Chapter 614 Steam Train!

Wang Jing's guess made Pei Ji and others even more frightened.

But they recalled that before, Ye Jingneng took everyone to the farmland on the outskirts of the city to perform rituals...

The whole thing seems to be really like that.

At that time, Ye Jingneng used two boys and girls. Although it was not as exaggerated as making human figurines, it was still used after all, and this is true.

Now……

Could it be that Master Ye is really sucking people alive again?

Thinking of this, everyone was a little wary.

And this way...

Problems also arise...

Everyone, do you want to go in and take a look?

Pei Ji's face was full of horror. He had never seen this scene before.

But soon, Wang Jing frowned and thought hard for a long time. Finally, he took a deep breath and made a decision.

"We can't just hang around here. Since Master Ye has encountered obstacles in his movement, we need to go in to help. If we don't go now... maybe it will be too late!"

As soon as Wang Jing said this, the faces of Pei Ji and others also darkened, turned into serious expressions, and nodded one after another.

And at this moment, several more screams suddenly came from Ye Jingneng's room, accompanied by the sounds of fighting...

Now Wang Jing and others no longer doubted it, so they had to go in and take a look.

If Master Ye successfully sucked people dry and recovered his skills, that would be fine.

But these two maids have no overall perspective. They only care about themselves and are not sensible at all.

If you resist and struggle, it will cause trouble for Master Ye, which will be a big trouble!

Wang Jing and others did not dare to delay, and immediately rushed towards Ye Jingneng's room!

but……

It didn't take a while after rushing up.

Wang Jing, Li Tiancheng, Cui Baihe, Zheng Taishan, Lu Changgeng...

Pei Ji, Xiao Yu...

Everyone was dumbfounded.

In Ye Jingneng's room, there was only a large, colorful parrot, which was using its sharp claws to play hard with the two maids.

Other than that…

The room was actually empty!

Wang Jing, Pei Ji and the others looked left, right, up and down...

After watching it for a long time, it's still the same.

Ye Jinneng is not in this room at all!

At this moment, Wang Jing's mind was blank, it was a place full of light...

He was completely exhausted and had no thoughts at all.

It’s over, Master Ye...

Sure enough, he had already "ascended" and said goodbye a long time ago...

Everyone stared blankly at Ye Jinneng's room. They were silent for a long time at this mysterious scene... for a long time...

Pei Ji's face was filled with sadness.

"Brother Wang, let's... let's go to Hangzhou and take a look at the ship..."



However, it was said that Wang Jing and others had a turmoil with Ye Jingneng, a foreign expert, and they were each in a state of embarrassment. Wang Jing and others fell into a deathly silence facing Ye Jingneng's room.

the other side……

Li Sheng carried his luggage, looked at the Chang'an city wall, and shook his head slightly.

"Didn't I tell you... Lao Li, you guys really don't need to send them away."

"What age are you in this age? What can you give me when you go to sea?"

Li Sheng's words made Li Er and others a little confused for a moment. They didn't understand what "what era is this" meant at all.

But this matter...

They still couldn't sit back and watch. When Li Sheng went to Mobei and Hangzhou before, they were still within the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, Li Sheng was a high-ranking official awarded by the imperial court, so he was considered to be on official business when he went to places. To be honest, he really had nothing to give.

After all, whether it is Li Er or Wei Zheng, the biggest difference between these people in Tiance Mansion and other great Confucian scholars...

It’s because they have traveled thousands of miles and know what the world is like.

But things are different this time.

Because Li Sheng made it very clear.

This time when I go to Hangzhou, I really want to go to sea.

And even if he doesn't stay at sea the whole time, generally speaking, the time will not be short, because in addition to going to sea, Li Sheng also has a plan that he is also preparing to carry out in Hangzhou.

In recent days, Li Sheng's scientific research task assigned to the academy - to find suitable animal skins that are similar to rubber and can be used as seals - has been completed.

Then there is Li Sheng himself, regarding the design of land-based steam engines...

The original model from the beginning of the industrial revolution was finally reproduced by Li Sheng!

Of course, since it is an original model, the structure is of course relatively simple, the functions are simple, and the load capacity...

It is also quite different from the steam trains that were already very developed in later generations at the beginning of the 20th century.

For example, a 20th-century steam train would take three days to travel, while Li Sheng's train might take about seven or eight days.

But these seven or eight days...

This efficiency is still very competitive in this era - otherwise Li Sheng wouldn't have put in so much effort.

Of course, just because the design was completed, Li Sheng didn't make any announcement about it. The new problem before him now was the real problem - he had to actually build the thing on the drawing.

To build this steam engine, according to common sense, of course it should be built in Chang'an.

But Li Sheng thought about it.

Although the craftsmen in the steel factory here in Chang'an are top-notch, coupled with the people in the academy, they can be regarded as the base of all industrial talents in the Tang Dynasty.

But when you get to Hangzhou, it’s not impossible to make it.

In the previous maintenance of steam engines and some modification work, Li Sheng really recruited many powerful craftsmen in Hangzhou, and the level was no worse than that of Chang'an.

Since everything can be made...

Even though it was a little more difficult, Li Sheng still chose to go to Hangzhou first.

The reason is very simple. From the more than ten shipyards founded by Li Sheng, from the West Lake Industrial Zone, and from Wu Meiniang... letters were also sent, saying that a new batch of large ships had been launched!

This time another batch came, and together with the first one before, there were twelve ships.

The number of twelve ships is still the largest in the entire Tang Dynasty. With this condition...

The fleet can now be formed.

Building an aircraft carrier battle group is nonsense, but building a group of armed merchant ships is really enough.

Since this matter is related to overseas development...

Especially for the place "Southeast Bay", Li Sheng naturally had to personally participate.

The origin of rubber, Li Sheng initially knew, originated in South America. Later, rubber from plantations in Southeast Asia was basically introduced.

However, later Li Sheng also read research and found that there seemed to be a small number of wild rubber species in Southeast Asia, but only on a small scale.

This time when he visited "Southeast Bay", what Li Sheng wanted most was rubber, and everything else came second. After all, without rubber, many mechanical designs would always remain on the design drawings.

You must know that rubber is also a widely used electrical insulation material...

In addition to this, there are countless other resources in that place, and Li Sheng, as a science student, knows all of these resources.
