Chapter 60 Steampunk
“Can the prince really turn around?”
Meng Chong and Li Fang stood behind Zhu Zaijing, looking at a steam fan driven by steam, They couldn't believe that the water vapor coming out of the boiler could drive such a long and large fan to rotate.
Zhu Zaijing said: "You will know if you take a look."
Zhu Zaijing then ordered the craftsman who was lighting the fire: "Hurry up and make the fire stronger."

Zhu Zaijing looked at this steam fan with shelves and chain gears, and he felt like he had entered the punk era.
Although it still looks very rough, as long as it can rotate, there will be plenty of time to make fine improvements in the future.
So what Zhu Zaijing has to wait for at this moment is the moment when the water boils. When the water boils and the steam begins to evaporate and provide a steady stream of power, all this will be considered a success.
Otherwise, today’s torment can only be regarded as a joke.
Just when Zhu Zaijing was thinking about the power of the steam age, Meng Chong suddenly screamed excitedly, "It's moving, Your Majesty, it's really moving!"
Meng Chong's scream immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all followed Meng Chong's gaze and saw the wooden fan connected to the syrup boiling place by gears and chains.
At this moment, driven by the power of steam, the gears and chains are rotating slightly, and at the same time, they are driving the wooden fan blades installed on the shelf.
It’s just that the speed of this rotation is a bit touching, as slow as an old buffalo walking slowly, and it can’t carry any wind at all.
But even this made the people present extremely excited. They never dreamed that this seemingly absurd method would actually move the fan blades.
Zhu Zaijing also looked over carefully. Zhu Zaijing looked at the slowly rotating fan and couldn't help but sigh, "This is too slow. How can such a slow fan blow the wind to drive away the heat?" ?”
Meng Chong said excitedly: "It's enough for the prince to be able to spin. This is a miracle!"
Zhu Zaijing ignored the excited Meng Chong. He walked to the steam fan again and looked at the gears and gears inside the steam fan. Regarding the chain speed, Zhu Zaijing said to the craftsmen on the side: "Is there any way to make these gears rotate faster? Also, can the position of the steam port be better so that the power of the steam can be more powerful?" Supply it.”
After hearing Zhu Zaijing’s words, the old craftsman also thought quickly.
Although the two requirements put forward by Zhu Zaijing are a bit difficult, it is not a particularly big problem for old craftsmen like them. As long as they delve into the problem of matching the size of the gears, it should be fine. Increase the fan speed.
The old craftsman said: "My lord, please be patient for a moment. If you think about it again, I will definitely find a way to solve the problem raised by your lord."
Zhu Zaijing hummed, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. Just stay here for today."
Then Zhu Zaijing said to Meng Chong: "Go and get a few pieces of the ice heart candy made in today's experiment. Come here, let these craftsmen have a taste, and go and get rid of the heat."
Meng Chong quickly took out a few small boxes of wrapped mints, and then handed them to these craftsmen. .
The craftsmen took the ice heart candy given by Zhu Zaijing and did not know what kind of treasure it was, but they were still very excited and bowed to Zhu Zaijing with profuse thanks, "Little people, thank you, Your Majesty." Reward."
Zhu Zaijing nodded: "Okay, go down. Don't mention anything about what happened in the palace today, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"
In the end, Zhu Zaijing did not forget to give a warning. After all, the power of steam is too great. Now that the test has come out, although it is not particularly successful, Zhu Zaijing still does not want the things here to be spread. After several old craftsmen heard Zhu Zaijing's words, they all shrank in fear and instantly realized the importance of this matter. They really couldn't talk nonsense.
The old craftsmen replied: "The villain must keep the secrets of the palace and will not say a word."
Zhu Zaijing hummed and faced Li Fang said: "Li Fang's matter will be supervised by you. If the matter about the steam fan in the palace is spread outside, I will ask you first."
Li Fang felt a shiver in her heart and immediately replied. : "I obey my orders."
Then Zhu Zaijing turned around and left. At the same time, Meng Chong also took away all the mints obtained from today's experiment.
The taste of these mint candies is pretty good. Although it is still a little different from the mint candies of later generations, it is definitely a king-level delicacy in this era.
So Zhu Zaijing did not intend to waste it. In addition to giving a few small boxes to the old craftsmen, Zhu Zaijing also planned to change the remaining ones into exquisite packaging and put them in Yiran Hall to test the water. As a free gift, some big consumers of Yirantang are given a taste to see their feedback.
If they like the taste of this mint, then Zhu Zaijing will continue to produce it based on this. If they feel that the taste is not very good, then they will continue to improve the formula until they like it.
After all, that’s how business is, it’s impossible to have a perfect product from the beginning.
If any product wants to be successful, it must be tested by the market before it can be said to be successful.
Otherwise, no matter how good the product is, it is just a self-impressed self-pleasure.
Zhu Zaijing said to Meng Chong: "Now this candy is named Bingxin Candy. You can also order some to earn a high-end and classy packaging, and then give it as a gift to those who are disposable Big buyers who have purchased more than five bottles of Yiran candy will taste it, and a comment form will be sent to them, asking them to write down their feelings about the Bingxin candy according to their own feelings. Don't be stingy with rewards. You can just give one as a gift. A bottle of Yiran candy. Don’t be indifferent even if you write perfunctorily. Give them a voucher worth two taels of silver.”
After hearing Zhu Zaijing’s instructions, Meng Chong quickly responded: “My slave. Remember."
Then Zhu Zaijing asked: "How is the progress of the first phase of the Shunyi Industrial Park?"
Meng Chong replied: "The daily newspaper sent here today said that the masonry foundation of the first phase of the workshop has been completed. Once the acceptance is passed, columns and wooden boards can be added and the roofing work can be carried out."
Zhu Zai Zhu Zaijing sighed, feeling that the progress was not bad, and then Zhu Zaijing asked: "Where is the living area?"
Meng Chong said: "The living area is still a bit slow. According to the prince's request, the living area is There needs to be a separate drainage system and a separate sanitary area, so the progress is a little slower."
Zhu Zaijing said: "This should be slower, after all, there will be many people living here in the industrial park. If we can’t provide the workers who work here with a good living environment and keep them clean and hygienic, how can our products always be safe and reliable? So you have to be careful at this moment to make sure nothing goes wrong.”
Meng Chong replied: "My lord, don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on you and will never let anyone mess around here."
After explaining this matter, Zhu Zaijing suddenly thought of his plan to renovate the bathhouse. Zhu Zaijing then ordered: "Find the person in charge of the Ministry of Works who drew the drawings for us tomorrow. I need him to draw another one. Customized drawings to completely transform the palace’s water system.”
