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

Chapter 158 Must be equipped with a suit......

Before the second batch of Shandong people who "passed through the Guandong" arrived, green seedlings appeared in the first batch of reclaimed wasteland.

Good news soon came from Song Yingxing's Daming Academy.

After dozens of days and nights of hard work, the transformation of the second-generation steam engine is complete!
This news lifted the spirits of the idiot emperor Zhu Youjian.

Because the completion of the design and transformation of the second-generation steam engine means that steam engines will be widely used in a wider range of fields, such as mines, water conservancy projects, and railway construction.

"Then build a railway from Kuwu Island to Youjian Castle No. 1, and run through the communication line between these two military fortresses!"

"Make sure that once Youjian 1 Castle is attacked, the heavily armored iron army on Kuwu Island must arrive within an hour."

With Zhu Youjian's order, the first railway in Liaodong started to be built vigorously.

Zhu Youjian handed over the dozens of acres of fertile farmland he had reclaimed by himself to Cao Wenzhao's reclamation group. He led Anna and Catherine to the railway construction site under the secret guard of hundreds of master guards.

It's not that he's worried about the quality of the project, he's simply too idle.

As the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian's main task is to prodigal, keep prodigal, spread a lot of money and food, build large-scale construction projects, and waste money and people...

Instead of opening up wasteland and farming, engaging in scientific research and other 'trivial things'.

He knew this very well.

Zhu Youjian led two foreign women, looking east and west, looking idly, leaving Xu Guangqi, Cao Wenzhao, Song Yingxing and others who accompanied the 'visit' quite speechless.

Land reclamation regiment, infrastructure regiment, militia regiment, transportation regiment, scientific expedition regiment... plus a 'harem regiment' of the idiot emperor.

Zhu Youjian reorganized all "work units", which seems to be more efficient than the previous Weisuo system.

According to him, after the food problem of the Ming Dynasty is completely resolved, he will do a big job...

……

"The foundation needs to be handled well, and the special conditions in the alpine region must be taken into consideration. Don't complete a tofu project. The train has not yet passed, and the road will be scrapped as a result.

That is a sin, a crime, and shame on the ancestors! "

"The waterproof layer must be done well. Now that we don't have plastic, we can find a way to get some oilcloth instead."

"The operation, entry, exit, and marshalling of trains must be controlled by a strict dispatching command system, and related monitoring and signaling equipment must be carefully maintained by specialized railway and electrical departments..."

As he spoke, the idiot emperor's voice dropped.

With Daming's current technological level, many things are simply difficult to achieve.

"I'm just talking about these details casually, and it's a suggestion for you." Zhu Youjian pondered a few times, and said in a deep voice: "The specific construction method is your business.

What I want is a military channel.

This railway will eventually reach Shengjing, pass through the Shanhaiguan Pass, arrive at the capital, and go straight to the northwest border, southeast coast, Taiwan-Pengzhou Strait and southwest.

My food, supplies, and millions of iron troops are going to pass through this passage, and put cannons directly on other people's noses! "

When Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, and Cao Wenzhao heard the words, their spirits were lifted immediately.

Especially the old minister Xu Guangqi, with gray temples, with tears shining in his eyes looking to the south.

Ming ZTE is just around the corner.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers will definitely build this military passage, making it a sharp sword in your Majesty's hands, invincible!"

Xu Guangqi solemnly clasped his fists and said in a deep voice.

"You do things, I don't worry."

Zhu Youjian reached out and patted the plump buttocks of the foreign woman Anna, but stared at Catherine, laughed loudly and said, "Just ask how much food you need.

Even if I sell the Forbidden City, I still have to repair the railway and go straight to Huanglong! "

The foreign mother-in-law Anna and Catherine, mother and daughter smiled sweetly, leaned over, and supported the idiot emperor from left to right, with expressions of admiration and admiration on their faces.

Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, Cao Wenzhao and the others could only shake their heads and smile wryly, not daring to laugh out loud.

Our idiot emperor is quite tough.

"Let Cao Wenzhao take care of the rest. Xu Aiqing, Song Aiqing, let's go back to Kuwu Island."

"I have a new idea, and I want to study it with two great scientists."

After "inspecting" the railway construction site, Zhu Youjian returned to Kuwu Island, settled the two foreign women, and took two great scientists to hide in the big wooden house, and began to study the "new thing".

"Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, this research is my Ming Dynasty's top secret."

"Therefore, I will back off from the left and right, and only discuss with you two. You two must know the importance of the matter."

The idiot emperor was always laughing and joking, which made Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing feel very unreliable.

It's rare to see him doing something seriously, so it can be seen that what he said next must involve important things, so the two great scientists hurriedly got up, bowed and said: "This humble minister must strictly keep secrets!"

Only then did Zhu Youjian wave his hand and let the two sit down.

"Originally, I thought that the blueprint of this invention, the system... ahem, I thought it should be a matter of course, and you will figure it out sooner or later.

It's a pity that time doesn't wait for me.

It is imperative to vigorously develop railway transportation and improve our Daming's mining and transportation capabilities. Therefore, I implore the two great scientists to work together to give us a whole set of new gadgets.

When the train is completed and the railway is completed, it must be equipped with a cover. "

"Your Majesty, please pass on the decree, and I will fulfill my mission!" Xu Guangqi said seriously.

Zhu Youjian pondered a few times, stood up, walked to the large pine table by the window, spread out a piece of nine-foot rice paper, and said with a smile, "Come on, I will draw a design drawing for you."

Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing hurried forward.

"With electricity, it's really convenient."

"Therefore, what I need you to invent and manufacture is this generator."

While thinking about it, Zhu Youjian grabbed the brush and began to "draw" with trembling, stator, rotor, bearing, slip ring, fan, magnet, coil...

One stroke at a time, meticulous in every detail.

A nine-foot large Xuan painting was full, and Zhu Youjian was still painting while holding the brush.

Xu Guangqi quickly fetched a brand new piece of rice paper, spread it carefully on the table, and helped the idiot emperor grind the ink and moisten the water with his own hands.

Huh, it's finally done.

Zhu Youjian held the brush, let out a long breath, looked at his 'masterpiece', looked quite satisfied, and said with a smile: "You two lovers, the design drawing of my generator set is not bad. OK?"

The two great scientists, Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing, suppressed their smiles, nodded repeatedly, and said in unison: "Well, very good, very good!"

Zhu Youjian laughed, dropped the brush casually, pointed at the noses of the two scientists and cursed: "You two are too good at flattering, haha.

In this regard, Wei Zhongxian is a professional.

From now on, if the two of you want to be high-ranking officials, if you want to be in the officialdom of Daming, you have to learn from them. "

The three clapped their hands and laughed.
