Chapter 274: The Concept of the Steam Engine

Zhao Xu's words directly made Xu Liang fall into contemplation, a device that does not need the power of wind and water, Xu Liang didn't even dare to think about it before, and today, Zhao Xu's sudden proposal made Xu Liang, who is also a research maniac, enter a new research direction, but he still has no clue at all

"Your Majesty, if you do not rely on the power of manpower, animal power, wind power and water power to propel the waterwheel and windmill into motion, please forgive your Majesty for being stupid, the minister really can't think of what kind of equipment this is, and if there is, the minister is willing to fight with his life to develop this kind of equipment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 After listening to Zhao Xu's words, the chief officer of the Ordnance Department walked out of the squad and bowed to Zhao Xu.

In fact, the public naturally asked Zhao Xu to ask questions not to rob Xu Liang's words, but because all the swords and armor of the current Ordnance Division, and the production lines of weapons and equipment are all manufactured with standardized mechanical unified standards with waterwheels or windmills, and even the private economy such as forging and smelting, machinery and textiles rely on the current machinery and equipment driven by windmills or waterwheels for efficient production, so Zhao Xu's words In addition to the Ministry of Industry and the Ordnance Division, even the Ministry of Household is extremely interested in the equipment proposed by Zhao Xu. And Zhao Xu said this kind of equipment, in fact, is the steam engine, the steam engine is not an internal combustion engine, its working principle is relatively simple, which is relatively simple for Zhao Xu, who was born as a mechanical engineer in the previous life, is still relatively simple, to put it bluntly, this steam engine is actually the chemical energy of water is converted into the internal energy of air, and then the internal energy of the air is converted into the mechanical energy of the cylinder, so the steam engine is actually the water in the cylinder is boiled through rapid heating, and the air in the cylinder expands sharply due to the boiling of water. Thus pushing the piston in the cylinder to move, the piston drives the external axle to rotate at high speed, which originally belonged to the mechanical movement that uses wind and water power to convert the energy provided by the steam engine, and as for the energy problem, it is better to say, during the Song Dynasty, China already had the technology of using coal for smelting, and coke appeared in the various workshops of the Song Empire after the coal was used.

Looking at the light bursting out in the eyes of all the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ordnance Department, Zhao Xu did not stipulate the time for them to make it, because although the principle of the steam engine is simple, the various parts are not so easy to manufacture, especially the water tank used for water storage, the cylinder for piston activity, and the steam valve used to connect the water tank and the cylinder, for the Ordnance Department and the Ministry of Industry at this time, It's quite a challenge

After a brief explanation, Zhao Xu continued to Gongchuan Nature and Xu Liang: "Since this kind of machine uses the steam formed by the high temperature heating of water as the driving force, I call it a steam engine, as long as the coal can be continuously supplied, our steam engine will also continue to work, at that time, we will combine the current wind energy and water energy, our Great Song Empire will have unlimited production power." I look forward to that day. ā€

Zhao Xu, whose soul comes from the 21st century, naturally knows the meaning of the phrase that science and technology are the primary productive forces, so he constantly accelerates the development of society and promotes the innovation of scientific and technological forces, so that the productive forces can develop forward at an efficient and accelerating speed

"Little Bean." After getting off the court, Zhao Xu returned to his imperial study, and said to Xiaodouzi while asking Gong E, who was waiting, to change the court clothes for herself.

"Long live the lord, the slave is here." Xiaodouzi was in a good mood when he saw Zhao Xu, so his own mood was also gray and beautiful, so Xiaodouzi, who was already in his thirties, put his wrinkled face and smiled like a big chrysanthemum in full bloom next to Zhao Xu and replied

"Get ready, let's go to all levels of colleges in the afternoon, and at the same time see how Lao Tzu's group of sons and daughters are doing." Zhao Xu said with a smile

As soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, Xiaodouzi immediately slapped a proper sycophant lightly and said: "Long live Lord, this still needs to be seen, with such an excellent father as you as an example, the performance of the princes and princesses will definitely not be wrong." ā€

Although Zhao Xu doesn't like his subordinates to be sycophants to him, as the father of the children, Zhao Xu is still very useful for Xiaodouzi's sycophant, the reason is very simple, which parents don't like to hear others praise their children, even if Xiaodouzi's words are obviously sycophants, Zhao Xu still accepted it with a smile as a father

In the afternoon, the campus seemed to be much quieter, because all the children went back to their dormitories to take a lunch break after lunch, which was Zhao Xu's clear order to the Ministry of Rites, because the noon break can make the afternoon work more efficient.

"Ah~~~~" Zhao Xu yawned loudly, took Xiaodouzi, Wu Song, Morey and Zhang Tu, under the leadership of Zheng Junyan, in this quiet afternoon, came to the Imperial Mongolian Academy. In the two or three years after Zhao Xu ordered the formal reform of medical care and education, the Great Song Dynasty had built colleges at all levels in the entire Gyeonggi area, and the colleges at all levels in Bianliang, Tokyo, of the Great Song Empire, were the first to be built and put into use.

"Your Majesty, at this time, it is noon, the children are resting, and they still need two sticks of incense to get up." Zheng Junyan yawned when he saw Zhao Xu, thinking that his emperor felt that this place was boring, so he vaguely proposed to Zhao Xu that he could go somewhere else.

And Zhao Xu didn't answer Zheng Junyan's words, and yawned again and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a seat that once said: If you don't sleep at noon, you will collapse in the afternoon, and the ancients will not deceive me." ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Time flies quickly, the time of the two incense sticks passed quickly, Zhao Xu, who was standing in the corner, happily drove the children who got up like wild dogs off the leash and rushed out of their bedrooms, came to the playground with many toys, and started afternoon activities.

Zhao Xu didn't expect children of this age to learn any advanced knowledge, but he hoped that these children would not be like flowers in a greenhouse, they would not know anything, because the learning of the Mongolian Academy is all free, so what kind of family environment exists in the children who study here, all their children study here, play here, understand each other's friends' lives, and let them gradually dilute the class concept in life in their subconscious.
