Chapter 43 Industrial Revolution Proclamation
As a big admirer of all kinds of natural objects, Hood also came to the scene to watch the internal cutting scene of the cylinder.
He hadn't been to the blacksmith for two days, and he didn't expect the site to expand ten times as much as before, and the blacksmith shop was full of deep pit foundations, and the smell of cement filled the air.
Huge waterwheels are also erected on the river, and the water is constantly transported to the top and back to the surface of the river due to the rotation of the water wheel.
"How many waterwheels in the village were built so quickly?"
Hood was a little confused, knowing that this was a large waterwheel, and it would take one to two months for several carpenters in the village to build it together.
"Lord Priest, you are not right, there are carpenters among the slaves brought by Allen, and Allen teaches people very well, basically everyone will build after explaining it, and the next thing is to supervise the division of labor and cooperation of slaves."
John the Carpenter's chin was slightly raised, and there was a deep look of pride on his face.
Hood was choked, and when he got up every day, he saw the slaves working, and every day when he went home to sleep, he saw the slaves working.
Slaves are like tireless labor machines, expending their physical strength to frantically struggle for set performance targets.
It is because of the hard work of thousands of slaves, and the fact that Allen's top-notch teaching ability taught them to optimize their construction plans, that they are able to build at this high speed.
When the priest realized this, it dawned on him that Alan had asked him to go home and reflect on the benefits of freeing the slaves.
Slaves were born of low status, and in the past they were not as efficient as freemen, but now they are different, and slaves can do the work of freemen just as well, or even better.
But the question came again, and Hood muttered, "What if all the slaves in the village are promoted to free people and have no house?" ”
"Priest, have you forgotten the cement, now the blacksmith shop is simply a circle, and in a month or two, half of the people in the village will be able to live in the cement house." John was a little amused and felt that Hood was out of step with the times.
"I forgot about cement, it's good and fast to build a house with that thing, not to mention, Allen's slave promotion mechanism can really be implemented normally."
Hood silently calculated the construction speed of the cement house, and now there are a few slaves engaged in construction are close to 1,000, and a huge team is running around the major construction sites every day.
"It's terrifying, at the current rate of construction, Datie Village can be built into a large town in a few years." Hood couldn't help but sigh.
"yes." John the carpenter also sighed.
In fact, it is far more than that, the two only consider the current population and labor force, and do not take into account the new population in the future.
During the chat between the two, they found that the cylinder of the steam engine was still doing internal cutting, and the cylinder cutting work slowed down, and the piston began to be cut, and the size was corrected on both sides.
Due to the long manufacturing time, some of the slaves continued to return to their original jobs, and Hood left the blacksmith shop to supervise the slaves at other sites, and Windsor stayed behind to continue to observe the manufacture of the steam engine.
After a long while, she heard the great blacksmith Abel say excitedly: "The error between the diameter of the cylinder and the assumption is less than a copper coin." ”
After Abel finished speaking, all the blacksmiths in the audience let out excited shouts.
"Praise be to the God of Forging!"
"We also want to praise the goddess of water, without her power, we would not be able to use the power of the river to cut steel cylinders."
"It's such a wonderful technique, and I really want to try it out......
The slave masses in the distance did not understand the difficulty of the process of small errors, and they also screamed along with them, saying yes loudly.
After all, the village chief is there, and if he doesn't behave better, I'm afraid that they won't have their share in being promoted to free people at that time.
Everyone worked for a long time, from noon until the sun went down, and Allen and others made the first steam engine.
The first steam engine stood on the wooden planks on the shore, the whole body of steel and metal was full of hard beauty, the twilight sun shone into the big iron village, the river sparkled, the steam engine reflected the white light of the sun, so that a group of blacksmiths worshipped as a god.
"This is the molded steam engine, and it's really beautiful."
"Lord Allen, shall we test the power of the steam engine now?"
"It's a little late now, let's test it again tomorrow." Alan shook his head.
When Abel heard this, his happy little tail wagged around, "Can't you turn on the machine now and try it, the coal has been brought." ”
"It's okay, but the effect is not shocking enough to test it here."
Abel and other blacksmiths heard that they could test the machine, and they immediately became excited, and the cat's ears on their heads moved together, "So where is the test the most shocking?" ”
Alan smiled slightly, "Put it in the mine to pull the mine, the effect is the most direct." ”
Maybe everyone just thought it was a machine that boiled water, and it wasn't a big deal, but when they saw that a steam engine could pull a dozen boxes of minecarts, it was shocking.
"But if you want to pull the mine in the cave, you still need some preparation, now burn the furnace and try it to see how it works." Alan waved his big hand, and immediately a slave pulled a cart of coal over.
The slaves, under the command of Allen, put the coal down in the furnace and the fire burned.
"As for the steam engine, I have told you before, in fact, it is a large boiler, boiling water to produce a large amount of high-temperature steam, pushing the piston to do reciprocating motion in the cylinder, and then driving the connecting rod to make the flywheel do circular motion, the huge force generated is stronger than the waterwheel, you can look forward to the application of the steam engine in various fields."
Alan directs and teaches at the same time.
The slaves looked at them idiotically, completely unaware of what they were talking about, except that they felt that this thing was manipulating the power of steam.
And what is steam, steam is air in the eyes of slaves, that is, the force of nature.
This teaching was destined to play the piano to the ox, not only the slaves could not understand it, but even most of the blacksmiths showed confused expressions, only Abel frowned bitterly, stared at the burning furnace, and quickly thought about the working principle of the steam engine.
He participated in the assembly of the steam engine throughout the process, and after Alan explained the principle, he had the corresponding internal structure of the steam engine in his mind, thinking about the power generated by the steam engine.
"Is the power of boiling water really that powerful?"
Able stared at the slowly spinning flywheel, and the only thing he didn't understand was how powerful the boiling water was.
Windsor on the side is already well-informed, but in the face of the cross-century principle of the steam engine, she is still confused and half-understood.
"Boom, boom—"
The boiling water of the steam engine boiler was completely boiled, the air pressure inside the steam engine became stronger and stronger, the work was getting bigger and bigger, and everyone felt the shaking of the earth under their feet.
At this moment, it seemed that they were not facing a steel machine, but an awakened beast.
The steam pipe above the head of the steam engine spewed a large amount of gas, making a piercing whine.
The flywheel went from slow to over-spinning, and then there was a loud roar and a lot of noise.
All the cat-people had heard so much that they had never been exposed to such a violent and high-pitched noise, and their ears couldn't help but suppress it, trying to ignore the roar of the steel behemoth.
It was also at this time that Alan heard a voice that only the player could hear.
"World Bulletin: Far away, the first industrial revolution has begun in the village of player A663!"
