Shangong is right. Li Qi is indeed going to the smelting plant. At present, the population growth is facing a bottleneck, and he can only rely on machines to make up for it.

"Wow! How many steam engines have you produced?"

When he arrived at the smelting plant, Li Qi was stunned when he entered the door. He saw brand new steam engines placed inside, with red lights in the black, which was completely a modern factory.

"Chief, we now have seventy-two steam engines." Agu seemed extremely excited, and he immediately said: "Only I have enough black iron, we can produce no matter how many steam engines there are."

For a long time, they were researching and developing how to produce steam engines instead of other ones. Now the steam engine production technology has been very perfect and is directly industrialized. Therefore, during this period, Agu and others produced a large number of steam engines.

This factory is actually a steam engine factory.

Of course, Li Qi was also very happy. This is what the Huaxia Alliance lacks most at present. I looked around and saw that the steam engine today is not the simple cylinder of the past. It can be said to be the third-generation steam engine. Every detail is very well done and the functions are very complete, and it can be sold as a product.

As he walked, Agu suddenly jumped to the innermost super-large steam engine and said, "Chief, we can now process the deep holes."

Li Qi was fascinated by the sight, and did not come back to his senses and said, "What did you say?"

Agu said: "It's deep hole processing! We have now broken through the problem of excessive temperature."

He said, pointing down, saying, "Chief, please see, there are two large water tanks on both sides of this steam engine. There is also a small steam engine in the middle. When the steam engine moves, it can press water out of the water tank and then shoot out through the iron pipe. In this way, you can drill holes while using water to prevent the temperature from being too high."

Li Qi observed carefully and found that it was actually a very simple design. It was actually a manual water gun. It was the same principle as a syringe. It was just a steam engine that used the piston to move back and forth, absorb the water from the water tank, and then shot it out. However, A Gu was able to think of this method to prove that his talent was unparalleled. Li Qi was also a little excited and said, "Then try it."

"Why."

Agu immediately asked someone to put an iron rod on it, and said to himself: "Chief, this is thanks to the purple gold stone you gave us, which allowed us to polish a more accurate colorful boring knife. Now there is a special steam engine to polish these iron rods. Look at this iron rod, isn't it very round?"

Li Qi smiled and nodded, saying, "It's very round."

Agu is very talented in machinery, but he still looks very immature in his words. Just like a child, he always wants to share with adults when encountering happy things and then get praise from adults.

After the iron rod was installed, Agu fine-tuned the machine and then let the Mercedes start the steam engine.

Sizzling!

Only a harsh sound could be heard, and fire was splashing everywhere.

After drilling for a while, Agu operated the machine and moved the boring tool back. At the same time, water was shot out from the water pipes on both sides to cool down the iron rods. Then he continued to drill and continued to repeat.

Although it was boring, Li Qi was very excited to see it.

Because he witnessed the production process of the first barrel with his own eyes.

After a long time, the drilling of the hole was completed, but Agu, who was striving for excellence, immediately replaced a boring tool and polished the hole to make the inside smoother. This technology is actually the technology that produced the cylinders.

After the processing was completed, Rong took off the iron pipe and handed it to Li Qi.

Agu raised his head and said with anticipation: "Chief, do you think it's okay?"

Li Qi is not a professional, he doesn't exist, and you can tell the good or bad at a glance. He has to try it before he knows it, but he said, "It's perfect."

Agu said: "The chief may not be perfect. If you give us time, we can do better."

Li Qi smiled awkwardly and nodded, "It's perfect now, but I believe it will be more perfect."

Rong suddenly asked, "Chief, what are you using to produce this iron pipe?"

A light flashed in his red eyes, looking at Li Qi expectantly.

Rong and Agu didn't know what the iron pipe was used for, but Chi knew that he was planning to make a weapon.

Li Qi smiled and said, "It's not sure yet. Let me tell you after I'm sure."

Rongmu said dullly, he was not very curious, he just asked casually.

After inspecting them, they came to a studio outside. There are too many steam engines here and there are no longer drawing drawings. They saw that the studio is full of drawings, and they even have to walk carefully, let alone the place where they sit.

Agu and Rong quickly packed up.

Li Qi smiled and said, "These drawings are very precious. You can't throw them around casually, you have to sort them out at ordinary times."

Agu hurriedly said, "It's not that Rong, it's me... I don't like to organize it very much." As he spoke, he scratched his head awkwardly.

Li Qi smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll arrange someone to help you clean up."

Many scientists in later generations were similar to Agu. They didn’t like to organize them very much. Someone had to help him organize them. As long as you have the ability, of course there would be no problem.

Agu was very happy to hear it and felt flattered, but this was actually what he expected.

After Li Qi sat down, A Gu's excitement seemed to have not passed, but it was no wonder, because Li Qi knew how to appreciate his talent here and said excitedly: "Chief, I think this steam engine can help us complete all the work. Just say that transportation, I saw that it seems to be quite difficult for us to transport now. I think I can make a steam car to help us transport."

Chi said excitedly: "Steam a car?"

Agu nodded straight and said, "Yes, I think it should be possible. Since this cylinder can drive such a big hammer, it can also push the wheels. You can wait a moment."

As he said that, he stuffed his small body into the pile of drawings, rummaged through for a long time, found a drawing, handed it to Li Qi, and said, "Chief, look, this is the steam car I designed, but this is just the original design drawing, but I think it must be feasible."

Chi turned his head and looked at it, his eyes flashed, and he said excitedly: "If we can really produce this kind of steamed car, we will become stronger."

He has always been cool, and there are not many things that can excite him, but steaming cars is enough to excite him, because humans are now very troublesome to transport. At present, they can only rely on a transport team rented from the White Horse God Walk to be responsible for transportation, but they can not rent it to you. If they are controlled by others, they are like being stuck in their throats.

