029 Steam engine

As soon as An Yiyu and An Fu got into Ankang's car, they looked east and west curiously.

Ankang's car is not the same as An Yiyu's car.

This carriage, which was wrapped in copper, was casually stripped off by a beast of copper, and a suite in the eighteenth-tier city was gone.

An Yiyu and An Fu couldn't help but sit in this car.

Soon, Anfu was attracted by a long brass tube in front of his seat.

"Big brother, what is this?" An Fu cautiously touched the brass pipe and asked.

Ankang replied, "Lookout glasses." You look at this tube. ”

It's a lookout that looks like the one on tanks and submarines. People sitting in the car can see the scene outside the car through the copper pipe on the roof of the car.

An Fu leaned his eyes over to take a look, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Even An Yiyu looked at it curiously.

They really couldn't imagine how Ankang could have such a wonderful idea.

How could there be such a whimsy? Copy the homework.

This telescope is actually very simple to make, but it took a little effort to make the mirror with a good reflective effect. Ankang did not use the bronze mirror commonly used in this era, but used two transparent gemstones to stick on the black cotton cloth.

Anyway, this mirror is not used for makeup, and you don't have to see it so clearly.

Compared with the lookout scope, the other devices in the car, An Yiyu and An Fu, are even more incomprehensible.

It's weird to understand. In this day and age, it is impossible for anyone to understand this device.

Because this device is a treasure that started the industrial revolution and changed the map of the world - the steam engine.

In the past two days, the most time spent on health is to modify this carriage. And the most energy is spent on this steam engine.

The reason why the steam engine was needed was because if the horse pulling the cart would be the first to die in the face of the attack of the beasts after going up to Gushan. As soon as the horse dies, the immovable carriage becomes an ornament.

You can't get out of the car and push the tank, can you?

However, although the steam engine was the first plan that An Kang thought of to power the carriage, he immediately rejected it.

Because building a steam engine is not comparable to building a lookout glass. It's a lot more complicated than that.

Although Ankang had done experiments with steam engines in junior high school physics class, he had long forgotten about it. Where can I make it in a moment and a half?

However, just as An Kang was frowning about the power of the carriage, a long-lost voice suddenly came out of his head: "If you don't understand, you ask me." ”

"Ask whom?" An Kang subconsciously asked in his mind.

At this time, I saw a task interface appear in front of Ankang's eyes-

【Mission】Build a steam engine

【Reward】Gain 5 Force points

"System, do you know how to build a steam engine?" An Kang asked.

"I know not only how to build steam engines, but also airplanes."

This modified system seems to be not only a system for Force cultivation, but also a research and development system.

Ankang suddenly brightened. If you want to use the strength of ancient science and technology to deal with the invasion of alien civilizations, Ankang is really not sure.

The scientific and technological achievements that seem logical in contemporary times also need to be studied after thousands of years. Throw an electric frost at the ancients, and the ancients didn't understand what it was until they died.

But what if the system could be developed for all the technology systems?

Isn't that a proper cheat artifact?

"I said system. Airplanes are not needed now. I am afraid that thing will not be made in ten or eight years. Without that effort, all that was needed now was a simple, moving, primitive steam engine. Tell me how to make it? ”

As soon as An Kang's words fell, an animation appeared in his head. This is very similar to the animation of the mechanical principles that Ankang saw in physics class before.

What's even better is that Ankang can rotate the angle of view of the animation in his mind, and he can also zoom in and out.

This steam engine is really Taiyuan ecology!

That's great!

What you want is this kind of raw effect. All materials can be made of wood, copper, and stone.

Anyway, Dad has already let go, and if he wants to use copper, it is not enough for him to find someone to borrow.

Ankang is also very fortunate to live in an era when bronze craftsmanship is very developed.

There are many coppersmiths in the city, and the industrial chain of making copperware is very complete. There is no need to think about how to mine, how to smelt, how to forge, how to polish, everything can be purchased and assembled.

The coppersmiths are also very efficient.

This ensured that a never-before-seen steam engine could be built in just two days.

The structure of the steam engine is actually very simple.

When Ankang used to take physics classes, he thought: Why haven't humans been able to invent such a simple thing for thousands of years?

The forces of nature, such as water and wind, have been used by humans thousands of years ago. However, the power of steam was not harnessed until hundreds of years ago.

In fact, there are two key things in the steam engine, one is the sliding valve and the other is the crank connecting rod.

The sliding valve is an important part of turning a "one-way steam engine" into a "two-way steam engine". It can greatly improve the working efficiency of the steam engine.

The crank link is the part that keeps the wheel rolling forward. Without this thing, the wheels would go forward and backward for a while, and it would be impossible to keep the car moving in one direction.

