Chapter 240 Steam Engine Experiment Number
"If we build a bigger market, how can so many merchants come?" Yan Liben asked.

"Hey, this question is on point. If the restaurant next to you is better and the inn is more comfortable, where would you like to go? Businessmen are shrewd, and they will not fail to see the benefits, so not only have to sell, but also It's expensive, so sell it in advance." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

"How to sell in advance?" Yan Liben asked Feng Daiwen's idea every time as if he was a fan.

"The so-called selling in advance requires Yan Shilang to make a model of the overall market, which is exactly the same as the market built in the future, and then invite everyone to watch, introduce the benefits, and let them buy it later. All internal designs can be according to their Do it according to your requirements." Feng Daiwen explained.

"Wonderful! In this way, the merchants must be willing to pay first, so that the court can complete the construction without spending too much." Yan Liben immediately understood the advantages when he heard it, and clapped his hands in admiration.

"Spend money? Who said you have to spend money? You have to make a lot of money. All housing prices are increased by five times. Double." Feng Daiwen looked at Yan Liben like a fool, if he didn't make a lot of money in real estate, but instead spent money, it would be a failure, and this is the operation of a state-owned company, if it fails, Feng Daiwen can only be regarded as an idiot.

Yan Liben was sweating profusely when he heard it, and only then did he understand where his work was focused.

"Master Hou, how can common people afford such a price!" Qing Yun said dumbfounded while listening to their discussion.

"Of course, the residential housing does not need to be so high. If it is a relocation compensation, it will be doubled. If others want to buy it, it will be tripled. Installment payments are allowed, such as how much is paid every year. Ordinary people do not count interest within five years. Others use one. A very low interest rate is enough," Feng Daiwen explained.

"Master Hou is kind, so although the price is a little higher, the people will definitely be willing to buy a new house." Qingyun said with a Taoist salute with one hand.

"The Taoist priest is over-rewarded, and the court can earn money from this matter, so it's nothing." Feng Daiwen smiled and waved his hands.

"Master Hou, you are busy first. I will go to the site to have a look and make a model as soon as possible." Seeing that he understood the matter almost, Yan Liben immediately got up and left.

"Okay! Sir Yan, please!" Feng Daiwen always valued this kind of pragmatic officials, and he also attached great importance to them, so he got up and sent him away.

"Master Hou, please come with me and take a look at the good things we made." After Yan Liben left, Li Chunfeng and the others couldn't help but dragged Feng Daiwen to the backyard.

"This is?" Feng Daiwen looked at the things in front of him in a daze, only to see a three-foot-long and one-foot-high steel machine appearing in front of him. The dark iron reflected the dark light, like a monster crawling in the hall.

"This is made according to the principle of steam you mentioned. This is the third machine. The first two machines cannot be used and have been destroyed and returned to the furnace." Li Chunfeng said excitedly.

"Is this already usable? How strong is it? How long can it work?" Feng Daiwen felt very unbelievable that it was actually made by them, and asked hastily.

"It took more than 300 people to make it in half a year. It can be used, but there are still many problems to be solved." Li Chunfeng replied with less enthusiasm when he heard Feng Daiwen's question.

"Tell me if you have any questions." Feng Daiwen asked while walking around the machine.

"Ahem! There are still many problems. The power is not strong enough. Now it can't even move the stone mill next to it. There is also an air leak. A lot of air will leak from various interfaces. This is also one of the reasons for the lack of power, and this The machine is too big, consumes too much steel, and I don’t know if it will be suitable for use.” Li Chunfeng said with a little confidence.

"Take your time with the power issue. It is surprising that you can make the current sample. As for the air leakage, have you considered using glue to make a pad at the joint? As for your saying that it is useless, don't worry about it at all. When it is actually made, you will find that its power is very strong, so it is worthwhile to spend a lot of steel." Feng Daiwen explained one by one.

"However, we have used many kinds of glue, but we can't achieve a complete sealing effect, and it often cracks again after a short period of time. Moreover, such a large machine is installed there. If it is only used as a mill, it is completely unnecessary. We have hydraulic power. Enough." Li Chunfeng asked with a headache.

"The boat is installed on the boat. If you think about it, you can move forward quickly without sails, running day and night. And as the technology matures, the machine will be more powerful and the machine will be smaller. Think about it! If you install a The small one is on the carriage, it can run like flying without a horse, and it can never stop." Feng Daiwen described the bright future to them.

Following the imagination of Feng Daiwen's words, Li Chunfeng and others giggled with gleaming eyes, obviously lusting after.

After waiting for a while, Qing Yun, who had the best concentration, shook his head and came back to his senses and asked: "But what about the sealing problem, I have tried fish glue and bone glue, but it didn't work."

"First of all, you should not use a seal, because no matter how good the seal is, it will break apart with shaking. Instead, it should be made into a cushion and placed at the joint. As long as it is pressed tightly, there will be no air leakage. I remember Eucommia can The best glue can be used for sealing, you can try it.

Secondly, try several methods, adjust the gear size, find out the maximum power under the same situation, and find more people to participate in the research together. As long as you have this invention, I guarantee that you will leave an indelible part in history. Pen. "Feng Daiwen encouraged.

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your suggestion. We will definitely work hard to make a practical machine." Qingyun and the others said firmly.

"I believe that you can do it, and then you will find that it is more useful than you can imagine, and it will become an epoch-making thing. It is equivalent to opening a new era for you. You must do your best. Everything else You can postpone it until the time comes, and I will guarantee you a title for each of you." Feng Daiwen was very clear about the epoch-making significance of the steam engine.

This completely represents that mankind has entered the mechanical age from the handicraft age. Steam cars, ships, and trains will also appear, which means that the country's control will also reach unprecedented broadness.

According to the previous standards, even if it is conquered in a wide area, it is actually difficult for the central government to reach the border. The strongest control of a country is the range that can be reached by riding a horse for a day.
, called the Central Government.

It takes three days to ride a horse to get to what the central government can control. Generally, anything in these places can be dealt with quickly.

If it takes more than three days to ride a horse, the control is already very weak. If it takes half a month to get there, it already belongs to the border and is usually guarded by important ministers. If it takes a month to get there, you can only rely on officials. If the officials are not loyal, it basically belongs to the independent kingdom.
