Chapter 224: The Aftermath of the Steam Engine

Jiang Chao patted Murong Mingxuan's shoulder, his apprentice and brother-in-law were not in vain.

During his absence, if there was no one to preside over it, it is estimated that he would not be able to make the components of the original steam engine.

Now, it depends on whether this thing can run after it is fully assembled, and if it does, Jiang Chao will transform it.

Build a steam press machine first, if you have a steam press machine, you can produce more steam presses, and then the steam machine can be used for various purposes.

For example, steam lathes! With a steam lathe, it would not be a problem to make a barrel, and even a barrel could be produced.

At that time, the barrel could replace the rough barrel that had been cast in the early stage of inverted molding. Moreover, the shell will no longer be made to ignite the fuse to explode.

Shells will now be able to create trigger shells. However, it is unlikely that mass production will be possible in a short period of time.

As long as Jiang Chao is given more than a year, it should be possible to achieve preliminary mass production. Maybe even a gun can be made.

At present, the river tide is smokeless gunpowder.

Like the current black powder, there is too much smoke and dust after the explosion, and there will be a lot of residue, which will clog the barrel for a long time.

Compared to black powder, smokeless gunpowder has a huge advantage.

I don't know how Jiang Yun's research is going, and after Jiang Chao returned to the mountain village, he never had time to go to Jiang Yun's place to have a look.

After returning to the mountain village this time, there must be a good place to go to Jiangyun.

Murong Mingxuan saw the smile on Jiang Chao's face, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He hurriedly commanded the crowd again to start assembling.

Dong Liyue on the side didn't know what Jiang Chao asked Murong Mingxuan to do, her eyes were full of curiosity.

"Jiang Lang, what is this going to assemble?!"

Hearing Dong Liyue's question, Jiang Chao smiled, and said with a mysterious look in his eyes: "When it's assembled, you'll know." ”

Seeing that Jiang Chao didn't tell her, Dong Liyue glanced at Jiang Chao with some dissatisfaction. But her eyes were full of love.

She was full of surprises for Jiang Chao's whimsical ideas and amazing discoveries.

Although Jiang Chao didn't tell her what this assembled thing would be, she believed that this thing would definitely be extraordinary.

It's like the watermill on the edge of the river.

It's just that she doesn't know what kind of changes this thing will bring to the Yelang clan. However, she believed that this thing would definitely make the Yoro Clan different.

After several hours of assembly, a crude steam engine was assembled. About two meters high, two meters wide, and three meters long, the body is placed there.

Among them there is a place where charcoal is burned, and then there is a place for the steam power output. Since it is a steam molding machine. The position of the power output is, of course, dominated by impact hammering.

The huge hammer head is designed to be replaceable. There are several heads of various shapes.

Murong Mingxuan asked people to pour water into the steam water tank, and then asked people to burn a fire underneath.

Time passed little by little, and after about half an hour, steam began to leak out of the steam gate on the roof.

Murong Mingxuan pulled down the door, and when the steam was released, it was accompanied by a buzzing sound, which made the blacksmiths and Dong Liyue present shocked.

They couldn't make out what it was, but it was deafening. It's terrifying.

If it were now, most of you should have heard it, it was the whistle of a steam train. Or the whistle of a steamer.

After the humming, Murong Mingxuan came to Jiang Chao's side, and he said respectfully and happily to Jiang Chao: "Master, you should be the first person to start this steam engine!" ”

This is a commemorative event, Murong Mingxuan feels that it should be from Jiang Chao. After all, this thing was designed by Jiang Chao.

When Jiang Chao heard this, he didn't refuse, and he was also a little excited. The advent of the steam engine will change the whole era. Let the society progress a lot.

The advent of the steam age will allow the whole society to enter the pure industrial age at the fastest speed. Then, there's the electric age. Finally, step into the age of technology.

He walked to the steam engine, put his hand on the rocker, and on the other side, Murong Mingxuan had already instructed someone to put a piece of freshly burned iron into the hammer.

Jiang Chao pushed the rocker, and the huge hammer head on the hammer fell down at an alarming speed in an instant.

Bang...... With a loud bang, the astonishing energy made the people present unconsciously retreat.

Everyone looked at the lost pieces that had been hammered out in amazement, and everyone's eyes were full of disbelief.

The blow that had just been hammered by the steam engine would have taken at least a day if it had been hammered by man. It can't even be hammered so flat.

Just when everyone was stunned, Jiang Chao took advantage of the fact that the iron was still red, and shook the rocker several times in a row.

The hammer head was hammered more than a dozen times, and the iron hammer was almost flattened. Everyone looked at all this stupidly, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Dong Liyue was also stunned and looked at the steam engine, with a joy in his eyes.

She could see the power of this steam engine, she was a smart person, she saw the long term better than others, and she knew better what Jiang Chao wanted to make this thing for.

She even saw the power that burst out of the machine, which was so amazing. If it were applied elsewhere, he could imagine what would happen.

Jiang Chao nodded with satisfaction and patted Murong Mingxuan.

This steam engine is too rough, although it is very good, but it is estimated that the service life will not be too long, and the next thing to build is a steam bed.

With today's steam press, the relevant components of the steam lathe can be stamped and hammered.

With a stamping lathe, the technology of the steam engine itself will also be updated. The steam engine that will be built later will become more and more perfect.

This first steam engine, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be eliminated.

After encouraging Murong Mingxuan again, Jiang Chao gave Murong Mingxuan a bunch of drawings related to steam engines. as well as instructions.

The matter of the steam engine, he decided to hand it over to Murong Mingxuan, and next, he will go back to the mountain village to see how the smokeless gunpowder research is.

As long as there is a direction and a theory, it is not difficult to make smokeless gunpowder, which is much faster than groping.

Dong Liyue sent Jiang Chao to the dock, she looked at Jiang Chao with reluctance, opened her mouth, and she couldn't say anything if she wanted to stay.

She knew that Jiang Chao had his own business to do, and all she could do was to keep the foundation of the Yelang clan.

"I'll take a good look at here, you...... Come back early, we'll wait for you......" She said to Jiang Chao affectionately with tears in her eyes.

His sentence that we are waiting for you did not make Jiang Chao think too much, Jiang Chao just thought that Dong Liyue was talking about the rest of the Yelang clan.
