Chapter 355 Science and Technology are the Primary Productive Force



How about this method?

Sima Qi suddenly understood, his eyes widening as he exclaimed, "Your Majesty is wise; this is a moment of profound enlightenment for me!"

Actually, it wasn't difficult at all; it was just that Sima Qi had never encountered anything like it before.

Iron rods are arranged neatly, and gears are fixed to both ends of each rod. Heat is used to drive the gears, causing each rod to rotate at the same speed, generating forward momentum.

After leaving the Academy of Sciences, Zhao Huan did not return to the palace, but went to the manor.

He had a new plan: after the steam engine was invented, he would use Yongsheng as a benchmark for commerce, to set an example for merchants in Tokyo and even the Song Dynasty, and to change some of their traditional ideas.
