166 trains
Second, Tang Hao and Tang Sanbar came to Wuhun City together, and the height of the building was also bright after seeing the off-road jeep, although the jeep is not as huge as the steam train, but it is better than the coincidence, compared with the convenience and practicality of the steam train, the car can become an extremely luxurious, symbolizing the status of the item.
Tang Hao took out the second-generation steam engine and demonstrated the advantages of the second-generation steam engine compared with the first-generation.
The two kinds of spring water in the eyes of ice and fire directly form high-temperature steam after the meeting, enter the slide valve chamber and cylinder, and push the piston to do work, compared with the first generation of steam engines, which needs to be ignited first and wait for the water to boil thoroughly, and the starting speed is more than ten times faster.
Moreover, this is equivalent to a shortened path, the thermal efficiency is also greatly improved into mechanical energy, and it is more powerful than the first generation of steam engines.
"The goal of the next stage is to replace the second-generation steam engine with this off-road jeep, or directly reproduce one, but the power source must use the second-generation steam engine, and after success, it can be sold and exhibited as an advanced commodity of the steam engine."
"In addition, Wuhun City also needs to be used as one of the symbols of the city in the future, so this modified model is also needed."
Tang Sangang took out two car models and handed them to his father and Lou Gao respectively, one was a model of the jeep at the scene, and the other was a model of a bus.
"This is a bus, that is, a vehicle that everyone can ride, it will travel on a fixed route in Wuhun City, making it convenient for people to travel and work, just like a steam train will travel between cities one after another, and buses will travel freely through the city."
Lou Gao looked at the ratio of the two vehicles, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, those streets! Looking at Tang Sanbar's smiling face again, he couldn't help but gasp.
"Hey, you're thinking so far ahead! The wide streets were designed for this kind of bus, otherwise there would be no one-way street with two or three horse-drawn carriages in parallel. ”
Tang Sanbar nodded, how could anyone who had never seen high-rise buildings and endless traffic imagine that the streets were designed like this, and in this era, there were no two-way lanes.
took out the upper and lower volumes of "Car Repair", each two fingers thick, and handed it to his father and Lou Gao again,
"These two books will help you better understand the various systems of the vehicle, and after reading it, you can exchange them with each other, and there are some electrified words in it, just ignore it if you don't understand it, and the second-generation steam-powered vehicle doesn't need that thing."
"In addition, engine repair can also be ignored, this kind of engine is not suitable for development here."
Tang Hao heard a hint of clues, but he didn't say much, these items seemed to know that they didn't belong to any era of the Douluo Continent, where did the son get it, not here, naturally it didn't refer to Wuhun City or Douluo Continent, so where did it refer to.
It's getting more and more mysterious.
Lou Gao nodded, he was worried about the passion of having nothing to do after the completion of the steam train and no research and development, and then there was another car, a steam-powered vehicle, which was indeed quite interesting, and it seemed that he could also design the style of the vehicle by himself.
As long as there are four wheels and a second-generation steam engine, isn't it like how to change it?
Steam trains are also limited by railways, but these cars are not limited and can go wherever they want.
"Leave it to us, my favorite thing is to make this kind of complex machine, but there is one more thing I want to trouble Young Master Tang."
"You're welcome, but it's okay."
"I don't have enough blacksmiths from Gengxin City, so I can get some more people over."
Tang Sangang smiled slightly, pointing in the direction of the Pope's Palace, "This is naturally okay, as long as you apply to the Pope's Palace, someone will contact you and arrange everything after it is passed." Wuhun City has a very mature government affairs processing organization, and you must believe in their efficiency. ”
"In fact, Old Man Lou, you are still the chief person in charge of the Metallurgical Department of Wuhun City."
"Metallurgical Department?"
"That's right, it's a manager similar to the finance ministers of the two empires, you can take care of the work related to metal smelting, and by the way, Dad, you are also the chief of the Ministry of Industry."
Tang Hao smiled and shook his head, "I'm still working for you as a stink." ”
Tang Sangang laughed, "It's all for a better Ming, and I'm also working for all the people." ”
"It's just a different form of serving the people."
Seven Queens,
In the incomprehensible eyes of the people of Wuhun City, the railroad tracks were finally laid, and in the eyes of everyone, laying the best steel ingots directly on the ground was simply a loser, how could there be such a waste.
But then, both the Pope's Palace and the newspapers publicly announced that Wuhun City had cooperated with the Blacksmiths Guild of Gengxin City to produce a machine, led by Master Lou Gao, a divine craftsman, and that it would be put into trial operation later, and that those parallel iron ingots laid on the road would be rails, and the new machine would be transported on the rails
As soon as the news came out, everyone was very strange, most of the civilians didn't know that there was actually an organization called the Blacksmith Association, and only the caravans who came and went knew the name of the Divine Craftsman Tower, but they didn't expect to cooperate with Wuhun City, and they didn't know what novel weapons would be forged.
