2235. Demonstration of the steam engine
At some point, the sound of the guzheng stopped. The saint's dance also stopped.
Applause rang out in the hall.
"snort!"
His Highness seemed unhappy, hummed softly, glanced at Zhao Dongting in resentment, and walked towards his seat.
She just noticed, and Zhao Dongting's eyes never fell on her from beginning to end.
This is the time she didn't know how many times she doubted her charm in Zhao Dongting.
Although it was indeed the Pope's instruction to get close to Zhao Dongting, now she is really a little competitive with Zhao Dongting.
Cao Zhengyao gently pressed his hands on the strings of the guzheng, and his bright eyes looked straight at Zhao Dongting.
She didn't want to miss it again, and just wanted to tell Zhao Dongting about her heart. Because she was worried that the emperor would suddenly disappear for a few years without knowing what.
A woman's best years are ultimately limited. She is unwilling to wait until her spring flowers pass, so she can only watch Zhao Dongting from afar.
Zhao Dongting naturally felt the deep feelings contained in this gaze, and couldn't help but touch it.
He did not come back to his senses until the applause was about to stop and said with a smile: "His Highness and Miss Cao are both talented..."
At this moment, Wu Amiao suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I think you have less words."
"Um?"
Zhao Dongting looked at him.
The guy grinned and smiled: "In addition to his talent, His Highness and Miss Cao are also beautiful in this way."
"Ha ha."
Everyone in the hall laughed.
Only two people looked at Zhao Dongting with resentment.
Of course, it is the Saint and Cao's pillow.
They really don’t know if they can afford the word “National Beauty”. If this is true, why does the emperor seem to be not interested in him?
Zhao Dongting felt these two resentful gazes very keenly, picked up the wine glass to cover up his embarrassment, "You are right, come, drink. I thank you for your good wishes from His Highness and Miss Cao."
Everyone drank a drink.
Emperor Axing said: "Just just now, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven said that there is something for us to show you, but I don't know what it is?"
Everyone remembered this and looked at Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting glanced at Li Zhaoen and clapped his hands outside.
Regarding the steam engine, he did not intend to make it public so early. But his ideas have changed recently.
As for the use of steam engines, he has memories of his previous life, he is definitely not able to catch up with anyone. Even if the steam engine is spread, no country can surpass the Song Dynasty.
And it is basically impossible for them to build a steam engine.
Take out the steam engine now, such a magical object will definitely make the kings of all countries extremely moved.
The Song Dynasty has helped them so much for free over the years, so we can't help them like this all the time. It's time to get some resources from their territory or discuss some conditions.
Now is the best time.
Zhao Dongting hoped to open up the beginning of the industrial revolution in these allies. Then, the achievements of the Song Dynasty's industrial revolution were spread throughout the world.
In this way, the Song Dynasty will most likely be invincible for a long time.
Not to mention anything else, just say that if trains and rails are invented in the future, if the Song Dynasty controls railways in various places, it will be a continuous stream of wealth.
Ruling is never done by force. Even if it can, it is definitely not the best way.
What Zhao Dongting wanted was that the whole world was inseparable from the Song Dynasty. If any problems arise in the Song Dynasty, the world's science and technology and economy would regress completely, then the Song Dynasty would be indestructible.
Two Shangyuan Realm worshipers from Wuding Hall carried the steam engine covered with red cloth into the hall.
Put it on the ground and make a clanging sound.
Everyone's eyes were instantly attracted by this big guy.
Emperor A Xing asked, "Your Majesty the Emperor, don't you know what treasure this is?"
Zhao Dongting nodded to Li Zhaoen.
Li Zhaoen walked forward and uncovered the red cloth, revealing the steel monster inside.
Everyone showed a look of confusion.
Then they all looked like Zhao Dongting.
Except for Zhao Dongting and Li Zhaoen, no one else had seen a steam engine. Even Le Chan and other women had a confused look in their eyes.
Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "This is a new invention of our Song Dynasty Ministry of Science and Technology. I named it the steam engine."
Emperor Ah Xing could not hold back, so he went up to watch and touched again.
King Boni couldn't help it when he saw it.
More and more people came forward, looking left and right, but their eyes became more and more confused. Even His Highness, the Saint, stepped forward.
They naturally couldn't see the mystery of the steam engine.
In the end, the saint couldn't help it and asked, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I wonder what the steam engine... is useful?"
Zhao Dongting chuckled softly and said, "Its role is very great. It can replace human power and horsepower in many aspects."
"Do you mean, do you work with this thing?" said the saint.
Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "It's almost the same!"
Everyone was stunned.
They really couldn't imagine what kind of work this iron lump could do.
Seeing that Zhao Dongting was so angry, he clapped his hands and asked someone to lift the steam engine down and said, "When the steam engine is truly released, I will let you see its wonderful uses!"
For a moment, several kings were thinking.
Chapter completed!
