Chapter 902: Commentary
Jiang Yifan frowned when he heard it: The process of industrialization? What is technology?
The fresh words in these few sentences bothered Jiang Yifan very much. He rubbed the corners of his forehead and said, "Ah Yan, you slow down and tell me in detail." I don't understand what you're saying. ”
Ye Xinyan paused and smiled in surprise. Jiang Yifan, an ancient man who has never been in contact with a machine, and who doesn't understand what heat energy and mechanical energy is, doesn't know how to convert heat energy and mechanical energy in his brain, so naturally he doesn't know how to industrialize, and it's normal to not understand these things she said.
She changed her direction and said: "To put it simply, in my memory, the difficulty of our early smelting is that the smelting temperature cannot be increased, and the main reason for the lack of temperature is the lack of air volume, you understand?" ”
Jiang Yifan nodded, and Ye Xinyan continued: "In the era when I grew up, more than two hundred years ago, the steam engine was manufactured by some intelligent people in foreign lands and widely used in various fields of society, and smelting was one of them.
The steam engine can be converted through energy...... Anyway, through a series of mechanical structures and combustion heat, a large amount of air is blown into the smelting furnace, so that the carbon can be burned better, and the smelting temperature is greatly increased, so that the smelting efficiency is improved and the output is increased. ”
"It's a foreign ...... again" Jiang Yifan frowned, and at the same time, the sense of crisis in his heart rose again.
"Let's not mention the Exotic." Ye Xinyan said. This kind of thing is a long story, and the steam engine played an important role in this, not only because of the prosperity of the steel industry, but also because it could strengthen the hulls of ocean-going ships, and it also gave the exotic giant ship enough power to expand far away. Alas, all tears.
"I wanted Wang Qiao to go to the smelting workshop to see the structure and operation of the smelting furnace. For smelting furnaces, even the relatively simple ones in the early days were made to make steam engines for smelting blasts. With the early steam engine, with a little guidance, it can naturally be applied to other industries. This is a machine that can drive the course of history, and it is very important. ”
Jiang Yifan thought for a while and asked, "It's just to blow wind on the stove, and the big bellows and leather tigers used for iron smelting and iron will also produce a lot of air currents." Why do you have to make this steam engine? ”
Ye Xinyan shook her head, "It's different." The air volume of the steam engine and the bellows are not the same thing at all, and their efficiency is not the same. The amount of air generated by that speed and force is so impressive that it is impossible to do it by manpower......"
Ye Xinyan said that he was concise and clear, and gave Jiang Yifan the popular science work of getting up early industrial machines.
As a result, Jiang Yifan listened to her explanation very carefully, and still shook his head: "This, I'm really not good at it." After talking about it for a long time, I still don't understand much. You just said that since it has a wide range of functions, what is the use of it other than smelting? "It seems that he is quite interested in it.
Ye Xinyan was quite proud, and said: "This is too much, textile, underground mining, ship driving, and so on. It's just that our situation here can't keep up with the use of the steam engine. The most widespread application of the steam engine is in rails and ships, and if it can, it can also play a large role in the textile industry. ”
Jiang Yifan was very confused, he could barely accept the words of weaving, but ......
"This kind of thing? What can it do in orbit? ”
Knowing that he couldn't imagine it, Ye Xinyan said with a smile: "It can replace horses, pull very heavy and heavy, more than horses to pull goods hundreds of times or thousands of times the weight, and gallop on the track." Not only is it pulling a lot of goods, but it is also extremely fast, faster than you say. ”
"Shouldn't this thing, this thing be an iron lump?" Jiang Yifan felt that his tongue was about to be knotted, "Can he still run by himself?" ”
Ye Xinyan nodded with a smile, "Yes, it can run on its own, as long as it is given enough burning heat, it can pull the carriage, pull a very heavy and many carriages to run by itself." ”
Jiang Yifan forgot to be surprised, and yearned for it, "Then you and Ah Qiao can make this thing?" ”
Ye Xin glanced at him, "You think I'm an immortal?" I can't do it. ”
As she spoke, she clenched her fist hard, "Hmm! I pinned my hopes on Wang Qiao and Master Shi Yinshi, hoping that they would make it. If you can't make it for the time being, then record all the trial production process, maybe future generations can see it, and they can be inspired, and they can continue to make it. ”
Ah Yan, she works so hard, but she co-authors to let others contribute?
Jiang Yifan stroked her cheek and said with a smile: "You are really good, you have seen it yourself, and you know a little bit, but you pin your hopes on others." Such an unimaginable artifact, how can you make Wang Qiao and Master Shi make it? ”
Ye Xinyan pulled Jiang Yifan's hand away in disgust, and said confidently: "Using the right person in the right place is a science, do you know?" No matter how great a person's ability is, he is only one person, and teamwork is king. You have to believe in the ingenuity of the vast number of working people, you know? ”
"......" This was taught by the daughter-in-law?
Forget it, the sage said that only women and villains are difficult to raise, and Ah Yan is also a woman, how can he say her crooked reasoning?
Continuing the serious topic just now, Jiang Yifan took pen, ink and paper from the side, spread it on the kang table, and said as if he wanted to record: "Ah Yan, tell me what role this steam engine can play, and how it leads the industrialization process you mentioned." ”
What's to be done? Ye Xinyan was strange.
Jiang Yifan explained: "I'm going to make all these things you told me into a strange story. Regardless of whether it is useful for the present day, as long as it can be passed on, it may be able to inspire the craftsmen in a specific period of time in the future, and use it as a direction to guide their work. ”
"Uh-huh, this one will do." Ye Xinyan nodded hurriedly. At this moment, she remembered science fiction.
At that time, Verne's science fiction such as submarines, moon landings, and mysterious islands seemed so bizarre, distant, and incredible that they seemed to only appear in people's imaginations, and never in the real world.
However, just a few decades later, those magical ideas began to be realized one by one.
This era will never accept the world of the time-traveler and the millennium later, but it can accept anecdotes. Even many declining literati make a living by writing this kind of thing, and many storytellers support their families by talking about this kind of thing.
If Jiang Yifan can write a book based on this, write these things into classics, and pass them on. Perhaps it can really be used as a reference for future industrialization.
"Then I'll tell you about mining, textiles, smelting, trains, steamships, and ...... related to the steam engine," and the humiliation of the ship's cannons.
