After Zhu Cijing came out of the imperial study, he did not rush to send someone to spread Xu Guangqi. He still had many questions to consider.

First of all, the Honor mission has given too many rewards. Until now, he has not yet figured out how much machine tool knowledge is installed in his head.

Then, the specific personnel involved in the construction of the military system also need to have a rough configuration plan. Xu Guangqi and the other five cannot make weapons alone.

Finally, the most important point is that he is the emperor and it is impossible for him to go to the scene every day to guide Xu Guangqi and others to make machine tools and weapons. Therefore, he must let Xu Guangqi and others fully understand the principles, functions and functions of various machine tools, otherwise they will not be able to make machine tools, and even if they do it, they will not be able to use it.

Because he was too devoted to the problem, Zhu Cijing didn't even pay attention to where he was going. Before he knew it, he came to the side hall where Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty did carpenter work.

In the past, when he came to the Qing Palace, he basically went directly to the side palace to "supervise" his father. This path can be said to be the most familiar to him. Now that Ming Xizong is gone, he still subconsciously walked here.

Zhu Cijiu walked into the side hall and looked at the familiar wooden instruments. He couldn't help but think of the time he was with Emperor Xizong of Ming. A sense of family affection surged into his heart, and tears were filled with his eyes.

Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty was actually a very good father. He cared for himself in every way and cared for him. It was false to say that he was not moved. However, he was not a qualified emperor. In order to evade responsibility, he valued Wei Zhongxian and other eunuch parties, which led to the corruption of the official system and the government became increasingly unstable.

Now that he has left, he has left a turbulent Ming Dynasty. Zhu Cijing really doesn't know whether to thank him or resent him.

He walked to the place where Emperor Xizong of Ming often rested, sat on the small board he often sat, and slowly began to think about it.

This thought took more than an hour. Cao Huachun stood aside and looked at the little emperor with distress. He thought Zhu Cijiu was missing the last emperor. He stood there and didn't dare to take a breath, for fear of interrupting the little emperor's worries.

Of course, Zhu Cijing was not missing Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, he was considering how to teach Xu Guangqi machine tool knowledge.

He thought hard for more than an hour and finally figured it out. The solution he came up with was very simple, that is: guidance.

To let Xu Guangqi and others understand the principles of machine tools, it is not possible to just give them drawings. It is best to let them invent it themselves. Only in this way can they make qualified machine tools.

Speaking of this invention, most inventions in human history originated from the bold associations of the inventors.

In other words, to invent something new, you must first dare to think, think boldly, and think freely.

Then, the direction must be right, association, association, and imagination must be related. If you think of a bull head that is not right, you cannot invent something.

It is actually not difficult for Zhu Cijiu to let Xu Guangqi and others invent the original machine tool, because everything that is to be "invented" is in his mind. This direction must be impossible to be wrong. The rest is to guide them to think boldly.

Although there were already many prototypes of machine tools in the Ming Dynasty, they could not be called real machine tools. Because they all lacked one core thing, that is, a stable power source.

Those who step on their feet, push them with their hands, and use the elasticity of trees or bamboo as power are not real machine tools, but can only be regarded as more complicated tools.

The machine tool power source provided by the system Honor mission is the most primitive steam power.

Even modern people don’t check it online properly, and they don’t know how this steam is converted into power.

Steam engines, if you think about it, it feels very profound, complex and professional. Most modern people dare not imagine this thing. Not to mention the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, I really don’t dare to think about it if I’m not bolder.

In fact, the principle of a steam engine is very simple. To make advanced steam engines on ships, it may be difficult to use in later trains, but it is still easy to make the most primitive steam engines.

Everyone, as long as they know the principle of steam power, they can understand what steam power is like when they think about it.

But most people don’t think about it. Few people think about more advanced motors. Who can think about steam power without any problem!

The ancients were different. At that time, almost all of them were human or animal power. Many scholars and scientists were thinking about the stable source of power.

As early as the first century AD, Greek mathematician Hero discovered that steam can provide skills. He thought boldly, but he thought about it in the wrong direction and invented a useless toy: a rotary ball.

In 1679, after seeing the steam sprayed from the pressure cooker, French physicist Dennis Baben also began to think boldly. He was thinking differently from Hero. He was thinking about how to convert this steam power into something that replaces human and animal power, so he created the first steam engine.

After a little sweeping the relevant knowledge of the system rewards, Zhu Cijiong felt that the steam engine was really simple. As long as he guided it a little, I believe Xu Guangqi would definitely be able to do it.

So he asked Cao Huachun to send someone to tell him that Xu Guangqi came to the palace to meet him. At the same time, he asked Cao Huachun to find a copper pot for boiling water and a small stove. Then he asked Cao Huachun to prepare some small items and began to wait for Xu Guangqi while boiling water.

Shortly after the water boiled, Xu Guangqi rushed over and rested for about two hours. His alcoholism had passed and he seemed more restrained, not as casual as noon.

After the monarch and ministers and masters gave great gifts to each other, Zhu Cijiong led Xu Guangqi to the kettle.

