Chapter 2673 2349. Test drive
The steam car of the Ministry of Science and Technology finally completed the final steps and was done.
Zhao Dongting was reviewing memorials in the imperial study room at that time, and the eunuch outside the door reported to the Minister of Science and Technology Lord Li for a visit.
Zhao Dongting immediately understood why Li Zhaoen came. He put down the memorial in his hand and walked out of the imperial study room. He smiled at Li Zhaoen and said, "Zhaoen, go to the Ministry of Science and Technology?"
Lee Zhaoen was slightly stunned, then smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Then he followed Zhao Dongting to the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Chen Wudao and others also planned to follow him, but were directly stopped by Zhao Dongting, "You don't have to follow me, just go there yourself!"
The steam car incident is still a secret in the Song Dynasty.
All research in the entire Ministry of Science and Technology should be said to be mostly secret.
Especially when it comes to steam engines, we are even more cautious and cautious.
Zhao Dongting made the steam engine public when Emperor Axing, Lord Bo Ni and others came to the Song Dynasty. After all, it was just a waste to suck their curiosity first.
But there is still a specific application for the manufacturing of steam engines, which is not revealed at all.
In this way, the Song Dynasty can always be ahead of the world in terms of technological level.
And gain the greatest initiative and benefits in the industrial wave that may come in the future.
Chen Wudao and others bowed to the promise and retreated.
Zhao Dongting took Li Zhaoen to walk in the palace.
He asked with a smile, "Have you got the steam car?"
"yes."
Li Goudan, who deserves to be called the number one scientific researcher in the Song Dynasty today, couldn't help but be excited and nodded, "I came here to ask the emperor to test the drive."
"good!"
Zhao Dongting nodded, his eyes also a little excited.
He had seen that steam car before, and it was actually not much different from the first steam car invented in the world in his previous life.
All three wheels, the difference is that the steam engine of this car is placed behind.
There is only one wheel that controls the direction in front.
It is much lighter than the steam car in the previous life, and can be used for two people.
And there are the most basic things such as horns and brakes.
Of course, it is still within the category of "fool" cars.
As the "chief designer", although Zhao Dongting did not participate in the manufacturing, he knew the structure of this car better than anyone else.
Go to the Ministry of Science and Technology.
The two of them headed straight to the hall where the steam cars were stored.
By then, many people from the Ministry of Science and Technology are waiting and watching.
Seeing Zhao Dongting coming, he quickly bowed.
They are also looking forward to the "first driver" of this car.
God knows how they were as heart-wrenching as they were waiting for Zhao Dongting to come.
Zhao Dongting smiled and asked everyone to be exempted from gifts, and walked straight to the steam car.
First, I took a closer look.
In terms of craftsmanship, of course, there are still many shortcomings.
But being able to build such a car is definitely a big leap in the industry of the Song Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, this may start a new journey in the history of transportation in the Song Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, this can accumulate a lot of experience for Li Goudan and the others, and maybe trains and other things will be released soon.
The Industrial Revolution in the Song Dynasty was in full bloom.
After looking around the car twice, Zhao Dongting didn't care about the shocking world and took out his internal energy. He actually carried the small steam car with his own strength and walked outside.
Many people from the Ministry of Science and Technology were confused.
They heard that the emperor also has extremely high attainments in martial arts, and is even the most powerful masters in the world.
But in the end, I have never seen it with my own eyes, and it is far less shocking than it is now.
When he got outside, Zhao Dongting gently put the car on the ground, turned around and said to Li Goudan: "Zhao Yes, come here to accompany me."
Li Goudan was very moved, but after all, he bowed. "I dare not cross it, please ask the emperor to go first."
Zhao Dongting said: "What is the one that cannot be surpassed? I will come if you ask you to come."
Goudan had to come forward obediently.
When I arrived next to Zhao Dongting, I heard Zhao Dongting say softly: "I hope that in the future, the Ministry of Science and Technology will successfully develop steam cars, and the Minister of Science and Technology Li Zhaoen and the Emperor will take the test drive together."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Goudan's eyes showed a strong look of gratitude.
He knew that the emperor wanted him to be famous for his eternal life.
After getting into the car, Zhao Dongting turned around and opened the steam engine combustion chamber behind him.
Ignite the coal and other combustion substances inside by a fuse soaked in kerosene.
This is a little more advanced than the steam engine in the previous life, and it can be said that it is a coincidence.
Then close the combustion chamber.
Soon, thick smoke rolled out from the chimney.
There are two pedals under Zhao Dongting's feet, one of which is the brake and the other is the switch that controls the steam engine.
If you want to park this car, you need to turn off the switch first and then press the brakes.
It's not that convenient to operate.
"Sit down."
In full view of everyone, Zhao Dongting couldn't hide his excitement and said something to Li Zhaoen.
With his right foot, he stepped on the switch that controlled the steam engine.
The car moved.
And the speed is not too slow, a few minutes faster than the normal situation of a carriage.
The eyes of the Ministry of Science and Technology lighted up, and then some people's eyes were moist.
They have also invested a lot of energy in this.
Thick smoke slowly floated into the air.
Zhao Dongting drove the world's first steam car and circled around the square.
Chapter completed!
