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

This steam engine has been broken down.

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

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

But this also helped Liu Mingqi's observation.

The principle of a steam engine is very simple.

By using coal, the sealed iron pot boils water and the steam enters the cylinder, and then the flywheel rotates continuously through the action of the movable gas plug, flywheel, connecting rod, etc., thereby generating kinetic energy.

To put it simply, it is like a water truck standing in the field. However, the water truck relies on abundant water energy and must be in the abundance of water. Its power is not large enough, but this steam kinetic energy can continuously give huge steam energy through the steam burned by coal.

Being able to do it is the first step.

Then, continuous improvements are made to reduce the volume of the steam engine and expand it actively increase its power, and use it in every possible corner of the industry. This is the real first industrial age.

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

It can be very long, but it may not be promoted much in thirty or fifty years.

The length of time depends on Liu Mingqi's efforts.

Fortunately, this is a world where imperial power is supreme. The emperor has great power, which is enough to let everyone see the benefits brought by the steam engine, and thus undergo a qualitative change.

Of course, there must be another necessary condition here.

That is the great voyage.

Once the steam engine is started to be used, the output of various commodities will inevitably increase rapidly, especially the cotton cloth product.

As of now, there are white sugar, big white rabbit milk candies, soap, cigarettes, paper, etc., which can all rely on steam engines to achieve a production capacity of hundreds or thousands of times.

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

With a vast overseas market, cotton cloth and other industrial commodities, there is a place to dump, and they are sold overseas for a large amount of money to be recorded.

This is another important factor in the West's active development of the waterway.

Therefore, this is also complementary.

It is precisely because of so much profit that merchants and countries are interested in continuing to expand their voyages, explore the entire world, and obtain more territory and resources.

Liu Mingqi didn't know what Dakang would become in hundreds of years, and whether it would become a passing cloud like Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Great Britain, but he didn't care about this.

The first thing is to be brilliant.

Let's talk about it after it's brilliant.

Don’t be smashed by someone with a punch before you can bloom. Isn’t that unfair?

Moreover, according to the current situation, Liu Mingqi is very confident that as long as there is no problem with Dakang, he will definitely lead the entire world within three hundred years.

Even if it is in case Dakang overthrew the current royal family and established another country suitable for this land, as long as the foundation is still there, it will rise again soon.

Speaking of which, in order to prevent future generations from not being successful, should we carry out cabinet system reforms in advance and gradually hand over most of the power, and finally we don’t care about administration at all?

The queen was a little frustrated.

Not to mention the King of Japanese, it was like a prisoner.

Although the chiefs have a better life, once the oil is gone, they are waste.

It's better to be the King of Thailand. One fifth of the land in the country belongs to the royal family, and it also owns hundreds of shares in large and small companies and enterprises, and controls... the veritable richest man in the world.

Moreover, the Thai king has a high status, which makes it look very big, and the royal family feels very happy.

Well, just work hard in this regard!

...

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

"You must first let the steam engine perform the ultimate experiment." The boy said: "This way you can check the durability of the steam engine, what aspects of strengthening various parts need, and prepare these consumable parts for backup, so as not to break suddenly and not be repaired in time."

"clear!"

Ke Deyou nodded.

But a Mo family child next to him asked: "Your Majesty, how long will this extreme experiment take? If it is a few months, a year or two, will it delay our work efficiency too much?"

"Sharpening a knife will not delay chopping wood." Liu Mingqi said: "You must remember that our purpose is to make the steam engine operate better. The ones made at the beginning are definitely not the best. Only after continuous experiments and improvements can it be truly used. After all, we cannot produce only one steam engine, right? If dozens or hundreds of steam engines have problems, how much time, energy and money will be wasted?"

Liu Mingqi's explanation was easy to understand, and everyone nodded slightly, indicating that this idea was very correct.

"Don't worry, once you succeed, then the next one will be soon."

Liu Mingqi continued: "The second thing is to use experimental steam engines on the mines! You all know that there are often a large amount of groundwater in the mines, which is not conducive to mining... If the kinetic energy of the steam engine can be used to pump out the water, it will save a lot of manpower and material resources and greatly improve the mining efficiency."

