I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty
Chapter 170： Steam boat
Wu Changqing\'s emphasis on science and technology far exceeds that of contemporary Western Europe.
Although Western Europeans in this period also valued natural sciences, they lacked the motivation to promote the development of science and technology. It was not until the Industrial Revolution that businessmen noticed that inventions and creations could save costs significantly, and then they began to vigorously subsidize those who made inventions and creations.
Its temptation is far inferior to the conditions Wu Changqing has offered now.
Not only is there a patent law to protect their monetary gains, there are also titles to let them enjoy honors and privileges.
Inspired by this double temptation, many university students have begun to devote themselves to the field of research and invention.
Some people are studying new lighting tools, some are studying new printing technologies, some are studying the laws of the sun and the moon, and some are even studying flying tools and immortality.
Some people have the right direction, and some people\'s research direction is a pitfall.
But it doesn\'t matter, as long as they are willing to study, they can gain experience even if they fail.
Knowing that someone was studying immortality, Wu Changqing didn\'t stop him, lest he hurt the other person\'s confidence and imprison other people\'s thoughts.
Although it is outrageous to study immortality, in the eyes of ordinary people, studying flying tools is also outrageous, and it is similar to studying immortality.
To invent and create is to think about what other people dare not think about.
The probability of immortality cannot be researched, but it would be good if one or two new medicines for the treatment of diseases are developed during the research process.
You know, gunpowder was accidentally discovered by Taoists while studying immortality.
Crossing the river wharf, a small boat docked, and an elderly man with extraordinary temperament came down from the boat.
If Ruan Dacheng and other officials were here, he would be recognized at a glance, and he would be Qian Qianyi, the famous leader of the Donglin Party.
In history, after Qian Qianyi surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was not reused and was arranged to compile the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Unwilling to reconcile, he then began to hook up with the anti-Qing forces in the south, trying to overthrow the Manchu.
He is also a layman who has no position and only cares about his own power.
Now, with the arrival of Wu Changqing, history has undergone tremendous changes.
At this time, the Qing Dynasty had already captured Hangzhou and was about to annihilate the Lu and Longwu regimes, completing the initial reunification of China.
However, now because of Wu Changqing\'s existence, not only did the Qing army fail to exterminate King Lu, it even lost a large area in the south of the Yangtze River. To the south of the Yangtze River, only parts of northwestern Jiangxi and Anhui were still controlled by the Qing army.
Under these circumstances, the Manchu Qing court naturally did not have any intentions to compile Ming History. Daming was still alive and well. At this time, compiling Ming History was deceiving oneself.
Without repairing the Ming History, Qian Qianyi was forgotten by the Man Qing Dynasty, and he did not arrange any positions with real power for Qian Qianyi, which made Qian Qianyi depressed and unwilling.
In the Hongguang period, he was a book of rituals in the south, the leader of the Donglin Party, whoever met him was not respectful.
And in the end, he brought two hundred thousand army and hundreds of officials of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to surrender without a fight, which is also particularly great for the Qing Dynasty.
He originally thought that relying on his contribution to the city, even if he could not achieve Hong Chengchou in the Manchu Qing court, he would at least not be too bad.
Who knows, Man Qing doesn\'t look down on him at all.
The reason for this is unknown.
Qian Qianyi, who was frustrated in his official career, was lost, but at this time, he heard the news of Wu Changqing\'s rise and the news that Nanjing was conquered by Wu Changqing.
As an old fritters in officialdom, he saw an opportunity again.
So he ventured out of surveillance and secretly returned to Nanjing from the north, hoping to find a job.
He inquired that in the current civil service system in Nanjing, Gu Yanwu had the most power to speak, and he was also a member of the Donglin Party. Qian Qianyi felt that he was once the leader of the Donglin Party somehow, and he should be able to get some respect when he went to Gu Yanwu.
As soon as he got off the boat, Qian Qianyi was too late to sigh, and he found a group of people not far away pointing to the surface of the river.
On the surface of the river, a ship without sails was moving upstream, and there was a huge chimney on the ship with black smoke.
what is this?
Qian Qianyi was shocked. As a well-informed Jiangnan cultural man, he knew boats very well.
This kind of large sailing boat has a huge load, and it is good to say that it is going down the river, but if you want to go upstream, you must have the help of the monsoon. When there is no wind, you can only rely on manual pulling or paddling.
However, the sailing boat in front of Qian Qianyi\'s eyes has neither sailed nor been paddling, but it is really going up against the current.
Although the speed is very slow, but this is upstream.
Qian Qianyi was shocked by this supernatural incident that violated common sense.
He certainly didn\'t know that this was Feng Xianzhong\'s team testing the power performance of the steam engine.
After a period of research, Feng Xianzhong has built some steam engines. However, because of the backwardness of materials, mainly steel technology, these steam engines have great defects in terms of performance and stability.
Some steam engines do not explode after running for a long time, and some have too little power and low energy conversion efficiency.
They have been gradually improving, looking for steel materials with better performance.
And now, the latest steam engine they have produced has a certain practical value. After Wu Yi heard about it, he licked his face and asked Feng Xianzhong and the others to install the steam engine on the ship for testing.
As the first person in the navy, Wu Yi is most concerned about the performance of ships.
When navy forces fight, they are most afraid of encounters when there is no wind or headwind. In that case, we can only rely on manpower, which is very dangerous, and people will be tired.
Therefore, after learning that the steam engine can power the sailboat, he has been staring at Feng Xianzhong\'s project team.
"The power is still too low and has no practical value."
Feng Xianzhong said with emotion that he is under a lot of pressure now. Wu Changqing has solved the manufacturing process and principles for him. All he has to do is to find high-performance materials.
He is very dissatisfied with the current progress. Although Wu Changqing never urged him, he set a deadline for himself.
"It\'s already pretty good. This is the first time in the history of a sailboat that it does not use wind and manpower to go up the river. It is enough to go down in history."
Wu Yi is very satisfied. Although the power of the steam engine is still small, he doesn\'t care. Anyway, the most difficult part has been solved, and then as long as you wait patiently, you can wait for a steam engine with better performance.
At that time, command a fleet of self-powered ships, they will be invincible.
"Record all the data, I want to see it later."
Feng Xianzhong left first after he finished speaking. There is still a lot of research to be busy, and it is impossible to spend a whole day here.
In the distance, Qian Qianyi looked at the incredible sailing boat and wanted to ask questions many times, but in the end he restrained his curiosity.
His current identity is different from before. It is a question of whether he can get close to those who are protected by heavy soldiers.
If he was stopped by the guards, his old face would have no place to rest.
Therefore, Qian Qianyi chose Xiancheng City to find a way to get the official position first.
As for the sailing boat, there will be time to inquire in the future.
