Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

Xianyang City, Imperial Palace

“Fusu, what do you think of the purpose of the Roman and Carthaginian envoys?”

Ying Zheng put down the credentials of the two countries sent by the Dian Ke Office and looked at Fusu Dao with a smile.

“It’s just to find out what’s true and see if I can get some benefits!”

Fusu said in a deep voice.

“Then should we refuse the visit of the envoys from these two countries? We cannot let them see the artifact of Da Qin.”

Dunruo frowned and said

“Why stop it? This railway and steam locomotive are not something they can understand just by looking at it.”

“Let them see the power of the train with their own eyes, and it may have better effects. Fusu said with a slight smile.

Qin people have a habit of hiding good things, which is the so-called wealth.

This is especially true for some technologies that are easy for foreigners to learn, such as Quyuanli, Naturally, sugar craftsmanship, etc. must be kept strictly confidential.

But for real cutting-edge technology, it is not something that can be understood at a few glances. What can be understood just by looking at the appearance has not even been published publicly in Daqin Daily. The steam engine was introduced in depth.

The reason why Fusu dared to do this was not only to let more people in Daqin understand the role of science and engineering, but also to understand the technical content. The principle of the steam engine is indeed very simple, it is nothing more than boiling water. It just uses the power of water vapor.

But just a sealing problem can trouble all countries except Daqin.

Without rubber and corresponding processing technology, it is impossible to achieve air tightness at high temperatures.

And air tightness has to be done If the steam leaks out, the steam engine with its low thermal efficiency will not be practical at all.

At most, it can only be used as a large kettle to listen to the sound.

After the air tightness of the steam engine is achieved, how to drive it will be Utilizing energy is not a simple matter.

Not only does it require sufficient research on mechanics and physics, but the requirements for materials are also extremely high. If the material is slightly inferior, it will not be able to withstand the impact of strong force and will be crushed directly. It turns into powder.

And it’s not just strength. Many components must have both strength and toughness, otherwise they cannot be used for a long time. In addition

, they must be able to withstand corrosion under high temperature and pressure, not be too heavy, etc.

In order to To manufacture Daqin’s first steam locomotive, Fusu had to bite the bullet and spend hundreds of thousands of reputation points to purchase a batch of equipment directly from the system mall, so that Daqin Engineering Institute’s research and development and manufacturing could keep up with the progress.

Yaoyao This is the case for the scientific researchers of the Daqin Academy of Engineering who are leading other countries. Outside Daqin, it is impossible for the Roman and Carthage envoys with no scientific concepts to see anything from the outside.

Let them witness it and bring back Rome and Carthage through their mouths. Carthage, on the other hand, will be extremely helpful to Great Qin’s next strategy.

When the Mediterranean countries suffered from locust plagues and purchased food from Great Qin, the”food supervisors” placed by Great Qin in various countries have gradually established a large presence in various countries. influence.

But after all, the time is short, and some conditions are needed to fully control the fishing boats.

And nothing can be more convincing in the two countries than the personal confirmation of the envoys of the two countries.

Let the people of the two countries recognize them. The gap between Great Qin and Great Qin will be of great help to Great Qin’s cultural colonization and future occupation.

Even if it is as developed as in later generations, there are all kinds of obstacles to guide the way, not to mention that because of the perennial wars, it is not even possible to describe the people as having a hard time. Rome and Carthage were too much to blame.

Moreover, the bonds issued by the two countries in imitation of the Qin Dynasty will soon reach the time to repay the principal.

By then, many unfavorable factors will erupt at the same time, and the two countries want to avoid chaos. It is difficult.

The more internal chaos there is, the greater the population loss of the two countries will definitely be.

And population is one of the core factors that will determine whether Great Qin can completely control the Mediterranean in the future.

“Although this strategy is a bit cruel, it is indeed the best way to control the Mediterranean!”

“What Daqin needs to do now is to stabilize its development and then wait for the opening of the Suez Canal.”

“Even the Suez Canal does not need to be opened in a hurry.”

After listening to Fusu’s introduction, Ying Zheng thought for a long time and said slowly. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Wang Bi and others also nodded repeatedly.

Military generals do not have so many concepts of the Holy Mother. , there have never been so many rules and regulations on the battlefield.

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

Although Nei Shiteng and other civil servants may not be as decisive as the generals, no one is stupid enough to speak out against it.

This kind of interceding for foreigners is definitely an act seeking death.

And if we want long-term peace and stability, the people of the Qin tribe must have an absolute advantage.

It is better for the two countries to reduce their population by themselves now than for Great Qin to do it in the future.

“By the way, how are the preparations for the Xianyang-Luoyang Railway going now?”

Ying Zheng glanced around the court, took in everyone’s reactions, nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke.

“In addition to the extremely laborious opening of the tunnel, many of the railways in other areas have used the original roadbed of Qinzhi Road, so the progress is quite good.”

“It is expected that in another month, the first section of the railway, which is about 60 miles from Xianyang City to Qinling Mountains, will be laid.”

“By then, Daqin’s first steam locomotive will be almost ready to be manufactured and put into trial operation. Fusu explained with a smile.

Even with gunpowder as an aid, it is still not easy to dig a tunnel that can pass trains in the Qinling Mountains.

However, the roadbed in flat areas, as well as the laying of rails and sleepers, It went quite smoothly.

Therefore, Fusu simply asked the Engineering Academy and the construction unit to lay the first short section of railway from Xianyang City to Qinling Mountains first, and focus on the manufacture of steam locomotives.

At that time, they can excavate the tunnel while using the already laid Good rails, testing and improving steam locomotives, and training train drivers.

After the tunnel is opened, it only needs to continue to extend the rails outwards.

“Then my father is waiting for good news from you, Fusu.”

Ying Zheng said with a look of expectation on his face.

Ying Zheng had been looking forward to the train for a long time.

He originally thought that such a huge project would take a very long time, at least one or two years to complete.

Now it’s actually from Fusu. Bian learned that he only had to wait another month to see the actual train.

This was definitely a great surprise.

Even with Ying Zheng’s determination, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

The courtiers were all smiling..

While looking forward to it, they are also overwhelmed with emotion.

Today’s Great Qin is so powerful that they can hardly imagine it..
