Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

Entering the camp, Zhu Chongba told the little official to keep quiet, and he and the prince Zhu Biao quietly approached the Dabo people who were gathering together, wanting to see what they were doing.

Because at this moment Duke Xu Jin and Shangshu Wang Zheng of the Ministry of Industry were all praising a steel giant.

"It's moving, it's really moving!"

"It just needs to boil water, and it can actually move."

"This is a lump of steel weighing several thousand kilograms!"

"Auspicious, this is the auspiciousness since the founding of my Sun Moon Dynasty!"

All the onlookers expressed their praises, which aroused Zhu Chongba's curiosity.

Isn't it just a steel mechanism that emits white smoke, so it doesn't need to be so boastful?Moreover, both the Duke of the State and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry seemed to have never seen the world.

Ever since he became emperor, Zhu Chongba has opened his eyes.

When I was a farmer, a beggar, and marched and fought, I had seen all those strange things that I hadn't seen before.

"Is there something that our emperor has never seen?"

Zhu Chongba reached the edge of the crowd, stood on tiptoe and looked in.

Prince Zhu Biao did the same, standing on tiptoe.

When the full picture of the steam engine was shown in their eyes, they finally understood why even a prince of the state would call it auspicious.

The cylinder of the steam engine is constantly reciprocating, driving the gear, and the gear drives the connecting rod.

The other end of the connecting rod drives a sledgehammer that reciprocates up and down.

Zhao Zheng, who Zhu Chongba was thinking about, was holding a knife embryo under the sledgehammer and beating it repeatedly.

"This sledgehammer lifted by a steam engine weighs [-] catties. Not only is it faster to forge a blade with it, but even an apprentice, like me, can forge a peerless weapon!"

Zhao Zheng is explaining the power of this steam engine to Xu Jin of Guogong at the moment.

Xu Jin couldn't bear it, really couldn't bear it.

"Let me try it!"

As a soldier, he knows the importance of a weapon best, and he also knows how much effort those craftsmen need to spend to create a good knife.

He took the knife embryo in Zhao Zheng's hand and forged it himself.

Compared with Zhao Zheng, he is much more professional.

In a short while, the knife embryo becomes a formed blade, only need to open the front, and then temper, this is a formed war knife.

"Good knife, haha, the steam engine is really competitive!"

Xu Jin looked at the semi-finished knife in his hand, and couldn't put it down.

"With this steam engine, why worry about my Sun Moon Dynasty's armor being disadvantaged!"

"It's just that this steam engine is really good for breaking blades, fast! But if you can only beat steel, with the current steel stock of our Sun Moon Dynasty, it is difficult to supply the entire army of the Sun Moon Dynasty!"

Soon, Xu Jin also thought of the shortcomings.

At the edge of the crowd, Zhu Chongba also thought of this and agreed.

But Zhao Zheng smiled slightly and gave other solutions.

"Machine is dead, but we are alive."

"Just like us humans, our limbs are driven by our torso."

"The steam engine can not only add a sledgehammer for him to swing, but also add other parts to change hands and feet for him."

With that said, Zhao Zheng signaled the craftsman next to him to take out other accessories that he had made before.

"With this steam engine, it can be used for weaving cloth, pumping water, and even for large-scale construction."

"It can replace a lot of manpower, even more than manpower can."

After the craftsman replaced the loom parts, as the cylinder of the steam engine moved up and down, a piece of cloth was woven at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The bosses at the scene were also dumbfounded.

"This thing can be knitted faster than girls!"

Zhu Chongba finally couldn't bear it anymore, and squeezed in front of the people.

What do the people of the Sun Moon Dynasty need most?

Nothing more than three aspects, food, clothing, and housing.

With the restrictions of road guides and the household registration system, transportation is not an issue of people's livelihood at all at this time, but an issue of the army.

But now, a steam engine seems to be able to solve most of the problems.

"See Your Majesty!"

"See the prince!"

All the people at the scene noticed that the emperor and the crown prince were actually there, and hurriedly knelt down to pay respects.

Zhu Chongba didn't care so much now, he just waved to everyone and quickly helped Zhao Zheng up.

"Tell us, what is the use of this steam engine?"

Just the use of these steam engines that Zhao Zheng has said has already made him feel excited.

So at this moment, he had to figure out how much change the invention of the steam engine would bring to the Sun Moon Dynasty.

"Regardless of people's livelihood or military affairs, steam engines can almost be involved now."

"For example, the edge-wrapping technology used by our Sun Moon Dynasty to build weapons can only be used by changing a wrapping edge part."

The modular structure was proposed by Zhao Zheng for the first time in this world.

The eyes of everyone at the scene lit up, they really hadn't thought about it.

It turns out that something made of a pile of steel can be equivalent to a human heart, and they can match this heart with the limbs they need.

Inexplicably, a word flashed in everyone's mind at the scene, Liberation!

liberation!

Doesn't this mean that machines can replace humans?

People's lives will be saved that day!

Although the country has been established now, the aftermath of the war has not dissipated.

People in many state capitals have been displaced and have not yet settled down, and the population is also in an extremely low category.

What does the world need most?

People are needed, manpower is needed.

People are needed everywhere, but people are lacking everywhere.

Now that the steam engine has appeared, how much manpower can be saved?

And what can the spare manpower be used for, making little people!

Isn't it just around the corner that the Sun Moon Dynasty will start its prosperous age!

"In addition, the steam engine has a very powerful effect."

Just as everyone at the scene was looking at the magnificent future of the Sun Moon Dynasty, Zhao Zheng spoke again.

"What is it!"

At this moment, Zhu Chongba felt that his aura was getting heavier.

He couldn't help being excited. He never thought that Zhao Zheng would surprise him so much. The appearance of a small steam engine could bring so many benefits to the Sun Moon Dynasty.

He wants to give Zhao Zheng the title of Marquis!

No, such a feat can be done as a duke of the state!

"The current steam engine is actually just the first machine, and it needs to be improved in the future, and the power can even be increased, that is, it will be made bigger."

"At that time, more complex mechanical components can be replaced."

"For example, one of the most critical items, the mechanical printing press!"

In feudal dynasties, the wisdom of the people has not been developed, so the aristocratic family can dominate, and the hegemony of the aristocratic family will inevitably limit the wisdom of the people.

The people, the family, the emperor.

These three parties check and balance each other and shackle each other.

Zhao Zheng just wanted to break this deadlock.

Improving productivity and opening up people's wisdom is the ultimate goal of his research on the steam engine.

"Mechanical printing!"

Although the prince Zhu Biao is usually busy, the current emperor Zhu Chongba is in his prime, and he has not yet become the executive deputy emperor in the true sense in the next few years.

So I still have time to learn about other things.

Regaining the advantages of the former Song Dynasty is also one of them.

"Can the steam engine still make printed components?"

Zhao Zheng nodded.

"Existing printing technologies are nothing more than woodblock printing and movable type printing."
