"It seems that you won't believe it until you see it with your own eyes. Donner smiled, then said loudly, "Danny, take a wind-up battery down and give it to our guests."www.biquge.info ”

"Yes, my lord!" Danny replied with a bow, then turned to order.

One of them leaned over to close the safety brake of the clockwork battery, and then used a wrench to unscrew the output shaft of the battery to connect with the sleeve of the loom transmission mechanism, waved his hand and shouted "OK", and the workers guarding the side of the cart repeatedly pushed the handle of the cart, and waited until the heavy clockwork battery was slightly raised, and then several people worked together to drag the cart to Donner.

Because there is no suitable hydraulic oil available, this plate truck for handling in imitation of hydraulic flat car design uses a structure similar to a mechanical jack when lifting, and uses the torque of the handle to pry the gear, as long as an ordinary person, hundreds of kilograms of goods can be lifted off the ground.

Similarly, because there are no nylon wheels available, the wheels of the board car are iron wheels, which are quite laborious to drag, so that the Santan 5 spring battery, which weighs nearly 300 kilograms, requires the joint efforts of several people to drag it slowly.

For Donner, this pallet truck that was barely built due to the constraints of the conditions was a bit cheap, but in the eyes of Lisa, Alex, Mino, and others, it was already an unbelievable artifact.

Of all the people present, Alex was the most business-minded, and he could see at a glance the great value of this kind of handling machine, and if it weren't for Lisa's presence, he might have asked Donner for a price again.

However, it wasn't until several workers, under Danny's command, dismantled the cover on one side of the strip battery that Alex realized that the pallet truck used for handling was nothing at all.

The whole Santan 5 spring battery is 82 centimeters long, 46 centimeters wide, 50 centimeters high, and weighs 350 kilograms.

The yellow-brown grease slowly flowed out from the side of the opening, revealing hundreds of pale gold metal strips densely packed inside, and from the side of the opening, such a circle of coiled metal strips were densely arranged in an unknown number of layers, and the layers that were close to the inner wall had been loosened, and the ones close to the side of the opening were still taut.

In order to improve production efficiency, Downer began to implement standardized processes as early as three years ago. The six models of clockwork batteries in production have exactly the same clockwork disc used inside, but the number of arrays is different.

On the one hand, this idea is to unify the specifications of the parts, and on the other hand, it is also because when the size of a single spring disc is too large, the internal stress of the spring battery is too concentrated, which brings great difficulties to the design and manufacture of structural parts.

Now, 256 Bruno 4 springs are used in a Santan 5 mainspring battery, which are distributed in a neat and rational way inside the battery, and when fully charged, i.e. all the mainspring is tightened, the tension between the springs cancels each other out, and finally acts on the eight millstone shafts made of mythic copper alloy on average.

These shafts are not fixed on a thin and light clockwork battery cover, but are securely locked with the strongest Mithril alloy construction. Because of this, when the battery cover is opened, the inside does not fall apart.

The combination of so many beautiful springs, together with the chain to balance the torque, the jump distribution disc designed to adjust the sequential output, and the gears for the transmission, creates an extremely complex mechanical structure that creates a dazzling industrial aesthetic.

Everyone gathered on the side where the clockwork battery was opened, and in addition to expressing heartfelt admiration, more people were estimating how much gold it would cost to buy such an artifact.

Even those who had planned to buy out the machine with their own capital have now given up on this idea, and there is only one thought left in their minds: it is unbelievable that they can get such a machine without paying a penny by giving up 40% of the shares.

"Donner, I can see that you're giving us money!" Mino's head shook with a smile.

"Yes, Captain Vane," the other was referring to Donner's title in the Great Patriotic War, "I don't think I'll be able to smile from ear to ear if I don't say forty percent of the shares, even if it's only one percent." ”

"The head of the regiment can't let go of us old fellows!" Quisal smiled heartily, just as Donner had when he first met him.

In the face of so many compliments, Donner just smiled lightly and said: "I can't take care of it myself, anyway, as long as you have my shares, you are making money for me." ”

Everyone laughed.

In fact, Donner's idea was that he could not take all the industry into his own hands, and this "investment" was equivalent to cultivating the first batch of capitalists. When their factories were opened all over the empire, they naturally took the initiative to train industrial workers and gradually changed the existing serfdom system. Moreover, the wealth effect will attract more aristocrats to invest in industry, contributing to the clockwork industrial revolution.

Of course, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these people present, and as long as the development is carried out step by step, there will definitely be future big capitalists among these people.

For Donner, it is better to spread the seeds of capital anyway, so that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and leave these opportunities to the partners who have fought with him.

By this time, Alex had already walked back from the clockwork battery, and it seemed that he was holding back his stomach full of questions.

Lisa, on the other hand, was still frowning, her eyes not taking off the exposed clockwork battery for a moment.

"Don't use mental power to detect, it will reduce the performance of the clockwork. Downer reminded.

"Why does this thing push machines?" Lisa finally asked.

"Naturalist ......," said Donner, smiling mysteriously, "Danny, what about the steam engine? ”

"Okay!" Danny excitedly ran away with the workers, and a few minutes later, two flatbed trucks towed a small steam engine.

Then, Danny took matters into his own hands and connected the steam engine to the clockwork battery - whether it was wind, water, or the output shaft of the steam winder, it was the same height as the output shaft of each type of clockwork battery, and the connection was made of a Vientiane gear sleeve, which could be connected without being perfectly aligned.

"Gentlemen, in addition to wind and water power, we also provide you with an emergency steam engine that not only charges the clockwork battery, but also drives the machine directly. Now, let's show you the process of charging a clockwork battery. ”

As Danny spoke, the workers had stuffed the prepared charcoal into the steam engine combustion chamber, and then Wesley volunteered to light the charcoal with a small fireball.

It didn't take long for a thick white mist to erupt from the pressure relief valve of the steam engine, and Danny quickly adjusted the lever gear of the clockwork battery to the third gear of the charge, and then released the battery safety brake.

There was a sound of vibration, and the shaft at the junction between the steam engine and the clockwork battery opened and slowly turned, and then faster and faster, faster and faster.

Inside the open clockwork battery, the gears also rotated and accelerated, and the outermost dozen or so clockwork reels began to tighten in an orderly manner.

Minnot and the others all let out heartfelt admiration.

Alex was dumbfounded.

"Naturalist ......" Lisa subconsciously repeated the word, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she looked at Donner. (To be continued.) )
