Ye Xinyan is well-informed, which does not mean that others are not surprised.

Not only had Jinrong and the others never seen it, but they couldn't imagine this kind of thing that they could move, they all subconsciously sat up straight and watched the craftsman come in with a tin box.

The box is not big, and looking at the way the craftsman is holding it, it should have some weight.

Shi Yin asked Jinrong to agree and put the box on the table in front of the living room.

The lid and the four corners of the box had buckles, and when the lid was lifted, they did not take anything out, but the buckles at the four corners were also opened.

A small model of a steam engine fixed to an iron plate is revealed.

Unlike the serious steam engine model, the power output of this small model is driven by a crankshaft and connecting rod to a disc on which a thumb-sized, vivid wooden monkey is mounted.

Jinrong, Hu Jing, and Jiang Yifan were all anxious to see the novelty, and crowded around the table one by one. Jiang Yifan even wanted to see what kind of earth-shattering thing Ye Xinyan said could change the fate of the Central Plains.

On the other side of the table, near the steam engine, Wang Qiao was filling a small tin tank of a steam engine.

Hongzhi and Shiyu and several other entourages all stood in place, but they also stretched their necks and toes anxiously, looking inside from the top of several people's heads and gaps.

Jinrong looked at the iron appliance that was not complicated by the bottles and cans, and didn't understand how it could move for a long time.

He raised his eyes and asked Shi Yindao: "Old Shi, such a small thing is a movable instrument?" Turn this disc around, right? ”

Shi Yin cocked his goatee, glanced at Jinrong very proudly, and said proudly: "Don't underestimate this disc, the prince. This is the power we set is small, the machine is also small, if the strength of the machine is large enough, it can drive very heavy things.

As far as the old man could see, it was very useful. Not only can it blow air to the iron-smelting furnace, but if the oars are mounted head-to-head, the steam engine can propel the ship forward. ”

Jiang Yifan had heard Ye Xinyan say a lot of similar things, although it was difficult for him to imagine that kind of scene, but he also knew that Shi Yin's idea could be realized.

Jinrong and Hu Jing were full of puzzlement: "Huh? "Isn't this thing blowing air for the smelting furnace? What does it have to do with ships? Eight poles can't be matched.

When Ye Xinyan was in Qinghe Village, she was very respectful of the printing mechanism and the clever mobile phone. At this time, when I heard him say this idea, my heart was even more relieved. She was now short of someone who could discover the use of the steam engine. If everything is told by her, it is not only tiring to rack her brains to find excuses, but also very dangerous.

Once this thing is made, its versatility will be astounded. Led by a woman who grew up in her back house, a careless one will attract suspicion.

With Shi Yin's words first, Ye Xinyan spoke again, which was guided by Shi Yin, which was much more natural.

She interjected: "Since you can make two head-to-head oars, why not install a few more oars, just form a wheel around it, and push the water waves like that, the force will be more stable, more frequent and faster." ”

Wang Qiao, who was closing the model water tank, listened to it, and his subordinates were stunned: Yes, Shi Lao's idea has been discussed before, but this addition of Ye Zi has greatly improved the components that propel the ship.

Shi Yin's reaction was faster, and he immediately shouted: "That's right." ”

The old man was excited, and the movement of slapping the table was really louder, which startled everyone who was still in a daze.

Shi Yin was still excited, and asked Jinrong anxiously: "Lord Wang, are you convenient for pen and paper here?" The old man has to draw what Mrs. Qi said. When you're old, if you accidentally forget it, how can you be born? "It's not that he's afraid of forgetting, it's itching to see the shape of this component right away.

This is a serious mechanical research and development, of course, there will be no shortage of paper and pen, and the printing is also used to sketching. Pen and ink paper were brought, but with a few strokes, the shape of an impeller was drawn.

Shi Yin looked at the impeller, modified and smeared a few times where it was inappropriate, changed the paper, and drew a new one, before nodding with satisfaction, completely forgetting where he was.

Jinrong couldn't understand the details of the impeller, looked at Shi Yin's expression, and asked curiously: "What does Shi Lao mean, this thing can row?" ”

Shi Yin came back to his senses, his face was satisfied and proud, and said, "Isn't it just being able to row? If the steam engine can be used on the ship, then the speed of our ships in the Celestial Empire will be as fast as flying. If it is a war or a voyage, it is invincible. ”

Ye Xinyan and Jiang Yifan glanced at each other, remembering the strong ships and cannons that she had firmly remembered in her last life, and Shi Yin's description was extremely in place. In the previous life, it belonged to the West, and perhaps here, a different future will be shown.

Shi Yin replied to Jinrong, but his eyes looked at Ye Xinyan with great feeling, and sighed: "You said that you little girl, how do you grow this head melon seed?" It's an idea in a moment. We craftsmen usually have an idea, even if we rack our brains for a lifetime, we may not be able to find the key. It's really surprising that you can point out the most critical things with this casual sentence. ”

Ye Xinyan was stunned, can't she talk to others? It can also cause unusual exclamations.

This...... Acting in front of insiders, it is really very risky, this is not a small village in Yuyuan County, and the steam engine is not an ordinary device, she still has to be more cautious in the future.

Ye Xinyan laughed dryly twice and said, "Old Shi, you have won the award, I just listened to Shi Lao's words, and I felt something, so I just said a word of gossip." It's rare that you draw it right away, and that's where the real power is. ”

This is not adulterated at all. The wisdom of the ancient working people is truly breathtaking.

The previous space was not the lack of wisdom of the ancestors, but the fact that the society did not provide an environment for the development of handicrafts and craftsmen, and many utensils only appeared in historical records, and were not continued, let alone developed.

If the social environment is favorable, the artisan industry in the Central Plains will take off long ago.

Wang Qiao looked at the shape of the impeller painted by Shi Yin, and was satisfied, so he concentrated on tinkering with the steam engine model. He sealed the mouth of the jug, took the iron trough with several oil lamp twists at the bottom, looked at Ye Xinyan, and asked if it had started.

Ye Xinyan took advantage of the situation to divert the topic: "Yes, yes, yes, let's still look at the machine and see how the monkey moves." Your Highness, what do you mean? ”

Let Shi Yin say a few more words, and she won't come back.

Jin Rong and Hu Jing's thoughts were already immersed in the huge benefits brought by the speed of the ship, and after listening to Ye Xinyan's question, they came back to their senses, "Okay, let's see how the steam engine moves." "I want to talk about "Women's Beauty" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
