Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 552

Taichang's calculations were accurate, and Song Yingxing rushed over with a few officials about a month later.

However, Song Yingxing was completely stunned when he saw the scene in New Liaoyang City.

He really didn't expect that there were no other buildings in such a big city except densely packed sheds, let alone that there would be so many colorful curtains hanging outside these sheds.

Seeing Song Yingxing's stunned look, Taichang couldn't help saying proudly, "How about it, Chang Geng, isn't this shed beautiful?"

He is really a little proud, because this style of architecture is tantamount to his original creation, and the people of the Apache tribe especially like this style of architecture.

He really likes it, not flattering him, everyone in Liyang City wants to build this kind of work shed.

Moreover, the cities of other Apache tribes are also building such sheds.

This really made him a little proud.

Song Yingxing didn't know what to say when he heard the words.

What's the purpose of this shed to be so ostentatious?
Of course, he wouldn't talk to the emperor like that.

He was stunned for a while, and then carefully said: "Your Majesty, are there iron-smelting furnaces installed in these sheds? When the blower blows on the iron-making furnaces, sparks fly around, these curtains may be ignited! "

Who told you that iron-smelting furnaces are installed in these sheds?

Taichang shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no, these sheds are for people to live in, and there is no iron-smelting stove in them. The shed with the iron-smelting stove is over there."

After finishing speaking, he took Song Yingxing to a corner of the city.

Song Yingxing was really in a daze right now.

Can people live in the shed?
He looked all the way over, and there were indeed people living in these sheds, and there were many, many people living there. There might be hundreds of people living in one shed.

Moreover, these people seem to live very comfortably.

The children were chasing and playing inside, very happy, and the adults were all smiling.

He also lived in a work shed, but that was when he forgot to eat and sleep to develop things, and he would not usually live in a work shed.

It's a bit strange that these people actually take the workshop as their home.

He looked at it for a while, and finally passed through the area of ​​layers of curtains and came to the real work shed area.

The work sheds here are normal. There are no curtains on them, and there are iron-making furnaces inside. Moreover, there are a lot of coal and iron ore piled up around them.

This place was originally a work shed for the common people in Liyang City, but now they have all moved out, and the curtains have also been removed.

Taichang led Song Yingxing and his party around these work sheds, and then led them into a work shed covered with curtains.

This work shed was obviously specially prepared for Song Yingxing and his party. There were rooms separated by brick walls on both sides. Each room was fully equipped with everything such as beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs, and it was completely in the local style of Ming Dynasty.

In addition to these compartments, a large table and some long benches were placed in the middle of the work shed, and several sets of the Four Treasures of the Study were placed neatly on the large table.

The layout here is similar to that of the Chase Room in the Armed Forces City, which is specially used for R&D and design. The only difference is that these rooms have no roofs, or in other words, these rooms are the big roofs of the shared work sheds.

Taichang led Song Yingxing and his party around inside, and then asked: "Chang Geng, how can you live here? If not, I will order someone to build a house for you right away. You are wronged here." It will be finished in about a month."

Hearing this, Song Yingxing cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this place is already very good. It is ventilated and cool, and the light is still sufficient. We will live here. It's very good. Your Majesty, why don't you tell me that the mining machinery is a little bit different?" What request, to be honest, I feel a little itchy."

Hahahaha, this guy is still excited when he hears that he is going to develop new things.

Taichang directly called Song Yingxing and several officials from the Ministry of Industry to the Datiao table, took out a large white paper and spread it out in the middle, then picked up a pen and explained while drawing: "Look, Chang Geng, what is under the mining machine? The wheels can be made like this, which is a few rows of wide gears and a wide chain on the outside. Such a wheel plus a chain is equivalent to an iron wheel walking on the rails, and the wide iron sheet in the middle of the chain is equivalent to moving As long as you make the iron piece wider, you don’t have to worry about the wheels getting into the ground.”

He was actually talking about crawlers, but there is no such thing as crawlers at the moment.

Song Yingxing looked at the somewhat abstract schematic diagram, pondered it carefully for a while, and couldn't help but said with surprise on his face: "Your Majesty, you are much better than the wheel with the big fork that I thought of at the beginning, Your Majesty, you are really amazing , with this thing, the car you mentioned can also be done!"

Uh, if you use crawlers as a car drive, aren't all the cars on the road with the same chassis as tanks?
However, the idea is still possible.

Because there are no good roads for cars with rubber tires to drive at the moment, if they are made into crawlers, the speed will be slower, and they can drive without roads.

Thinking of this, Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Well, the car will be discussed later, you can make it whatever you want, let's make this mining machine first."

Song Yingxing nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, let's make mining machinery first. Your Majesty, tell me what equipment is needed for mining."

Taichang picked up the pen again, and explained while drawing: "Look, behind here we can bring a row of ox plows to dig out the coal seam like digging the ground.

This must be able to rise. It rises when driving without mining, and then presses down when mining.

We can bring a huge iron shovel in front of us, which must also be able to lift up and turn.

In this way, after the coal seam is dug out, just use this big shovel to pick it up and pour it into the mine cart.

That's all for the time being, you can make a few first to see the effect, and then we can think about what other machines we can make. "

Song Yingxing heard the words, couldn't help rubbing his hands excitedly and said: "Okay, I understand."

Although Taichang's painting is a bit different, but he really understands it.

The row of ox plows in the back is the kind of plow he wanted to make for plowing the land.

The big shovel in front is a bit like the bucket of the big waterwheel, but with a few shovel-like spikes added.

These are not difficult to do, he mainly wants to try the effect of the wide chain.

If that can be done, then the machinery for farming and the cars on the road will be successfully developed.

Of course, there is nothing in New Liaoyang City right now, not even an iron ingot.

There are also iron-making furnaces, coal and iron ore here. If he wants to develop mining machinery, he has to start with iron-making.

However, this is not a big problem for him.

What he brought with him was the original team that built the train factory in the capital of Eastern Yin. Some were in charge of steelmaking, some were in charge of foundry casting, and some were in charge of processing machine tools.

What he wants to do is roughly to turn the abstract paintings drawn by Taichang into blueprints that can be processed.

This doesn't seem to be too difficult for him.

Taichang may not have imagined that his simple suggestion would lead the development direction of the entire automobile industry astray.

Tracks are indeed better than car tires in many ways. At least they don't pick up roads, or even don't need roads.

At this time, the crawler was developed, and it is no wonder that the development direction of the automobile industry has not changed.

Because there is no special road for rubber-tyred vehicles at the moment, and tracked vehicles do not need special road repairs, or even no roads, and can basically drive on any terrain.

Those engaged in research and development naturally choose the direction of research and development based on the existing conditions, and tracked vehicles are obviously the most suitable for the existing conditions.

As for the problem of slow tracked vehicles, there is always a solution.

Chances are, instead of cars with rubber tires, there will be giant tracked cars everywhere.
