Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Although the Xu family is not a big family, there are several officials of the fourth and fifth ranks in the family. Naturally, they are well-informed. They naturally know that His Highness King Qin is not a useless vassal prince with no power, but a real prince with real power.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to know that Xu Bowen was called by His Royal Highness King Qin and brought him to Korea to take charge of the new project, although Xu Bowen couldn't tell his family what he was doing now.

But the official status and financial rewards he got back before are enough to make the family ecstatic. Although they don't know what they are doing, they all understand the truth in the officialdom, and the more they can't talk about it, the more important it is.

Now that he was personally called by King Qin to go to Korea, that must be a good thing.

Zhang Nuo also has a very good impression of Xu Bowen, mainly because he not only has a foundation in mathematics, language and characters, but also has knowledge that ordinary craftsmen do not have, and more importantly, he has always maintained his interest.

These points add up to be very rare.

In Zhang Nuo's view, scientific research cannot last long if it is driven solely by profit. After all, it might be enough to feed one day, so wouldn't it lose the motivation to move forward?

Only interest and exuberant curiosity can drive people forward. Xu Bowen is undoubtedly very good in this respect, so Zhang Nuo is not hesitating to train him well, and at the same time, he also wants to see if something can happen to him. The miracle he wanted to see!

Chapter 512 Technical Verification of Research Institute

When Zhang Nuo saw Xu Bowen, he was really not in a good condition. Not to mention his whole body was in a mess, and there were stains all over his body.

But Zhang Nuo was no stranger to this behavior, not only Xu Bowen, but almost everyone in the scientific research area basically looked like this when they were busy with work.

Zhang Nuo was not polite to them, and directly spoke,

"Old Xu, I'll come over to see how you are doing here, do you have any idea?"

Zhang Nuo has always been like this. He always uses various very casual names for people he is familiar with. As long as you don't speak out against it, you will never change it.

But this also has an advantage, that is, people can quickly get acquainted with each other.

At least Xu Bowen feels a lot more comfortable when he hears His Royal Highness King Qin call Lao Xu. This is His Highness, and he is always approachable.

However, this is not the time to sigh. His Highness King Qin is still waiting to talk about work, so Xu Bowen hastily restrained his mind and began to answer seriously.

"Your Highness, at present, we are actually not in a hurry to start the steam engine you mentioned, but plan to verify it first!"

Hearing this, Zhang Nuo smiled. He is indeed a scientific researcher. Regardless of your background, when you come across something you are interested in, you have to verify it yourself before it is reliable.

However, Zhang Nuo feels that this kind of spirit is appropriate. At present, craftsmen are more accustomed to the mode of doing whatever the master or Shangguan tells them to do.

After all, for them, before invention and creation was a very distant thing, now with Zhang Nuo's spare no effort to promote it, it is a little bit better.

However, for people like Xu Bowen, they really look like scientific researchers. For unknown knowledge, what they want to do is not just like an ordinary craftsman and start to figure out how to make it.

Instead, explore and study the principles and subsequent derivatives.

In fact, from a practical point of view, this kind of thing is obviously thankless. After all, no matter how much they study, they will definitely have to make things according to Zhang Nuo's drawings in the end, but time and energy are wasted in vain.

However, in the long run, this spirit of exploration is very useful.

Because once they really understand the principles of steam engines, they will not be limited to the existing drawings, they can start to derive from the existing basis, large-scale, small-scale, special-shaped and other variants will appear.

Obviously, for Zhang Nuo, the steam engine must be spread to every corner, so in fact, what Xu Bowen and others are doing now is what they will do sooner or later.

After all, if you don't have a thorough understanding of the relevant theories, Zhang Nuolai will have to provide blueprints for subsequent development. At the same time, the feeling of poking and moving is too uncomfortable.

Seeing that Zhang Nuo expressed no objection to the current situation, Xu Bowen finally heaved a sigh of relief. Don't blame him, he is really scared!

He is not a craftsman who can be happy for a long time just by giving a small amount of money. He really grew up in a family of officials and worked in the Ministry of Industry. Of course, he knows the concept of King Qin's majesty.

That is to say, His Royal Highness Qin Wang is easy to talk, and he didn't do too much, otherwise, his head would have dropped to the ground at this moment.

However, with the support of His Royal Highness King Qin, it will be easy!

Xu Bowen actually started some technical verification tests before Zhang Nuo came, and Zhang Nuo didn't mind these, and just followed Xu Bowen in.

The current scientific research area is naturally not as good as the old scientific research area in Lantian City, which has been developed for a long time. It is the most suitable place for scientific research in Tang Dynasty and even on earth.

However, Xu Bowen has been here for a few days, and with no shortage of people or space, he still specializes in the machinery industry, so it is much easier to make some simple preparations.

So when Zhang Nuo walked in, he really looked like this place.

In the middle of the yard is a large black iron pot, which is being set on the fire and burned vigorously, and there are some messy things such as pipes attached to the pot.

As the manager here, Xu Bowen naturally took over the task of explaining, and said seriously,

"Your Highness, what we are currently testing here is to calculate as much as possible the power of this steam. After all, the blueprint you gave only mentioned how to make this steam engine and its principle, but in the end we don't have a specific one. impression!"

"Xiaguan's idea is to directly use this tank to replace the steam cylinder in the drawing, and the outlet represents the power output. I want to test how much power such a small tank can generate!"

Zhang Nuo watched with a strange expression as a group of craftsmen took out one thing after another and started tossing, and then slowly assembled something that left him speechless.

If he read it correctly, it looks like it might be the steam cannon in some kind of steampunk civilization in a certain cartoon he watched when he was a child, right?

The principle of this thing is actually shockingly simple, it is nothing more than using the pressure of steam expansion to push the projectile.

But the point is, how did this group of craftsmen, who have only been exposed to steam engines for a few days, come up with such a method and use it to test the power of the steam engine?

However, Zhang Nuo claims that he is not a scientific research talent, he is just a hooker who relies on cheating to get by, so it is better not to talk about this kind of serious scientific experiment.

Not long after, a whistle on the jar suddenly sounded sharply, and then the second and third whistles sounded one after another.

Before Zhang Nuo could figure it out, Xu Bowen waved his hand decisively. Immediately, a craftsman moved down a handle connected to the cannon barrel, and then there was a loud bang, and he saw an extra gun on the opposite wall. Cracks like spider webs.

At the same time, the screaming sound of steam gushing out from the gun barrel continued.

Xu Bowen was not in the mood to talk to Zhang Nuo at the moment, he waved his hands excitedly, and said loudly,

"One catty is already successful, let's try five catties!"
