Mashali really doesn't want to see Zhao Wuji, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, again, but he has to see him.

The battle where the 20,000 coalition forces were almost wiped out, and it was eight months after eight months. The Americans took a lot of compensation of 10 million taels, which caused Masali, who promoted that battle, to be very serious scolded.

If he hadn't known China very well and had met Zhao Wuji, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, several times, he would have returned to the United States and went to jail now.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of your country, can you see me today?"

When Masali said this, his attitude was very low, which was simply unimaginable a year ago, and even eight months ago, it was unimaginable.

Before, he had always been arrogant even when facing local officials like Songjiang Prefecture Prefecture, and even imperial envoys from the Qing court.

But now, he was a little humble and whispered to the ordinary guards at the gate of the Ming Academy of Sciences.

"Are you upset? Come every day, come every day, I will tell you that my legs have broken."

The guards ignored Mashali's identity as the American Minister, and their nostrils were directly clamoring at Mashali.

It was not that the guard was too arrogant, but because he was taller than Masali, both of them stood on the ground, and his nostrils were facing Masali.

"Please help me inform you again."

Masali took out two pieces of silver from his pocket very sensible and handed them to the two guards.

The guards then laughed, and one of them turned around and entered the side gate of the academy and went inside to find someone to inform him.

The reason for this is a side door rather than a gate is not because Masali dared not walk through the gate, but because there are many foreign ministers, such as France, Britain, Tsarist Russia, and even Japanese envoys, which together have people from more than a dozen countries.

These people have been waiting for many days, but they only know that they are waiting at the gate and have never been summoned.

Mashali was relatively smart, so he chose a side door where he was the only one who came to ask for a visit.

Although he couldn't get in several times before, Mashali was unwilling to give up because it was his only chance to make meritorious service.

After waiting anxiously for a quarter of an hour, Masali saw the guard just now and walked over with a man.

Is it because the Ming Academy of Sciences is large in size, or because these two people are walking too slowly?

Although Mashali was dissatisfied, he did not show any expression at all, looking patiently waiting.

"His Majesty declares the American Minister Mashali to meet with him."

The person who came did not say nonsense, and what he said made Masali so happy that he almost jumped up, and he raised his legs and walked in.

"Slow down." The person who came said with contempt: "It's true that he is a barbarian. I've stood up. Who, you search for his body."

Mashali was angry but did not dare to attack, so he could only open his arms and let others search.

After a short-handled musket and a purse were found, the guard next to him did not ask for his opinion at all and kept it on his behalf.

I wouldn't take it if I had known that I would have gone out.

Mashali felt a little distressed, but he still followed the person to the Ming Academy of Sciences.

Along the way, I saw many buildings under construction, and many young people with hair growing on their foreheads and wearing new clothes instead of robes.

This kind of outfit is not uncommon in Tokyo.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, everyone's hair could grow naturally, and it became a past tense without leaving any hair.

A little more than half of the clothing in Tokyo has changed from Qing Dynasty clothing such as long robes and jackets to new style clothing that is easier to wear and more convenient to move after wearing. It looks similar to Westerners, but it is simpler and more energetic.

In fact, it is just a Zhongshan suit, but it was named "Mingyi" by Wu Yan.

The army, the Ming Academy of Sciences, and the court officials gradually changed into clothes of similar styles.

Although some people were dissatisfied with the process, under Wu Yan's high-pressure policy, the questioning of the pitiful voices did not have any meaning.

Masali didn't care much about the dress of these people, what he cared about was the mental state of these people.

Compared with the Qing Dynasty people he had seen before, they looked ignorant and most people were not energetic. The people they saw in Tokyo, especially those in the Ming Academy of Sciences, were energetic and energetic.

This Zhao Wuji can really succeed.

When Masali was feeling in her heart, he was taken to a square. From a distance, he saw many people forming a circle, constantly making depressing low voices, and his body blocked Masali's view.

After approaching, a guard came over and walked in through a gap with Masali.

When Mashali saw the scene where he had seen the crowd before, but had never expected it to appear on the land of China before, he was stunned.

...

After the steam engine was established, it was reasonable to build steam cars. After all, steam cars were the prototype of trains in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

In the eyes of many people, steam cars sound very rubbish.

But in fact, steam cars are actually very strong.

