Chapter 574 Steam Turbine
Beijing's electric power, steam and other experimental facilities are not located in the city of Beijing, but outside the Yongding Gate of the southern city.

After Chen Mu came out of Zhang Juzheng's mansion, he went to the Ministry of Industry to get the news, and he was quite happy in his heart - he didn't have to go around the city.

Chen Mu felt that the Beijing city in this era was too big. It took him half a day to go around Xuanbei, Xuannan, and Zhengxi in Nancheng. Go south all the way out of Yongding Gate.

Big and dirty.

Sandstorms that will come at some point, narrow streets, muddy smell and messy hawking everywhere, mosquitoes and flies flying all over the sky - if you look down from the sky, it is indeed like this, it is terrible.

But if he was in the middle, Chen Mu didn't think there was anything bad about it. For the ancient agricultural dynasty, the more developed the city, the more dirty it was. Dirty was because of the large population, and the poor appearance of the city was inevitable. .

However, there are also some human reasons. Zhu Dixiu’s North City of Beijing has a complete sewer system, but later the outer city was built during the Jiajing period, and it was only after the repair was completed that the sewer system was forgotten. As a huge city with a population of over one million, this is a very scary thing. .

It was much better outside the city. Just in time for the farming work, Chen Mu took Wu Bian to drive horses along the way, and there were lush greenery everywhere. After not walking far, he saw them building a simple factory village outside the city under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

Chen Mu came to check and accept the research and development results of the Ministry of Industry. These things were originally on the way. The officials of the Ministry of Industry had plenty of time to explain to him. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Industry has too many affairs to take care of. It can only set up a branch outside the city. , so the officials of the Ministry of Industry in the city know nothing about the research and development of these things.

The Beijing North Branch of the Ministry of Industry is located in the south of the city, with its back against the Yongding River. There are large farms in the east and north.

From a distance, it doesn't look like a government office at all, but looks like a bandit cottage standing in the field, completely different from what Chen Mu imagined in his mind.

"This……"

Seeing Chen Mu's doubts, the small official of the Ministry of Industry who led the way on horseback cupped his hands and said with a flattering intention: "The old man discussed the system of telegrams, and he did not set up a yamen. He focused on doing things, and the copper and iron needed They are all dispatched by river boats, and it will not be too late to repair the branch office after this matter is over."

Chen Mu nodded, looked at this sloppily built engineering department, thinking that there were still officials in the imperial court who did such things, presumably Zhang Juzheng had transferred a capable person, and he asked, "Who is in charge?"

"The imperial court recruited Kong Yanggong, who has become an official, to inspect, and Zhou Sijing, who has been serving as a councilor for many times, is the head of the council."

What Kong Yanggong was talking about was Ma Sen, the old man who was an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was invited back to supervise this matter. Chen Mu had met him before, but he didn't have much friendship.On the contrary, Zhou Sijing and Chen Mu, a councilor from Macheng who are now the head of the Ministry of Industry, are much more familiar with him. He has an older brother named Zhou Sijiu who served as the magistrate of Qiongzhou. Hai Rui admires his virtue as an official, so he has heard of this name.

"The next official is going to report for Jing Haibo?"

Holding the rein, Chen Mu was about to nod his head to answer, when he heard a commotion in the wooden village from a distance, mixed with loud shouts, followed by something slamming into the gate of the wooden village, making a loud noise of heavy iron overturning.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry frowned and rode forward. Not long after, the door opened, and a huge boiler fell crookedly on the side of the road. There was a lot of water and mud on the ground. The official's face showed repressed uneasiness, and he cupped his hands from a distance.

This is unexpected.

Chen Mu hurriedly rode his horse over, got off his horse near the door, and heard the officials nearby remind him: "Jing Haibo, be careful, there is boiling water on the ground."

Chen Mu nodded slightly. There were traces of people just extinguishing the fire on the ground beside the road. He looked around and saw no craftsmen were killed or injured. Then he bowed his hands to the old man at the head and said with a smile, "The younger generation has seen Ma Gong!"

"I don't dare to do it. Right now, the sub-division is the head of Zhou. The old man is just helping to allocate some money and food." Ma Sen still remembered Chen Mu, and introduced Zhou Sijing to Chen Mu with a smile on his face, saying: "Electric power The Book of Mechanics is new to us, and we need young talents to take charge of it... If you don't pay attention, troubles will arise."

