"I heard that you have something that looks like a human and is wrapped in iron. Where is it? Let me take a look. "Tong Zhengye stayed behind and whispered to Ren Baqian. He wasn't interested in the steam engine, but he was very interested in the robot from the academy. He had heard Tong Lan talk about it many times.
"That's Teacher Gao Da from the academy," Ren Baqian said with a black face. Ren Baqian said with a black face. In any case, the steam engine created by his own student was of great significance to him. However, the others didn't think much of it. This made him feel a little embarrassed. At this moment, he especially disliked the two old fellows, Tong Zhenye and Qin Chuan.
"Where is it? Even if it's a teacher, I still want to take a look. "Tong Zhengye laughed.
"He's been in seclusion recently and won't be receiving guests." Ren Baqian decisively refused.
"Just to take a look. You have quite a lot of good stuff, except for that toy." Tong Zhengye recalled what Tong Lan said before and felt like a cat was scratching his heart. However, Ren Baqian's face darkened even more after hearing that last sentence.
"I already said that I won't be receiving guests. You want to see him? Wait for next time. "Ren Baqian chased Tong Zhengye out.
He turned around and went back to one of the rooms, only to see Li Fu touching the Gao Da like a pervert who had seen a beauty.
These days, Li Fu would come and touch it every day, which made Ren Baqian feel disgusted.
When he returned to the backyard, many students were cooling and inspecting the steam engine.
"Stop what you're doing!" Ren Baqian stood nearby and said. Everyone immediately put down what they were doing and listened to him.
"Did you hear what was said just now?" Ren Baqian asked.
"Her Majesty said that the future of Dayao depends on us." Du Laoliu couldn't stop laughing.
"Do you really believe in polite words?" Ren Baqian snorted with a straight face. Don't you have any shame?
"Her Majesty never says polite words!" Du Laoliu rolled his eyes.
"What can these things you make be used for? To fetch water? "Ren Baqian sneered. "Didn't you hear what the other officials said?"
The faces of all the students, including Tong Lan, darkened when they heard this. The steam engine, which they had painstakingly learned for a long time and spent more than a month to make, was belittled as a toy. No one could accept it.
"Unwilling? You want to be praised and admired? You want to show them how powerful you are? Do you really want them to think that what you're doing is amazing? Do you want to achieve this? "Ren Baqian looked at everyone.
"Yes!" Someone said in a scattered voice.
"Me too. After all, you are my students. What you have learned is what I have imparted to you. If you are being looked down upon, it means that I am being looked down upon as well, "Ren Baqian said unhurriedly.
"The knowledge of the steam engine is just the beginning. It represents a new power source. The next step is to transform the steam engine into something else, such as the train that I mentioned before! A train can pull hundreds of thousands of tons of goods. Furthermore, its speed was at least three times that of a horse carriage. As long as you can make something like this, no one will dare to look down on you. "
After Ren Baqian finished speaking, everyone started to use their fingers to calculate how many tons were. Thanks to Ren Baqian's mathematics class, these students could finally understand addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. However, they were shocked when they were done with the calculations.
One ton of goods was two thousand jin, so one thousand tons of goods was two million jin.
The load of a horse carriage was usually 3,000 to 5,000 jin. In other words, the train that Ren Baqian mentioned could at least carry hundreds of horse carriages. More importantly, hundreds of horse carriages would consume a lot of rations. This was because the grass in some places wasn't suitable for livestock to eat and would cause stomach problems.
Ordinary weeds could only prevent livestock from starving to death, but they lacked strength.
Otherwise, the fork-horned cows wouldn't have the strength to carry goods for long distances.
For example, babeasts. The aboriginals would often break babeasts into pieces and mix them with fine grass for the fork-horned cows to eat.
Therefore, when hundreds of horse carriages carried goods, there would be at least a dozen horse carriages carrying fodder and other things.
A train could save this trouble. Many students had a better understanding of the function of neatness through the production of the steam engine.
If they made a train, the ministers that came today would definitely change their opinions.
After all, these students were still children. After being instigated by Ren Baqian, they quickly became enemies. Even Tong Lan gritted her teeth and prepared to teach Tong Zhenye a lesson.
"Go back and think about how to improve this steam engine. I can give you some hints on connecting rods, changing the direction of the force, and flywheels, "Ren Baqian said.
"You can also go and ask Teacher Gao Da! It should know. "
After Ren Baqian finished speaking, he strolled away. The rest of the students ran to ask Gao Da about the train.
Half a day later, a cry of alarm came from the room, "Tong Lan, you broke Teacher Gao Da."
"I just wanted to take a look. Who knew that I would dismantle it? What's inside? Don't pull me. I can just install it later! "
"There's really no one inside. I've been wondering if there's a person or something else hiding inside!" Du Laoliu's exclamation could be heard.
"Are you stupid? This is obviously lifeless. However, it's really strange that it can speak without any life! "
"Ah, Shi Gan, you broke another piece!"
"Tong Lan was the one who broke it. Since it's already broken, I might as well study it."
"Yagui will kill all of you tomorrow."
"I'll install it later. He doesn't know who did it, so keep your mouths shut. If anyone leaks the news … I'll let you know what a punching bag's fist looks like!" Tong Lan waved her small fist in the room and said fiercely.
"We'll share blessings and misfortunes. Don't you know what kind of person Yagui is? If this matter is leaked, you won't be able to escape either! Everyone will be out of luck! "
Shi Gan was smarter than Tong Lan and immediately pulled everyone into the war chariot.
When Ren Baqian came the next day, his face darkened as soon as he entered the room. He saw that the outer shell of Gao Da had obviously been tampered with and then forcibly stuffed in. Ren Baqian touched it, and those pieces of outer shell fell off.
All the mechanical parts inside were exposed, and some of the wiring had been pulled off and randomly tied in knots.
Clang! Ren Baqian wanted to see what they did to Gao Da, but the moment he touched it, Gao Da's arm fell off and almost hit his foot.
"Teacher broke Teacher Gao Da!" A little lolita's cry of surprise came from outside the door.
Tong Lan stood at the door with her mouth slightly open and a shocked expression on her face. She was even pointing at Ren Baqian.
"What happened? What happened?" A group of people rushed to the door and stuck their heads out.
"Hmph, are you guys itching for a beating?" Ren Baqian put on a fake smile. This group of bastards even learned how to frame others?
"Speak, who did it?"
Whoosh!
A group of people stretched out their fingers and pointed at him in unison.
Ren Baqian's face darkened. "You guys won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Someone, hang them on the flagpole. I'm going to shoot them for 50 minutes today!"
