The craftsmen all know that such a large thing, and it is composed of so many small parts, and if you want to rotate so smoothly, each part needs to be very precise, and if you can't close it a little, the whole steam engine will not rotate.

"You guys think about it for yourself first, and if you encounter something that can't be solved, I'll think about it with you." Wei Bao said to several craftsmen.

The craftsmen stiffly agreed, "Yes, Childe." ”

Wei Bao finally finished arranging everything he was going to arrange, and then went to breakfast with Wang Qiuya.

I didn't think it just now, but now that everything is clear, the feeling of sleepiness and hunger immediately swept over my body.

"Later, Luo San will be stunned to choose a place, first build a big shed to put the steam engine, such a precious thing can't be placed in the open air." Wei Bao suddenly remembered this incident and said to Wang Qiuya.

"Well, I know, I'll go and tell the chief steward in a while, you go to sleep quickly, you can't open your eyes." Wang Qiuya said distressedly.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, wiped his mouth, and stood up.

In the past, in modern times, when I was happy, I often stayed all night, but after coming to Daming, the daily life and rest were too regular, and I would definitely go to bed before ten o'clock in the evening, and I had formed a habit, so I didn't sleep at night, and now I can't bear it.

"When you wake up, dig a well, I'm going to show you today, you don't have to dig a big hole that a person can go down to, you can dig a well." Wei Bao walked as he walked.

"If people can't go down, how can the mud get up?" Wang Qiuya frowned strangely, she had never heard of it.

The people of Jinshanli and Yongping Mansion, and even the people in most places in the entire north, have a big problem with drafting, except for a few places, there is no water for more than ten meters. There is no water even thirty or forty meters.

Wei Bao put the problem of water in the first place, and prepared to use this steam engine as a model to be responsible for pumping water.

In modern times, the method used in rural pressurized water wells is mainly to use water to discharge the air, and at the same time isolate the air, so that a negative pressure is formed between the valve and the water, so that the water is lifted up under the action of atmospheric pressure.

Because it is a negative pressure formed between the valve and the water, similar to the role of the piston and has no mechanical activity function, the shallower the well, the easier it is to press the water, the deeper the more difficult to press the water, and the 20-meter well basically cannot press the water up.

If it is more than 30 meters deep, it is absolutely impossible to suppress the water by manual vacuum, and the water can only be pumped up by electric pump.

More than ten meters of water can be pressed up easily. It is difficult to produce water from a well pressure well of more than 20 meters, because it will be very heavy and easy to enter air halfway.

Therefore, there are not many wells in the entire Yongping Mansion, except for the super-rich, no one will spend so much effort to dig a well at home, and they all go to pick up stream or river water to eat. The best building of this era, at most 50 taels of silver, is already a luxury building at the level of Yihong Courtyard, but in this era, it takes 200 taels of silver to dig a well, and it can't be as deep as it gets, because if it's too deep, it's easy to collapse.

In this era, there was naturally no machinery and equipment to absorb water, so only Wei Bao could come up with such a thing as digging a pipe well.

The iron pipe for drilling the hole has been built before, the front is conical, the back is the same as an ordinary round stick, and then made into threads, connected one by one, Wei Bao let people create a 1.5-meter-long iron pipe, a total of 30, 45 meters deep, thinking that this length can be out of the water anyway.

Wei Bao's Jiazhong has now built simple wooden houses, public toilets, several large warehouses, and all that is left for living is to dig a deep well and then build a water reservoir. Get a water station.

Without qualified drinking water, absolutely not.

Wei Bao thinks that the life expectancy of people in this era is short, and the biggest problem is the problem of water, as for the backwardness of medical care, he thinks that it is actually okay, most of the modern people do not often go to the hospital, at most they say that they have a few more injections of various vaccines than ancient people when they were young.

Sanitation is the most obvious difference between the ancient standard of living and the modern standard of living, Wei Bao is not particularly a person who loves cleanliness, but when he comes to the era of the Ming Dynasty, he will still seem to love cleanliness among men, giving people a different feeling of temperament.

If it weren't for the fact that the draft problem was the most important, Wei Bao would have hesitated to use this most important steam engine on a ship or a train. But after thinking about it, those are still too far away, and since they are used for samples, it is better to put them in this armor.

The experiment of using the steam engine as the propulsion power on ships began in 1776, and after continuous improvement, by 1807, Fulton of the United States made the first practical paddlewheel-propelled steam engine ship "Clermont".

Since then, the steam engine has been the only propulsion power on ships for more than 100 years.

In 1800, Trevisick of England designed a high-pressure steam engine that could be mounted on a larger car body.

In 1803, he used it to propel a locomotive that ran on a circular track, and to get people who liked novelty to ride and charge them, which was the prototype of the locomotive.

