Half an hour later, Liu Mingqi hurriedly took Su Xiaoxue to the "Steam Engine Experimental Workshop" outside the city.

If you want to experiment with a steam engine, the site must be large and all kinds of supporting facilities must be complete.

Even when it is time to study the train, a railway track has to be laid.

Such things cannot be used in the imperial city.

So Liu Mingqi arranged it outside the Imperial Capital City before.

The area outside the Imperial City is large enough, and many places that are not suitable for farming are still idle, so it is also easy to find a suitable land.

This steam engine experimental workshop is under a hill thirty miles away from the capital, just like many factory workshops, such as hot air balloon research workshops, paper research workshops, cannon factory, etc.

no way.

Good fields must not be occupied, and the only things that can be used are the ones under these mountains.

The steam engine experimental workshop covers an area of ​​more than 100 acres.

Because the experiment transcends the times, it is usually that there are hundreds of yamen runners patrolling in shifts next to them, mainly to protect the safety of the property inside.

If the steam engine produced is stolen to sell scrap iron, it will make people cry.

The most important researchers are the two hundred young children of the Mo family.

They were assigned to Liu Mingqi by Jing Hedi, and they were young people who started learning Liu Mingqi's primary physics and primary mathematics two years ago.

Liu Mingqi comes to teach them every five days on average and explains the knowledge about steam engines.

They also worked very hard. After more than a year of research, the prototype of the steam engine has been made.

But it's easy to get accidents.

There have been many accidents such as blockage, stopping operations, explosions, etc., and not only dozens of handymen were killed or injured, but even seven of the Mo family members who were very precious in Liu Mingqi died and more than 30 were injured.

It’s really a pity that they have true love for something as wonderful as the steam engine, otherwise such a terrifying casualty rate would have been retreated long ago.

But Liu Mingqi also ordered them to stay in a safe place to watch when the formal experiment begins. If there is any fault or situation, they can direct the handymen to do it, and they must not go forward.

They are still unhappy and feel that there is a problem and they need to observe it as soon as possible to know what are the mistakes.

But Liu Mingqi also has the capital to threaten them.

"Whoever dares to disobey, I will transfer him out of this laboratory. You will never participate again."

Under this threat, the Mo family members finally became obedient most of the time.

Relatively speaking, the lives of handymen who risked their lives were at greater risk.

But Liu Mingqi paid a high salary.

Five hundred cigarettes a day, if you encounter a fault, you will go to investigate and eliminate them. If you are injured, you will receive compensation ranging from 100 to 1000 taels of silver... If you die, your parents, wife and children will go directly to Prince Yu's Mansion to be a servant of the death deed.

Now they were excited and wished they were injured every day, and they were not afraid of death.

Who doesn’t know that King De’s words are the only one word?

Even if I die, my parents, wife and children will enter Prince Yu’s Mansion, and that will be like heaven!

So even if dozens of people were killed or injured in more than a year, no one was afraid.

But this time the situation is a bit big.

When Liu Mingqi came over, dozens of stretchers were already placed on an open space, and all the people lying on it were covered with white cloth. More people were injured and screaming, receiving treatment from the doctor.

There are many doctors in the steam engine laboratory, which are specially prepared for them.

However, some accidents happened too suddenly, so there was often no time to rescue them.

Although it looked very miserable, when Liu Mingqi met Ke Deyou, a worker in charge of the laboratory, he was excitedly talking to several Mohist children.

"His Majesty!"

Ke Deyou excitedly said to Liu Mingqi: "We have developed the research!! The steam engine can operate normally!!"

"Um?"

Liu Mingqi was stunned and turned to the stretchers and injured outside, "Isn't it said it was a big accident? They all exploded again?"

"Yes, it exploded, but not the steam engine!" Ke Deyou said quickly: "This is because they did not control the steam engine properly, and added another pulley below. So under the huge kinetic energy, the steam engine suddenly derailed and slid out, hitting someone all at once, causing a tragedy!"

"We were happy at that time, and a bunch of people surrounded us, causing a dense crowd...so this accident happened." A Mo family member added.

"The people who died and injured were all R&D personnel?" Liu Mingqi's face turned pale.

Mad!

I have only trained such a hundred steam engine experts in total. Who can bear it if you die dozens of them at once?

