Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, had actually heard what Zhong Jinwei said just now, and knew that it must be another magical good thing. However, in this public public, Emperor Chongzhen did not take the initiative to ask, and he couldn't gossip.

But even so, he kept paying attention to this side. When he saw Emperor Chongzhen and Duke Xingguo whispering a few words, he lost his composure so much that he opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't help but be even more curious.

Wen Tiren secretly decided that when he found someone who was out of his way, he must ask Duke Xingguo what good thing is this electric train?

Emperor Chongzhen over there finally came to his senses and was about to ask Zhong Jinwei about the details of the electric train. "Woo..." a long whistle sounded, and a large amount of steam was sprayed out of the steam head. The train began to start slowly, and the sound of "clang clang..." also slowly began to accelerate from slow to rapid.

Everyone's eyes were attracted. Under the attention of the Ming Dynasty's rulers and ministers, the steam train easily pulled the many cars hanging behind and began to circulate in the yard.

After a while, the speed of the steam train slowly changed to a uniform speed. Although the speed was not very fast, it satisfied the big guys.

Because if a horse pulls a heavy object in a carriage, it is impossible to get up quickly, not to mention that the train has pulled so many cars.

Amid the noise of the train, senior officials of the Ming Dynasty were commenting on it, but Emperor Chongzhen remembered the electric train that Zhong Jinwei said.

Therefore, after he returned to Wenhua Hall, he decided to first try to build a railway from the capital to Tianjin Wei, and then left Zhong Jinwei alone to prepare for a question.

Wen Tiren naturally expected Emperor Chongzhen's purpose and found a reason to stay.

Emperor Chongzhen did not feel that there was a need to keep Wen Tiren confidential, because he also knew the origin of Zhong Jinwei. Therefore, the three of them were left in Wenhua Palace.

"Master Zhong, can the electric train you mentioned before be built?" Emperor Chongzhen asked with expectations.

To his disappointment, Zhong Jinwei shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, electric trains have higher requirements for technology than steam trains. With the current technological level of the Ming Dynasty, they are far from reaching it. Now there is not even electricity!"

Wen Tiren heard it next to him and asked quickly: "What is an electric train?"

Emperor Chongzhen looked disappointed. When he saw Wen Tiren asking questions, he repeated the speed of the electric train that Zhong Jinwei had told him.

When Wen Tiren heard this, he understood why Emperor Chongzhen was so surprised. If this kind of electric train was really developed, would the territory of the Ming Dynasty be too big to control?

He remembered that Zhong Jinwei answered Emperor Chongzhen's words just now, and quickly asked again: "Duke Xingguo, what is the power of electricity?"

"It is also a form of energy, like lightning."

Although Zhong Jinwei's answer was quite professional, he also said a similar concept when he talked about the steam engine last time. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren could almost understand what Zhong Jinwei said.

This surprised Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren again, and lightning could be used. And according to Zhong Jinwei's meaning, it seemed that this electricity was still a basic thing. So Emperor Chongzhen asked in surprise: "Master Zhong, is this electricity made?"

Zhong Jinwei nodded and replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, it is easy to make this electricity, just electromagnetic induction. It is rare to use it after it is made. It involves a lot of things and must have a certain industrial foundation."

Wen Tiren was very sensitive and seemed to have received some other information from Zhong Jinwei's words. He asked again: "Duke Xingguo, will this electricity be of many use, not just electric trains?"

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he nodded with a smile, turned to Wen Tiren and said, "What Master Wen said is very true. If this electricity is used for the fast electric train I just mentioned, it will probably take hundreds of years, and the technical difficulty is too high. However, electricity can be used in many aspects, very, very useful, and is the basis of many industries."

Emperor Chongzhen had never heard Zhong Jinwei emphasize anything like this. He immediately forgot the disappointment he had just now, leaned forward, and asked slightly anxiously: "Master Zhong, how useful is this?"

Zhong Jinwei thought for a moment and reminded Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the cell phone I brought when I first came? The light in the night picture in the cell phone is all light from electricity."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought about it carefully and found that there was indeed such a thing. On Zhong Jinwei's mobile phone, there were tall buildings and various dazzling lights. Although it was dark, it fell like stars in the sky.

He also knew that the electric train that could travel 1,200 miles in an hour was too far away, but it would be good if it could reach the power applications in Master Zhong’s mobile phone.

"Master Zhong, can you make the electricity and make it shine?" Emperor Chongzhen asked again with expectations this time.

What made him happy was that Zhong Jinwei smiled and nodded, and replied: "I am thinking of this and want to devote most of my energy to the Ming Dynasty technology in the next time. Electricity is the foundation, and as long as it can be applied, it will inevitably be another huge takeoff after the steam engine."

Just as Emperor Chongzhen was happy, Zhong Jinwei reminded again: "Your Majesty, but you can't be too hasty about this. When I was in my hometown, I just learned some basics and forgot a lot. Now I can only gradually explore when it can be developed. This is hard to say. Maybe it will take decades to study it, and it is possible."

Emperor Chongzhen's joy was not lowered by Zhong Jinwei's words. He still said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I can afford to wait!"

Emperor Chongzhen could afford to wait, but Wen Tiren could not afford to wait. When he heard Zhong Jinwei's words, he couldn't help but feel extremely regretful that he had been born for so many years.

Zhong Jinwei did not notice Wen Tiren's regretful expression. Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was still so happy, he said again: "Your Majesty, the steam engine has just begun to become more practical now. Therefore, the most profitable thing at present is to continue to develop the steam engine and promote it to all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty. In terms of electricity, we only started research and development in advance, focused on exploration, and accumulated technology. Only such a focus will be the most beneficial to our Ming Dynasty."

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen finally restrained the smile on his face. But immediately he smiled again and said, "Master Zhong is right. You can't be a fat man in one bite. I know that you should follow the steps and follow the Ming Dynasty's technology. If you become the chief master, you have the final say!"
