Chapter 275: Test Successful

"Click..."
"Hmm...! Crisp and delicious, with a hint of fragrance, not bad!"
After taking a bite, Fusu nodded, not too impressed.
"I still think canned lychee is the most delicious fruit!"
After taking a bite, Fusu raised his head and said,
"Haha! Brother, you ate the watermelon rind, it's a wonder if it tastes good!"
The little boy couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Shell? Is this green the shell?"
Susupu held a watermelon in his hand and looked at it in confusion.
Otherwise?"
The little boy took a bite of the bright red watermelon flesh, and the refreshing and sweet taste instantly swept over his whole body, revealing a contented expression.
"So that's how it is!"
Learning from him, Fusui took a big bite out of the one in his hand, immediately squinting his eyes, "Mmm, it's delicious, even better than canned lychee!"
In the hot summer, eating canned lychee can be too sweet and greasy.
Watermelon is different and very refreshing!
"Did I say it wrong? Watermelon has plenty of moisture and is definitely not inferior to lychee!"
The little boy ate a piece of watermelon quickly and soon held a row of black seeds in his hand.
In just a moment, a large watermelon has been completely eaten by two people, leaving only a bag of watermelon seeds taken away!
……
"Young Master, the Assistant Left Minister of the Construction Bureau, Huang Yuan, just came and said that the steam engine has been successfully manufactured!"
After Fusun left, the little boy fell into a light sleep. Just as he opened his eyes, Jingfu began to report.
"Oh? Where is he?"
The little boy rubbed his sleepy eyes and inquired.
"I heard that you were sleeping, so I went back first, and said that I would keep an eye on things and make sure nothing goes wrong!"
"Okay, got it!"
Little Zhengtai nodded, changed his clothes, and took a carriage to the steel mill.
With the increasing demand for steel, steel mills have expanded their operations and have now achieved a considerable scale.
Since steam engines require a large amount of steel, they decided to set up a research facility inside the steel mill.
When Xiao Zhengtai arrived at the steel mill, the building where the steam engine was being studied was already crowded.
Almost all the craftsmen in the steel mill came to watch.
Before Xiao Zhengtai came to the palace, in the Great Qin Dynasty, the production of iron was scarce, not to mention steel!
通常都是打造一些锄头、耕犁、兵器之类的，这还是第一次打造精密仪器！
听说马上就要点火实验，大家全都聚集在此！
The craftsmen made by the Khan are eagerly watching!
They have been working day and night for so long, I don't know if it can really operate?
"Young master is coming...!"
With a shout from Mingde, the craftsmen blocking the door immediately made way for the little boy.
"Young master, take a look, is it still acceptable?"
Huang Yuan reached out his hand and gestured politely.
No one has seen this thing called a steam engine before, and he was also just imitating without knowing for sure if it was right or not.
And before this, no one has tested it!
"Well! The appearance is quite similar!"
The little boy's face was delighted as he circled around the steam engine and nodded.
It's really not bad, Huang Yuan's craftsmanship. In just half a year, they have already researched the steam engine.
Actually, he hasn't seen a real steam engine, only a few pictures.
From the appearance, it should be similar, but it's not known if it can operate normally!
"Ignite it!"
Under the command of the little boy, the craftsmen ignited the pre-prepared coal and began testing.
Everyone present anxiously waited for the water to boil, holding their breath in anticipation.
Before long, the water in the boiler heated up and began to bubble.
Gradually, a small flywheel on the steam engine started to rotate, which indicated that the steam in the boiler had started to work.
Slowly, the flywheel started spinning faster and faster, and the crowd cheered, "Great, it worked, we did it!"
“yes！”
Even the little boy jumped up with excitement.
The steam engine was the core of the first industrial revolution; it could replace human power and convert the energy of steam into mechanical work in a reciprocating motion.
With the invention of the steam engine, we can now proceed to study and develop steam trains, steam warships, and steam looms one by one!
"From now on, mass produce the steam engine as much as possible! Make as many as you can!"
"No problem, but we don't have enough craftsmen at the moment. If we want to produce a large quantity, we may need to hire more!"
"You handle this, if you need money, go find Yu Wenxuan!"
"Yes!"
Huang Yuangong saluted with folded hands.
"How did your research on the warship blueprint I gave you go?"
"If the young master didn't ask, I was also about to report!"
"Oh?"
"Thanks to the young master, I earned over two thousand coins relying on this blueprint!"
Mentioning this, Huang Yuan had a smile on his face.
"Making money? You wouldn't sell my blueprints, would you?"
The little boy's heart skipped a beat.
Warships are powerful tools for sailing on the high seas, capable of withstanding strong winds and waves.
Once he researches warships, he will definitely encourage his rotten father to send troops to conquer those overseas islands.
If they end up in the hands of other races and used against our Great Qin, wouldn't it be like lifting a stone and smashing our own foot?
"No, no, no, this is impossible..."
Huang Yuan waved his hand repeatedly, smiling as he explained, "The young master's drawings are very clear. The entire ship is made of steel. When I gathered the ship building artisans, they didn't believe that a steel ship could float on the water. So we made a bet. We would first construct a simple small boat according to the methods in the drawings, and see if it would sink!"
"If it sinks, then I will lose to them, but if it floats, then they will lose to me!"
"As a result, when the steel-made boat was put into the water, it actually floated and was very stable, unlike wooden boats that would sway!"
"I won more than two thousand wen using this method, haha!"
Huang Yuanyue became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally burst into laughter.
"Hoo..."
Hearing this, the little boy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now really scared him.
I thought this guy sold the drawings he had worked so hard on, just for a little money!
But thinking about it calmly, it's impossible. If he really sold them, he wouldn't be standing here now. He must have taken the money and run!
"Next time, can you not take a big breath? You scared me to death!"
The little boy patted his chest and gave him a white eye.
"Alright!"
Huang Yuan grinned and nodded.
"On that note, when you got hold of the blueprints, weren't you also questioning whether a ship made of steel can float? Why were you able to win the bet then?"
小正太突然想到出征之前，他将图纸交到黄远手中的场景。
当时这家伙也是满脸质疑，根本不相信铁船能漂浮在水面！
