Chapter 809

This is not to say that they are sycophants, but that they have voiced their hearts. The more they study, the more they can feel the greatness and painstaking efforts of the design drawings.

"Come, come, I respect you all, without your hard work, the steam locomotive will never come out!"

Night Breeze raised his glass to invite him, and Huang Yueying beside him also raised his glass, with the joy and excitement on his face that couldn't be concealed.

Everyone drank until the glass was dry, and they were hooked.

"There are still too few Mohists. The country needs talents like you, and the imperial court should support them more."

Night Breeze deliberately let out a sigh of emotion, and asked tentatively: "Xiao Zhang, if I give you a chance to take your brothers to Taishan Academy to teach and learn Mohist things, would you like it?"

Zhang Pu's eyes suddenly brightened, and he hurriedly clasped his fists together: "Stay true to what you want, don't dare to ask for your ears!"

Night Breeze was overjoyed: "Very good! Don't worry, leave this matter to me. Mohist knowledge is the way to enrich the country, and it should be promoted and carried forward. Students don't have to be officials to serve the country. Scientific research is also a good way." choose."

Night Breeze could clearly see the excitement on the faces of the Mohist students in the palace.

Night Breeze pondered for a while, and said, "Well, Yueying is not suitable for showing her face in public. Tomorrow, Xiao Zhang will demonstrate and explain the steam locomotive and its future functions for you adults, how about it?"

Zhang Pu clasped his hands together: "No!"

Huang Yueying smiled shyly and remained indifferent.

Early the next morning.

Before the officials arrived at the palace, they were stopped by the little yellow gate and taken away.

When everyone felt that the atmosphere was not right, they saw a locomotive made of steel, displayed in front of everyone.

This locomotive is quite oriental.

The front of the car is not as square as imagined, but made into a dragon head. The wheels attached to the track are also depicted as dragon claws on the outside, and the carriage behind the dragon head looks like a dragon body.

The whole locomotive is completely decorated according to the appearance of the dragon, lifelike!

"Huh? What is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"Isn't it? I haven't heard of it at all. It's all made of refined iron. It's too wasteful."

"I heard that these things were brought back from Xiangyang by the army yesterday. Could it be that someone from Xiangyang specially enshrined them as gifts for His Majesty?"

"Don't say it, it's really possible! They joined relatively late, so some measures must be taken to win His Majesty's favor!"

"But if you want to offer a dragon, you don't need to use this form, right? To be honest, this thing is a bit ugly, and I'm afraid it won't be able to catch His Majesty's eyes at all, and it will only be counterproductive!"

"The emperor is here!"

While everyone was discussing, a leisurely report came from outside.

All the courtiers immediately bowed and saluted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Night Breeze waved his hand: "Get flat!"

When they got up, everyone saw a boy next to Night Breeze. He shouldn't be very old, at best he looked about twelve or thirty, but he gave off a mature and prudent feeling.

"Xiao Zhang, show it to the ministers first!" Night Breeze ordered.

"Yeah!" Xiao Zhang nodded, "Brothers, light the fire."

The Mohist disciples who had been waiting here for a long time rushed to the locomotive and filled the furnace with fuel.

Not for a while.

Naruto!

A loud chirp sounded.

The dragon claws screamed and began to rotate, driving the entire dragon body to move forward.

All the ministers were astonished on the spot, and their eyes were full of horror: "This... this dragon can move, it's amazing, it's really amazing!"

"Look, it's still getting faster!"

"What is this thing? It's so powerful."

"I've never seen anything like it!"

Xiao Zhang waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Okay, stop!"

Another loud cry sounded. The Longshen locomotive gradually stopped. All the ministers immediately surrounded it, looking at this strange thing one after another.

Night Breeze greeted: "Xiao Zhang, explain to everyone."

Xiao Zhang nodded, stepped onto the locomotive, and gave a speech: "My lords, generals, this thing is called a steam locomotive. It turns water into steam to propel the vehicle to move!"

As long as our track is built there, we can get there with sufficient fuel. It is very convenient. It can not only transport goods and facilitate businessmen, but also carry people and troops to reach the battlefield as quickly as possible.

Now my Ye Tianwang empire has a vast territory, and the fastest means of transportation is a war horse, but he can only carry one person after all. The steam locomotive is faster than a war horse, and it can carry a huge amount of people. It is the only magic weapon to defend the territory and support at any time !"

"It makes sense! Now that the empire has a vast territory, how many soldiers can be transported by horses alone? This is a waste of time."

"That's right! Besides, how many war horses can we have? If one hundred thousand war horses are invested in a battle, just food and grass alone will be an unimaginable number."

"Yes! With this dragon-like locomotive, we can transport soldiers in large quantities to the front line, save a lot of food and grass in the middle, and save a lot of time!"

"The little brother also said just now that during wartime, it can transport soldiers and strategic materials to the front line, and during non-wartime, it can also transport people and goods."

"Now that the empire's business is so prosperous, if we have such artifacts to help out, we can increase our income, which in turn will promote the prosperity of business!"

This group of ministers is indeed a think tank. They only need to show it a little, and they can think of the future use of the steam locomotive, and even the income. It is obvious that these people are not the ones who suffer.

But Night Breeze had already thought of these things, and there was nothing new about them.

However, some great master just said something about a dragon-like locomotive, which suddenly inspired Night Breeze.

A steam locomotive called bullshit is simply too much.

In this era, the steam locomotive is a product of my oriental dynasty. If you want to call it, you must call it a name rich in oriental elements.

A brainstorm!

A name popped up in Night Breeze's mind

Shenlong locomotive!

Dragon head, dragon tail, dragon claws, dragon body!

This train is simply made according to my Chinese totem dragon!

"Xiao Zhang, this steam locomotive hasn't been named yet, has it?" Night Breeze waved his hand and said deliberately.

"Isn't the steam locomotive its name?"

Zhang Pu blinked and said in a daze.

"Fool, that's just the principle of its movement, where is the name." Night Breeze sneered and said calmly.

"Oh, if that's the case, it doesn't have a name yet." Zhang Pu nodded.

"Why don't I give it a name! Let's call it Shenlong locomotive!" All civil and military officials immediately echoed.