Xu Guangqi looked at the copper pot with boiling water and looked at Zhu Cijing for no reason. Do you want to invite me to have tea? I didn’t see the cup!

Of course, Zhu Cijing didn't want to invite him to have tea. He pointed to the steam coming out of the lid and spout of the pot and asked, "Teacher, what do you think of this heat?"

Xu Guangqi was even more strange. What thoughts, what thoughts? Who doesn’t boil water? Everyone has seen this heat, what thoughts can you have in this thing that you can see every day!

He thought for a while and replied reluctantly: "When you say the emperor, I think: The heat must be very hot and you can't touch it with your hands."

Well, the direction is wrong, Zhu Cijing continued to guide: "Then have you ever wondered why the lid of this pot moves?"

Xu Guangqi was confused. There was something to ask about such a simple truth, but the emperor had to answer when he asked. He had to answer helplessly: "This heat will naturally move with the lid of the pot."

There was a little bit of meaning, Zhu Cijing clapped his hands and said, "Okay, come here, block the spout."

The little eunuch who was serving him heard this and walked up respectfully, grabbed a cork plug with a thick cloth, and blocked the spout.

At this time, the lid of the pot trembled even more violently, as if it was flying up from the copper pot.

Zhu Cijiu stared at Xu Guangqi again and asked, "Mr., do you understand?"

What did you understand? Xu Guangqi was embarrassed, so he had to reply truthfully: "This, this, the heat can only flow in one direction, as if the momentum is greater."

This answer is very close to the motivation, Zhu Cijing ordered excitedly: "Press up the lid of the pot."

The little eunuch took out a thin piece of cloth, first wrapped the lid of the pot, and then pressed it hard on the copper pot.

He just pressed the lid of the pot when the cork on the spout flew out with a "pop".

Xu Guangqi looked at the spout in surprise, thinking about something.

Zhu Cijing guided again: "Is this hot air powerful? What do mentors think now?"

Xu Guangqi nodded subconsciously, and then looked at Zhu Cijiu awkwardly again. He really couldn't think of what Zhu Cijiu showed him what this thing meant.

Zhu Cijing asked the eunuch to bring a small cylinder that was prepared quickly and handed it to Xu Guangqi for him to take a closer look.

Xu Guangqi took the cylinder and saw it, and was shocked.

From the exquisite appearance of this small cylinder, it can be seen that this must be the last work of the Emperor, and it is probably used to store tea or something.

However, now this exquisite wooden cylinder has been beyond recognition. Two small holes are opened on the side carved with dragon and phoenix patterns. A larger hole is made in the lid, and a rough log pole stick sticks out of the big hole. It looks weird no matter how you look at it.

This is the last work of the late emperor. It is so spoiled. This thing can be said to be priceless now! It is completely destroyed now!

Of course, Zhu Cijing didn't care about this. He was thinking about how to guide Xu Guangqi to make the original steam engine as soon as possible.

He seemed not to see Xu Guangqi's expression and continued to guide: "Master, open it and take a look."

Xu Guangqi opened the cylinder cover with a painful look on his face and looked carefully.

The things inside are very simple. There was no change in the log tube, just staring at a log board on the log pole. The log board is exactly the same as the inner diameter of the log tube.

As he looked at it, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to the kettle. He looked at the hot air that was spraying out from the nozzle, and then looked at the two holes on the side of the log tube. Then he closed the log tube again and directly blocked the hole below the side on the nozzle of the kettle.

"Swoosh" the log pole on the lid of the log tube rushed outward and all of them popped out.

He blocked the hole above the side into the spout of the kettle, "swoosh" the log pole on the lid of the log tube inward, and retracted it all.

Xu Guangqi came to try it a few times regardless of the heat, and then he looked at Zhu Cijiu admiringly. He could even imagine that he was worthy of being a god descending to earth!

Seeing him like this, Zhu Cijing knew that he had understood the method of converting steam into power, so he quickly rang the railway while it was hot: "What if this cylinder is made of copper, what if it is made larger?"

Xu Guangqi replied frantically: "It must be more powerful than ordinary people!"

Zhu Cijiong felt that today is almost the same. Rome was not built in one day, and steam engines could not be made in one day. Now Xu Guangqi already knows the most core thing. The next step is to wait until he makes the real copper cylinder.

So he waved his hand and said, "I will give you this wooden tube. When you go back, hurry up and make a few copper items, and make a few more of the big and small items."

He thought that Xu Guangqi should have happily left, but he never thought that Xu Guangqi was stunned.

He said hesitantly: "This is the minister of the Ministry of Rites. It's okay to ask colleagues from the Ministry of Works to make a telescope tube. If you do this, people may not agree!"

Zhu Cijing slapped his forehead and said embarrassedly: "Yeah, I'm negligent. Wang Zheng is in Shuntian Mansion? I'll issue an order to transfer him to the Ministry of Works."

If I were afraid that the eunuch party would sing a counter-topic at other times, but today it was just right. I just promised them to appoint so many confidants and appoint a few more of them. This is the meaning of mutual exchange and peaceful coexistence. I think the eunuch party would agree, so the paralysis effect would be better.
