[87] Yellow dust everywhere

Xu Jianyin finally arrived at Qingdaokou, as the general office of the Shandong Machinery Bureau, he hoped to be able to see those advanced aircraft who had crossed the ocean to the Qing Dynasty for the first time.

"Brother Xu, you're here, then we can come out." This was Yao Fan's first sentence after meeting Xu Jianyin.

Xu Jianyin, who was wearing a black silk longevity character dark pattern gown, was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he say a little angrily: "Yao, Brother Yao, I haven't seen the machine yet!" Besides, you have to hire all the horses and carts to get on the road. ”

Yao Fan scratched his head and said apologetically: "Brother Xu, don't blame, I'm in a hurry, I recently heard that Japanese warships invaded Korea, a subject country of the Qing Dynasty, and openly measured hydrological data near Ganghwa Island.

Recall that in July, the Japanese forced the Ryukyu king to stop paying tribute to our country. Last year, the Japanese army landed 6 Taiwan, occupied Langqiao, and set up a governor's office in Guishan. Putting the three things together, it can be seen that the Japanese think that I am weak and bulliful in the Qing Dynasty, and I am already sharpening my knives, which is really presumptuous!

I thought that if the bureau could be built as soon as possible, the country would still be stronger after all, even if it was only a little stronger, it would be good. ”

Xu Jianyin was in awe after listening to Yao Fan's words, hugged his fists and said: "Brother Yao's patriotism, his fists can be expressed, since Brother Yao is eager, let's go and see the machine." ”

So Yao Fan led the way and brought Xu Jianyin and Xue Fucheng, the head of the Ji Q Bureau, to a vacant lot on the edge of Yaojiazhuang.

"Brother Yao, all the roads here are paved with Portland cement?"

"Well, my family has a cement factory overseas, and if I can't sell it, I bring it to my own village to pave the way."

Xu Jianyin and Xue Fucheng, the meeting office who came with him, glanced at each other, and was shocked, thinking, "This Portland cement is so expensive that the Qing Dynasty can't make it, so it all depends on buying it from overseas to build forts and important facilities. ”

Yao Fan beckoned the guys to untie the canvas, "Ah, these devices are all there is." ”

Xu Jianyin has been in the Anqing Ordnance Institute and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, although he has seen a lot of machines, but now he has an inferiority complex in his heart, "I have never seen any of these models." ”

Then Yao Fan explained to Xu Jianyin the specific installation process of all the equipment, Xu Jianyin listened carefully, and went up to check the machine in the room, but Xu Jianyin was stunned and stood in front of the back-pressure steam turbine motor for a long time, and finally said: "Brother Yao, you said to buy a steam engine, how is it an assembled machine?" How does this work? I look at the front, middle and back three sections of this machine, and each section is also two thousand catties. ”

"What's wrong? Of course, the whole machine is shipped, and a good steam engine is very complex and precise because the installation process is very complicated and precise, and it is impossible to disassemble it into fine parts. ”

"Xu Jianyin thought about it, he had never seen this thing at all, so how could he install it."

Yao Fan introduced: "The total weight of this unit is 5.3 tons, which has been dismantled into three sections, and will be combined and installed and debugged in Jinan. The middle section is the heaviest, 3.4 tons, but don't worry about it, I have a tow truck, and diesel fuel for the car to burn, so I will naturally help you pull it to Jinan, load it and come back. ”

"But, how do you load the car? When Brother Yao unloaded the ship and loaded the truck and transported it to Zhuangzi, he must have used a wooden beam crane, right? Xu Jianyin didn't know what a tow truck was, but his instinct told him that the hoisting of this thing was a big problem.

Yao Fan originally transported the equipment into Zhuangzi, relying on two tripods made of stout logs to put round wooden beams on top of them, and then using multiple labor-saving pulleys to cooperate, relying on the manpower of more than 30 men to pull the steel cables, and then hoisted it onto a special four-wheeled trailer and transported it to Zhuangzi.

"Yes, after being hoisted with a wooden beam crane and multiple pulley sets, it can be loaded into the car."

