturing the steam engine.

It's just that he knew in his heart that Xin'an Hou has a lot of things to do, and he must be busy on weekdays.

Where is the time to study what kind of steam engine.

What important affairs of the family and country do not require Marquis Xin An to decide!

This idea, can only be an idea...

Seeing that Xu Ze understood what he meant, Fang Xiu had a smile on his face.

In fact, he himself only has a half-knowledge of the principle of improving the operation of the steam engine, and the explanation is even more different.

But since Xu Ze was so excited, he must have been inspired.

No matter how much it can be inspired, it is always a good thing to get a certain amount of inspiration.

Thinking about this, Fang Xiu looked at the steam engine again, and felt that the steam engine might not be well researched in a short time.

It is meaningless to stay here by myself, so I might as well come back later.

So, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master Ben Hou still has some things to deal with, so I won't stay here to accompany you.

The matter of the steam engine is of great importance. It is no exaggeration to say that the development of the steam engine involves the development of the entire imperial court and the entire Great Chu...

You all have heavy burdens on your shoulders, if you need anything, just tell Wang Baole, if Wang Baole refuses to approve, you can find Ben Hou Ye, Ben Hou Ye will beat him...

Well, I won't say much about other things. You are not such pedantic people. I hope you can do well and strive to create a practical steam engine as soon as possible. "

Speaking of this, he smiled again, and then said: "Everyone stay, there is no need to send it off."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Xu Ze and the other students stood where they were, and saluted respectfully: "Send off Lord Hou..."

After Fang Xiu leaves.

Xu Ze didn't stop for a moment, he couldn't wait to tell his students, "What are you still doing? Didn't you hear what Master Hou said?

This steam engine is important!Don't be half-slack, disassemble this steam engine, and let the old man take a look, where is the condenser replaced..."

"This......"

Several students looked at each other when they heard this.

Someone hesitated for a long time, and said: "Dean, we just finished this steam engine, and now we have to dismantle it?"

"Steam engine? What steam engine!"

Xu Ze frowned when he heard the word 'steam engine', and said angrily, "This thing is just a pile of scrap iron. If you don't dismantle it, what's the use of keeping it!?"

When the students heard this, they looked at each other again.

Xin Anhou's words have not yet been confirmed, so it takes a lot of trouble.

What if the vacuum does not exist, and the so-called condenser does not work?

not to mention......

The condenser has not been designed yet, so why disassemble the steam engine first?

Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on my face.

He just nodded and said yes, and went to dismantle the steam engine.

On the other hand, Fang Xiu who came out of Mechanical Academy felt a little happy.

The progress of this steam engine has exceeded his imagination.

Although the steam engine that Xu Ze led to research has no practical significance at present.

However, for now, it has already taken shape.

With just a few tweaks, it could be a really useful steam engine.

At that time, the whole Great Chu, and even the whole world, will be different because of this steam engine.

It can even be said that the whole world will undergo tremendous changes!

Originally, Fang Xiu just wanted to eat and wait to die, and live the life of his playboy in peace and stability, but he never thought that he would actually promote the development of an era.

I really don't know what this big Chu will look like when he gets old.

Maybe, at that time, there will be telephones, electric lights, cars, and ships, and that is not certain.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu actually felt a little excited.

Sometimes life is like a game.

The most boring games are always the ones that are on and off.

Just like him, at the beginning, he thought it would be good if he could earn some money and live a peaceful and carefree life.

Later, I felt that it was good to be crowned king and minister, and to be in charge of the world...

Both goals are close to being achieved.

He felt that life was meaningless again, and every day he just lay in his yard and ate and waited to die, and then listened to the people under him asking for instructions on the things he was responsible for every now and then.

It's boring, it's really boring...

Later, seeing the suffering in the world, what he thought was to let the people in the world have food, clothing, and housing...

This goal, Fang Xiu has been working hard, from the sweet potato to the combination of the ground and then to the Wuxiu Buzhuang later, it is all for this goal.

Now, although it has not been achieved, it still has a prototype. As long as it develops like this, it will always be possible in the future.

Until now, Fang Xiu felt that his life had a new goal.

