Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

Finally, with everyone's concerted efforts, the steam engine was built.

Almost the front and rear feet, the steam car entrusted to the factory has also been built.

Therefore, whether they have been researching the steam engine or started a new project with a new acquaintance in the middle, everyone stopped what they were doing, picked a time, installed the steam engine on the car body, and prepared to work together. Watch the moment when the miracle is born.

Since the person who proposed the original version of the steam engine theory has been hanging for many years, and this time it is mainly based on the improved theory of Miss Watt and her grandfather, everyone agreed to let Miss Watt be the first to sit on this cumbersome-looking car. steam car.

Lucifer had some black lines. He quietly asked the alarm clock to scan it for him. After confirming that there was really no problem and that it would not explode halfway, he didn't say anything.

Although it is very prestigious to be the first person to ride a steam car, how many people in history have tried their own new inventions and disabled themselves or even died unfortunately...

However, maybe because everyone wanted a good start, this time it was a collective crystallization. Each of them checked the design drawings many times and changed them. There is really no problem in terms of safety.

Probably at most it is a bit bumpy, and the novice is not easy to control on the road...

Miss Watt carefully got on the steam car on the broad street, and then tried to turn on the steam engine according to the usage plan they had discussed.

The fuel is charcoal. After the steam engine is started, it makes a lot of noise, and the exposed steam engine starts to smoke... But everyone doesn't care about this now, they just stare closely at the precision machinery connected to the shell of the steam engine. Look, watching the connecting rod turn the wheel with the piston-piston movement of the steam engine.

This steam-powered car started to drive on the wide street at a speed almost similar to a human trotting.

Because there was a lot of noise before their steam seminar, the Apple Store in the happy hometown of the people in Eden was closed to thank customers. After hearing that they had made a steam car, many people who were idle were holding Time to come and watch.

At this moment, Miss Watt was sitting on the steam car, holding the steering handle, staring very nervously ahead, because she was afraid that she would drive the car into the crowd of onlookers on both sides of the road.

As the steam car passed through the people divided into two sides like a parade, voices of exclamation and discussion sounded from both sides.

"It's really moving!"

"Yes, no one is shaking any machinery, it's all about the smoking thing down there!"

"That's a steam engine! It's been discussed for so long, haven't you remembered the word?"

"The speed seems to be getting faster and faster..."

"I hope I can make this steam car to go to other places soon."

Miss Watts drove the steam car to the end of the street, turned around with difficulty, and drove back.

No way, this car is driving faster and faster. The bulky steam car occupies most of the road, and both sides of the road are crowded with people. It is a bit dangerous to follow. Friends can only follow behind if they want to observe the situation , As a result, she was out of breath and couldn't keep up after running, so she could only wait for her to come back by herself.

When Miss Watt drove the steam car back to the original place and slammed on the brakes, the whole world seemed to be silent for a second, as if giving people time to pinch themselves to make sure they were not dreaming, and then erupted violently. cheers.

The scientists rushed up, lifted Miss Watt from the steam car, and began throwing her into the air, giving vent to the ecstasy that was throbbing in their hearts.

"It worked!!! We made it!!!"

"Steam engine! Steam engine!"

"Ahhhh God!!"

They tossed Miss Watt up and down two or three times, then kindly released the nervous Miss Watt, and continued the orgy in other ways.

A few people rushed out like a [-]-meter race, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, but ran back in the blink of an eye.

Some people tore off their clothes, knelt on the ground and shouted to the sky.

Some people hugged the person standing next to them tightly, with tears in their eyes.

Even Lucifer, who was always kept at a distance, was hugged, his head resting on Lucifer's shoulder, crying so hard that he didn't forget to say "thank you".

"I didn't do anything." Lucifer was actually very happy in his heart. He patiently patted the other person on the back, trying to calm him down, "This is the crystallization of your wisdom."

"But, but!" cried the man, "if you hadn't offered this opportunity..."

They may not make the steam engine, but continue to maintain the habit of private research, and self-censorship is extremely strict, sealing up all research that may have an impact on society.

