Chapter 1043 Steam Engine and Traveling Around the World

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After getting angry, Liu Mingqi naturally looked at the steam engine they made.

    This steam engine has been disassembled.

    It was not intentional, but was damaged during the collision.

    Although the main part is still there, all the parts inside are damaged.

    ¡°But this also happened to be helpful for Liu Mingqi¡¯s observation.

    The principle of the steam engine is very simple.

    By using coal to boil water in a sealed iron pot, the water vapor enters the cylinder, and then through the action of the movable air plug, flywheel, connecting rod, etc., the flywheel is continuously rotated, thereby generating kinetic energy.

    To put it simply, it is just like a waterwheel erected in the field, except that the waterwheel relies on abundant water energy, which must be during the wet season, and the power is not strong enough, but the steam kinetic energy can be burned through coal.  Steam continuously provides huge steam energy.

    Being able to do it is the first step.

    Then continuously improved, the volume of the steam engine was narrowed and expanded, and it actively improved its power to use it in every possible corner of the industry. This is the real first industrial era.

    This period of time can be very short, and it may begin to be widely used in twenty or thirty years, and it will become something that can be seen at any time in people's lives in thirty or fifty years.

    The time can also be very long, and it may not be promoted much in thirty to fifty years.

    The length of time depends on Liu Mingqi¡¯s efforts.

    Fortunately, this is a world where imperial power is supreme. The emperor's power is very great, which is enough for everyone to see the benefits brought by the steam engine, thus causing a qualitative change.

    Of course, this must be accompanied by another necessary condition.

    That is the great voyage.

    Once the steam engine came into use, the output of various commodities was bound to increase rapidly, especially cotton.

    ¡°As of now, sugar, White Rabbit toffee, soap, cigarettes, paper, etc. can all rely on steam engines to achieve hundreds or thousands of times increase in production capacity.

    If there is no overseas market and so many products accumulate, it will only hurt people all over the world.

    And with the vast overseas market, various industrial commodities such as cotton cloth have a place to dump them. They can be sold overseas in exchange for a large amount of money.

    This was another important factor in the West¡¯s active efforts to open up shipping lanes.

    So this is also complementary to each other.

    Precisely because there are so many profits, businessmen and countries are interested in continuing to expand their voyages, explore the entire world, and acquire more territory and resources.

    Liu Mingqi doesn¡¯t know what Dakang will look like in a few hundred years, whether it will become a passing cloud like Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Great Britain, but he doesn¡¯t care about that.

    The first thing is to be brilliant.

    Let¡¯s talk about it after it¡¯s brilliant.

    "Don't be beaten down by someone's fist before you can bloom. Isn't that unfair?"

    Moreover, based on the current situation, Liu Mingqi is very confident that as long as there are no problems with Dakang overall, it will definitely lead the entire world within three hundred years.

    Even if by chance, Dakang overthrows the current royal family and establishes another country suitable for this land, as long as the foundation remains, it will not take long to rise again.

    Speaking of which, in order to prevent future generations from failing to live up to expectations, shouldn¡¯t they carry out the reform of the cabinet system in advance, gradually hand over most of the power, and finally not care about administration at all?

    The queen was a little aggrieved.

    Not to mention the Japanese king, he was just like a prisoner.

    Although the life of the chiefs is easy, once the oil is gone, they will be useless.

    It¡¯s better to be the King of Thailand. One-fifth of the land in the country belongs to the royal family, and he also owns shares and control rights in hundreds of large and small companies He is truly the richest man in the world.

    And the King of Thailand has a very high status, which makes him look very impressive, and the royal family members feel very happy.

    Well, let¡¯s work hard in this direction!

    ¡­¡­

    Before leaving, Liu Mingqi gave several instructions to Ke Deyou and the others.

    "You must first conduct extreme experiments on the steam engine." The young man said: "In this way, you can check the durability of the steam engine, as well as what aspects of various parts need to be strengthened, and prepare spare parts for these wearing parts to avoid sudden breakage midway.  If it falls, there is no way to repair it in time.¡±

    "clear!"

    Ke Deyou nodded.

    But a Mohist disciple next to him asked: "Your Majesty, how long will this extreme experiment take? If it is a few months, a year and a half"Europe, a trip to Africa, a trip to Oceania, a trip to the Americas If you can go to the Antarctic and the North Pole, that would be even better.

    The scenery, people and things he encounters on the road will be one of the most precious experiences in his life.

    Hearing his wish, Su Xiaoxue said in surprise: "Will the ministers agree to our going then? This trip will probably take three to five years, right? The country cannot be left without a master for a day!"

    "This requires careful planning." Liu Mingqi said disapprovingly: "It can also be tested to see if they can properly manage the country when the emperor is not around."

    "Aren't you afraid that someone will rebel and become a criminal when you come back?" Su Xiaoxue asked.

    "If that's the case, it proves that I have failed too much in the past twenty years." Liu Mingqi said with a smile, "There is nothing wrong with being overthrown! But it will be miserable for you, and you will have to follow me into exile overseas.  Go be a savagehaha!"

    ¡°There is no formal shape~~¡±

    Su Xiaoxue rolled her eyes, looking very cute.

    But at the same time she laughed.

    Think about it, if you really have that kind of life of traveling around the world, it will definitely be very happy!
