Chapter 106: If you open it, you will open it big
While discussing fishing tips while eating, Renault couldn't help but feel itchy and wanted to make a set of fishing gear to show off his skills. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Unfortunately, before the dinner was over, the blacksmith Ferex rushed over.
During Renault's absence, the steam turbine has undergone a series of modifications and experiments, and significant progress has been made.
Tomorrow there will be another test run, and this time Ferrette is confident that it will succeed.
"Lord Renault," Hawkeye Hank immediately became interested in the turbine after listening to Fare's report, "Can I come and see your turbine tomorrow?"
"What's not to do?"
Renault graciously agreed to his request.
As for the steam turbine, Renault is not worried about technical leaks, which he himself has not even figured out very much about now.
So early the next morning, he took Hank to the machine shop.
The steam turbine has been assembled, it is still the same shape, the various pipes have not changed, and the simple boiler next to it has already begun to emit steaming heat.
Ferré came to Renault in high spirits: "Lord Renault, the warm-up has been completed, you only need to give an order, you can test the machine!"
"Are you sure this time?"
"Absolutely!"
Ferre's face was much thinner than last month, and the white hairs on his head came out. In order for this steam turbine to succeed, he put more energy into it this month, and almost ate and slept in the workshop.
Looking at his bloodshot eyes, Renault was a little moved, he, like Badge and Lauren, was the most valuable asset left to him by his grandfather.
"Whether it's successful or not, you'll have to rest for a few days. ”
After saying that, Renault ordered to start the test machine.
With the increasingly dense sound of jets, a large amount of steam drilled out of the exhaust port, turning into a white mist and soon filling the entire workshop.
"Oh, what is this?"
Hank is like falling into a cloud, could it be that this so-called steam turbine is used to create these white fogs?
In the thick mist, the central shaft of the steam turbine rotates at high speed, and the high-speed moving bearings emit a uniform and fine humming sound.
"Ferré!" the loud exhaust sound made Renault have a lot of effort to speak, "Didn't the bearings at both ends be refueled?"
"I added it, but the animal oil didn't work well, and it quickly disappeared. ”
Renault did not expect this problem, animal oil is semi-solid at room temperature, and when it encounters high temperature steam, it will turn into a liquid and cannot be retained in the bearing.
This is a serious problem, nothing in a short period of time, but after a long period of time, the bearing will break, and the consequences can be catastrophic.
But now is not the time to solve this small problem, as long as the turbine can be kept running, even for just a few minutes, it will officially declare the Oro Continent officially enter the steam age.
At that time, the "manufacturing" of the app will inevitably be updated to the steam turbine, and there will be no perfect version to come out.
Looking back at the history of the Earth, the Age of Steam was definitely the most romantic of the entire Industrial Revolution.
Although there was no lack of ugly oppression and plunder by the capitalists, the people of that era witnessed the first great change in the history of industry.
People are full of dreams to use the steam engine in various fields, replacing a large number of human labor, and strongly pushing human civilization to a higher level.
To this day, steam turbines still play an important role.
It can be found on large generators, ships, and even aircraft carriers.
At Renault's signal, the steam pressure gradually increased, the speed of the central shaft became faster and faster, and the entire frame began to vibrate slightly. And the place of the bearing, there is also a sharp sound that makes people feel sore - the defect of the lack of oil in the bearing is officially exposed.
"Turn up the steam to the maximum!"
With Renault's order, the steam turbine let out an almost crazy chirp, and the high temperature emitted by the casing made people dare not approach, and the entire workshop was filled with blazing white mist.
"Oh, Lord Renault, what the hell are you doing here?"
Hank wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, until now, he didn't know what the machine could do other than make smoke.
"Hank," said the successful operation of the turbine, putting him in a good mood, "and you soon see his greatness." ”
Hank looked at this strange thing that only squirted in disbelief, and thought to himself, could it be bigger than toilet paper?
If Renault knew that he compared a steam turbine to toilet paper, I wonder if he would be so angry that he vomited blood.
"Lord Renault, shouldn't you stop?"
Looking at the steam turbine as if it was about to fall apart, Ferrier felt a little distressed. After all, it was his painstaking efforts for several months, and if the first test was scrapped, he would be very distressed.
"No, let it continue. ”
The words did not fall, only the sharp grinding sound of the steam turbine was heard, the impeller suddenly stuck, and the casing seemed to be hit by a huge impact, jumping ten centimeters off the ground and then crashing to the ground.
The intake ducts were twisted and cracked, and the high-pressure steam from the interface caused everyone to take a few steps back.
"Turn off the valve!"
Ferré roared, and his heart ached as he circled around the turbine.
Finally, he returned to Renault in a dejected manner: "I'm sorry Lord Renault, this time I failed again." ”
"No, you succeeded, Fere. Now I announce that all owners of the machine shop will be given three days of paid leave, and rewards will be issued according to the degree of contribution. ”
This sentence made all the workers cheer, while Ferret looked at Renault in confusion. Obviously the test failed, why is he still so happy?
The most shocking thing was Hank.
I didn't know what this bulky thing was for, but the last beating was enough to show how powerful it was.
Such a large piece of iron is estimated that the strength of ten horses cannot move it, and Renault can make it jump with only some coal and water.
Staying in Black Iron Town was the right decision.
Looking at the back of Renault leaving in a hurry, Hawkeye Hank thought quietly. He believed that it would not take much time for Renault to give him a huge surprise.
Renault hurried back to his room, and at the moment when the turbine came to a screeching halt, Renault heard a ding.
It was the message sound of the mobile phone, which was so crisp and pleasant in the noisy workshop, and it directly touched his heart.
If it's just a "manufacturing" list update, there should be no such beep.
This sound means that the app has opened up new functions, just like when he learned to enchant, the app function added enchantments.
I don't know what the function is this time?
He turned on his phone with great anticipation, and sure enough, under the manufacturing page, a new option appeared - mechanical manufacturing.
Clicking on this page and looking at these strange and familiar names, Renault's scalp tingled with excitement.
Lathes, milling machines, planers, grinders, and drilling machines are limited to 3 units each, and steam engines, steam turbines, and boilers are manufactured up to 2 units.
To Renault's excitement, the query option on the main page of the app was finally opened.
He eagerly clicked in, and a familiar page popped up.
1000 degree search!
The search engine, which claims to be omnipotent, has actually appeared in this world!
Damn, this one is so awesome!
