Chapter 338: The steam engine was successfully developed
"Continue to increase the firepower, everyone be careful, don't get blown up to the ......"
On the test platform, Huang Chengyan commanded his assistants to increase the fire output of the steam engine, the steam was pressurized, and the whole machine began to roar.
Suddenly, a long stream of white water vapor came out of his mouth, and there was a whining sound.
The linkage bearings began to move, followed by the gears......
"Good! Master Huang, it was a success! ”
After a long while, the steam engine stabilized, there was no explosion, and there were no other problems, and the assistant and the students looked at Huang Chengyan and congratulated.
Huang Chengyan wiped the sweat on his forehead with a sweat towel and nodded with relief: "It's a success, we have succeeded, now we can finally have an explanation with that kid from Bokang." ”
The production of the steam engine is not complicated, and it is easy to get out, just talk about the general function and basic operation method.
With his Huang Chengyan's understanding of the way of machinery, it is relatively easy to ponder.
However, the difficulty is how to make this thing stable and not out of problems, and also make it more powerful than simply running.
Therefore, there are a wide range of aspects to be involved, and there will naturally be more experiments.
What's even more difficult is that to get this thing, you need to invent a lot of alternative control equipment.
For example, throttle valves, centrifugal governors, separating condensers, setting insulation layers outside the cylinder, lubricating pistons with oil, planetary gears, etc., are all things that did not exist before, and they were specially invented because of the steam engine.
Of course, the names of these small parts are definitely not called this, but Huang Chengyan himself took them according to the Mojia set, and it naturally doesn't matter what they are called, it's just a synonym.
"Congratulations!"
The steam engine finally succeeded, and it was not only Huang Chengyan and others who were happy, but also Xu Ding.
What the steam engine meant, he couldn't have known.
With this thing, many things can be developed in the future, and many applications can be born.
For example, it can be loaded on the ship, which can increase the speed of the ship several times, and greatly increase the power output of the ship.
Also, after this thing is made, it can be loaded into a train and made into a train to increase the land transportation capacity.
As for the steam engine car, it would be nice to think about it, but it would be unrealistic until you got a rubber tree.
"Huh! When did Berkang come back. ”
Ignoring things outside the window and focusing on research is probably the true portrayal of Huang Chengyan recently.
Xu Ding came back for the second time after leaving the island, and he didn't hear any news at all, and he studied the steam engine every day without sleeping or eating.
Xu Ding couldn't help but take a special look at it, and replied with concern: "I just came back, the war on the peninsula is over, this is just to see you old, don't be too desperate when you are old, you have to take your time to study this thing, it takes time to accumulate, and if you want to do other things after you are tired, you won't have a chance." ”
Huang Chengyan saw Huang Yueying behind Xu Ding, and his mood was even more comfortable, Xu Ding, this kid still has a conscience, and he knows that he will go to Yueying as soon as possible.
So he laughed and said: "It's okay, it's just a gadget, and it comes out when you tinker, you say this thing is very important, so naturally you have to give priority to it, how about it, look at it?" ”
Xu Ding nodded with satisfaction, then approached and observed around the big guy.
It's basically the same as he imagined, anyway, Xu Ding doesn't understand much, he only understands the basic operation principle of the steam engine, and he doesn't understand the rest.
If you want to talk about electric motors and internal combustion engines, you may still be able to say the ugly idea, after all, the steam engine will not be used in later generations, and it is all internal combustion engines and electric motors.
In the future, who has not learned some physical chemistry or anything, who has not played small electromechanical.
"Excellent! However, the noise is still a bit loud, and we will continue to improve it in the future, continue to improve the power output, optimize the structure, and try to miniaturize it to be more stable, safer, and more usable. Xu Ding said a goal indication, and then said to everyone:
"Everyone has worked hard, go down and rest, and write down all your merits, and reward them together at that time."
"Thank you, lord!"
Huang Chengyan's assistants and disciples like it a lot, and only when there is a reward can there be motivation, naturally everyone is happy, they all replied, and then they all went down to rest.
Huang Chengyan left a few people to stare at the steam, let it continue to run, and then also followed Xu Ding and Huang Yueying out of the test platform.
"Bokang, you said that this steam engine is very important, what can it be used for? Can you tell me now? Out of the test platform, Huang Chengyan finally couldn't compete with his inner curiosity.
Huang Yueying was also very curious, since Xu Ding said that this thing was very important, it must be really important.
Xu Dingdao: "This steam engine is a strategic-level product, and there are many aspects of use, first of all, it can replace manpower, assist other mechanical processing, create better quality weapons and save manpower, I believe you have also seen this, and secondly, it can also be loaded on the ship, so that the ship can go faster, so that he can get rid of the shortcomings of wind and manpower, and let the ship go further."
And he could be loaded on a chariot, so that it could walk on the land, like a chariot, and could replace oxen, horses, donkeys, and mules.
Of course, not yet, but we can make two parallel rails of steel, and on a fixed track, I call this thing a train, and a single steam engine can transport goods that hundreds or thousands of people can haul. ”
Can it still be like this?
This brain hole is really big, let the steam engine do the work of people, this is what Huang Chengyan felt after listening.
If it was before, he would have thought it was a bit mysterious, but now he doesn't think so, the steam engine was made by himself, and he knows best how much power it can provide.
And Huang Yueying said secretly, isn't this the train and steamboat that Xu Ding said before?
It turned out that they were powered by a steam engine.
It turns out that these are really achievable.
And what about airplanes?
Huang Yueying was faintly looking forward to it.
"Yueying, what are you staring at Bokang all the time?" Huang Chengyan found that Huang Yueying's eyes were a little wrong when she looked at Xu Ding.
Huang Yueying hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Xu, can the steam engine be equipped with wings and fly?" ”
"Poof!" Huang Chengyan laughed directly when he heard this, my ugly brain hole is bigger than Xu Ding.
The steam engine flew into the sky with wings, and only she dared to think about it.
"Ugh! Theoretically, yes, but not practically. Xu Ding was also stunned by Huang Yueying's question, and then continued to explain:
"You want to see the airplane I told you before, the airplane wants to fly, first of all, it relies on the wings to generate the aerodynamic force of the rise. The greater the power output of the aircraft, the greater the lifting force.
When the lifting force is greater than the weight of the aircraft itself, the aircraft can take off and soar in the air.
Although the power of the steam engine can be large, the power it provides cannot produce enough lifting force to fly off the ground compared to its own weight.
Even if it can fly, it is estimated that it will only be carried down in a short time, so the theory is feasible, but the reality is meaningless. ”
