Chapter 255: The Steam Engine Comes Out

After sending Yan Shigu away, Feng Daiwen summoned Li Chunfeng and Qingyun to come over to study the ancient books, but fortunately, there was a translation of Yan Shigu, which didn't seem too troublesome.

There are also original drawings on the bamboo slips, which is not troublesome for production, and Yan Shigu Research has prepared a full set of materials for them, including various data on straights and carriages.

The scientific research institute is full of talents, and it is easy to restore the carriage and the straight, and the straight road has been used now.

But the carriage is interesting, it is not the most two-wheeled carriage, but four-wheeled, six-wheeled.

After experiments, discussions, and finally summed up, this is why the straight road was built, and the reason for the unified track, the four-wheeled vehicle is not easy to turn, so the straight road is needed, but the four-wheeled vehicle can transport more materials, and transport all parts of the country through the straight road, which is convenient for the imperial court to govern the local area and conquer the border passes.

In the end, it was found that although it could not travel 1,500 miles a day, it was relatively limited in use, and the requirements for the road surface were too high, and the road surface needed to be smooth and strong, and there were not too many curves, but the transportation capacity was really good.

Fortunately, it provides them with a lot of ideas, and now there are many cement roads, and four-wheeled carriages can be used, after all, four-wheeled vehicles are more labor-saving and more shipped.

…………

Feng Daiwen has been staying in the scientific research institute for a month, at first he wanted to hide for two days to recuperate and then go back, and then he indulged in making steam engines.

Eucommia is a kind of medicinal material, not only has a large number of wild, because the establishment of Shuofang Medical College proposed artificial cultivation of medicinal materials, with the help of Taoism, the imperial court has contributed funds, has been established in the Tang Dynasty eight large medicinal material bases, and Eucommia ulmoides was established in the Qinling Mountains, which is also because there are more wild Eucommia ulmoides in the Qinling Mountains, suitable for growth, and easy to collect seeds for cultivation.

Now that he has discovered its new use, he naturally wants to increase his cultivation efforts, of course, these don't need Feng Daiwen to worry about it, and if he orders it, someone will naturally handle it.

Take the leaves, fruits, and branches of Eucommia ulmoides, crush them with a stone mill, and then soak them with alkali, and finally get glue after boiling, which has good elasticity, and unlike fish gelatin, it will be deformed when the temperature is a little higher.

Eucommia ulmoides glue was successfully made, and it was made into a mat according to Feng Daiwen's requirements, and placed at each interface, and the sealing effect was very good.

The latest steam engine was just made, made entirely of the finest steel, forged many times, and shaped by the most skilled blacksmiths.

Especially the gears inside, not only steel, but also thousands of tempered steel, is made of steel after thousands of tempering, very hard, toughness, ordinary steel knives can not cut at all.

Each part of this machine has been tested separately many times, and the size distribution of the gears is more reasonable, and the steam pushes the pistons and drives the gears.

"Woo! Woo......" The steam passed through the upper nozzle, making a loud noise, closed the exhaust valve, and after a short wait, the piston began to move slowly.

Hang the gear, the piston drove and began to rotate, the speed is getting faster and faster, and then the stone mill is hung up, and the stone mill begins to rotate under the drive of the gear.

Seeing the stone mill turning, Qingshi took out a bag of wheat that he didn't know where to find it, and kept filling it into the stone mill, and then the white wheat flour was ground out.

After another pillar of incense, the bag of wheat in Qingyun's hand had already been grinded, and everyone watched the machine run silently, and the rumbling sound seemed so pleasant at this time.

The little Taoist priest who added coal next to him worked extra hard, adding some in every once in a while, keeping an eye on the fire to prevent it from getting smaller.

"Cheng, Cheng, success! Ha ha! It worked! Li Chunfeng walked around the machine twice, found no air leakage, jumped up and shouted with a frenzied look.

"Hahahaha! Ha ha! Everyone laughed wildly, this is the result of everyone's hard work for a month, dozens of discussions, and sleeping in turns.

The machine ran for a whole hour without any problems, and it can be said that it was a real success.

"Let it run all the time, if after an hour there are no problems stopping to check." Feng Daiwen said loudly to Qingshi.

"Understood! Master Hou, I will keep an eye on it. Qingshi was also very excited, staring intently, and replied loudly to Feng Daiwen without looking back.

Then Feng Daiwen beckoned Li Chunfeng and Qingyun out of the main hall, found a clean place to sit down and said: "Now that the first one has been successfully made, observe for two days, if there is no problem, start making the second one, increase the steam and piston, it should be able to increase its power." ”

"Hou Ye is reasonable, Xia Guan thinks the same, if you want to have a lot of power, you can only increase the steam, increase the piston, and adjust the gears in more situations." Li Chunfeng's excitement had not passed, and he did not stop smiling, and nodded fiercely and replied.

"We also have to find a way to control the amount of steam and adjust the power, and if it works, the next step is practicality. Think about it, if you use it to strike iron, is it faster and more powerful than people.

I am trying to find a way to install it on the ship, and I can go fast without sails, whether it is downstream or against the current. Feng Daiwen commanded.

"Yes, for ships, it can travel day and night, and it doesn't need too many sailors." Qingyun nodded in agreement.

"It's so useful, think about how long it takes to make the steel form, and it takes a lot of force, if you use a machine to make force, isn't it much more convenient.

It must be very powerful and smooth to use it to drive the machine, so it is completely possible to use it to make many styles of machines, which requires you to study.

How to make it more delicate and more dynamic, these need to be constantly tried, for the production, I can only provide a direction, the specific depends on you. Feng Daiwen thought of the various machines in the future, so he couldn't wait to make them immediately, but he really didn't understand, so he could only say to Li Chunfeng with a comparison.

Li Chunfeng and Qingyun, as the direct creators, naturally thought of a lot of ideas, and listening to Feng Daiwen's reminder, it was like a collapse of ideas, and more flashes kept appearing in my mind.

And the power of the steam engine is obvious to all, thinking that the world will change because of himself, he trembled with excitement, picked up the tea, and drank a few sips, which calmed down a little.

Pliers wash and planer! This is the most widely used machine in mechanized industry, and it is also the most widely used, Feng Daiwen does not understand things that are too high-tech, but when he built antique weapons, he had small machines at home, and he had used them countless times, so he was naturally impressed.

I found a pen and paper, drew it according to the appearance in my memory, and noted some of their uses next to it, as for the internal production, Li Chunfeng naturally needs to study it, but the power has been solved, these mechanical problems are not a problem, just some transmission, it is difficult for them.
