Chapter 739 The First Car

"Father, is this the car you mentioned? It's so ugly!"

Seeing the strange-shaped object not far away, Prince Jiang Yunfan turned to look at Jiang Chuan and asked.

"That's right, it's too ugly, uglier than a carriage." The eldest princess Jiang Yunxue also echoed.

Although Queen Bai Jinxiu, Qi Xuan and other concubines did not speak, judging from their expressions, they all had the same idea.

It's no wonder they, the thing in front of them is really ugly.

The carriage was dismantled from the carriage, and the three wheels were also made of wood, but a layer of iron was wrapped around the wheels.

There is no roof shell in the car, and there is only one seat at the front. Instead of a steering wheel, it uses the same handle as a bicycle.

The most striking thing is the huge boiler behind the seat, the thick chimney next to it, and the linked steam engine next to it.

One person sits at the front and picks the direction, and another person uses a shovel to add coal to the boiler at the back to maintain power.

The cars even travel on a track about 100 meters long.

And the speed of progress is very slow, and the big chimney is emitting white smoke as it travels.

To be precise, the object in front of me is more accurate than a car than a primitive train.

But when you think about the industrial level of this era, you can't be too harsh. After all, a group of people from the Royal Academy of Sciences spent countless efforts to make it out.

"It's a bit ugly, but this thing will come in handy when it develops, and it will even profoundly change the face of the world." Jiang Chuan looked at the ugly primitive driveway in front of him.

"Change the world? Father, this thing can walk slower than a human, let alone a carriage. How can it change the world?" Jiang Yunxue asked suspiciously.

"These are just immediate problems, and they will be improved soon. In the future, maybe you don't want to ride a horse anymore, and you want to take a car when you go out." Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

"Father, will there really be such a day? No matter how you look at it, this thing can't compare with a carriage?" Jiang Yunxue looked back at the ugly primitive car and asked doubtfully.

"New things often have many problems, which is normal. Yunxue, let me ask you, what do you think is the biggest difference between this car and a carriage?" Jiang Chuan looked at his daughter and asked persuasively.

Jiang Yunxue was clever and said almost without thinking: "The carriage needs horses, but this one doesn't."

"That's right, that's it. The change of the power source is the most important thing. Although it seems to run very slowly now, it is not as good as a horse-drawn carriage, but with the continuous improvement of technology, the car will become faster and faster in the future. In terms of speed, load capacity, or distance, it is far from being comparable to a horse-drawn carriage.

For example, if it takes a horse-drawn carriage to travel from the capital to the outskirts of Beijing, then it will take half a day at most by car in the future.Even in the future, the ship will be equipped with the steam engine on the car, which will greatly increase the speed of the ship, and the size of the ship will also expand a lot, so that our navy can discover more islands, patrol in a wider sea area, and have enough resources. Force to defend the sea area of ​​our Great Qin.

Just think about what kind of grand occasion it must have been at that time, the roads all over the world are full of cars running to and fro, rivers and lakes, rivers and seas, thousands of boats competing to flow, how majestic and mighty! "

Others don't know the changes that the steam engine will bring, but Jiang Chuan knows it very well, so he is not disappointed by the crude and crude car in front of him, but is very excited.

After all, this is the first epoch-making industrial product produced under the guidance of his theory without borrowing the power of the system, and it still has a sense of accomplishment.

In his previous life, he also really wanted to own a car of his own, but it was a pity that he didn't wait for his driver's license test, and before Xiti's first car in his life, he was tragically smashed to death and crossed.

So the original car in front of him also has a trace of his complex in it, but it is not enough for outsiders.

When everyone heard what the emperor said, thoughts and longing were revealed in their eyes for a moment.

The dean of the Academy of Sciences standing aside also quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Just now, His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Eldest Princess made him feel anxious, fearing that His Majesty the Emperor would be furious if he was dissatisfied. Now it seems that His Majesty is still very lenient, and even seems to be in a good mood.

"Ma Aiqing, the first-generation product has met my expectations, and I am very pleased. I will reward you all. You will report the people who have contributed to this research and development, and I will reward you for your merits. " Jiang Chuan turned around and looked at the dean of the Academy of Sciences with a pleasing expression.

"On behalf of all my colleagues in the Academy of Sciences, I would like to thank Your Majesty Long En. I will definitely work hard to develop a better car for Your Majesty and Daqin, in order to repay Your Majesty Long En!"

Dean Ma hurriedly thanked him excitedly.

A group of researchers behind them also looked excited, bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

"Freedom of courtesy. You have to remember that you are the most precious talents of my Great Qin, and the key to my Great Qin's ability to be proud of the world and dominate the world. As long as you serve the country with your heart and devote yourself to research, I will never treat you badly. You Throw in peaches, and I will protect your prosperity and wealth for generations. I will never treat those who sincerely serve the country badly, this is my promise, and it is also the promise of all emperors after the Great Qin Dynasty."

Jiang Chuan glanced at everyone in front of him, and said loudly.The voice that strengthened the internal force was heard clearly in everyone's ears.

"Your Majesty, you are wise, we will devote ourselves to the Great Qin Dynasty from generation to generation, and we will never break our promise!" Everyone was so excited that they bowed down again.

After guiding Dean Ma and the researchers on the direction of improvement in the future, Jiang Chuan left the Academy of Sciences and returned to the palace with his concubines and children.

Not long after returning to the palace, Hu Zongxian came to see him.

Although the emperor Jiang Chuan bears the title of supreme commander of the National Defense Forces, his daily affairs are presided over by Hu Zongxian, the governor of the general staff.

So Hu Zongxian is actually the top leader in the army.

"Hu Ruzhen is here? Didn't he go to inspect the Liaodong War Zone? When did you come back?" Jiang Chuan was changing clothes and was about to go to the shooting range in the imperial garden, and asked suspiciously.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the chief inspector seems to be in a hurry, and he seems to have just rushed back." Zhang Hai, the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, replied.

Jiang Chuan's heart moved, thinking that something big happened to Fusang, and it was something that Hu Zongxian couldn't decide.Otherwise, with Hu Zongxian's usual calmness, he would never have rushed back in such a hurry.

"Hu Ruzhen, please come in," Jiang Chuan ordered.

Not long after, Hu Zongxian, who was in a hurry, walked in quickly.
