Chapter 456: Visiting the Steam Engine Room
Qin An saw the two father-in-laws holding their daughters one by one and shrugged helplessly.
I didn’t miss him so much after not seeing each other for a few months. This time we haven't seen each other for only two months, and you actually act like you miss her so much?
Qin An was quite helpless and said: "Two father-in-laws, this is not a place to reminisce about old times. How about we go back to the yard and sit down and have a cup of tea to chat slowly?"
Ying Zheng gently let go of Ying Yinman and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm a little excited. Come on, let's go back home. I bought a lot of ingredients. You can cook a good meal tonight."
"No problem." Qin An said.
"Okay, let's go back."
Immediately, everyone rode their bicycles back and handed all the baskets to the Black Dragon Guard.
Now that he has walked out of the vegetable market, Ying Zheng's safety factor is high, so he doesn't need too many Black Dragon Guards.
Soon, Ying Zheng and the others passed by the steam engine room. There was still an endless stream of villagers coming in and out, all of them going to see the steam engine.
Ying Zheng stopped and said, "Why are there so many villagers coming in and out here? I didn't see this place last time."
Qin An replied: "That is the steam engine room. I have just successfully developed a small steam engine that can be used to generate electricity.
Nowadays, there are street lights on the streets. At night, these street lights will light up! Stay open until dawn.
It will be much easier to go out in the future. In the village, at least everyone no longer needs lanterns for lighting. "
"Then I'm going to have a look. You often say that the emergence of the steam engine is the beginning of the steam age. What's so powerful about this steam engine?" Ying Zheng said.
Qin An smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together. I believe everyone is very curious about how magical this steam engine is."
"Walk."
Following Ying Zheng's order, everyone immediately changed their route, turned the direction of their bicycles, and walked towards the steam engine room.
With the arrival of Ying Zheng and others, Meng Yi and Zhang Han, who were maintaining order at the scene, immediately stepped forward to salute.
"See the village chief."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, just take us in and take a look."
"No." Meng Yi and Zhang Han responded at the same time.
There was no need for the two of them to explain the situation. The villagers who were entering and exiting consciously made way for them.
Qin An could see in the eyes of the villagers their awe and even a little fear for Ying Zheng. This has always puzzled Qin An, but he attributed it to the village's backward thinking.
Ying Zheng entered the steam engine room under the leadership of Qin An, where a group of Mohist and Gongshu disciples were busy.
There were almost three or four people in a group. They stared at the key points of the steam engine, pointed at them, and then wrote them down in a book. They did not notice the arrival of Ying Zheng and others at all.
The two brothers Cuyu and Mohu managed the scene.
Since Qin An hired Cuttlefish as his assistant, Cuttlefish's abilities have improved a lot. This steam engine is also attributed to Cuttlefish.
Of course, Cuttlefish would not forget Mo Hu, so Cuttlefish asked Mo Hu to be his assistant. Normally, Cuttlefish would ask Mo Hu for help with things that were too busy for him.
Over time, Mo Hu also became Qin An's stopper.
This made the disciples of Gong Loser extremely envious, but there was nothing they could do about it. Qin An would not recruit them for the time being, otherwise they would also have the opportunity to become Qin An's assistants.
Ying Zheng didn't care about Cuiyu and the others, but looked at the small steam engine in the middle. Someone was constantly adding fuel to the steam engine, making the fire in the furnace more and more intense.
"What is this for? Aren't they afraid that the steam engine will be burned out?" Gan Luo asked immediately.
Only then did Qin An notice Gan Luo and explained with a smile: "This steam engine needs to keep adding coal to the steam engine, so that there is inexhaustible steam in the steam engine.
You see those moving articulated arms, which are driven by steam. If there is no steam, it wouldn’t be called a steam engine, would it? "
"Aren't you afraid that the water inside will be burned dry?" Gan Luo asked.
"Just add water." Qin An couldn't help but frowned. Who is this guy? He would ask such a simple question.
Gan Luo also seemed to feel that his question was a bit unnecessary, and his face turned red. He was really embarrassed.
"Qin An. How do I add water?" Ying Zheng asked. He didn't see the place to add water.
Qin An pointed to a protruding place and said: "That's the water intake. There is an indicator next to it. Once the water is low, it will be displayed. Then just add water.
Generally speaking, for safety reasons, I will ask them to add water once a day. Today is the first day. I let them run it for a day and night, and then stop it until tomorrow morning. "
"Why is this?" Ying Zheng asked.
“It’s not just to avoid waste, my steam engine is used to generate electricity for the street lights in the village and for my home.
If there is rubber, I can let everyone in the village have access to the store, and then use the big river in the village to build a hydroelectric power plant, which can generate electricity for the villagers at no cost.
However, this technology is only used in small power plants and giant power plants. I cannot do it alone. "After Qin An explained the reason, he drew a big pie for Ying Zheng and the others.
It is not easy to provide electricity to the whole village, not to mention that there are no wires and generators. Even if there are, the electricity generated by the power of the water flow in the river cannot support the power of a village. This is not easy.
When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Qin An, guess what I brought you?"
"What? It can't be gold, silver and jewelry." Qin An's face showed excitement.
With these things, he can cash them in when he returns to the city, then buy a villa, let his three wives live in the villa, hire a nanny to clean the house, and hire a five-star chef to cook for him Three meals a day is the enjoyment of this world.
Ying Zheng didn't know what Qin An was thinking, so he just rolled his eyes and said, "I have a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but are you sure these are the ones you need most now?"
Qin An said unclearly: "Besides these, I don't seem to lack anything."
Ying Zheng said: "Don't you want rubber? And sugar cane."
Qin An said indifferently: "As long as I want these things, I can just go out of the village to buy them. Even if we don't have them now, in two years, we can have as many as we want, and the prices are cheap. They are not what I need at all." .”
Ying Zheng's originally good mood seemed to have been poured cold water on by Qin An, and his good mood suddenly disappeared.
"I don't have any gold, silver or jewelry, but I have brought you rubber and sugar cane. If you don't like it, I will throw it away for you now."
"What, father-in-law, you actually have rubber and sugar cane. Did someone go out?" Qin An asked in shock.
Some people died, but not completely...
