Chapter 985: Great Significance
Next, Wang Qiao poured lamp oil into a small iron trough, lit a few lamp twists, and stuffed them into a shelf under the jug.
Taking advantage of the heating, Wang Qiao pointed to the lit lamp twist and a small water jug, and began to explain: "Our machine is too small, so it can only be heated in the form of an oil lamp. In this model, the water can only be heated to a boil with a twist of a lamp, and the steam continues to come out and gather......"
Under Wang Qiao's explanation, the water in the jug gradually heated. In a few moments, an iron rod the size of a matchstick began to advance. As the irons progressed, the crankshafts and gears that connected the irons also began to turn.
After a few simple connected transmissions, the disc on which the woodcarved monkey was mounted also moved. The wood-carved monkey at the edge of the disc also began to make a circle of rotation, starting very slowly and gradually increasing in speed.
After a few turns, the disc stabilizes at a constant rotational state.
In this process, Wang Qiao only pointed out the various connection points to explain, and did not put any force on the model.
In the eyes of Jinrong and other ancients, this simple device of converting thermal energy into mechanical energy is very bizarre, rotating on its own, repeatedly, weird and novel.
While listening to Wang Qiao's explanation, Jinrong and Hu Jing watched the machine turn in a daze, forgetting to express their opinions and questions, and they didn't even care to express the shock in their hearts.
Even Jiang Yifan, who was mentally prepared, was surprised when he saw the model's autonomous movements.
Shi Yin stood aside, looking at the sluggish state of these uninformed people, looking extremely proud.
He raised his eyebrows and said to Wang Qiao: "Ah Qiao, speed up and show them." ”
When Jinrong and the others heard this command, they glanced in the direction of Shi Yin, and still looked back at the model. In their opinion, lighting an oil lamp can make a group of dead iron objects move on their own, which is already very strange and subversive to their cognition.
As for how fast this thing moves, isn't it up to the person who made this weird thing to decide? Naturally, people can do whatever they want.
Ye Xinyan was stunned when she heard this: This, won't it? Can this also be shifted? Once this model is made, its pressure and piston stroke should be fixed, and there is no reason to change the speed?
Then, she saw Wang Qiao put on gloves and pushed them somewhere.
I saw that the advancing frequency of the piston and the speed of the disc really accelerated. What is especially obvious is the wood carving monkey on the edge of the disc, which turns so fast that it is almost impossible to see the specific appearance of the monkey.
Ye Xinyan's heart and eyes were full of disbelief. Is this an ancient simple inverter device? That's too high-end, isn't it?
She looked at Shi Yin and Wang Qiao with a complicated expression, full of depression. You don't have to show off your IQ so much, right? How can I be embarrassed by your approach, a person who has lived on the accumulation of thousands of years of knowledge and has received more than ten years of modern education?
Probably the disc turned too fast, which reduced the shock of Jinrong and Hu Jing and others.
Hu Jing finally let out a long breath and felt relieved. In other words, such a shock will make people's spirits tense and consume people's spirits.
Hu Jing twisted his beard and sighed: "I really didn't expect that there is such a magical thing in the world." If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes and heard Aqiao's explanation with your own ears, but saw such a windless automatic thing in a no-man's land, I'm afraid that you would really be suspicious and suspicious, thinking that it was a ghost or a ghost, right? ”
"It's like a god, it's like a god." Jinrong echoed with emotion.
Jiang Yifan had a smile on the corner of his mouth and was silent. This is his daughter-in-law's proposal and guidance, although the essence of this matter cannot be declared, but thinking about it in his heart, it can make him feel proud and satisfied.
"What did Mr. Hu say? Weird and scary. Ye Xinyan glanced at Hu Jing and complained.
What is this? A good model, so successful, was measured by Hu Jing's yin wind.
At this time, Hongzhi, Shiyu and other small servants, as well as Yuan Shang, also surrounded them, all of them dumbfounded.
Zhishu muttered: "What Mr. Hu said is right, if this is in a gloomy and uninhabited place, seeing such a tinkling and moving thing can really scare people half to death." ”
Shi Yu poked him with his elbow and said angrily, "Are we in a gloomy and no-man's land?" It's a blue sky and a white day, and there are also Wang Da Steward and Shi Lao explaining, and Mr. Hu didn't say that there was no one there. Such an amazing thing, thanks to you to think of this! ”
Hongzhi said with a smile: "My sixth master said it, like divine help." It's nothing more than these magical things, it's magical, it should be admired, there's nothing to be afraid of. ”
Shi Yin saw that everyone's shocking emotions were almost fermented, so he smiled and said, "Where and where is this?" What you see today is just the steam engine moving on its own. But I don't know that if the steam engine can really be put into use, it will be a real miracle in the world. ”
"Oh?" Jin Rong looked at it intently, her eyes full of curiosity and inquiry.
Jiang Yifan and Hu Jing also waited for Shi Yin to explain. It's just that Jiang Yifan's curiosity lacks a sense of urgency. Although he also wanted to hear what insights and ideas Shi Yin had, he also knew that Shi Yin's explanation was definitely not as comprehensive and rich as Ye Xinyan's explanation to him.
The extension of the steam engine that Ye Xinyan told him about can make all kinds of tools and utensils fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the sea.
Shi Yin accepted everyone's attention, his face and body were full of sting, but fortunately, his speech was quite normal: "The most critical thing about the steam engine is that it can continuously output power. This power can be applied in all aspects. For example, Aqiao's initial idea was to blow air in the smelting furnace. However, in addition to blowing air, it can also be used in all walks of life, and can be used in all kinds of equipment that needs to rotate and reciprocate.
For example, as I just said, using it to propel the blades to rotate rapidly in the water can make huge ships move quickly, and that speed is by no means comparable to human power. There are also the wheels of the rail-drawn carriages, the spinning ......wheels for spinning, and the power of the steam engine, if not limited by cost, can even be used for river drainage and farmland irrigation......
Its speed and efficiency will increase exponentially, or even more than ten times, dozens of times. ”
Shi Yin didn't care whether the people present understood it or not, and told them all the fields of application that he could think of.
Jinrong, Hu Jing and Jiang Yifan listened to Shi Yin's explanation, looking at the small object that was still spinning wildly, although they didn't understand how it was transformed and applied to many fields.
But they understand how much it would mean if it could be realized.
Shi Yin looked at the big people in front of him who relied on playing tricks to eat, and asked with a smile: "Are you surprised, it's hard to imagine what kind of world it will be?" "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~