Everyone was eagerly awaiting, waiting for the masterpiece of the craftsman to appear on the railroad tracks.
So after two years of brewing, the steam train is finally about to come out!
Outside the factory in the Wuhun City Industrial Zone, many caravans and residents of Wuhun City were already looking forward to seeing through the railroad tracks, and everyone was waiting for something to come out of the factory. On both sides of the tracks, there are soul masters from the Wuhun Hall guarding them at intervals, preventing people from being frightened when they see the steam train and running to the tracks in a panic.
Among the crowd, Dai Mubai, Oscar and others, as well as the master, Tang Sankong's parents, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were among them, waiting for the train in the distant factory to leave the house.
The steam train in the factory has been ignited, and five cars are hung behind the front of the locomotive, the first car carries all the people involved in the construction of the steam train, and the second to fifth cars are cargo boxes, all loaded with iron ore. Used to test how powerful the steam train is.
"How's it going, are you ready?" Tang Sangang asked with a smile,
Lou Gao's heart was surging, and he was excited to look at the front of the car with billowing steam, "Naturally, I'm ready!" ”
"Then let's start it, I guess I can't wait outside!"
"Good!"
Lou Gao jumped up and got into the cab, his apprentice was already standing inside, and Tang Sangang entered the passenger compartment, said hello to all the workers, and sat on the simple bench by himself, the carriage had not had time to install the glass windows, beside him was the fire dance that had worked hard for a long time, and he was impatient sitting on the wooden bench, like a child in a very small car.
"Why hasn't the train left yet, how long have you been waiting?" Fire Dance asked,
"After all, for the first test drive, everything has to be comprehensively checked, and Mr. Lou has already gone to the cab."
When Tang Sangang was chatting with Huo Wu, he suddenly heard a long howl,
Woooooooo
The steam train roared, the flame of the combustion chamber boiled, the building height pulled down the starting lever, and the high-pressure steam rushed into the cylinders on both sides of the locomotive, as the steam inside became more and more, the terrifying pressure gradually forced the piston out of its original position, and then drove the connecting rod connected to the wheel, the wheel began to rotate slowly, and the train also acted.
At first, the speed was very slow, but as the steam engine completed a stroke, Tang Sanbar heard the sound of the tower that he had only heard in the movie before, which meant that the cylinder was constantly accelerating, and when the tower sound became more and more dense, the speed of the train gradually increased.
Speed is even more powerful, but weight determines momentum! When the multi-ton steam train raises its speed to 40 kilometers per hour, it roars with the momentum of no one else! Rushing towards the caravan and the people of Wuhun City who were watching, when the steam train approached, the huge size, cold black, made everyone fearful!
"What the hell is this?"
"Run! It's going to crash! ”
The caravan and civilians immediately retreated away from the tracks, eager to have two more legs, until they were in a position where they thought it was safe, while Tang Hao did not move, letting the galloping steam train pass by like gusts, and the white mist followed the departing train into the distance, Tang Hao also saw the son who came out of the probe, and the iron ore in the four carriages behind,
Tang Sanbar poked his head out and greeted the people who were still standing in place, with a shocked face, and the train kept making a very regular plopping sound, which was produced when the cracks in the rails came into contact with the wheels. Everyone in the carriage cheered indulgently, and after nearly a year of hard work, it finally became famous today.
The master and the others set off huge waves in their hearts, they couldn't believe it, they couldn't imagine that it was only a year before the end of the Soul Master Competition, how did Tang Sangang make this huge steel beast, that pitch-black metallic luster, I'm afraid that the whole body is made of steel, this kind of beast takes action, who dares to collide head-on!
The merchants of the caravan were shocked, but they noticed the pedestrians in the carriage, as well as the iron ore behind them, this kind of transportation capacity, ten carriages could not catch up!
This is the real big business opportunity!
I was already thinking about how to buy this steel beast, a million gold soul coins? Or two million Golden Soul Coins?
The train circled around the industrial area on the tracks and finally returned to the factory, but Lou Gao did not stop here, but after seeing the crowd waiting outside the factory again, he sounded the whistle and reduced the fire, and the train gradually slowed down, and finally stopped in front of everyone.
Seeing this steel beast lying on the ground and spitting out white smoke, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was a human-controlled machine, the fear disappeared, and the crowd gradually gathered around, watching the rough body of the steam train up close.
Lou Gao took the lead in jumping out of the cab, and many businessmen saw that Lou Gao had long been unable to hold it, and immediately stepped forward to surround him tightly.
"Master Lou Gao, Master Lou Gao, what is the name of this steel beast! Did you design it? ”
"And also, this pitch-black color, is it made of steel all over? How much forging steel does this cost! ”
Lou Gao smiled meaningfully, and said heroically: "This is a steam train with a steam engine as the power source!" It's called Lou Gao! It is a masterpiece shared by the Blacksmiths Guild and Wuhun City! The whole body is made of steel and weighs more than 100 tons! ”
"You poor devils! Don't think you'll be able to buy it! ”
