I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 142
"One two one, one two one, one two three four!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch~"

Before approaching the construction site, from far away, I heard bursts of mighty and majestic chant.

If you can listen to people, you will be very good.

Especially Anna and Catherine, mother and daughter who had never seen a large-scale construction site, opened their eyes on horseback and looked into the distance with curious expressions on their faces.

The "construction team" of the students of the Ming Dynasty had already prepared all kinds of new equipment, and quickly moved the giant wood in the distance by using the "slide" that had just been repaired. Hole, making a variety of handling tools.

Seven or eight infrastructure teams of 500 people are quickly transporting the nearby gravel and soil, dumping them on the coastline to the place where the Sakhalin Mountains were blown up, laying a smooth transportation channel.

More than a dozen crushing teams of 500 people chanted neatly and waved the big hammer in their hands, breaking the rocks into large pieces as tall as a person.

Then, in the sound of uniform chants, the broken rocks are rolled into the slope channel.

With a 'plop' sound, it fell into the sea water.

What is particularly eye-catching is that on a very far hillside, above a row of kilns with dozens of holes, the flames are blazing, and the cement has already started to be fired.

Song Yingxing was lucky, and found a large amount of limestone on the island...

……

"Husband, this scene is a bit grand."

Sitting on the horseback, Anna shouted to Zhu Youjian excitedly: "My lord, after you have dealt with Daming's enemies, you must build us a bigger castle on the banks of the Volga River!"

"Husband, don't break your promise!"

Zhu Youjian said with a smile: "What's yours is mine, why should you divide it?"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely build a St. Anna's Catherine Castle. By then, you'll have to work hard to give me a few sons and grandsons, haha!"

"Hmph, what a beautiful thought!"

"drive!"

The second daughter flattered the horse and galloped towards the construction site.

Zhu Youjian squinted his eyes halfway, watching with relish, and once again sighed that "you can't have both", and let the war horse walk slowly under his crotch.

"Long Live Lord, why did you come to the construction site?" Seeing the idiot emperor approaching, Cao Wenzhao ran over quickly and said in a loud voice, "This place is dusty and messy, please invite Long Live Lord..."

"It's okay, it's rare for me to be free, so come and have a look." Zhu Youjian said with a smile, "Go and do your work, don't worry about me."

Cao Wenzhao persuaded him several times, but Zhu Youjian just smiled.

What is this suffering?In those days, there were countless people coming and going in the wind and rain, and three of the little electric donkeys under my crotch collapsed by Qi Ri!

Walking slowly to the edge of a transport slide, Zhu Youjian fell into deep thought.

If there are forklifts, excavators, forklifts and crushers, what is so difficult about a cross-sea road?
'It would be great if I could reward a copy of internal combustion engine or generator for the next upgrade...'

'Forget it, how the steel is tempered this time is already too much. '

'I just don't know if Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing and the others can make fine steel. '

"Call Song Yingxing over here, I have something to say." Zhu Youjian ordered casually, and Wei Zhongxian went to Zhang Luo with small steps.

Emperor Chongzhen was simply a big fool, such a good tool man, he didn't make full use of it, and he was forced to death?
"Long live, are you calling me? What's the matter?"

Song Yingxing has always been honest and honest, with black and gray all over his head and face, somewhat dissatisfied with the emperor's interruption.

Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhu Youjian knew that he was rejected.

"Hehe, Song Aiqing, just now I suddenly thought of an idea, which should speed up the progress of rock breaking." The idiot emperor pondered a few times before laughing:

"I see that those people use hammers to break rocks, and the progress is very slow. If you can heat the rocks with flames or something, and then pour cold water on them, the internal structure of the rocks will be destroyed, and it will be much easier to break."

Song Yingxing gave an 'hmm' and said, "Long Live Lord's words are on point."

"Weichen discovered this phenomenon in the process of firing cement, so he has asked students to design and make flamethrowers and water pumps."

"More than a hundred miles away from here, a river was found. The water quality is very poor. The whole thing is a sticky black color and emits a pungent smell."

"The local savages call it the Black Stinky River."

"After Weichen heard about it, he was suspicious, so he led the students to explore, but found that there was a black sticky substance mixed in the water flowing out of that place, which should be recorded in the Song Dynasty's "Mengxi Bi Tan". of oil..."

Zhu Youjian: "..."

This is a bit good to be a teacher.

Instructing work in front of a top student like Song Yingxing, the risk of being taught is too high. In the future, it is better to talk less and ride more...

"It should be oil," Zhu Youjian said pleasantly, "If that thing is separated and refined, and used reasonably, it can push our Ming Dynasty's productivity forward by 200 years!"

Originally, he wanted to say a few words about the design principles of internal combustion engines, so that Song Yingxing could use them as a research reference.

but.After thinking about it, forget it.

My half bottle of water made a rattling sound when I shook it, and when I poured it out, I felt a little powerless, so let it be.

Maybe Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing are already thinking about how to exploit and utilize oil resources?

"That's right, Lord Long Live, I have collected some water from the Black Smelly River and tested it repeatedly with Mr. Xu Guangqi. It is indeed a sticky substance similar to paraffin, which is easy to ignite."

"So, we are organizing manpower to explore and sample that area, and Weichen has sent a drilling team to conduct deep well drilling in that area;

If you can collect a large amount, you can find a way to carry out preliminary separation and refinement. "

"Also, Mr. Xu Guangqi once imagined whether our steam turbines can use oil as fuel..."

Zhu Youjian laughed out loud, very pleased with himself.

Look, luckily I didn't guide others, otherwise, I would be slapped in the face by this great scientist again...

……

While talking, suddenly, several teams of Daming students in the distance pushed over dozens of large wooden barrels on a large cart.

Whether it's people, wooden barrels, or carts, they are all so black that they can't see their original appearance.

"Long live, it's the students from the drilling team!"

"It seems that they have gained a lot!"

Song Yingxing was as excited as a child, grabbed the arm of the idiot emperor Zhu Youjian, and ran towards the group of students, while running, he said anxiously: "Hurry up, go and see what's new."

Zhu Youjian looked helpless, and at the same time, he liked this great scientist from the bottom of his heart.

This is like a real scientist.

In front of oil, the emperor is nothing!
"Long live, spray it, spray it!"

"Spray, teacher, that blowout!"

From afar, the students cheered loudly, waving their dog fur hats at the two, showing their white teeth, like a group of blind men who just got out of a coal pit.

"Why, did the oil really come out?"

Zhu Youjian was ecstatic.

This is really a surprise.
