Emperor Chongzhen looked at the ministers below and asked loudly: "Who else do you think this is a strange trick?"

It's all like this, who dares to say that this is a strange trick? For a moment, most of the ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the emperor's eyes.

But what surprised Emperor Chongzhen was that suddenly, someone stepped out of the line. Does he think this was a strange trick?

When Emperor Chongzhen understood this man, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. The person who came was Xu Guangqi, who was a representative figure who opened his eyes and opened the world in the late Ming Dynasty. Will he persist in thinking that this is a strange trick?

"Your Majesty, I recommend a book, or I may give you some effort to the technology you say!" Xu Guangqi bowed excitedly and said.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he realized that he was thinking too much. No matter how many people think of strange tricks and tricks, this old Xu doesn’t!

When Xu Guangqi spoke, he almost knew what he was saying, so he nodded and said, "As long as he heard!"

"Your Majesty, the "Geometry Original" translated by me in the 35th year of Wanli. This book is extremely widely used and is especially urgently needed at this time. It can help those who study theory to remove their aura and practice their meticulousness; those who study things should rely on their own methods and develop their ingenuity, so no one in the world should not learn it." Xu Guangqi said loudly, "So, the old minister thinks that I should learn it widely in the Ming Dynasty and protect science and technology!"

"Authentication!" Emperor Chongzhen agreed immediately without thinking. Although this was not arranged in advance, if an opportunity arises, he naturally cannot miss it.

Unexpectedly, this is not over yet. Xu Guangqi's student Sun Yuanhua also followed the article and said: "The three basics of mathematics, physics and chemistry taught by Your Majesty are the top priority of the method of science and technology, so that people all over the world should learn it!"

What is this happening? Many ministers were surprised by this. They looked at Sun Yuanhua and Emperor Chongzhen, and their eyes were full of suspicion.

"Old ministers' advice!" At this time, Xu Guangqi came back to his senses and remembered the knowledge passed down by the emperor, which seemed to be more realistic than the "Geometric Original" he translated, and he couldn't help but express his opinion quickly.

After expelling the missionaries, Emperor Chongzhen sorted out the basic knowledge of the three disciplines of mathematics, physics and chemistry. At that time, Xu Guangqi came to the capital to promote high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, and Sun Yuanhua was responsible for the docking. However, after Xu Guangqi returned to Beijing, he naturally got it from Sun Yuanhua. However, at that time, the final book had not been completed. After all, Emperor Chongzhen had a lot of things, so Xu Guangqi did not recommend this as soon as possible.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said, "Let me leave this matter to you and the Ministry of Rites to arrange it!"

Xu Guangqi was the Minister of Rites, and it happened to be his duty. After receiving the emperor's oral instructions, he immediately bowed to accept the order. The other ministers were shocked by the emperor's technology. Although some of them felt sharply that the emperor was about to start the imperial examination. At this moment, they did not see the chief minister opposing it, and did not stand up.

So, the matter was decided naturally. Of course, Emperor Chongzhen never thought that this matter would be smooth sailing. No matter what, it would be better to open the door first.

Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood at this time. Seeing that it was still early, he whispered to the rotating eunuch Gao Shiyue for a few words, and then said to the ministers below: "The technology of thermal expansion and contraction can be applied to other aspects. Before that, I have given some of my ministers knowledge. Now that there are improvements, I will give you all your dear friends a lesson."

As soon as he heard this, the six ministers and the cabinet assistants understood that the emperor was talking about the steam engine! After watching it last time, he heard the emperor say that he would continue to improve, but there was no news. Unexpectedly, he heard good news today. Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look forward to it, and they didn't know what the steam opportunity was improved by the emperor.

Those lower officials who had not visited that day were all very curious that the emperor could actually take what was made of. I wonder what it would be and what kind of ability would it have? Will he take people to the sky with him?

Amid the whispers of the ministers below, a group of eunuchs pulled the steam engine in a flatbed truck, and loaded and unloaded, placed it on the spot, and made preliminary preparations.

Most civil servants and generals saw that what they wanted to see was a big iron lump. They looked like something like a barrel, a stove, and what was that wheel...

Judging from the appearance, except for those ministers who had heard the explanation before, no minister knew what this was for? But one day they were sure that this thing would definitely not fly into the sky!

When everything was ready, the craftsman of the military battle and the eunuchs who helped the military battle stood on one side, a quiet whip sounded and everyone calmed down. Emperor Chongzhen smiled and introduced: "This thing is actually the technology artifact I mentioned. Of course, this is one of the technology artifacts. It is a guy created with the concept of technology to change all aspects of my Ming Dynasty."

Seeing that the ministers below were paying attention to the steam engine, Emperor Chongzhen continued to introduce: "The main principle of this thing, which I call a steam engine, is to burn coal and use the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to make the energy generated by combustion use as kinetic energy for other things!"

Speaking of this, he stopped and said, "I know, you may not understand what I said, nor do you understand the benefits of this steam engine. Therefore, please see first!"

After saying that, he nodded, and the craftsmen of the military battle began to operate on the spot.

After a year of improvement, this steam engine has improved a lot in terms of thermal energy utilization efficiency. Although the thermal energy utilization efficiency is still low compared to later steam engines, it can be considered barely useful.

The civil servants and generals in the court watched the craftsmen add coal to the belly of the steam engine, and then fiddled with it here and there, and they found that the steam engine's hands began to move, moving very regularly.

"Hmm???" Many civil servants and generals couldn't understand what this meant? What's the use?

