Chapter 617: Turning Water into Gas, a Country Boils
"The ladies are all gone, and they are still taking the sunset... One by one, MM
Then the words of the six cars made Li Xian's hairs stand up, and several daughters-in-law went, and also brought the eldest daughter Xixi, who was full of curiosity, to go, is this a project acceptance or a garden? What if something goes wrong!?
Li Xian rushed to Dongguan in a hurry, and as soon as he arrived at the test site of the Dongguan Machinery Bureau, he heard a tidal wave of exclamations.
Why so many people?
Guan Fengsheng, Tian Dayou, He Gui, Lin Yaluo, Zou Chong's father and son, Mi Dezheng, Mi Anping's father and son, and Li Zhuang's old buddies are almost all here.
Wait, why is the old man in Duan Hong's period also there? He was also accompanied by his old friend Chen Yuanlong, as well as Xue Xue and Chen Wance's two apprentices.
Old man Ahn Jinzhi is also there!? Holding a little aunt who didn't know if it was room thirty-four or thirty-five......
When I saw Sanniang, I followed Guan Shi, Xiao Fumei, An Jiuxiu and Zhu Yuyou together, the girls' eyes were round, their mouths were open, and their faces were full of surprise.
Bao Yin and Xi Xi stood on the side, Bao Yin covered her mouth with both hands, and forgot to hold Xi Xi, the four-year-old girl's cheeks were bulging, her little fists were shaking, and she could vaguely hear her little voice shouting: "Come on!" Come on! ”
Li Xian's "holy car" came, but everyone was unaware, they all stared in one direction, and the dull clangs and neighing of horses came from that direction.
Li Shi also looked over, and when he saw it, his eyes were grabbed, and he couldn't pull it out anymore.
A light carriage was parked outside the shed, and the hooves of the two horses were digging hard at the ground, kicking up the dust, but the carriage was slowing down..."backwards, the coachman's whip crackled, but the carriage did not stop in the slightest.
An iron cable stretched out from the back of the carriage, connected to a machine in the shed, and the machine was overflowing with mist, and the flywheel could be vaguely seen whirring, driving a hinge to roll the iron cable back and forth resolutely.
More than two horsepower.... "It really worked...",
At this moment, Li Shi's mind was also wrapped in a deep throbbing, a new era, a new era that can really push China around, the curtain opened in front of his eyes.
No sooner had the ecstasy swelled than the horses neighed violently, followed by the crunch of something breaking, the flywheel came to a sudden stop, and the carriage sprang out of control and slammed diagonally into another shed on the side.
In the rising exclamation, the carriage knocked down the shed, and the steam engine in the rear shed also fell down, and Huang Zhuo's screams echoed around: "Quickly turn off the fire!" Shut down! ”
The onlookers were only about ten feet away from the work shed, and the guards of the Machinery Bureau surrounded them in horror, preparing to evacuate the crowd urgently, but unexpectedly found Li Xi.
Li Xi said calmly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not a high-pressure ......,"
said this in his mouth, but his eyes stared at Sanniang and the others viciously, and the daughters-in-law rolled their eyes back.
In this brief confusion, the little princess had already put her fist to her mouth, and her big eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.
The carriage broke the link between the flywheel and the steam engine, which was a minor accident. Li Shi appeased Huang Zhuo, who felt defeated, and then asked, "What reward do you want!?" ”
Even if Huang Zhuo asked for 10,000 taels of gold, or a duke, Li Shi would nod without hesitation, this is the Tsukidan of the Yinghua country on the road of evolution.
Huang Zhuo said with a look of hope: "I want to continue to study this machine." At present, it is only condensed, consuming too much coal and not producing enough power. If you can make the high-pressure piston type, I am afraid that you can really run on the ground with the car and push the big boat on the water as the official said! ”
I really didn't pursue it...... Forget it, the money and title are up to you. A bounty of 100,000 taels was promised earlier, which must be cashed out immediately.
Li Xi nodded and said, "It's up to you!" But ......"
He pointed to the shed that had been hit by the horse-drawn carriage: "Safety is paramount, not only your safety, but also the safety of the machine." ”
Huang Zhuo also had palpitations: "The official family is right, we haven't stopped the high-pressure piston type "Baidu Qihang Text" research, but the boiler has really had a few problems, fortunately, everyone is vigilant enough, and they have taken precautions in advance, and they have not hurt many people." ”
Guan Fengsheng, Tian Dayou and others surrounded him and praised Huang Zhuo vigorously, Huang Zhuo also humbly attributed the whole team, Li Shi touched his nose on the side, feeling as if he was a superfluous person. …,
"Our manufacturing bureau has been waiting for this machine for too long, the output of the waterbed is unstable, it is weak in summer and winter, and without the master staring, the barrel forging, drilling, and sonorous are not at all uncertain. After winning Luzon, some people in the bureau proposed that the manufacturing bureau be moved to Luzon, where there was enough water. ”
"Now with this machine, the output is stable, regardless of summer and winter, and there is no need to rely on water, the benefits are indescribable......
