I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 38 Yuan Chonghuan, how do you want to die?
There was a long cry of 'Woo'.

The first steam turbine in the Ming Dynasty was launched, and after a dazzling and complicated operation, it finally started slowly, like a wild donkey running wildly on the green brick square outside the Meridian Gate.

Zhu Youjian finally didn't grab it, the first time for a steam turbine...

He is the emperor, who dares to let him drive a newly developed 'steam turbine'?If something goes wrong and a few ribs are broken, will the 300 people in the Ministry of Industry survive?
The person driving the steam turbine was a student of Daming Academy, Song Yingxing's direct disciple Chen Xin'er.

He was driving the turbine nervously, wandering around the square outside the Meridian Gate for about a stick of incense, and then stopped with a bang.

All the civil and military officials at the scene were shocked by this white iron and wood 'monster' in front of them.

"What is this thing that can run without being pulled by a cow or a horse?"

"Is it made by the people from the Ministry of Industry? It's a thing of strange and obscene skills, it's not interesting."

"Hmph, isn't it just a steam turbine? My son can make it upside down, isn't it just a large white iron water tank, add a pickaxe pipe, drive the windmill to rotate and drive several sets of gears..."

……

For a while, the ministers talked a lot, but no one dared to make a loud noise.

Because, this thing is under the guidance of Lord Longevity himself, and then jointly developed by the Ministry of Industry and Daming Academy. Calling this steam turbine a "extraordinary obscenity technique" will offend Lord Longevity?

Standing on the dragon chariot, Zhu Youjian quietly looked at the steam turbine developed by Song Yingxing, lost in thought.

From the current point of view, this so-called 'steam turbine' is not a real 'steam engine' at all, it is at most a 'steam power combination machine'.

The idiot emperor roughly understands that the reason why it cannot be called a 'steam engine' is mainly because the craftsmanship of this machine is too low during the manufacturing process, because the precision is not enough, so the utilization rate of steam kinetic energy is too high. Low.

How can the boiler, jet equipment, and power transmission system cooperate closely to make full use of more steam energy and generate a strong driving force?

Zhu Youjian was thinking, and Song Yingxing, who was standing not far away, was thinking.

Another Ming scientist, Xu Guangqi, was also thinking.

Then, at the same time, everyone looked at Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor.

"This steam turbine is a great invention of our Ming Dynasty, comparable to the four great inventions in history, papermaking, compass, gunpowder and movable type printing!"

Zhu Youjian pondered a few times, and said loudly: "However, because this thing has just been invented and created, there are still many problems, and it can't really be called a steam engine.

I have a suggestion that I hope will be useful to Song Aiqing, Xu Aiqing and the students of Daming Academy.

That is, can you design several extremely precise lathes first, and then process the various parts used in the machine on these lathes?
Such a lathe can be divided into several parts, but they all use a uniform size standard. Only in this way can we ensure that there is no difference in the parts produced, which should greatly improve the precision of the steam engine. "

The idiot emperor Zhu Youjian's knowledge of industrial production is still limited to that of his first girlfriend.

That girlfriend from back then can be regarded as a standard lathe girl...cough, an expert in lathe numerical control, with a few clicks on the computer, she can manufacture all kinds of extremely precise parts as she likes.

"Lathes? What's new?"

The officials were once again in a daze, and were a little speechless towards the newly enthroned idiot emperor. You said that you didn't study hard, studied the ways of the sages and wise kings of the past, and spent your day thinking wildly. Isn't this a disaster for the country and the people?

However, because the famine crisis in the north has just been lifted, Zhu Youjian's prestige has basically been established, and there are not a few hard-headed ministers who have come forward to speak out.

"Song Aiqing, for a good craftsman, the first consideration is applicability, so a set of extremely precise lathes will bring unexpected benefits to your manufacturing."

Zhu Youjian looked at Song Yingxing who was not far away, and continued with a smile: "This is probably similar to the principle that books have the same text and cars have the same track. I only have a general idea about this. As for how to implement it, I still have to rely on Song Aiqing." , Xu Aiqing, you great scientists.

I have only one role, and that is to help you find ways to make money and create various conditions. "

Qian Qianyi, Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing and others knelt down on the ground, thanking them endlessly.

Wei Zhongxian stood beside the idiot emperor, but secretly cried out in his heart.

The emperor wants to earn money, and the final dirty work is done by him, a treacherous minister...

"By the way, I also promised that if Song Yingxing manufactures a steam turbine, I will make him the king of science."

"I will never break my promise, here, I will seal..."

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

Zhu Youjian was about to proclaim the decree on the spot to confer Song Yingxing the "King of Science", but unexpectedly, a minister came out and interrupted the emperor's words.

Zhu Youjian's face darkened, and he looked down, only to see a middle-aged civil servant with a short stature and a thin appearance, looking at the emperor on the dragon chariot with piercing eyes, and said calmly and firmly: "Your Majesty, such a child's play Rewarding a prince is contrary to the legacy of the great ancestor!"

As soon as this person spoke, several people among the officials came out of the class and stood silently behind this person.

Although he didn't speak, his attitude was very clear.

The ministers looked at Zhu Youjian gloatingly, and then at the few ministers who made admonitions. The atmosphere at the scene seemed very depressing and weird.

Zhu Youjian's face slowly turned cold.

"Yuan Aiqing's words are accusing me of violating the precepts of the ancestors?" The idiot emperor asked in a deep voice, "You mean to say that my title of prince of Ming Dynasty is too cheap? You can give it to a juren casually, but Isn't it you Jinshi and important officials in the court?"

These few words, Zhu Youjian said lightly, but anyone can hear the meaning, that is, the emperor is going to make trouble.

Song Yingxing was born as a juren, and went to Beijing to take the exam five times, but failed to pass the Jinshi exam for various reasons. Therefore, being favored and used by the emperor this time, he was already despised by the officials.

This Yuan Chonghuan, who was appointed as the first principal of the 'Daming Academy', was already filled with anger, but now the 'vice principal' Song Yingxing, who only had a Juren degree, wanted to ask for help because of an 'extraordinary skill'. Feng Wang...

Tolerable or unbearable!
The most important thing that the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty lacked was the courage to scold the emperor. Even in the Tianqi Dynasty, the eunuch party had power and dictatorship, cutting off the heads of many scholars, and the cultural context of the Ming Dynasty was seriously damaged.

But he, Yuan Chonghuan, really didn't believe it. He was loyal and made great military exploits. How dare you, an idiot emperor, dare to cut off my head?
Zhu Youjian looked Yuan Chonghuan up and down, sighed suddenly, and said with a smile: "Sure enough...very loyal and brave.

Yuan Chonghuan, how do you want to die? "
