Chapter 497 (2/2)

However, the development speed of society was slow at that time, and handicraft industry was able to meet the demand of all things under the background of that era. Therefore, the steam power was not taken seriously. It was only used as the gate to open huge and heavy temples in ancient Greece and ancient Egypt.

Then, with the rapid increase of market demand, handicraft industry was unable to meet the huge market demand. Steam power was picked up by the original British people and began to use it. Finally, the first industrial revolution broke out.

The emergence of any new thing is bound to be caused by a social surge in production pressure. The outbreak of the industrial revolution is due to the British proud of the handicraft textile industry. With the increase of market demand, in the case of unable to meet the market demand, steam power finally stepped on the stage of human development and promoted the pace of human history.

Spinning machine and coal mine are the two major elements that give birth to steam engine. With more and more demand, the steam engine naturally arises in the pace of social change under the circumstances that manpower can not be done.

Today's Taiyi City, if it is isolated from the rest of the Tang Dynasty, as an independent individual, then the emergence of this steam spinning ball is not surprising.

After all, the demand of the Tang Dynasty and the production pressure of Taiyi City forced the students of chongwenguan who had been transformed by Li Hong to use their imagination to create more new things with the support of Taiyi City, which is the failure of chongwenguan and the failure of Li Hong's reform Yes.

Xiao Xue looks at Li Hong and stares at her. She shrinks her neck in a hurry, turns around and runs away. Fortunately, Bai Chun brings the students of Chongwen hall. Now she is placed in the front of the hall, which is afraid that the prince should find them, so she brings them back in case of emergency.

”Is this something powerful?” Bai Chun's reaction to Li Hong is not enough to describe with surprise.

Because at the beginning, they only understood how to use this thing after the demonstration by the students in Chongwen Museum. But now, the prince's Highness has started to work on it without any teacher.

Although the steps are different from those of chongwenguan students' demonstration, there is no mistake in a wide range.

As the small charcoal in the furnace below was ignited, Li Hong poured water into the big belly copper stove, which was connected with two copper pipes. Then someone threw everything down and sat on the sofa waiting to see the trick.

”You Why do you know this thing is used in this way? ” Bai Chun's tone has changed. She can guarantee that Her Highness has never seen it, let alone seen others demonstrate it. But how could he?

”Would I be surprised?” Li Hong is lazy to pay attention to her, white her one eye, sit on sofa light way.

The white pure also has no language to turn over the white eye, is not willing to say pulls down, I also not rare.

However, she would dare to say that in her heart, if she said it, she would know the consequences. She was afraid that she would have to be tossed about. The next day, she would have been in low back and legs, as if she had been torn apart.

But in any case, Bai Chun is still curious. As a woman, gossip is absolutely natural. So she sat down next to Li Hong, and her bright eyes couldn't see a trace of fatigue. She pointed to the spinning ball and asked, ”in your opinion, this thing is very powerful?”

Li Hong raised his hand and held Bai Chun in his arms. It was enough to make a trip from Taiyi city. Bai Chun was able to do this, so he was nervous to send it over at the first time, instead of waiting for the next day to return. His behavior of rushing all night was still very moving to his heart.

”It's natural that it's powerful, but when can we give full play to its value? Ten years? Twenty years? Thirty years? Anyway, this little thing in front of me is really very important to the future of Tang Dynasty. ”

”Not now?”

”Now? Early? ” Li Hong looked at the hollow copper ball on the top of the steam spinning ball and began to shake back and forth.

The steam spinning ball was developed in 1070 ad, but it was really used at the end of the 17th century. Now, the steam spinning ball was invented in the Tang Dynasty. If you want to really go to the steam age, you can't do it in more than ten or twenty years.

What's more, he doesn't know it very well. He can rely on the financial and material resources given to the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty and some inspiration that may even make them confused. As for whether he can succeed or not, he doesn't have a general concept of time.

However, this backward invention brought a glimmer of hope to him and Datang.

Therefore, what he needed to do during this period was to give his limited knowledge to the students of Chongwen school. As for the way back, it was up to them to see whether there was such a fate in the Tang Dynasty.
