Chapter 262: Steam Turbines
The young man is estimated to be less than eighteen years old.
With a clean face, it is not an exaggeration to describe the other party's Bai Yulang whose family it is.
However, it is such a young man who can jump out of his own framework.
I took the initiative to study different steam engines.
Regardless of whether the other party's direction is right or not, just relying on this spirit is already very commendable.
Not to mention......
His steam and wheel blades rotate really fast.
"How about this thing be called a steam turbine in the future?"
Li Zhong said.
And the young man who was less than eighteen years old also looked Li Chong up and down carefully and carefully.
I don't know who Li Chong is.
Of course, like Li Zhi and others, he knows.
At this time, the old craftsman on the side introduced to Li Chong: "Dean, this is Kang Zhude's son, the youngest in his family."
Li Chong also said, "Is that Kang Zhude the first batch of craftsmen of our Academy of Sciences?"
The old craftsman said, "Yes, but unfortunately Kang Zhude died after a serious illness ten years ago, and this kid was not even eight years old at the time."
The old craftsman had not finished his next words.
Seeing the Bai Yulang on the other side, he looked at Li Chong excitedly: "You are the dean!?"
When Li Chong heard his excited words, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "What? Not like?"
Then the other party was like a fan seeing an idol, and he was so excited that he almost jumped. In the end, he saluted Li Zhong respectfully and said, "Kang Xinggan has met the dean, Xinggan has long heard of the dean's name, and he admires the dean very much."
Li Chong said, "Hmm...... It's the first time I've heard that in all these years."
The old craftsman said, "Actually, we all admire the dean very much, but we don't say anything."
Kang Xinggan also said, "Why are you here, Dean?"
Li Chong: "Ahem! Visit. At the same time, it is also to come and see you. For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, for the sake of the Liao Kingdom, and for the sake of the people, you have worked hard all these years."
Old craftsman: "We don't work hard."
Li Chong: "Don't hold on, I know everything."
After saying this, Li Chong continued, "This thing is very well done."
Li pointed to the steam turbine.
Kang Xinggan felt a little lost, "The dean also thinks it's very good?"
Li Chong: "Well, what? You don't have confidence in yourself?"
Kang Xinggan also said, "I also think it's good, it's just ...... It's just a model, and it doesn't have practical value."
Li Chong encouraged him, "It's okay, in fact, all the inventions in the world, when they were first invented, did not have any practical value."
"It's all about going through step-by-step improvements to finally achieve satisfactory results."
"I think this turbine is very good, and it can be used to generate electricity."
Everyone was full of big questions about Li Chong's words.
Li Chong said, "The so-called power generation is the kind of thunder and lightning in the sky. Of course, it's certainly not that powerful."
"Just use a magnet with a magnet, add a coil in the middle, and match the high speed of your steam turbine to generate electricity."
….
"There are many uses for electricity, and even more so than steam."
Everyone didn't know what Li Chong was talking about.
After all......
They had no idea what Li Chong was saying in their heads.
Looking at their bewildered expressions, Li Chong also said, "Work hard! Just because you can't use it now doesn't mean you won't be able to use it in the future. Every accumulation of knowledge you do today will have a huge impact on the future. Maybe someday in the future, so-and-so
In a moment, it will produce effects that you cannot imagine."
Everyone can only say, not knowing how to feel.
But he deserves to be the dean.
It was all words they didn't understand.
This shows that there is still a lot of gap between them and the dean.
They could see the deep wisdom in the dean's face.
After Li Zhong finished speaking, he also said, "Speaking of which, what about the loom?"
The old craftsman also led the way: "This way."
And then......
Li Chong went to visit the next stop.
Steam loom!
In the past, only very simple monochrome silk cloth could be woven.
There is no way to weave a pattern on the top of the cloth.
Later, after learning the technology of the jacquard machine, and then improving it, it is now possible to automatically weave silk cloth with simple patterns according to the rules.
And......
In the future, it will definitely develop in the direction of becoming more and more complex.
After all, silk cloth, of course, the more complex it looks, the easier it is to be liked.
After visiting all the places, the next day, this Kang Xinggan couldn't help but come to Li Chong to ask for advice in person.
Li Zhong told the other party about the principle of power generation, and, by the way, slightly improved his steam turbine.
Since the steam utilization rate of this impeller is not high, you can add a few more.
Also, this gap should be made as small as possible, so that the impact is strong enough.
The pressure inside the nozzle and boiler should also continue to rise.
Of course!
As a result, the boiler is prone to explosion due to high pressure and temperature.
For this reason, the material had to be upgraded as well.
After Li Chong's explanation, Kang Xinggan felt the insignificance of his vision.
Moreover, materials science alone is enough for him to learn for a lifetime.
"Where can I find the stronger material?"
Kang Xinggan asked.
Li Chong: "You have to find this yourself. Adding different metals or metal ores to different molten iron will produce different effects. There is no shortcut to this, and it can only be tried little by little."
"That's why I founded Science Journal. After all, the power of one person is small, but if there are a bunch of people doing all kinds of research at the same time, then the efficiency will be faster."
"You need to publish your research results in science newspapers as much as possible, so that everyone can learn from each other and work together, so that science and technology can develop faster."
I saw Kang Xinggan's teachable expression.
In the next half a year, in addition to taking four concubines around to visit the unique scenery of Liaodong, taste the wild fruits of Liaodong's specialties, and enjoy the joy of teasing his grandson, what Li Chong did the most during this period was to help Kang Xinggan improve the steam turbine.
By the following year, that is, in the spring of the tenth year of Yanping, the steam turbine had changed dramatically, and the powerful power was like the sound of a motor on the racing track, which was shocking to listen to.
Just listening to it, you can already feel how high the speed is.
And after the final result came out, all the craftsmen had to admire Li Zhong even more. Especially those young people who had never seen Li Chong from the beginning, but migrated from the Tang Dynasty and then entered the Academy of Sciences.
It turns out that this is the strength of the president of the Academy of Sciences!
In just half a year, the steam water wheel of Kang Xinggan was turned into a steam turbine.
Although they are still in the model stage, they have already seen a completely new path.
