Chapter 157: The Steam Engine

This time, the main purpose of Vijaya and his party was also achieved, and Wang Lishuang had nothing to do, thinking that since there was nothing to do, it would be better to toss the new machine. At present, the main means of transportation for Cham is the horse-drawn carriage, which is not fast and takes an excessively long time to get from one city to another. However, the speed of the Cham carriage is still much faster than that of other countries, after all, the current world power can not do the national road in order, and there is the discovery of cement, cement road repair can be more suitable, and the flat road surface can also greatly provide the speed of the carriage driving on it.

It can be said that at present, whether it is transporting materials or carrying people, Cham has stood at the top of the world, and even the room for progress is already very small, if you want to have large-scale progress, you have to start from the car, this time Wang Lishuang is studying the steam engine, in fact, he also knows the general principle of the internal combustion engine, but there is no gasoline as an energy source, and even oil cannot be extracted, and others have to separate gasoline from oil.

The steam engine can be used as a power source to supply energy to trains and ships, of course, it can also be used in the car, but the weight is difficult to control, after all, it is necessary to drive with a box of coal to start, after all, the speed of the car has been carried to have an impact, but this shortcoming can be ignored if it is in front of the steam train and the steam ship, after all, the train is mainly transportation, and the steam engine is used to liberate manpower, the priority is obvious, as for the steam ship, the speed of the crew rowing the ship can catch up with the machine, and the wind energy has always taken you forward as you wish?

No, so the steam engine became Wang Lishuang's primary research machine, the steam engine energy transmission is transmitted through gears and pistons, gear pistons have not appeared in this world, so the production of these parts is the first priority.

On the first day, Wang Lishuang took care of the design of gears, the angle of the gears has its subtlety, and it is also very important to ensure that they can mesh with each other steadily, Wang Lishuang has not seen the production of gears in his previous life, so he can only use stupid methods to see the iron into an imaginary shape, the design of the gears is slightly simpler, and the worm is the more difficult thing.

Fortunately, Wang Lishuang successfully designed the two parts on the third day, the gear was made by a stupid method, and the worm was welded with an iron rod and the parts on the other side that had been designed to be meshed, of course, it was not the welding of later generations, but the welding technology commonly used now. After testing, Wang Lishuang asked people to take it and summoned craftsmen to use the casting method to produce parts.

The following is the design of the cylinder block, the cylinder is a high-temperature gas, through the pressure to push the piston downward, the piston is connected to the connecting rod, the rod also rotates to drive the gear to rotate, so the cylinder body must be enough to accommodate these parts, the cylinder design time is much less, he probably measured the size of the craftsman to start working.

The last is the design of the piston, the piston is a special part, can not be designed at will, must ensure that it matches the cylinder block, everything is ready just seven days, that is, to the day of the transfer of power.

Wang Lishuang was woken up by the maid early in the morning, the time is really not long, the handover ceremony will be officially held at eight o'clock in the future, two hours is just enough to be busy.

Liberty Square --

Freedom Square was built during the reign of the Liberty Plaza, and later became a check-in spot for many tourists, and today there is an endless stream of people coming to Freedom Square, and of course, there are many reporters interspersed with interviews with spectators.

"Hello, sir."

"Hello."

"What's your last name?"

"My surname is Chen."

"Mr. Chen, why are you queuing up here early in the morning?"

"You're not? Of course, everyone who comes here is here to see the excitement. ”

The reporter snorted, this is an interview, hey.

Mr. Chen looked at the posture behind the reporter and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"We're journalists."

"Oh, journalist. Wait, when I didn't say it before, I'll do it again. Mr. Chen coughed and cleared his throat and said, "That's right, today is the handover day, and I'm here to witness history." ”

The reporter laughed angrily, and then he asked a few more questions and went to the next one.

Wang Lishuang is wearing a formal dress that has not been worn once for 800 years, and he generally does not wear formal clothes in the last dynasty, there are a lot of gold and silver jewelry on it, and the clothes are too heavy compared to the usual ordinary clothes, although the shiny ones are indeed very good-looking.

"What's the ritual process today?" Wang Lishuang asked.

"Didn't they tell you?" This is the maid who helped him get dressed.

"Who told me?" Wang Lishuang was confused.

"Butler, our whole palace knows about these things."

"I'm the only one in the dark, forget it, you can talk to me now." Wang Lishuang smiled.

"The process is like this, first of all, the report of your time in office, then the goals of the new government, etc., and finally the actual handover ceremony." The maid introduced.

"I'll go, there are so many processes, I thought it would be my business if I handed it over." Wang Lishuang grimaced.

"It's not over yet, you still need to speak after the ceremony."

"Ahh Wang Lishuang scratched his head.

The maid carefully arranged Wang Lishuang's hair and said, "I don't know much about this, I know so much, you'd better ask others." ”

"Go and call me the housekeeper, and I'll take care of it myself." Wang Lishuang gently pushed her away, got up and tidied herself up in the mirror.

The maid didn't have any ink, so she hurriedly ran out.

Wang Lishuang saw that there was no one, so he immediately grabbed it casually twice, put on the jewelry three or two times and lay on the sofa behind. He now needs to think about what he wants to say in his speech and report, and he can't let the country follow him in a bad way.

Soon the butler and the maid arrived, and when he heard the footsteps, he quickly got up and pretended to tidy up again.

"Your Highness, you're looking for me."

"Butler, why didn't anyone tell me about related matters?" Wang Lishuang stared at the housekeeper.

"The old minister deserves death." Wang Lishuang could see that the housekeeper was already sweating.

"Forget it, let me ask you, what is the situation of that report and the speech, I understand the rest clearly."

The housekeeper said: "The report was compiled by the six ministries and has been reviewed by the government, and the original prime minister, Lord Rapp, will read the report at that time." ”

Wang Lishuang nodded and said, "Then I'll only be responsible for the speech." ”