Guan Fengsheng's face was flushed, and he was even more excited than Li Shi, and Li Shi could understand his father-in-law's mood. Although Foshan Manufacturing Bureau and Dongguan Machinery Bureau have made great progress in recent years, they have also suffered from many restrictions on water power. What changes will the power brought by the steam engine make in machinery manufacturing, the craftsmen of these two manufacturing bureaus have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding than the Britons of Li Xian's previous life, no wonder Guan Fengsheng also came to see the progress of the steam engine.
Tian Dayu said: "Foshan Iron and Steel Company used to rely on water power to blow air, Foshan's waterbed is no longer enough, and now it can finally set up iron yards everywhere." ”
This is inevitable, with the steam engine, there is the age of steel. In Foshan, the manufacturing bureau and the steel mill are crowded together to compete for water resources, which is a big trouble in the country. Now with the steam engine, the country can promote a new industrial layout.
The things in charge of Guan Tian and the others are directly related to the steam engine, and the glass and cement kilns of Zou Yaluo's father and son also need a steam engine to blow air, and even the process of crushing materials and stirring, with a steam engine, it can also improve the scale and efficiency and reduce the cost. It's understandable that these old guys came to the scene, but what are An Jinzhi doing here?
Old man An became richer and richer, and stroked the big belly Nan and said: "There are more and more commercial goods in Nanyang Company, and the wharf is becoming more and more blocked. Even if there is a gantry crane, it still uses manpower and animal power, and a thousand-material ship will be loaded and unloaded, and it will occupy half a day's berth. Listening to Huang Zhuo, this machine is easy to lift thousands of pounds of goods, and it is used on the gantry crane, even if the loading and unloading speed is only reduced to half, it is a lot of silver. "Not to mention thousands of catties, with steam engines, steel is widely used, and the gantry crane at the wharf can at least lift 10,000 catties of goods. With this foundation, the mode of transportation of containers began to be born.
Many changes in the military and the economy were rolling in Li Xian's mind, and when he saw this group of old fellows, political changes also turned suddenly in his mind.
Proletariat...... The working class of the Anglo-Chinese country is finally about to begin to appear, and this is the core force of the future development of the Anglo-Chinese country. From the beginning of his uprising, the "reactionary forces" on all sides have been accusing him of building a country with businessmen, and this country has no foundation. How do they know that businessmen are just the foreshadowing of the founding of the country, the beginning of the Ding Revolution in China, and the real foundation of the founding of the country is industry and workers. The working class, on the other hand, could only emerge in the age of the industrial revolution with the steam engine as the prelude, not in the age of handicrafts.
"Daddy's "Baidu Set Sail without Text", I decided to be what Daddy said...... Inventor! ”
Xi Xi shouted excitedly, a bunch of iron lumps actually dragged the two horses backwards again and again, which left too much impression on the little girl, and actually made her set up ambitions.
Everyone was amused by the little princess's oath, Li Xian rubbed his daughter's head and said dotingly: "Then grow up quickly." ”
This is also said to the steam engine born in the hands of Huang Zhuo's team, which is only a prototype and is still a long way from being widely used. Seeing that the old guys and Mr. An were impatient, Li Xi felt that he didn't need to urge anymore, and the demand from various industries such as steel, machinery and shipping was the biggest driving force.
The successful advent of the steam engine made Li Shi temporarily forget about the troubles of being embattled, until Duan Hongshi's words pulled his mind out of his dream.
"Xue Xue and Chen Wance are both interested in entering the court, see how you arrange it. One more mention for the teacher, Xue Xue is good at going back and forth, Chen Wance is good at planning for a rainy day, both of them are talented, but they both need to experience in the affairs of various ministries. ”
Old man Duan stretched out his hand to ask for officials for the two disciples, this back door Li Shi couldn't help but open, to be honest, he couldn't ask for it. These two people have been by Old Man Duan's side for a long time, and they have a deep understanding of the foundation of national politics, and if they accumulate some government affairs qualifications, they should be able to help Li Shi share a lot of government affairs.
..., Li Xi was a little strange, why did Old Man Duan also come to see the steam engine? Not only did he come to see it, but he also changed his original intention and let the two disciples go out of the mountain to be officials?
