In the current Ming Dynasty, researchers are quite high-income earners.

And researchers not only have a high income, but also a low social status.

A researcher who looks sloppy and unkempt may have a title bestowed by the imperial court on him.

A seemingly inconspicuous bespectacled guy might be promoted to a nobleman because of overcoming a major technical difficulty in the blink of an eye, directly crossing the class and becoming a member of the Ming Dynasty.

This is the case with Huang Zhongqiu. Although he has not been able to obtain a title yet, his society is very high.

Highly esteemed in many places!

After bidding farewell to his old wife, Huang Zhongqiu prepared to go out.

And behind him, two plainclothes entourages followed closely.

These two entourages are the bodyguards provided by the Daming Royal Research Institute for such precious lumps as Huang Zhongqiu.

One Dongchang, one Jinyiwei, these two people are responsible for ensuring Huang Zhongqiu's safety, and at the same time they also have the role of monitoring.

"I'm not very good at drawing design, but I know several colleagues who are good at mechanical manufacturing and design."

This is a middle-aged man with a somewhat rich figure, and his facial features are not outstanding, even a little ordinary.

Teams of officers and soldiers of the Ming Army Navy also began to board the ship in an orderly manner according to different establishments.

"When the steam engine is started and running, there will be steam and black smoke. If the steam engine is installed on the front of the car, it will greatly affect the driver's sight."

It is easier to negotiate things at the wine table, which cannot be faked.

Huang Luzhuang and Huang Luming both answered Huang Zhongqiu's questions fluently.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely not let my husband's work go to waste."

"I believe they don't mind taking on some private work while they are doing the research institute's tough tasks."

"Nephew pays respects to uncle!"

"It's a coincidence today. Manxiangyuan just arrived at a bear that was hunted from Liaodong. Four bear paws have been ordered for two. We are lucky today."

"Mr. Huang, I have one thing right now, and I need you to help the staff."

Huang Zhongqiu brought his entourage to Man Xiang Yuan, one of the largest restaurants in Nanjing.

Huang Zhongqiu heard the words, and after thinking for a while, he spoke.

At the same time, a military officer also came to the school field and trotted all the way to the front of their respective military formations.

"As long as there is a little bit of technical difficulty, my Wang family can't do it!"

In his home, his son and nephew had already returned home from school, waiting for him, the head of the family, at the door.

"Excuse me, Wang Yuan!"

"So, I will listen to Mr. Huang!"

"If you go back to uncle, I want to try!"

Looking at the steam carriage on the drawing, Huang Zhongqiu fell into deep thought.

"I don't know how many business opportunities I have missed!"

He took the document and looked at the idea about the steam carriage on it, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Maybe you can try using the structure of the drive shaft!"

"Now, Mr. Huang can agree to the employment of my Wang's family, as a consultant for my Wang's machinery factory, and provide technical support for my Wang's machinery factory."

He climbed onto the high platform, stood in front of the microphone, and spoke directly.

And among these densely packed warships, there are three ships that are out of place.

In the eyes of many teachers, Huang Luzhuang is a well-deserved gifted student!

"Now, that carriage factory is taken over by my son!"

"set off!"

Wang Yuanwai squinted his drunken eyes, and said to Huang Zhongqiu.

"..."

"But my son is stupid, saying that since the steam engine can make the train run wildly on the rails, it must also be able to power the carriage."

"Wang Yuanwai is too polite!"

While eating and drinking, it was finalized that the Wang family's machinery factory hired Huang Zhongqiu as a consultant.

Upon hearing the words, Wang Yuanwai nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Huang is right!"

"..."

But if he had to redesign a blueprint, the amount of work would be enormous.

"These are some basic requirements put forward by the other party, please understand."

Listening to Huang Zhongqiu's words, Wang Yuanwai also woke up from the wine, and asked with a very interested expression on his face.

"In my heart, I am really grateful!"

Seeing his nephew answering fluently in front of him, Huang Zhongqiu seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and said.

He had just appeared outside the restaurant when someone came up to greet him.

……

A group of people soon arrived in the box, and the good wine and food were served.

It won't take long for him to point out some mistakes and omissions in the design drawings, which is a smooth thing.

"Then copy it down and ponder over it."

Although the wine table culture is a bad habit, its existence is reasonable.

"Do you have a blueprint? Show it to me."

