The Three Kingdoms

"The minister came here in humble submission, so the two lovers don't need to be polite!"

Wearing an ordinary brocade robe, Sun Quan strode in with strides like shooting stars, helped the two of them up himself, then his narrow eyes inadvertently skipped their faces and bodies, and sized them up gently.

Liu Hong, an old man in his sixties.

He is the most famous mathematician in this era. He is young and intelligent. He is well-versed in six arts. He is academically profound. He is especially proficient in astronomy and calendar. calendar.

In mathematics, he is even more accomplished, writing nine chapters on arithmetic.

If Sun Quan's abacus is plagiarized, then he is the real ancestor of abacus and created the history of abacus.

When the Ministry of Engineering was established, the Ministry of Industry was looking for talented people from all over the world. Liu Ye went to Taishan County in person and invited him out with the sincerity of visiting the thatched cottage to be one of the leaders of the Academy of Engineering.

And Ma Jun, a man from Fufeng, entered the official career in his early years and entered the Ministry of Industry. With his extraordinary ability, he modified the silk weaving machine and the keel waterwheel used for irrigation. He has a genius-like imagination in machinery. You are the right servant of the Ministry of Industry.

[Chapter 590 of the text: Cross-era development II]

Outside Jinling City.

The No. [-] research base of the Ministry of Engineering.

This huge research base has clusters of buildings, covering an area of ​​more than one hundred acres, and is built between a river bank and interlaced mountains. The place is very secretive, with only front and rear entrances, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are three hundred troops stationed here all year round. , unless thousands of troops are sent, it is possible to win this small fortress.

This is the rule set by Sun Quan at the beginning.

He has a deeper defense against the secrecy of scientific research.

In the entire base, there is actually only one research project, but the entire research project is too important to Sun Quan, so Sun Quan is willing to pay any price.

The entire base is like a small village, not only hundreds of research engineers, but also their families, there are at least 1000 people living in it.

The core part of the base is located between a mountain stream.

After entering the base, Sun Quan left his own soldiers and dead soldiers outside the base. Under the leadership of Liu Hong and Ma Jun, he led a group of ministers who came in subdued manners into this mysterious mountain stream.

The entire mountain stream is very spacious. The stone walls of the two peaks on the left and right are tens of feet high. Some are being studied, here and there, too numerous to count.

And the entire research center is just a huge object in the mountain stream.

"Your Majesty, this is the steam engine that we have spent ten years researching!"

Liu Hong strode up, pointed at the giant object, and said in a deep voice.

He looked at the whole giant object with soft eyes, as if he was looking at his own child, which they spent countless efforts to research, and it was their child to them: "During these years, because of the research, we I have already killed seven research engineers on the job, spent countless money, and went through countless hardships to research it. I have lived up to your majesty's trust and the court's hope. I can turn to your majesty. Already!"

"Steam engine?"

Sun Quan's gaze seemed to be frozen at this moment, his pair of clear green eyes sparkled with excitement, he took two steps, and carefully looked at the joint research crystallization and research results of the entire Great Wu inventor , feeling a little overjoyed.

The steam engine, that is a starting point leading the development of the times...

In the future history, why the land of Huaxia will be repeatedly invaded by Western powers and humiliated by them again and again is simply because the development of the land of China lags behind that of the West.

China is one of the four ancient countries on the earth. Whether it is economy, system, or invention, it has always been at the forefront of the world. From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang and Song Dynasties, they are all pioneers in the development of the world. The four great inventions of the Chinese people are enough to illustrate that China Human intelligence is no worse than anyone else.

But in the future history, Huaxia will still become the sick man of East Asia bullied by Western powers at will in just a few hundred years.

Since when did the development of China lag behind?

It should be in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries...

At that time, it was precisely because of the research of the steam engine that Westerners ushered in a new era.

Because of the emergence of the steam engine, the Industrial Revolution, the lifeline of the development of the entire West, was promoted, and it also made small countries in the West move towards the road of world powers and became world giants.

And the self-proclaimed China is completely unable to keep up with the pace of Western inventions, and it has also been reduced from a great country to a diseased country with countless people who can be bullied.

Westerners are very good at using the wisdom of Easterners. A lot of research they have done is based on the ideas passed down in China. The inventions of Easterners have allowed them to develop weapons that can do long-range and high damage. The Orientals, who were complacent about the glory of the dynasty, lost their pride.

"This is the so-called steam engine!"

"This thing is really so miraculous that it can be activated by itself!"

"Your Majesty doesn't even care about military expenses every year, but has never cut off the Ministry of Industry's funding, just to study this thing!"

"What's the use of this weird-looking thing?"

Several ministers who followed Sun Quan to the south saw the fiery and excited eyes on Sun Quan's face, and suddenly became very curious about this thing that was not very interesting at first.

"Who can give me a detailed introduction to the parts and power of this steam engine!"

After Sun Quan walked around the steam engine, the more he looked at it, the more excited he became. However, as a layman, he still has some self-knowledge and needs someone to give him a detailed introduction.

"I am happy to serve you!"

Ma Jun came out quickly and began to introduce Sun Quan to the west of this huge object: "Your Majesty, look, this part is a separate condenser. It took a month to improve successfully!"

"Who is Zhang Su!"

"The subject is Zhang Su, and I pay my respects to Your Majesty!" A tall and thin young man stepped out of the sequence of base engineers.

"You have done a good job, please rest assured that the imperial court will never forget your contributions, and rewarding you for your merits this time is inevitable!" Sun Quan patted him on the shoulder encouragingly.

"I don't dare to take credit for it. This is all my ideas for a collection of patterns. After a total of 170 eight precise improvements, it is considered to be somewhat effective!"

"Humility is a virtue, but you don't have to be too much about it!"

Sun Quan smiled.

"Your Majesty, this is a planetary gear...

"Your Majesty, this is the place where coal is burned, and it is also the place to provide energy for the steam engine. We use coal to drive the real machine..."

"Your Majesty, this is a damper..."

"..."

Ma Jun clarified that it was Sun Quan, and spoke very carefully.

Sun Quan was at the side, looking at this steam engine, and listening very carefully. Although he didn't know some of the manufacturing process, he was still very grateful to these engineers for their hard work day and night, and they worked out the real thing that made Wu develop into the forefront of the world. Best chance.

"Sure enough, it's a steam engine!"

Sun Quan's smile didn't know to be excitement, but Ah Shi felt a little chilly.

He has traveled to this world for many years, and this generation is the first time he has such an unspeakable excitement for this world.

"Start it!" Sun Quan checked and gave the order
