Chapter 304: Steam Engine
They were also privately transferred away as they wished, and were arranged to work in the iron mine, Yao Ran has not been to the iron mine for a long time, but looking at the report from the report, there have been two or three accidents over there in the past five or six months, some people have been stoned to death, and some people have died in fights. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It seems that it is really not peaceful over there. Especially after the slaves on this side of the Great Snow Mountain have gone. There may be more contradictions, but Yao Ran dealt with those reports at the time
The reply given was: Try not to have deaths, but when inevitable situations occur, it doesn't matter if there are sacrifices, the most important thing is to maintain stability, note: there can be one death quota per month.
This death quota is a big accommodation, responsible for the iron ore collection work is an assistant promoted by Wei Jin, and after getting the support of the patriarch, the management has been drastically strengthened, and in the recent period, the number of iron ore produced has doubled, of course, it has something to do with the hundred slaves on this side of the Snow Mountain, and it also has a huge relationship with the strictness of management.
Therefore, if someone really disobeys discipline in the blast furnace camp, he will be sent directly to the iron mine, and the managers on both sides will be slightly ventilated, and the transferred people will not have any good fruit to eat.
Of course, Yao Ran would not advocate this, if Yao Ran was allowed to manage, he would definitely be able to make the best use of his talents and materials, but Yao Ran was not a computer, so it was impossible for him to manage so much work, and even the people here in the blast furnace camp, Yao Ran could not be all-encompassing, and all of them were managed in an orderly manner.
When he once gave a lecture to his apprentices, Yao Ran said, "Don't work hard, if you want to take care of everyone under you, a manager, and be able to manage the seven people around you, it's okay, consider their feelings, take care of their needs, and only in this way can you get the reward of your heart." ”
The reward of being a manager is, of course, the achievement you need, such as doubling the supply of an iron ore mine. This made Yao Ran very satisfied. Announcements of rewards and personal bonuses were posted directly in the family.
At that time, when the announcement was issued, there was a wave of rectification in the entire Yao clan, Yao Ran was in Canglong City at that time, and he planned to return to Yao Zhai to check the results of the reform in various places, but who would have thought that the blast furnace camp was attacked.
Immediately followed by the attack on the Great Snow Mountain, followed by the construction of the Great Snow Mountain, and now there is a huge temptation in front of Yao Ran, that is, the steam engine not far away.
Not far from the steam engine is the precision machining center, where there are drilling machines, lathes, grinding machines, planers. In order to stabilize the equipment and produce the parts accurately, these large tools are fixed to the ground by riveted solid iron legs with iron plates. When using the device, it is necessary to use a small bowl with a horizontal line to measure whether it is level before starting to use it.
The precision parts here are actually not very precise, just some simple processing at the elementary level, but even if it is these simple processing, it has been able to make the steam engine and external combustion engine steam cylinder equipment, Yao Ran is also very satisfied.
Like any other shed, this is where work is done. Workers use equipment with helmets and leather gloves on their hands. Because cloth gloves are not yet fully popular, and they are not as thick as that.
Some prototypes similar to bearings are clamped by fixtures on the lathe, and after looking at the standard size, the turning tools are advanced to the corresponding scale, and then the apprentice begins to shake the rocker of the equipment, and through the transmission of the machine, the turning tool begins to work on the surface of the part. For a moment, the sparks were shining, and the noise was wrinkled.
Walking in the entire blast furnace camp is like walking into a small industrial park, if there are still a large number of brick kilns, and the deep pit of the charcoal kiln cave is in the distance, here Yao Ran will think that he has reached the era of the first industrial revolution.
Speaking of caves, it has to be said that the ceramic cave that Xiaoping is responsible for is still busy by dozens of people on the edge of a cave, because someone has placed an order for a large number of tiles to repair those bathrooms.
There are dozens of people on the surface, just doing the final work of making these clay clay porcelain clay and other things into the desired shape, and then using dipping or brushing on the outside of these blanks, the entire fitting is evenly brushed and glazed, and finally a firing is carried out. It has become a variety of ceramic products, and now it seems that the most used is such things as ceramic tiles.
I've seen all these things, but it's actually not a look, because Yao Ran drove the retina system and these things were swept away, and he took these things too seriously, and paid more attention to the steam engine in front of him, and the steam engine was on the ground of a wooden shed at this moment, and there were some messy creations everywhere on the ground, as well as obviously twisted pipes or parts.
For the mold, in the case of no improvement, many pipes are directly connected together by riveting, and the rubber on the two ears on the joints of the two butt pipes is made, and it can be seen that Yao Huo is trying to use the rubber to increase the air tightness.
The whole set of steam engine is mainly composed of a large boiler, Yao Huo made this boiler more like a large teapot, and a huge cylinder, mounted on a cast iron base, the cylinder is followed by a piston, the piston exposed end is connected to the crank connecting rod mechanism, there is also a slide valve to drive the steam distribution mechanism, the flywheel is finally on the entire bearing rod, the cylinder and the base are stationary parts.
The inner part of the cylinder is divided into two parts, because the whole two cylinders are made of two pieces of cast iron, one of which is the cooling effect of the slide valve, and the other part is the atmospheric cylinder that plays the role of the main force of transmission.
In a steam boiler, water is boiled into steam through the combustion process. Through the pipes, the steam is sent to the cylinder. The valve controls the time when the steam arrives at the cylinder, enters the slide valve chamber through the main steam valve and the throttle valve, and is controlled by the slide valve to alternately enter the left or right side of the cylinder to push the piston to move.
Because of the retina system, Yao Ran can clearly see the piston inside, this steam engine belongs to the vertical steam engine, which is Yao Ran's mistake, but the whole way of working, if it can be realized, it proves that both the air tightness and the power transmission can meet the requirements. In that case, it is nothing more than making some structural changes to make a steam locomotive.
In addition, such a vertical steam engine can be used on the river transport boat, so that the ship can be freed from human towing and go upstream. This will be of great help to the coal mining and transportation work in the Daxue Mountains.
The steam pushes the piston inside the cylinder to do work, and the cooled steam is introduced into the condenser through the pipe to re-condense into water. This process is repeated constantly while the steam engine is in motion. In this constant repetition, the power of physics can be used by Yao Ran and them wherever human beings repeat their work.
For example, frying steel, such as textile machines, such as the air supply system during ironmaking, and now the air supply system still runs in water. Although it is very stable, it does not represent the highest technology of the Yao clan after all.
Yao Ran looked at the machine in front of him, patted Yao Huo on the shoulder and said, It's done well, it means that we can achieve it in terms of materials and fuel.
