The explosion at Bowen Academy was just a false alarm, which made Xiao Ming breathe a sigh of relief. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the attempt of smokeless gunpowder still made him see the passion of the students, more than three years of Qingzhou's science and technology has not completely surpassed the West, but with the efforts of these students, he believes that the train will have, the electricity will have, the internal combustion engine will also have, it will not be long before the country of Chongqing will once again stand proudly in the world in science and technology, and become the holy land of all countries to come to the pilgrimage.

After understanding the situation, Xiao Ming explained the establishment of the chemical industry by Lutong, and then took advantage of today's free time to inspect various workshops in Qingzhou.

With the establishment of the steam engine workshop, the steam engine began to be used in more and more machinery, and the drilling machine used the steam engine, the boring machine used the steam engine, and the milling machine and grinding machine also used the steam engine during the attack on Weidi.

Not only is the production of barrels increasing rapidly, but the production of flintlock pistol spare parts is also much faster, because the craftsmen do not need to use the traditional method of manual grinding, but directly use mechanical grinding.

In addition to the military industry being accelerated by the steam engine, the textile industry under Fei Yue'er's charge is now also thriving, and the output and quality of cloth have been greatly improved.

However, this is only part of the role of the steam engine, Lin Wentao is leading the students of the research institute to prepare to use the steam engine in the chemical industry and metallurgical industry.

After all, the steam engine can do linear motion, but also through the crankshaft and flywheel into circular motion, it can be said that the steam engine of this era is a real universal machine, even if many modern industries are still using the steam engine, now his only shortcoming is that the steam engine can only be transported in a small area of Qingzhou, as for other states and counties are now affected by the steam engine is very little.

But everything is difficult at the beginning, and you always have to eat one bite at a time.

When he arrived in the workshop area, Xiao Ming first went to the steel workshop, and now Lin Wentao has installed two steam engines here, and when he arrived, the steam engine was driving the bellows to blow air into the converter.

Underneath the converter is the burning coal, and on the observation table above the converter there is a craftsman supervising the molten steel, and once the molten steel is smelted, the craftsman below pulls the converter and tilts the converter.

At this time, the molten steel in the converter will flow out of the taphole and flow down from the groove on the other side into various molds for molding.

In addition to the use of steam power for the bellows, today's steel workshops also have their own forging hammers, but unlike hydraulic forging hammers, steam powered stable forging hammers are used.

It was under the hammer that some of the largest steel structures took shape.

Satisfied with the reform of the steel mill, Xiao Ming went to the paper mill again, this industry has been made by hand since Xiao Ming was established, so the output of the paper mill has not been high.

Now the steam engine undertakes the most important pulping stage in the papermaking process, which makes the output of papermaking pulp rise suddenly, and now the craftsman only needs to focus on the back of the Internet and pressing work, so that most of the craftsmen are freed to put into the back of the work, and the amount of paper is also turned.

After coming out of the paper mill, Xiao Ming went to the white sugar workshop again, and the pulping stage of papermaking materials is the same, and now the chewing of sugarcane in the white sugar workshop is also handed over to the steam engine.

When the steam engine was combined with other machinery, Xiao Ming naturally did not forget to hand over the structure of the simple machinery such as the crusher to Lin Wentao, which was produced by Lin Wentao and others in the steel workshop under the guidance of craftsmen.

After all, the structure of the crusher is very simple, just a large cylinder with a fan blade turbine in it.

With an understanding of the current pilot experiment of the steam engine, Xiao Ming finally went to Lin Wentao's steam engine workshop, in order to facilitate the access to raw materials, the location of the steam engine workshop is on the side of the workshop area, only a kilometer away from the steel workshop.

When he arrived at the workshop, Lin Wentao was talking to the students in the research room of the workshop.

"Your Highness." Seeing Xiao Ming coming, Lin Wentao saluted, and the students in the research room looked excited.

Nodding, Xiao Ming looked at the picture on the blackboard in the research room and said, "You guys are studying the conveyor belt of the coal mine?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness, the steam engine needs a lot of coal, but there are not many coal mines in Qingzhou, and most of them are deep mines, if the steam engine is used to pump water and transport coal, the output of the mining area will increase a lot, and once the coal mine can be used, other mines can also be used, so that the metallurgical industry in Qingzhou can develop." Lin Wentao said: "His Royal Highness once said that what Qingzhou lacks now is raw materials, and the lower officials want to get out the machinery needed for the mine first." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ming smiled with satisfaction, in three or four years, the progress of these students has been getting bigger and bigger day by day, and his hard work every day to write scientific and technological books has not been in vain after all.

"You really want to think what this king thinks, but this time this king wants to tell you that for example, how about directly separating machinery from steam engines, and letting some students of the research institute be responsible for the research of machinery in various industries?" Xiao Ming said.

In modern mechanics is an independent discipline, the steam engine only provides power, machinery is the purpose of the use of power, and now with the steam engine, Xiao Ming can teach the mechanical knowledge in the science and technology library to Lin Wentao and others.

Lin Wentao thought about it, and now the main work of the research institute has really shifted from steam engines to machinery, and he said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, this is okay, now some machinery is built from scratch, and we need a special group of people to be responsible." ”

Xiao Ming smiled, the books in Bowen College are only a part, it can be said that it is just simple junior high school knowledge plus some high school knowledge, and mechanics is a serious college major.

And in order to prevent technical leaks, he has always singled out important technologies from books and compiled them into a special book for each laboratory and research institute to study separately.

So he said: "It is too much time to start from scratch, this king will give you a mechanical book, you only need to compare the book with the machinery of each industry in the book." ”

Lin Wentao was a little shocked, as he learned more and more about scientific knowledge, he understood more and more that any discipline in the College of Liberal Arts requires a lot of energy from one person to be able to achieve something, and Xiao Ming was downplaying everything, and seemed to have mastered all knowledge very well.

Thinking of this, he admired Xiao Ming more and more, this admiration was not the admiration of a common people for the monarch, but the admiration for a profound person.

After deciding on the matter of mechanical manufacturing, Xiao Ming chatted with the students of the research institute for a while, and then he went to the Qingzhou camp, where he prepared the food and firearms, and the rest of the matter was the army.