Huang Zhongqiu took the blueprints and began to flip through them.

It's just a pity that at present, the internal combustion engine is still a secret of the court. Although Huang Zhongqiu drank some wine, he still knows what can and cannot be said.

Because in this day and age, no one cares whether animals are eaten to extinction.

"Chain drives often cause problems when used on bicycles, let alone used on cars."

For the sake of money, Huang Zhongqiu would definitely not refuse!

"But for this money, Wang Yuanwai needs to discuss it with his colleagues!"

Huang Zhongqiu looked at Huang Luzhuang and brought up this topic.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuanwai hurriedly said.

"His Majesty's order."

Huang Zhongqiu is indeed a master of technology, he is a man of science and engineering, but men of science and technology generally have low EQ, not low IQ.

He is a true genius!

In an instant, shouts erupted in the army formations one by one.

Wang Yuanwai did not hesitate, and said directly to a follower beside him.

Seeing this, Huang Zhongqiu also knew the identity of this person, and without pretension, he stepped forward a few steps and said very politely.

What Huang Zhongqiu said was a small steam engine, but what Huang Zhongqiu thought about was the internal combustion engine project that their research institute is currently tackling.

The leather boots stepped on the concrete floor, raising smoke and dust!
Wearing the red military uniform on his body, he looked very energetic.

"I can serve as a bridge between Wang Yuanwai and my colleagues."

When Huang Luzhuang heard the words, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he spoke.

Huang Zhongqiu nodded slightly, and took his son and nephew to the study, asking while walking.

"Stop talking, it's all in the wine, it's all in the wine!"

"But I can't give you the original. Uncle, I have to take this to work with my colleagues."

"The imperial court wants to promote the development of industry and commerce, which is obviously a big outlet."

Hearing the cheers of the soldiers below, Chen Ze's face remained unchanged, and he spoke again in a calm voice.

But he still forced a smile on his face and said.

Wang Yuanwai's food looks really ugly!
After all, to redesign a drawing, the workload is not small, and the technical difficulty is also very high.

Huang Zhongqiu nodded slightly, then took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, handed it to his nephew, and said.

Huang Zhongqiu wanted to compare the knowledge of his son and nephew to see how well they learned.

……

Now, after experiencing the systematic training of Daming Royal University, his talent has been developed to the greatest extent.

"My Wang family has invested in a carriage factory in Nanjing, mainly to produce some two-wheel, three-wheel, four-wheel, and even some special carriages."

But the aura of wealth and nobility on his body couldn't be concealed no matter what.

"Don't be limited by the existence of the train. The steam engine, as the power supply device of the vehicle, does not have to be installed on the front of the vehicle. The rear of the vehicle may be more suitable."

On the original historical track, he has hardly received any serious training, and he can show extremely high talents in scientific research.

Huang Zhongqiu couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

Wang Yuanwai squinted his drunken eyes and began to talk about things.

Huang Luzhuang nodded vigorously.

"Haha, I wonder what Mr. Huang means?"

Huang Zhongqiu put his finger on the installation position of the steam engine on the drawing again, and said.

"You don't need to be too polite, just tell me, what have you learned in school during this time?"

Dizzy from drinking, Wang Yuanwai took Huang Zhongqiu's hand with one hand, and patted the table with the other and said.

"From the perspective of thinking, there is nothing wrong with your young master's idea. Maybe this steam carriage can really be made."

"My Wang family has money and people, so naturally I can't miss this opportunity."

"However, for 50 silver dollars per month, you want me to design blueprints for the Wang family's steam carriage. Where can such a cheap thing be?"

"The matter of designing drawings is not the job of consultants!"

When Huang Zhongqiu heard the words, he just continued to evade with a smile.

"With 50 silver dollars per month, I can spare some time during my rest to solve some technical problems for Wang's machinery factory."

"Your Majesty has reserved a box in this Manxiang Garden. It is a great honor for Mr. Huang to come."

"As far as it is concerned, I found three mistakes and omissions on this blueprint!"

The current Daming doesn't have anything to say about protecting animals, as long as it can hunt wild game, it's free to eat.

"and then?"

Obviously, the idea of ​​the steam carriage interested him very much.

The attendant nodded in agreement, then took out a stack of drawings from the briefcase, and handed it to Huang Zhongqiu.

