Zhang Guoan Island owner does need endless coal, from the development of the charcoal economy to the coal economy is only one step, but from the development of the coal economy to the oil economy can be difficult. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's not hard to develop oil wells.

The wells and salts in Sichuan are well developed, and the way of drilling wells there is the most advanced and scientific in this time and space, and the thickness of the bowl mouth is not a problem with a depth of several hundred meters, not to mention, they often have to penetrate the rock layer there.

There are shallow oil fields in the Brunei estuary near the Bo Ni country, where the geology is far less complex than in Sichuan, and more importantly, there are many self-injecting wells, and the wonderful thing is that it is all light oil, which can easily distill kerosene and diesel.

If it's just for lighting, it's too early to develop, whale oil is perfectly suitable.

But as a weapon development application, there is still too much to pay.

In fact, the main reason is because of the existence of the Tatar bandit group, and after solving the basic problems of survival in terms of clothing, food, and housing, he must implement the Songun policy, and he cannot focus on the economy or make a breakthrough in weapons research and development.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, must first solve the fundamental problem of military development.

spears, muskets, bows and arrows; There are bed crossbows, stone cannons, and artillery, and he may not be the least successful traverser, but he is the one with the most mixed and matched development.

The reason is simple, he encountered great resistance when he wanted to develop from the prime mover of water and wind power to steam power.

Without a stable motive force, he could not take military processing to the next level, and he did not want his army to fight against the army of the Tatar bandit group in the future.

Zhang Guoan is very aware of the principle of the steam engine, and he also has the structural drawings of the steam engine at various stages of development. However, knowing the principle and structure is one thing, and the materials and machining technology are another.

In order to let Hu Zhenbei, the owner of the island, understand his concept thoroughly, he gradually used a large copper kettle and a steam-to-copper ball to illustrate the power of steam, and at the same time used a steam boiler to illustrate the practical use of steam.

It turned out well, and he and the other craftsmen understood the role of steam too well.

But. They couldn't get past the larger riveted pig iron boilers.

The more steam and the hotter, the better, they understand this, then the boiler needs to get bigger and bigger, and they have to get rid of the casting ----- the result, they can't get rid of it.

Director Hu Zhenbei and other master craftsmen were a little annoyed, the model they made was completely suitable, but after being processed into a solid body, the boiler body they riveted was not leaking. But before it can be added to the high temperature, it leaks everywhere!

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, looked at the large boiler body that leaked steam and was speechless for a while, steam is useful, there was a model of a steam turning ball in the first century AD, but the limitations of materials and machining technology made the steam engine not be practical until nearly 1,600 years later.

The development of science and technology must pay attention to laws, and no one can surpass them. Even if you have a gold finger, you still have to abide by it.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said to everyone: "You can build models to study ------ as entertainment." Let's still cast the furnace head. Look at the capacity that can reach up to a few cubic meters------"

Everyone was a little disappointed, but they noticed the usefulness of the so-called low-pressure boiler, at least when dealing with trash fish, which could be quickly dried and then ground into fishmeal by an air mill. Mixed into the feed, the livestock love to eat, and the fat grows quickly.

In the end, Zhang Guoan's island lord bowed to the law, and he had to take out the vacuum steam engine. It is prepared to be used to lift water, and then it is used to play a role by the impact of water power.

This is a clumsy approach, of course, but it is a way to obtain a stable driving force, independent of the seasons, and to achieve artesian irrigation in local agricultural areas.

The vacuum steam engine designed by Zhang Guoan is to introduce steam into the cylinder and close the valve, and then continuously pour cold water on the cylinder block, so that the steam inside condenses, creating a vacuum, so that the air pressure on the other side of the piston pushes the piston to move, this movement drives an independent water pump by connecting a kowtow rod on the river surface, so as to lift the river water and flow to the large water tower through the raised pipe.

The large water tower is not round, but square, and it is actually a cement pond built on a hillside, with an altitude of six meters above sea level, which can store 20,000 cubic meters of water.

At the bottom of the tower, there are several independent valves that can output torrents down the hillside to provide a stable hydrodynamic force.

Zhang Guoan even did not design a separate condensing cylinder in order to save the number of cylinders!

It's all about simplicity and simplicity.

The efficiency of such vacuum steam engines is extremely limited, estimated to be less than two percent, and their efficiency is limited by external air pressure, cylinder deformation, efficiency of combustion and boiling, and condensation capacity.

But most importantly, they are safer because they have a lower pressure and the machine casing shrinks inwards instead of exploding outwards in the event of material damage.

On the other hand, it has a simple structure, and if it can be built, the apprentices of the craftsmen can repair it.

As for the separation condenser, planetary gear, parallel motion linkage mechanism, centrifugal governor, throttle valve and other equipment, he can only wait for the machining ability of the master craftsmen to further improve, he only needs to be practical now.

The efficiency was low, so he made up for it in quantity, and for a time, more than 20 vacuum steam engines were built in the middle and upper reaches of the Badao River.

Since then, it has become a place of smoke and roar, day and night.

More than two dozen vacuum steam engines worked around the clock, and at night, the fire could be seen in full swing, and the area was not very much illuminated.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, arranged fifty people, three shifts and two downs to take care of their operation.

Fortunately, it does not need to pick the fuel, charcoal, charcoal, hay, twigs and wood chips.

But charcoal is still the best, resistant to burning and trouble-free.

After this was built, it was not finished, and the owner of Zhang Guoan Island immediately asked those craftsmen to find a way to change the direct reciprocating motion of the vacuum steam engine into a circular motion.

In fact, of course, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, knows how to change, just add a crankshaft connecting rod mechanism, but he wants the craftsmen to think about it------ everyone has to think of a way, Hu Zhenbei, the director of the factory, looked at the movement of the vacuum steam engine and blinked his eyes, and said: "If the steam boiler is bigger, this thing can be used to make iron!" ”

This is nonsense!

However, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, encouraged such associations, saying: "Yes, it has many uses, it is now a little calf, and when it grows up, it will be even more useful."

If it can rotate, it can also act as a grinder------ polishing is always more accurate than you can chisel! ”

"Very much!"

On the banks of the Badao River, which is filled with all kinds of burning smells, Hu Zhenbei, the director of the factory, happily agrees with this view.

He is very happy now, his little lady is pregnant, and his child will be the first generation here.

No matter how inefficient the vacuum steam engine is, it is more reliable than water and wind power.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, looked at the blue sky, now, he has not the ability to pollute this environment, but what about the future?

There is no way to do this, he can only still need a lot of fuel, which is the driving force of his development.

A vacuum steam engine can only have two or three horsepower, and the driving force of these tens of horsepower has been invested, which can realize part of the agricultural artesian irrigation, which saves him a lot of manpower.
