Experiment No. 0 with steam gushing.

After several months of research, Zhu Shun finally developed a centrifugal governor.

At this time, he was standing next to the steam engine and testing the operation of the new steam engine.

A vertical axis was modified above the steam engine, which could be used to make the vertical axis move through the movement of steam.

Two metal balls are placed on the vertical axis, painted red with vermilion lacquer, which is more eye-catching.

When the piston of the steam engine begins to reciprocate, the vertical axis also begins to move, and the small red metal balls rise due to centrifugal action.

When there is too much steam in the cylinder, the speed of the vertical shaft increases, and the red metal ball rises even higher, controlling the partial closure of the intake valve.

In this way, less steam enters the cylinder.

When there is too little steam in the cylinder, the speed of the vertical axis slows down, and the red metal ball begins to decline under the action of gravity.

The intake valve opens and more steam enters the cylinder.

The red metal ball is constantly raised and lowered according to the amount of steam in the cylinder, and the amount of steam in the cylinder is adjusted to maintain a stable state.

The centrifugal governor has been successfully developed and can be put into use after testing.

Zhu Shun sat on a blue silk Hunan embroidered sedan chair and prepared to go to the Beiping Machinery Bureau to arrange for craftsmen to transform the steam engines in various parts of Shuntianfu as soon as possible.

Walking past the two tall statues, I came to the door of the hall of Beijing Normal University, but I saw a man like an iron tower, standing in the open space at the door.

The four who retreated from the border of eastern Liaodong were the elite of the elite selected by Zhu Zhongyi of the hundred households.

After all, these four sedan chair drivers do not accept sedan chairs at night, and they are also responsible for the task of guarding Zhu Shun, and Zhu Shun did not treat them badly, and each of them gave a full two taels of silver a month, which is twenty-four taels a year.

At the current market price of potato flour, you can buy 40 stone of grain, which can completely feed 10 people, which was unimaginable in the past.

The four of them have never eaten enough since they were children, and they have been soldiers for more than 30 years.

Today, I was discussing the matter of marrying a wife at the door, and I couldn't even eat in the past, so where could I marry a lady.

Now not only can he earn as much as twenty-four taels of silver every year, but he is also Zhu Bodhisattva's sedan chair man, and the threshold of the family is about to be trampled during this time.

The four Ye Bushu cherished this opportunity, and the moment they saw the tower-like man, they immediately held down the Yanling knife.

Zhu Shun saw that the tower-like man could make the four brave men stay awake at night, so like a great enemy, it seemed that he was not a simple character, and gave a gesture to the sniper team on the sentry tower in the distance.

Zhu Shun walked over and said, "I'm Zhu Shun, what's the matter with you." ”

The tower-like man immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and said angrily: "My name is Xiang Yuanchi." ”

"The cousin of the Song family's grain shop said that the potato flour was made by Engong, and he came to kowtow to Engong today."

The man of the iron tower knelt on the ground, Zhu Shun saw his appearance clearly, and then remembered who he was, the father of the baby who had been saved in the West Tile Factory.

Zhu Shun has saved a lot of people in the past few days, but he is deeply impressed by this tower man, and that is because this person's figure is too burly, and he is at least two meters tall.

Hearing the name Xiang Yuanchi, Zhu Shun changed from being impressed to having the pleasure of recruiting famous generals, he was a famous martial artist.

With this iron tower man, plus four people who don't accept it at night, Zhu Shun still has six rifled pistols pinned to him, and he will no longer be afraid of the revenge of the Donglin Party when he goes out in the future.

As long as the Liaodong Border Army is not dispatched, no one can help Zhu Shun.

As for the dispatch of the Liaodong Border Army?

The Donglin Party did not dare to kill him, the army has always been Chongzhen's taboo, and whoever dares to use the Liaodong Border Army privately is a big crime of beheading.

Zhu Shun couldn't help but ask, "Are you willing to come over and be a nursing home for me." ”

The man of the iron tower stood up, looked down at Zhu Shun, and said with a smile: "I am willing." ”

The tower man agreed, and Zhu Shun was even happier than he had developed a centrifugal governor: "You go to the account office first to receive fifty taels of silver as a settlement fee." ”

"After settling down at home, just wait for me here, and give you two taels of silver every month."

After speaking, Zhu Shun walked into the blue silk Hunan embroidered sedan chair and went to the Beiping Machinery Bureau.

When the man in the tower heard fifty taels and two taels of silver a month, a pair of tiger eyes fell into tears.

With this silver, I can finally let my mother and my wife eat meat, and I can buy a bottle of wine for my dead father.

My son can live well.

The man of the iron tower stretched out his palm, wiped a handful of tears, and walked to the account room of the Beijing Normal University Hall under the leadership of the porter at the door.

The man of the iron tower had only one thought in his heart, if anyone dared to touch Engong, step on his corpse first.

Coming to the door of the Beiping Machinery Bureau, Zhu Shun lifted the curtain and took a look, squatting at the door and looking at the more stewards of the Beiping Machinery Bureau.

This blue silk Hunan embroidered sedan chair, under their eyes, entered the Beiping Machinery Bureau.

The steam workshop and textile workshop of the Beiping Machinery Bureau are on the left and right sides respectively, along a bluestone wide road, until they come to the main hall in front.

Zhu Shou, the owner of the factory, was accounting for some accounts in the side room inside, and when he heard the movement, he glanced out.

Seeing that it was Zhu Shun coming over, holding a purple sand teapot, he walked out leisurely: "Shun'er is here, have you eaten?" ”

Zhu Shun saw that the tables and chairs in the main hall had all been replaced with Huanghuali, and thought that it would be different when the third uncle came, and the shotgun would be changed so quickly.

It doesn't cost a penny.

Zhu Shun sat on the Huanghuali official hat chair and asked with a smile: "Third uncle, how is the income of the Beiping Machinery Bureau." ”

Zhu Shou, the owner of the factory, sat on the Huanghuali official hat chair on the left side, took a sip of the spout, and said with a smile: "Shun'er, don't say it, the Beiping Machinery Bureau really makes money, more money than the spinning factory." ”

"A total of thirty second-generation steam engines have been sold, and Lao Songtou's family has the largest number, selling twenty-seven units, leaving three, one for Lao Lu, and two for the general's family."

"The cost of a steam engine is one hundred and fifty taels, let's sell one for five hundred taels, and the steam engine alone will earn fifteen hundred taels of silver."

"Another 300 spindles of semi-metal spinning machines were sold for 30 taels, and the cost was 30 taels of silver, and we sold 40 taels of silver and made 300 taels."

"There are also some water-powered Zhu's spinning machines, which were sold one hundred and twenty units, and they earned six hundred taels of silver."

"In addition, the silver for building a steam factory, this is also a big head, to build a steam workshop full of various gears, the cost is six hundred taels of silver, we sell one thousand taels, and during this time we built three rooms and earned one thousand two hundred taels of silver."

"All of them add up, and I have made about seventeen thousand two hundred and thirty-two taels and five cents of silver."

Zhu Shun was quite satisfied when he heard this figure, he made more than 12,000 taels by selling various new machinery, and the remaining more than 5,000 taels of silver should be the money earned from selling various accessories.

The daily operation efficiency of these new machines is so high, some parts will inevitably wear out, so it is necessary to customize new parts from the Beiping Machinery Bureau and replace them.

After the appearance of a large-scale steam factory, the money earned from selling accessories was more profitable than selling steam machinery.

Steam machinery is just a hammer deal, but accessories are a long-term business.