Let Dachu become the first place in the world to achieve industrialization, set sail, let the whole world know the court of Dachu, and everyone knows that Xin'an is waiting for Fangxiu......

Isn't it interesting?

Fang Xiu thought about it, a smile appeared on his face, and he quickly made a decision.

Dig coal!

Chapter 899 Coal

In order to develop, this road construction is the premise, a necessary condition, and the second...is to have sufficient energy.

In the age of industrialization, the most needed energy, or the easiest energy to obtain is coal!

Whether it is industrial production or smelting, a large amount of coal is required as the most basic raw material.

Therefore, whether or not the steam engine comes out in a short time, this coal is a necessity.

Fang Xiu thought so, and took a carriage to Baolefang.

The road in the south of the city has almost been repaired, and it only takes a moment to go from Mechanical Academy to Baolefang.

When Fangxiu got off the carriage, Wang Baole came up to meet him.

"Welcome, young master!"

Wang Baole bowed and saluted with a respectful attitude.

The people around Fang Xiu also called Fang Xiu in several levels.

The last one is Lord Hou...

Just like everyone else, the most advanced one is the young master.

Only the old people in the Marquis of Xin'an's mansion would call him that, and the servants who came to the letter only dared to call Fang Xiu the Marquis.

Unknowingly, the title of young master has become an honor.

It seems that being able to become the young master of the Marquis has become the dream of everyone in the Marquis of Xin'an.

"Young master, if you have something to do, just give me an order. No matter how busy you are, you will definitely rush back. Why do you come here in person? Although the road has been repaired, there are inevitably some potholes. If it bumps into you, then In my little heart, I'm afraid that I'm going to suffer forever..."

After Bai Xiaochun left, Wang Baole took Bai Xiaochun's place.

In terms of flattery, no one in the entire Kyoto Prefecture can compare with Wang Baole.

After Fang Xiu heard this, although he didn't feel any compliment, he just thought it was a little funny.

He waved his hand and asked very directly: "How is the road repaired?"

Wang Baole was not short of being by Fang Xiu's side.

Knowing that when talking about business, the young master is very serious.

Therefore, he immediately changed his attitude, looked serious, and replied respectfully: "Returning to the young master, [-]% of the roads in the south of the city have been repaired, there are only a few alleys, which are really difficult to construct.

Therefore, it has not been repaired, and other places, as long as they can be driven by horse-drawn carriages, are well repaired.

Some time ago, the little one went to see it in person, and there was no problem.

If we can really pick out some faults, it is that when the asphalt is laid, some sundries may fall on it, leaving some traces.

It doesn't look very beautiful, but there is nothing else.

The roads in other places, the roads in the city have been half repaired, but the roads in the city..."

Speaking of this, he paused, with a strange expression on his face, and said, "You know that there are quite a few honorable men over there. The masters of Wu Xun are fine, and those civil servants, especially the guys from the Ministry of Rites, count as one." , I just don’t want our people to build roads.

The younger one had explained to them over and over again that the road construction was beneficial and harmless, but they kept on saying that the road belonged to them and no one could move without their consent.

Eighty percent of the roads in the east of the city have also been repaired, that is, the road near Kang Wang's Mansion...for the same reason.

In addition, other places, north and west of the city, still haven't started construction because of manpower.

For the time being, this is the only way to fix it.

If the roads in the entire Kyoto Prefecture are repaired, one year at most should be enough..."

Don't look at Wang Baole, who seems to be quite unreliable when he is normal, he only knows how to flatter all day long.

But in fact, it is impossible for anyone to achieve the power of Wang Baole by idling.

They must have their own skills and abilities.

As for the matter of road construction, Fang Xiu just asked casually, and he was able to answer fluently.

It can be seen that he has worked hard on weekdays.

You know, for Baolefang, road construction is just one of many things.

The affairs of the bank alone are enough for Wang Baole to be busy. In addition, there are also subsidies provided to Fangfu shops such as the Beijing Normal University Theater and Zhuxuanzhai, as well as the revenue of various shops.

There are also many mansions in Fangfu. Baolefang is responsible for how much these mansions are worth, when they should be sold, and when they should be bought.

Besides that, there are many, many more.

Therefore, it was really not easy for him to remember many matters related to road construction so clearly.
