Chapter 169 God Bull Tractor
You can see that a large greenhouse with bamboo walls and glazed roof has been built next to Dekuyusen City.
[Shennongmen] disciples are responsible for experimenting with the off-season vegetables mentioned by Bai Yuqi. I believe that the people in the Tai Chi Imperial Capital will be able to eat green vegetables that were rarely seen in previous years this winter.
And you can also see some [Tiangong Sect] disciples, tinkering with a few weird-looking big machines in the fields where the crops have been harvested. From time to time, you can see the tops of the strange things, and big spurts popping out.
Clouds and black smoke.
"What kind of monster is this that is breathing clouds and fog?"
Old man Li Yuan was obviously frightened by this strange thing that made a sharp and strange roar.
If he hadn't seen that the disciples of the Wuji Sect who were guarding the chariot were very calm, and the people working next to the strange thing were also disciples of the Tiangong Sect wearing standard work clothes, the old man would not have called out to escort him.
"Oh, those are some of the agricultural machinery I mentioned to Your Majesty."
"Although it is not as exquisite as the styles used in the upper world, it can only look like this under the current conditions."
Bai Yuqi said somewhat proudly: "Quan should be used for a transitional purpose and will be used for a few years first. We will make improvements after the Tiangong Sect disciples' craftsmanship skills have improved!"
"Is this the magical weapon that can cultivate tens of thousands of hectares of land and harvest tens of millions of grains?"
Li Yuan suddenly stood up, almost overturning the low table in front of him, and shouted: "Stop! Stop! I want to go down and take a look!"
Fortunately, the roof of this dragon carriage was designed by Bai Yuqi to be high enough, otherwise the old man would have banged his head on the roof of the car with a "bang!"
The guards and Wuji Sect disciples who were guarding the car thought something had happened, but before the car could stop, they saw the Supreme Emperor jumping down from the dragon chariot.
He staggered and almost fell to pieces on the spot. Fortunately, he had good skills and stabilized himself in time. He ran towards the large steam engines, causing Qin Qiong, who was in charge of the escort, to rush after him and pull out the sword from his waist.
Changsun Wuji was looking at the steam engines with the same surprise and suspicion, but seeing that the Wuji Sect disciples around him had indifferent expressions, it was difficult to ask questions. When he saw Bai Yuqi and Monk Xuanzang Shi Shiran getting out of the carriage, he couldn't help but ask
He cast a questioning look: "Emperor..."
"Then let's all go over and have a look!"
Bai Yuqi smiled and said something, and all the disciples of the Wuji Sect around him jumped off their horses and rushed over there with a whoop, but Yuchi Baolin was the fastest!
Shit's calmness and familiarity with strange things, although they heard that the master craftsmen of [Tiangong Sect] were trial-producing this kind of fairy treasure named "Sacred Ox Agricultural Machinery" by the emperor, they had never seen it with their own eyes.
If it wasn't for the sake of maintaining the dignity of their Immortal disciples in front of the Supreme Emperor, they would have rushed over to watch fiercely.
It sounds magical, but in fact it is just a few steam engine versions of the Godox tractors, which can be mounted with different rake trucks and plow trucks to achieve farming.
In order to make this thing, Bai Yuqi put a lot of thought into it.
With the perfect blueprints searched out through the system, it is not difficult to build a steam engine by hand.
The difficulty was that due to limitations of materials and fuel, he could not make an internal combustion engine or engine. The most primitive steam engine he could directly use could not reach the power that Bai Yuqi was satisfied with. In the end, after studying "Basic Construction Science" for a long time, he
Only by combining the knowledge of construction science to design such a batch of magically modified steam engines.
Although it is also driven by coal-burning steam and driven by gears and levers, its efficiency is several times more than that of a traditional steam engine, which makes it look a bit steampunk.
When the first batch of miniature models were successfully trial-produced in the laboratory of Yaoyuelou.
Bai Yuqi asked the master craftsmen who participated in the research to rush back to Kuyu City with samples and drawings to gather manpower for mass production.
The first generation of magically modified steam engines have been used on the ships of the water transportation company. These should be the second generation of miniaturized modifications.
In order to provide sufficient fuel for these steam engines, Bai Yuqi also sent a team with steam engines and pumps to the coal mines being developed to expand production scale.
At the same time, the households on the land under their own names were organized into several production brigades, and the small fields scattered in the hands of the households were gathered together to form large planting areas.
When spring farming begins, just use these "Sacred Ox Tractors" to plow from beginning to end, which can significantly reduce farming manpower and expand planting scale.
A single Godox tractor can handle the farming area that might have required tens of thousands of people, and the saved manpower can be invested in industrial development.
It can be said that the advent of the modified version of the steam engine solved a large number of problems requiring power at once, allowing Bai Yuqi's industry to directly leap into the steam era and begin to enter a stage of rapid development.
Including ships that have been put into use and trains that are under construction, if it were not for the time being to find a solution to the air pollution problem caused by black smoke, Bai Yuqi would have liked to have even built cars, and animals were used to pull the carts.
A group of people gathered around the Shenniu tractor and marveled at it for a long time, touching and photographing it, trying to figure out how the iron lump moved on its own.
Li Yuan actually climbed up by himself and asked a craftsman who was responsible for driving the tractor to teach him. He drove it twice before he reluctantly came down. What a guy! With such skill, the old man's face was blackened by soot.
!
After trying to convince him that there were more magical things to see in Kuyu City, the old man who couldn't get enough of them was willing to set off, which made Bai Yuqi very tired.
It's been a while since I came back, and Kuyu City has undergone a lot of changes.
First of all, because a large number of refugees were absorbed into the disciples of [Tiangong Sect], [Dingzu Sect], and [Nishang Sect], and moved to the workshops of the Tai Chi Imperial Capital, so those who stayed in Kuyu City
Mainly the disciples of [Shennong Sect] and some of the laborers responsible for mining in the mountains.
The rolling hills around Kuyu City have basically been developed and turned into various plantations and terraces.
Even if these mountains were originally just rocky and rugged barren hills, they could not escape the hands of the [Shen Nong Sect] disciples. Do you think [fossils turned into mud] is a joke?
Especially after the emergence of the steam engine solved the problem of water diversion for irrigation, the disciples of [Shen Nong Sect] were like crazy. They couldn't see any place that was not planted, and they wanted to plant something in every nook and corner within sight.
That's good, I'm afraid this is the obsessive-compulsive disorder that has infiltrated into the genes of the farming people.
This has led to the tendency of the originally lush Zhongnan Mountains to be further developed into alpine plantations by [Shen Nong Sect] disciples.
Think about it, what would it look like if a good Taoist holy land were turned into circles of terraced fields?
On the way back to the mountain, Bai Yuqi even saw that on a Jade Bamboo Shoot Peak, there was not enough space for a foothold, but someone had actually leveled the top of the mountain and planted something on it... Such a small place to plant something.
