This winter is undoubtedly a hot one for the inventors and researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology in Mingjing City.

The mechanical sound of "click, click, click", mixed with the sound of the wheel rotating at high speed, was constantly coming from the huge research factory.

As soon as he walked to the door of the factory, Luo Ji could clearly feel waves of heat, carrying a special smell of metal and engine oil.

Walking into the factory, feeling the temperature rise in the room, Luo Ji subconsciously took off the coat he was wearing.

At this moment, a goblin in scientific research clothes quickly ran forward and bowed to Luo Ji. This man was Xu Jing, the dean of the Academy of Science and Technology.

"The humble minister Xu Jing is here to see Your Majesty!"

There was a lot of noise in the factory. Luo Ji couldn't hear Xu Jing's voice very clearly, but he probably knew what the other party said.

While raising his hand to signal Xu Jing to excuse himself, he directly focused his gaze on the huge machine in front of him.

The Academy of Science and Technology, as the name suggests, is naturally the place where other civilizations from all over the world specialize in studying high-tech products.

The goblin clan and their top talents from the human race are the main force here.

The project currently being developed by the Academy of Science and Technology is none other than the steam engine!

Leaving aside other fields, Luo Ji plans to give priority to the manufacturing and research and development of "steam locomotives" in the steam engine project of All Realms Civilization.

Therefore, according to his requirements, this steam engine was developed directly on the scale of a steam locomotive, so it is also quite large.

At this moment, the steam engine that appeared in front of Luo Ji had actually gone through dozens of improvements. As for the number of small-scale tests that had not been reported, it was probably countless.

At that time Luo Ji got the design drawing, which was the design drawing of an "early steam engine". The word "early" cannot be ignored.

The efficiency of the steam engine at that stage was very limited. If you want to use it to run a steam locomotive, it is undoubtedly not enough.

However, this does not deny the value of that design drawing.

Under the premise of owning an early steam engine, it is undoubtedly much easier to make gradual improvements and increase the output efficiency of the steam engine than to start from scratch.

With the full research and development of both human and goblin inventors, while ensuring safety, the output efficiency of this steam engine has now been completely improved.

Here, looking at the machine that was running crazily, Luo Ji had to sigh in his heart.

The guy who was the first in the world to think of converting steam energy into mechanical power was truly a genius!

How could ordinary people think of such a thing?

Without disturbing the staff of the Science and Technology Institute who were busy in the factory, Luo Ji quietly retreated outside.

As the dean of the Academy of Science and Technology, Xu Jing followed suit.

The door of the experimental factory slowly closed behind him, and Luo Ji, who was standing outside, felt that his ears were much quieter.

"Xu Jing, this steam engine research and development project has been completed very well. I am very satisfied. Can the output efficiency of this steam engine continue to improve in the short term?"

Faced with this question, Xu Jing pondered for a moment and then replied...

"Reporting to your Majesty, the improvement work of the steam engine has now reached the latest stage. If we want to improve it again, unless we make new breakthroughs in research, it will be impossible in the short term."

After hearing this, Luo Ji nodded slightly, knowing what he was saying.

Then, he waved, and Luo Yunxi, who was following behind, immediately understood and directly handed over the document package in his hand.

Seeing this, Xu Jing subconsciously reached out and took it.

The next second, Luo Ji's voice sounded again...

"Since no further improvements can be made in a short period of time, the steam engine research project has come to an end for the time being. In the file package are the design drawings of the new project..."

Hearing this, Xu Jing's hands holding the document bag subconsciously tightened a bit, and a look of caution appeared on his face. The design drawing of the new project? This is an important thing!

But Luo Ji paid no attention to this and continued talking...

"The equipment on the design drawing is called a steam locomotive. It is a vehicle that uses steam power as an energy source. I want you to come up with the results as soon as possible. In terms of research funding, you should write an application report after reading the design drawing. I will confirm it.

, the financial department will allocate it."

"Wei Chen obeys your orders!"

After giving all the necessary instructions, Luo Ji and his guards hurried back to the palace.

There is no doubt about the importance of the research and development of steam locomotives.

Under the premise of having a steam locomotive, if a war breaks out on the border, the troops in the rear city can completely ride on the steam locomotive and rush to the border in a short time, greatly improving the support efficiency.

This is only the value in the military field, and in the civilian field, the value of steam locomotives is not to mention. The greatly improved movement efficiency will definitely bring about a series of chain reactions, and even bring about the development of civilizations in all worlds.

Development efficiency can be increased.

Now that the steam engine with sufficient output efficiency is ready and the steam locomotive project has been ordered, it is obviously time to lay the train tracks.

As long as a standard model is confirmed and implemented at the same time, it will undoubtedly save more time.

Luo Ji planned to leave the manufacturing of train rails to the dwarf blacksmiths. High-quality rails would presumably be more durable.

As expected, the task of laying railways still requires a large number of workers.

This problem has always given Luo Ji a headache.

In any case, let the dwarf blacksmiths build the rails first, and then let the people from the construction engineering department confirm the route of laying the railway and draw a route map.

According to the current scale of his Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization, it is estimated that it will take a lot of time to confirm this road map.

Therefore, Luo Ji put the issue of manpower mobilization aside for now.

Over the years, the large-scale development project in the Western Region has been going quite smoothly. After a while, there should be a wave of manpower available to come back.

At that time, we only need to mobilize that wave of manpower to carry out railway projects.

Moreover, Luo Ji didn't plan to build railways for the entire civilization of the world right off the bat.

On the premise that steam locomotives are temporarily put into military use, in a short period of time, it is only necessary to lay rail tracks in the border area.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the troops in the border area can be gathered quickly, ordinary invasion wars in the same rank will not pose any threat to him.

One thing after another was quickly ordered. The latest steam engine was successfully developed, the research on steam locomotives was carried out, and a large number of rifles and cannons were equipped. It was destined that the civilization of all worlds was entering a state of 'big leap'.

Once this step is taken, a new era will usher in!
