After the Eight Great Jin Merchants became the Seven Great Jin Merchants, the weather became colder and colder, and the Jurchens lacked a heavy supply of the Great Jin Merchants this year, and the days of this winter should be even more difficult.

These are the chain reactions of Zhu Shun to get rid of the Jin merchants surnamed Huang, and they are also one of Zhu Shun's purposes, Zhu Shun has no heart to care about how the Jurchens are doing, and is wholeheartedly building a Newcomen steam engine.

The frost season has just passed, and I don't know how time passed so quickly, next year will be the fourth year of Chongzhen.

Zhu Shun gave himself a death order, and he must build the first Newkemen steam engine four years before Chongzhen.

More than a month passed, and on the day of the light snow, the site for the Newcomen steam engine was built, and the shallow pond like a lake was dug up.

Zhu Shun began to assemble and build the Newcomen steam engine, because there was no steam machine tool, the cylinder could not be precision machined, the cylinder could only be built by hand, and the accuracy was difficult to guarantee.

The two cylinders of the Newcomen steam engine were egg-shaped containers made of stainless steel, with a piston propelled by atmospheric pressure inside.

The piston is made of rubber, and the sea ship of the prince of Fuwang has been out to sea a few months ago, and for some reason, it has not come back yet, and the problem of the piston can only be put on hold for now.

Now the most important task is to build the cylinder, and the most important part of the cylinder is the problem of air leakage, as long as the cylinder is not built precisely enough, there will be air leakage problem, and this cylinder is also considered to be scrapped.

Zhu Shun stayed in the workshop, processing the steel cylinder little by little, scrapping six or seven steel cylinders in a row, and finally on the day of the cold season, he created the first precision cylinder without air leakage in the cold wind.

This year's cold season is the first day of December, and there is only one month before Chinese New Year's Eve, and Zhu Shun is pleased to look at this precision cylinder in the craftsman's room, which is the best New Year's gift.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and once you get the hang of it, it will be much easier to build the second cylinder, and it is estimated that you can create a second precision cylinder by scrapping two or three stainless steel cylinders at most.

Who knew that Zhu Shun just scrapped a stainless steel cylinder, and on the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year, he built a second precision cylinder.

Zhu Shun carefully put the second precision cylinder away, and couldn't help but say proudly: "Sure enough, geniuses do everything quickly." ”

After the precision cylinder was built, the next thing was to wait for the prince of Fuwang to send the rubber, Zhu Shun took off the shabby placket on his body, put on a clean purple cloth cotton jacket, locked the craftsman room and walked out of the steam engine construction site.

I've been here for two or three months, and I don't know what's going on at home.

Zhu Shun's little donkey was handed over to the Song family's groom to feed during this time, and the Song family, who established the first weaving factory in modern times, although they were working hard to reduce the price of cotton cloth and increase the monthly income of the spinning women.

The efficiency of the shuttle loom is too high, and one piece of cloth is equal to two pieces of cloth, and it can weave up to 170,000 horses a month.

In the past, the Song family, which was not far from poverty, is now getting better and better, and it is thriving.

moved out of the dilapidated house in the countryside, bought a two-entry house in the capital, and the number of maids, housekeepers, and grooms in the family reached thirty.

Jiangxi hometown because of the archway, is even more amazing, the county, the county, the main book, these local parents and officials, in the construction of the archway, in order to tie the Song family together with the money to repair the ancestral tomb of the Song family.

The old lady Song has always wanted to rebuild the ancestral house, but the local parents didn't say a word, they asked for people to give people, and they wanted land to give land, and they almost didn't build the Song family's ancestral house into a garden.

In order to thank Mr. Zhu Shun, who reversed the fate of the Song family, the Song family specially bought a high-end sedan chair and gave it to Zhu Shun, but Zhu Shun resolutely refused to accept it, and still rode the little donkey given by Chongzhen.

The Song family had no choice, so they specially arranged a horseman to serve Zhu Shun's little donkey, and fed the little donkey according to the forage of Liaodong horses.

Zhu Shun came to the humble Jingshi University Hall, and his second disciple Song Shiyi built a shed on the bank of the Yongding River next to him to study the second-generation loom.

The biggest difficulty of the second generation of looms is being overcome, and the manpower is changed to water power to realize mechanized production.

Zhu Shun walked over and took a look, with the world-class genius of the second disciple Song Shiyi, there was still no progress at all.

Zhu Shun smiled, Song Shiyi, who didn't feel it, was slowing down, you must know that after the invention of the shuttle loom in 1760, it was not until 1785 that Cartwright invented the hydraulic loom.

Twenty-five years were in between.

The textile industry in England was largely mechanized, but it was not until 1800, forty years after the invention of the shuttle loom.

The Ming Dynasty will be destroyed in more than ten years, and Zhu Shun will definitely not be able to wait for forty years.

As long as he can invent the water-powered loom and power loom within ten years and establish a complete modern textile system, Zhu Shun will be satisfied.

Zhu Shun's goal for his second disciple Song Shi was to invent the power loom ten years before Chongzhen.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the textile industry of the Ming Dynasty was basically mechanized.

The biggest shackles of the inventions of the first industrial revolution were in fact all kinds of basic physical knowledge.

The invention of the steam engine was due to Papin's invention of the pressure cooker, which first discovered the physical relationship between atmospheric pressure and heat.

Newcomen also understood the functional relationship between the volume and temperature of steam, which gradually invented the first generation of steam engines that could be used in practical applications, Newcomen steam engines.

With the junior high school physics textbook, the second disciple Song Shiyi is equivalent to stepping on the shoulders of giants, although there is still a long way to go between theory and practice.

However, Zhu Shun believed that with the ingenuity of his second disciple Song Shiyi, he would be able to invent a power loom based on basic physics knowledge in ten years at most.

After watching Song Shiyi's progress, Zhu Shun left the bank of the Yongding River and went to the Jingshi University Hall to see how the eldest disciple Song Shihui was doing.

Zhu Shun just walked to the door of the Beijing Normal University Hall, stunned for a moment, after a few months, the Beijing Normal University Hall has undergone earth-shaking changes.

It's not that what's going on with the Jingshi University Hall, it's still the thatched houses, or the fence yard.

It's just that in the bare wasteland of Beizhili, there are large areas of greenery, and Zhu Shun has made a visual inspection, not to mention that there are five acres of land growing grain.

It's all Song Shihui's baskets of dirt, and the fields that have been transformed.

Look around.

To the east of the hall of Kyoto University, there are endless green wheat seedlings.

The cold wind blows, turning up layers of green waves.

The eldest disciple, Song Shihui, is black and thin.

Squatting under a skinny locust sapling.

Silently smoking dry tobacco.
