Chapter 161: Experimental Results

This kind of god-like pleasure is so enjoyable that Zhu Shun is immersed in it and can't extricate himself, muttering: "Isn't it true that human beings change the world and conquer the universe by constantly mastering basic physics knowledge. ”

"If one day human beings have enough basic knowledge of physics, they will really be gods."

Wang Zheng didn't listen to Zhu Shun's chatter there, chanting about what gods and not gods, and went to the steam workshop to direct those fitters, and began to build the crankshaft connecting rod system, as well as the gears that drive the machinery.

The crankshaft connecting rod system is mainly divided into three parts, one is the body group, that is, the power source steam engine, which has ready-made parts that do not need to be built.

The second is the crankshaft gear set, which is mainly a gear that can rotate on the bearing, which is relatively simple and can be built quickly.

The third is the connecting rod group, which is a problem that Wang Zheng needs to overcome, and he has tried to build a connecting rod with reciprocating motion to rotary motion in the past.

I never succeeded, I always felt that something was wrong, and now I suddenly understood that there was a lack of an effective power source.

Now that the power source is available and the skilled craftsmen are available, it is only a matter of time before this difficult problem is overcome.

Wang Zheng was responsible for supervising the crankshaft connecting rod system, while Zhu Shun had to find a way to overturn the steam engine and change the up and down reciprocating motion to a forward and backward reciprocating motion.

It is not impossible to use the reciprocating movement up and down, but in this way, it is necessary to build another set of gears and a set of steps, and a lot of mechanical energy will be wasted in the process of steam movement.

Time passed quickly, and during the summer solstice, the crankshaft linkage system was built, and the first generation of steam engines was also transformed.

After another period of time, in the summer season, a water-powered spinning machine was also transformed.

Zhu Shun walked over excitedly, installed a belt on the gear, took twenty steps back, and looked over.

The first generation of steam engines, crankshaft linkage system, Jenny textile machine, the perfect combination of the three.

Wang Zheng shouted again with pride: "Beautiful, really beautiful, the first beauty in the world." ”

Zhu Shun tried his best to restrain his excitement, but he couldn't restrain it, and muttered, "It's really beautiful." ”

The empty inspection site, far away is surrounded by a circle of blue bricks and black tiles, and there is nothing in the middle of the empty place, and now there is a series of new machinery.

Look from right to left.

The small kiln is on the far right of the two, about half a meter high.

The top of the kiln has an egg-shaped container filled with one-fifth of the water, which is used to form steam.

On the left side of the egg-shaped container is a cylindrical piston cylinder, which is like a head connected to the body, and the intake valve is a neck, connecting the two.

On the left side of the piston cylinder is an H-shaped crankshaft linkage system, and the connecting rod on the outside of the H is connected to the gears.

The gears are connected by a belt to the gears next to the Jenny weaving machine, which in turn drives the entire Jenny weaving machine by bearings.

Zhu Shun and Wang Zheng looked from right to left over and over again.

Small kilns, egg containers, piston cylinders, H-shaped crankshaft connecting rods, gears, belts, gears, Jenny looms.

Full of mechanical beauty.

Just when Zhu Shun was about to fill in the coal and ignite the fire, Wang Zheng snatched the shovel and said with a broken mouth: "You know a fart when you are young, when the old man burned the fire, your kid was not born yet." ”

"This kind of work that tests skills is of course done by an experienced old man, in case you break the machinery by a disaster star, see if the old man doesn't kill you."

Fire to test technique? It was the first time that Zhu Shun had heard that as for the disaster star, for the Donglin Party and Jin Shang, he was indeed a disaster star: "Then it will trouble the old man." ”

Wang Zheng glanced at Zhu Shun obliquely, as if to say that you kid knew each other, carefully shoveled the coal, and carefully stuffed it in, with a slight movement like the first cave room.

After Wang Zheng lit the flame, he hurriedly walked back, staring at this series of mechanical systems with bated breath.

As the smoke billowed and white gas spewed, the first generation of steam engines began to reciprocate back and forth.

The crankshaft linkage system is driven, and the gears are driven, and finally the Jenny spinning machine is driven by a belt.

"Click-"

With a dull sound, the rollers of Jenny's spinning machine began to roll!

"It worked!" "It worked!"

Rao was Zhu Shun's unfazed character, and he couldn't help jumping up and cheering like a child, and shook his fist hard.

Not to mention the old man Wang Zheng, he happily began to circle around this series of industrialized systems.

One lap.

Two laps.

Five laps.

When Wang Zheng turned to the tenth lap, he gradually stopped, and the joy on his face slowly disappeared.

Zhu Shun also lost that strong joy, and his eyebrows were twisted.

After half a pillar of incense.

Wang Zheng pondered: "The speed is too slow. ”

Zhu Shun nodded heavily, this series of industrialized systems did not fail, but the efficiency of the first-generation steam engine was too low, reciprocating sixteen times per minute.

This also leads to the speed of the gear is too slow, and the spinning speed of the Jenny spinning machine is also slowed down, which is not as fast as the hand crank.

This makes no sense.

Zhu Shun walked to the side of the first-generation steam engine, sighed and said: "No way, the first-generation steam engine actually uses air pressure to move, not directly uses steam." ”

"As a result, the first generation of steam engines was very inefficient, which was suitable for pumping water, but if it was used to drive machinery, it was too slow."

Zhu Shun patted Wang Zheng on the shoulder, and said that he had already understood a sentence, hoping to alleviate the great disappointment in Wang Zheng's heart: "The emergence of a new technology often requires a lot of failed experience. ”

"Whether it's a successful experience or a failed experience, it's all experience."

"It is precisely because of these failures and continuous improvement that we can finally accumulate a new technology."

"And on the road of technological innovation, we are not just solving one problem, and the next or even more problems appear."

"As long as we solve these problems step by step, we will not only gain something in life, but also eventually accumulate the experience of these failures, break the cocoon into a butterfly, and bring great changes to an era."

Wang Zheng, who shrugged his shoulders, suddenly straightened his waist and said with a broken mouth: "So much." ”

Wang Zheng ignored and forgave people on his lips, but in his heart he had a trace of admiration for this young man.

The person who can admire this national treasure of the Ming Dynasty, except for Zhao Shizhen, who invented the rocket slip, is Zhu Shun.

If Zhu Shun knew Wang Zheng's thoughts, he would definitely laugh, what is the most powerful force in the future, there is no doubt that it is the missile force.

And this rocket slip is the prototype of modern missile installations.

It's a pity that the Qing Dynasty didn't pay attention to it, so that this epoch-making missile device was forgotten in history.

After Wang Zheng finished hurting Zhu Shun, he asked seriously: "Is there a solution?" ”

Zhu Shun knew that he would ask this, and said with a smile: "Of course, I will continue to improve the first generation of steam engines until the second generation of steam engines is invented." ”

"The second-generation steam engine was three times more efficient than the first, that is, forty-eight revolutions per minute."

Wang Zheng's breathing suddenly became very heavy, and he repeated in disbelief: "Forty-eight turns? ”
