"Hey, it's moving!" Many people said loudly as they watched the flywheel rotate. Although no one moved those things, the wooden poles and wheels actually started to move by themselves.

As the water temperature began to approach the boiling point, the connecting rod and flywheel rotated faster and faster, and a stream of colored steam began to emerge from the exhaust cylinder of the cylinder. The flywheel also began to roll the rope and lift the bucket that had been placed in the pond. After reaching a certain height, the student poured out the water and threw it into the pond, which continued over and over again.

"This thing actually moved by itself." Many ministers walked over and watched it, and found it very interesting.

After all, it doesn’t require manpower and can move automatically, which is still a bit novel. But after more than ten minutes of freshness pass, everyone loses interest.

"But what's the use of this?" Someone began to wonder.

Tong Zhenye immediately shouted: "I made such a toy in more than a month? Although it looks quite novel, if you lift water, it will make them lift it much faster than this! Even the water truck you made before is more useful."

"That's the case! It seems a bit interesting, but it's useless." Others also commented, a little surprised that Ren Baqian had such a thing, which was not very consistent with his identity.

You should know that what Ren Baqian made before was quite surprising. How could he make such a thing with such a big fanfare this time? He even mobilized everyone to come and asked everyone to come to see it.

"Old man, so you have a long beard and short knowledge. Is this a toy business?" Qin Chuan immediately laughed. However, this also made a group of people laugh. Many of the officials present looked at each other. You should know that there were many officials in the court with bald heads and beards present.

"What do you understand again?" Tong Zhenye snorted coldly.

Qin Chuan, in the attitude of just Tong Zhenye agreeing, must object, and vice versa: "This toy is quite interesting. The most important thing is that so many people make it together. Before, these children just drank and played, and now they can make such things. Not bad, not bad!"

As soon as Qin Chuan finished speaking, Tong Zhenye almost burst into laughter.

Ren Baqian's face turned black, so this old man might as well not speak.

When he turned his head and looked at the students, many of them looked gloomy. It was obvious that the words of Qin Chuan Tong Zhenye and the two old men caused a huge blow to the students who finally made the first steam engine for more than a month.

As for the others, most of their ideas are similar to Qinchuan Tong Zhenye.

Originally, after entering the school, these students said that Ren Baqian wanted to teach the truth about everything in the world, but everyone was looking forward to it.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Ren Baqian was upset when he saw everyone's reaction, and his mind changed slightly, and he also understood his mistake this time.

The role of steam engines is very important and the significance is very important, but these people don’t understand at all. Without their own knowledge as future generations, how could they understand what steam engines represent?

"You only see this thing that can lift water, but it's just a prototype that has just been made. In fact, there are too many things this thing can do, such as being able to drag a truck without a horn."

"Isn't that still a toy? I have countless big horned cows. I can use horned cows to pull a cart, so why use this thing?" Tong Zhenye really didn't understand why Ren Baqian got on this. You should know that the solar furnace he made before played a big role and could directly smel iron ore.

There is also well salt, which allows Dayao to produce some salt by himself.

The cement and red bricks also played a big role. The newly launched steelmaking furnaces outside the city are made of cement red bricks and can also be used to build city walls and build houses. Compared with the previous drilling of rocks, it saves a lot of manpower.

But now he really can't see what it does.

Not only did he do this, but others also agreed with his words. Only the old fox Shi Qing looked at Ren Baqian and kept showing an unpredictable and profound smile.

"The biggest function of a steam engine is not only limited to one place, but represents a new power source. It can replace the power source of human and animal power!

Whether it is smelting, mining, or pulling goods, it originally required a lot of human and animal power to achieve it. However, the steam engine can reduce manpower and material resources to a minimum and increase the speed to a higher speed. This is the meaning of the steam engine.

For example, with a steam engine, you can develop a train. This thing can pull goods and people. Its speed is several times that of a horned cow, and its load is not comparable to that of a horned cow. One can compare to the goods that hundreds or thousands of horned cows can pull.

How much manpower is required to transport goods for hundreds or thousands of horned cows? How much does it cost during the itinerary? How long does it take to get from here to the Northeast Protectorate?

As long as the steam engine is improved and the train is built, you can travel day and night. It originally took half a month to deliver it, but now it can arrive in just three days. If food and army are mobilized during wartime, what an advantage is this?" Ren Baqian said with a dark face.

I was actually despised by this old man.

I was actually despised by a group of primitive people.

It's simply unbearable!

"Do you think you said?" Tong Zhenye said with some doubts.

Ren Baqian grinned and wanted to kick the old man: "Have I ever told lies before?"

"Tell lies often!" Tong Zhenye asked without hesitation.

"When did I tell lies? There are other things in the solar furnace, which one has not achieved the effect I said?" Ren Baqian widened his eyes. He really wanted to kick Tong Zhenye's crotch now.

Old man, do you know that this is called slander?

"Last time you said you were asking me to come to Yanyun Tower!" Tong Zhenye touched his beard, and he looked like you were lying to me.

The empress's face flashed with a blue flash, and she shot him out with one kick, and looked at Ren Baqian with a bad look.

Qin Chuan grinned and was happy to see that the old man was in trouble.

"I really don't like going to brothels. He insisted on pulling me, so I had to perfunctory him. This is called a kind lie." Ren Baqian looked very aggrieved.

The empress glared at him and said, "When will the things you said be realized? After all, I can't see anything now."

She had some understanding of what Ren Baqian said about the train, but others could not imagine it at all. Only by making it for everyone to see it can everyone change their minds.

"If it's fast, you can make a small steam train in one or two months. After success, you can make a real train." Ren Baqian thought for a while and said, it's not difficult to make a small steam truck head. Just improve the steam engine and change the flywheel driven by the connecting rod into the train wheel.

It is easy to do it yourself, but it will take some time to let these students do it. However, students must also do this so that they can grow.

So Ren Baqian's goal is to first change the steam engine into a small locomotive, as long as it can run, and then enlarge it in proportion.

In this way, after the steam engine and the locomotive are done, these students will have a considerable understanding of steam engine and physics, and they will learn or do something much faster in the future.

"Then I'm waiting to see you make what you said." The empress nodded. Then she looked at the many students with a little gloomy expression: "Do it well, it depends on you."

When the Empress said this, many ministers were a little surprised. You should know that this was not something you said casually.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty valued these things so much and said something like "Dayao's future depends on you."

In their hearts, the children of each family who are extremely talented are still the future of Da Yao.

However, the Empress's words made the students feel like they were injected with blood. I guess they would not say anything else to the battlefield now.
