Chapter Eighty-Three: The Primitive Steam Engine
"Young Master Qin," Yu Liyan asked in a strange manner, "Why is your hair so short?" ”
"I used to be a monk."
"Oh, I see. Monk, it's not close to women, it's useless to ask for a man's thing, I don't think it's any different from a eunuch, why don't I cut it for you. Yu Liyan said with a grin.
Qin Mu was almost scared to death.
Are you crazy. A monk is a monk, a eunuch is a eunuch, not only the division of labor is different, but the human body structure is also different, how can it be said that there is no difference?
Is this woman a madman? Could it be that the situation in Daliao has deteriorated to such an extent that it has driven the princess crazy.
No matter how crazy she is, don't be angry with herself. Qin Mu hurriedly said: "Princess, where did you start, there is still a fundamental difference between a monk and a eunuch. I'm not unfeminine, I have a wife. ”
"In that case, tell me about the difference between a monk and a eunuch." Yu Liyan did not give up.
Qin Mu had nothing to say. Needless to say, are you a fool?
"Well, it's not hard for me to be for you, and you don't need to say that you are monks and eunuchs. I just ask you, what does this mud have to do with motorcycles. If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, I'll let you know that a monk is no different from a eunuch. ”
It turned out to be waiting for himself here. Qin Mu suddenly realized.
The situation in front of him is not that Qin Mu suddenly has a childlike heart, singing nursery rhymes and playing with mud, like a kindergarten child. How can he have such idleness.
Qin Mu is really working.
What is the most important thing to make a motorcycle? Engine, don't mention anything without this.
Do you run with a horse? That must not let Yu Liyan swallow himself alive.
The engine has to be done, but Qin Mu can't do it. Not to mention in the Great Song Dynasty, even if he returns to the later generations, Qin Mu will not be able to.
If you can't do it, can you not do it? If Qin Mu didn't do anything, Yu Liyan would immediately let him understand the consequences of being passive and slacking off.
Qin Mu still has to do it. After thinking about it, Qin Mu decided to make a steam engine first.
First, this thing is simpler than the internal combustion engine, and second, he has dealt with Director Jiang many times, all the power is a steam engine, from the principle to the manufacturing, there is a little rational and perceptual understanding.
If you want to make a steam engine, you have to make a boiler first. In these years, there was no seamless steel pipe in the Song Dynasty and Daliao, and to make a cylinder, it needed to be spliced and beaten.
Something that comes out like this can't be used. Qin Mu didn't know how to make the earliest steam engine, he didn't have this need at all, there was a magical cabinet, the steam engine was directly manufactured with the technology of the 21st century, and then brought over, without having to check the most primitive steam engine information.
But he didn't expect that he would accidentally fall into the hands of Yu Liyan and force himself to become Frankenstein. Qin Muzhen didn't have this ability, so he could only think desperately, and finally came up with a feasible solution.
Foundry! Do not forge. He was going to make a cylinder out of mud and pour molten iron into it, so that at least one cylinder could come out.
I don't know if it's feasible or not, but it's certainly not okay to do nothing.
So Qin Mu had no choice but to start playing with mud.
Now it seems that it is no longer possible to just move your hands and not your mouth. Yu Liyan didn't do it. The hand also had to move, and the mouth had to move, Qin Mu decided to move his mouth while moving his hands.
"Princess, this mud is not ordinary mud, it is very useful. I'm going to make a hollow cylinder out of mud, and then I'm going to pour molten iron into it and make an iron bucket to come out. ”
"Isn't this just a clay model?" Yu Liyan thought that Qin Mu was going to do something clever, but it turned out to be just a clay fan. This thing is a craftsman, seeing that Qin Mu was at a loss, and her body and face were covered with mud, she wondered if this person was a liar.
Qin Mu really wants to do such a thing, but his hands-on ability is not too strong, and entertainment activities like playing with mud have never been there since he can remember, and now he is forced to do it, driving ducks to the shelves, and naturally it is not good to do it in a hurry.
This is the south of Zhongjing City, a Liao State Ordnance Institute, all kinds of craftsmen. Yu Liyan immediately ordered someone to find an old craftsman, and made the clay model that Qin Mu wanted in three or five clicks.
On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it. Seeing that the mud was in the hands of the old craftsman as if the keyboard was under his hands, Qin Mu lost confidence in the operation by himself - it was still easy for the keyboard warrior to do. Some things can't be held up, I have never entered a steel mill in my life, let alone made iron with my own hands, but I have a concept that is far beyond this time and space, and I must not expose my shortcomings.