"Okay, let's study this matter." A team leader nodded excitedly, "This can be carried out with the extreme experiment? Because it is all experiments, there is no need to wait for the perfect product to come out before talking about it."

"Can."

Liu Mingqi said: "By the way, install it on the boat... Let's start with the small boat. There are so many rivers outside the Imperial Palace, enough for you to use."

"On the boat..."

A group of people became excited again.

When working on a steam engine before, Liu Mingqi told them a lot of imagination, one of which was the use on the boat.

Through steam power, it directly replaces manpower, thereby driving the ship to sail. This is a scene that everyone has imagined thousands of times in their minds.

Now that Liu Mingqi has allowed them to further experiments, he is naturally going to go further away from his dream.

"Try it!"

Liu Mingqi encouraged them, "I think you know that Dakang is preparing to develop on the sea! Once the steam power can be used on a large scale, the speed of navigation will be greatly increased and the time to travel thousands of miles away will be greatly shortened.

Because of this, the names of all of you will be engraved on the scroll of history! You will be remembered by millions of people. After a thousand years, even if I am forgotten and my great health is gone, you can still be praised by future generations!"

...

Sitting on the carriage on the return trip, Su Xiaoxue asked the young man: "Your Majesty, what you said before is that Dakang will be gone one day... Have you really thought so?"

Liu Mingqi asked, "What does it mean?"

"You just want to die in Dakang?" Su Xiaoxue had no taboo, "You are working so hard to develop Dakang and let the people live a good life. Isn't it just to make Dakang last forever? If Dakang is destroyed, won't you be sad?"

"Silly girl!"

Liu Mingqi subconsciously touched her head: "I had even turned into ashes at that time, so why are you still sad or not?"

Su Xiaoxue was even more surprised when she heard this, "Your Majesty, why do you think so? Shouldn't you think about living for a long time, then becoming a god in the sky and keeping looking at the world?"

"I want to do this, but unfortunately, who knows what happened after death?" Liu Mingqi smiled, "Besides, after death, even if he becomes an immortal, he can no longer interfere in the world, right? Otherwise, when so many great emperors in history would have to go down to earth to kill those rebels when they encounter the destruction of the dynasty they created?"

Su Xiaoxue smiled with a pursed lips: "You are so free and easy, well, different from others."

"The problem is that I can't do it without being free and easy." Liu Mingqi said with a smile, "I can do what I can do well and make Dakang better as much as possible, which is the best result I can do. The rest, whether future generations will be successful will be tyrants and foolish lords will be born, it depends on the will of God. I cannot stop or make decisions."

The girl nodded gently.

If you have this mentality, there is no problem with this emperor governing the country and disciplineing his descendants.

"I hope the steam engine can develop quickly." Liu Mingqi came to talk about sex and continued: "Now I am twenty years old. In another twenty years, it will be the time when I am young and strong. Then I will take you on a boat to travel around the world and see all the places and people you can see, so that I can live up to my life!"

In his previous life, Liu Mingqi had never even been to the country, and even said that he had never visited any other place except the two cities he studied.

He was preparing to travel around after graduation, but he didn't expect to suddenly come to this other time and space.

Of course, he also hopes that he can go to Europe, Africa, Oceania, America... It would be even better if he could go to the Antarctic and Arctic.

The scenery you encounter on the road, the people you encounter, and all kinds of things you encounter will be one of the most valuable experiences in his life.

Hearing his wish, Su Xiaoxue said in surprise: "Will the ministers agree to us when the time comes? This trip will take three to five years, right? The country cannot be masterless for a day!"

"This needs to be planned well." Liu Mingqi said disapprovingly: "It's just right to test whether they can manage this country well when there is no emperor here."

"Are you not afraid of someone rebelling? When you come back, you will become a criminal?" Su Xiaoxue asked.

"If that happens, it proves that I have failed in the past twenty years." Liu Mingqi said with a smile, "It's understandable to be overthrown! But you are in trouble. You have to follow me to exile overseas, maybe you have to be a savage... Haha!"

"No formal"

Su Xiaoxue rolled her eyes wide and was so cute.

But at the same time, she also laughed.
