Chapter 338: Invention

After more than a month of preparation, some people have already transported the ore from afar, because these ores are transported by the locals and come from all directions, so people still need to come and select the real ore. Because magnetite contains 72.4% iron, hematite contains 70% iron, limonite contains 62% iron, and iron sulfide contains 46.6% iron, it is gratifying because the local people have livestock as a means of transportation, and basically these ores are mined in the open pit, only the transportation cost, that is to say, they locals feel that they can get silver taels just by transportation at this time, and it is really the easiest and fastest way to make money. As for the mining of coal mines, Wan Qiyang also let the local yamen send people to manage, and Wan Qiyang made a special warning in terms of safety, and there must be relevant protection before going to the mine, because it is mined from an open-pit coal mine, and the deeper it will be, so Wan Qianyang's warning has played a role in safety reminders.

And what Wan Qiyang is doing now is mainly refining iron ore and post-processing the coal mined in the coal mine, because according to the current conditions, it is impossible for him to refine steel, and the best iron extracted is wrought iron, so Wan Qiyang spends more energy on the issue of coal, and must make coal into coke, so it costs a lot of money in this regard. Wan Qiyang plans to preserve all the iron smelted in the form of iron ingots, and then use it to make steel after he has the technology.

However, Wan Qiyang still tried to refine a batch of iron with high strength and toughness, but this refining completely depends on luck, because the content of carbon, nickel and chromium in the iron is completely undetectable, let alone controlled. Therefore, Wan Qiyang experimented with several furnaces in total, and only then did he barely refine a furnace of good quality iron, and after continuous tempering, he had a batch of weapons that satisfied Wan Qiyang, that is, weapons used to equip his own special forces. Then Wan also tried to make a batch of molds, first to make a batch of bearings, and then to prepare to make the world's first generator and the first steam engine. Of course, these finished products have been improved by Wan Qianyang, and the steam engine is mainly improved by several boilers manufactured by Wan Qianyang. The most satisfying thing for him is that he made a hand-cranked charger by himself, so that he doesn't have to worry about the phone running out of power! When Wan Qiyang returned to Chengdu Mansion, it was already the end of April, and he came back with several carriages of equipment, including boilers, water pipes and other daily necessities, all of which were tightly covered.

And along the way, the road repair situation in various places was really accepted, and at the same time, according to the previous orders, they were all honored, and it also made the officials happy and regretful!

When everyone saw two horses pulling a car with two full boxes of goods, they were also surprised, what people could think of was that the horse pulling the cart must be an expensive breed, otherwise how could there be so much power, I don't know that all this is because Wan Qiyang used the bearing to the key parts, and also installed some shock absorption, so it will have such an amazing effect.

All of these Wan Qiyang were made step by step, and no one knew how it was made. Every step of the most critical machine is assembled by Wan Qiyang in his own workshop, and Wan Qiyang seals all the coke produced, and only a small amount of coke is transported to Chengdu Mansion, of course, it is used for his own use, because it is also necessary to maintain contact with the Shu Wangfu, so these items are used as Wan Qianyang's unique weapons, and it is very effective to give gifts.

In the winter of this year, Wan Qiyang easily realized tap water through the man-made river around his house, of course, these were achieved by manpower at first, and then after Wan Qianyang's invention and creation, he connected the water pipes to the bathroom of each attic with pipes, and the sub-high-pressure boiler manufactured by Wan Qianyang was assembled, which was completely able to increase the pressure by several atmospheres. The heating was also successfully connected to each bedroom, which made everyone worship Wan Qiyang as a god, and even Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, knew the news and went to Wan Qiyang's house to beg him to install one.

Of course, the result will definitely not work, Wan Qian** did not take this into account, the key is that the materials are not enough, and he can't install it in the palace, but Wan Qiyang pushed it off with various excuses, anyway, the king of Shu also had nothing to say, and he was finally satisfied, because Wan Qianyang put forward some points from the perspective of feng shui, which made Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, convinced.

In the end, Wan Qiyang used the generator set to the pumping machine, put down the water on the water tower, and used the height difference to convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy, and then drove the pumping machine to pump the water up again to form a cycle. And Wan Qiyang applied the generator he made to the safety protection, that is to say, if there is an emergency and someone forcibly breaks into the Yang Mansion, the switch will be closed to energize the power grid installed by Wan Qiyang to achieve the mode of blocking the enemy. Because of the non-conductive nature of porcelain, Wan Qiyang also specially built a large generator for his own use, of course, these devices are only a few parts in Wan Qiyang's hands, and they have not been assembled, and the ceramic equipment has not been shipped back to Chengdu.

Since there was no glass at this time, Wan Qiyang was not able to make electric lamps now. But with magnets, there is no problem at all to make a horn, of course, there are some other technical problems, these are not the main problems, the key is that it is impossible to manufacture a universal meter to test these parameters, resistance and semiconductors These things need to have a certain foundation to be manufactured, so Wan Qiyang is now more than willing but not enough.

Before, he naively thought that with the advent of generators, he would be able to make a lot of things that could be used. As a result, he also felt powerless, so it was necessary to go to England.

Time flies quickly, Wan Qiyang only spent less than a month in Yangfu, that is, in late May 1627, he brought his custom-made ceramics from Jingdezhen to Chengdu Mansion with the person in charge of Jingdezhen's Zhengyang Chamber of Commerce, which also shows that the situation in Jingdezhen has changed, and the result is of course because Wan Qiyang expected, that is, the foreigner Andy has the opportunity to go home to visit relatives, and the time is also scheduled for the end of June, so Wan Qiyang must now prepare to go to sea, This is a voyage in the true sense of the word, and it will be about two years before I can go home smoothly after going out this time.

Wan Qianyang's going to sea this time is a necessary part of his plan, first of all, Wan Qianyang doesn't want to encounter all kinds of difficulties when his strength is not strong, so as to make it more difficult for him to rise, this is not something he wants to see, why not use it in a quick way? His strength lies in his possession of various advanced concepts and management capabilities, as well as the invention of science and technology is also one of the very favorable conditions for him. During the British Industrial Revolution, all kinds of inventions emerged one after another, and he had hundreds of years of advanced ideas and technologies, and only needed the materials he could use now to make other materials he wanted, so that he could stand on the top of Western science and technology! He even changed his English name to per, of course, the foreigner Andy knew his name Sniper, and the reason why he chose this name Wan Qiyang also wanted to open a company under the name of Edison and pass it on to future generations.

To this end, Wan Qiyang began to prepare everything he needed to go to sea, and at the same time made all kinds of plans for the arrangements before leaving, mainly to give early warning of various events that will happen in history, and put forward solutions, including those for Feng Qingbai and Qiao Zhi, for Zhu Zhengyang, and for Lord Cheng. He also specifically proposed that half of the income in the last two years should be transferred to Chengdu Prefecture, because this side is the biggest business, and the future benefits are immeasurable. This is what Wan Qianyang said to Zhu Zhengyang, of course, Zhu Zhengyang is naturally convinced, but at the same time, he is very curious about what kind of business it is, but he may only know it after Wan Qianyang returns from going to sea. Because of mining, a lot of money is used, so Wan Qiyang must take this step