"Fa Qing!"

"But it's a pity. My Wang family has no technology. This machinery factory has indeed been built with a lot of money, but it only does maintenance and simple machinery production."

Wang Yuanwai nodded his head when he heard the words, and felt that it was really worthwhile for him to spend 50 silver dollars a month to hire such a consultant.

This middle-aged man was accompanied by several attendants, among them was the acquaintance Huang Zhongqiu knew.

"..."

While speaking, Wang Yuanwai gave up half of his body, let Huang Zhongqiu be in front, and led Huang Zhongqiu into the restaurant.

"This would be a big security risk!"

For rich people, eating a wild bear paw is nothing at all, even if it is braised panda paw, stewed Chinese alligator, vinegared Yangtze finless porpoise and other foods, many people have eaten it.

"Such a large steam engine is very burdensome to put on the car."

"I would like to trouble Mr. Huang to help us redesign a blueprint of a steam carriage. I wonder if Mr. Huang is willing to do it for you?"

Huang Zhongqiu heard the words, thinking that he just got the money just now, so he didn't refuse, just nodded and said.

The call for emergency assembly resounded throughout the barracks, and harsh electronic sounds were transmitted through the speakers.

"And the third point, which is also the most important point, is that the steam engine equipped with the steam carriage is really too big!"

While speaking, Wang Yuanwai toasted Huang Zhongqiu again.

Huang Zhongqiu also agreed with a smile.

"I'm very busy with work next day, I'm afraid I don't have time."

"Let the vehicles go without the animals that pull them!"

Seeing this, Huang Zhongqiu didn't refuse, and drank it all after clinking glasses.

"Mr. Huang is here, it's a long way to welcome, really a long way to welcome him!"

Especially Huangluzhuang!

Standing on the deck of his own ship, Chen Ze looked at the densely packed Ming warships in the naval port, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Huang Luming and Huang Luzhuang saluted Huang Zhongqiu together.

Compared with the bulky steam engine, the expected steam carriage may be more suitable if the internal combustion engine can be used as the power source.

After the words fell, he turned around and got off the high platform with his personal guards, heading towards the battleship in the military port.

You want to do this for 50 silver dollars a month?
I want to eat fart!
Hearing Huang Zhongqiu's rejection without hesitation, the expression on Wang Yuanwai's face was also embarrassing.

"Do you want to try this?"

"Let's go, fight!"

"The son has seen the father!"

"Perhaps it is more appropriate to choose a small steam engine!"

A large amount of gunpowder, shells, and all kinds of supplies needed for the army to go out are constantly being transported to the transport ship.

Huang Zhongqiu chuckled and said.

"Take out the blueprint and show it to Mr. Huang!"

An officer and soldier of the Daming Navy quickly rushed out of the barracks and quickly assembled in the open space in the camp.

Without waiting for Wang Yuanwai to ask, Huang Zhongqiu continued to speak.

"One is the transmission structure of the steam carriage. It is best not to use a chain, because the probability of the chain being damaged is too great."

"Fa Qing!"

"As long as the master can design the blueprint, my royal family will be very grateful."

Following a burst of ticking telegrams, the military order from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion was conveyed to the camp of the East China Sea Fleet of the Daming Navy on Chongming Island.

"Fa Qing!"

"Ask my uncle to design a wagon powered by a steam engine."

"Uncle took a private job, which was given by Wang's Machinery Factory."

It might even take away his work time!
Compared with such private work, Huang Zhongqiu obviously paid more attention to the technical research tasks in the research institute.

Stand tall and tall!
Chen Ze, commander of the East China Sea Fleet of the Daming Navy, strode up to everyone.

After the banquet, Huang Zhongqiu bid farewell to Wang Yuanwai, then left Manxiang Garden, and went straight back to his home.

……

"He wants to make a steam carriage. I wonder what Mr. Huang thinks about it?"

Shanghai, telegraph room!

The shape of the ship is slender and beautiful, and pieces of metal armor are riveted on the side of the ship. At the rear of the deck, the thick chimney is very conspicuous...

But the most conspicuous ones are the rotatable turrets on the deck of the ship.

The dark muzzle and the metal shell of the turret reflected cold light under the sunlight!

……

ps: I will go out to watch the Lantern Festival later, that's all for today, I wish all readers a happy Lantern Festival.
