Chapter 216: Because of the Steam Engine

When it comes to running a factory, many people will feel funny, how much ability do you have to run a factory at the end of the Ming Dynasty? Li Guo's answer is yes.

If you have the opportunity to travel back to the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is possible to open a factory if you have some professional knowledge. Of course, it can't be as ferocious as the crossing with airplane cannons as in the plots of some novels. But at least it is possible to achieve the initial germination of industry, and even better.

Because, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were already some things that were large-scale and beneficial.

Li Guo had the idea of setting up a factory, but he never dared to mention it, and he himself thought that he couldn't do it! Why bring up something that can't be done? Lose face?

Until one day, Song Yingxing took a few people and brought him something that looked exquisitely made.

Li Guo looked at the things in Song Yingxing's hand, feeling a little familiar, so he asked in a daze, "Yingxing, what is this?" ”

Song Yingxing was stunned: "What is it?" Didn't you ask me to do it? ”

"I||novel an][shu][ba].? When am I going to let you make this thing? Li Guo forgot.

Song Yingxing took out a piece of paper, "Look, isn't this a steam engine?" ”

"Huh?!" Li Guo himself was also taken aback, it was the drawing of the steam engine that Li Guo had drawn, "You made the steam engine?" ”

Song Yingxing nodded proudly.

"Ying Xing, don't tease me, don't let me down too much!" Li Guo didn't believe it at all.

"No, Master Tiger, I, Song Yingxing, have always been rigorous, but this has never been boastful. You see, this is the boiler you said boiled water, this is the pipe that runs through steam. This is in a sealed copper box, and this thing is connected to the rod of the piston inside, and this is the wheel of the rod that is attached! Isn't this what you call a steam engine? But Lord Tiger. I wondered, what's the use of this thing! "Song Yingxing made a lot of effort to cast a steam engine with copper, but he really didn't understand the meaning of the steam engine. Now seeing that Li Guo seems to have forgotten about this, he can't help but rush over.

"Don't worry, can this thing move?" Li Guo still didn't believe it.

Song Yingxing didn't speak angrily, and found coking coal on the spot. Light a fire under that boiler.

"Is there water in the boiler? Don't burn it dry! Li Guo was a little worried.

If you want to say that this capable person has a big temper, Song Yingxing glared at Li Guo fiercely, so you can't believe me?

Li Guo immediately closed his mouth.

Look at this steam engine. Li Guo's heart was full of nervousness, this matter was too big.

As mentioned above, there have been several major revolutions in the history of human development. Thereinto. Improving the steam engine is definitely a very important one.

The improvement of the steam engine heralded the beginning of the industrial revolution!

Li Guo watched intently, but saw that the furnace fire was getting stronger and stronger, and gradually, the steam pipe in the boiler ran into the closed box, pushed the piston inside backwards, and reached the critical point, and there was a small hole above the box. The steam is discharged and the piston comes back. It just keeps moving. And the lever drives the wheels to spin rapidly.

Li Guo hugged Song Yingxing, "Yingxing, what you did is really good, you are amazing." ”

Song Yingxing was so worried that he only scratched his head, "Master Tiger, but I really can't imagine what the use of this thing is except that it feels like a toy?" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, you let me think about it again, and I'll tell you when I'm ready!" Li Guo rubbed his hands happily.

Seeing that Li Guo was so happy, Song Yingxing was puzzled, but he was happy when the tiger master was happy, so Song Yingxing left.

Song Yingxing had just left, and Liu Ru came back from teaching. Now everyone is used to Liu Ruye's appearance.

As soon as Liu Ru entered the room, he saw that the steam engine was still spinning around, and felt very interesting, so he touched it with his hand and looked at it, and said to Li Guo, "Master, you feel sorry for me, know that I am hard, and find me a toy." ”

"What? Toy? Less, it's a steam engine! Sue you, this is the greatest invention we have ever made in the world! Li Guo was ashamed to say that he was really ashamed of Mr. Watt.

Liu Ru pursed her lips and shaved her face with her hands, "Still in this world?" So what world are you? Heavenly? Oh, by the way, isn't our tiger master a white tiger! ”

"Heh, laugh at Lao Tzu, don't you? Today, Lao Tzu is happy, so I will loosen your bones! "Li Guo looks evil.

"Don't, sir! It's not dark yet! ”

Seeing that Liu Ru fell asleep after loosening his bones, Li Guo still didn't feel sleepy.

He observed the steam engine built by Song Yingxing, took out a pen, and continued to draw on the paper.

Because he will continue to improve.

Li Guo is a science student, and he is extremely familiar with Watt, and he is also extremely familiar with the history of the development of the steam engine. Although Li Guo now ordered Song Yingxing to build a Newcomen steam engine with high coal consumption and low efficiency, the steam engine was still not perfect, which was just a casual painting by Li Guo at that time, so Li Guo wanted to perfect this steam engine.

There are many other components in Watt's modified steam engine, such as a split condenser, an insulation layer outside the cylinder, an oil-lubricated piston, planetary gears, a parallel motion linkage, a centrifugal governor, a throttle valve, a pressure gauge, etc., which are very efficient.

Therefore, Li Guo depicts the drawings in more detail, as if depicting his future. Although some parts could not be made for the time being, Li Guo was thinking of alternative ways while drawing.

In this way, Li Guo kept painting all night, and when Liu Ru got up, Li Guo was still painting. He didn't comb his hair, wash his face, or eat, and he didn't even pay attention to Liu Ru's call to him. When Liu Ru came back from teaching at noon, Li Guo was still painting, still ignoring people. I saw Li Guo close his eyes and ponder for a while, and laugh for a while, but Liu Ru was shocked.

Liu Ru hurriedly called the subordinate and asked Li Guo if he had eaten, and the subordinate shook his head and replied that he hadn't even drunk his saliva and had been smirking all morning.

It must be a thing! Liu asked the next person who sent the Raushzi steam engine, and the next person said that it was Song Yingxing. Liu went to find Song Yingxing.

"Brother Song, come with me to take a look, since you sent that steam engine, our tiger master has become abnormal. He doesn't pay attention to anything you tell him, and he can't stop giggling! Liu Ru was a little flustered.

"Huh?! Don't be happy for a while, phlegm obsessed with it. Song Yingxing was taken aback. This is a big deal, if something goes wrong with Li Guo, don't say whether he can be prosperous and rich in the future, the people who follow Li Guo will have to slaughter him first.

Song Yingxing followed Liu Ru to visit Li Guo, and before he could enter Li Guo's house, he heard Li Guo's sound of laughter.

Song Yingxing panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly walked into the house with Liu Ru.

Li Guo saw Song Yingxing and shouted, "Yingxing, you came just in time, I was looking for you!" ”

Song Yingxing puffed and knelt down, "Master, I was wrong, I won't do that thing again." ”

Li Guo was stunned for a moment, and scolded, "Hurry up and roll up for Lao Tzu, who will do it if you don't do it!" Come and take a look at my drawings, this time it is very detailed, this time you not only have to do it well, but also do it quickly! I'll give you a month to fix this thing, or I'll beat your ass! ”

Song Yingxing took the drawings and stood aside with a sad face. (To be continued......)
