Chapter 335: Steam Engine

After Rovinica left, Chen Xiao had not calmed down the little excitement and anticipation, she turned back and told Chen Xiao: The steam engine has been assembled.

"Let's go and see. Chen Xiao was in a good mood, after the steam engine was assembled, his various plans could be realized in advance.

Steam engines were used in the excavation of coal mines, the development of iron mines, and even the construction of a track between Blackstone Fort and the village of Rodri, and the construction of steam locomotives to transport various materials.

At the experimental site of the steel refinery, Sapp and Arya and others were already on the scene, directing various preparations.

The craftsman, or technician, fills a large iron lump kettle with water, and the burner fills it with anthracite lumps.

When Chen Xiao arrived, the steam engine like a big monster was coming out of steam.

"——! Toot"

A long, high-pitched squirt sound erupted from the lid at the top of the kettle, and the huge steam pressure began to drive the piston, running back and forth.

The piston moves, driving the belts and gears, and the rumbling push is mounted on the lower wheels of the steam engine.

When this steel monster ran around, everyone except Chen Xiao cheered and marveled.

Chen Xiao put his hands behind his back, nodded, looked unfathomable, and smiled slightly: "Not bad." The steam engine is built, but there are a few things to be aware of. ”

Arya had already taken out a pen to record Chen Xiao's speech.

"The steam engine is mainly intended to replace human and animal power, so you can put wheels with pulleys on top and lay rails underneath, and the mobility of the steam engine can be greatly enhanced. ”

"When using a steam engine, you should pay attention to safety and do not touch the steam, as the high temperature will instantly burn the skin and muscles. The steam nozzle can be fitted with a cooling pipe to recover the water after the steam has been cooled. ”

"The scale of the steam engine can be a little larger, the greater the pressure of the kettle, the greater the propulsion of the piston of the steam engine, and the birth of the steam locomotive is not a dream!"

Chen Xiao talked eloquently, for the knowledge and thinking in this guy's head, the people present were no longer surprised.

Is there anything in this world that they don't know?

They once thought that Chen Xiao was rich in knowledge and could guide them to the future of scholars.

After the successful steam engine test, Chen Xiao immediately asked people to install rails and steam engines in the mine cavern.

Behind the steam engine was a bucket that was used to transport coal ore.

As the overseer, the village chief of Field also did his best during this time, reinforcing the planks and support columns for the safety of the workers.

The oblique deep underground cavern has opened up a huge space.

The steam engine ran inside without any problems at all.

As Field watched as the steel monster of the steam engine drove the wheels, pulled the steel cables woven from steel wire, and pulled the bucket full of coal ore out of the mine along the tracks, his face was already shocked.

"My lord, this thing is really. ”

Field looked amazed.

Mixed up with Chen Xiao a lot, even Field can casually say things like hanging bombs.

Chen Xiao grinned and said, "Field, you must first learn how to use and maintain the switch of the steam engine, and then select a few people to take turns to be responsible for the operation of the steam engine, understand?" ”

Field's face turned pale, and he said seriously, "Understood, sir." ”

Now the territory has a great demand for coal mines, and in addition to the need to sell them to the outside world, the task of excavating the coal mines is very difficult.

Coal miners have been recruited again and again, and the number is several times higher than before, but the supply is still not available.

With this steel monster, the excavation efficiency of the coal mine will definitely be greatly improved.

The invention and use of the steam engine can greatly improve production efficiency, not only for the transportation and excavation of coal mines, but also in steel refineries and cement plants, using steam engines to replace manpower and carry out some simple and heavy work.

He took Arya to inspect the steel refinery and cement factory, pointed out several points where the steam engine could replace manpower for manufacturing, and asked Arya to organize the factory's technicians to conduct experiments and breakthroughs.

As for the specific details, Chen Xiaocai didn't bother too much, and besides, he didn't understand it very well.

Many of these technicians he promoted were young people and old craftsmen, all of whom had their own characteristics and skills, and they studied them all day long, and they knew more things now than Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao is developing the territory here.

Lux has already organized the members of the special forces team, left the territory, and searched the surrounding area for robbers who could be used for training.

In this era, life was difficult for the people, and after winter, life became even more difficult, so many robbers were born to rob the people of the villages.

Many of the women and children who were taken captive would become slaves and be sold to slave owners.

Many of the slaves that Chen Xiao bought back were tragic people with this fate.

However, they were all saved by Chen Xiao, and now they can not only eat and dress well, but also cultivate fighting qi and gain force.

The lords are also very kind to them, they are free, they are human beings, not treated like objects to be ruthlessly consumed.

Lux looked at these female soldiers with calm faces and silent voices, and her mood was also a little nervous.

All of them carried a semi-automatic musket on their backs, two short knives that could be used as bayonets around their waists, and were dressed only in light leather armor.

This is their first time on the battlefield, and it's fake not to be nervous.

Moreover, they will face those murderous robbers and robbers, not to mention the danger.

There are many robbers entrenched in this mountain range, and the surrounding villages and towns are often troubled by their raids.

After learning about the situation in the local area, Lux took a local who was familiar with the terrain and showed them the way to fight the robbers.

Carmen is the leader of the robbers in this area, because life is forced, and the Lord of Grizzly Fort has mutilated his wife and children, so he falls into the grass in order to take revenge, develops his power, and specializes in finding trouble with the Lord of Grizzly Bear.

But the guy was too timid and cautious, and Carmen never found a chance to take revenge.

The forces in Grizzly Fort are not weak, and the garrison of hundreds of people makes him dare not take advantage of his edge, and he is tough with the Lord of Grizzly Bear Castle.

So he was so angry that he often harassed the territory of Grizzly Bear, regardless of the life and death of the inhabitants in the territory, just to weaken the power of Grizzly Bear.

With villagers familiar with the terrain leading the way, Lux and the others quickly found the robbers' cottage.

The sentinels of the cottage have already launched a warning signal, and a fierce battle will soon be ushered in here.

"You go first. Lux asked the villager to give him some money and let him go.

The villager, who was a hunter of the village, shook his head and said, "You are all women, and you really want to fight these robbers?"

These hundred or so people were all women, and they were all as beautiful as flowers, so he didn't believe that they could deal with those murderous robbers, and they might all become the playthings of those robbers.

"I'll leave if you are told to go. If you don't leave, we won't be responsible for any damage. The female soldier who paid said in a fiery tone.

Orion's face darkened, he snorted, grabbed the bag containing some coins, turned and left, and disappeared into the forest.

He wants to see how these wives deal with those robbers and robbers!
