Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun and others are all tiger generals.
But even Xu Chu, known as the tiger idiot general, couldn't push a few pairs of irons so quickly.
What kind of force can push these connecting rods?
Seeing this, Cao Cao quickly asked, "Zixiu, what's going on, why does it move by itself?"
Cao Ang calmly explained: "This is a very simple principle of boiling water. As long as you pay attention, you will know that after the water is boiled, it will lift the lid on it. The two principles are the same."
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words!
Don't they understand this truth?
It's just that they didn't notice.
But the general was able to pay attention to this matter, which is really witty.
Afterwards, Cao Ang said again: "You must want to ask, what can this thing do, what I want to say is that it is basically omnipotent!"
"As long as strength is needed, as long as manpower is needed, most of it can be used in place!"
"For example, if this thing is placed on a boat, the speed of the boat will be increased several times, and the speed can be increased a lot!"
...
Chapter 222 Lack of entertainment
Cao Cao and others are all knowledgeable people, and now that they have seen it with their own eyes, and Cao Ang's words are all about this, how could they not think of the value of the steam engine?
The power generated by the steam engine is hundreds of thousands of catties. This power is endless and endless, as long as there is water and fire to support it!
Xun Yu murmured: "This is really a god, the common people are blessed!"
Guo Jia excitedly said: "Yeah, not only the common people, with such a fetish, no matter what kind of problems can be solved, sooner or later, this power will replace animal power and completely change the lives of the common people. "
Cao Cao couldn't bear it anymore at this time, he was also very excited and joyful when he saw such a good thing.
Cao Pi then clenched his fists even more excitedly and said, "Brother really didn't deceive everyone!"
Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Lu Lingqi, Zhuge Liang and others were also full of awe.
And those students of the Gewu School who were invited to watch the experiment felt even more excited than ever before.
I also understand what invention and innovation are.
Use technology to change fate, use technology to benefit mankind, and use technology to create tools to help the people!
Ma Jun, Sima Hui and others all admire Cao Ang's wisdom!
The scene that happened today has affected many people present, not only that, but also has a profound impact on the entire Central Plains nation.
Cao Cao then laughed wildly, and said, "My son descended to earth as a god-man, using potatoes to solve the world's famine, and using steam engines to solve the labor of the people. Such achievements, even the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, dare not compare with them!"
The steam engine is a product of the industrial revolution, a great thing that can liberate human and animal power.
However, the current one is just a theory, and it will take time to really apply it in every field.
It would be too unrealistic to say that after one or two years, we could see trains running all over the place.
Moreover, in Cao Ang's view, change is okay, but too fast a change is not good.
Afterwards, Cao Ang discussed with Zhuge Liang, and decided to use the steam engine first for logging in the mining area, as well as for breaking momentum.
For these problems, it is just right to use a steam engine, and it is not too difficult, so you can just try it.
Then apply this technique to other things.
Cao Ang hoped to build a ship-powered steam engine for small and medium-sized warships.
If this steam-powered ship is successfully produced, Cao Jun's warship will easily kill any ship in this era, and the Jingzhou Navy and Soochow Navy are not worth mentioning.
Of course, this is not an easy task.
However, Cao Ang has many talents under his command.
There are Crouching Dragon Zhuge Liang, God of Worker Huang Yueying, and the great inventor and mechanical genius Xiao Ma Jun, plus a lot of skilled craftsmen to assist.
Coupled with the support of Cao Cao's powerful background energy, it is only a matter of time before this matter succeeds.
The demonstration this time can be said to be very successful. It can't help but confirm that this method is feasible, and it even influenced everyone's thinking. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
The concept of "science and technology can change destiny" has been deeply engraved in everyone's minds through this steam engine experiment.
In addition, the Central Plains Gewubao and the new patent law have been implemented for a wave, which has convinced many people.
For the next two weeks or so, there was nothing to worry about, so Cao Ang spent most of his time at home spending leisure time with his wives.
Writing poems, playing the piano, painting, rehearsing dramas, expressing love for mountains and rivers, romance, tasting food, playing cards and rubbing hemp all constitute the whole life.
Boss Cao is in charge of the general situation of the world, government affairs, agricultural and civil affairs, and Cao Ang doesn't have to worry about it.
Cao Ang handed over all the affairs in his hands to his subordinates.
From Guan Yu Zhao Yun, to Sima Wei, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Huang Yueying, and Jia Xu and others.
Each of them is busy with their own tasks, exerting their energy in the fields of education, production, science and technology, and working hard to move forward.
Even Cao Ang entrusted Diao Chan with full authority over those businesses.
Now there are Diaochan inside, and Sima Hui and Mrs. Zou outside, so Cao Ang doesn't have to do anything.
Every major industry and major business is making money and pouring money every day. The highest state of being a leader is to fully decentralize power, entrust important matters to those who rely on promises, and let them run around, get busy, and worry about it. Finally, the sweet fruit is presented.
Now that the end of the new year is approaching, Xudu is now rich and prosperous, with prosperous commerce, and the people's hearts are high, and there is no trace of troubled times.
People began to greet New Year's Eve one after another, although there were no fireworks in the Han Dynasty.
But the common people have their own ways of celebrating, such as cutting peach wood to make a patron saint, and then standing the patron saint in front of their house, which was a very popular custom in the Qin and Han Dynasties.
According to the "Book of Emperors": In ancient times, there was a pair of fairy brothers named Shencha and Yulei who lived under Dusu Mountain. They would tie up the evil spirits that harmed the world and let tigers eat them. Yu Lei stands on the door "to ward off evil", and this is also the embryonic form of the door gods of later generations.
However, today seems to be a little different.
Cao Ang took several wives to the Xudu Palace to participate in the celebration. Several people found that in front of the common people's gate, the patron saints were not only two ancient gods, but also a general.
And in the current environment, there is only one person in that general!
Seeing this, Cai Yan was shocked: "The common people actually compare Cao Ang to that fairy?"
