Human imagination is the most amazing!

Inspired by Zhang Mingwei, after all the places where motivation is needed can be replaced with this kind of thing, this possibility immediately shocked these people.

They couldn't imagine what would happen if the boat could walk by itself without wind or manpower? And the car would be the same. Just sit in the car and burn the fire, and the car could move forward...

However, the least shocking thing was Zhu Mei. Everyone else was still fantasizing, and she came to her senses and immediately said excitedly to Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, that's called a train. It's so long and can be used to pull many carriages at once. If there is one now, the food from the south will not need to be consumed on the road, right?"

The first major event she encountered since she left the palace was the refugee problem outside the city. The key to solving the refugee problem was food. Therefore, the first thing she thought of was this food problem.

Zhang Mingwei nodded and said, "If this train is available, it will greatly improve the transportation of the Ming Dynasty. Goods from east, west, south and north will accelerate the flow of goods, complement each other. Not only can the food problems be improved, but they can also promote consumption and production in various places, greatly improving people's lives..."

"What is consumption and production?" Zhu Mai didn't understand and hurriedly asked for advice.

After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei explained to her again.

While the two of them were talking, the others could only listen.

At this time, what Zhang Mingwei said was like opening a window for people in the dark. They found that this was actually possible outside!

When Zhu Mei was excited about chatting, she asked Zhang Mingwei again: "Sir, can that plane fly in the sky be built?"

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he couldn't help but feel funny. You really dare to think about it!

So he shook his head and said, "It is impossible to fly to the sky with this steam engine as power, because the power conversion efficiency is too low and it is too heavy."

When I saw Zhu Mai, I felt a little disappointed. After all, for anyone, I would definitely be very eager to do something like flying.

Therefore, Zhang Mingwei continued: "But the principle is actually similar. It is improved on the basis of this steam engine to make its energy conversion more efficient. When this power can generate enough buoyancy to allow the aircraft to float in the air, it can be realized!"

When Zhu Meiyu heard this, she became happy again and hurriedly continued to ask.

So, in this lobby, only Zhang Mingwei and Zhu Mai were talking. The others all listened with their ears, but most of them were confused. Even Fang Yizhi and Huang Zongxi, they did not understand many words in the words of Zhang Mingwei and Zhu Mai.

But the more this happens, the more Zhang Mingwei appears to be knowledgeable. Even Zhu Moe was very knowledgeable in their eyes. Because if it were them, it would be impossible to talk to Zhang Mingwei so much.

The princess participated in the discussion, which proves from another aspect that what Zhang Mingwei said was definitely not a fool. Otherwise, the princess would not have said so much.

At this moment, Zhou Yuji was fine, and he never thought he knew much. But for Fang Yizhi and Huang Zongxi, especially Fang Yizhi, it was a very big blow.

Being romantic, intelligent, knowledgeable and talented is Fang Yizhi's label before the fall of the Ming Dynasty. However, these labels encountered the most serious crisis after meeting Zhang Mingwei, which made Fang Yizhi feel embarrassed to think so.

Compared to ordinary people who are hit like this, they may refuse to admit it and leave. Fang Yizhi is indeed different. They are easy to learn about unknown fields and knowledge they have not learned, and they wish they could understand it at once. This is true, so he will know more than others.

After listening and imagining, he couldn't deny it. Not to mention anything else, if this steam engine could really be built, it would indeed change the Ming Dynasty and the world!

If studying things and learning knowledge is a great subject, Fang Yizhi at this time believes that there is no other investigation of things that can be more powerful than this investigation of things.

The light fluctuation he had studied before said that in his opinion, there was no use to benefit the country and the people at all. However, this steam engine was different.

Thinking of this, after the conversation between Zhang Mingwei and Zhu Mai came to an end, Fang Yizhi stood up, tidied up his clothes, bowed to Zhang Mingwei very respectfully, and said sincerely: "Mr. He is so talented, and he has never heard of it. Students are not talented and think they still have some ability. I beg him to accept the students, do his best to build this steam engine, seek welfare for the people, and do something truly meaningful!"

At this time, he really thought that, compared with the steam engine, other things were simply insignificant. He was thinking about what Shuli said before, and was embarrassed to take them out again.

The ancients’ apprenticeship was not easy to get a disciple. Especially for people like Yizhi, if they had not truly impressed him, it would be absolutely impossible to get a disciple.

When Zhang Mingwei heard what he said, he was still happy, so he looked at him seriously and asked, "Do you really have a heart to seek knowledge, seek blessings for the people, and be wholeheartedly for the country and the people?"

People’s pursuit is nothing more than money, power, reputation, etc. Compared with merchants chasing money and officials chasing power, scholars are just famous. Of course, this is just relative.

Fang Yizhi was born into a family of officials and was not short of money and had power. He had just entered the officialdom for two years, but he had not yet fallen into party struggles, and was still studying. He even began to write his "Small Knowledge of Physics". For him, at least his current pursuit is different from that of ordinary people.

At this time, when he heard Zhang Mingwei's question, he replied very seriously: "This is the heartfelt words of the student. Please forgive me!"

Huang Zongxi beside him was very envious and he wanted to become a disciple, but he had not yet obtained approval from Liu Zongzhou, so he could only look at it with envious eyes.

After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei still said seriously: "Don't underestimate this steam engine. If you want to make and improve it to a real practical level, it will take several years or even decades. And there is a lot of knowledge to learn. Can you really put aside everything and focus on this?"

I studied for the purpose of becoming an official, and I have finally read it now. Although I am leisurely at present, I have a bright future and there is a great possibility that I will join the cabinet in the future. It is absolutely impossible to say that Fang Yizhi doesn't care about this.

However, he had a crush on miscellaneous learning since he was a child. Otherwise, he would not have passed the Jinshi. After entering the officialdom, he still had the intention to think about miscellaneous learning and even started writing books.
