Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 27 Watt and the Steam Engine
"You have chosen the steam engine technology as the host, and the available civilization points will be reduced by 1000 points. The industrial revolution system will summon scientific and technological talents from parallel time and space to help you realize the steam engine technology... link..."

"The link is successful... Helping you realize the technology of the steam engine is Watt, the British inventor, Bolton, the owner of the Birmingham Iron Foundry, and fifty skilled workers in the factory."

The cold voice of the industrial revolution system sounded.

Hiss... Chu Yun gasped.Bolton doesn't know who it is, but everyone knows Watt.Wattner was an important figure in the first industrial revolution, the maker of the first practical steam engine!
In the blink of an eye, 52 Britons from parallel time and space appeared in front of Chu Yun.

"You are Watt?" Chu Yun could tell at a glance that one of them was dressed differently from the others, his hair was messed up, and he looked like a technology madman.

"Yes, James Watt is willing to serve you sir." Watt bowed respectfully to Chu Yun, "This is the owner of an iron foundry in Birmingham, and he is also a partner who sponsored the research and promotion of steam engines, Mr. Bolton."

Watt, who was summoned, was over 40 years old, a generation older than Chu Yun.But it was Wat Chu Yun who was relieved, because at this time the steam engine technology was really matured in Watt's hands.

"Mr. Bolton, how about you as the director of our Jinzhou smelter? As long as the smelter operates properly, your salary will be very considerable." Chu Yun looked at another important person who was summoned.

"We were summoned by the officer. We were originally meant to serve the officer. The officer can give the salary as he pleases. However, I have one request." Bolton said politely.

"Just say what you want," Chu Yun said.

"At present, the sir is using the smelting technology of the 17th century, but our iron foundry is using the smelting technology of the 18th century, which is a whole generation behind. Some technologies cannot be replicated by our workers alone. Please, sir, ignite the smelting technology of the 18th century. Smelting technology." Bolton said expectantly.

Shit, this product actually needs the smelting technology of the 18th century.Chu Yun felt a pain in his flesh.Finally, like a local rich man, he has more than 2000 available civilization points. The steam engine technology alone consumes 1000 points, and now he has to ignite the smelting technology of the 18th century...

The smelting technology in the 18th century is further divided into sub-technologies such as blast furnace ironmaking technology, blast technology, and agitation method. A total of 500 civilization points are consumed.

"Can we first use the smelting technology of the 17th century..." Chu Yun still thought about using the remaining civilization points for technology in other fields, so he hesitated.

"Sir, if we have the smelting technology of the 18th century, the cost of smelting metals will be reduced several times! And we can make better quality steel! The sooner we have better smelting technology, the better we can be. Benefit early!" Bolton urged.

Hearing the words of Bolton, a casting expert, Chu Yun couldn't help being a little moved: "Damn, let's go all out!"

Chu Yun opened the industrial revolution system, found the metallurgical technology, and ignited all the sub-technologies below in one go!To be civilized is to be willful!
"Host, you have chosen the blast furnace ironmaking technology, and the available civilization points will be reduced by 100 points..."

"Host, you have chosen the churning method technique, and the available civilization points will be reduced by 100 points..."

"Host, you have chosen the hydraulic pump blowing technology, and the available civilization points will be reduced by 100 points..."

……

Seeing the rapidly passing civilization points, Chu Yun felt a pain in his heart, and his face twitched slightly.These civilization points were all he risked himself, and he almost spent them all at once!
"Okay, how is it now? Is Mr. Bolton satisfied?" Chu Yun smiled slightly.

For the steam engine, for the new smelter, Chu Yun was desperate.Of course, on the surface, Chu Yun still had to pretend that the clouds were calm and the wind was breezy, and he didn't care about a little civility.

"Very satisfied! With these technologies, Mr. Watt and our workers will be able to produce a joint steam engine. At that time, the steam engine can be used in the textile industry, mining industry, metallurgy industry, paper industry and other industrial sectors, allowing workers The efficiency is infinitely improved," Bolton said.

"En." Chu Yun nodded, as if he could see a bright prospect for his power in the future.

The beginning of the industrial revolution was marked by the jenny textile machine, but it was the steam engine that really triggered the energy revolution and had a wide-ranging impact on the world.The Jenny textile machine can be used in the textile industry, and the steam engine can be used not only in the textile industry, but also in the production of various industries such as mining, metallurgy, papermaking, and flour.With the steam engine, the tens of thousands of people in Chu Yun's territory can have the production capacity of tens of thousands of people.

"Sir, I have one more request." Bolton said again.

"You said."

"In the next era, a technology called 'flush toilet' has just emerged. If it can be used on a large scale, it can effectively improve the work efficiency of workers..."

"roll."

……

Bolton became the owner of the Jinzhou Smelter, Watt became the chief technical expert, and with fifty skilled workers as the team, the Jinzhou Smelter was officially established.However, the equipment and premises of the Jinzhou smelter still need some time to be built. Before the official start of construction, Chu Yun asked this group of British workers to train [-] gold soldiers captives to become local skilled workers.Smelters are responsible for smelting steel, producing steam engines, and producing various industrial equipment.

In addition, Chu Yun established the Jinzhou Ordnance Bureau, with himself as the person in charge, which was divided into the Gun Manufacturing Department and the Artillery Manufacturing Department. Skilled workers from Guanglu Island trained the Jinbing prisoners.The Ordnance Bureau is responsible for the production of muskets, artillery, and various types of ammunition.

Whether it is a smelter or an ordnance bureau, it needs to consume a lot of iron ore and coal.If all iron ore and coal mines have to be purchased from merchants in other places, the cost will be too high, so Chu Yun, who has a territory, plans to acquire iron ore and coal mines by himself.As a result, mining factories were also established, and prisoners of war were mainly engaged in the hard work of mining.Of course, Chu Yun, who came from later generations, knows the hard work of the workers. For these mining workers, Chu Yun pays wages on time, only works during the day, and has one day of rest every week.Originally, the ancient army treated the prisoners of war poorly. Chu Yun's arrangement has already made many prisoners of war feel grateful.

In short, there are so many things to do, and it is really laborious and laborious to establish an industrial system in the 18th century in Jinzhou.

On the third day after Chu Yun occupied Jinzhou, the Ming army of Lushunwei finally went north to Jinzhou City.

Lushun Wei Li Jinguang was originally facing some of the Jin soldiers in Jinzhou City, but the Jin soldiers retreated inexplicably, and there were rumors that Jinzhou City was occupied by a Ming army of unknown origin.The unpredictable Li Jinguang hesitated for a long time, and then led the army north to Jinzhou and arrived at the city of Jinzhou.On the top of Jinzhou City, it really is the flag of the Ming army flying.

"Where did this Ming army come from?" Li Jinguang wondered.