The development of a means of transport that could propel vehicles through rapid movement with a steam engine began. Among them, Britain's Stephenson took the lead in achieving breakthrough results.

The son of a coal miner, Stephenson grew up familiar with the steam engine used to pump water in the mines, and later decided to invent the means of transportation.

In 1814, when Stephenson tested the "Bratzser" locomotive, although it was successful, it also exposed many problems, such as too much noise, strong vibration, and the possibility of an explosion at any time of the steam engine.

When the train starts, smoke billows and sparks splash when the wheels rub against the rails; The people sitting in the car were covered in smoke and dust, and they were exhausted. The flames from the steam engine scorched the nearby trees.

However, Stephenson was not discouraged and kept improving. He added shock-absorbing springs under the carriages, replaced pig iron with wrought iron as the material for the rails, added small stones under the sleepers, increased the number of wheels in the front and carriages, and installed a steam engine in the front of the locomotive to reduce damage in case of danger.

By 1825, when Stephenson tested the Voyager locomotive, the situation had improved considerably. The Voyager towed 6 coal wagons and 20 passenger cars, carrying 90 tons and reaching speeds of 15 miles per hour. This spectacular spectacle attracts many people to watch.

There are a lot of people on both sides of the railway; There are also people on horseback, waving red flags, walking in front of the train to open the way. With the chirping of a train, it announces to the world the arrival of the railway age.

At the end of the 19th century, with the rise of electric applications, the steam engine was once the main power machinery in power stations. In 1900, there was a steam engine power station with a single power of five megawatts in New York, USA.

The development of the steam engine reached its peak at the beginning of the 20th century. It has the advantages of constant torque, variable speed, reversibility, reliable operation, convenient manufacturing and maintenance, so it has been widely used in various fields such as power stations, factories, locomotives and ships, especially on warships, and has become the only prime mover at that time.

Wei Bao felt that no matter what aspect he was used in, the big guys such as ships and trains were still far away from him, and he had to master the technology of manufacturing steam engines anyway, and first popularize it locally and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

There are a lot of antique exhibits on the Zhenyuan ship, and there are also generator sets, but he doesn't think he has the ability to be responsible for the equipment of the power era, if he can electrify the expected Weijiazhuang, one place can beat the world.

Wei Bao originally slept for three or four hours this night, and got up in the middle of the afternoon to arrange the drilling of the well, but he didn't expect to sleep until the second half of the night.

"I still can't have irregular work and rest." Wei Bao came back from the toilet, half leaning on the bed stall, and muttered to himself.

It's just past twelve o'clock now, although he has no problem finding people, they are all his subordinates, and they are on call, but it is inconvenient to do things at night after all, and the Liaoxi at the end of the first month is cold and biting, so he dispelled the idea of starting work overnight.

Wei Bao had nothing to do, and he couldn't sleep again, so he lit a cigarette, closed his eyes, and saw if he could fall asleep in a daze.

Knock knock.

There was a soft knock on the door.

Wei Bao opened his eyes strangely: "Who?" ”

"Me." Wang Qiuya's soft voice came.

Wei Bao snorted, "Come in." Secretly a little funny, in the past, when Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya entered their rooms, they all pushed the door and came in, but now they are familiar with the rules he set.

Wei Bao set a lot of etiquette for the people in Jiazhong, first of all, don't speak too loudly, taking Fan Lao Pimple as an example, all of them talk like singing old operas, they seem to be shouting out, and they can't speak if they don't shout.

In addition, when a young person meets an older person, or a person of a lower rank meets a person of higher status, or a person of a lower position meets a person of higher position in a group, he must bow and salute, and when he speaks, he must use honorifics, and he is not allowed to be arrogant.

What else is there to close the door, change clothes to close, women better not to feed in public, even if it is too late, to turn their backs, not to be 'too generous'. These are all Weibao regulations.

The door opened a crack, and Wang Qiuya stood at the door pretty, and asked softly, "I heard you wake up, do you want to eat?" ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "No, you can't eat, you can rest, don't be so nervous about me." ”

"I'm not alone, Xiaolin and Rui'er didn't sleep either, it was Rui'er who reminded me when she heard you get up just now." Wang Qiuya said gently.

Wei Bao was secretly amused, knowing that Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui must also be listening to Wang Qiuya talking to him at this time, secretly thinking that women are scheming, Wang Qiuya's words have the meaning of pleasing the two of them and refusing to concentrate on their work.

"You all sleep, if I want to get something to eat, I'll call you, and besides, I don't have the habit of eating at night." Wei Bao laughed.

"But you've only eaten one meal during the day." Wang Qiuya blinked: "I boiled some red date porridge, is it okay to drink a little?" ”

If it were in modern times, his mother cared so much about himself, he would have been impatient a long time ago, and his girlfriend would have been moved to death if he cared so much, but now, Wei Bao felt very warm, and he didn't feel impatient at all, and he didn't feel moved to death, as if this was a natural thing.