Both things are widgets, but they are the two most important widgets.

That's exactly what Ankang doesn't remember.

Now with the guidance of this animation, all the technical difficulties are solved.

So Ankang found a piece of cloth and drew the drawings of each part with a brush, and took it out for the coppersmith to process.

After the steam engine is manufactured, two raw materials are needed to make it work properly, one is water and the other is fire.

The problem of fire is easy to solve. Ankang's own Force skill is fire.

Then there's the issue of water. Originally, the steam engine was supposed to have a device for recovering the steam after condensing into water, but Ankang had no time to do it, so he had to let the steam go out through the exhaust pipe on the roof of the carriage in vain.

Ankang added a pipe above the large water tank under the carriage. Where there is a water source, use this pipe to draw water and replenish it to the water tank.

In short, Ankang is a complete reference to the working principle of the car. The large water tank under the carriage is equivalent to the fuel tank of the car.

When everything was done, Ankang got into the carriage. Stretch out your finger and cast a flame to burn a large copper kettle.

When the water in the copper kettle boiled and developed a "gurgling" sound, Ankang also heard the prompt in his head that the task was completed-

"Congratulations to the host for completing the quest and earning 5 Force."

At the same time, the carriage began to move slowly forward......

……

"Does this carriage really walk on its own?" An Yiyu and An Fu looked incredulous after An Kang briefly explained the purpose of this device.

"yes. You'll know when you get to Gushan. ”

However, before he could go to Gushan, Ankang let the curious Anfu experience another device.

In order to prevent the steam engine from malfunctioning and being afraid that he would not be able to find a water source temporarily, Ankang also installed a manpower-powered device on the carriage. The reference is to the most primitive bicycle of the nineteenth century, with a large wheel in the front and a small wheel in the back.

Thus, in front of the carriage there was also a huge wheel, which was attached to the pedals in the carriage by a transmission.

Anfu stepped on the pedal, and the carriage squeaked forward.

It's very slow.

Slow speed is not too much of a problem.

Ankang originally did not plan to convert this ancient carriage into a performance car with 800 horsepower, a top speed of 320 kilometers per hour, a 0-100 kilometers acceleration time of less than 5 seconds, and a drifting car.

After all, it's Gushan that I'm going to go to now, not Mt. Akina.

As long as the carriage can move forward.

Ankang completely modified this carriage according to the idea of one person single-handedly taking on the beasts of Gushan City.

His martial arts are all used for melee combat, so An Kang can only use fire skills to carry out long-range attacks on the premise of absolutely ensuring his own safety.

Animals are afraid of fire.

This is one of the reasons why Ankang has confidence in himself.

However, casting skills consumes the Force, especially the kind of group killing skills that consume more Force. So it's important to have a safe refuge and recuperate through meditation.

The seats on this larger-than-life car are removable. When the chair is removed, there is an area for sleeping or meditating.

The other half of the compartment is filled with water and food.

Just as Anfu was experiencing the nineteenth-century bicycle pulling the tank, a family member shouted to Ankang outside the car window:

"Young master, there are robbers!"

I'll go! Another robbery?

Sure enough, the wealth is not exposed.

Such a large piece of copper walking on the road is no different from a stack of banknotes walking on the road.

Dozens of more people appeared in the woods.

Well? Ankang seems to think that there is something strange in this.

If this group of people is not in the same group as the previous group, where is it so coincidental that dozens of people are organized to run to the road to rob?

If this group is in the same group as the previous group, knowing that it will not be Anfu's opponent, why bother to send it to death?

An Kang whispered a few words to An Fu. An Fu nodded, picked up two large fans and rushed out of the carriage.

Not long after, Anfu threw a thief into the carriage.

Ankang restrained the man and asked sharply, "Who sent you?" ”

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Don't say anything about death!" ”

Ankang took a piece of sewing and said to him, "I won't kill you." I just need your two eyeballs. ”

As he spoke, he made a gesture to prick him in the eye.

The man screamed in fright.

"Speak quickly!" An Kang snapped.

"We weren't sent by Lord Ho!"

"Get out!" Ankang kicked the man out of the carriage.

What do you mean that you didn't send it from Master Ho? Is there no three hundred taels of silver here?

Since Master He came up with this trick and asked me to go to Gushan City to die, why did he send someone to rob him halfway?

Ankang was puzzled.

The battle was pointless and soon over.

Anfu once again returned proudly with a banana fan.

After having lunch in the most primitive tank in history, the three An's siblings came to the foot of Gushan.

An Kang asked the family to set up camp here, and he, An Yiyu and An Fu got into their tanks and prepared to get into the car.

At this moment, a group of men and horses were suddenly killed from the mountain road.

If you ask who it is, listen to the next breakdown.
