Borrow the day to change the day

Song Yingxing, as a half-master, hurried forward to scold the guard just like Wang Peng.

But at this time, Zhong Jinwei saw something was wrong.If there were no special circumstances, a small guard would never insist on blocking himself from passing.

After all, this is just a power research institute, not the Xiliu camp with strict military discipline.Therefore, Zhong Jinwei reached out to stop Song Yingxing.He looked at the guard who was about to cry and said, "What's going on?"

The guard was under tremendous pressure, so his mind was muddled, and he just stopped Xing Guogong and his party.Now seeing that Zhong Jinwei didn't force him, instead he asked him kindly.

Feeling relieved, the guard replied: "The steam engine exploded two days ago and injured three craftsmen. Therefore, the director ordered that no one should be allowed to approach. The Duke is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, so you can't go there." The villain will report to the director, and the Duke will be allowed to pass after he is safe."

Upon hearing this, Gu Baichuan immediately suggested to Zhong Jinwei: "Duke, please wait."

Wang Peng didn't believe it at first, but when he saw the boss talking, he stood back to his place.

Zhong Jinwei knew that the steam engine would indeed explode if it was not handled properly.He quickly asked: "How is your director, are you injured?"

"No...no, he just left the workshop, so he wasn't there when the explosion occurred." The guard quickly replied.

Zhong Jinwei heaved a sigh of relief, as long as there is nothing wrong.He waved his hand and said, "Go, I'll wait here."

When the guard heard this, he kowtowed gratefully, and then rushed to the steam engine workshop to report.

"Grandpa, it's not the reason for that kid's arrangement. What kind of airs are you putting on yourself?" Li Laosi was a little bit unconvinced, that thing was not gunpowder, and it exploded!

Zhong Jinwei looked at him when he heard the words, and said helplessly: "You, you need to learn more. The steam engine does have the possibility of exploding. If you understand the principle of the steam engine, you won't guess like this."

Song Yingxing was thoughtful, and asked Zhong Jinwei for proof: "Duke, but there was too much steam, and it couldn't be released, so it exploded in the end?"

"That's it, so if the steam engine is not handled properly, it may explode." Zhong Jinwei turned his head when he heard the words, looked at Song Yingxing and said.

Although it was confirmed, Song Yingxing had some opinions in his heart.There was an explosion in the power research institute under him, and several craftsmen were injured. Is it too much not to report such a big thing to me?

Otherwise, he would be able to report to the Duke in time, and the scene just now would not have happened.

Just when Song Yingxing was secretly angry, Fang Yizhi, director of the Power Research Institute, led his craftsmen, that is, researchers, to the door in a hurry.

As soon as he saw Zhong Jinwei, he immediately knelt down to salute.

Zhong Jinwei stopped them with his hand, and then asked with concern: "The steam engine exploded, how are the wounded craftsmen, and how is their morale?"

Fang Yizhi and a group of researchers were very moved when they heard that Xing Guogong was so concerned.Among them, Fang Yizhi quickly replied: "One of them was seriously injured, and the other two were slightly injured. They are all recuperating at home."

"Why didn't you report this matter?" Song Yingxing took this opportunity to question.

Fang Yizhi hesitated for a moment, looked at Xing Guogong, and then answered Song Yingxing: "Principal, I am afraid that the officials will report it, because it is dangerous, so I won't let you study it."

He put all his energy into this steam engine for so long.If the steam engine was banned from research because of the explosion, it would be like snatching away the favorite woman of a good friend Mao Bijiang, and this result is absolutely not wanted.So worrying about gain and loss, I chose to conceal it and not report it.

Zhong Jinwei was speechless, and before Song Yingxing could speak, he confessed first: "Don't worry about this, this steam engine is the most critical thing related to the prosperity of Ming Dynasty in the future, and the imperial court will insist on developing it no matter what. Only in the future , we must pay attention to safety."

According to the temperament of the court officials in the past, once such a problem arises, if it does not have too much relationship with them, they will often stop doing it. This is the safest way.As the saying goes, if you do more, you make more mistakes, and if you don’t do it, it’s good. This refers to this situation.Therefore, based on past experience, Fang Yizhi's worry is not unreasonable.

When Zhong Jinwei said this, he solemnly confessed: "You are all Daming's precious wealth, so don't make any mistakes."

Unexpectedly, Duke Xingguo raised them so high by saying such words, which made Fang Yizhi and his subordinates very moved, and quickly agreed.

Among them, Fang Yizhi also explained: "Duke, this explosion has actually been anticipated by the lower officials, so some precautions have been taken. Otherwise, there may still be casualties."

He is obviously proficient in steam engines, and he has speculated about situations such as explosions caused by excessive air pressure, so he has such precautions.

Zhong Jinwei nodded, and then asked: "Can I go and see it now?"

"Please, Duke!" Fang Yizhi and his subordinates stepped aside, and then stretched out their hands to ask Zhong Jinwei to go to the workshop.

Gu Baichuan listened to it, and felt doubtful, so he stepped forward and stood in front of Zhong Jinwei, and then asked Fang Yizhi, "Is the steam engine all right now?"

Seeing the question from the head of the Dongchang stall, Fang Yizhi didn't dare to be negligent, and it was necessary to explain, so he quickly said: "The steam has been released, and the steam engine will not explode."

After getting a safe answer, Gu Baichuan was relieved, and he turned sideways to give way.

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei came to the steam engine workshop familiarly.At first glance, it is different from before.

In this steam engine workshop, two steam engines have been placed.One of them, apparently the one that exploded, is being reassembled.The other one has already turned off the fire and is not running.There is a thick wall separating the two steam engines.

Fang Yizhi introduced to Zhong Jinwei: "Mr. Guo, this steam engine is already ready for initial use, including the example of lifting water mentioned by Mr. Guo. It has been tested successfully. But the efficiency is too low, so it has been improved. It is precisely because of this improvement , did not deal with it properly, and there was an explosion."

Under Zhong Jinwei's surprise, Fang Yizhi began to introduce Zhong Jinwei in detail.

He was indeed a physics genius in the Ming Dynasty. He had already developed a vacuum steam engine shortly after the year, but the efficiency was very low, and it was far from meeting the requirements that Zhong Jinwei had told them before that it could be used in various places as power.

Therefore, after Fang Yizhi and his subordinates pondered, they made improvements.Although the efficiency has increased, it has also increased the danger.

After Zhong Jinwei listened to his introduction, he didn't spare his saliva at all, and praised them repeatedly.Then a concept was proposed to them, which is the safety valve.

Zhong Jinwei has never studied how to do it, but the principle is still known.When he explained it to Fang Yizhi, it happened to fit the solution Fang Yizhi and the others envisioned.

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei stopped bothering, and asked Fang Yizhi to pay attention to safety, study hard, and strive to research it out as soon as possible.
