After inspecting the heavy industry of the empire, Yan Xueyi and his entourage returned to Siqi Province, but the Royal No. 1 airship did not land in Yuanhe City, but flew more than ten kilometers south and landed in Yongyi City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before the group stepped out of the airship, each of them wore a mask.

Wearing masks has become a unique landscape in the two regions of Yuanhe City and Yongyi City, both of which were industrial cities of the Chinese Empire, and the sky of both cities is gray, which is at the expense of the environment for the development of industry.

The air quality in the two cities is very poor, Yan Xueyi made a mask this kind of thing, and it soon became popular in the two cities, anyway, the mask is not expensive, and the residents in the two cities can afford it, and then I saw that everyone who walked on the streets of the two cities almost all wore masks, and most of the people who did not wear masks were newcomers.

The people wearing masks stepped off the airship, and there were already several carriages waiting near the airship, and everyone entered the carriage one after another, and the carriage headed towards the Xicheng District of Yongyi City.

"Young Master, what fun things are we going to see?" Mu Xue, who was sitting opposite Yan Xueyi, took Yan Xueyi's hand and asked flatteringly.

Sitting next to Yan Xueyi, Chang Yuxin didn't speak, just looked at this scene with a smile, she was already a queen, she became more and more graceful and luxurious, and ordinary people didn't dare to look at Chang Yuxin at all.

Yan Xueyi looked at Mu Xue's cute appearance, unmoved, shook his head and said to Mu Xue: "We'll know when we get there." ”

The roads in Yongyi City are not crowded, and the horse-drawn carriage soon came to a huge factory with the name of the factory hanging above the factory gate: Yongyi Tractor Factory.

Yes, Yan Xueyi's trip is to inspect the tractor factory.

The tractor is a self-propelled power machine used to tow and drive operating machinery to complete various mobile operations, and can also be used as a fixed operating power, which is composed of engine, transmission, walking, steering, hydraulic suspension, power output, electrical instruments, driving control and traction and other systems or devices, which can be widely used in agriculture, industry and special purposes.

Since ancient times, there have been many people who have tried to use mechanical force instead of human and animal power for farming. However, it was not until the 19th century, when Europe entered the age of the steam engine, that the birth of power-based agricultural machinery became possible.

In the thirties of the 19th century, the use of steam vehicles to haul agricultural machinery and implements for field work began to be studied. But the steam engine tractor that could be built at that time (the predecessor of the steam tractor) was like a small locomotive, which would have compacted the soil and made it impossible to cultivate, even if it was not sunk in the field.

In 1851, Faras and Smith in England used the steam engine for the first time to achieve mechanical farming in the field, but at that time their method was to place the steam engine in the field and use a wire rope to pull the ploughshare far away in the field.

Later, with the advancement of steam engine manufacturing technology, a miniaturized steam engine appeared, which was installed on the chassis of the vehicle to drive the wheels to drive, so that it could drive from the ground into the field and directly pull agricultural machinery, which gave birth to the tractor, which was very similar to the early steam engine cars, but with more horsepower and slower speed.

Arabart in France and R. Brown in Illinois, USA C. Palvin invented the first steam-powered tractor in 1856 and 1873 respectively, but the first tractor was bulky and expensive, inconvenient to use, and often required several people to operate, suitable for farming in vast fields, and could not be afforded by ordinary individual farmers.

This year, the Chaddar Engine Company in Chicago, USA, manufactured the world's first agricultural tractor using a gasoline internal combustion engine - the "Baga" tractor, because the internal combustion engine is relatively lightweight, easy to operate, and high work efficiency, its appearance has laid the foundation for the popularization and application of tractors.

The role of the tractor is very many, it can be used in a large number of areas such as agriculture and industry, and more importantly, the steel chariot is changed from the tractor body, the chariot is the king of the land, if the Chinese Empire can create a powerful chariot, the war on the land, the Chinese Empire will be invincible.

The Chinese Empire has the far-sighted existence of Yan Xueyi, and it is natural to develop tractors early.

Think of the northern part of the Chinese Empire, which was vast and sparsely populated, but not many people were willing to emigrate there for the time being, and the empire had to use various benefits to attract ordinary people to emigrate.

If agricultural tractors can be mass-produced, then the huge land in the north can be quickly opened up into farmland, and only a few people can cultivate large areas of farmland.

One of the most important places in the application of tractors in industry is to build roads, tractors can be transformed into bulldozers, rollers and other functional vehicles, dozens of hundreds of coolies may not be as efficient as a tractor.

……

Yan Xueyi did not inform the other party in advance of the matter of inspecting the tractor factory, and even Yan Xueyi and his party came to Yongyi City, and the officials of Yongyi City only knew that the emperor of the empire was coming after seeing the Royal No. 1 airship that landed in Yongyi City, but Yan Xueyi did not notify them in advance, which meant that they did not need to come over to ask for peace, so the officials of Yongyi City Government were not too alarmed and continued to carry out their work.

The technology used in the tractor factories and even some important factories in the empire was relatively important, and in order to prevent the technology from being stolen by outsiders, these factories would be guarded by armed police.

Yan Xueyi and his entourage want to enter the tractor factory, but also to show their identity, a female soldier of the women's battalion walked in front of an armed policeman, the two saluted each other, the female soldier showed her own documents, and then explained the identity of the person to the armed police, after learning the identity of the person, the armed policeman was surprised and was about to close his mouth, he was the first time to see the emperor in real person.

Then Yan Xueyi and his entourage walked into the tractor captain under the reverent gaze of the armed policemen guarding the tractor factory.

As soon as they entered the tractor factory, Yan Xueyi and his party heard a rumbling sound in the distance, Yan Xueyi's mental power was swept away, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he said to everyone: "Let's go quickly, there are good things to see." ”

Hearing Yan Xueyi's words, the group quickened their pace with curious eyes, and following the rumbling sound in the distance, the group bypassed several rows of factories and entered a huge factory area.

The group could clearly see that there was a bunch of people in the distance circling around a "monster" emitting thick black smoke.

This "monster" is made entirely of steel, but it has an ugly appearance with various grooves and protrusions, otherwise it would not be called a monster.

When more black smoke came out of the monster's body, this monster could actually move, and the speed was not enough, and the women couldn't imagine that such a huge steel monster could actually move?

Well, this is the experimental version of the tractor made by the tractor factory.
