Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Only then did Zhu Youjian understand why Wang Zheng said that his boat could only carry two people!

Not to mention two people, even a big fat man could push the boat into the water!

Because of its deep draft, the originally small boat looked even smaller among the piles of sand boats.

If it weren't for the dark boiler in the middle, it towered over the ship.

I'm afraid if you have bad eyesight, you might think this is an open space!

The two brothers Wang Yongchun carefully boarded the boat, pulled out a bag of charcoal, and put it into the boiler.

Although the two men were very careful in their movements, the boat was swaying, and the side of the boat almost touched the water.

This little guy doesn't have the majesty and domineering power of a steamship at all...

Although the scene in front of him was very funny, the corners of Zhu Youjian's mouth could not be closed.

My great cause in China will begin from now on!

"Your Majesty, wait a moment. Although this thing works well, it takes a long time to warm up..."

Wang Zheng smiled honestly, his face full of embarrassment.

Zhu Youjian patted Wang Zheng on the shoulder:

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, I believe in the Qing family."

Looking at the slowly rising smoke and the white water vapor that was slightly emitted around the boiler due to the loose seal, Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing.

Even though this thing is small, it has all the disadvantages of steam engines!

The common problem of slow startup has been inherited by this little thing!

While the boiler was boiling, Zhu Youjian asked:

"Wang Qing, how did you come up with this thing?"

Wang Zheng waved his hands hurriedly:

"Your Majesty, this is not the first time I have made this.

Does your majesty know that Wu Jin, Tang Shun and Tang Xiangwen Gong? "

"Tang Shunzhi?"

Zhu Youjian thought for a while and suddenly slapped his forehead:

"But that Tang Shunzhi who fought against the Japanese?"

Tang Shunzhi was a native of Wujin, Jiangsu Province (Changzhou), and was an anti-Japanese hero in the Jiajing Dynasty. Chongzhen gave him a posthumous title of "Xiangwen."

If Qi Jiguang was invincible on land, Tang Shunzhi was invincible on land and at sea.

Tang Shunzhi debuted in dozens of fights without losing a single one.

Oh, right!

Tang Shunzhi was Qi Jiguang's master.

Tang Shunzhi's military formation was improved by Qi Jiguang and became the famous Yuanyang Formation!

Not only was Qi Jiguang's master, Tang Shunzhi was the chief coach of the anti-Japanese army and the chief strategist of the anti-Japanese army.

(Unfortunately, under the operation of traitors who acted after being paid, it is difficult for Tang Shunzhi’s deeds to be seen on paper. In fact, they were gradually obliterated.

Brothers, raise your hands. Several of you have heard of Tang Shunzhi. )

"Your Majesty is knowledgeable and has a strong memory, and I admire him."

Wang Zheng smiled and said:

"It's this man!"

Zhu Youjian thought for a while: "Gong Xiangwen is indeed a strange man of his generation. He is not only a military master, but also a literary master and a master of mathematics... He can be called the No. 1 in the country since Wang Yangming."

"But does this fire motive have anything to do with Tang Shunzhi?"

Wang Zheng explained:

"In the 38th year of Jiajing (1559), Duke Xiangwen of the Tang Dynasty compiled "Tang Jingchuan Compilation and Wubian". This book was published all over the world in the 46th year of Wanli (1618)."

"Uncle Chen is also a member of the officialdom and once served as a prefecture official. He loves machinery and has read the "Tang Jingchuan Compilation and Martial Arts"."

Wang Zheng scratched his head honestly:

"Although I have not seen the military chariot built by Duke Xiangwen of the Tang Dynasty, I have not read the "Tang Jingchuan Compilation of Military Affairs" before I built the fire ship and left."

The arrogance unique to men in science and engineering is vividly displayed in Wang Zheng.

He straightened his clothes, bowed to the southeast, and then explained:

"However, the fact that I was able to build a fire ship is a legacy of Duke Xiangwen of the Tang Dynasty. I was able to create these machines only after I obtained Duke Xiangwen's ideas from my uncle!"

