It goes without saying much about the significance of something like a steam engine.
If the emergence of stirrups changed ancient times.
Then the emergence of the steam engine defined modern times.
From the beginning of the first industrial revolution until Lu Yuan traveled to the earth before his time, this steam engine has been affecting the earth.
Although steam turbines had long been eliminated in Lu Yuan's era.
But it still has an impact.
Isn't there such a joke? The highest technology of mankind is to boil water.
Can Lu Yuan make a steam engine?
Of course.
Lu Yuan's "Ingenuity" was not given in vain.
However, this steam engine is much more complicated than what Lu Yuan made before.
If Lu Yuan needs to watch "Craftsmanship" for half an hour to get the bicycle, Lu Yuan needs to watch "Craftsmanship" for two to three hours to get the Snow Dragon Yaori Kai.
Then this steam turbine...
Lu Yuan needs to be watched for at least two nights!
It’s hard~
Lu Yuan is a blind person who feels like falling asleep whenever he reads a book.
Reading for two nights is really exhausting.
As for whether it is necessary to build this steam turbine...
It's still necessary.
Because as long as steam turbines appeared, the Zhou Dynasty would soon undergo earth-shaking changes.
The biggest change is that people's lives can get better.
Replace manual work with machinery.
Of course... In fact, the Zhou Dynasty is already moving in this direction.
However, the Great Zhou Dynasty was moving forward in its own way, based on the spiritual core.
Just look at the large heavy industries driven by spiritual cores in the Zhou Dynasty.
The Zhou Dynasty was also progressing in its own way.
Lu Yuan believed that even if the Zhou Dynasty did not have him, it would still be able to develop very well relying on its spiritual power core in a hundred years.
Not to mention the living conditions like those on the earth before Lu Yuan traveled through.
but……
Lu Yuan felt that he could at least be a flower grower for 90 years or 00 years.
Because some things can be inherited and continued to develop.
Once one person makes a start, the next person can develop better and better along this path.
Just like 20 years ago on earth, when people had a PHS in their hands, they were very powerful.
Who would have thought that mobile phones could do so many things 20 years later?
But for Lu Yuan, this time is a bit long.
Lu Yuan doesn't care much about his life a hundred years from now. That should have nothing to do with him.
What Lu Yuan wants is for his current living conditions to improve.
This is Lu Yuan's original intention in growing greenhouses, and the same is true in growing potatoes.
Why do you need to do these things...
Because... I really can’t spend all my money! !
Lu Yuan wanted to spend money to enjoy it, but he couldn't even spend the money!
Who can know the pain of carrying a huge sum of money and having no way to spend it?
Of course, Lu Yuan has more than 300,000, which is actually far behind some super wealthy businessmen in the imperial city.
After all, Lu Yuan's money was just inherited from his third uncle.
And my third uncle is also a vanguard general, and the money comes from a shady source.
It is said that Lu Yuan is rich, but he is definitely not rich enough to be rich in the world.
Then why are other wealthy businessmen not as miserable as Lu Yuan...
Isn't that because Lu Yuan is not from the Zhou Dynasty?
Isn't that because Lu Yuan is a person who has traveled through time?
The rich people here think that if they can eat white flour steamed buns with every meal, that is a good life, and they are satisfied.
And as a modern person on earth, how could this kind of thing satisfy Lu Yuan?
As for spending money to buy antiques and so on...
Besides wasting money, Lu Yuan didn't like those clichéd things at all.
Otherwise, Lu Yuan wouldn't be able to sell the things in his third uncle's house.
Therefore, Lu Yuan is not from this world, so his thoughts are naturally different from this world.
Others think that being able to eat white flour steamed buns with every meal is a very good life.
But for Lu Yuan, this is just the most basic requirement.
What Lu Yuan wants is a modern life like on earth.
Of course, this is a bit difficult to achieve, but I want to get as close as possible.
At the very least, you have to eat whatever you want in winter. If you want to eat some southern food, just eat some southern food instead of just eating cabbage and potatoes, right?
And if Lu Yuan gets the steam turbine.
Let’s not talk about what inspiration the steam turbine can give to the Zhou Dynasty and the future. Is it possible for others to use this steam turbine to advance to a gas turbine or a fuel turbine?
But at least, if Lu Yuan and his wife want to eat some fruits from the south in the future, wouldn't they just grab them with their hands?
In ancient times, when Madam Yang wanted to eat a lychee, she had to hurry up and her horse would have to go quickly. People would stop their horses along the way for thousands of miles.
But with the small train of Wuwuwujiji, Wuwuwujiji, it can be transported from the south to the imperial city in a few days.
The key is that you can pull a lot of things.
How much manpower and material resources can be left?
From now on, what do you want to eat in the Imperial City in the winter? Isn’t that just casual eating?
The price won't be too expensive either.
