Chapter 414 is a steam engine, not a 'fighting machine'
"What are you thinking, kid, so engrossed?"
Looking at the absent-minded Ying Yu, Ying Zheng asked immediately.
"My son is wondering when the Daqin Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering will be able to develop a usable steam engine."
Ying Yu replied with a smile.
"A chance to win?"
"Good name, what does it look like?"
"Could it be that this is what you said last time, an aircraft that is more advanced than the shuttle?"
A look of curiosity flashed across Ying Zheng's face.
Although it has been several months since the last time he flew into the sky, Ying Zheng still has a fresh memory of it.
"It's not about fighting for breath, but about the steam that rises when boiling water burns."
"When the water boils, there will be a large amount of white water vapor rising, enough to push the lid off the pot and make a whining sound in the air hole."
"And the steam engine, using the power of this water vapor, can drive large machinery just like water power, and it doesn't need to be restricted by geographical conditions like water power."
"If it can continue to develop and improve, it will be no problem to promote more advanced aircraft to the sky."
Ying Yu explained helplessly.
"Does such a magical machine really exist?"
Ying Zheng asked with some uncertainty.
Today's Emperor Shihuang has seen all kinds of power machinery brought by Ying Yu, typical ones, such as the semi-automatic assembly line for wool processing.
The products that are continuously processed from the assembly line are the symbol of Daqin's far-leading productivity and the source of Daqin's commercial development.
However, such a machine requires a huge amount of energy.
If it weren't for Daqin's many new water conservancy projects, it really wouldn't be able to meet the demand for power.
It's a pity that such hydrological conditions are not available everywhere, and it is also restricted by the dry season, so the expansion of the production line has still been greatly affected.
And if the steam engine that Ying Yu said really has such energy, it is really enough to make Daqin really take off.
Anytime, anywhere, at any time, continuous production can be carried out. The strength of Daqin is unimaginable even by Yingzheng.
If it wasn't for Ying Yu's already created many miracles, if someone else said that, he would be thrown out by Ying Zheng as a boast.
"Currently, a relatively primitive version of the steam engine has been produced in the Academy of Engineering. If the test is successful, I can take my father and other courtiers to see it."
Ying Yu smiled slightly.
Ying Zheng's doubts made Ying Yu realize that it is necessary to strengthen the popularization of science and technology throughout Daqin.
Otherwise, when the steam engine is really invented, maybe it will be regarded as a monster by ignorant people, or a thing of gods and gods. It is definitely not a good thing for the promotion of the steam engine.
The last hot air balloon test flight, even after a period of publicity, some people couldn't bear it and fainted from fright.
This was when Ying Yu painted the hot air balloon into the appearance of colorful clouds.
If it is replaced by a steam engine, it might be regarded as some kind of monster.
This fully reminded Ying Yu that if he wanted to start the industrial revolution in Daqin more than 1000 years in advance, he must not only improve productivity, but more importantly, improve the cultural level of the people.
Otherwise, even if the steam engine is successfully developed, it will take a long time to be accepted by the common people, and there are not enough qualified workers for production, use and maintenance, and it will not be able to play its fullest role.
These are all things you can start doing now.
.......
With the popularization of steam engines in the new issue of "Daqin Daily", the people in all counties of Daqin became excited again.
"Steam engine, what new invention is this?"
"Could it be a new type of poultry, but I don't know how it tastes."
"It's not chicken. It's a new type of machinery that His Royal Highness asked the Academy of Engineering to research. It is said that it is even more miraculous than a bicycle. You don't need to step on the pedals, and the car can run by itself."
"Not only can they run, but they are much stronger than oxen and horses. They can easily pull tens of thousands of catties of goods, and the speed is extremely fast!"
"Is this true?"
"Of course it is true. His Royal Highness said that this steam engine uses the principle of air flow when the water is boiled. You have seen the scene of boiling water at home. The power can lift the lid of the pot. "
"If it can be magnified countless times, it will be impossible to run with a car!"
"With just enough effort to boil water, even if it can pull a car, it still needs to be built so big that it can't go on the road at all, right?"
"As long as it is what His Royal Highness said, I completely believe it. When did His Royal Highness lie to us?"
"That's right, you can fly into the sky, why not build a company that can run straight?"
"But Your Highness didn't say it, the development of this steam engine is very difficult. Although it is possible to realize it, I'm afraid we won't see it!"
Countless people gathered around the bulletin board to argue endlessly with newspapers, and many of them had doubtful expressions on their faces.
It is really the function of the steam engine described in this newspaper, which is too amazing.
In the past, water power could drive machinery, and the common people could accept it, because water and fire are the power of heaven and earth, and the energy of mountain torrents, the common people have a concept in their minds.
However, the steam that boils water now can have such a large energy, comparable to the power of heaven and earth, it is really unimaginable.
In other words, this article was written by Ying Yu, otherwise it would have been regarded as whimsical by the common people.
Many rotten scholars who had been silent for a long time and couldn't hold their heads up thought they had found a chance to fight back, so they jumped out scramblingly.
"What steam engine, I think it's just a trick!"
"Yes, yes, before, His Royal Highness always took out the real thing first. If you can't get it out this time, it must be impossible, at least not now!"
"I can also dream. In the future, Daqin will not only be able to go to the sky to find the Heavenly Palace, but also enter the sea and sneak into the Dragon Palace!"
"It's gone, it's all gone!"
"It's a pity, His Royal Highness has done quite a lot in martial arts and martial arts, but it's just that he is so careful to study science and engineering.
"Although Shuttle through the clouds is miraculous, it also appeared in fairy tales, and this steam engine doesn't even exist in the fairy world. Even if the crown prince is a fairy god, it is impossible to do it."
The rotten Confucians were all spitting, spouting with joy.
The common people were immediately unhappy, Ying Yu is the patron saint of the Great Qin, the idol of countless people, how could this group of people jump out to question.
So many people stood up and argued with these corrupt Confucians.
But this time, the concept of the steam engine is indeed a little ahead of time. Without seeing the real thing, the words of the rotten scholars still gained a certain market.
Especially after Kong Kui, the last pillar of Confucianism, the ninth descendant of Confucius, also stood up, and got the support of many people who couldn't get along.
All of a sudden, it actually caused a lot of commotion in Daqin.