"If you three can eat at this time, I'll eat it." Wei Bao laughed.

"Okay, we'll eat with you." Fan Xiaolin's voice came from outside.

Wei Bao sneered and sat up.

Guarding three big beauties, and sleeping in their own outhouse every night, but there is no way to let one person sleep with them.

Wang Qiuya came in to help Wei Bao get dressed.

"I'm moving a little in the house, so you can hear it, or I'll move into the three of you and sleep together, right?" Wei Bao laughed.

Wang Qiuya's face was blushing, ignoring Wei Bao, but her heart was beating nervously, now it is a pattern of three women serving one husband together, but you can't sleep at the same time, right? In particular, Wang Qiuya also thought of Wei Bao's proposal to him to 'help each other' yesterday.

"Okay, but you don't need Xiaobao to move out, can't the three of us just move in? Your room is bigger and warmer than the one outside us. Fan Xiaolin got dressed quickly, and was already standing at the door, hearing Wei Bao teasing Wang Qiuya, and rushed to help Wang Qiuya answer.

"Xiaolin, what are you talking about? You just move in alone. I'm not moving. Wang Qiuya hurriedly said.

"Huh." Fan Xiaolin's beautiful eyes whitened Wang Qiuya, not because she thought Wang Qiuya was fake, but because she thought it was funny.

Wang Qiuya ignored Fan Xiaolin, helped Wei Bao put on his coat, and hurriedly went to serve porridge.

Xu Rui went to help Wang Qiuya get the dishes and chopsticks.

Wei Bao's room has a large desk and a table of eight immortals.

At Wei Bao's request, Fan Xiaolin, Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya sat around the Eight Immortals Table and drank porridge with Wei Bao.

"Is it good?" Fan Xiaolin asked.

Wei Bao nodded: "Not bad." Who did it?"

"It's Qiuya." Fan Xiaolin said with a smile: "Qiu Ya's porridge is the best." ”

"Where, just do it, and there are no tricks to cook porridge." Wang Qiuya's face flushed, "Those masters don't cook porridge like this." ”

"Hey, everything is technical, it's easy to say, but the taste of the production is really different, you just say green vegetables, fried vegetables have no technology, right? This trip from the capital is different from my mother's, isn't it? Wei Bao said.

"Well, pay attention to the heat, just this one, you need experience." Xu Rui said.

Wang Qiuya looked at Fan Xiaolin happily, then at Xu Rui, and expressed her gratitude with her eyes.

Wei Bao was also happy to see that the three girls got along so well.

He knew that there was the credit of Zhao Jinfeng and Sister Fang, and the three daughters were originally a little suspicious, that was because they all wanted to be wives, especially Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya, the two of them felt that they had the possibility of becoming their wives, and now there were two strong foreign aids, Zhao Jinfeng and Sister Fang, and the situation was immediately reversed.

Wei Bao didn't know that in fact, now in the hearts of Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya, they no longer have the luxury of becoming his wife, they just want to keep the No. 2 position, and their positioning has been reduced, so they will naturally not be as needle-to-wheat as before.

"Sometimes I really want to live my life like this, with the three of you by my side, I can be a small landlord in the township with peace of mind, which is enough." Wei Bao finished his porridge and stood by the wall, looking at the huge world map. The world is so big, what kind of development must it be to be satisfied? He still has the idea of a small common man in his bones, but in fact, he is very, very satisfied with the status quo, as long as no one comes to violate him, Wei Bao will never want to violate others.

Wei Bao has the mind to pursue power and wealth, and also has the mind to pursue beauty, but the wealth is boundless, the beauty is like a cloud, no matter how a person is, it is impossible to gather the beauties of the world to his side, in fact, there are Xu Rui, Wang Qiuya and Fan Xiaolin, three beauties with their own styles, he can already be content, he can be the king of this armor, he can control more than 3,000 people, and it is enough to satisfy the desire for power.

"Xiaobao, is this picture really a picture of the whole world? The world is so big? Our Yongping Mansion is only so small? Fan Xiaolin asked behind Wei Bao, "Not even the size of a fingernail?" Foreigners scribble, right? ”

"It's not scribbling, the world is like that." Wei Bao used his finger to point a little on Yongping Mansion and Shanhaiguan. Thinking of this era, the turbulent changes in the world made him feel that Yongping Mansion was indeed too small. Personally, he can be very satisfied with the status quo, but he knows that he cannot be satisfied when he puts himself on the level of Chinese.

"I don't even know much about Yongping Mansion, I haven't been to many places, if only I could go outside and see around." Fan Xiaolin said.

"It's not interesting to go to so many places, right? I think it's good to stay in Jinshan all the time. Wang Qiuya said, glancing at Wei Bao.

