Chapter 14 The Prototype of the Gas Engine

Burst...... Burst...... Burst......

The huge gas locomotive in front of Yuan Yun was shaking so unscrupulously, and a large amount of black smoke was constantly spewing out from the huge rough exhaust pipe, and the wheel belt that Pu Yuan had wasted a lot of effort to build was only a little moved forward, only five or six steps away.

This crude 'tank' made of wood and steel is simply impossible to see, and even with two huge gas engines installed, it still can't guarantee enough power, so the whole body can only move so slowly twice.

Yuan Yun squatted on one side, repeatedly studying the drawings in front of him, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his design drawings, the gas engine drawings obtained from the chip in his brain, after avoiding a large number of impossible parts, still found an alternative way, but the power was greatly reduced.

The gas locomotive moved, and a group of craftsmen led by Ma Jun were also shouting there, gratified by their achievements, but Yuan Yun was full of black lines in his head, what he wanted was not something that could only move twice, but a chariot that could move on its own in the real sense.

"What went wrong?" Yuan Yun asked himself, his eyes staring at the drawings for a moment, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Ma Jun was very excited, he had already come behind Yuan Yun at this moment, and then said with a strange smile: "Lord...... Lord, move ...... Move...... It's really moving, and now I've walked out more than 30 steps, and there are no horses or people pushing me at all. ”

Pu Yuan glanced at the huge gas locomotive in the distance, and immediately pouted and choked: "There is a bird to move so slowly, such a big body, when the legion moves, do you have to stop and wait for this bulky guy?" ”

Ma Jun just wanted to refute two sentences, but Yuan Yun suddenly stood up, and then pointed at Pu Yuan and said, "What did you say?!" ”

Pu Yuan was startled, thinking that his lord was angry, and then he remembered that the drawings of the gas locomotive were also drawn by Yuan Yun, and humiliating the locomotive like this is tantamount to humiliating his own lord, so he couldn't help but immediately snort in his heart, and knelt on the ground with a pop.

Yuan Yun was stunned and wondered: "Pu Yuan, did you take the wrong medicine in the morning?" What are you doing on your knees? ”

Pu Yuan's head was close to the ground, and he replied cautiously: "Lord, the little one is usually used to it, but it turns out that he wants to say something crazy, and he offends you, the lord, the little one should be damned, the little one should be damned......

Yuan Yun kicked Pu Yuan, and if he didn't kick it again, this thing would probably bleed from the brain.

When Pu Yuan was lying on one side, Yuan Yun touched his chin and said: "Hurry up and get up for Lao Tzu, the rules of the workshop are not ready to kneel, you and his grandmother are making Lao Tzu angry." ”

Pu Yuan took a closer look at Yuan Yun and found that it didn't look like he was lying, so his heart suddenly relaxed, he stood up at once, and then carefully arched his hand and said, "Lord, aren't you angry?" ”

Yuan Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Angry with the hair, say what you just said again." ”

Pu Yuanhu glanced at Yuan Yun suspiciously, and then suddenly pointed at Ma Jun angrily and said: "The little one said that this broken thing made by Ma Jun is big and bulky, and it moves so slowly, how can it keep up with the actions of the army, it is impossible for everyone to stop and wait for this bulky gas locomotive on the march, right?" ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth raised slightly, then he glanced at the gas locomotive that was still shaking in the distance, and immediately laughed and said, "It's not big enough, it's not bulky enough, it needs to be bigger, and then bigger, haha." ”

Ma Jun and Pu Yuan glanced at each other, and both thought that the lord Yuan Yun was confused, Ma Jun took a step forward cautiously and said, "Lord...... Lord, ...... again No matter how big it is...... It's not like what you designed, just ...... It's only the size of a truck, is that standard? ”

Yuan Yun replied heartily: "This time Lao Tzu didn't think clearly, of course the technology is developed, of course, it can be made delicate and small, but the technology is not enough, then it can only be made coarse, this is the difference between the American things are exquisite, and the Russian ones are bulky and wild, uh, in short, this 'tank' needs to be improved." ”

After speaking, Yuan Yun immediately took out a charcoal pencil from his sleeve, and then began to smear it on the original design drawing, and after a while, a crude new drawing was drawn, and Ma Jun and Pu Yuan immediately poked their heads out to take a look.

After a long time, I only heard Ma Jun sigh in astonishment, and then pointed to the drawings and said to Yuan Yun suspiciously: "Lord...... Lord, ...... again With the addition of two gas engines, is this car a little too big? ”

Yuan Yun pointed to the gas locomotive in the distance, and then replied: "Two gas engines can only drive so much weight, and the cannon installed on it accounts for the main one, but it also proves that two gas engines can drive it, so we only increase the area of the frame and install two more gas engines, the total weight will not increase much, and the power will be increased." ”

After speaking, Yuan Yun smeared it on the drawing again, and quickly continued: "Four gas engines are still not enough, the frame must be rebuilt, each car is equipped with twelve gas engines, and then four cannons are installed, so that it will definitely be possible, at least twenty miles of movement speed can be guaranteed, and the tank itself will become a small position, even if it stops, it can also become a barrier." ”

When Ma Jun and Pu Yuan heard this, they both opened their mouths wide, they were already sure in their hearts that the lord Yuan Yun was really confused, otherwise they would not have come up with such an exaggerated design, twelve engines, how big does this gas locomotive have to be?

Yuan Yun immediately became in a good mood, and then said to Ma Jun and Pu Yuan: "We built a total of eighteen gas engines before, and now we will assemble twelve of them, this frame is easy to build, but the difficulty is in the transmission shaft, Ma Jun, you have to study it carefully, now that the body has become bigger, things basically have to be redone." ”

Ma Jun immediately snorted, he had never been disgusted with redoing this kind of thing, but felt that the frame built before had a lot to improve, and this was an opportunity.