“At that time, Duke Xiangwen of the Tang Dynasty got inspiration from the writings of sages from past dynasties.

He gained experience from water drains, blowers, Zhang Sui's water-stimulated bronze wheel rotation method in the Tang Dynasty, Su Song's and Han Gonglian's water transport ceremonial platform in the Song Dynasty...

Then each took advantage of their strengths and created a fire engine.

Duke Xiangwen put this thing on the ship and sailed across the sea from then on! "

Zhu Youjian sighed, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He is not a fool.

Let’s tidy up the timeline a little:

In 38, the 1559th year of Jiajing reign, Tang Shunzhi wrote a book describing ships using steam engines as power.

Wang Zheng also created various machines powered by steam engines again in the 44th year of Wanli, at least 1616 years ago.

Then, here comes the point!

In 11, the 1672th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, Nan Huairen presented a steam locomotive that he said was invented in Europe to Emperor Kangxi.

However - in Europe, in 1679, French physicist Denis Pabon created the first working model of the Western steam engine after observing steam escaping from a pressure cooker.

Dare to ask:

How was it that Nan Huairen was able to take out a steam engine model that was only available in Europe and make it into a real object 7 years in advance and dedicated it to Kangxi?

Ask again:

Before the Mongolian cavalry traveled across Europe, Europe lived in the era of city-state slavery. Not to mention steam engines, there were not even water drains and bellows, the prerequisites of steam engines.

How did Europe suddenly appear with a large number of epoch-making technologies when there was almost nothing?

No wonder Europe can rise, this is a time shuttle!

The most interesting thing is that according to Western records, "the world's first steam engine was built by the ancient Greek mathematician Hero of Alexandria."

According to the research of Dr. Cheng Bibo, the name of Nan Huairen's Belgian home country, Ferdinand Verbiest, translated into French with an accent, is Alexandria Hiero.

Matteo Ricci's Latin name is Euclid!

They are all awesome people from the so-called ancient Greece!

Interesting!

Wang Zha!

In Tang Shunzhi's "Tang Jingchuan Compilation of Military Affairs", there are not only records of steam engines, but also the earliest use of mine warfare, and even special ships with mines hanging on the bow and relying on contact explosions to damage enemy ships.

……

The boiler is boiling.

Zhu Youjian declined the offer of his personal guards to conduct experiments on his behalf, and boarded the boat with Wang Zheng.

The boat swayed leisurely, and the side of the boat almost touched the water.

Wang Zheng smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, please sit still."

After speaking, he casually moved an operating handle next to the boiler.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

High-pressure steam was released, and a white heat wave filled the bow of the ship.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

The connecting rod swings back and forth quickly, driving the paddle wheels on both sides of the hull.

(A paddle wheel is a wheel-shaped paddle suspended from both sides of the ship, half in the water and half in the air. A necessity for early steam engines.)

"Wow hoo hoo!"

The water stirred up by the oars fell on the bow of the boat.

The boat is like an arrow leaving the string, or like a ship with full sails on a windy day.

With a "swish" sound, he rushed out.

Zhu Youjian turned around and saw a white trail on the green water of the Han River.

Wang Zheng walked to the stern of the ship, held the oar used to change the direction, and stood next to Zhu Youjian.

Wang Zha 2,

……………… (not counting the number of words)

There are several short poems written in this book to describe things. Please read them carefully.

Zhizhoulong

The five dragons are lying on their backs, crawling on the mud with their claws, and turning their backs to reveal the cones of the bridle. It is difficult for the thieves' boat to move forward and make plans, lest they fall off and touch the divine thunder.

A woman riding a boat

A woman sits deeper on a small boat, no need for a paddle or a hood. If you can cross the river in a hurry, you will spray out your anger and the offender will be fierce.

A gift from the gardener

The spring breeze brings several boats from afar, and I stock up on peonies to keep them in place, but I hate the gardener who picks them privately and gives them to him as acquaintances.
