Chapter 1032 Qin Fen suffered a tragic defeat
In the power equipment department, Zhou Xu heard a series of "Fuck" as soon as he entered the door.
He was a little confused at first, but when he walked in and saw Qin Fen fiddling with the delicate components in his hands and Zhuang Mengdie busying around not far away, he basically had an idea of what was going on.
Then, he patted Qin Fen on the shoulder.
“Don’t use ordinary people’s thinking to guess the ability of a genius.”
The reason why geniuses are called geniuses is that they have demonstrated abilities in their professional fields that are completely incomparable to ordinary people and even beyond ordinary people's common sense.
In the field of power, Qin Fen may be a super genius, but in terms of manual ability, he is destined to be crushed into pieces by Zhuang Mengdie in seconds.
He couldn't even imagine how Zhuang Mengdie could achieve such precision without the assistance of precision machines.
Perhaps the shock that Zhuang Mengdie brought to him was too great. At this moment, facing Zhou Xu's sudden appearance, Qin Fen's entire reaction was much calmer.
Just as he was about to salute, Zhou Xu raised his hand to stop him, then pointed at Zhuang Mengdie who was busy, and said softly...
"Don't disturb her work, let's talk outside."
As they were talking, the two of them quickly moved outside the factory.
"Tell me, what stage has the steam engine reached now?"
"Your Majesty, we have already produced a test version..."
At this moment, Qin Fen was much more respectful of his entire state. After all, he had just suffered a beating from reality.
During this reporting process, Qin Fen's brain, which had suffered the impact of Zhuang Mengdie's skills, gradually calmed down.
"The precision of the parts produced by Vice Minister Zhuang is indeed impeccable, but this level of craftsmanship is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people. If we maintain this model and rely entirely on Vice Minister Zhuang to make parts, the efficiency will be very low, and during this process, Vice Minister Zhuang will not be able to do any other work."
According to Qin Fen's idea, Zhuang Mengdie is the deputy minister of the Equipment Department after all, it is impossible for her to stop working on other projects and stay here to work for him.
What they need now is to fundamentally solve the problem of the precision of steam engine parts.
"So according to my idea, I hope that Deputy Minister Zhuang can cooperate with me to manufacture a cylinder boring machine. I have thought about it and it can be driven by water. There happens to be a suitable place outside Black Moon City."
After all, Qin Fen has lived in Black Moon City for almost a year, so it is impossible for him not to see the combined waterwheel outside the Black Moon City.
“As long as you have a boring machine, you can produce parts that meet standards.”
As mentioned before, he is an avid fan of steam engines and is also fascinated by the entire steam age. He has studied many related things.
As he spoke of his entire set of follow-up plans, Qin Fen felt that his confidence was gradually restored.
He was careless before and didn't expect that the actual environment would be much worse than he expected, which led to his disastrous failure in his debut battle.
But it doesn't matter. Judging from the reaction of their majesties, he undoubtedly still has a chance. This time he must be fully prepared and fight a beautiful comeback! Qin Fen's amazing panel is there, and Zhou Xu will not doubt his ability.
To put it bluntly, his previous performance was simply because he lacked experience. After suffering the beatings of society and accumulating experience, he will grow up quickly. This is basically beyond doubt.
With this idea in mind, Zhou Xu naturally gave him enough trust.
"Okay, I trust you. If you need anything, just give me a list and I'll get someone to get it done for you."
Before, facing Zhou Xu's unconditional trust, Qin Fen might not feel anything. In his opinion, this was what he deserved.
But the situation is different now. His career has just begun and he has suffered a setback.
Although he still appeared calm and composed on the surface, to be honest, he was still a little unsure in his heart.
Seeing that Zhou Xu could still trust him so readily, Qin Fen couldn't help but feel a little more excited.
Unconsciously, his loyalty also increased by a few points, and he jumped into the ranks of loyal ministers with 80 points, which made Zhou Xu smile even more.
After talking about this matter, Zhou Xu certainly did not forget to tell Qin Fen about the volcano on the volcanic island.
"Your Majesty, do you want to develop geothermal energy on the island in the future?"
Qin Fen quickly guessed what Zhou Xu was thinking.
In response, Zhou Xu nodded very decisively.
"That's right."
"It's possible, but..."
Qin Fen understood what Zhou Xu meant. What Zhou Xu wanted was geothermal power generation, and he had a rough idea of it.
"It's too early to study this now. The technology and conditions are not in place yet."
"I know this, I just want to confirm it with you first so that you can be prepared."
Hearing this, Qin Fen pondered for a moment.
Then he nodded vigorously.
"I have a rough idea of it."
"It's good to know the number."
While talking, Zhou Xu and Qin Fen briefly chatted about the cylinder boring machine. Since it was going to use hydraulic drive, the location of the factory must be changed.
At the same time, the overall planning of Black Moon City has been almost completed.
In order to meet the requirement of hydraulic drive, some adjustments will undoubtedly be needed to build a factory.
After leaving the equipment department, Zhou Xu's mind was full of follow-up adjustments, and he had no intention of inspecting the next place for the time being.
He simply went back to the palace, went straight into the Qinzheng Hall, and began to seriously think about the subsequent arrangements.
Just like that, three days passed, and Li Gan, the director of the ordnance forging department, went to the palace to present a knife!
Zhou Xu pulled out the newly forged sword and examined it carefully in the sunlight.
Just looking at this sword, Zhou Xu felt that it was not much different from an ordinary crystal iron sword.
But he didn't know if it was because of his eyesight, or because of the special luster formed by the refraction of light and the blade. At some special angles, he always felt that he saw a faint fire.
"It's not that your majesty is dazzled, but because after the fire crystal was added to the sword for forging, flame-shaped dark patterns appeared on the blade!"
After understanding the situation, Li Gan, the craftsman who forged the sword, hurriedly explained.
"It's completely invisible if you look at it normally, but at a certain angle and with the right light, it will appear and glow like a flame!"
After listening to Li Gan's explanation, Zhou Xu nodded to show that he understood.
"What about performance? Is there any improvement in performance?"
This dark pattern sounds a little cool, but for Zhou Xu, the performance of the sword is more important than anything else.
In response to Zhou Xu's question, Li Gan nodded quickly.
“Although it’s not huge, it’s still an improvement.”