Zhou Sijing was over forty years old, about the same age as Xu Zhenming. He did not wear official robes, but only ordinary clothes. He wore a square scarf on his head. It is a real rubber band, not made of later generations of plastic.

"Next Zhou Zili, I have heard of Jing Haibo's name for a long time, you can just call me Youshan."

Chen Mu greeted each other with several principals, then looked at the boiler next to him and asked, "What is that?"

He was very curious. The big iron block lying on the side of the road looked like a boiler, but Chen Mu knew very well that it was definitely not a steam engine boiler made in Nanyang.

Thanks to Guan Jiang, Nanyang's steam engine has a strange shape. The model is "brick kiln fire stove type". Chen Mu was busy with the war and did not spare his hands to guide it. Later, it was improved several times, mostly in the crankshaft and connecting rod. Has little effect on the effectiveness of the steam engine...the steamer is the root, but how efficient it is depends entirely on other components.

For the steam engine that has just started experimenting, all parts can be moved after being perfected, and if the parts are not perfect, no matter how good the shape of the boiler is, it can only jet but not move.

The steam engine boiler that hit the wooden door just now is interesting. It looks like a big clock with the back cover down, and it is a big clock divided into two parts. The upper part is the pot and the lower part is the furnace. The other side.

Zhou Sijing heard Chen Mu ask this, his face flushed, and he said: "I have been watching the steam machine for a long time, and I have a feeling in my heart, I want to make the motor move... The gas plug is broken, and the steam gushes out, scaring the carts, and even the tram hits the door. .”

"tram?"

Have you already played such an advanced technology tree?

"Well, tram." Zhou Sijing explained to Chen Mu: "The steam machine has a motor, put it on the car, and it can be moved around by people and horses. It can be used for test lines in various places, and to test the resistance of materials mentioned in Jing Haibo's book. .”

Not what Chen Mu thought.

He asked in surprise, "How did brother Youshan put it on the cart for such a complicated thing?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Sijing was very interested, pushed the crystal glasses on the bridge of his nose, and introduced to Chen Mu: "Yu Guang reads the various parts of the steamer and motor. In this way, but the motor only needs to rotate to generate electricity, and it is like a waterwheel, using air as water, pushing the plate to turn, and only a copper pipe is needed.”

Good guy, this steam machine was sent to the Ministry of Industry, and it was improved?

Chen Mu blinked, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Maybe there is a new steamer that can be used by the branch, please show me Brother Youshan, how powerful is it?"

"Yes, there are, but that's only for my next guess."

Zhou Sijing pointed to a steam engine placed on a wooden platform not far away. Except for the common valves and the like, the cylinder of the Nanyang steam engine was removed, and it was only connected with copper pipes. The disk is made, and the air is taken in on one side and the air is released on the other. There is a wooden pole in the middle of the disk connected to the motor installed next to it to rotate with the motor.

Saying that, Zhou Sijing felt even more embarrassed, and said: "Although it is a new establishment, its power is very small. It is the same boiler, Lifang and Nanyang Steamer Eleven."

The efficiency of Nanyang steam engine is not high, Zhou Sijing's efficiency is even lower, but Chen Mu is very happy.

Isn't this a steam turbine?
Well... very very very primitive steam turbines.

　Good morning!

　　Tweet "The Madhouse of Ten Thousand Realms":
　　I do not know since when, there is such a mental hospital in the world.

　　It once appeared on the busiest street in Gotham City, and was once hidden in the darkest corner of Raccoon City. It may have been described in a short section in "Detective Sherlock Holmes", or it may be in "Hannibal". There is one second of footage in the video.
　　Some people say that the girl in the nurse's uniform looks a bit like Harley Quinn. Some people say that the old man in the ward on the second floor calls himself Professor Moriarty. Some people found an old chainsaw in the corner of the corridor, and some people Under the bed, a card with a clown painted on it was pulled out. The attending physician was always lazy, and there were inexplicable bloodstains oozing from the cracks of the floor.

　　If one day, you stumble across a strange hospital on your way from get off work, welcome to visit whether you are sick or not.