Emperor Chongzhen knew that these unknown people would not have much association ability, so he took the initiative to introduce: "Please look, if this extended lever is connected to the wheel of the well that lifts water, it can lift water at a constant speed. Moreover, the lifting force is very strong and can lift a lot of water. What's more, as long as coal continues, no matter day and night, wind and rain, it will never tirelessly lift water. Of course, Zhuqing may feel that he is not interested in water lifting. But you can know, what will happen if this way of lifting water is applied to mines? What will happen if irrigation is applied to arid areas?"

His words began a new round of jumps, forcing these civil servants and generals to follow his ideas and start to follow them again. If they sneer at the water wells, then irrigation in arid areas will be taken seriously by them. Some officials who know about the mines are also very concerned about the water lifting in the mines. Because the reason why many mines have to give up after being dug is groundwater. But if such a thing keeps lifting water day and night, do you still need to worry about the water in the mines?

Thinking of this, many civil servants and generals began to pay attention to the strange steam engine in front of them.

But it was not over yet. Emperor Chongzhen continued to introduce: "Also, what if this lever is connected to a hammer? Just like a blacksmith hitting iron materials, manpower is sometimes poor, but this steam engine can never work tirelessly. In this way, how difficult will it be to make steel like this? What if it is connected to drill something? I can tell you that the steam engine is already being used in the military battle. The quality of the flintlock rifle is also higher than before, and the speed is much faster..."

These words surprised the remaining civil servants and generals who did not agree with it before. The flintlock rifle is a powerful weapon for the military and nationality. This thing in front of you can actually use it to create military and nationality and nationality, and it can create better military and nationality. This function cannot be ignored!

"... Also, when this lever is connected to the spinning machine? Will the situation of spinning with human foot change greatly? How many spinning machines can this steam engine drive? If this lever is connected to the wheel of the carriage, can the wheel be rotated all the time? As long as the coal is not burned, it will continue to move forward? If this lever is connected to the oar of the ship, will the ship no longer need manpower and will move forward automatically? If..."

As Emperor Chongzhen gave one example after another, as these examples were incredible one after another, even the ministers who had already known this steam engine in advance, such as Wen Tiren and others, looked at the steam engine in front of them with surprise and their eyes shining. If the examples given by the emperor could be realized one by one, they would be a little unimaginable, what would this world become?

Even Wen Tiren and the others were very surprised. Not to mention the civil servants and generals I heard of for the first time, they did not expect that this steam engine would have so many benefits! At this time, they had no doubt in their hearts that this was the technological artifact the emperor called!

However, although they had agreed, Emperor Chongzhen was still saying that he would continue to open his brains to them: "Technology is endless, which can make our Ming Dynasty's national strength leaps to one step after another, and can make our Ming people live better and better. I can tell you again that this is just an example of the heat energy generated by coal combustion, which is converted into kinetic energy. The heat energy generated by coal combustion is actually limited. If one day there is a more likely to burn, will this steam engine become very small? Also, the kinetic energy converted by this steam engine is actually limited, and most of the heat energy has been wasted. But think about it, what if these heat can be converted into kinetic energy one day in the future? Will the car go far if a piece of coal burns? Is it possible for you to tell you that as long as we continue to study it, with the wisdom of our Ming people, what I said will definitely be possible!"

"I can tell you that with the help of technology, our Ming Dynasty houses will be built higher and higher in the future, our Ming Dynasty will produce more and more, we will never eat enough food, and we will never wear clothes. Traveling thousands of miles a day is just a matter of little thought. One day in the future, we will be able to soar in the sky, and even go to the moon to see..."

The hobby of most civil officials and military officials is to be officials, but in the end some people have other hobbies, such as Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua, etc. They listened to the vision described by Emperor Chongzhen and imagined the things the emperor said. If one day in the future, it would be an unimaginable Ming Dynasty. When they thought of the excitement, they couldn't help but burst into tears. At this time, Xu Guangqi suddenly hated that he had been born for so many years. With his age, he was afraid that he would not be able to wait for that day!

Emperor Chongzhen's words were made up for something specific, and then he discussed them step by step, with reasonable and evidence, and in fact, not just talking nonsense. The civil servants and generals in the court were all talented in the Ming Dynasty. Except for a few others, most people could know that the scenes described by the emperor were as follows the emperor's ideas, which would probably be realized one day in the future!

When I think of this, who dares to say that this thing is a trick? Who doesn’t envy the steam engine that can bring about huge changes? How many people will become interested in the technology mentioned by the emperor from this moment? And after the content of the court talks recently spread, how many people will be inspired to learn and study technology?

This time, the court debate has very important significance in the history of the Ming Dynasty and even in the history of China. In fact, there are many scholars and officials who love to study. In the late Ming Dynasty, when flowers bloomed, the explosion of ideas and the superior living conditions all prompted many scholars and officials to do various research. Therefore, the technology in the late Ming Dynasty was actually very brilliant. It was just because of the demise of the dynasty and the killing of the Qing Dynasty after entering the Central Plains, and its rulers were afraid of the various restrictive measures taken by the Han people after rebelling, and forced this good phenomenon to be strangled.

The civil and military officials were surprised and exclaimed, and then whispered to their colleagues around them in a low voice, whispering to their colleagues around them, and couldn't help but say the thoughts that broke out in their hearts as soon as possible, and at the same time pointing at the steam engine.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about this, but just looked at the eyes of the ancients in front of him and asked them to discuss more, which would be good if they were excited.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "I have asked someone to register this steam engine in the Copyright and Patent Office. It will start production next year, and its application will gradually be launched. Of course, I am actually not satisfied with this steam engine and will continue to improve the military battle situation. If someone in the Ming Dynasty can also improve the steam engine and make it more complete, I will not hesitate to reward you! But I can tell you that if you want to master the magical artifacts, it is best to understand the basics of science and technology first!"
