Using the basic condensation test, the simple physical reaction between the large and small air pressures was verified, which is what this extremely crude and rudimentary pumping machine is doing now, and it may not have any practical effect compared to its work efficiency and a large amount of excess consumption, but it represents a completely different meaning. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

With the success of this experiment, coupled with the various simple or detailed technical information provided by Luya, Luya has reason to believe that the time for the appearance of the steam engine in this world is very close.

To put it simply, a steam engine is a reciprocating power machine that converts the energy of steam into mechanical work. The advent of the steam engine on Earth caused the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century. Even at the beginning of the 20th century, it was the most important prime mover in the world, but it gradually gave way to the internal combustion engine and steam turbine.

The simple principle of operation of a steam engine is that it requires a boiler that boils water to produce high-pressure steam, which can use wood, coal, oil or gas, or even garbage as a heat source. The steam expansion pushes the piston to do work. It can be seen that the importance of the boiler in this is self-evident, and in fact, it is the rubber that troubles the current research progress more than the boiler, although the power of the riveted boiler is very limited in the absence of electric welding wire, but even if it is a riveted boiler, the steam pressure it generates is not something that can be solved by the sealing technology mastered by Blackstone City.

The various pipes extending from the boiler of a steam engine are not monolithic, and that kind of technology is impossible even on the otherworldly earth, so what about the links between these pipes?

If you want to fix it by screws under the simple wire drawing technology, there are extremely strict requirements for the size and specifications of the original, so there will inevitably be gaps between the pipes and pipes, which are especially prominent in the still backward industrial system of Blackstone City.

In the past, the Iron Old Man couldn't do just the sealing requirements needed to make this simple pumping machine, because they simply didn't have a sealing material that could replace rubber, in order to solve a small sealing gasket problem, the Iron Old Man and his team experimented with almost all the materials they could find, whether it was linen, silk, wood, fur, Fascia, etc., without exception, no material can meet the requirements, which is actually normal, compared to the other world, such advanced science and technology on the earth can not make materials that can replace the status of natural rubber, let alone the iron old man them.

In fact, sometimes science and technology are both complex and simple, so simple that only a small rubber gasket is needed to solve it, and it is so complicated that the whole research ・・・・・・・ stagnate for a small rubber gasket.

With the addition of rubber, the research progress of the entire research institute is like a rocket speeding up, in order to make the world's first steam engine as soon as possible, the old man Tie and his team are working day and night to carry out these demonstration experiments, their experiment is naturally not the most old-fashioned horizontal bar integrated steam engine, although the steam engine is called a steam engine, but in fact, whether it is working power, The specifications or consumption can only be regarded as embryonic level, the iron old man has the information provided by Lu Ya, although it is impossible to directly build a high-level steam turbine with limitations and industrial level, but it is still very promising to create a steam engine with industrial value at the beginning.

The research project, known as the Blackstone No. 1 Experimental Steam Engine, was divided into several research groups, such as the Split Condenser Research Group, the Cylinder External Insulation Research Group, the Piston Research Group, the Gear Research Group, the Motion Link Research Group, the Centrifugal Governor Research Group, the Throttle Valve Research Group, the Pressure Research Group, the Dozens of research groups, such as the rubber refining research group, can be said to have almost all the researchers in the research institute joined in the research of the Blackstone No. 1 testing machine, and the entire research institute is united to build the steam engine as soon as possible.

Scientific research is like piercing layer after layer of window paper, this window paper feels so simple when you pierce it, but when you can't find any trace of it, why do you feel so difficult, not to mention the first person on the earth to put forward the theory of the steam engine, it took more than 100 years for the steam engine to be invented for the first time to replace manpower for the purpose of replacing manpower, and it can be used in industry in the real sense. It can be said that the problems solved in the past hundred years are the problems that are now being solved by the various groups of the institute.

Unlike the people of the time, who were completely blinded by the blindness, the various groups of the institute had a very clear purpose, and the time gap between them was definitely measured in years.

It's like a person who has never been exposed to multiplication formulas and formulas, and you ask him to quickly complete a multiplication math problem with a person who knows the multiplication formula.

At that time, it took half a century for the steam engine on the earth to go from its real application and industry to the time it could run on the railroad tracks! During this period, the steam engine actually overcame only a few things, such as if the noise was too loud and the vibration was strong, the steam engine could explode at any time. When the train started, smoke billowed and sparks splashed as the wheels rubbed against the rails, and the people sitting in the cars were covered in smoke and dust, and they were tossed to exhaustion. The flames from the steam engine scorched the nearby trees, etc.

However, these problems can be solved by installing shock absorbing springs under the car body, replacing pig iron with wrought iron as the material for the rails, adding small stones under the sleepers, increasing the number of wheels in the front and compartment, and installing linkage bleed valves, which are not a big problem for the research team with ready-made data.

Most of the information given by Ruya is basic information that modern people are familiar with and can see in detail, but it is these seemingly simple information that is beyond the reach of miracles on the continent of Harry.

For the next period of time, Luya stayed in the institute almost day and night, he participated in all the research on the steam engine, after all, the data is still the data, and some things are not solved by a text or a picture, sometimes a problem that plagues researchers Luya only needs a few seconds to give an answer, and he can speed up the progress of almost all research groups several times.

With the technical difficulties of one item to be overcome, in the end there are only two difficulties left in front of Lu Ya and others, one is the manufacturing of each component and the accuracy of the parts, in the absence of lathe and welding, Lu Ya can only shrug his shoulders and say that there is no way, the current situation can only be molded parts, so that although the friction between the various parts will definitely be very serious, but now it can only be so, only wait until the research process in the future and then advance a process to slowly solve, this thing is not in a hurry, and it will not be able to solve it for a while, buy a car and run in, not to mention the most old-fashioned steam engine。

If the first problem can be fooled in the past, then another problem is a little bit of a scratch for Luya, that is, the boiler, the long cylindrical boiler is not like the modern industry like three iron plates one roll and two cut and then welded, now the steel plant has no professional cutting and welding means, can only use the most old-fashioned riveting technology, so that the pressure in the boiler can not be too high, otherwise it will be an accident, Lu Ya has not seen the tragic news of those boiler explosions before, the products of modern technology will explode, not to mention this kind of boiler that can almost be said to be shoddy boiler。

In this regard, Lu Ya can only suggest that the old man Tie should work more on the strength of the rivet first, and the emergence of this problem also reflects the shortcomings of the entire research institute from one asption.

However, no matter how much the problem is, the progress of the Blackstone No. 1 experimental steam engine has been breaking through, and in less than a month, its prototype has basically been completed・・・・・・・・