"Princess, that's what it looks like." Qin Mu began to be the shopkeeper, and he didn't do it himself: "I just said that it's not easy to do things here, and there are no tools to take advantage of." I have all the tools at home, or you can let me go back and get the tools back before I do it. ”
"Dreaming!" Yu Liyan shattered Qin Mu's beautiful fantasy in one bite: "What is missing, what to do, don't think about it when you go home." What to do next, hurry up. ”
It seems that not only the powerful people of the Great Song Dynasty will not reason with the common people, but also the Great Liao.
If Yu Liyan wasn't a princess, where did she come from to be so domineering.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Let's do it first.
Qin Mu didn't do things for Yu Liyan, but more importantly, he worked hard for his own career.
The armory of the Liao State is a hodgepodge, and it is not as clear as the Great Song Dynasty. In the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention helmets, armor were made separately, and even the saddles and stirrups belonged to different workshops. It's a lot more chaotic here.
The armory was built on a hill, with several iron-making furnaces built against a cliff at its core. On the periphery, there are armor makers, crossbow arrows, knives, and even farm tools.
The old craftsman has been working here for almost his whole life, and he can understand what Qin Mu wants to do at a glance.
It's just a cast iron bucket, a small meaning. In this time and space, there are three ways to make cast iron objects, the clay method, the iron method, and the lost wax method. Clay Fan is the simplest and lowest method, it is not difficult for the old craftsman at all, and he quickly casts an iron bucket according to Qin Mu's requirements.
With such a thing, the rest is still painted gourd. Boilers, cylinders, pistons, flywheels, crankshaft connecting rods, all were built in turn.
For several days, Qin Mu gave Yu Liyan the knowledge of the steam engine, and at the same time instructed the craftsmen to put these parts together, and finally, a Great Song version of the steam engine appeared in front of Yu Liyan.
Yu Liyan was confused. Is this a motorcycle? It's not the same at all! Could it be that Qin Mu is lying to himself? But everything he said made so much sense. Up to now, the princess of Liao is also half a steam engine expert, at least theoretically.
The little thing that Qin Mu knew had already been taught to Yu Liyan.
Looking at the four different steam engines in front of him, Qin Mu was a little excited. I didn't expect the local industrialization of this time and space to start in Liao.
If this steam engine can run smoothly and the output is considerable, then it will be a huge good news for Qin Mu's goal. This allowed his industrial revolution to begin immediately, based on the time and space, rather than waiting for the equipment of future generations.
As the test began, the heart that Qin Mu was carrying at the beginning finally gradually let go.
This steam engine, the soil is a little dirt, and the slag is a little slag, but it can move! That's enough.
The connecting rod pushed the flywheel, and the steam engine was really competitive, and it didn't embarrass Qin Mu!
"Princess, move, move!" Qin Mu's hard work for many days finally paid off, and even Yu Liyan didn't look so annoying.
"Young Master Qin," Yu Liyan was also a little surprised, although this thing was not a motorcycle, it seemed to be very powerful. It's good to have strength: "With a steam engine, when are you going to give me a motorcycle?" ”
"Don't worry, winter is over, will spring be far away?"
"......" Yu Liyan was stunned, what does this have to do with the season? Do you wait for the spring animals to come into heat before you can make a motorcycle? But it seems that there is some truth in what he said.
Qin Mu didn't think about making a motorcycle for Yu Liyan at all, and he didn't think about what was impossible. However, Qin Mu was ready to add some force value to the Liao State.
According to the history that Qin Mu understands, the Jin State captured Shangjing of the Liao State last year, and the Liao State lost half of the rivers and mountains, and next year, that is, the fourth year of Xuanhe, the Jin State captured the Zhongjing of the Liao State, that is, the place where he is standing now, and it will be under the control of the Jin State next year.
Yu Liyan didn't know at all that the Liao Kingdom, which she was so proud of, basically had only one year left to live.
Qin Mu was ready to give Yu Liyan some life.
For his great goal, Qin Mu has always had two paths in his heart, entangled with each other.
First, the simplest is also necessary, practice hard internal skills, completely ignore the external situation, build a first-class army as soon as possible, and the rest is to sweep.
