The backyard workshop is not small, but the big guy in the middle now occupies nearly one-third of the area.
Many Mohist workers gathered around and looked at this big guy.
Zhao Jun stood quietly behind the door frame and looked at the thing.
It looks like a train, so it should be the steam locomotive designed by Juzi according to the drawings.
Before she could take a closer look, the familiar Juzi was already standing next to the car.
He took a shovel in his hand and threw the coal into something below, then walked quickly to the front cockpit.
Zhao Jun couldn't see clearly from a distance, so he walked inside involuntarily.
Juzi stood in the front cabin and tinkered with it for a while, then saw the locomotive slowly start to move.
The speed was not fast, and smoke from burning coal rose from behind.
In Zhao Jun's opinion, the locomotive's movement speed is very slow, but the fact that it can move shows that the research has made progress.
But the Mohist disciples around were very shocked.
They don't know why the locomotive can run on its own without any manpower, horsepower or any other manpower.
Is it really the energy provided by the coal?
It turns out that there are things in this world that can operate without human power, which gives them a clearer understanding.
When Juzi was researching steamships, he was by the Wei River and not all Mohist disciples saw it with their own eyes.
But today everyone here has witnessed firsthand the power that coal brings.
This was a great shock to all the Mohist disciples.
Zhao Jun also felt very amazing standing in the crowd.
Although it is not exactly the same as the steam locomotives she sees today, it is not easy to achieve this with such backward productivity.
"Master Zhao!"
Juzi saw Zhao Jun standing in the crowd at a glance through the glass window.
She stuck her head out excitedly and screamed.
The Mohist disciples around her turned to look at her, and Juzi quickly stopped the car and ran over.
Zhao Jun greeted the disciples next to him, and then started talking to Juzi who came over.
"Sir, you are finally here. Ever since I heard the news that you returned to the palace, I have been looking forward to your arrival."
"Let's not talk about that for now. Sir, please come and see this steam locomotive. I've just been conducting the first test. The test is perfect, there are no problems."
Juzi excitedly walked to the motorcycle and began to introduce it to Zhao Jun one by one.
"This, this is where the power of the locomotive comes from, it comes from burning coal."
Zhao Jun saw clearly the place where he had just thrown the coal in, and there was still residual heat inside.
"And this cockpit. The glass windows on three sides were specially made for the eldest young master. They give you a wide field of view, right?"
Juzi opened the hatch and explained the operations inside.
"I have a question. Why isn't there a seat in the cockpit? Standing and flying is so tiring."
Zhao Jun actively put forward suggestions.
"Haha, sir, don't worry. I'll add more later. This is mainly because this is the first test and some details are not yet perfected."
Juzi said he understood and would pretend later.
"And then there's this, the really hard part of the whole car, the wheels."
The drawings that Zhao Jun gave him seemed to include the production of wheels, but due to the lack of key materials and technology, it was impossible to make the perfect round wheels as they are now.
“I originally wanted to make this wheel based on the design of an adult bicycle, but there’s no rubber left.”
"So in the end the wheel was made of iron, but this iron had been burned and forged to make it very hard."
Juzi excitedly took her to see it from top to bottom, and even demonstrated it himself in the middle.
"My Lord, Juzi has finally lived up to your expectations."
He finally sighed deeply, tears welling up in his eyes.
Zhao Jun was both surprised and admired.
In fact, she didn't understand a lot of what Juzi said just now.
Originally, she only had blueprints from later generations.
From drawings to actual samples, especially in an era when materials are so scarce.
It is not easy for the Mo family to create such a thing in such a difficult environment.
"Juzi, you and Mojia are really great."
I don’t know how to put it into words, it’s just amazing.
"Don't say that, sir. This is what we should do."
"Besides, this is just the first test. There are still modifications and adjustments to the track and other things to do later."
There was no blush on Juzi's dark face.
"It's not just the locomotives, the steamships you researched earlier really helped me a lot."
Not to mention the fact that the locomotives were already in use on the ship, which is even more incredible.
"By the way, is there any problem with the boat? We have tested it many times by the Wei River before. Later, I also asked Master Meng Yi, and he said that it can travel long distances without any problems."
When Juzi talked about the ship, his face became even more excited.
After all, it was a ship that had been put into use by Ba County.
Zhao Jun briefly told her about the performance of the ship in Ba County, and the Mo family felt very proud.
"That's good. By the way, sir, now that you're back, you shouldn't leave for a while. I still have a lot to learn about steam locomotives."
"The most important thing is that I don't know where this locomotive will be used in the end. After this period of testing, the locomotive is not fast, it consumes a lot of coal to burn, and the tracks still need to be laid along the way."
"You only gave me the blueprints for research, but didn't tell me their specific uses. I understand how to launch a ship, but I'm a little confused about locomotives."
"You know, I just make things."
The giant smiled innocently.
Zhao Jun understood that geniuses like Juzi often focus all their energy on one thing, so they are somewhat inflexible in other aspects.
"This locomotive has far greater uses than a ship. For example, if you add two more carriages to the back of it, it can be used to transport goods or provide passengers with rides. In short, it has many uses."
"I won't be leaving Xianyang anytime soon. I will personally promote the future uses of locomotives."
“You can continue to improve according to the blueprint.”
She briefly explained a few ways of using it, and Juzi seemed to understand it but not quite.
However, Zhao Jun said that she would be there during future promotions, so he felt relieved and could just focus on improving himself.
Zhao Jun discussed with Juzi here for a whole day.
I also have a better understanding of the structure of the locomotive.
In the evening, Zhao Jun, with his head full of new knowledge, slowly returned.
Sure enough, new knowledge is a headache, especially science knowledge like locomotive structure.
She patted her sore forehead and felt that she would have to rest for another two days.
But when she returned to the palace gate and saw a group of people standing outside, she knew that she probably wouldn't be able to rest well.
The person standing at the door was none other than Sun Cheng.
Sun Cheng was standing at the door with his men. She knew without thinking that it must be a king who came to cause trouble.
I just don’t know what Ying Zheng could want from her at this late hour?