Agu just opened his mouth, suddenly felt that Li Qi didn't seem to be too excited, and asked nervously: "Chief, did I do something wrong?"

Li Qi was stunned and hurriedly said, "Of course not, it's just... it's just that this drawing fascinates me too much."

"Is that true?" Agu immediately became excited again.

Li Qi nodded, suddenly changed his mind and said, "But I think this kind of thing needs to be done step by step, and you can't be too hasty. It's just like we produce cylinders. If we didn't improve the technology of cylinders step by step, how could we produce so many cylinders in this short period of time? I think we still have many shortcomings, such as steam hammers and stamping technology. We still have many shortcomings. After we improve these, it will become very simple to produce this kind of steam car."

In order to produce bottle caps and cans, Li Qi took out a lot of technical information about stamping, but the stamping technology for processing large pieces has not been improved.

Agu nodded repeatedly and said, "The Chief is right. It's me, it's me who's too anxious."

Li Qi shook his head and said, "No, this cannot be said to be a hurry. This is a kind of wisdom. I think it is difficult for a perfect race to think of this."

Agu's face turned red when he was praised, and he hehe: "We 黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄黄�

Li Qi smiled and said, "Next, we have to constantly improve stamping technology and produce that kind of iron pipe."

Rong suddenly said: "Chief, our factory is still a little too small, and it is difficult to use a larger steam hammer."

Li Qi said: "Don't worry, I have already negotiated with Xiao Wu. They will help us build a larger factory."

In fact, this factory is only for experimentation, not for production. It is really not easy for Agu and others to produce so many steam engines here.

Afterwards, Li Qi took out some information about stamping technology to A Gu. After A Gu got the information, he immediately ignored Li Qi and looked carefully on the table. It can be seen that he was really interested in the mechanical aspects. This is why he could think of steaming cars, because no matter what he did, he could only succeed by investing 100% enthusiasm or even fanaticism.

Li Qi and Chi did not disturb them, and quietly left the house and went to the lounge next to him. He would not leave here for the time being.

"It seems you have something to say to me."

Li Qi looked at the worrying equator.

Chi said with confusion: "Chief, these weapons and transportation are the ones we lack most at present. If we have these two things, we humans will definitely become stronger. I think Agu and the others should find ways to produce steamed cars and weapons as soon as possible."

Although he was very rigorous in everything he did, he was still not mature enough in many aspects. It seemed that I had to write down Sun Tzu's Art of War and hand it over to him. Li Qi was silent for a little, and then said, "You sit down first."

Chi sat down and looked at Li Qi with a little curiosity.

Li Qi said with a serious expression: "Chi, as the supreme commander of our China Alliance, you have to think twice before doing everything. You can't just think from your own perspective, but you have to think from the perspective of other races. For example, you want to change a bed, but you can't just knock and beat the house in order to be able to sleep peacefully tonight. You have to consider whether this will affect the rest of the people next door."

Chi seemed to understand a little, but her eyes still had doubts.

Li Qi said again: "You are right. If we have more powerful weapons and transportation that can control ourselves, this will indeed make our China Alliance stronger, but do you think it can be so powerful that even the royal family fears us?"

Chi frowned slightly.

Li Qi looked at him meaningfully and continued: "In fact, weapons can still be produced secretly, because I can no longer let the situation of Gu Diao happen. We must have enough strength to protect ourselves. At this point, we can only rely on ourselves. But in terms of transportation, we must be cautious, because transportation has always been controlled by the royal family. If we really produce steam cars, it will definitely have an impact on the transportation of the royal family and damage the overall interests of their royal family. They will not allow this situation to happen. Even if we create more advanced weapons, we cannot be opponents of the royal family."

Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, the royal family doesn't need to take action. He just needs to adopt a black iron embargo on us, and I have no choice."

Transportation is definitely the core interest of the royal family. However, whether it is a steam engine or a steam car, it requires a large amount of black iron, and it is impossible to use paper to paste it. However, the black iron is monopolized by the royal family, and as long as it is embargoed, they will have no choice. In comparison, weapons may still be able to be produced, but Li Qi is not sure, but he must have secretly produced guns and cannons.

Chi thought for a while and said, "I understand what the Chief means, but I think it is very contradictory. If we don't develop like this, we will never be able to become strong. This situation will always exist. What is the meaning of our doing all this?"

"You are right, and I don't hide it from you. Actually, I have been thinking about this issue, but I haven't come up with any good idea yet."

Li Qi shook his head and said, "But before we have absolute certainty, we must be cautious and act according to the opportunity. Because we humans cannot withstand any tossing. Even if their royal family loses once, they are still royal family, even those second-class races are the same. But if we lose once, we will be completely finished, and may even implicate all humans. Therefore, when we touch the core interests of the royal family, we must be cautious, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Let's put it this way, we must take a step forward, but when and how we take, we must consider carefully."

The rise of human beings is different from other races. Other races rely on physical talents, and physical talents are definitely not as good as the perfect race. But human beings rely on wisdom, and they don’t know how many years later. Li Qi does not think that the royal family hopes to see humans develop steam cars, because this will have a great impact on the core interests of the royal family.

But humans must do this. If they don’t, transportation will be completely controlled by the royal family. Humans are no physically talented than other races, which will be very uncomfortable.

Li Qi could only try it slowly, and eat meat first, and then talk about the others later.

He was not in a hurry, because he knew that the rise of a race or nation really required the right time, place and people. Just relying on wisdom to accumulate, it was very likely to fail. Sometimes, he really needed God's help.

As the saying goes, planning depends on people, and success depends on heaven.