Why did Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty open the North-South Grand Canal?
For what?
Are you really going to Jiangnan to see the beauties?
Lu Yuan didn't believe it.
Anyway, Lu Yuan had made up his mind to look at this steam turbine when he got home tonight.
But this time...
Lu Yuan no longer plans to do it in the forging bureau.
In this case……
All the credit has been shared.
Although Lu Yuan is not very picky, hey, for such a powerful thing, in the end, the reward will only be three hundred or five hundred yuan.
Then Lu Yuan was really a little unhappy.
Speaking of which, Lu Yuan's last yield per mu was 2,500 kilograms, and he will be rewarded with 3,000 kilograms of potatoes.
This matter must have alarmed God.
Lu Yuan felt that he was very likely to meet Master Tian this time. This time he would meet Master Tian.
Lu Yuan was taking out the steam engine.
At that time, the master will not reward me with eight thousand yuan that day?
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
What Lu Yuan wants is not Wan'er Baqian.
Lu Yuan wants more...
that is……
There are no patents in this world, which makes Lu Yuan very unhappy!
The bike Lu Yuan got last time was so popular!
Take a look at this. Now in the imperial city, it is basically a must-have for every household.
If you have money, you must buy a bicycle first.
If you don’t have money, save up and buy a bicycle.
But after Lu Yuan invented the bicycle.
Only a few hundred dollars were awarded.
Director Xu tried his best to get an advanced award for Lu Yuan and added it to Lu Yuan.
Otherwise it's three hundred dollars.
Not one more point.
This bike sells so well.
How much money has been added to the treasury because of this bicycle?
As a result, Lu Yuan only had the few hundred dollars.
This really made Lu Yuan unhappy.
Lu Yuan felt that if he had the chance to meet Master Tian.
I might as well mention this patent.
After all... Lu Yuan also has a valid reason!
Every time I come up with such a great invention, I only reward it with a few hundred yuan.
What a shock to people's enthusiasm.
If there is a patent, as long as people invent something truly useful, they can live a lifetime of food and clothing.
How many people need to participate?
Isn’t this a good thing for the Zhou Dynasty?
So, Lu Yuan really doesn’t want to get more money, Lu Yuan wants to do it for the entire Great Zhou Dynasty~
Anyway, Lu Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with him.
Speaking of this, Lu Yuan thought of another thing.
The father of AK was extremely great. He designed such a successful rifle, but he was completely dedicated to it. He didn't need any patent fees at all and lived in poverty all his life.
The father of the M16 became rich overnight with this rifle, earning hundreds of millions of dollars in patent fees every year.
Putting these two people together, everyone would give a thumbs up to the father of AK for his great ideals, but...
Lu Yuan thinks that more people may want to be the father of M16.
Anyway, after Lu Yuan handed the steam turbine to the current Lord Tian, Lu Yuan would talk about this matter.
There is no reason for the master to disagree today, right?
…
Soon, everyone arrived at the department store.
Lu Yuan chose Wanqin watches of the same color for himself and his wife, which looked like a couple's watch.
Lu Yuan wanted to buy a piece for Su Changliang.
But Su Changliang refused to give it up. He said he wanted to buy it himself.
If you want to buy it for Gu Lie, Gu Lie doesn't want it.
Because as a general, the army is issued pocket watches.
As for... when Lu Yuan wanted to buy a piece for Gu Qingwan.
But Gu Qingwan stretched out her hand slightly, and there was already an exquisite ladies' watch on her snow-white wrist.
Hey, you save money~
After shopping in the department store.
Everyone went to the market to buy meat, vegetables, and whatever they could.
There's a big party at home tonight!
By the time I got home, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
It's almost time to put away the dishes and so on.
Gu Qingwan and Su Liyan were holding basins and small stakes in the main hall, guarding the warm wall, talking and laughing while choosing vegetables.
But Gu Lie and Su Changliang were still complaining.
There was a lot of fuss.
As for Lu Yuan, he would take out "Ingenuity" when he got home and start reading the page about steam turbines.
Lu Yuan looked fascinated.
It didn't take long to get stuck in.
Su Liyan, who was picking vegetables, soon found her man sitting in the main hall reading a book very seriously.
The cigarettes in my hand really didn't stop one by one.
Seeing this, Su Liyan blinked.
Then he quickly walked to Su Changliang and Gu Lie on the opposite side.
At this time, Su Changliang didn't know what he was saying to Gu Lie and was laughing.
However, Su Liyan just grabbed Su Changliang's ears and twisted them.
Afterwards, Su Changliang took a breath of cold air and said with a look of pain on his face:
"What are you doing!!"
Su Liyan raised her eyebrows and said:
"You can't see what your brother-in-law is doing, right? He's still making such a loud noise. If you want to make a fuss, go out and make a fuss, not at home."
Su Liyan is still very gentle.
