In response to Lu Zhuyu's question, Zhu Bajie mentioned the name of the steam engine, a cross-age mechanical product.

In his description, the steam engine has become a magical instrument that can rely on very little manpower to generate huge power, and even that very little manpower is only spent on operating this magical machine.

Zhu Bajie's description was vivid, as if he had really seen the so-called steam engine, and the scene he described was indeed very similar to the steam engine in Su Lin's memory, so that Su Lin really believed that his fellow villager had made a steam engine in front of this pig for a moment.

But soon, suspicion defeated faith, and after a brief excitement, the smart brain once again occupied the high ground.

Su Lin knew very well how terrifying, complex and powerful the so-called steam engine was. It was the most brilliant mechanical representative of the industrial revolution in human history, and the technological content it showed was far more complex than the principles it carried.

Su Lin also knew the principle of the steam engine. He believed that Zhu Jiuqin must also know that compared to the Liefeng Crossbow of Shenji Camp, if a steam engine could be made, history would be pushed forward for countless years.

In the face of the invasion of Japanese thieves, Daxia would easily expel them like Columbus had reduced the dimensionality to attack the Indians.

However, the steam engine did not appear, and other cross-age products with very simple principles did not appear.

Because the foundation required for the birth of the steam engine is far more difficult to obtain than the few lines of principle, the Daxia Kingdom is still difficult to produce steel that can bear steam pressure, and the so-called 100-yuan steelmaking has no force to bear huge pressure at all.

Su Lin guessed that Zhu Jiuqin must have thought of many ways, such as thickening the steel wall, but he must have encountered new difficulties. As the container thickens, the conduction of heat energy will also become a problem.

The steam engine must have sufficient firepower to turn a large amount of water into steam in a short time so that the lid can move. Any modification of the container will increase hidden dangers and change efficiency.

In short, Su Lin realized that the steam engine was the same as a hot air balloon after almost traveling through time. It seemed that the principle was simple and could be easily manufactured, but it was extremely complex and difficult to reproduce in ancient times.

The hot air balloon at least has the prototype of Kongming Lamp. The only technical barrier is that it does not have enough light and thin, good elasticity and good sealing balloon materials. The pre-mounting technology required by the steam engine is much more troublesome than the hot air balloon.

In comparison, Zhu Jiuqin's final choice to study cement was undoubtedly an absolutely correct decision. Once the research and development was successful, it could establish the strong position of the Great Xia Kingdom in war, and the reproduction of cement was much simpler than others.

It is hard for Su Lin to believe that a pig has mastered such a technique.

However... the material of the 38-large cover is so close to modern craftsmanship. Perhaps the fellow villager has indeed mastered extremely terrible industrial technology, that is to say, the other party may be really a fierce man who can climb the technology tree alone!

"That's thank you for your hard work. How long do you think it will take to produce a large amount of cement?" Lu Zhuyu asked Zhu Bajie.

Zhu Bajie: "It is definitely not possible to produce large quantities of products. You have also heard that it takes a lot of effort to make cement, and many people need to work hard."

Su Lin quietly waited for the two to end the exchanges. In the end, Lu Zhuyu planned to hand over some of the people in the Shenji Camp to Zhu Bajie for management, and asked the Inspectorate Office to report to the court to find a suitable position for him.

In addition, Lu Zhuyu also arranged several personal assistants for Zhu Bajie. Su Lin knew that those assistants were nominally assisting the other party in completing large-scale cement production, but in fact they were surveillance and secret learning.

After all, Zhu Bajie's exception to turning from a livestock into a human is definitely more dangerous than ordinary monks in the eyes of Zhu Xianshi. Su Lin has no doubt that if Zhu Bajie had no value at the moment, Lu Zhuyu would immediately perform the inherent functions of Zhu Xianshi.

After seeing off Zhu Bajie, Lu Zhuyu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Lin: "It's really terrible that life has not been peaceful recently."

"I saw it. This is how war is. Have you heard of Zhenwu Sect?" Su Lin asked.

"Zhenwu Gate? Of course I know, but Zhenwu Gate doesn't

As a big sect, it is more like a branch of the Daluo Tianmen. Almost all small sects that believe in Zhenwu Daluo Tianzhen Lord will give themselves this name. What's wrong?"

"I encountered some suspicious things."

Su Lin told Lu Zhuyu everything he encountered in Zhang's mansion about the existence of the Mo family and the Zhuxiansi Sect. He also mentioned the suspicious Feng Shui mystery and the suspicious residence location.

After hearing this, Lu Zhuyu's expression became even more serious.

She rubbed her eyebrows and looked a little irritable: "I had known that those people would have problems back then. Even if the people who joined the Zhuxiansi Division had signed the curse of entering the sect, as long as those people were there, the existence of Zhuxiansi Division would sooner or later be known to other immortal sects.

There are more and more things, and the court is in chaos. You should have seen that the government is attracting men everywhere.

But this is not what Your Majesty meant. Your Majesty did not want to use this method to force the people to the battlefield, but the insufficient number of soldiers was a real problem. If an official wanted to complete the tasks issued by the Ministry of War, he could only force the men to strengthen them.

But in this way, Daxia became a big beam again, which was what His Majesty said in person when he went to court."

Lu Zhuyu stared at the memorial in front of her, looking confused and helpless.

"And His Majesty doesn't know the existence of the Zhuxiansi, nor does he know about the cultivation of immortals. The wars alone force the court to repeat the same mistakes. In this way, let alone sticking to the original ideals of Emperor Gaozu, whether Daxia can survive is a question.

This has nothing to do with whether the belief is degenerated or not, but if you do not choose to degenerate, you will only be destroyed by the enemy.

Unless we can repel the Japanese army again, it will be impossible for Daxia to return to the past."

Su Lin frowned, pondered for a moment, and replied, "It's so high."

"Hmm? What did you say?" Lu Zhuyu was shocked and looked up at Suning in surprise.

"I said the court is so arrogant. If this continues, it will perish sooner or later. Zhu Min is still too young." Su Lin said coldly.

Lu Zhuyu frowned: "You can't say that. The emperor is still very young, determined and talented. If it weren't for this war, Daxia would definitely get better and better. The current situation can only be attributed to the fortune... It's really bad luck."

"Talent? Is personal talent important? It's not important at all. The problem of the court now is that it is superior and does not regard the people as human beings. What ideals, "put the people first" and "put the people first" have become a slogan and rule, and they have lost their understanding of these words."

Lu Zhuyu was shocked by Su Lin's rebellion, but she knew very well what kind of person Su Lin was.

So she asked, "What do you mean?"

"I ask you, what do the people think of the court now?"

Lu Zhuyu fell into silence for a long time and finally said, "We're all back. I heard from the people under my command that everyone misses Emperor Gaozu very much and feels that the current court is as corrupt as Daliang."
