"The common people have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Please sit down, please sit down." Han Qi hurriedly invited people into the room.
Others also panicked when they heard the voice. They all stood up and lined up close to the wall.
Fang Zheng sat down on the chair without any politeness.
Looking at the dazzling array of delicious food on the table, my anger began to grow again.
It seems that I have really been slacking off recently, and my subordinates didn't even notice that they were being lazy.
In the past, it didn't matter if they wanted to raise more funds. As the saying goes, if the cook doesn't steal the grain, it won't be harvested. This problem exists to some extent in any industry.
As long as you can meet your needs and do your job honestly, that's all. It's not worth the extra money!
Now he was really disappointed.
The steam engine is the most important thing in his eyes. Anyone who dares to joke about this matter will definitely get no good results!
Fang Zhengyi was still thinking about how to punish him, but Li Yuanzhao had already started to look around.
This data room is not big. There is a big table in the middle, and the three walls are filled with various types of materials.
Parts, experiment records, material records, etc...
Before he could finish reading, Han Qi said with difficulty: "Master... we really have no funds... we really spend our own money on football betting."
"I haven't asked you yet, but you still have the nerve to talk!" Fang Zheng slammed the table, "I brought the prince here today just to see how your research is going. If you can't come up with results that satisfy me, everyone will Go to prison to reflect, and find a new group of people to study!"
It's over, the master is really angry.
Han Qi trembled and said: "Master, I will take you to see it. Go now. Everything is in the newly built factory..."
"Walk!"
Fang Zheng said nothing, stood up and walked out of the house first, followed closely by Li Yuanzhao.
Han Qi breathed a sigh of relief, while the others were anxious and sweating profusely: "Old Han, what should I do? I'm really angry."
"Don't be afraid! You're not doing anything wrong, and you're not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. You go to the factory to prepare first, and we'll show you how to make sure nothing goes wrong later."
After Han Qi finished speaking, he hurriedly left the house and led the way for Fang Zheng.
On the way, Han Qi was still explaining in a nonchalant manner: "Master, this is a misunderstanding. We really spent our own money betting on football. Jin Yiwei comes to check the accounts once a month, and we can't lie to you."
"But... we just finished our busy work recently. Several brothers complained that they were tired, so they... took two days off. You see, we didn't go home during the holiday, we were still in the research institute..."
After hearing his explanation, Fang Zhengyi felt a lot calmer: "Anyway, I want to see the results today, and I will find someone to check the rest."
Han Qi forced a smile and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
I hope the master will be satisfied today, otherwise it looks like it will be bad.
After walking not far, we arrived at the backyard of the small building. However, this backyard was quite strange. It was not open-air but covered with a shed.
There are iron pipes and strange-shaped devices made of bricks and stones inside the shed. Several people are surrounding the device, some are adding coal inside, and some are dismantling the shed.
Fang Zhengyi had never seen this strange thing before, but he still found something familiar when he glanced around.
An object that looks like a pocket watch is on the iron pipe of the installation. Is that a pressure gauge...?
Han Qi said: "Master, this is a steam pump. It is connected to the well. It can pump water up. Please wait a moment."
After waiting for a while, the machine started to operate, making a roaring sound, and white smoke began to slowly come out from above.
A look of horror appeared on Li Yuanzhao's face, and he asked in shock: "What kind of strange noise is this?"
Han Qi hurriedly explained, followed by a string of difficult terms, which left Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao confused.
While he was explaining, the water pump had already started operating, and water began to flow out from the exposed pipe mouth.
Li Yuanzhao said in surprise: "It's really coming! Look, Old Fang!"
Fang Zhengyi was surprised.
Steam water pump... This is really interesting. It seems that the people at the Steam Research Institute did not work in vain, but worked hard.
You must know that the practical value of this thing is quite great.
Seeing the surprised expressions on both of their faces, Han Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, are you satisfied with it?"
Before Fang Zhengyi could answer, Li Yuanzhao asked: "What is the use of this thing? If it is just for pumping water, it would be a bit redundant to build such a thing specially."
Han Qi was instantly embarrassed.
Yes, they thought so too. Ever since the steam pump was built, they thought it was useless, so they never reported it.
Zhengchou didn't know how to explain it, so Fang Zheng spoke: "Your Highness, this thing is of great use. When mining was started, some mines were so waterlogged that it was impossible to mine. If manpower was used to carry water, it would take immeasurable time. If there were It’s a lot more convenient.”
"You can also pump water into the fish pond, and then you can go fishing after draining the water."
Han Qi slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "The master is wise! That's what I think!"
"Then what's the flaw in this thing?" Fang Zheng added.
Han Qi's expression froze and he muttered: "It consumes a lot of fuel... and it's easy to explode. But if you give us some time, we will definitely be able to solve it!"
Fang Zheng was filled with regret. It seemed that it was still far from enough, but it had initially gained practical value, which was a good thing.
"Is there anything else? You couldn't come up with just this one useful thing for so long, right?"
"Yes! Also, sir, come with me."
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the first factory building.
This factory building is made of cement. It covers a large area, is wide and long, and the most eye-catching thing is the oversized iron door.
When Han Qi opened the iron door, the true appearance of the factory was revealed.
There are many windows on the surrounding walls for lighting, and the most eye-catching part is the oval iron track in the center of the factory building.
Fang Zhengyi nodded secretly.
Although the train has not been produced, they have obviously produced the model of the railway track that he had drawn, but there should be supporting equipment.
Otherwise, if you want to take credit for just one railway track, you are looking for scolding!
Li Yuanzhao pointed to the track and asked, "What is this and what is it used for?"
Han Qi said: "Back to your highness, this is a track, and sports cars can be driven on it. Your highness, sir, please wait a moment while I go get some things."
After saying that, Han Qi ran to the depths of the factory to look for something.
Sports car? Doesn’t a sports car set limits for itself on a track?
Li Yuanzhao's head was filled with questions.
But the next moment, Han Qi was already running back in a hurry holding two long objects.
Putting the thing on the track in front of Fang Zheng's eyes, Fang Zheng felt his eyes light up.
This train model is made authentically!
Han Qi claimed the credit and said: "Sir! This is an experimental model we made. You see, each of these two cars has been improved, and the third generation is still customizing parts."
"The internal research code name of our steam institute is God of War. This is the first generation called the Original God of War, and the second generation is called the Charge God of War. After a while, add water and kerosene, and he will be able to run! What do you think?"
Fang Zheng's mouth twitched twice: "Good... what a good name."