Ke Deyou also knew the seriousness and quickly said, "At that time, most of the people present were handyman assistants, and most of us were still outside... Fortunately, the Mo family children next to the steam engine... Look, it was these people, they were fine. Among the dead and injured, there were only a dozen Mo family children..."

"call……"

Liu Mingqi let out a long sigh.

As long as these seeds of physical science are fine, it is a blessing in disgrace.

But he immediately frowned again: "You are doing this! Why didn't you do safety well before doing the experiment? This time it was not fixed, what about the next time? Are you so lucky every time? Or do you think you have a big life? I have warned you long ago that science is not a game! This is a very serious and dangerous thing! As a result, you don't pay attention to it!!"

"Your Majesty forgive me!"

Several people lowered their heads in embarrassment and guilt.

Liu Mingqi rarely gets angry with them.

Even though he had failed so many times before, Liu Mingqi still patiently explained it to them and continued to teach them knowledge.

But now, even though they have succeeded, they are still scolded. This is obviously because Liu Mingqi is very disappointed with their behavior.

"On the first day you came in, I told you that science is a very rigorous thing and must not be careless. A slight mistake will cause great harm." Liu Mingqi continued: "It seems that you don't remember it at all! Whether it is irresponsible to yourself or irresponsible to others, it shows that you don't understand what respect for science is.

Starting tomorrow, you will personally visit the families of the handyman assistants who died and injured. Not only this time, but also visit them before! You can take a look and listen to how tragic the death and injury is, and how much harm it will bring to your family!

Only by knowing how to respect science and life can you truly become a responsible scientist and achieve greater achievements in the future! Otherwise, all I have trained is a group of madmen, so even if I succeed, what's the point?

You must always remember that we invent things and make things so that people can be happier, rather than bring disaster to people! It is not the first thing we can do to ourselves and our work partners, which is wrong!!”

The boy became more and more excited as he spoke. He didn't see a large group of Mo family children around him. They were all silent and listened to the emperor's reprimand.

Su Xiaoxue looked at the boy in front of her, looking at his slightly round but not handsome face, and suddenly felt that this man was very touching.

She believed that Liu Mingqi's words were inspired by feelings, without any performance.

And having such compassion for the world... speaking human words means cherishing the nature of life, which is a great virtue.

Especially if the person who possesses this virtue is an emperor, it is even more valuable and better.

Suddenly, Su Xiaoxue remembered the terrifying weapons that Liu Mingqi invented.

Wood-handled grenades, hell cocktails, picy explosives, steel knives, and cannons that have been made... These are all terrifying weapons that kill countless people.

At least murderous weapons and compassion for the world seem paradoxical.

But Su Xiaoxue knew that Liu Mingqi was not inventing these things to snatch territory or invade and kill people.

It's purely for self-defense!

Even the original picy acid explosive was done to blow up the gates of ghosts, to reduce the burden on the canal transportation and make circulation more convenient.

As a result, Liu Mingqi and the others went to Jiangnan and saw that the Japanese pirates were so cruel, they used them step by step on their weapons.

Su Xiaoxue is not a saint, on the contrary, she is very unique.

So she felt that these weapons were fine.

There is absolutely no problem.

This man is so fascinating!

Why didn't I notice it before?!

...

Liu Mingqi didn't know that her future eldest daughter-in-law had become addicted to her.

He was only worried about getting angry at this time, and said all the things he hadn't said before.

It was as if he was the first time he came into contact with physics knowledge, the ordinary glasses teacher in the county town told them solemnly.

All scientific inventions should be serious and rigorous.

If you can't even do this, the disaster will be unimaginable.

In order not to spread this trend and to make this group of people more cautious in future scientific research, he had to educate them vigorously.

After saying so much, he finally concluded: "Tomorrow... no, tonight, Ke Deyou, make me a plaque and hang it at the door of the laboratory. The plaque says six words 'Science is not a game'. Do you know?"

"yes!"

Ke Deyou was scolded so much that his head was almost hanging to the ground, and then suddenly a flash of inspiration in his head: "Your Majesty, why don't you write an inscription? This will make us more alert!"

"……All right!"

Although Liu Mingqi was stunned, she could only agree with the slightest.

Although my handwriting is not very good, the emperor personally wrote the inscription, which makes this meaning very important.

If these researchers can implement this concept, they will make considerable contributions to the scientific research in the world!

Chapter completed!
