Chapter 423: Steam Engine Research Begins

The next day, Ding got up to exercise and saw Wu Mei staggering to the academy with the schoolbag made by Yu Niang.

In that way, Ding Yi always felt a feeling of "lying to himself to have a daughter"!

As soon as I sat down to eat, I saw Li Tai running to the restaurant in disheveled clothes.

"Ding Yi, let's go!" Li Tai grabbed Ding Yi and dragged him outside.

“……”

Ding Yiyi: "Eat first, don't be in a hurry at this time!" ”

Li Tai had no choice but to sit down, pick up the peeled egg and stuff it in one bite!

Seeing his anxious appearance, Ding Yi also knew that he was in a hurry to cure the eldest grandson queen.

Last night, Ding Yi had already changed the necessary items, and after dinner, he came to the research institute with Li Taiyi!

The Galaxy Research Institute has long been different from what it used to be, thinking that at the beginning, there were only three or two cats, and there were not even buildings, only a few temporary sheds.

It was in that environment that cross-era machinery such as rotary cultivators appeared in Datang.

Not anymore!

The institute has a laboratory building, a smelting room, and an office building.

There are also several large workshop-style buildings at the back, which are used to study some large objects.

And the craftsmen of the research institute have also increased a lot, including the original ones, some who were transferred from the machinery factory for further study, some who came to study from the Ministry of Industry, and some of whom Xiao Qing collected from the Tang Dynasty this year.

When he came to a large empty workshop, Liu Hu had already gone to inform the people of the research institute.

After a while, those people came to the workshop in groups, and some of the original craftsmen saw Ding Yi and hurriedly organized everyone to line up!

Ding Yi only knew the first few craftsmen in the research institute, and none of the later ones had seen them.

A few simple words, let the old grandson who used to be in the Pegasus Bicycle Factory arrange to participate in the production of rotary tiller harvesters to stay, as well as some craftsmen who went to the academy to teach themselves physics!

These craftsmen are not simple now, although Ding Yi has never been in charge of the research institute, but Li Tai is very attentive to this place.

These craftsmen are now not only literate, but have also more or less discussed physics with the students of the academy, which they use to make machinery.

The laboratory building of the institute is mainly used for the students of the institute to participate in experiments, and the craftsmen are no different.

Leaving these people, he asked Lao Sun to pick a few clever ones to follow him and wait to do another, and everyone else went to do their thing!

The Jenny weaving machine and the Shuttle loom are now in the final stages and will soon be ready for use.

And the wool that was made before is now about to be made into wool!

In this, Li Tai's supervision and the assistance of the students of the academy are indispensable, of course, the previous three hundred students.

Bringing the people left behind into the workshop, Ding Yi took out the drawings of the steam engine, as well as the experimental notes of Dennis Barben, Thomas Sevelly, Robert Fulton, Watt, and Forsari.

"King Yue, these people will be handed over to you! And this steam engine, I want to make it in half a year! If you need any help, just come to me! Liu Hu handed out notes to the craftsmen, while Ding Yi was explaining something to Li Tai.

Li Tai wondered: "What does this steam engine have to do with the treatment of my mother?" ”

"This is not a cure for mothers, this steam engine is a thing that can be widely used to replace manpower and material resources! As for the treatment of the mother, I will take someone to do it! ”

Li Tai looked down at the notes in his hand and replied, "Ding Yi, please!" ”

Looking at Li Tai's sincere appearance, Ding Yi was satisfied, after all, he was still a child, and he was very concerned about his mother's health.

"Don't worry, you can go to the academy to mobilize those three hundred students to participate, I believe that with them, your side will progress faster!" Although the 300 students still need to study, it is much better to participate in this work than to study hard!

"You and I don't need to, the institute can't do without the help of those students!" Li Tai nodded.

patted Li Tai on the shoulder, and Ding Yi left with the few people he had selected before!

Li Tai looked at Ding Yiyuan's back, and thought in his heart, leave it to me here, and leave the affairs of my queen mother to you, I hope you won't let me down!

"Bang Bang!"

Retracting his thoughts, Li Tai looked at the dozens of craftsmen in front of him and said, "This steam engine, Ding Yi needs us to make it within half a year!" Do you have faith? ”

The craftsmen said in unison: Yes!

"Good!"

Li Tai said: "Old Sun, go to the academy and invite those students to come over and let them study together." ”

Although the craftsmen are also literate, they don't know as much as those students, and cooperation is king.

"Next, you should first start to familiarize yourself with the principle of this steam engine, the production process, and strive to make a model within a month!" Li Tai is already familiar with this kind of thing.

After explaining the matter, Li Tai returned to his office and began to study the steam engine!

Steam engine?

Use steam to drive mechanical movement, so as to achieve the role of human or animal power!

Steam?

Li Tai was stunned!

Is that the gas coming out of the kettle?

What force can that thing have to propel the machine?

After reading the principle again, Li Tai finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart.

Organize a few students to come to the laboratory together!

Laboratories now have glass flasks and the like, but this steam engine requires it to be made of steel!

A student came to the laboratory with a kettle, and everyone began this ridiculous experiment!

As absurd as it may be, they have done many similar experiments before.

But this time this is really a breakthrough in their cognition, is the steam in the kettle really so powerful?

The kettle is not big, it is the same size as the teapot, and it is in the canteen of the institute.

"King Yue, this fire is too great!" A student looked at the dim flame of the alcohol lamp and reminded.

"Go to the cafeteria!" Li Tai waved his hand, and the students hula followed Li Tai to the cafeteria!

At this time, the cafeteria was already preparing lunch, and when I saw the vice president running with a group of students, I thought they were hungry.

"Free up a stove!" Li Tai ordered.

The man froze, but was startled by Li Tai's eyes, and hurriedly vacated a stove for them.

The crowd filled the kettle with water, put it on the stove, and began to watch.

The fire in the stove was so big that the water was boiling in a few minutes!

The spout of the pot gushes with water vapor, and the lid of the pot is washed up by the water vapor in the pot, but it can only be flushed up about one centimeter.

"King Yue, it seems useless!" A student's eyes were full of doubts.

Of course, Li Tai also found out, but he just believed that Ding Yi would not mess up, since he could come up with the drawings, it was clear that this thing would definitely be done.

Now, just haven't found a way!

Recalling the production process of the steam engine, Li Taidao said: "Find something to plug the spout!" ”

Suddenly, some students brought rags and plugged the spout!

As soon as I plugged it, I saw the lid of the pot "bang" and was washed away!

“???”

"Cover!" Li Tai ordered.

"Bang!"

Flying again!

"Keep closing!"
