Following.

The first semi-automatic steam forging machine in the history of the new calendar world appeared.

In the factory, thousands of people watched the big guy, amazed.

"This is the forging machine?"

"A machine that can completely replace a blacksmith?"

"To forge a hundred steels, a skilled worker needs to use an iron hammer to beat a piece of red-hot iron repeatedly tens of thousands of times. With it, it doesn't require any manpower and only takes a few minutes to complete. ”

"Really?"

"After testing, the strength of this big guy is more than 1,000 catties per blow. Is this the power that workers can wield? ”

"Just by it?"

“……”

On a huge boiler, connected is a large guy like a scale, through the principle of levers, one end is load-bearing, and the other end is a huge hammer. Five hundred pounds of weight-bearing iron were added to the hammer.

When the steam engine lifts the hammer to a height of one meter by repetitive force, the steam force is retracted and the hammer will fall in free fall. The weight of several hundred catties fell from a height of one meter in free fall, and the impact force produced exceeded 1,000 catties.

The Kyushu Academy of Sciences is doing the final test. Test its last stats and the amount of energy it consumes for one hour of operation.

The good news is that the steam engine technology of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences is quite mature and extremely powerful. On average, the hammer can complete 32 smashes per minute, which is more frequent than manual labor, and far more efficient than manual labor.

Megumi Yanagisawa also rushed to the scene to watch the power of this steam forging machine.

When Ruan Mingxue shouted, the air plug was turned on, and the steam engine suddenly began to work.

'Woo woo' steam exited with the chimney.

'Ding-Bang'

'Ding-Bang'

'Ding-Bang'

Everyone was in an uproar, watching the big guy start running again and again. The extremely terrible sledgehammer, the sledgehammer that human beings could never lift, began to lift and fall repeatedly.

A skilled worker came with a red-hot cube of iron and placed it on the forging table.

At this moment, everyone held their breath.

'Bang'

Suddenly, the hammer fell.

"Ahh

"No, it won't!"

"So much power."

"Oh my God, is this mechanical power?"

"That's right, this is the industrial age that Dean Li said."

“……”

The 50-centimeter cubic block of red-hot iron was only hammered by the forging hammer on the forging table, and it was flattened in an instant. It was obviously steel, but at this time, it was like mud.

Turning the incomparably hard steel into soft as mud. Kneading at will, this is the power of science.

Everyone at the Kyushu Academy of Sciences had a collective.

"It worked!"

“……”

This historic moment announced that Kyushu had officially entered the era of steam industry.

When the hammer experiment was successful, it was immediately put into use. Workers immediately began mass production of this uncomplicated steam forging machine.

And the next moment, the steam cutter appeared.

When the disc-shaped hacksaw, connected to the steam engine for power. The 'Buzz' hacksaw began to rotate at a high speed at an extremely fast speed, which was mechanically reduced by reducing the torque and increasing the speed.

Looking at the high-speed rotating hacksaw saw table, everyone took a step back in some fright.

Lin Xiufeng was sweating profusely, and simply took off his shirtless: "Let's use wood to test first." ”

When someone came with a wooden plank, Lin Xiufeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and carried out the operation himself.

Place the plank on the saw table and just push it forward gently.

There was a sharp sound of 'zizz', but sawdust was flying. The plank was easily pushed over and split in two.

The crowd was in an uproar.

This...... Is it a steam-powered hacksaw?

In fact, it is the principle of the chainsaw. It's just that the electric drive was changed to a steam drive, and it became a steam cutter.

It's hard to say whether the steam saw was a success or not, because it reduced the cost of time, but it cost fuel. It is not yet possible to calculate whether its costs are proportional to its benefits.

However, the steam cutting machine conceived by Li Zhen has really come in handy at present.

The people from the School of Mathematics helped them calculate the cost, and in the end, it was a multi-purpose machine.

A factory is equipped with a small number of steam engines, but assembles different platforms. The piston cylinders are detachable, and a single steam engine can drive several machines at the same time.

If you are going to use a forging machine at this time, then connect the cylinder to the forging machine and let the forging machine start working.

After using the forging machine, you need to use a cutting machine, so remove the cylinder and install it on the cutting machine to continue working.

The power heart is not changed, but it is multi-purpose.

Greatly reduce the cost and raw materials. In this way, the machinery can be idle, but the steam engine is constantly working.

There are some small parts that need to be polished manually, and it takes a lot of time to polish steel.

Thus, the steam polishing grinder also appeared.

The steam is transmitted by force and connected to the axis of the upper grinding wheel with a belt, driving the grinding wheel to rotate at high speed. All you need to do is hold the steel in your hand and rub it against the rapidly rotating grinding wheel. There is no need to use any manual force to polish it. And because of the high rotation speed of the grinding wheel, the efficiency is at least ten times higher.

If you give a pure blunt knife a sharp edge, you need to sharpen it by hand on a whetstone for hours. Then get this grinder, and it only takes a few minutes to do it effortlessly.

This is the principle of machinery, and this is the great age of steam.

This made everyone's mouth open, they never imagined that the steam engine could do so many things.

Sure enough, as long as you have the heart of power, then the power can be output no matter what it looks like. All they need to do is make it happen through mechanical dynamics.

It completely replaces manual labor.

Efficiency increases exponentially.

All the people of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences collectively cheered, and in the midst of this euphoria, they continued to study the diverse uses of steam.

I kind of understand the few drawings thrown by Li Zhen, which are used to throw bricks and attract jade. Name the topic idea, and the rest of the essay needs to be written by themselves.

If you can't write a theme without having a theme idea, then it's basically useless. Obviously, the Kyushu Academy of Sciences didn't waste people, they just didn't think of it.

The next day, the students of the Institute of Mechanical Power produced another drawing, and everyone exclaimed.

Steam milling machine!

The advent of the milling machine represents that overnight, the steam age has crossed a step upward.

The milling cutter is cast from a high-strength alloy and rotated at high speed by steam transfer power. In order to cut the metal, engraving, cutting out grooves on the plane, and processing special parts on a precision tooth-controlled platform.

When the people of the Institute of Mechanical Power announced the basic principles of the milling machine and the application of the milling machine. Everyone was excited.

A new era has arrived.

Truly belongs to the age of steam.

Industrial Age.
