Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 62: : Steam engine, start!
Late at night. Qi Lengzi snored like thunder.
Li Zhen sat outside the door, reflecting the moonlight.
Holding a needle in his right hand, he kept pricking his left arm, one needle after another.
Sweat rolled down from the pain, but there was no expression on his face. He just focused on the two words on the paper and his arm.
More than an hour later, under the ink. Two small characters appeared on the arm——Zhang Zhi.
Looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction, he laughed: "This way I won't forget, even if this piece of paper is gone, I won't forget these two words."
My heart hurts.
"However, what do these two words represent? Why am I afraid that I will forget."
“…”
————
"Li Zhen, I have a letter from you."
"Thank you."
"No."
After seeing off the classmate who delivered the letter, Li Zhen hurriedly walked into his dormitory with a sealed letter.
Just glanced at the signature on the envelope and the fact that the address was from the capital, Li Zhen's heart was beating wildly and he was extremely nervous.
'Student, please. ’
In the capital, there is only one person who can call himself a student, and that is Xun Shifei, the current Prince of the Eastern Palace.
"Qi Lengzi, close the door and don't let anyone in."
"Yes!"
With a bang, the door closed, and Li Zhen quickly walked to the bedside and sat down, feeling uneasy in his heart. He didn't know why the crown prince would suddenly write a letter to himself.
'Sla' tore open the wax seal, and Li Zhen shook out a piece of letter paper:
Brother has heard about the experience of the junior in the Eight Dragon City. This is the result of the Eighth Prince and Du Taiping taking the lead to make you coldly treated by the court. When my brother arrived at Eight Dragon City, you had already left Zhongzhou, and you felt ashamed that I didn't show up by your side when you needed me the most.
You don't need to worry. I will help you with activities in Zhongzhou. Father is older, and you will always return to Eight Dragon City one day. soon.
Eat well and dress warmly in Dongzhou, don't treat yourself badly.
I remember that you said in Jinzhou County two months ago that the steam engine would appear within three years. Brother, I can't wait, I look forward to your return to Eight Dragon City, and together with me, let this Kyushu prosper.
- Bi.
Looking at this letter, Li Zhen's heart jumped wildly, his eyes widened and he looked at the passage repeatedly: "Father is older, you will always have the opportunity to return to Balong City One day, soon."
What does this mean?
What does this represent?
Li Zhen made a bold assumption, can Xun Shifei just wait?
Inside and outside the words, Xun Shifei revealed a sense of urgency. He was eager to get up. He can't wait?
Li Zhen only felt chills all over his body, was he about to participate in a mediocre catastrophe? Or is it the wealth in the thrill?
I thought hard for a long time, but I was not sure what the prince really thought. But my heart is warmer.
In the letter, he first mentioned his guilt towards himself, which shows that Xun Shifei is very humane, and he really regards himself as a confidant.
Secondly, tell yourself a sensitive topic tactfully. He trusts himself. Although Li Zhen didn't dare to believe that the prince really couldn't wait for the time being, it was a big rebellion, but he could say such marginal words, which showed his trust in Li Zhen.
Finally, he expressed his hope that he would make a difference in Dongzhou as soon as possible. Lay the foundation.
Having broken through the main idea of this letter, Li Zhen couldn't wait any longer, and started gearing up: "I should do something."
"Okay, the steam engine. Then the steam engine!"
“…”
"What? Li Zhen wants to restore the steam engine?"
"Hahaha, what a joke. Although I admit that Li Zhen's level of knowledge is superhuman, but he is too arrogant. Is this something you can recover if you want to?"
"With today's scientific level, restoring the steam engine is like a dream."
"No one knows the principle of the steam engine. They only know that it is a mechanical heart that can change the progress of the world."
"No, it is a machine that provides power. There are clear records in ancient books that the current power can basically be divided into manpower and horsepower. The role of the steam engine is to replace manpower and horsepower. In the future, horse-drawn carriages can be used without horses. It can run faster, it is probably a steam engine. But it is difficult, because no one knows what it is."
"Li Zhen is a bit too whimsical."
"But science is to make bold assumptions and be careful to verify. I support Li Zhen's whimsy."
“…”
The entire Fuxing University was boiling, and everyone heard the news that Li Zhen was going to start the activity of restoring the steam engine.
After the school held a meeting to discuss, Fuxing University approved Li Zhen a special fund of 50,000 yuan to subsidize his scientific research funds for restoring the steam engine.
This matter has been officially recognized, and no one will say that it is a rumor. However, no one believed that he could succeed.
Maybe 50,000 coins will be in vain, but the school will still allocate funds.
Because Fuxing University adheres to the scientific concept, as long as you have an idea, as long as they think it works, they will support you. This is the privilege of students in this era, and it is also a kind of happiness for students in this era.
In the southeast corner of the school ~IndoMTL.com~ approved a large auditorium for Li Zhen, which is Li Zhen's scientific research laboratory.
In this auditorium, Li Zhen is not alone, there are three other people besides Li Zhen. One is Liu Jinghong, a senior in the physics department of the sixth year of college.
One is Qin Enze.
There is another named Fang Hanxian. Both of them were freshmen who enrolled at the same time as Li Zhen.
Liu Jinghong once challenged Li Zhen, and was convinced by Li Zhen's detailed explanation of the principle of leverage. When he heard that Li Zhen was going to build a steam engine, he came here passionately and wanted to do it with Li Zhen.
As for Qin Enze and Fang Hanxian, they were full of awe for this classmate of the same period. They had a kind of enigmatic trust in Li Zhen and believed that he could succeed. They are more passionate, they want to witness this historic moment. It's okay to fail.
It is worth mentioning that Fang Hanxian is a disabled person. He has six fingers on his right hand, which is defined as a disability in Kyushu. He is extremely humble, but he also works very hard.
"Li Zhen, if you convert the steam into power according to what you said, but I don't think it will work at all."
Liu Jinghong frowned, looking at a smoking teapot sitting on the stove: "Look, water vapor will come out from here. But the power is too weak. It's so big A pot of water, its energy is pitifully small. If the principle of the steam engine is really just to use the momentum of steam, wouldn’t it have been researched a long time ago? The power is too small, it should not be a steam engine principle.”
Li Zhen kept drawing pictures on the paper, and said casually: "It's not wrong, the principle of the steam engine is like this. But... I have a difficult problem now."
"What's the problem?"
"It's the problem you mentioned... The steam utilization rate is low."
