At this time, Long Yan.
The Hundred Days Banquet is finally over, but Liu Zheng's good days are also coming to an end.
Re Guli, Shen Manqing, Zheng Yueru, Li Hyunya and Xie Chan, the five women were quarreling over who was Xiao Liuqian's mother.
Originally, these women who did not get Liu Zheng competed for the position of Xiao Liu Qian's godmother.
In their words.
'Since I can't get your man, I'll get your son! '
Liu Zheng was very speechless.
In the end, it was his father who was so powerful that he came up with a solution. Xie Chan was Xiao Liu Gan's biological mother and her identity could not be changed, but the four of them were Xiao Liu Gan's godmothers.
Such a proposal immediately made the five of them reach a consensus.
Liu Zheng deeply felt that his father was so powerful that he could solve all his troubles without any effort.
However, Liu Zheng was miserable next.
After they reached a consensus, although they liked Liu Zheng, now it felt more like relief.
Especially now, after they reached a consensus, they actually united the front with Xie Chan.
It was Liu Zheng's turn to feel uncomfortable.
Because of what Liu Zheng did, the five of them seemed to have agreed to deal with Liu Zheng together.
In the past few days, in order to avoid the limelight, Liu Zheng plunged directly into the Liangzhou laboratory and did not dare to come out.
Inside Liangzhou Laboratory.
Liu Zheng also finally met the person who improved the steam train and greatly improved its cargo transportation capacity, Stephen Sun.
Facing this person, Liu Zheng felt indescribably happy.
His improvements directly brought Long Yan into the industrial age.
There are many mines in Longyan, but it is impossible for all factories to be built near the mines.
The only option is to choose a closer distance for construction, so that transportation will be more convenient.
However, this does not detract from the cost of transporting raw materials.
Currently, half of the price of the products produced by Longyan Factory is spent on transportation fees.
But now with the existence of steam trains, as long as they have trains near the factory, all this will no longer be a problem.
"Thank you, Mr. Stephenson, you have made our Longyan industrial era take another big step forward."
Stephenson looked at the young man in front of him, slightly stunned. After being introduced by the people around him, the expression on his face became extremely shocked.
He held Liu Zheng's hand excitedly: "Master Liu Zheng, it's really you!"
Liu Zheng couldn't handle it now.
Stephenson added: "I heard Hu Xi'er and Mo Cheng mention you often."
"If it weren't for your enlightenment, Long Yan would not have developed so fast, nor would it have built a steam train."
Liu Zheng waved his hand and said, "These are just some suggestions."
"It was the scientists who actually completed the research. I just pointed out a direction."
"You are too modest..."
After some business exchanges, Stephenson chatted about something.
"Mr. Liu Zheng, I wonder if you have ever thought about making the steam engine smaller so that we can develop smaller manned vehicles."
“I think the current horse-drawn carriage is always going to be phased out.”
"The carriage was just too difficult to maneuver, and the horses required care and were not stable enough."
Liu Zheng looked at Stephenson. He didn't expect that the other person's ideas were so advanced and he had already begun to think about making a car with a steam engine as the core power.
However, although this idea is good, it is doomed to fail.
Using a steam engine to make it will only increase the cost.
Steam is too bulky to be made into a vehicle suitable for running on the road.
Liu Zheng shook his head and said: "Steam engines can't do it."
"Its frame has limited its form. Now the smallest steam engine is one person tall, and the fuel that steam engines cannot use is coal. We can't keep coal on top of the car. It will be very dangerous."
"And with current technology, there is no way to achieve effective thermal isolation, which will make the car very hot."
"I don't think many people can withstand such heat even in the cold winter."
Stephenson nodded and said, "Indeed."
"However, a friend I know is always saying that these will not be a problem. According to his idea, he is building something to replace the steam engine."
"I don't think he will succeed. Apart from steam, I can't think of any other way to generate enough air pressure to make the machine run."
He wanted to refute Stephenson. In this Liangzhou laboratory, a machine he mentioned had successfully run for five seconds a few days ago.
But after Liu Zheng heard this, he was still slightly stunned.
Unexpectedly, someone in Britain now has such an idea.
It is worthy of the current Empire that the sun never sets. It can actually produce such talents in such a short family.
Liu Zheng asked: "Is your friend still in Britain?"
Stephenson nodded: "Yes, sir."
"Not everyone is as lucky as me to be able to meet Miss Hu Xier and Mr. Mo Cheng and come to Longyan with their help."
Liu Zheng did not respond to Stephenson's thanks, but said: "If your friend also wants to come to Longyan, we are always welcome."
"Liangzhou Laboratory also welcomes his arrival at any time. Of course, if he has any difficulties, he can also come to us, Long Yan, for help."
"My assistance to science should be quite large."
"Mr. Liu Zheng, are you kidding..."
…
At this time, the British colonies.
King George III looked at the recently sent intelligence.
War broke out again on the European continent.
The Russian-Austrian forces once again attacked Prussia, and this time Prussia was defeated in the Odi River Basin of Poland.
The Prussian troops were dispersed and Frederick II now led the attack in person.
"Your Majesty, the Prussian envoy came to us to request assistance, but I neither agreed nor agreed."
"As for Longyan, they are also allies of Prussia. Now Longyan controls Saxony."
"If they assist Prussia, they are the most capable." George III said coldly.
The Prime Minister recalled for a moment and said: "Long Yan did not agree to provide assistance to Prussia, but Ling Chen's troops are still in Hanover, and his troops have a tendency to expand into our territory in Hanover."
George III raised his eyebrows. If Ling Chen's actions were normal, he would have been provoking Britain.
But now Britain's territory in Hanover has been completely lost, and they also need Lingchen's troops to help them regain their territory.
As for Prussia's aid, George III considered it carefully: "Reject them."
"From now on, like Long Yan, we will not give Prussia a penny in aid."
The Prime Minister nodded. This decision seemed to him to be the right one.
The war has been going on for so long. Although Prussia has been winning victories, it is like a person pretending to be asleep. No matter what you do, you can't wake him up.
It would be better to get out of this bottomless pit of Prussia as soon as possible.