"It's hard to do, such a heavy machine, the big wooden cart is pushed all the way to Jinan, I don't know how many wheels will be broken." Xu Jianyin said worriedly.

"I said, I have a tow truck, and the one behind it is not a big wooden car, but a trailer." Yao Fan explained again.

The load of the four-wheeled tractor truck is only one ton, and Yao Fan, who was born in engineering, has long considered this problem, and specially equipped with a tractor card to order ten 5-ton agricultural flat trailers, which can be hung behind the car and pulled by a tractor.

It's just that this kind of dry is more difficult for the tractor, under the rated full power traction, the fuel consumption per hour is 9.7 liters and nearly 1o liters! For safety, the car can not be fast, assuming an hour to drive 2o kilometers, then 100 kilometers take 5 hours, 100 kilometers of fuel consumption is almost 5o liters, compared to the heavy cara 8o tons of fuel consumption of 100 kilometers 2o to 25 liters, the economy is extremely poor.

But the tractor is stuck on his road adaptability. Sacrifice and high fuel consumption, in exchange for high power and traction, can walk out of the road at will in mud and potholes, if it is equipped with tracks and iron sheets, it is equivalent to a tank. Heavy trucks can't stand the loess mud.

1o tractor card from Qingdao to Jinan back and forth, about 4 tons of fuel. Yao Fan was going to load a five-ton trailer behind one of the trailers.

"What is a tow truck, and what is Brother Yao's trailer? Not wooden? Xu Jianyin was curious.

Yao Fan could only take him to see it.

"Ah, this is a tow card."

Xu Jianyin's face suddenly became no different from the naughty boy in Qingdaokou, excitedly turning around the tractor card back and forth, touching this and that stupidly, and finally asked Yao Fan how to transport this thing, Yao Fan had to go up and open a demonstration.

It doesn't matter if it's opened like this, Xu Jianyin was happy sitting on the side, and he had to ask Yao Fan to tell him, what kind of principle is this.

Yao Fanxin said that this was unlucky, so he could only patiently explain to him the principle of the internal combustion engine.

Xu Jianyin would draw inferences and immediately decide that this was a small train without rails.

"Brother Yao! This thing is good! The imperial court is not allowed to build a railway, for fear of disturbing the dragon vein, this thing does not need a railway, as long as there is flat land, it can be done! Best for Daqing. ”

Yao Fan's eyes rolled, thinking that if this could be used to get money, it would be a really good deal. The cars of this year are very rough, a car costs 6 or 7oo dollars, my technology is really good, and there is 51 horsepower that scares me to death this year! To sell, at least tenfold.

But he thought about it again, this thing is too forward, in case it is taken by the powers, it is definitely a great advance in internal combustion engine technology, at least to help the powers sweep away the design problems of the basic configuration of the diesel engine and the suspension of the car body, and countless imitation parts from European and American manufacturers will be born, and finally the cottage will come out with a product with inferior performance, but this is already too terrible! Between the interests and the disadvantages, the trade-off between the two is really not cost-effective.

So Yao Fan shook his head and said: "This thing is very expensive, a car costs 10,000 taels of silver, and the burning oil is still expensive, it all depends on imports from abroad. ”

When Xu Jianyin heard this price, he was taken aback, and said gloomily: "This is simply a car made of silver, where can the Great Qing Kingdom afford it." ”

Yao Fan looked gloomy at him, and comforted: "This thing will be cheaper sooner or later, when the time comes, Brother Xu will buy one and drive it himself." ”

So on the same day, Yao Fan set up a reception banquet, invited Sun Maowen, Wei Guofu, and Liu Ziming to accompany him, and Xu Jianyin and Xue Fucheng had a meal of eating and drinking, and the next day he ordered the guys who had already prepared to start loading, and the goods were hoisted in half a day.

On the day of the release, Sun Maowen, Wei Guofu, and Liu Ziming came to send them off for eighteen years, and they were sent out for more than ten miles, and the sycophants were beaten all the way.
