When the water in the steam engine boils, the air in the cylinder expands rapidly, pushing the piston in the cylinder, and the piston begins to move up and down, generating a huge thrust.
This thrust drives the mechanical arm on the side to start rotating rapidly. This mechanical arm is connected to the grinding plate on the side through a pulley.
The millstone began to rotate rapidly.
Very efficient!
Zhu Cihong looked at the steam engine in front of him with excitement on his face.
At this time, Zhu Cixi turned to look at Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng and asked: "How is our production speed of this steam engine??"
"Forehead……"
Wang Zheng and Song Yingxing were stunned for a moment. After they looked at each other, Wang Zheng in front of him said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him: "Because we don't have enough craftsmen, and our production efficiency of steam engines is a bit slow, so... …”
"It's okay, take your time!"
Zhu Cixiang was not in a hurry. He could not expect to become a fat man in one go. Being able to build the first steam engine now meant that subsequent steam engines could also be produced.
As long as we can produce a few more steam engines, among other things, we can at least solve the problem of production efficiency a little bit.
There is also the issue of factoryization.
"Let's explore first and see how steam engines can be used in steel plants! Regarding the application of steam engines, you should think of more solutions, preferably something that can solve our current problems!"
Zhu Cixiang said to Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng in front of him.
"There is also a matter of steam engine technology. Please do not pass it on to the students of Huangming Zhicheng University for the time being. This technology is temporarily classified as top secret! It is only for the royal family to produce!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng both bowed to Zhu Cihong in front of them and said respectfully.
Zhu Cixiang looked at the steam engine beside him with a smile on his face.
This time, China should be able to carry out the industrial revolution faster than Westerners!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang sighed slightly.
At this time, Zhu Cixiang suddenly thought of something. He looked at Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng in front of him and said: "You two should study it first and see how to apply this steam engine to making Lumi guns! This fire gun is very important to us now. !”
"Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
The two people in front of them said to Zhu Cixiang in front of them with respectful expressions on their faces.
After Zhu Cixi gave some instructions to the two of them, he turned around and left the place.
Regarding the matter of the steam engine, because of Zhu Cixiang's entrustment, this matter has not been revealed yet. In a short period of time, Zhu Cixiang did not want this steam engine to be spread.
Because it is difficult to collect business taxes now, even if the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan get rich at this time, they will not get anything.
Therefore, I am not going to reveal this steam engine in a short period of time!
Unless you have absolute strength.
Anyway, the technology of this steam engine can only be controlled by oneself.
After returning to the mansion.
"Zhu Yi, strengthen the security of the craftsmen's workshop and Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng. Pay attention that the technology of the steam engine must not be leaked. No matter what the situation is, we must ensure that the technology of the steam engine must not be leaked!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Zhu Yi bowed respectfully to Zhu Cihong in front of him.
"Your Highness, a group of maids selected by Your Majesty and the Queen to serve you are already waiting in the front hall. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Just when Zhu Cihong was giving instructions to Zhu Yi, Eunuch Li's voice suddenly came from the side.
Maid?
Zhu Cixiang frowned slightly.
He pondered for a moment.
“Go and see!”
In his current life, he really needs a maid to take care of him.
Zhu Cixiang turned around and walked towards the backyard beside him.
"His Royal Highness is coming soon! Cheer up, all of you!"
A father-in-law said in a high-pitched voice to the dozen or so beautiful maids in front of him.
These palace maids were already a little tired from the long journey, but they still managed to keep their spirits up and stood there, waiting for the arrival of His Royal Highness.
Tao Yao looked at the courtyard in front of her curiously. She had stayed in a palace in Nanjing City before, although the palace in Nanjing City was already very small.
But the courtyard in front of me looks smaller, like a private house.
Maybe it was just a private house, and there were still signs of repair everywhere in the yard. There was even grass growing on the roof of the house on the side, but no one had cleaned it at all.
This made Tao Yao become more and more curious about the rumored His Highness the Crown Prince.
What kind of person is this His Royal Highness?
According to rumors, he is cold, always correct, and very abiding by himself.
Tao Yao flashed her big eyes like cattail leaf fans, full of curiosity.
Just when Taoyao was thinking.
There was a sound of footsteps nearby.
coming!
Tao Yao's heart suddenly rose, and she was very curious about the rumored His Highness the Crown Prince.
Soon, Taoyao saw the rumored Crown Prince.
A crown prince whose mouth had just turned black.
Unlike other palace maids, Tao Yao's eyes were full of curiosity as she looked up and down at the crown prince in front of her.
He looks like a very ordinary little kid!
Tao Yao muttered in her heart, but her eyes quickly collided with Zhu Cixiang's.
They looked at each other.
Tao Yao could feel that the Crown Prince's eyes were like a deep black hole, almost sucking her whole body in!
His eyes were full of danger.
Taoyao quickly looked away and lowered her head. Her heart was beating so fast that Taoyao felt like her heart was about to jump out!
What a pair of eyes those are!
I always feel that those eyes are full of aggression and offensiveness, and seem to be able to destroy everything. The confidence in the eyes is like a sharp sword!
Amazing!
Tao Yao sighed in her heart, only such a crown prince can lead the crumbling Ming Dynasty and stabilize the situation again!
Zhu Cixiang naturally felt Tao Yao's eyes, but he didn't pay much attention.
"Li Banban, please give these palace ladies some instructions!"
Zhu Cixiang glanced at the maids in front of him with a calm expression.
"Stay them all!"
With that said, Zhu Cixi turned around and left.
Tao Yao looked at Zhu Cixiang's back and sighed in her heart, but there was a trace of disappointment in her eyes.
She originally thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would have noticed her, but she did not expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would just leave like this...
This made Taoyao feel a little disappointed.
Do you look ugly?
Tao Yao pursed her small mouth, a look of helplessness flashed in her eyes.