But now, the success of the steam engine and the acquiescence of the church means that many researches can be seen again, and even improved according to the steam engine, and put into use with the east wind of the steam engine.

Countless industries and fields will undergo earthquake-like changes due to today's success.

As the great sage said at the beginning of the meeting - a new world is coming.

The carnival didn't last very long, because venting intense emotions is actually quite a labor-intensive job. These people watched the steam engine almost ready, and worked overtime yesterday to make it out. long state.

The body of the steam car was placed at the entrance of the Apple store for other people to watch, and the steam engine was dismantled by scientists and brought back to the store.

"Our thinking is correct! Miss Watt's condenser idea is very useful!" Einstein watched everyone's excited silence, and simply jumped out to make a summary, "Next, we will study in the direction of higher speed. Bar!"

"The connecting rod type is not suitable for tricycles." Da Vinci pondered, "The next step is indeed four-wheel vehicles, and the track of steam trains is also more suitable for four-wheel vehicles."

Miss Watts commented: "I always feel like I'm going to get burned."

"Because this time, for the convenience of observation, it is made open." Babbage said, "If it is a steam train, because it needs to transport goods, and also considers the weather such as rain on the road, it is adopted In the form of a box...at that time, a chimney can be designed to lead to the outside, so that the people inside will not be affected too much."

"The power demand of the steam train is too high, let's make a separate carriage for the boiler..."

"The same is true for the carriages where the coal is placed. Speaking of which, the weight of the coal is not lighter than the horse's grain."

"But with the same weight, of course coal can travel farther and faster, and steam cars are better."

"Let's improve it a bit, I think it's still a bit of a waste of energy."

After everyone summed up, they started to run on the topic of improvement again. If this chat started, it would not stop for a while.

Lucifer had no choice but to step forward and coughed: "Everyone, there is something I want to remind."

Everyone is very grateful to Lucifer now, and when they saw him speak, they all quieted down, waiting to hear the wise man's opinion.

"No, I don't want to talk about improvement." Lucifer shook his head and said, "It is a problem that may be encountered after the steam engine is fully put into use in various fields, but I think it is necessary to raise it now."

Everyone looked at him blankly.

They can only think of how much efficiency can be improved and how much labor force can be reduced after the steam engine is put into use. If they want to think about it, they can only think that some people will lose their jobs...

"It's not about unemployment either."

Well, what's the problem then?

Scientists, who still have some limitations in predicting the future, are even more curious.

Lucifer pointed to the coal in the corner: "Currently the best fuel is coal, and it is only used in a small area. Most families still use firewood...but the consumption is not much, so there is only a problem in winter. It's just a little more obvious..."

When he said this, someone had already guessed what Lucifer wanted to say based on the prompt.

"Is it air pollution?" Tesla asked. "That's definitely the problem."

"Not only air pollution, but also water pollution will be a problem if factories start to use steam engines in the future."

Lucifer said clearly.

"Water pollution also affects the quality of the soil, the growth of plants, every bite of food you put in your mouth, and the survival of animals, and this impact is long-term."

"Look at the sky now, isn't this blue beautiful? Can you imagine that your children can only see a gray sky? As the air quality deteriorates, your lungs will also deteriorate, and of course your lifespan will also be affected. .”

"So, while we may not be able to find better fuels in the short term, and we have to choose to sacrifice the environment for the sake of social progress, I believe this is only a short-term transition."

"If possible, I hope you can take the matter of finding more environmentally friendly and cleaner energy to heart...Look at the blue sky and white clouds, look at the flowers and green trees...What a beautiful picture, it cannot be done just because humans want to To be more convenient and to be destroyed.”

After hearing this speech, everyone was in awe.

As expected of a sage, his eyes are farther than others!

They calmed down from the enthusiasm that was almost overwhelmed by success.

...Yes, although they will not stop improving the steam engine and put the steam engine into use on a large scale, the large-scale use of this kind of energy must only be a transitional stage.

While researching at this stage, they must also take a longer-term view and look for better alternative energy sources.

In the next stage, which direction should their research go?
