Is it similar to mechanical engineering? Maier just wanted to shake his head, but suddenly stopped again, and said to the old man, "It's not a study, but the old man might as well talk about it." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The reason why this is so is because Meier was not a mechanical engineering major in his previous life, and his understanding of more in-depth mechanical knowledge is very limited, and he can only say that he knows a little about the surface.

So at first Maier was reluctant to respond to Kochakin's questions.

But then I thought about it, the world is still in the age of steam, and the mechanical aspect should not be too advanced, and listening to Kochagin's question can also help me understand how far the world has developed.

Kochagin took a piece of paper from the notice board, handed it to Maier, and said, "That's the problem. ”

Mel took it and looked at it carefully.

This is a diagram of a Newcomen steam engine, but it is a little different from the drawings of the Newcomen steam engine that Mel had seen in his previous life, and this diagram has a little more magic on it.

Mel nodded, the efficiency of the Newcommen steam engine is very low, and in order to really use it, it will not only produce a large amount of incomplete combustibles, but also need more combustibles.

But with the addition of magic, these shortcomings were slightly hidden, almost to the extent of the steam engine that Mel had improved in his previous life, Vali, and even beyond.

This is also the reason why steam power can be used as one of the main means of transportation on the eastern side of the Red Sea.

However, alchemists have always been a profession full of desire to explore, and they will not be satisfied with the fact that they can use something, but want to do better.

This is clearly the case with Kochagin.

"Is Mr. Kochagin the inventor of the steam engine?"

Kochagin's face turned red and said, "I don't have this ability, the steam engine is an invention of Master Varian, and I have only been working on the steam engine recently." ”

"I feel that the efficiency of the steam engine seems to be a bit insufficient, and a lot of energy is wasted inside the steam engine, and I think there should be a way to improve it, but there is no idea. ”

Mel glanced at Kochagin, this was indeed one of the major shortcomings of the Newkomen steam engine, and later Watt also used a series of measures to improve it.

Mel had seen Watt's improvements, but at this moment, Mel would not have said it to Kochagin right away, because Mel's memory of those things was also vague and needed to be recalled for a certain amount of time.

At this point, Meyer made only a slight suggestion: "If you can put the condensation of the steam out of the tank, you may save some energy." ”

Kochakin's eyes lit up suddenly.

Condensation in the cylinder is indeed the cause of low thermal efficiency, and if the condensation can be placed outside the cylinder, then the problem is self-defeating, and no other consideration is required.

It's a good idea, why didn't you think of it?

However, Kochagin suddenly frowned again, but how can we achieve condensation outside the cylinder? Is it not realistic to put the condenser directly outside the cylinder?

Kochagin looked at Maier.

Maier shook his head and said, "I only have this idea for the time being, and I don't know exactly how to do it, so it's up to you." ”

Kochagin nodded, then looked at Maier, and said, "Meier, thank you!"

Without waiting for Maier to respond, he made a series of actions, sending the points of the bounty to Maier, and the next moment, Kochagin's figure disappeared into the square.

Obviously, Kochakin, who was inspired, couldn't wait to research and experiment.

Maier glanced at his alchemist badge and left the alchemist square as well.

Mel had already made a decision about what to do next, and as a mage, especially a mage who was still improving, resources were essential.

On the eastern side of the Red Sea, resources and points are equal.

So Mel had to earn as many points as he could.

There are about four ways for regular magicians to obtain points, the first is to receive tasks, which generally cover many areas, such as going out to hunt for certain resources, guarding the safety of a certain convoy, and so on.

Second, the assistant of the researcher, whether it is an alchemist or other scholars, needs an assistant to help with some relatively simple work.

The third option is to apply for a job in the Magic Council, but this kind of job is generally more competitive and requires a relatively good talent in some area.

Maier's previous position as a guest teacher at Belize College is one of them.

Fourth, apply for a job in another private place, for example, a certain magic shop, for example, a private research institute established by a magician, etc.

These four methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is impossible to say who is good and who is bad, but it is just suitable for different magicians.

But Maier has now found another path that suits him, in terms of equipment, although he didn't know much in his previous life, he still knows some ordinary and conventional things.

And the industry of this world is almost in its infancy, so there may be many things that you have mastered that can be useful in this world.

In this case, why should you work for others, you can invent something yourself, and then find a partner to produce this thing and promote it to society.

In this case, the points obtained should be much stronger than the work of others.

At this point, Maier began to seriously recall.

After a short time, Maier took out a pen and paper and wrote down some key points of Watt's improved steam engine, and then he only had to test and correct them.

Once it is successfully improved, it is 100% a matter to bring it to market, and there is no reason why the market would reject a better steam engine, unless the company that made it wants to go out of business.

In addition, steam cars may also become popular, which in turn will bring in a lot of revenue.

However, in the final analysis, he is only a second-level magician after all, and there is no power behind him, can he save the huge profits from the improvement of the steam engine?

This is a critical question.

Even if you stand in the camp of the magicians, even if the camp of the magicians seems fair and just, the huge interests will always bewitch people's hearts and make things change.

Perhaps, you can try to invent something smaller first.

Or wait until you become an intermediate magician, and establish a master-apprentice relationship with a high-level magician, or a great magician, so that you can better protect your own interests.

With this in mind, Maier put the page back in the drawer and kept it, with no intention of taking it out for the time being. (To be continued.) )
