Vol 2 Chapter 617: The key to a new era

Born and ill, Liu Yi has experienced too much in this life, Liu Bei died, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, this time Wang Cai died, Liu Yi was very uncomfortable, but his emotions did not fluctuate greatly. After all, for a dog, Being able to live for thirty years is considered longevity.
In this snowy weather, Liu Yi built a shack under the castle and helped Wang Cai build a tomb.
Although it was freezing cold, Lv Lingqi was always with Liu Yi. Even after leaving the castle, the temperature suddenly dropped and she always stayed with Liu Yi.
Until the tomb was built and Wangcai was buried, Lv Lingqi leaned on Liu Yi and said, "Fu Junmo is too sad. In fact, Wangcai is already very good."
"Yeah." Liu Yi touched the tombstone and smiled. "Wangcai has been with me for thirty years. For him, our family may be its life."
Although he was laughing, there was a sense of vicissitudes in his eyes. At that time, Wangcai was still a puppy, and Liu Yi was just a small craftsman nestled in Wollongong. Years have passed.
Liu Yi suddenly looked at Lv Lingqi and said, "Wait for this matter, my wife will accompany me back to Wollongong."
In this world, Liu Yi has always felt that he has no hometown, but at the moment, he suddenly gave birth to the idea of ​​going back to Wollongong to see. After all, it has been more than thirty years. Those people I knew at that time did not know how many are alive? There are still a few remaining in Wollongong. Counting it, it can be regarded as half of my hometown.
"Huh." Lu Lingqi nodded gently.
The snow in Dawan has been snowing for several days. This is actually a good phenomenon. Is Ruixue a good year? For the people, even if the life is a bit harder, at least there is hope.
The people of Dawan have gradually settled down. They have gradually accepted the rule of the Han people. Although the two languages ​​are not available, the senior Chinese official has been running around for everyone. Before that, he also promised that the tax burden would be reduced every year. Halfway through, although many people don't think this is true, there is some hope in their hearts.
Some people with flexible minds start to learn Chinese actively, because this may be the mainstream of Dawan in the future. Dawan has a special academy, and there will be people who specialize in teaching Chinese. The teacher is not a Han, but Liu Yi specially Picked out, Dawan who can speak Chinese.
In the winter of Xingyuan ten years, the Kangju people launched a tentative offensive and were beheaded by Luther.
In December, the messengers of the Kangju faction came to blame and demanded compensation. They were ordered to be collected by Liu Yi and hung in the most conspicuous places.
After learning the news, King Kangju was furious, and he personally led his troops to attack, and was defeated by Liu Yi on the riverside of the river. This time, Liu Yi showed a different kind of coldness than before, and 30,000 Kangju troops were killed by Liu Yi. Wang was captured and sent back to Chang'an. At the end of December, Liu Yi selected a Kangju aristocrat who knew Chinese and was good to the great Han.
At this point, the name of the great man began to be in places such as Megatron, Guishuang, etc. The two countries did not dare to venture to seek provocations. At the same time, the people of Dawan gradually became popular.
Before the Great Wall was lifted, Liu Yi built several small towns in Dawan dedicated to resting businessmen from all over the world. As a gateway to the west of the Han Dynasty and an important trading city, Liu Yi maintained an encouraging attitude towards business, but On the other hand, special attention is paid to commercial tax.
In the spring of the eleventh year of Xingyuan (AD 238), this season is the rainy season in Dawan. It is extremely precious. Liu Yi recruited several old farmers from Dahan and exchanged farming experiences with the people of Dawan to increase agricultural output in Dawan. As a farming civilization, Dahan's farming is much more advanced than Dawan.
Manure, ditches, and intensive cultivation, the population of 300,000 is by no means the limit that Dawan can bear. At the same time, the first batch of immigrants transferred from Xiliang was also sent in. There will be many contradictions. Throughout the spring, Zhang Yuan and Luther were traveling between cities and towns, arranging the Han people to stay, arranging farmland, mediating the contradictions in various places, and selecting officials to report.
As for Liu Yi, the highest official of Dawan, this time is very leisurely. Of course, it is not really leisure. He only rarely pays attention to military and political affairs. During this time, he has been improving the manufacture of steam engines. The water resources in Dawan Relative to the Western Regions, it is ok. The most important thing is that a large amount of iron ore, copper ore and rare metals have been found. The steam engine has also been continuously streamlined by Liu Yi, which has greatly reduced resource consumption.
After years of research and continuous improvement of machine learning, the steam engine can now be used in various mines, which greatly improves work efficiency and reduces the demand for manpower.
Steam engine power conversion +68, airtightness +69, loss -66, power transmission +61, working efficiency +68
Looking at the height of the equipment in front of him, with the help of the attributes, he finally managed to meet Liu Yi's tightness requirements, and the heat energy conversion rate should be higher than that of the previous generation steam engine.
