167 New modes of transportation
Chongzhen was the eighteenth year of the winter month, and the days passed too quickly, and I couldn't imagine that a year would pass like this again.
After a few months, Li Tianyang came to Bengang again, got off the boat with excitement and walked in the direction of the R&D Institute.
Being able to make Li Tianyang, who is busy with official business, put down everything in his hands and come to Bengang, needless to say, it is natural that the research of the R&D Park has made another breakthrough.
For Chen Cai's R&D Institute, this year's days are not only what they dreamed of, but also painful for them, but they are so painful and happy, consuming their beautiful life in this deeply guarded ground.
The territory of the R&D Institute has once again expanded a large circle, and the exterior wall that Li Tianyang saw last time has now expanded more than five miles outward, making the entire R&D Institute appear more and more huge.
This time, Li Tianyang did not ride a bicycle with great interest, but brought a few fast horses over in Bengang, and kept moving towards the deeper part of the R&D Institute.
On the road, on the right side of the originally wide asphalt road, there was an additional rail line, and they accepted Li Tianyang's suggestion to combine the rails with cement sleepers, which was not much different from the railways that Li Tianyang saw in later generations.
"How long is this railway?"
Li Tianyang rode on the horse and did not forget to ask a person in charge of the R&D Institute next to him who greeted him.
"Five miles!"
The person in charge who greeted Li Tianyang said proudly: "For this railway, we spent nearly 50 tons of steel on it, and the masters of the casting factory worked overtime for more than three months to meet our needs." ”
It is said that it is a railroad track, but in actual use, they used steel at the beginning, and the cost of this section of steel alone can be said to be an astronomical amount.
It can almost be said that this railway, which is only five miles long, was completely smashed out by Hongmen Li Tianyang with real money, and even Yumo, who is now paying more attention to the drama club, also heard some rumors and Hongmen financial directors Erya and Sixi ran to her to complain, and couldn't help but euphemistically persuade Li Tianyang to let him rein in the R&D institute and invest in the ground.
However, Li Tianyang was unmoved, and resolutely met all Chen Cai's requirements, and in less than half a year, there had been a breakthrough.
"Where's the train?"
After Li Tianyang saw the railroad tracks, he was a little itchy about the train that had not yet seen the entity, and asked excitedly.
"At the end of the railroad track in front, waiting for you to run the experiment again when you arrive."
The person in charge replied, and at the same time his eyes were misty, recalling the scene of the previous experiments, until now, he was still very shocked, a tall iron guy than a building, after the smoke and dust came out, it slowly started to move, who said that this is not a scene that only the gods have descended from the earth!
"Drive!!"
Li Tianyang waved the leather whip in his hand and slapped it on the ass of the fast horse under the seat, which suddenly increased the speed of the fast horse by a few points.
The distance of several miles is much faster than riding a bicycle for Li Tianyang, who is riding a fast horse, and Li Tianyang and them finally saw the man-made giant at the end of the distance that is as tall as a city wall and exudes a strong and heavy atmosphere.
This epoch-making locomotive is very different from the train in Li Tianyang's later cognition, the locomotive of later generations is more slender, and the first locomotive of the second stupid cock is a square structure, and the long chimney in the backbone can be found from afar.
For the unsatisfactory of this locomotive, Li Tianyang is mentally prepared, the design of the locomotive in later generations is naturally more scientific, and even Li Tianyang's half-baked knowledge of physics can be compared with the many shortcomings of this locomotive, but this does not prevent Li Tianyang from sincerely admiring the results of Chen Cai's hard work day and night.
Maybe when some people see this, they will think that Hongmen's scientific and technological point is the same as Kaihang, it is really a bit of a leap forward, but how can they know that the time and energy consumed by Hongmen for this steam engine almost ran through Li Tianyang's life.
From the moment he began to consciously guide his peers, he had already taught the physical chemistry knowledge he knew to his peers.
From guiding the partners to discover that the lid of the steamer on the stove was lifted by steam, to discussing why the fruit of Shushan keeps falling to the ground, until now there are still many reasons why there are no answers in the textbooks of Hongmen Bengang School, waiting for the future children to discover.
The development of more precise measuring tools, movable pulley combinations, and gear transmission systems did not contribute to the development of locomotives at this time.
For a steam engine, Chengcai organized a group of more than ten people, and studied for nearly ten years before they could be regarded as having achieved results.
"Hahaha!!"
The moment he got off the horse, Li Tianyang hugged Chen Cai, who was carefully inspecting the first generation of locomotives, to express his admiration for Chen Cai and them, and to ease his throbbing: "You have done it, you have really done it!" ”
Chen Cai silently broke free from Li Tianyang's arms, and said with a not very good-looking face: "Brother-in-law, don't be happy too early, now our locomotive consumes the power of the steam engine just to move, not to mention dragging dozens or hundreds of tons of goods behind the locomotive, as you said." ”
"So what, I believe in your ability, everything has to go step by step, how can there be a good thing in the world that can reach the sky in one step!"
Li Tianyang didn't think so, and there was nothing else in his eyes except for this locomotive, which looked very bulky.
"Sooner or later, you'll be able to improve this technology and make what I say come true!"
"Start, let me take a look!"
Li Tianyang couldn't wait, turned his head and said to Chen Cai.
"Good!"
Chen Cai nodded, and gave a few orders to a staff member behind him, and the staff quickly boarded the locomotive.
At this time, the furnace on the locomotive has already been preheated, the flame is burning vigorously, when the staff boarded the operation room, pulled down the grip, and drove the transmission gear to connect with the steam engine that can already work, the locomotive in the "boom" after a tremor, from stagnation to visible movement with the naked eye, and then to slowly drive, it took almost a stick of incense.
The start-up time is very long, indicating that the kinetic energy conversion of the locomotive is still very flawed, but in Li Tianyang's view, it is undoubtedly a qualified invention, and the next thing to do is to continue to transform and polish the technology of the locomotive, just like the original five-easy plan of the steam engine.
