Chapter 551: The First Generation Steam Engine

The forty-year grand ceremony of the Emperor Ming Dynasty is over, and Zhu Yunwen once again strengthened his already supreme divine power and imperial power, and also made the entire Ming Dynasty fall into a more fanatical and even irrational personal worship trend.

Whatever you are doing, have to have a thought in your heart at the first time.

This is my command!

"Under the leadership and orders of His Majesty the Emperor, go and build this country and work hard to put it into production."

Qiushi Bao carried the mission of sending Zhu Yunwen's speech to every place in the country, and ignited the passion in the hearts of people all over the country.

Until you do your best, until you are exhausted.

A country of more than 70 million people is united, and the power that erupts from the true unity of all the people will be infinitely terrifying.

Now, this power is still contained and has not burst out, what is lacking is only a valve port that has not yet been opened.

And this valve port is steam!

Once the steam engine is fully docked with the factory, then all the power and enthusiasm of the country will turn into a frenzied burst of energy.

Mo Cheng knew that he was doing his best like his academy.

'Dying for the will of the monarch is the highest glory in the life of every Minglian people. ’

Countless banners with various Endeavor fonts hung on the walls of the Academy of Sciences, and Mo Cheng's eyes were bloodshot, he hadn't had a good rest for nearly a month since the military parade speech ended.

Working for more than eight hours a day, eating, drinking, and sleeping in the Academy of Sciences, Mo Cheng couldn't even remember the direction of his house, and of course he didn't have the leisure energy to think about these things.

"The entire Academy of Sciences, even the technicians who led us so-called scientists to tens of thousands of people, spent endless money on the country for several years, but they couldn't even make a steam engine, and they didn't want their faces!"

Mo Cheng hissed and reprimanded: "Father Jun is watching, hundreds of millions of people across the country and the All-Ming Federation are watching, if you can't do it, I and you should be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!" ”

This is a manifestation of the loss of reason, but this is the norm in the fanatical atmosphere of the entire Ming Dynasty.

I don't know how many scientific researchers are tired and faint in the research and development posts one after another, and even some are injured because of the fryer caused by recklessness, if it were not for Zhu Yunwen to urgently call a stop and force the Academy of Sciences to ensure rest, I don't know how many valuable talents in the country are also folded in the front-line posts.

But Rao is like this, and the Academy of Sciences still has no intention of stopping and resting.

Motorizing steam is the only goal of the entire Academy of Sciences at the moment.

There is a way that the emperor lives up to his hard work.

Those who are self-reliant must have heavenly favors.

After months of almost sleepless experiments, the first steam engine that could run on its own was literally developed by the Academy of Sciences.

"Upside down installation, reducing the ring diameter of the chimney, and generating high-pressure steam in the cylinder are the ways to make the steam engine run on its own."

In the past, low-pressure steam could only be used for simple pumping and spinning operations by means of large equipment, large cylinders and boilers.

The only way to make a steam engine run on its own and generate a constant flow of force is high-pressure steam.

"Where is the margin of knowledge?"

Surrounding this slow-moving steam engine, Mo Cheng burst into tears of excitement and danced with his hands: "That is, one day, some inanimate objects, iron, steel, and ore are raw materials that are integrated with the knowledge in our minds, and then they can spontaneously operate and exert kinetic energy that cannot be achieved by human beings."

These inanimate things may run faster than tigers and leopards, or even faster than birds.

The ancestors can make a hot air balloon to take off, we will not be able to make new tools that can appear in the blue sky in the future, knowledge is boundless, never there, we have achieved what our ancestors failed to achieve, created a new era, and our descendants will be greater than us.

Long live the steam! Long live knowledge! ”

After learning the news, Zhu Yunwen also couldn't wait to rush to the Academy of Sciences and saw the steam engine slowly moving with billowing smoke up close.

"We replaced the gears under the steam engine with flanges, and equipped them with the rails needed for the steam engine to travel, so that the steam engine could move on this track."

Mo Cheng took a set of research data and came out: "The current speed is four hundred zhang in a quarter of an hour, because the kinetic energy of steam is a constant speed and there is no exhaustion factor like a horse, so it should be able to move about three thousand zhang in an hour."

In the next step, we will plan to build a larger, more precise cylinder and increase the negative strength to make this steam engine run faster. ”

Zhu Yunwen's shocked face was numb.

The movement speed of 3,000 zhang in an hour may not be as good as the foot strength of an adult man, but this is the movement efficiency of the machine, which is a breakthrough of zero!

And the track that Mo Cheng said in his mouth that is dedicated to fitting the gears of the steam engine is the railway.

"We plan to link the carriages behind the steam engine, so that we can transport people and transport steam." Mo Cheng was bare-eyed and hissed excitedly: "We tried once, and when we were loaded with five thousand catties of coal and stone, we reached the maximum load, and the steam engine could not move due to insufficient thrust.

But when it was less than 5,000 catties, the steam engine could still move, but it moved at a speed like a turtle crawling.

This shows that as long as we continue along this road, we will develop a better and more powerful steam engine, which can not only carry people and load, but even reach the desired place faster than a horse. ”

"I see."

When Zhu Yunwen turned to leave, his whole body was trembling, and he was about to cry.

He was so excited.

For more than 20 years, Daming only took more than 20 years, and the intelligent and hard-working Chinese people really developed the first steam engine from scratch in such a short time.

Europe went from the Newcomen steam engine to Watt to George Stephenson, but it took a hundred years.

It is true that the Europeans are engaged in independent research and development by a few small technical engineers in the private sector, but the Ming Dynasty is the investment of the whole country.

However, before the Newcomen steam engine, the Europeans had laid a solid theoretical foundation for the first generation of steam engines for hundreds of years, but the Ming Dynasty did not even have the most important basic theory.

In this world, there is no difficulty that can stump the wise and hard-working sons and daughters of China, or the great Chinese nation.

"There are too many miracles created by our Chinese nation, and there are too many sufferings we have endured, but we have never been completely defeated, this is the greatest place of our nation, I believe that after experiencing the rebirth of the Chinese nation after the rebirth of the precipice and the sea, the land of Shenzhou, and the rebirth, it will definitely take off again, stand proudly in the forest of the world's nations and prosper forever, which I firmly believe."

In the Qianqing Palace that night, Zhu Yunwen solemnly wrote this sentence on a note.

"Send it to the Academy of Sciences, and say that the 75 million sons and daughters of China in our generation thank them for everything they have done for the nation and the country! When the steam engine is put into use in the future, I will definitely personally commend their merits in the Huagai Palace, and I will write down the names of each of them by hand on the yellow paper, and sacrifice them to the Taimiao Temple and the Heaven and Earth Society. ”

These low-key and obscure scientists who are obsessed with scientific and technological research and development are the biggest heroes and the brightest stars of a country.
