Bi Mingqi heard the instructions of his mentor and thought that the results of his years of research could finally be revealed in front of his mentor.

In a good mood, I walked out of the library and came to a laboratory outside the library, where a high-pressure steam engine was placed according to the drawings.

Bi Mingqi walked to the side of the high-pressure steam engine and took out the snow paper produced by the industrial faction, which recorded the data about the high-pressure steam engine.

Zhu Shun took the snow paper, looked at it carefully, and looked at the data of the high-pressure steam engine.

Cylinder diameter: 311mm

Piston stroke: 560mm

Average pressure: 4kg/c㎡

Maximum power: 50hp

Zhu Shun finished reading the data in his hand, carefully folded the paper and put it in his arms, and looked at the real thing of this high-pressure steam engine.

Zhu Shun first looked from below, there was a cast iron base at the bottom of the high-pressure steam engine, and the cylinder with the steam jacket was located on it.

Whether it is the cast iron base or the cylinder of the high-pressure steam engine, it is obviously much larger than in the past.

In particular, the steam cylinder with a steam jacket has been expanded to 311mm, which greatly increases the stroke of the piston.

Zhu Shun took a few steps forward to observe the structure of the high-pressure steam engine at close range, and the chute was no longer separated, but was cast into one with the base, and holes were drilled.

The crank pin is connected to a suspended crankshaft plate, the outer end of which is supported by a separate bearing.

There are two eccentric-driven main spool valves and expansion valves on the crankshaft, and the regulator automatically adjusts the degree of expansion according to the load of the high-pressure steam engine.

Zhu Shun spent more than an hour before and after, constantly comparing the data, and then looking at the actual high-pressure steam engine according to the data. while

He saw that the sixth disciple Bi Mingqi replaced the slide valve with a drop valve, and he determined one thing, an extremely exciting thing.

The high-pressure steam engine was officially studied.

The sixth disciple Bi Mingqi saw that his master nodded, his clenched fist immediately loosened, and said with a smile: "Master, the cylinder diameter of this high-pressure steam engine can only be regarded as the first generation. ”

"If we want to increase the horsepower of the high-pressure steam engine, we can continue to expand the diameter of the cylinders to achieve the horsepower we want."

"When the diameter of the cylinder reaches 1000mm, the power output of the steam engine can reach nearly 200 horsepower."

Zhu Shun heard a 200-horsepower and patted the shoulder of the sixth disciple Bi Mingqi heavily, which was far beyond his expectations.

Originally, I thought that it would be good for the high-pressure steam engine to reach ten times that of the ordinary steam engine, but I heard the sixth disciple Bi Mingqi say that it was nearly 200 horsepower, which was more than ten times.

Zhu Shun patted the sixth disciple Bi Mingjue on the shoulder, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Sixth, it seems that the industrial marquis who is the teacher is going to give it to you." ”

The sixth disciple Bi Mingqi heard a joke from his teacher, although he knew that his master had some true feelings in it, he still bowed down and stood beside him in fear.

Zhu Shun saw that the sixth disciple was scared like this, and signaled him not to be too restrained: "What the teacher said is true, and you shouldn't look down on yourself too much." ”

"With the high-pressure steam engine, it not only indicates that our industrial revolution has entered the middle stage, but also a full-range capacity upgrade for the existing industrial system."

"With this high-pressure steam engine, all kinds of steam machinery in the textile system can increase production efficiency faster, including the arms production of the Daming Arms Company and the production of new machinery of the Beiping Machinery General Bureau."

"All of this will be due to the invention of the high-pressure steam engine, and there will be an overall industrial upgrade."

Why did the sixth disciple Bi Ming try not to understand this, as long as there is a high-pressure steam engine, not only can the past industry be upgraded.

Some of the industries that are being studied in the future can also be put into practice, such as steam trains and steam engine ships.

The students of the Beijing Normal University Hall of the School of Mechanical Engineering have studied many plans for the steam train, but the plan can only be a plan after all, because there is no physical object.

As long as there is a real thing, it can be practiced according to the invented steam train, and the various shortcomings of the steam train can be truly recognized and improved.

This is not only the case with steam trains, but also with the steam engine factories that have been studied by the Beiyang Naval Academy, but there is a lack of a high-pressure steam engine.

As long as there is a high-pressure steam engine, the Beiyang Naval Master School can let the pile of scrap iron that has been floating on the surface of the water sail out of the dry dock.

Daming's water transportation has also had an epoch-making change.

The sixth disciple Bi Mingqi knew that his master was praising him sincerely, so he was not panicked, and showed a smile in the face of a dragon and a phoenix: "Master, let's go have two drinks?" ”

Zhu Shun couldn't help but laugh when he heard the six disciples actually say a word to the two of them: "You, a scholar who has never drunk, why did you suddenly remember to drink today." ”

The sixth disciple, Bi Mingjue, pointed to the high-pressure steam engine in the laboratory, made another very indecent action, and patted his belly.

Of course, this action is very indecent to other scholars, but in Zhu Shun's eyes, his sixth disciple Bi Mingqi is still so magnanimous.

The six disciples had already said it, and Zhu Shun couldn't refute his face, nodded and smiled: "Okay, call a few of your senior brothers and junior brothers to go to your second uncle's apricot orchard together." ”

"Tonight, a few of our masters and apprentices will be there without getting drunk and not returning."

"Celebrating the middle of the Industrial Revolution."

After Zhu Shun explained a few words to the sixth disciple Bi Mingqi here, he immediately walked out of the hall of Beijing Normal University, rode a fast horse and rushed to the Beiping Machinery General Bureau with the guards such as the iron tower man.

The matter of Tianjin is more urgent, and the next step is to let the General Administration of Beiping Machinery make every effort to build ten high-pressure steam engines, so that many factory owners will have to give up their orders.

No one in the entire industrial faction has so much ability, no one has so much face, and no one dares to offend all the industrial and commercial owners.

After all, for every day of production delayed, the factory owners don't know how much silver they have to lose.

Now only Zhu Shun can say this, and he is the only one who can make all the factory owners willingly accept the suspension of steam machinery parts.

When he came to the General Bureau of Beiping Machinery, he found the chief engineer Chen Tianqu as soon as possible, and deliberately avoided the second uncle.

Zhu Shun gave the order to Chen Tianqu, and without saying a word, he immediately summoned all the engineers in the Beiping Machinery General Bureau and explained the most important task at present.

This incident soon caused a big storm in the industrial faction, and all the factory owners rushed to the Beiping Machinery General Bureau in a hurry, but when they heard this, Zhu Shun personally confessed.

When the factory owners came, their faces were serious, and when they left, they all went back happily.
