The afterglow of the sun fell on the square, illuminating the ground with a halo of yellow.
On the flat square, people gathered from all over the place to finish their work. Although they had been busy for a day, everyone had smiles from the bottom of their hearts. Naughty children walked back and forth among the crowd, shouting from time to time. Childlike smile.
On the east side of the square, there was a two-meter-high wooden platform with three objects covered with red silk cloth. Many people looked at it curiously.
To the south of the square, more than two hundred women were nervously preparing meals. The smell of fish filled the air, making many people unable to help but swallow their saliva. Children, even more, crowded around eagerly, sniffing the delicious food. Mouth-watering meaty aroma.
Zuo Guangdou was among the crowd. Looking at this lively scene, he was filled with emotion. These refugees had looked lifeless in the past few days, but in a short period of time, everyone burst out with hope for the future. The smiles that have never appeared on their faces can now be seen everywhere!
Such a big change, such a large scale of laughter and laughter, made Zuo Guangdou suddenly feel that he was integrated into it at this moment, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
He saw his disciple Shi Ke Fazheng standing with His Majesty and several others, talking and laughing. The smiles on their faces were so real, especially Your Majesty. Zuo Guangdou had always been strict with His Majesty when he met him before, but now he saw him. He was just like ordinary young people, laughing and joking freely. In the past, Zuo Guangdou would have thought that His Majesty no longer had the majesty of an emperor, but now he just feels friendly!
At this lively moment, Zhu Youxiao, Huang Xiao, Wang Zheng, and Song Yingxing stepped onto the high platform one after another.
The laughter and laughter in the crowd gradually stopped, and everyone looked at the four people on the high platform with gratitude.
"Dear fellow villagers! Brothers and sisters of Dahuangzhuang! Today is a good day for double happiness in Dahuangzhuang! First of all, the steel knives and other weapons produced by our Dahuangzhuang Iron and Steel Plant have won a huge order of one million taels from the imperial court! From now on! , the scale of our steel plant will be larger, and more people will be able to work in the steel plant! Our lives will also get better and better!
Here, on behalf of everyone at Dahuang Village, I would like to thank Zhu Yongxiao, owner of Zhu Village, for grabbing this big order! "
Huang Xiao was the first to applaud!
The villagers cheered loudly, and there was thunderous applause at the scene!
Zhu Youxiao's face was slightly drunk, and he stood in front of him and thanked him!
The applause continued for a long time. Huang Xiao pressed his hands to indicate that the scene slowly became quiet.
"Secondly, the second happy event for our Dahuang Village is that the steam engine developed by Dahuang Village has been officially assembled today! With this steam engine, our farm's water pump will no longer have to queue up to use it! And in the future, people all over the world will also I will gradually use him!"
When Huang Xiao said this, he pulled open the red cloth on the left side with his hand, revealing a steam engine.
Everyone at the scene was so excited that they shouted "Hello!"
These days, this magical steam engine has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and many people regard this machine as an artifact!
Now I heard that Dahuang Village can mass-produce this kind of artifact in the future, everyone is proud and excited!
"The successful development of this steam engine is the result of the hard work of Director Song, Director Wang, and even workers from the steam engine factory and other factories! It is precisely because of their day and night work that the steam engine can be successfully developed so quickly!
Here, on behalf of the villagers of Dahuang Village, I would like to say thank you to them! Thank you for your efforts! "
Huang Xiao and Zhu Youxiao saluted Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng together!
Song Yingxing and Song Yingxing were so excited that their faces turned red!
The villagers below were so slapped that their hands turned red!
And many workers in the factory straightened their chests with pride!
The atmosphere was so lively that Huang Xiao pressed his hand twice before everyone became quiet.
"Everyone must be curious, what are the two machines on the right side of my hand? Now, please Zhu Zhuangzhu to unveil the red cloth!"
Zhu Youxiao opened the red cloth with a smile.
Everyone looked over curiously.
Zuo Guangdou and Shi Kefa also looked over with great concern. They saw that these two machines were connected in series with the previous steam engine with belt pull rods. They seemed to be textile machines!
But there are so many shuttles. If this is a textile machine, the efficiency...
"Many of you should have recognized it, right! This is a textile machine! And it is a textile machine driven by a steam engine! Such a textile machine can equal the efficiency of more than a hundred hand-made textile machines. With this textile machine! Cloth! It will become cheaper and cheaper, and no one will be able to afford clothes anymore!”
"Now we hold the opening ceremony! Let us witness this historical moment together!"
Huang Xiao shouted loudly and retreated to a corner with Zhu Youxiao and others.
More than a dozen men came on stage to fill the steam engine with water and burn coal. Another twenty women who had been trained long ago also took their places and stood beside the textile machine.
Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng helped the women put the twine on the shuttle...
Everything was ready, and everyone watched with bated breath.
Just as Huang Xiao was about to speak, Zhu Youxiao took the loudspeaker from Huang Xiao's hand and shouted: "Master Huang has worked hard for the development of our Dahuang Village! I think Master Huang should be the first to light the fire! Okay!" "
"good!"
"Master Huang, please light the fire!"
…
There was a roaring shout from the crowd.
Wang Zheng smiled and took a torch and walked over.
Huang Xiao laughed, turned around, took the torch, and threw it into the combustion chamber!
Several men pulled up the bellows, and amid the whistling wind, the fire was blazing, making Huang Xiao's face blush.
Huang Xiao's heart is full of pride!
At this moment, he felt that everything was worth it! He believes that from now on, the general trend of the world will definitely change dramatically! Our Chinese clan will always be at the top of the world!
"Woooo..."
White steam spurted out, blowing charming music, the piston pushed, and the pull rod made a very rhythmic sound, driving the two textile machines to start working, and hundreds of shuttles began to rotate at the same time, neatly and uniformly, extremely spectacular!
Everyone at the scene looked at the cloth outlet nervously. Soon, under everyone's expectation, cloth was spit out continuously...
Wang Ergou and Liu Erxiao led a group respectively and quickly walked to the cloth exit.
A team of twenty-one people is responsible for one cloth outlet! Everyone lined up.
Wang Ergou and a soldier, Liu Erxiao and a soldier in his group, two teams of four people simultaneously pulled out the ends of the cloth, raised their heads and chests high, and strode towards the audience!
The other soldiers joined hands one after another!
The cloth continued to stretch out, and the crowd automatically gave way to the road!
Two pieces of white wide cloth gradually moved forward from the high platform, getting longer and longer until they reached Li Xu. It was extremely shocking!
It wasn't until the textile machine stopped working that it stopped!
Many people at the scene were shocked!
But soon everyone consciously stood next to the cloth and helped hold it up with their hands.
"This cloth is so well woven! If you touch it, this linen cloth is as finely stitched as cotton cloth. It's great!"
"It's so fast! Hundreds of pieces can be spun in the blink of an eye. What a magical thing!"
"I would be so happy if I could have clothes like this!"
…
There were exclamations from the crowd!
Until everyone helped the soldiers take the cloth back, everyone was still talking endlessly.
Zuo Guangdou and Shi Kefa in the crowd were also extremely horrified! Although they knew that steam engines were extremely versatile, when they saw it with their own eyes, they were still shocked and speechless!
Zuo Guangdou kept thinking about what Zhu Youxiao said in the morning!
This is the power of science!
yes! One machine can defeat a hundred people. The power of this science is truly terrifying!
