Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Zhao Ji was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, my heart began to become active.

Is it possible that Shen Kuo has perfected all the defects in the cylinder of the steam engine?

If that's the case, that's really good news for me:

"Pass him in."

As soon as the door to the study room opened, Shen Kuo walked in from the door with excitement on his face.

In his arms, he was holding a black iron lump.

After hurriedly saluting Zhao Ji, he presented the object to Zhao Ji's desk:

"Officials, please take a look."

"Wei Chen and his subordinates have perfected all the defects of this object."

"I wonder if the officials are still satisfied with this thing?"

After Zhao Ji gave Shen Kuo a satisfied look, he locked his eyes firmly on the cylinder.

Although its appearance is still as dark as before, its inner wall is much smoother than before.

Not only that, even the tiny bubbles that were there before have disappeared on this cylinder.

In this way, this cylinder is simply perfect for Zhao Ji.

Just when Zhao Ji wanted to ask Shen Kuo to formulate a standardized process and adopt a batch model to produce more than ten units.

Then Shen Kuo said this rather helplessly:

"Officials, don't look at the craftsmanship of this thing, but if you want to make multiples in a row, it will be extremely difficult."

Zhao Ji was stunned.

The fire in my heart was as cold as a basin of cold water poured on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Shen Kuo hurriedly explained:

"Officials, it's not because we in the Ministry of Industry are lazy in our work. In fact, if this thing wants to meet the technical requirements, it can only rely on manual labor at this stage."

“Some details even require multiple craftsmen to use their tools to polish them bit by bit.”

"Even though this thing can be made with so much effort, if it is produced in batches..."

"The speed must be extremely slow."

"if……"

When Zhao Ji heard Shen Kuo's first few words, he almost gave up on his tank dream.

After all, the production speed is so slow. How can it be enough when the two armies face off in the future?

But Shen Kuo's last words of "what if" gave Zhao Ji the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

Zhao Ji suddenly widened his eyes, and his tone became extremely urgent:

"if?"

"What if?"

"Shen Aiqing doesn't have to have any scruples in her heart. You can speak frankly to me about all matters."

After Shen Kuo sorted out the words he was about to say in his heart, he slowly said:

"Guardian, if you can give us some more construction suggestions and manufacturing tips from the Ministry of Industry in this regard, we may be able to build it faster."

Zhao Ji looked bitter.

Let me give you some building suggestions and manufacturing tips?

Are you kidding me? I don't understand the construction details, I just understand some simple principles of steam engines.

How can those things be given?

The more Zhao Ji thought about it, the deeper his frown deepened.

I don't know if there was too little charcoal fire tonight or something else, but Zhao Ji felt a little chilly at this moment.

Just when he wanted to call Eunuch Sheng over and ask him to send people to add more to the room.

Those eyes were immediately fixed on the charcoal brazier in the distance.

When the heat source is placed on the ground, although it can absorb heat, most of the heat will always be dissipated into the air.

What if the heat source is placed under the people in the room?

When Zhao Ji thought of this, his eyes moved to his feet unconsciously.

Let the heat dissipate from the bottom up, isn't that...

Geothermal?

That's right, this is it!

I can completely assign people from the Ministry of Industry to concentrate the heat energy of the water underground, and then penetrate it to the ground through a large number of cooling fins.

In this way, not only the ground is warmed, but the heat rising into the air will also increase the temperature of the entire house.

This will completely improve the heating problem in winter.

OK, this is it!

Moreover, while making the above-mentioned heating equipment, more components such as steam engine cylinders can also be used.

It is used to store water, provide pressure, etc., so that the water flow can spread throughout the pipeline.

In this way, not only can the effect of geothermal energy be maximized, but the experience of the Ministry of Engineering in manufacturing components such as steam engine cylinders can also be greatly improved.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

When Zhao Ji told Shen Kuo everything he was thinking.

The word "geothermal" couldn't help but create an uproar in Shen Kuode's mind.

In this way, the two people talked and supplemented each other.

In a short time, Shen Kuo drew up the overall concept of geothermal energy.

In the past, the Ministry of Industry team led by Shen Kuo had been busy running around for Gen Yue.

Although the scenery on the surface was incomparable, Shen Kuo always felt empty in his heart.

Because based on his temperament, these are the things he least wants to do.

If only he could really research some practical items that could benefit the people.

Then he will definitely be more positive and happy than now.

At this moment, what Zhao Ji asked Shen Kuo to make happened to be what he had in mind.

So after Shen Kuo received this task, he was extremely happy.

After bidding farewell to Zhao Ji in a hurry, he hurriedly returned to the official office.

More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

During this time, Zhao Ji occasionally went to plant flowers.

One is to tease that gentle beauty.

As for the second one, he wanted to get some information about Lin Chong and others from Zhong Sijin.

But what disappointed him was that, as if the teasing Zhong Sijin was a bit harsh, that girl didn't even go to see her sister in the past few days.

This couldn't help but make Zhao Ji feel a little disappointed.

In addition, Liu Xiangning's place is also a place Zhao Ji often visits.

Every time, in addition to your sweet words, necessary in-depth communication is also inevitable.

After a period of 'tempering', the girl's shyness when interacting with Zhao Ji has also reduced a lot.

Occasionally, he would flirt back a few times.

This can't help but make Zhao Ji feel more excited.

……

Early that morning, after having breakfast, Zhao Ji planned to go to the queen's place.

First, he wanted to see if the silver taels promised to him by the queen had arrived. After all, the victims in the northeast were still waiting for the silver taels to survive.

The second is that he wants to deepen his relationship with that charming lady.

After all, Liu Tanxin, in addition to being a queen, is also the daughter of a super wealthy businessman in the Jiangnan area.

If he can coax her to be happy and obedient to him in the future, it will also be of great benefit to him in purging the court and conquering the world.

But Zhao Ji had just finished cleaning up and was about to let Eunuch Sheng lead him to Kunning Palace.

Xia Lan, Liu Tanxin's personal maid, twisted her slender waist and came here gracefully.
