Chapter 959: Great Liang’s Technological Progress
This wooden donkey looks very bloated. It is obviously a huge wooden donkey. It actually carries a bag of things on its back. It seems that it was specially added to increase the load.
Next to the wooden donkey, Ma Jun and others followed closely behind, observing the wooden donkey's actions, and kept writing and drawing in their hands to record the wooden donkey's situation.
Every time I took a step forward, I was greeted with cheers.
"Great, the wooden donkey is finally moving. Is this the power of the steam engine that Your Majesty said?"
"It's really amazing. This thing can really drive a wooden donkey. No wonder His Majesty asked us to study it carefully. If this steam device is big enough, wouldn't it be able to support a big ship?"
There were incredible looks in the eyes of these craftsmen. They didn't expect that the wooden donkey could actually be driven. This was simply a miracle. Given time, I'm afraid they could really make the wooden donkey run.
If you achieve that step, wouldn't you and others be able to honor your ancestors?
After recording the situation of the wooden donkey, Ma Jun said excitedly: "This steam device is still too small, so it can only make the wooden donkey move slightly and cannot complete the run.
If we switch to the huge steam engine in the base, it will definitely be able to run."
He had previously built a huge steam device, but that large steam device needed further testing before it could be truly perfected. If it was used now, it would inevitably lead to uncontrollable dangers.
After all, the power of that thing is too strong. If it cannot be truly controlled, it will be a dangerous thing.
Therefore, Ma Jun did not use it easily, but chose a simplified device called a wooden donkey to complete the exploration of the steam engine through the driving force and direction of the wooden donkey.
This exploration did not disappoint him. As expected, he got a lot of information, and the most important thing was that the wooden donkey took a few steps. This was undoubtedly a huge progress.
Suddenly, he saw Lin Yi, and immediately turned pale with horror, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Your Majesty, Ma Jun, came to see you. I didn't notice the Emperor before. Please forgive me!" Ma Jun said solemnly.
"No problem!"
Lin Yi shook his head. He didn't care about these false etiquettes. Compared to the value Ma Jun brought, this bit of etiquette was completely insignificant.
He moved forward with interest and asked curiously: "Ai Qing, is this the steam wooden donkey you built?"
To be honest, he was a little shocked. He didn't expect Ma Jun to actually create such a thing. This is definitely an epoch-making thing.
In particular, the joint support of this wooden donkey can also rotate reasonably, which is relatively advanced.
"hey-hey!"
Mentioning the wooden donkey, Ma Jun suddenly became energetic and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, please see, this is a steam-driven wooden donkey created by Weichen based on the steam engine theory and the wooden cow and horse flow technology given to me by the emperor.
With this little bit of steam drive, the wooden donkey can be driven to complete the transportation..."
"Well, not bad, not bad!"
Lin Yi was also surprised. He didn't expect Ma Jun to make such great progress. He couldn't help but admired: "Well done to you, Ma Jun. You are indeed the number one inventor in Great Liang. You didn't disappoint me!"
Although there is no specific application, with the combination of these data and theories, Ma Jun's intelligence is enough to create a steam engine device that can actually be applied.
"Your Majesty, I dare not take the credit alone. These masters also helped a lot." Ma Jun felt a little embarrassed when faced with such direct praise and said with a smile. Bayi Chinese Website
He is a person who always has his own opinions and does not take credit for other people's work. These craftsmen have made huge contributions.
Hearing his words, the craftsmen around him couldn't help but raise their chests and looked proud, which made Lin Yi couldn't help but smile. The craftsmen these days are quite cute.
Lin Yi smiled and said: "Well done, I will give you an order to reward you. Everyone will remember your merits. Your names will also be included in the history books in the future. I will let Ma Jun register it later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward!!!"
Everyone's eyes lit up and they couldn't help shouting with excitement. Many excited people shed tears and were shocked by Lin Yi's words.
I didn’t expect that I just did some small things, but they would be recorded in the history books, and everyone would remember them. This is simply a huge honor, and it can’t be exchanged for a lot of money!
"Wow, wow, smoke is coming out of the ancestral graves. I didn't expect that I would have a future as a carpenter!"
"I, a blacksmith, can actually be recorded in history. I never dreamed of it. Will I be a celebrity in the future?"
Looking at the group of excited people, Lin Yi couldn't help but nod secretly. Sure enough, as long as they have merit, they will be rewarded, and these people below are not lacking in motivation.
Based on this record of merit and their names in the history books, it can be imagined that these people will definitely be very motivated in the future, and they will be more reliable than chicken blood.
He asked the master bookkeeper on the side to record the names of these craftsmen, and then called Ma Jun, curiously saying: "Ai Qing, please talk to me carefully, how far can this thing go?
How did you get this joint and why..."
"Your Majesty, this is a wooden donkey I made based on the wooden cow and flowing horse you gave me, combined with the kinetic energy of the steam engine. The structure inside has been greatly optimized, and a small steam device has been added.
Although limited by the size of the steam engine, it cannot travel very far, but the future is limitless." Ma Jun explained with a smile.
Although he checked some information about wooden cows and horses, he was not a static person, so he combined these technologies with the needs of steam engines to complete this big wooden donkey.
Hesitation needed enough fuel, so he made the wooden donkey's belly larger, forming a weird image.
But this is only temporary. As long as you fully understand the operating energy and experience of the steam engine, you can create a real weapon of war.
After saying that, he removed the sandbag that was pressing down on the wooden donkey. In an instant, the wooden donkey started running around like a wild horse.
Damn it!
Lin Yi was startled. No wonder he was pressed with a sandbag. Emotions are so violent. The driving force has not been fully calibrated. Now he is a moving beast.
really!
Hearing a few clicks, and amidst a wave of disbelief, the wooden donkey came to the end of its life and simply fell apart.
Lin Yi's mouth twitched, this thing is really not that simple.
Ma Jun glanced at Lin Yi cautiously and said: "Your Majesty, the power of this thing is huge, and the wood cannot bear the power of this thing at all, so I can only persist in a few trials before it completely collapses."
Chapter completed!
