Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

The two months she mentioned before was also the fastest speed, non-stop. If measured by foot strength, half a year would be possible.

"Your Majesty, are you kidding me? How can it be possible in seven days, unless you can grow wings like a bird?"

Princess Lolis shook her head like a rattle, and her cute look made Ning Fan laugh.

"Your Highness, please be careful what you say! How can our Emperor, the Kangxi Emperor, talk nonsense? Since he said it, it is true."

The eunuch Li Chunan on the side couldn't bear it anymore and stood up to scold the princess from a foreign country.

In the eyes of old eunuchs like Li Chunan, countries like Dabo are actually barbarians and not worth mentioning.

Even in Li Chunan's eyes, Princess Lolis was not even qualified to have a meal in the palace.

Lolis was frightened when she was scolded fiercely. Indeed, in the past experience, Dakang was superior to Dabo. Dakang has always been a celestial kingdom with extremely rich manpower and material resources. Compared with Dakang, Dabo It's really nothing.

Looking at Princess Lolis who was confused for a moment, Ning Fan quickly stood up to smooth things over. He waved his hand towards Li Chuan, and then quickly said to Princess Lolis: "Don't take it to heart, Princess. I just said They are all true. If you don’t believe it, I can show you the latest model, and you will understand it at a glance.”

Ning Fan waved his hand, and Ergou took out the model that Ning Fan had recently made. The model was a steam engine train with a rail underneath.

This model was not made by Ning Fan himself, but under the guidance of Ning Fan, it was made by the most skillful craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, which took Ning Fan an entire afternoon.

Of course, this model is not for people to play with, but for Ning Fan to give to Shen Mengxi, because this model is almost made according to the proportions in Ning Fan's mind. Shen Mengxi knows what Ning Fan means just by looking at it. What is the principle of laying railways?

Princess Lolis picked up the model and looked at it carefully, with a more puzzled expression on her face because she had no idea what it was.

"This thing above is called a train. As long as you burn coal for it, it will continue to run forward at high speed. It doesn't need manpower to push it or horses to pull it. It can run on its own and very quickly."

"The two tracks below are the rails. If the train runs on these tracks, it will be very flat and smooth, so the speed will be faster."

Ning Fan pointed at the model and explained to Princess Lolis, and Princess Lolis seemed to understand what she heard. Although he didn't know what Ning Fan said, he always felt that what Ning Fan said was It’s a fantasy.

"Your Majesty, can he really run the train you mentioned? And according to what you said, he can run faster than a strong horse without eating grass. Is this true?"

Princess Lolis looked at Ning Fan timidly.

Ning Fan nodded and waved his hand this time. Ergou immediately took out another model. This model was actually the prototype of a steam engine.

As Ergou fiddled with the fuel and added it, the water quickly boiled, and high-temperature and high-pressure steam spurted out from the copper tube to drive the impeller to rotate.

This astonishing scene stunned the surrounding eunuchs, and even Princess Lolis looked at the high-speed rotating blades with surprise and disbelief.

"As long as you keep adding fuel to it, the high-speed steam will keep blowing the wheels, so the car can keep moving forward."

While explaining the principle to Princess Lolis, Ning Fan opened the valve, and the high-temperature and high-pressure steam spurted out again, doubling the speed of the wheel in an instant.

"Actually, the principle of a steam engine is many, many times more complex than this prototype. This requires discussions with top engineers on the design, and then forging it with top-quality materials. Only then can a steam locomotive be produced. This process requires many people. Hard work requires the wisdom of many people.”

"But I am confident that in the next six months, steam locomotives will definitely be able to transport goods quickly to wherever the rails can be laid. By then, will you, the big wave of businessmen, be able to transport goods there quickly?" Don’t you envy this kind of transportation speed?”

Ning Fan simply made it clear.

The words were clearly explained, and the matter was explained clearly. Princess Lolis fell into deep thought. She did not expect that this era would encounter a huge change. Ning Fan's invention of this thing was enough to change the game rules of the entire era. .

"By the way, have you ever seen this princess? Do you know a place where this thing is the most common?"

Ning Fan took out a few pieces of coal.

Lolis just took these pieces of coal in her hands and took a look. Then her expression suddenly changed. She looked at Ning Fan with fear and said, "Don't you know that this thing is poisonous? You can dig it in many places in our country." When this kind of thing burns, it will release a very high temperature, but it will also release poisonous gas, and people who smell it will often die quietly, so the use of this kind of thing is absolutely prohibited in Dabo."

When Ning Fan heard what Princess Lolis said, he couldn't help laughing. Coal will produce carbon monoxide and cause poisoning and death. This was a common sense problem in Ning Fan's time, but it cannot be solved in this day and age. Open puzzle.

"Princess, there is no need to be afraid. Just tell me where this thing is, and I will send people to dig it out in large quantities. This kind of thing will be the most important fuel in the future."

Ning Fan did not hide it from Princess Lolis. After all, although Dabo Country was very wealthy, it had a small territory and a small population, so it did not pose any threat to Dakang.

"In the past few years, our merchants from the Dabo Kingdom have traveled all over the country and have seen a lot of these things. After I go back, I will ask them to draw a drawing and send it to Your Majesty, marking out all the places with this kind of minerals."

Princess Lolis was happy and almost responded to Ning Fan's requests.

And one thing is that the more contact she had with Ning Fan, the more Princess Lolis admired the young emperor. She would look up at Ning Fan from time to time, and the loving look in her eyes could be seen by many people around her. There is a hint.

As soon as Princess Lolis left, someone came to report that Shen Mengxi had been traveling day and night and had just arrived in Kyoto.

When Ning Fan heard the news, he was so panicked that he even forgot to put on his shoes. He jumped out of bed and hurriedly asked people to find Shen Mengxi.
