Chapter 291: Driving thunder and lightning!
"Whatever, I just said I won't let you down." Lu Cang said to Zhang Zhicheng happily, the joy between his brows could not be concealed at all.
He actually didn’t know about the ‘Iron Horse’, but he believed in Xia Zhibai.
Since Xia Zhibai has the confidence to hold such a 'show', he will never just show a 'steam machine salt'. There must be other good things. This is indeed the case. The appearance of this iron horse, The entire market entrance was instantly quiet.
Everyone was shocked by Zhou Ning's words.
I was also shocked by this huge machine.
Zhang Zhicheng is no exception.
His lips were slightly open, and his eyes were dull and shocked.
In fact, he has studied steam engines for a long time. He thinks he has a certain understanding of steam engines. He has even seen descriptions of 'iron horses' before, but he really believes that the world can already create 'iron horses'. It still surprised him.
This is too big a leap.
It was so big that he couldn't react.
“You guys really made an iron horse!” Zhang Zhicheng murmured.
Lv Cang said: "It's all been put in front of you, how can it be false?"
"I tell you privately, in fact, Governor Zhou and the others are not only studying the iron horse, they are also seriously studying it. An iron ship is much bigger than an iron horse. You know how heavy it is, but with a steam engine, guess what? You can make it float on the water, isn’t it?”
"This is actually not the most powerful."
"I once secretly overheard Brother Xia mentioning something to Governor Zhou and the others. Just see lightning. Brother Xia even wanted Governor Zhou and the others to study the lightning in the sky and make it useful for people. This idea is crazy."
“Who dared to make lightning ideas in the past?”
“But Brother Xia dared!”
“Not only did he dare, but he also dared to actually do it. Brother Xia’s previous paragraph I have been compiling books in the Hanlin Academy, collecting things about lightning from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and trying to summarize the laws of lightning. Brother Xia also said that if humans can really master the power of lightning, the world will undergo earth-shaking changes. "
“This change is far greater and more powerful than the steam engine!”
"It just doesn't seem to be settled yet."
Lv Cang scratched his head in embarrassment, not daring to speak too fully.
After all, conquering lightning is too surprising. If it arouses the dissatisfaction of God, it will cause serious trouble if it is not kept intact.
Hearing Lu Cang's words, Zhang Zhicheng, who was already shocked and speechless, was completely choked up.
He raised his head and looked at the uniform sky, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
Control lightning?
Is this really possible?
Are you really not going to provoke divine punishment?
And he really couldn’t imagine what the use of lightning was.
Just for sparks and lightning? Lu Cang's words had a huge impact on his soul, and he was completely stunned. This was a realization he had never had before, and he would not even think about these aspects at all.
The emergence of the steam engine was like opening the door to a new century, shocking him.
And the exploration of electricity left him speechless.
It seems that everything I have learned in the past has eclipsed and lost its original luster. At this moment, the past "Four Books and Five Classics" are completely occupied by this novel idea. Before the steam engine came out, Who knew that such an iron lump could have such a big impact on the world?
This is still visible to people.
And electricity cannot.
Does that mean that humans can also control the power of gods and ghosts?
Again.
What exactly is electricity?
Zhang Zhicheng stared blankly at the sky, the curiosity and thirst for knowledge in his eyes getting stronger and stronger.
He felt like he had found the meaning of life.
It is far more useful than reading books by sages.
"Why not?" Zhang Zhicheng suddenly said something incomprehensible.
Lu Cang scratched his head and looked at Zhang Zhicheng suspiciously, with a bit of confusion, wondering what happened to Zhang Zhicheng?
He muttered: "Are you scared out of your wits?"
"Isn't that serious?"
"Isn't the steam engine already known to everyone in the world?"
"That lightning hasn't even been cast yet, so he can't be so fragile, right?" Lu Cang coughed lightly and said quickly: "That, I do too Just say it casually, don’t take it seriously, you don’t need to take it too seriously. Anyway, the situation is very clear now. The world will be an era of steam engines for a long time to come.”
“ Steam will be used in more and more ways."
"It will also improve the lives of people all over the world."
Zhang Zhicheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, if the steam engine can keep improving like this, it won't take long before many existing things in the world will be broken, and the world will be completely new because of the steam engine."
"That will be a new world!"
"A new world that is different from the past, different from ancient and modern times!"
Zhang Zhicheng's eyes were shining, and his fists were slightly clenched. Determination seemed to be written on her young cheeks.
Lv Cang's eyes rolled around and he could only give a faint hum.
He didn't dare to stimulate it at this time.
In the crowd.
Fang Erniu, who was of medium height, looked at Deng Muzi and said, "Can you see the difference now? Stop struggling fearlessly. You think what you do is fatal, but you don't know that in the eyes of the government and the court, , It’s totally irrelevant.”
“You and I have always been worth mentioning in the eyes of the government.”
“Even.”
"It's not as good as the salt we make."
"You have seen the steam engine now, and the government's attitude has been made clear."
"It will not change."
“Your stubbornness is meaningless.”
“Continuing to be stubborn is just deceiving yourself and others.”
"Now while the government still has the heart and patience to calm things down, you should explain to the government as soon as possible, otherwise the government will completely lose their patience and send out a large team of people. Even if they don't send a large team of people, as long as they say a few words to the local government, your family will be happy." "Little, I'm afraid there's no way to survive."
Deng Muzi was silent.
He lowered his head, with a hint of pain in his eyes, and said: "How could I not know? But will the government really let us go? The leaders in front are all dead, and not only one person died, but the whole family "
Fang Erniu said: "This time is different from before."
"This is what the imperial envoy said."
"Even if the local government is dissatisfied, do they dare to take action in front of the imperial envoy?"
"And if you ask me to say, if it is really impossible, just tell the imperial envoy during the discussion that you want to leave Yuhang. As long as you leave Yuhang, then No one knows you anymore, so no one will bother you anymore.”
“People, you have to retreat sometimes.”
“I don’t expect it now. If you want to make a living in salt production, where can you make a living?”
“Why do you have to stay in Yuhang?”
"Isn't this just looking for trouble for yourself?"
Deng Muzi was stunned. He thought about it carefully and nodded: "Uncle Fang, you are right, I listen to you."
"Oh, just listen. I will be with you then. There are so many of us, and the government must take care of it no matter what. After all, everything has been said. If there is another civil commotion, the imperial envoy will be embarrassed. It looks good." Fang Erniu said.
Deng Muzi nodded.
Fang Erniu looked around and said: "It's almost done today. It's time to go home. In the past few days, you should be more careful not to be stared at. There are some people. , it just doesn’t look good, so you have to be careful.”
"I heard that those people before were betrayed!"
Deng Muzi's heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "I know, I have been paying attention."
“Let’s go.” Fang Erniu slowly pushed his way out of the crowd.
The two squeezed out of the crowd and slowly disappeared into the crowd.
Not long after the two left, the crowded crowd gradually dispersed, and the lively scene slowly disappeared.
