Chapter Forty-Eight: Sixteen Times More Work

Different from the Zhongling Continent, the world in which He Wei originally lived was based on science as the primary productive force. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and the dividing line between ancient times and antiquity is undoubtedly the invention and use of the steam engine.

Its emergence has completely changed the face of human production and life, replaced human labor with machinery, shortened the necessary labor time of society, and opened the prelude to human industrial civilization. Well, that's what the textbook says.

Since He Wei wants to have a vigorous industrial revolution on the Zhongling Continent, it is natural to manufacture power machines.

Originally, the materials of various metals on the Zhongling Continent were enough to directly manufacture internal combustion engines, but because of why worry, he did not find a suitable fuel. Therefore, as a last resort, He Wei can only retreat to the next best thing and make a steam engine as a power source.

"This thing, I call it a steam engine, is used to replace human power with power. And this loom is a machine that I improved the other day, and it puts the horizontal spindles in an upright position and eight of them side by side, so that the spinning speed can be increased by eight times!" He Wei explained as he connected the two machines together.

"Eight times faster? You don't need someone to power it?How is this possible?" Although Bihe already has a certain understanding of He Wei's wisdom, if she wants to make her believe that she can spin yarn without people and just a pot of water, then she will never believe it!

And it's not just Bihe, this time even the jumping beads don't believe in what's the worry. While expressing her shame for He Wei's boasting, she reminded He Wei: "Young master, forget it, this thing...... Don't get it......"

"Well, you don't believe me?" He Wei asked with a frown.

Jumping Bead quickly shook his head and waved his hand to explain: "No, no, Jumping Bead believes in the young master, we all believe in the young master......! Now that there are waterwheel spinning machines, this thing is ...... I'm afraid it's ...... Nothing to ......

Under He Wei's angry gaze, Jumping Bead said everything he wanted to say strongly, but because his voice was too small, he didn't seem to have any confidence.

"Can the waterwheel spinning machine be compared to the one made by this young master? Can the waterwheel spinning machine spin yarn in a place where there is no water? When the water flow in the river becomes smaller, they drink the northwest wind?" He Wei scolded.

"But...... Young master, this ...... Doesn't this thing also need water? I saw it all, and that strange thing was boiling water. "Jumping beads argues with reason.

"Hey, you little girl's wings are stiff, aren't you? Dare to slap your mouth!" He said angrily, "Okay, I'll let you see what a steam engine is, and what science and technology are the primary productive forces! Tie Tuo, pull that valve down." ”

"Okay!" replied Tie Tuo cheerfully.

At this time, the water in the steam engine has completely boiled, and the water vapor that originally came out through the air outlet cannot come out when the valve is pulled. It's just that the pressure in the pipeline is not big enough to drive the movement of the textile machine next to it, so everyone can not see any phenomenon for the time being except for the sound of boiling water.

This waiting process is extremely embarrassing, especially when even Bihe and Jumping Beads are not optimistic about anything. After a while, the two girls saw that there was still no movement in the weaving machine, so they exchanged an embarrassed look, and then comforted He Wei softly: "Young master, forget it, I feel ......"

Click!zizizi~~~

Before he finished speaking, he heard a soft sound from the loom, followed by the grinding sound of a mechanical movement.

Textile maneuvered!

It was slow at first, but it soon became faster as the pressure in the steam engine increased.

Click! Click! Click! Click!

Eight vertical spindles flew through the empty looms, and although Bihe and Jumping Beads had never seen anyone spin, this did not affect their correct judgment in the slightest. That is, manual spinning will never be able to do this kind of speed!

"Xiao Porcelain, how about you look at the spinning machine?" Bi He asked softly, after all, Xiao Porcelain could see at a glance that this was a spinning machine, so her opinion was still very valuable for reference!

"I ...... I...... It's too fast!" muttered Xiao Porcelain, who was already shocked and speechless.

"Even with the fastest spinning machine, the most skilled female worker will never make the spindle run so fast! And Young Master He just said that the spinning speed of this spinning machine itself is eight times that of an ordinary spinning machine. If it is calculated according to Young Master He, this ...... This will definitely increase the spinning speed of at least 16 quilts!"

"Sixteen times! How is this possible!" Jumping Bead was startled by Xiao Porcelain's words, and couldn't believe his ears.

What is the concept of sixteen times faster?

That is to say, without using people at all, relying on a pot of hot water, he did the work that took sixteen people to complete!

"Did He Gongzi carve any magic circle on it?" Bi He said, and leaned next to the steam engine, his eyes widened, as if he wanted to find the so-called magic circle from the steam engine.

After all, the Zhongling Continent is a world known for spells, and here, spells are omnipotent. As long as you rely on the power of spells, not to mention using a pot of water to do the work of seventeen people, even using one drop of water to do the work of a hundred people, it is not completely impossible!

Seeing Bihe reach out to touch the steam engine, He Wei quickly took her hand and shook her head with a smile.

The iron tuo on the side grinned and said: "Miss Bihe beware of burns, this steam engine is boiling hot water, and the temperature inside is extremely high, which is not something that ordinary people can bear!"

"Moreover, this thing was created by me according to the requirements of the young master, and there is absolutely no depiction of formations and runes. Even the material is just a harder piece of cold iron, and there is absolutely nothing special about it!"

"Is it just cold iron? How is this possible? How is this possible......

After listening to Tie Tuo's words, Bihe and Jumping Bead were completely stunned, staring at the steam engine in a daze, and all that left their mouths was "how is this possible......

"Actually, there's nothing hard to understand. When we usually boil water, we should often see the water vapor lifting the lid of the kettle. Therefore, when I make the kettle bigger and stronger, the power of water vapor will increase tenfold and hundreds of times. Then I use these gears to turn this force into what I need, and I can use it for work!" He Wei explained with a smile.

"Rely on the water vapor that comes out of the boiling water to provide power?, that is to say, is He Gongzi relying on this pile of worthless firewood in the stove, doing the work that can only be done by sixteen people?" Bihe asked stunned.

"Pretty much, the principle is to turn the heat generated when the firewood is burned into the internal energy of water, and then convert the internal energy into mechanical energy, and finally ...... Forget it, you don't understand it. Anyway, this steam engine does work by burning things, and as long as there is something to burn, it can continue to work like this. He Wei said.
