The happy life of a prodigal

When Fang Xiu heard the words "Mechanical Academy", he immediately became interested, looked at the boy, and asked.

The boy thought for a while and replied, "It seems to be... It seems to be some kind of steam engine."

In such a short period of time, the steam engine has been improved again?

That's right, I've already pointed it out like this, if these guys can't improve the steam engine, it can only be said that their talent is too poor!

Might as well let them go back to grow sweet potatoes!

Fang Xiu thought so, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Tell him, I know, so I will go and have a look."

Next to it, it was the first time that the British Duke had seen Fang Xiu be so interested in a thing.

Therefore, I was also interested, and asked, "The steam engine...what kind of chicken? Let the old man take a look, how about it?"

Fang Xiu glanced at him, thought for a while, waved his hands and said, "It's up to you."

After speaking, he turned and left the yard.

Hearing this, the British Duke stood where he was and struggled for a moment, but finally he couldn't hold back his inner curiosity and followed.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of Fang Mansion, he saw a young man dressed as a scholar standing at the door with an anxious expression on his face.

Fang Xiu walked up and said, "Are you a student of Mechanical Academy?"

Hearing the voice, the scholar turned his head to look at Fang Xiu, then saluted hastily, and said, "It's a student."

"Has the steam engine improved?"

Fang Xiu didn't beat around the bush, and asked very straightforwardly.

The scholar nodded hastily again: "Yes, Dean Xu, Ms. Zhu'er and all the senior brothers and sisters have tried to improve the steam engine. Now the steam engine can continue to work, and its effect is far beyond that of the students. imagine.

It is precisely because of this that Dean Xu asked the students to come over immediately and report this matter to you, Dean. "

"Improvement? Keep working?"

The British public next to him heard the conversation between the two, and his expression became a little strange.

I don't know what he was thinking.

Fang Xiu didn't pay attention to him at all. After hearing the news that the steam engine had been improved, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "It's improved, very good, very good! I'm going to have a look!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and called a carriage, and walked up.

The British Duke also followed up cheekily.

On the way, I couldn't help asking curiously: "Nephew, what kind of chicken is this steam engine? What's the point of continuing to work?"

When Fang Xiu heard this, he was slightly taken aback, glanced at him, and said leisurely: "This steam engine is also called a perpetual motion machine, and it is a kind of ancient mythical beast. As long as you feed it some water, it can generate energy continuously.

This energy can do many things, even move thousands of people, from Kyoto Prefecture to Yaskawa Prefecture! "

"This......"

When the British public heard this, they took it seriously, and they were all stupid.

He knew that Fang Xiu's words were never aimless.

However, at this moment, he was still full of doubts.

Ancient beasts?

Just need to feed a little water to generate energy continuously?

If this kind of chicken really exists in this world, why have I never heard of it before?

After hearing Fang Xiu's words, the British Duke became even more curious.

The carriage was walking on the newly built official road, and soon arrived in front of the Mechanical Academy.

Fang Xiu got off the carriage, and the British Duke followed behind him, but he didn't show off.

At the door, Xu Ze had already been waiting for a long time. When he saw Fang Xiu, he hurriedly went up to meet him.

With a happy expression on his face, he said loudly: "Duke, it's a good luck not to disgrace your life!"

Chapter 922 On the Carriage

Fang Xiu nodded at Xu Ze, with a smile on his face, and asked, "How is the steam engine improved?"

Xu Ze hurriedly said: "It's ready to work!"

What this says...

It seems a little ambiguous.

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said, "Go, have a look!"

"Yes, Prince!"

Xu Ze hurriedly led the way ahead.

Fang Xiu followed behind and arrived in front of the steam engine after a while.

Xu Ze winked.

Immediately, a student stepped forward and began to add coal to the stove of the steam engine.

In an instant, the steam engine began to run at full speed, making a burst of noise.

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

He stared blankly at what happened in front of him, almost speechless in shock.

"This...what is this? Why can it move by itself?"

He is so old, he has fought in the South and the North for half his life, what hasn't he seen?

But I have never seen such a thing before. Just add water and firewood, and the thing will swing up and down.

Although it is simple, the British Duke understands it.

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

Besides, there must be other uses!

It's just that, for a while, he couldn't remember it.

Fang Xiu's expression became a little weird when he heard what the British lord said.

What the British public said was not wrong.

only......

Why does it sound so strange.

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

Hearing this, the British Duke glanced at Fang Xiu, feeling a little speechless, but he didn't bother with him.

Instead, he looked at Xu Ze beside him, and asked, "If you want this thing to work, you only need to add water and coal?"

Although Xu Ze didn't know the Duke of England, he knew that he must be a prince and aristocrat, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and replied: "To be precise, we only need to add water and coal to provide heat, firewood and the like are also acceptable. "

Hearing this, the British Duke gasped as if he had thought of something.

Turning around, looking at Fang Xiu, scolding: "You little bastard, the old man knew that you had no good intentions before!

When you were nothing, you were mercenary, even a pro-military reviewer could earn tens of thousands of taels of silver, and you would spend a lot of money to buy a coal mine that was steadily losing money?

It turned out that I was waiting for the old man here!

Fortunately, the old man is smart, otherwise I would have been fooled by you! "

Although the Duke of England is a martial artist, he has seen a lot and has a wide horizon.

Good things, of course, can be seen at a glance.

He just saw the way the steam engine worked, and he understood.

This thing will definitely be popular in Dachu!

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

This steam opportunity will change the whole Dachu, and even change the whole world!

In the past, this kind of thing that can run automatically just by adding some water only existed in some fairy tales.

Now it actually appeared in reality, which is really unbelievable!

The British prince looked at the steam engine in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Fang Xiu looked at the steam engine, but his face showed joy, and he said, "That's right, it looks quite like that."

"Thanks to the Duke's respect."

Xu Ze said with a smile, when he said this, his face was also full of pride.

Obviously, this steam engine made him very satisfied.

Fang Xiu was also very satisfied, and continued: "I'll find out if there are any defects in this thing, and make a good modification. After the modification, I will find a way to mass-produce it. After mass production, I will send it to the major coal mines. Then send it to Wuxiu Cloth Village.

This thing is not allowed to be sold to anyone without my permission, do you understand? "

Xu Ze hurriedly said: "Yes, Duke!"

Fang Xiu nodded and walked around the steam engine, feeling more and more happy the more he looked at it.

Unexpectedly, the people under him could actually fiddle 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 taken aback when he heard this question.

Immediately, the eyes sparkled with light.

Yup!

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

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

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

Horses still need food and rest.

I am afraid that there are not a few hours in a day that can be used.

However, this steam engine is completely different.

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

No need to rest!

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

As long as the steam engine is built bigger.

Or if the steam engine is studied more precisely, the power generated is far better than that of a horse!

In this way, more people can be brought in.

And goods!

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

Coupled with these rubber wheels, it is not a fantasy that the steam engine drives the 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: "Duke, you, you are simply a genius! No Wenqu star in the sky is as knowledgeable or creative as you agile!"

He was just a little carpenter at first, and he still has some skills in studying the principles of machinery.

Let him flatter, I really can't hold back any words.

These words didn't sound like a big deal, but to Xu Ze, it was extremely difficult.

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

Although these words sounded flattering, he really thought so in his heart.

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

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