Chapter 1180: Training Apprentices

R&D center.

"By the way, when you officially start working in the R&D center, I will also send troops to garrison around the R&D center to ensure that the entire R&D center is not disturbed by outsiders, and the safety of the R&D center."

After thinking for a while, Bai Feng continued to say to Geng Zhuzi.

In the future, what will be researched and produced here are the most advanced things in the world.

The safety work of the R&D center must be implemented as soon as possible!

After hearing this, Geng Zhuzi raised the importance of the R&D center in his mind again.

No longer thinking about the past, Geng Zhuzi focused on the present and began to carefully observe the empty R&D center.

He was thinking about how to arrange the tools and craftsmen needed to make steam engines in the R&D center.

Bai Feng saw Geng Zhuzi looking at the R&D center while thinking about something, and knew that Geng Zhuzi was considering how to transform the R&D center.

He was more satisfied with Geng Zhuzi in his heart.

The random character drawing card given by the system task this time really helped Bai Feng a lot.

Bai Feng has begun to look forward to which random character card he can draw that has not been drawn yet.

After following Geng Zhuzi around the entire R&D center, Bai Feng began to wait for Geng Zhuzi's suggestions and ideas.

"Sir, to build a steam engine, I now need two blacksmith furnaces that can build and smelt steel."

"Then at least five skilled blacksmiths are needed."

"And there are ore, and helpers responsible for ore smelting."

After returning to the gate of the R&D center again, Geng Zhuzi told Bai Feng about the arrangements he had just made in his mind, as well as the manpower and material resources needed.

"Okay! There is no problem with these!"

Bai Feng agreed to Geng Zhuzi on the spot.

Geng Zhuzi thanked Bai Feng after hearing this:

"Thank you, sir!"

"Hahaha, you don't have to thank me for these things in the future."

"If you really want to say it, I should thank you!"

Bai Feng couldn't help but smile at Geng Zhuzi after hearing this.

Although he has the system, a super invincible cheat, now he only gives him drawings, not finished products.

If Bai Feng wants to turn the various mechanical and product drawings awarded by the system into real machinery and products, he needs talents like Geng Zhuzi.

But talents like Geng Zhuzi are hard to come by.

"In addition to the requirements you mentioned before, I will arrange ten more students for you!"

Bai Feng wanted Geng Zhuzi to help him train new mechanical talents, so he said to Geng Zhuzi.

"These students usually serve as personnel in the R&D center and participate in various research and development work normally. Everything is up to your arrangement!"

Geng Zhuzi was also satisfied when he saw Bai Feng's arrangement.

After all, it is still difficult to manufacture a steam engine, especially in this era when metallurgy and metal processing are not very developed.

Geng Zhuzi can have ten students to help him, which will make it easier for him to manufacture steam engines.

And in Bai Feng's view, manufacturing steam engines is just the beginning.

In the future, Bai Feng will also manufacture steam trains, steam ships, and various steam-powered transportation vehicles and production factories.

"Everything is up to you, sir!"

Geng Zhuzi smiled and agreed to the ten students arranged by Bai Feng.

Then the two left the R&D center together.

Bai Feng also had to go back to Hanzhong City to prepare a blacksmith furnace for Geng Zhuzi to build a steam engine, and then recruit blacksmiths and arrange students.

On the way back, Geng Zhuzi began to ask Bai Feng what the steam engine was going to be used for.

Bai Feng attached so much importance to the steam engine that he established a research and development center for the manufacture of steam engines.

He also gave him unconditional support in various ways.

So now Geng Zhuzi couldn't help but ask Bai Feng:

"Sir, what kind of wonderful uses does this steam engine have after it is manufactured?"

Bai Feng was stunned when he heard this.

It seemed that he really hadn't told Geng Zhuzi what the steam engine was used for.

It was also a good thing that Geng Zhuzi could wait until now to ask himself.

In fact, Geng Zhuzi had just arrived in Dawei and received too much information at once.

He himself just remembered to ask Bai Feng this question.

"Zhuzi, what do you think of the carriage we are riding in?"

Bai Feng did not directly answer Geng Zhuzi's question, but asked Geng Zhuzi first.

"Carriage?"

Geng Zhuzi was stunned when he heard this.

Then Geng Zhuzi replied to Bai Feng:

"Sir, this carriage is comfortable to ride, and you can hardly feel any bumps. The materials and decorations inside are also very exquisite."

"The horses pulling the carriage are tall and strong, and they are even better horses!"

Geng Zhuzi used to be a high-ranking official in the State of Chu, and he had made many carriages.

Seeing Bai Feng asking, Geng Zhuzi quickly said a few extraordinary things about Bai Feng's carriage.

"Hahaha, you are right."

"But you can imagine, if this carriage is not pulled by horses, but by steam engines, what would it be like?"

Bai Feng first smiled at Geng Zhuzi, and then guided Geng Zhuzi.

Geng Zhuzi understood the principle of steam engines, and now of course he could understand what Bai Feng meant.

"Sir, what do you mean, in the future, all the carriages in the world can use steam engines as horses?!"

Geng Zhuzi said in surprise, and then imagined that picture.

Then Geng Zhuzi shook his head at Bai Feng and continued:

"The idea of ​​using a steam engine to replace a horse-drawn carriage is brilliant, but it is very heavy and relies on water and charcoal fire. I'm afraid it's more laborious to use than a horse."

Bai Feng saw that Geng Zhuzi had learned to draw inferences from one example under his guidance, and was not angry at all because he denied his idea.

Instead, he was even happier.

"Hahaha, Zhuzi is right. This steam engine is indeed not very convenient to use to pull a horse-drawn carriage as you said."

"It will be used on larger frames and large ships in the future!"

Bai Feng said to Geng Zhuzi. As for cars and internal combustion engines, Bai Feng did not intend to explain them to Geng Zhuzi now. It was indeed difficult to understand without the actual objects and drawings.

When he obtained the manufacturing drawings of internal combustion engines and cars from the system in the future and had the ability to mine oil and refine gasoline from it, Geng Zhuzi would naturally start to manufacture internal combustion engines and cars.

"Larger frames and large ships?"

This time, Geng Zhuzi did not follow Bai Feng's train of thought and could not help asking out loud.

"That's right!"

"This steam engine will be installed on a large vehicle called a train!"

"A train is like connecting a dozen horse-drawn carriages together, and then running on a pre-laid steel track!"

"It can carry tens of thousands of tons of cargo, and it can run day and night, faster than a galloping horse!"