Old man Duan said leisurely: "I asked Huang Zhuo for the teacher, and I roughly understand the truth of this machine. This machine ...... It is similar to the current situation of our Yinghua. Only when the water is boiling can there be gas, and the steam engine relies on turning water into gas and pushing things to generate energy. And my country is a country of Yinghua, and its national strength is like water in a furnace, and now it has begun to boil and dissolve, so it has encountered obstacles on all sides. This is not pressure, but the power of my Yinghua is vigorous! ”
"In the early days of Fujian, we should have seen such a clue, Guangdong plus Fujian, there are commercial goods, there is silver, and there are overseas places, and the trend of this country has been rough. Now that the steam engine is available, saving manpower, producing more output, and giving birth to many new industries, the situation in this country will reach a new level. ”
"Yinghua Ding furnace, boiling, how to export this gas and use it in the right place, instead of holding it in the Ding furnace, hurting the Ding furnace itself, this requires you, you need more strength in the court, just like the power of the steam engine. So, you definitely need help, Xue Xue and Chen Rice also have the heart to contribute to this country's new palace. If the teacher expects it to be good, if you live well at this pass, it will be passed through the ages, and if you don't live well, it will be left behind for thousands of years. ”
The old man's words made Li Xian extremely admired, and he actually linked the truth of the steam engine with Yinghua's current embattled ......, this theoretical height, this level of discussion, is really worthy of being a cheap master he picked up.
Duan Hongshi had already finished the "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty", and now he has begun to revise the "History of the Ming Dynasty", to clean up the "History of the Ming Dynasty" during the Kangxi Dynasty, but he is also paying attention to the situation in Yinghua from time to time, and now he is pushing two disciples into the court, and he also sees that the situation is getting to a delicate point, and hopes to make more efforts.
Li Shi was slightly moved by Duan Hongshi's intentions, but the old man said: "This is not for you, the emperor, this country is also a country for teachers, and I want to enjoy another twenty years of happiness and cultivate twenty years of history for the teacher." ”
Li Xian grinned, he didn't know at this time that it was not Old Man Duan who had such a "master mentality" towards Yinghua.
On the east side of the middle gate of Wuya Palace, it is the place where the ministers of the court gather and rest before the imperial gate listens to the political meeting, and it is called the "whole ritual room".
Today is the twelfth day of the first month, close to the Lantern Festival, and in the whole room, a group of courtiers led by Li Zhushou are wearing Zhu Zi court clothes and are waiting for Li Shi to return to the palace. The intention seems to be the same as in previous years, to congratulate the emperor on the Lantern Festival in advance, and then go home to enjoy the joy of the Lantern Festival.
But the atmosphere in the room was a little unusual, there was no festive atmosphere of congratulatory gifts at all, everyone had a straight face, their eyebrows were lowered, and they looked very heavy.
The secretary of the secretary of the central court entered the room and said: "Your Majesty has returned to the palace from Dongguan, and Zhongcheng and the princes can enter the government hall......"
Li Zhushou snorted, straightened the hard wings of the black yarn, shunshun the purple robe, picked up the jade wat, and bowed his hand to Liu Xingchun, Peng Xianzhong, Tang Youzeng, Shi Yizhi, Yang Chongdou and other governors of the three provinces, as well as Qu Chengshuo and other ministers: "Today's matter, Your Majesty will definitely be angry, and I will ask you to stabilize your heart and advance and retreat with me." ”
Everyone bowed back solemnly and said: "Zhongcheng rest assured, today we are one and one heart." ”
The young secretary was stunned, what was this going to do? How do you feel that the ministers are a little bit windy and cold? Do you want to ......
The secretary shuddered, is it trying to force the palace!? How could it be, among these ministers, there are Qingtian faction, there are Qingchen faction, and they have never dealt with each other, Li Zhushou is still a 10,000-year-old pounder, how can he be one and one mind?
He stretched out his hand to greet and ask to understand, the prime ministers had gone far away, and faintly heard Yang Chongdou say: "Lao Li can't do it, my old Yang will go up again!" ”
The secretary took a breath of cool air, pulled his leg and rushed towards the secretary and supervisor, and had to remind the secretary and supervisor Yang Shi that the ministers were going to gather the crowd to make trouble! . )
Leonardo da Vinci pioneered the design of many advanced machines, but he was unable to bring them to life because there were no suitable materials to meet his design requirements
Engineer Lillianfeld patented the transistor in 1929, but it was not until nearly two decades later that it became a commercial product in Bell Labs
In the 70s, China designed the J-9 fighter with Backfire and B1 bombers as combat objects, and the flight indicators reached double 26 (altitude limit of 26 kilometers and speed of Mach 2.6 per hour), but because of the lack of suitable materials and processing technology, it had to stay at the drawing stage
The J-10 and J-20, which represent the highest level of China's aviation science and technology, have been in the sky, but because there are no engine materials that can withstand high temperature and high pressure, they cannot have a Chinese core
This is an era when materials are king