At this time, several young people who were experimenting with gas locomotives also ran over, and several people knelt down in front of Yuan Yun instantly, but their knees fell to the ground, and they immediately stood up again, and Luoyang's tradition of not kneeling only then remembered it.

Yuan Yun glanced at several young people, all of them were young nephews of the public loser, just like her husband said, these people are not only literate, but also extremely proficient, since they came, Ma Jun is like picking up a treasure, no matter what he does, he will take these people with him.

"What do you ask for?" Yuan Yun thought about it and asked casually.

One of the slightly older ones immediately hugged his fists and said: "Yuan Hou, the younger one is called Gong Yiqian, who has been working in Luoyang these days, and found that this place is really a paradise for craftsmen, so he wants to ask Yuan Hou for a copy of Luoyang's household registration, so as to completely settle down in Luoyang." ”

Yuan Yun was suddenly a little embarrassed, because strictly speaking, the sons and nephews of these public losers are all Diao Chan's people, and he accepted them to become Luoyang's hukou, which is probably very bad, after all, Diao Chan's shipbuilding also needs excellent craftsmen like them.

When he was in distress, the Gong Qian saw Yuan Yun frowning, and immediately continued: "Don't worry about Yuan Hou, the little one has already obtained the consent of the head of the Wang family before asking for household registration, as long as Yuan Hou nods, we can stay in Luoyang." ”

Yuan Yun was suddenly moved in his heart, Senior Sister Diao Chan really considered everything with him Yuan Yun, but he couldn't always take advantage of him so shamelessly, so he nodded and said to the public commander: "There is no problem with household registration, but you must accept dispatch at any time in the future, and when the 'tank' experiment here is successful, you will return to Beihai with the technology of installing gas engines to install the big ship prepared there, and then it will be quite hard to run back and forth." ”

Gong Yiqian hugged his fists again and said: "Yuan Hou rest assured, from Luoyang to Beihai, all the way is a waterway, not hard at all, we just want to bring our family to Luoyang, definitely not want to break away from the Wang family, now my ancestor has been in the Wang family for a lifetime, just looking forward to sharing some blood, so Yuan Hou is relieved." ”

Yuan Yun put down a matter of concern, then pointed to the gas locomotive in the distance, and shouted: "As soon as the spring break is over, make this frame wider and bigger, and then reinstall the gas engine, we will have quite a lot of battles to fight next year, with this thing, Ben Hou is more down-to-earth, as long as you succeed in building the tank Ben Hou said, in the future, if this tank makes military achievements on the battlefield, there will be your share." ”

After speaking, amid the cheers of the crowd, Pu Yuan and Ma Jun escorted Yuan Yun out of the workshop.

When a few people came to the gate, Yuan Yun remembered something again, so he pointed to Ma Jun and said: "Tonight's workshop management dinner, Ma Jun, don't be late, you didn't participate last year, even if you are busy, don't rush to eat this night, don't be absent tonight, otherwise Lao Tzu will send someone to arrest you." ”

Ma Jun smiled awkwardly, and then threw his hand to the ground, just now he was really thinking in his heart, thinking that as soon as Yuan Yun left, he immediately started to build a new chariot, but he was still arrested by Yuan Yun in advance, and he had no choice but to agree.

Pu Yuan buckled the back of his head at this time, and then arched his hand and said, "Lord, what is the lottery that was held at tonight's dinner?" I heard that the highest reward is a house in Xicheng, isn't this too valuable? The newly built community over there is now about to be copied at a sky-high price in Luoyang City, so it will be too luxurious for a craftsman to send a house of 100 square meters? ”

Yuan Yun shook his head, then patted Pu Yuan's shoulder and said: "I told you a long time ago, craftsmen are not inferior to others, you are the most powerful guy in my place, without you, how can our gunpowder army win all battles in the battle array, so a set of housing, as long as you get it, you can enjoy it with peace of mind." ”

Pu Yuan and Ma Jun's eyes immediately showed a burst of emotion, it is estimated that in this world, there is only one place in Luoyang that can treat craftsmen like this, they are neither domestic slaves, nor untouchables who let others insult at will, but a group that is truly respected, over the years, Pu Yuan and Ma Jun feel the deepest about this.

Sent Yuan Yun to sit in the frame, Pu Yuan and Ma Jun both stood in place and watched the frame move away, both of them stood in a proper manner, without a trace of disrespect at all, and maintained that unusual emotion in their eyes.

Now the development of Luoyang is obvious to all, the previous dead silence, but now it is full of infinite vitality, from the pedestrians on the road can feel, here is simply a paradise, everyone has their own responsibilities, their own life.

For this reason, everyone in Luoyang is also willing to desperately protect everything here, and only hope that it can continue, because in this era of chaos in the world, it is rare to be able to be on one side, and everyone knows the hard-won value.

After Yuan Yun sat in the frame, he immediately unfolded a new design drawing in his mind, since the gas engine already exists, then the rules in many workshops will change, and the first thing to replace is to convert manpower into mechanical force, so that some stamping machine tools that rely on water conservancy can finally be completely sublimated.

"Lord, almost all of the north is flat, and when our tanks are built, it will definitely make Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's grandsons unlucky, and the little ones really want to see it now, haha." While Shi Shen was talking by the window, Yuan Yun was sitting in the carriage with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and Qing'er beside him had already handed over a peeled pear.

Yuan Yun almost didn't even raise his hand, took a bite of the pear in Qing'er's hand, and then smiled at Shi Shen outside the window: "Eliminating the Yuan clan in the north is just the beginning, and there are still some annoying flies in the north, and when our tanks are in swarms, we will go to greet their old mother." ”
