Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 250 The advent of the steam engine

After sending Yan Shigu away, Feng Daiwen summoned Li Chunfeng and Qingyun to study the ancient books. Fortunately, there is Yan Shigu's translation, so it doesn't seem too troublesome.

There is still the original picture on the bamboo slips, which is not troublesome for production, and Yan Shigu research has prepared a complete set of materials for them, including various data of straight roads and carriages.

The scientific research institute is full of talents, and it is easy to restore the carriage and the straight road, and the straight road is still in use now.

But the carriage is interesting, it is not the most two-wheeled carriage, but four-wheeled, six-wheeled.

After experiments and research, it was finally concluded that this is why straight roads were built and the tracks were unified. Four-wheeled vehicles are not easy to turn, so straight roads are needed, but four-wheeled vehicles can transport more materials and transport them to various places through straight roads. It is convenient for the imperial court to govern the region and conquer the border.

In the end, I found that although it cannot travel [-] miles a day, its use is relatively limited. The requirements for the road surface are too high. The road surface needs to be smooth, strong, and not too many curves, but the transportation capacity is really good.

Fortunately, it provided them with a lot of ideas. Now that there are many concrete roads, four-wheeled carriages can be used. After all, four-wheeled carts are more labor-saving and have more shipments.

…………

Feng Daiwen has been staying in the scientific research institute for a month. At first, he wanted to hide for two days to recuperate before going back. Later, he became obsessed with making steam engines.

Eucommia is a kind of medicinal material, not only is there a large amount of wild, because when Shuofang Medical College was established, it was proposed to plant medicinal materials artificially. With the help of Taoism, the imperial court funded and established eight large medicinal material bases in Datang, and Eucommia was established in Qinling, this is also because there are many wild eucommia in Qinling, which is suitable for growth and easy to collect seeds for cultivation.

Now that it has discovered its new use, it is natural to increase its cultivation. Of course, Feng Daiwen doesn't need to worry about these things. If you give orders, someone will naturally take care of them.

The leaves, fruits, and twigs of Eucommia are taken, crushed with a stone mill, soaked in alkali, and boiled to obtain glue, which has good elasticity and is not like isinglass, which deforms at a higher temperature.

The eucommia glue was successfully produced, and according to Feng Daiwen's requirements, it was made into a mat and placed at each joint, and the sealing effect was very good.

The latest steam engine has just been made, all of which are made of the best steel, and have been forged many times before being shaped by the most skilled blacksmiths.

Especially the gears inside are not only steel, but also forged steel. It is made of steel after thousands of hammers and hammers. It is very hard and tough, and ordinary steel knives can't cut it at all.

Each part of this machine has been tested individually many times. The size distribution of the gears inside is more reasonable. The steam pushes the piston and drives the gears. As long as the first prototype is made and the principle is known, the rest will be relatively simple.

"Woo! Woo..." The steam made a loud sound through the upper nozzle, closed the exhaust valve, waited for a while, and the piston began to move slowly.

When the gear is attached, the piston starts to rotate, and the speed is getting faster and faster. Then the stone mill is attached to the back, and the stone mill starts to rotate driven by the gear.

Seeing the stone mill turning, Qingshi took out a bag of wheat that he found somewhere, and kept filling it, and then white wheat flour was ground out.

After another stick of incense time, the bag of wheat in Qingyun's hand had already been ground, and everyone watched the machine running silently, and the rumbling sound seemed so pleasant at this moment.

The little Taoist who added coal by the side worked extraordinarily hard, adding some every once in a while, keeping an eye on the fire so as not to make it smaller.

"Success, success, success! Haha! Success!" Li Chunfeng walked around the machine twice, did not find a place for air leakage, jumped up like crazy and laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha! Haha!" Everyone laughed wildly. This is the result of everyone's hard work for a month, dozens of discussions, and taking turns sleeping.

The machine has been running for an entire hour without any problems. It can be said that this is truly a successful production.

"Let it run all the time, and if there is no problem after an hour, stop and check." Feng Daiwen said loudly to Qingshi.

"Understood! Master Hou, I will keep watching." Qingshi was also very excited, staring intently, and answered Feng Daiwen loudly without looking back.

Then Feng Daiwen greeted Li Chunfeng and Qingyun out of the main hall, found a clean place to sit down and said: "Now the first one has been successfully built, observe it for two days, if there is no problem, start to make the second one, increase the steam, the piston, it should be able to increase Great power for it."

"Master Hou is right, and this official thinks the same way. If you want a big power, you have to increase the steam, increase the piston, and adjust the gears according to the situation." Li Chunfeng's excitement has not yet passed, and the smile on his face does not stop. However, he nodded fiercely and replied.

"We also need to find a way to control the size of the steam and adjust the power conveniently. If it succeeds, the next step is practicality. Think about using it to forge iron, whether it is faster and stronger than humans.

I am trying to find a way to install it on the boat, without using sails, it can travel quickly whether it is downstream or upstream. " Feng Daiwen ordered.

"That's right, it can be used on ships, and it can travel day and night, and it doesn't require too many sailors." Qingyun nodded in agreement.

"It has too many uses. Think about how long it takes to beat the steel into shape, and it takes a lot of force. If you use a machine to force it, isn't it much more convenient.

Using it to drive the machine must be very powerful and stable, so it can be used to make many styles of machines, which requires your research.

How to make it more delicate and more powerful requires constant experimentation. For the production, I can only provide one direction, and the specifics are up to you. "Feng Daiwen thought of all kinds of machines in the future, and wished to make them immediately, but he really didn't understand, so he could only tell Li Chunfeng with gestures and gestures.

As the direct creators, Li Chunfeng and Qingyun had already thought of many ideas, and after hearing Feng Daiwen's reminder, their thinking was like a diabetes insipidus, and more bright spots kept appearing in their minds.

And the power of the steam engine is obvious to all. Thinking that the world will change because of me, I trembled with excitement, took a few sips of tea, and then calmed down.

Car pliers wash and planer!This is the most widely used machine in the mechanized industry. Feng Daiwen doesn't know too much about high-tech things, but when he made antique weapons back then, he had these small machines at home and used them countless times, so he was naturally impressed.

I found a pen and paper, drew it according to the appearance in memory, and noted some of their uses beside it. As for the internal production, Li Chunfeng and the others will naturally need to study, but the power has been solved. These are not mechanical problems, but some transmissions. That's all, it's hard for them.
