Chapter 489: Inheritance is Immortal
The steam plow had been built, now only testing remained.
However, the experiment requires fields, and every piece of land in the village has been used, but there are still fifteen days before the grain is harvested.
"Sir, now we have completed the invention of the plow truck ahead of schedule. The students are wondering if we can use a steam truck to make a harvester." Cuttlefish said.
Qin An was stunned, looked at Cuiyu and said with a smile: "He is indeed the assistant I like, he has his own ideas, very good, very good.
I wonder if you have any ideas? "
"The student already has some ideas, but he feels they are inappropriate. Please give me some advice now." After speaking, Cuiyu took out a drawing he drew from his arms.
Qin An took the drawing and looked at it carefully. He found that the cuttlefish drawing was very interesting.
Cuttlefish's drawing was based on a steam plow truck, with a large sickle installed in front of the truck, and then nothing.
There are two sickles on the left and right, mounted on the front of the car like the saw teeth in the mouth of a beetle.
"After harvesting, were the grains thrown directly into the fields?" Qin An asked.
Cuttlefish nodded and said, "That's right, as long as the villagers go to the ground and collect it."
Qin An shook his head speechlessly and said: Wasn't it crushed by a steam vehicle? "
Cuiyu was stunned for a moment, as if this was indeed the case, and immediately said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, sir, the student made you laugh."
Qin An shook his head and said: "Actually, your idea is very good. You can think about a threshing machine. I will draw you a drawing and then find some people to study it yourself."
"Thank you sir, thank you sir." Cuttlefish said excitedly.
Qin An smiled and didn't say much. He just helped him draw a drawing of the harvester outside.
There are not many changes, the main change is the front, the two sickles and the blade are removed, and replaced with a style that can often be seen in the outside world.
As for the rest, Qin An didn't do much painting, so he left this matter directly to Cuiyu and the others.
All he needs to do is build such a steam plow truck. Qin An has other plans for the remaining two years.
The news that Qin An had made a plow truck quickly reached the ears of the First Emperor.
The First Emperor was immediately overjoyed. As long as plow trucks were widely used, the people would be blessed.
Immediately, the First Emperor came to Tiangong Bureau.
The Tiangong Bureau was co-chaired by Mohist giants Meng Sheng and Gong Shuyang.
They have now made a steam engine.
Even if they made things one-to-one based on the drawings given by Qin An before, they still failed. The reason was that they could not find replacement materials because of the materials.
If Qin An hadn't found it, they might not have been able to research the steam engine in their lifetime unless they studied the materials of the steam engine first.
And after they failed more than a dozen times, they did start to study the materials.
"Finally, the research is successful, and I can return to His Majesty." Gong Shuyang said.
Meng Sheng shook his head and said: "No, if we are just satisfied with this, then I'm sorry for the drawings sir.
I heard from your majesty that sir is already studying a steam plow truck. It took us two months to build a steam engine. Sir, maybe he has already built a steam plow truck. "
Gong Shuyang nodded and said, "What you said is very possible. For this reason, I decided to make a request to His Majesty."
"What are you requesting from me?"
Ying Zheng's voice suddenly appeared in the Tiangong Bureau.
Gong Shuyang, Meng Sheng and other Tiangong Bureau people all knelt down to greet him: "See your Majesty."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone stood up one by one.
Meng Sheng and Gong Shuyang took a slight step forward and came to Ying Zheng.
Gong Shuyang was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen and others have already made the steam engine according to Sir's instructions.
Thus, it is discovered that
Even with his drawings, we cannot compare with him.
We have failed more than a dozen times in the past six months. The reason is that the technology and materials cannot meet the requirements.
This shows that we cannot compare with your husband at all. Since we cannot compare, I hope to continue to study with you. "
Ying Zheng sneered and said, "You are quite self-aware. I came here this time to tell you that Qin An has completed the steam plow truck. After the summer harvest in half a month, Qin An will test the steam plow truck.
You take your disciples and clansmen with me to Zhaojiacun.
I have a task for you. "
"Your Majesty, please do as you please." Meng Sheng and Gong Shuyang said at the same time.
"Learning the steam train, I don't want blueprints this time, but you will be involved in every step.
If you can't do it, I'll ask you. Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
"No." Meng Sheng and Gong Shuyang responded at the same time.
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. In addition, I also want to tell you some good news. I want to establish an academy that is related to both Mohism and Gongshu.
According to Qin An, it is called the School of Engineering, and the future talents will be responsible for the future projects of the Qin Dynasty.
There are still fifteen days left, and you need to develop a set of teaching methods and teaching content.
You can mention whatever you need, but I ask you to divide the courses into elementary school, middle school and university. Elementary school is for basics, middle school is more profound, and university is for majors. "
"Your Majesty, I have never heard of this matter. I have no idea what to do for a while. Could you please ask me for advice?" Meng Sheng said.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Your answers are the same as others. It seems that I have to take you to the academy."
"I have disappointed Your Majesty, please forgive me." Gong Shuyang and Meng Sheng said at the same time.
Qin An sighed and said: "It doesn't matter, you and Qin An have always spanned two thousand years, which cannot be made up in one year.
You prepare your knowledge, let Qin An take a look, and finally formulate a set of teaching procedures and content. This is also an opportunity to develop your Mohists and public losers. Don't hide your private interests. "
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will never hide anything." Meng Sheng and Gong Shuyang said at the same time.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Get ready and wait for my notification."
"promise."
After Ying Zheng left, Meng Sheng and Gong Shuyang looked at each other.
"It seems that we need to take out all our family assets." Meng Sheng said.
"This is an opportunity for the Mohist family and Gongshu Yang, unless you don't want the Mohist family to develop." Gongshu Yang said.
"I really didn't expect that our two families would finally cooperate with each other after fighting for more than a hundred years."
"I didn't expect it either." Gong Shuyang smiled, "But to be able to complete this great project, I am willing to put aside my prejudices.
The future development of Daqin will all depend on the two of us. This is the so-called technology.
Technology is the only way out for development. In the future, the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed, and Confucianism will be destroyed, but the inheritance of our two families will not be destroyed. "
