Otherworldly Castle Era
Vol 4 Chapter 16: Steam technology
"For ministers, see you!" In the Yeezheng Hall, since receiving Yang Song's emergency meeting to the present, almost all the important officials of Xia Kingdom have arrived.
Liu Ji, the military division of the monarch, Li Jing, the deputy director of the Military Department, Xun Yu, the director of the administrative department, Sun Sheng, the deputy director of the administrative department...even Li Bao, the navy commander, came.
"All officials are free!" Yang Song walked through the ceremony and immediately said: "This time we are summoning you to convene an emergency meeting for nothing else, but for the country that is about to usher in a great change. I would like to say hello to everyone in advance, so we can make full preparations. "
"Your Majesty, I don't know what made this country usher in a great change? What kind of great change is the great change?" As a monarch military adviser, Liu Ji immediately asked the many ministers in the palace questions.
Yang Song stretched out his hand to face Liu Ji and pressed a button to show that he doesn't need to worry. He looked at Shen Kuo from the Academy of Science and Technology and asked: "Cunzhong (Shen Kuo's word), how is the steam engine research done?"
"Enlighten you! The research on the steam engine has progressed, but it will take some time for the steam engine to be fully practical." Shen Kuo stood up, frowned and arched his hands in reply.
"That's it!" Yang Song wanted to ask whether the mature steam engine technology rewarded by the system has hidden rewards, for example, what caused researchers to suddenly learn something.
This kind of thing is very likely to happen based on the performance of the system, but after such a question, Yang Song did not find the hidden reward he expected, and he was still a bit disappointed.
Yang Song pondered for a moment, and then said: "The library has two new floors with information on steam engines. You can check it out. You should be able to break through the technology of steam engines immediately."
"Really?" Shen Kuo was surprised when he heard Yang Song's words, and then reacted: "That's it, it's really great!"
Looking at his hand-wrapping excitement, if it weren't for a court meeting, it is estimated that Shen Kuo would have gone to the library by now.
"Well, that's it!" Yang Song nodded and confirmed to the ministers: "This great change is brought about by this steam engine. In the process of saving, you can tell everyone about the role of this steam engine."
"Yes, Lord!" Shen Kuo first said yes to Yang Song, then turned to look around and said: "Everyone, the role of a steam engine can be thought of only in the next, such as using it for mining, steelmaking, For spinning and weaving, the output is estimated to increase several times at least!"
Shen Kuo has been studying steam engines for so long, and he still has a lot of experience in its application, but he hasn't really seen a practical steam engine, and Shen Kuo's estimate is very conservative.
"It's right." Yang Song affirmed Shen Kuo's opinion. Although it is not very accurate, Yang Song does not know the specific number.
"But not only for these purposes, it can also be used in traffic." Yang Song added: "With this machine, you don't need horses, you only need fuel, and the vehicle can quickly run on the road."
"Furthermore, when it comes to battleships, there is no need to consider the seasons and directions. As long as there is fuel, the ship can sail quickly on the water at any time, which is much more convenient and quicker than relying on sails." When this sentence was said, Yang Song looked at Li Bao, obviously speaking to him.
In fact, Yang Song doesn't understand the specific details of this technology, but he knows how great this technology has changed the society. It can be described as a qualitative change in society as a whole.
Just like primitive society versus agricultural society, there is a clear gap between agricultural society and industrial society.
After Shen Kuo and Yang Song said that, everyone present, like Liu Ji and Li Jing, had quickly understood and reflected on it.
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, then a huge change will really take place in this country!" Liu Ji solemnly handed over to Yang Song: "The minister suggested that the country should make a detailed and prudent plan for this machine. "
"Well, for the use of the steam engine, Gu has already made a detailed plan. You can take this plan back, Bowen, and take a look at it, and then you can give your opinion at the next meeting."
"The minister obeys!" After Liu Ji took the order, he accepted the plan sent by Jin Yiwei, and solemnly placed it on the table in front of him.
After listening to the dialogue between Yang Song and Liu Ji, Li Jing asked: "My lord, I wonder what changes this steam engine will have in military use?"
Regarding Li Jing’s question, Yang Song thought about it very much before saying: “The most direct change is that after the steam train is repaired, it will only take eleven hours from Apocalypse City to Shanhaiguan.”
This is not only for the military, but also for the people's livelihood. As long as the railway "Tianqi City-Tianqi Pass-Shanhaiguan" is opened, whether it is for military mobilization or commercial development, it will have a huge effect.
When I heard Yang Song's words, whether it was Li Jing or Liu Ji, Xun Yu or Chen Ping, they were all shocked. Only then did they have a clear understanding of this machine that made them attach great importance to it.
The land distance from Apocalypse City to Shanhaiguan is about 700 kilometers. Based on the speed of the steam train at 60 kilometers per hour, it used to take about 20 days and now it only takes 11 hours. This number really scares everyone. Arrived.
As for the changes in weaponry and equipment, it’s not so obvious, but it’s the development of guns and a large number of artillery equipment, which are all reflected in the production technology. If it is not for Xia Guo’s technology, it has an obvious bias and does not use a steam engine. Equipment can be owned as well.
"Your Majesty, this is a very important machine. It is used well, and it is more powerful than artillery!" When Li Jing heard that it would take only eleven hours to reach Shanhaiguan from Apocalypse City, he immediately suggested: "The minister recommends vigorously. The development and use of this steam engine ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Chen agrees!" Xun Yu also followed the suggestion: "As long as you have the steam train vehicles mentioned by the Lord, the control of the Linhai Basin and the rule further away will also More solid." After Xun Yu heard about the role of the train, the first thing he thought of was the issue of governance.
"Enlighten you!" Li Bao also stood up and clasped his fists: "Chen suggested building a warship powered by a steam engine."
Although Li Bao doesn't know how to operate a warship powered by a steam engine, as long as he has the advantage of not having to worry about the direction of the seasonal wind, he can already take a lot of risks.
Successive ministers suggested the use of steam engines in their respective fields, and even Chen Ping, an intelligence officer, required the use of steam engines.
Yang Song saw that the ministers all knew the meaning of the birth of the steam engine, and solemnly said: "Today, I am holding an emergency meeting just to tell you that Xia Guo's future must be clear in my mind!"
"The ministers, please follow the emperor's order!" All the ministers said in unison.
After discussing the changes in various industries and the corresponding development issues brought about by this machine for a while, Yang Song let the ministers disperse, leaving only Shen Kuo and Liu Ji.
Yang Song personally took these two people to the library next to the monarch’s mansion. He wanted to know for the first time what information this new two-story library contains!