This road is simple and reliable, and having the cheating artifact of the cabinet is equivalent to playing a huge game and opening a huge hanging, and when the combat power of people is only five, they are already two hundred and five. Nature can sweep the world.
It also takes time to do this, and the capacity of the cabinet is limited. If the cabinet had unlimited capacity, Qin Mu didn't have to think about it at all, and directly chose to push it flat. Because the capacity is limited, that space is negligible compared to the large world.
If you use all the capacity of the cabinet to transport arms, then you will not be able to transport the world's arms for another 100 years, not to mention that you only have 13 years.
This made Qin Mu have to base himself on this time and space, establish heavy industry, and produce everything he needs. It takes too much time and a base in this way.
When the People's Republic of China was founded, it needed at least a five-year plan to build a heavy industry base with assistance. The space of the cabinet is not worth mentioning at all compared to the large amount of assistance from later generations.
Qin Mu needs more time and a stable base area.
At the same time, Qin Mu also has an auxiliary path, which is to try not to change the historical trajectory of the original time and space, and continue to let history move forward according to the inherent steps.
In this way, he can grasp the historical process to the greatest extent and have the least accidents.
This auxiliary road is also very important. Qin Shi Huang unified the world at the age of thirty-nine, but the second ended up, which can be described as a rapid collapse. Although the system of the Qin State has continued, it is undeniable that the Great Qin Empire collapsed.
Qin Mu doesn't care about the collapse, what he cares about is time.
He doesn't have thirty-nine years, only thirteen years, and at this time, he needs to follow the trend. If you simply rely on force to push, then the whole world is your own enemy.
Thousands of people pointed out, and died without a problem. The whole world is your own enemy, how far can you go? Obviously, this road will not work.
He can't be the enemy of the whole world, but he wants everyone in the whole world to follow him willingly. This requires an opportunity. The opportunity is just a few years away.
Jingkang's shame is the greatest shame of the Song Dynasty, but it is also his biggest opportunity.
After the Jin State destroyed the Liao State, it soon began to fight the Song Dynasty, besieging Bianliang twice, and finally captured Song Huizong's father and son and a group of their daughters-in-law.
At the same time, the Jin State also extorted huge wealth, looted the century-old accumulation of Bianliang City, and directly destroyed the Great Song Dynasty, and finally Zhao Gou ran to the south of the Yangtze River to establish the Southern Song Dynasty.
During the Jingkang period, the Song people suffered great suffering, and "angry and rushed to the crown", and the people's hearts were available.
When the time comes, Qin Mu will ascend to the heights and shout, and he will inevitably gather from the followers, "hang the people and cut down the crime", overthrow the Jin State, and then send troops to the south on the grounds of Zhao Gou's incompetence, so that most of China's rivers and mountains will be collected in his own hands.
Then take Fuzhou as the base, go all the way to the west, and the Western Xia will return to Tubo and be included in the territory.
So far, most of Asia has been won.
In any case, it can be regarded as the hope of seeing a unified Eurasia.
Qin Mu has been working hard for this plan, but there is also a core problem in this plan that is difficult to solve. Wujiazhuang is next to Bianliang, and if the Jin State sends troops to besiege Bianliang, it is impossible for Wujiazhuang not to be affected. And Wujiazhuang is Qin Mu's top priority, and it must not be abandoned. Once the Jin soldiers dared to move Wujiazhuang, the Guards Regiment had to tear off their camouflage and show their fangs.
In this way, there is no shame in Jingkang. Without Jing Kang's shame, everyone in the world thinks that the Zhao family should naturally be the emperor, and he is a thief.
It is really difficult to let Bianliang be besieged and Wujiazhuang to be safe and sound. He has never had a good solution.
Qin Mu was now unexpectedly caught by Yu Liyan to the Liao State, and he had a new idea, ready to give the Liao State a little new strength, so that the Liao State could hold on for a while.
Since the original trajectory has a difficult problem to solve, it is a good idea to introduce new variables and see if it can lead to a new turnaround.
"Princess, I'm not going to give you a motorcycle, I'm going to give you a brand new weapon. Package you are satisfied. Qin Mu patted his chest and promised.
"Just this steam engine?" No matter how Yu Liyan thinks about it, this thing doesn't look like a weapon. If you don't open the front, how can you kill people? Besides, where to strike? Is that the wheel?
"Yes, with this steam engine!"
As soon as Qin Mu finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound, and the connecting rod broke into two sections.
