Liangshan.
Looking towards the North Academy.
Mo Chen, and Hu Xi'er quietly looked at the two strange things in front of them.
Then a group of people excitedly carried these two things to the mouth of a well and put them down.
Since the establishment of the scientific research office of Wangbei Academy, this thing can be regarded as a crystallization of the combination of Chinese and Western wisdom.
same.
This group of Longyan people and Westerners who are obsessed with scientific research also know what this thing means in this era.
Rhodes couldn't help but get excited. He directed people to slowly put this thing into the well.
These are two large egg-shaped containers.
They go inside first, fill it with steam, and then close the intake valve. Spray cold water outside the container to condense the steam inside the container to form a vacuum.
Then place it in the well water, open the water inlet valve, and the water at the bottom of the well is sucked into the container through the water inlet pipe under the action of atmospheric pressure.
"ah!"
"It's done!"
"Look!"
"Oh My God……"
A group of people shouted excitedly.
Rhodes, with trembling hands, continued to operate.
He then closed the water inlet valve, reopened the steam inlet valve, and relied on steam pressure to force the water in the container out through the drain valve.
When the water in the container is drained and filled with steam, close the steam inlet valve and drain valve, and spray water again to condense the steam.
This cycle was repeated, and under the cheers of everyone, the two egg-shaped containers worked alternately and began to drain water continuously!
Success!
Amazing skills!
Rhodes burst into tears: "This is possible, this is possible! See, see, the energy of steam exists! It can be used!"
Everyone also cheered.
Yes.
This is the world's first steam water lifter!
A few months ago, Liu Zheng flew over with a drawing, and they began to study this steam water lifter. At that time, these people still had doubts about the energy that steam could produce.
But today.
What happened before them undoubtedly shocked them.
Mo Chen also took a deep breath: "Source power, source power, this is the source power reform that Young Master said..."
For this group of scientific researchers, this definitely opened the door to a new world.
They need a long, long time to continue studying this topic.
In fact.
Liu Zheng had never planned to come up with this drawing - if it weren't for the development of Liaodong that required large-scale coal mining. Historically, the steam water lift itself was invented for mining. In a previous life, the world's first practical steam water lifter was developed to serve British coal miners.
At that time, manpower and animal power alone could no longer meet the requirements for removing underground water from mines, and there was abundant and cheap coal on site as fuel. The practical needs prompted many people to devote themselves to the exploration and experiment of "fire-powered water extraction."
As a result, the first steam water lifter came into being.
This was also the first steam engine in the world. At this point, the steam age began on the European continent, and the first industrial revolution also came with it.
Liu Zheng didn't dare to do it before.
Why?
Two reasons.
First, the premature emergence of the steam engine will definitely cause great changes in the world structure. Because this is more than a hundred years earlier than the history of the previous life. Things like steam engines are no longer just a simple butterfly effect. Therefore, Liu Zheng's worries are not unnecessary.
Second.
Liu Zheng has always understood that advanced productivity requires advanced production relations to match it. And now, how can the decadent system of the Longyan Dynasty, which has lasted for thousands of years, serve this advanced productivity? In other words, once the steam engine appears, it will definitely be a huge challenge and impact to the Longyan Dynasty.
A deeper analysis shows that the rapid increase in productivity will enhance the status of capital and workers in Longyan.
As the power of the capitalist class and the working class become increasingly powerful, they will naturally hope to gain further economic and political status. This will inevitably impact Longyan's existing feudal system, capital, and workers, and will demand the further lifting of feudal oppression and the implementation of free operations, free competition, and free trade.
Once this steam engine appears, everything will develop in the direction of fission.
No one can control what will happen in the future.
Can the decadent Longyan Dynasty withstand such an impact?
Liu Zheng has been hesitating.
So, on the one hand, he is waiting for himself to become strong and have enough military capabilities to stabilize all this.
On the other hand, he is waiting for a historical opportunity.
This time.
There was nothing he could do.
"calm down!"
Mo Chen quickly said coldly: "Everyone, this has just begun, it is not fully formed yet, research must continue, why are you all so excited!"
This time, everyone calmed down a bit.
But then, Mo Chen said: "From today on, no one is allowed to leave the academy without permission, and no one is allowed to write letters and contact outsiders without permission! Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"
"yes!"
This group of Westerners were originally slaves, so how could they dare to disobey them?
Rhodes had long been Liu Zheng's confidant, so he naturally knew that this matter was no small matter.
After sending this group of excited people away.
Mo Chen and Rhodes looked at each other.
They both laughed at the same time.
"Notify Yintan City immediately to mass-produce the water pump and send it to Jinzhou!"
…
At this time, Qin Changfeng, who was in the Kokand Khanate, did not know that the wheel of history had already begun to turn.
He stayed up all night because of Zhai Shiqing's words.
Central Asia is a place to be!
Pictureable!
These two words have been lingering in Qin Changfeng's mind.
This time, he was here to show off.
Yes, that’s what the Master ordered.
But as the general of the Liangzhou Army, Qin Changfeng and the dead Mire were old friends who could drink together when they were alive.
Mire's death also made him sad.
Isn't it that the young master's pursuit of Putu Port is to cause trouble for the Ottoman Empire and avenge Mire?
Then simply...
Wouldn't it be better to defeat all of Central Asia?
As soon as this crazy idea came out, I couldn't suppress it anymore.
Think about it, the Liangzhou Army has indeed not fought for almost a year.
This feels a little itchy...
Today, the five Central Asian countries are on guard against each other, but with the intrusion of their own troops, the situation will definitely change.
Chance!
This is definitely a great opportunity!
and.
Who doesn’t want a water country in Central Asia?
Qin Changfeng remembered that all the countries in the Western Regions were extremely short of water. It was only because of the Young Master's Grand Canal plan that the irrigation problem was solved.
but……
What about these countries in Central Asia?
And what about those countries in West Asia?
If you control the water source, you control everything!
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep. Qin Changfeng finally stood up and shouted: "Quickly, quickly, call Zou Sheng and Zhai Shiqing!"