Although he was grabbing Su Changliang's ears, he didn't use much force.
In addition, Su Liyan's voice was soft and waxy, so even when she spoke when she was angry, she was still gentle and gentle.
But... Gu Qingwan is different.
At this time, Gu Qingwan also walked over, kicked Gu Lie on the thigh, glared and scolded in a low voice:
"Get out!"
This Gu Lie was not afraid of his sister in general, so he opened the door and ran out with a whoosh.
Su Changliang also quickly followed out.
Suddenly, the room became quiet.
Su Liyan and Gu Qingwan quietly returned to the distance. After sitting down, they always spoke into each other's ears.
Time beats minute by minute.
It was only during dinner in the evening that Lu Yuan put down the "Craftsmanship" in his hand.
This dinner in the evening, because I couldn't drink alcohol, or in other words, I could only take a sip or two, so I ate quickly.
Don't look at a table full of food.
But everyone is young, even Lu Yuan is only three or four years older than Su Changliang and Gu Lie.
Men of this age are actually not particularly good at chatting at the wine table.
Generally, people eat with their heads down at the table.
It's not like some elderly people, who can eat a few peanuts and two bottles of Sanluzi for a whole night.
By the time Lu Yuan and the five of them finished eating, it was actually only half past seven in the evening.
Gu Lie and Gu Qingwan were not in a hurry to go back.
Prepare to play here for an hour or two before going back.
Lu Yuan continued reading after eating.
Su Liyan turned on the sewing machine and prepared to sew some small clothes for the baby in her belly.
This seems very early.
But it’s actually not too early. Some things need to be prepared in advance.
Moreover, for Su Liyan, this is just like serving her own man, it is a very happy thing~
Su Liyan wouldn't think this was a living thing.
After Gu Qingwan finished washing the dishes outside, she returned to the house and looked at Lu Yuan who was still reading. She couldn't help but come over curiously.
Speaking of which, this was the first time for Gu Qingwan to see Lu Yuan so quiet.
Lu Yuan has been reading a book since he came back around three o'clock in the afternoon without saying a word.
I continued after eating.
This made Gu Qingwan very curious, was Lu Yuan planning to invent something else?
Gu Qingwan wiped her hands with a towel and came to Lu Yuan's side curiously.
After Lu Yuan saw Gu Qingwan next to him from the corner of his eye, he raised his eyebrows and said:
"What's wrong?"
Gu Qingwan was stunned and said directly:
"No, I'm just curious about what you are doing. You have been silent since I came back in the afternoon and have been reading a book.
What invention are you going to make? "
Lu Yuan continued to look at the "Ingenuity" in his hand and said:
"Why should I tell you?"
Gu Qingwan pursed her lips slightly and said unhappily:
"Why don't you say it nicely when you talk to me? I didn't recruit you."
Lu Yuan looked at Gu Qingwan's aggrieved look and said with amusement:
"I won't say anything nice."
"Obviously it's you who didn't say it nicely and didn't call me brother."
Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan in front of her and was speechless for a while.
This little guy is obviously much younger than me, yet he still insists on calling him brother again and again.
But...that's all...
Just let this little thing go for once...
Immediately, Gu Qingwan said softly:
"Okay, brother, what are you doing? Can you tell your sister?"
Seeing Gu Qingwan like this, Lu Yuan grinned, then put down the "Ingenuity" in his hand and said proudly:
"Do you think there is a car in the world that can run 70 or 80 kilometers an hour when empty?"
car?
Gu Qingwan blinked. A horse can run twenty or thirty kilometers in an hour, right?
However, this thing shouldn’t be difficult to get, right?
Just pile up a lot of spiritual power cores.
Just when Gu Qingwan thought this, Lu Yuan immediately added:
"It is not driven by spiritual cores, but by coal."
ha?
Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan in confusion.
Using coal to power cars?
What is this talking about...
Is it possible that if you put a stove behind the carriage, the horse will run wild if it feels hot?
Before Gu Qingwan came back to her senses, Lu Yuan shook his head and continued to say proudly:
“And this car can pull tens of thousands of tons as long as there are enough coal pipes.
Can you drive at a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour? "
Gu Qingwan was stunned.
"Drawing...tens of thousands of tons of cargo??
You...you're talking about tens of thousands of pounds, right? "
Lu Yuan grinned extremely proudly and said:
"You heard it right, it's tens of thousands of tons, not tens of thousands of kilograms!"
"Ten thousand kilograms is only five tons, so what's so great about it?"
And look at Lu Yuan's expression now and listen to what Lu Yuan said.
Gu Qingwan was completely confused. Is there such a magical thing in this world? !
Gu Qingwan stuttered and looked at Lu Yuan and said:
"No...there's no such car, right?"
Lu Yuan chuckled and said:
"Well, it didn't happen before, but now it does."
Done~