"Sikong, this ..." Zhang Yuan looked at the steel monster in front of him with horror. His expression was a little unbelievable, although he knew that Liu Yi had been studying this one that could provide dozens of times of manpower in recent years. Machine, but when the steam engine really appeared and was put into operation, it was still a shock.
"You can make a train!" Liu Yi flashed a look of excitement seriously. Although the steam engine does not represent the industrial age, its appearance is definitely a benchmark for the industrial age. It will not be a dream to enter the steam age in the future. Liu Yi thought of the first One thing is to make the steam train, it is too far from Changan from Dawan, even if it is a rail car, it has to be more than half a month, and the rail car has a limited carrying capacity. If the painting made by the steam train is more than half a month The time can be shortened to two to three days. In this way, the Han may not see it when he enters the mechanized civilization, but within the next two or three hundred years, it can definitely be done.
"Train?" Zhang Yuan looked at Liu Yi puzzled.
"You will understand." Liu Yi smiled and did not explain, and looked at Zhang Yuandao at the moment. "Inform the county of West Zhou to prepare manpower. In the next three to five years, there will be a major project to be done!"
The train may be important, but the more important thing is the track. Without rubber, even if there is a lot of oil resources, Liu Yi also gets the car out, so for many years to come, it will be very important after the train comes out. Transportation, as for the railroad track, Liu Yi also thought that if the iron is still an important resource, it is impossible to completely prevent people from coveting it, so in addition to the law, heavy penalties are imposed on those who steal railroad tracks. In addition, its own protection also needs to be perfected. Liu Yi is planning to build a Yongdao to increase the crime cost of those who want to steal rails. From Dawan to Changan, the distance is nearly seven thousand miles. The production of rails is a terrible amount.
It also has to pass through some important cities in Xizhou and Xiliang. At present, these require a lot of human support, whether it is the construction of rails or their own smelting and construction of Yongdao. Among them, the consumption of cement and iron ore is absolutely based on Calculated in 10,000 tons, of course, there is no metric unit for this year and month.
As far as the mining speed of the Dahan is concerned, the iron ore alone is required. I am afraid that the entire Dahan will be mined for two or three years. This is impossible for the court to accept. Therefore, before building the track, Liu Yi had to put the iron ore in various places. The output is raised, but you can build the tunnel first.
"Well!" Zhang Yuan nodded. Although he didn't know what Liu Yi was going to do, it must be related to this steel monster.
"Then I will go everywhere. The situation on Dawan is already stable. It's up to you two." Liu Yi patted Zhang Yuan's shoulder and smiled.
"Well!" Zhang Yuan sully salute.
Liu Yi didn't have much to say. Now he took Lü Lingqi to pack up and set off. In the first battle, I went to Yutian first. The mineral resources there are rich. I need a steam engine to develop minerals. The second station has to go to Shancheng, and then transfer. , Dunhuang, Wuwei, Jincheng, Yunzhou (Hetao).
Liu Yi led Lu Lingqi and set foot on the railcar.
...
"Steam engine?" Changan, above Chaotang, looked at the information sent by Da Wan, and Liu Chan looked at Qunchen with some blankness. "I remember Sikong said this thing in the past ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and made a model, It's just what the steam engine is. Can anyone know what the fathers are? "
The concept of the steam engine already has a very mature concept in the Mo School. Nowadays, many people from all over the world are studying it, but it is not clear to the ministers above Chaotang.
"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang stood up and bowed. "The steam engine was in Jian'an years. Bo Yuan has proposed that the water can be boiled by combustion, and the water vapor overflowed from the boiling water can be converted into mechanical power through the mechanism to achieve replacement. The role of manpower. "
"Sikong has done it now?" Liu Chan said inconceivably.
Although there are people in various academies studying this thing, and even the steam engine has been written in the tenth volume of Tiangong Kaiwu, it is not difficult for people who are proficient in this aspect to understand the problem of power transmission and transformation in principle, but for so many years, no one has been Being able to do it, Liu Chan always thought it was just a fantasy, but did not expect Liu Yi to do it.
"It seems to be true now." Zhu Geliang laughed. He also likes to study these in his free time. He has always been interested in Liu Yi's concept. Even if he has done a few simple steam institutions, it can be regarded as one of the steam engines. Let's plant it, but really put this kind of thing into practical use, and Zhuge Liang has never been able to do anything. Now that Liu Yi has done it, it will also represent that the Han will enter a new era.
"With the help of Sikong, it's really the blessing of my great man!" Liu Chan sighed. "According to my edict, the government offices around Xizhou and Xiliang are waiting for Sikong to send out, but there is a need.
"Your Majesty, Si Kong's book also stated that it would require tens of billions of money to support this early stage ..." Huang Hao on the side cautioned carefully.
"..." The smile on Liu Chan's face gradually froze, and it only took a long time to say silently, "Come step by step, now the court has everything except money."
