Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, and then put his hands on the desk.

He turned the cylinder upside down and looked at it carefully for a long time.

When erecting the cylinder, open the top plug and take advantage of the sunlight to take a look around.

At first glance, it is exactly what Shen Kuo said. Although it looks smooth at first glance, if you look carefully, you can still see many potholes and uneven places.

And the dozen or so fine bubbles at the bottom also made Zhao Ji very worried about the quality of this thing.

You must know that a very important part of a steam engine is the cylinder.

If the cylinder is not tightly sealed or cannot withstand high pressure when the steam engine is working.

At the very least, the steam engine produced had very little power and could not be used as the main driving force of the tank.

At worst, it might explode immediately and scrap the entire steam engine.

Because of this, when Zhao Ji asked Shen Kuo to make this thing, he was so careful and strict about the technical requirements and details.

After staring at the cylinder for a long time, Zhao Ji just sighed helplessly:

"Shen Aiqing, it would be great if you could help me make this thing."

"After all, you have never made anything similar before."

"But the issues about the bubbles and the smoothness of the cavity cannot be ignored."

"This time, I will give you more time, a month or even two months will do."

"So that you can unite with your craftsmen to completely overcome those two technical problems."

"If you have any difficulties during this period, you can come to me directly."

"I will help you balance the scheduling between various departments."

For some reason, Shen Kuo felt a little strange about Zhao Ji in front of him today.

Because according to his idea, this thing is just a toy. Does it need to be so realistic in the details?

Or maybe what Zhao Ji asked him to do this time was not a so-called plaything at all?

When Shen Kuo thought of this, he couldn't help but be startled by the bold idea in his heart.

……

In the next few days, neither Zhao Ji's sister-in-law nor the extremely responsible Shen Kuo came to find Zhao Ji.

This can't help but make Zhao Ji's burden a lot lighter.

Every day, he was either chatting with Liu Xiangning about love and the secrets of the boudoir, or he was sitting in the study room, pondering the three secret books.

Although the Six Meridians Divine Sword is the most powerful, it also has certain defensive capabilities.

But Zhao Ji always felt that this sword technique was sometimes effective and sometimes not effective.

Just like that day.

Although he could use two fingers to break the long sword in his sister's hand in an instant.

But after that incident, he discovered that this trick seemed to have failed.

No matter how I use it, I can't use it.

I thought that with this indicator, he could at least smash a rock on the rockery that was bigger than a fist.

But the reality is...

Every time Zhao Ji wanders near the rockery, he always wants to poke two fingers.

But every time he poked it, the stone on the rockery not only showed no signs of being broken, but instead made his finger red and swollen.

It almost broke on the spot.

This can't help but make Zhao Ji love and hate the Six Meridians Divine Sword, which is a unique skill in this world.

In my heart, I was even more confused.

On the contrary, Zhao Ji felt particularly happy when he was flipping through the book "Secret Techniques of Fusang Boudoir".

Because this secret book not only has text introduction, but also illustrations.

This allowed Zhao Ji to make extremely rapid progress when practicing this method.

Only a few days had passed, and he had already learned all the above moves and techniques.

……

If we say that before Gao Yanei fell in love with Lin Chong's wife, then Lin Chong's life was always on the road to spring.

So, after Gao Yanei fell in love with Lady Lin, Lin Chong's daily life was almost in dire straits.

Not long after Lin Chong "accidentally" broke into the White Tiger Festival Hall, he was thrown gorgeously into the Dali Temple by Gao Yanei's old godfather Gao Qiu, to be with the kind of teacher.

Although Lin Chong felt helpless in his heart, he could be locked up with the old general he respected, chatting and sighing about life every day.

It seems that life is not so bad that it is unbearable.

But not long after, Lin Chong was sent to Cangzhou, hundreds of miles away.

Lin Chong looked at the endless road ahead, and then looked at the two officers escorting him.

Suddenly, I had mixed feelings in my heart.

If only I had not asked my wife to go to Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense or worship Buddha.

If only I could have listened to the young master's advice, resigned from my official position, and led my family to leave the capital to live.

If only I had not been so naive holding the sword and entering the White Tiger Festival Hall.

If only...

Ugh……

The blood blisters under my feet were all caused by me.

But who can you blame?

I just don’t know what my wife will do now that I’m gone.

It really makes me miss you so much.

In this case, I can only count on my brother Naruda to take good care of it.

Along the way, Lin Chong was also extremely polite to the two officials.

But the two officials didn't care about that. Since they had received the money, they must do things for the master.

Otherwise, when the two of them go back, they will probably have to move their heads.

When passing by a mountainside restaurant, the two officials very thoughtfully boiled a pot of water for Lin Chong.

The purpose was to let Lin Chong have his feet heated so that he could walk faster tomorrow.

Lin Chong was a simple man, and he treated the two of them well along the way.

So at this moment, there is no doubt about him.

However, from the moment he put his feet into the footbath, he regretted it.

After that, although Lin Chong reacted quickly, he used his brute strength to break free from the restraints of the two tolerants and kicked the basin of boiling hot foot-washing water away.

But it also caused countless red and swollen blisters on his feet.

Lin Chong felt this hatred in his heart.

But if he suddenly rebels at this time, he and his wife will never see each other again.

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to endure the anger first.

But just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly thought of someone.

I thought of that young man I met at the gate of Gaofu Yamen.

While his heart was trembling, he suddenly lowered his head and saw his feet which were burned and covered with blood blisters.

Unable to help himself, he began to mutter to himself:

"When you meet Dong, you get bad luck; when you meet Xue Jiao, you are ruined."

"Is it possible that the two gentlemen escorting me are one named Dong and the other Xue?"

"If this is the case, that young master's divine arithmetic skills have truly reached the pinnacle."