Wei Bao didn't say anything, Fan Xiaolin has a cheerful personality, he can understand if he wants to look everywhere, Wang Qiuya is introverted and shy, and he is content with the status quo, he can also understand, it's not good to comment.

"A good boy has ambitions in all directions, and I also agree with what Sister Xiaolin said, no matter how good your hometown is, it's good to have a hometown in your heart. It's time to go around. Xu Rui said: "Childe, all parts of Daming should be similar to our Yongping Mansion, right?" At most, there is a difference between the rich and the poor, and the words spoken and written should all be the same, right? And what about the outside? What are these places outside of the Ming Dynasty? Is Kennu over here? ”

Wei Bao pointed out the location of Jiannu and the location of the Mongols to the three daughters one by one, and simply explained to them what little knowledge he knew.

"Europeans are so good? Can it be as prosperous as our Daming? Fan Xiao Linqi said.

Wei Bao roughly said a little bit about the history of Europe he knew, this era, and before this era, in addition to a small part of Europe, there is also Chinese civilization, and other places are almost similar to the existence of barbarism, Wei Bao feels that there is nothing to say, what ancient Egyptian culture, ancient Roman culture, ancient Babylonian culture, ancient Greek culture, Wei Bao feels that the relationship with this era is not close, especially the African continent and the American continent, Australia, these are sparsely populated, and it can even be said that there is not much development. There's not much to say.

Wei Bao talked about the economy and culture in Europe, and talked about the Renaissance.

"Qin Shi Huang unified China, Qin Shi Huang's importance in China can not be overestimated, if there is no Qin Shi Huang, the benchmark of the unification of the world, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty countries may not become the Mediterranean coastal countries, a number of cultural circles take turns to compete for the Central Plains, into a strong and collapsed, other cultural circles overturned, towards a strong cycle. Since Qin Shi Huang, China has entered an unbelievable situation, no matter which dynasty, the new monarch is in the dynasty, overthrowing the old rule, as long as there is ambition to unify China, it has to go to great lengths to construct evidence from various ancient books to prove that it is the legitimate heir of the previous dynasty, not like the brutal war of Europe, where you live and die, leaving land and not leaving people, but just watching the rise and fall of high-rise buildings, only art, culture, science and technology have long-term vitality. The Renaissance in Europe began about 200 years ago and is still underway. They demanded that literature and art express people's thoughts and feelings, that science should work for the welfare of life, and that thoughts, feelings, and wisdom should be liberated from the shackles of theology. So all aspects of society are developing very fast! Wei Bao said.

"Well, I've heard that there are already very strong foreigners in the south, and it seems that there are also foreigners living in Jingshi now." Xu Rui echoed: "If they hadn't developed quickly, they wouldn't have come to us, this place is so far away from them." ”

Wei Bao looked at Xu Rui happily, although Xu Rui's words were simple, Xu Rui's insights were very appreciated by Wei Bao.

"Then the Europeans have surpassed us?" Fan Xiaolin asked.

"China's history is not without the competition that has occurred in European history. The Warring States period is a typical efficiency-oriented cultural system, in the late Warring States period, the Seven Heroes all became a complete war machine, the Battle of Changping, the Zhao State lost 400,000 people, the battle of Qin and Chu, Wang Jian used as many as 600,000 soldiers, at that time, the Zongheng family was calculated according to the population of the capital and a family as a soldier for war potential, this level of mobilization was not reached by later generations. Chinese politics is quite precocious, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, countries have tried all kinds of new things, have competed for talents, Shang Ying is a patriot, in the Wei State learned the written law, and finally in the Qin State to change the law successfully, in order to drag the Qin State, consume the national strength of the Qin State, South Korea sent the engineer Zheng Guo to the Qin State to guide the construction of the Zheng State Canal, which is not worse than Europe in the various power and strategic opportunities. The mountains and rivers are magnificent, and the products are abundant. Yan Huang Shixuan. Don't give up on yourself, don't be complacent. Glory our nation and promote great harmony. It is difficult to start a business, and remember the martyrs. It is not easy to keep it, and it is not in vain to achieve quick success. With one heart and one mind, carry it out throughout. With one heart and one mind, carry it out throughout. It is difficult to start a business, and remember the martyrs. It is not easy to keep it, and it is not in vain to achieve quick success. Don't give up on yourself, don't be complacent. With one heart and one mind, carry it out throughout. Have faith in yourself. Wei Bao replied.

He didn't answer Fan Xiaolin's question directly, but he unconsciously showed his heart.

The three women looked at Wei Bao together, and suddenly felt a new level of things from Wei Bao, they now knew that Wei Bao's heart was so big, originally they only thought that Wei Bao's dream was to make the world business name the entire Ming Dynasty, listening to the meaning of Wei Bao's words, it turned out that Wei Bao wanted to do business all over the world?