As early as 1804, someone built a steam car that could pull 10 tons of heavy objects, but the mileage and speed were very tight, and it could not be truly put into use.

In 1825, steam cars were already used as buses in the UK and were put into formal operation.

Later, it became the source of power for trucks and ships.

This is also the reason why steam engines have always been the representative of the first industrial revolution.

Improving transportation capacity is really important for industry.

After Wu Yan built an advanced steam engine, the most difficult problem in building a car was actually tires.

For many years when horse-drawn carriages and ox carriages appeared, they only had wheels but no tires.

This is like when humans started riding horses in primitive society, but the appearance of horseshoes and stirrups many years later.

Tires are very important to vehicles. Not only cars, but also carriages and ox carts, but steam cars also need tires.

Fortunately, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it was very easy to find some rubber. This thing was discovered by Columbus in the West Indies and brought back to Europe. After that, the wheels in Europe gradually changed from wooden to hard rubber.

Of course, Wu Yan couldn't make hard rubber tires, he wanted to make pneumatic tires.

In fact, pneumatic tires were already available at this time, which appeared in 1845 and obtained a British invention patent. However, because the British were gentlemen, they liked to use carriages instead of steam cars, and even issued laws to limit the speed of cars, so pneumatic tires had no market.

Therefore, every country has times of backwardness and ignorance, and the only difference is when we can wake up.

After the pneumatic tires are manufactured, there is no big problem.

The manufacturing work of automobile main body is not difficult for Wu Yan and his technical research team.

He just needed to draw the ready-made drawings in his mind, and there were a lot of "Luban successors" to help him create qualified parts.

This is the advantage of handwork. As long as there is no mass production, all mechanical components before the Second Industrial Revolution will not be a problem.

Therefore, the first steam car in China, and the most advanced steam car in the world at this time, appeared in the Ming Academy of Sciences.

The maximum speed of Wu Yan driving is...30 kilometers per hour.

According to normal historical progress, 50 years later, someone has built steam cars with a speed of 205 kilometers per hour.

Therefore, the steamed car built by Wu Yan cannot be said to be fast or slow. In short, it is the most advanced in the world.

After measuring the straight-line speed, which shocked the Ming Academy of Sciences and everyone who was qualified to watch in the Ming Dynasty, Wu Yan began to test the flexibility of the car again.

Flexibility is very important, otherwise you will be destroyed in minutes if you drive it out.

Fortunately, Wu Yan is very good at martial arts and has a very good understanding of this car that he built himself, so he can circle around the square or even bypass some obstacles that he can put.

The picture Mashali saw was the scene where Emperor Wuji of the Ming Dynasty was driving.

To be honest, it should be a normal thing for an emperor to drive, but at this time, the other two "emperors" had never even rode bicycles on the land of China, so the scene of the emperor driving in front of him shocked Masali.

That ransom of 10 million taels of silver would not be used by Zhao Wuji to buy a car from a distance, right?

Just as this thought came to mind, Masali heard a conversation between the people next to him.

"Is Your Majesty really Wu Quxing? I think Your Majesty is actually Wenquxing. Otherwise, how could he build such a magic car that only exists in heaven?"

"What is Wu Quxing Wenquxing? Your Majesty is the true emperor. Wu Quxing Wenquxing descends to earth should be His Majesty's minister. You are too small and your situation is too small."

"Shame, be ashamed, be taught, be taught."

This conversation made Masali begin to doubt his life.

A car made by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty?

How is it possible.

The thought of disbelief subconsciously arose in my mind, but in a flash, Mashali thought of the information about the world situation that he heard when he first met the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

It is clearer than what he knows and more timely.

Then, he remembered the purpose of his trip, the White Horse Magic Spear of the White Horse.

Even that kind of gun can be built, what's the difficulty of building a car?

But why did he build these things? Could it be that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had been studying in the UK before the uprising?

Or Germany?

When Mashali was puzzled, Wu Yan was a little bored when he drove, so he stopped the car.

"It's all broken."

After Wu Yan said something, he did not explain anything else, such as those craftsmen who participated in the manufacturing, they did not need to worry about such things at all. Some people helped him take care of them or even threatened them.

This is why Hua Tong, a science idiot who only wants to become a woman, was able to become the president of the Ming Academy of Sciences.
