Inside a workshop in Shaofu.

At this time, the air was quiet, and only a rather large machine was placed on the ground.

This machine looks rather hideous on the outside.

There were many rivets attached to it, as well as exposed connecting rods.

There are also many crankshafts.

It looks very simple, but it has a steampunk aesthetic from top to bottom.

I have to say.

Primitive industrial machinery looks just as beautiful.

on its rough appearance.

The machines of the big industrial age, the bare gears, and the huge couplings.

and the loud sound it makes when it activates.

It's all so shocking.

It's not like industrial equipment in the electric age.

It doesn't seem to have the slightest sense of intimidation.

At this moment, he looked at the huge steel beast in front of him.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

Then he couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion, he said.

"This thing looks quite scary, and I'm afraid it uses a lot of steel, it should be at least a few thousand catties of iron!"

"Father is wise!"

After hearing the words of Win Zheng.

Win Changsheng nodded again and again.

He explained to Yingzheng.

"The total weight of this steam engine consumes more than 6,730 catties of steel!"

"It's so heavy!"

After hearing so heavy.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but gasp.

He said with emotion.

"Fortunately, there is no shortage of steel in my Great Qin now, if it was before, the amount of steel consumed to cast such a steam engine alone would be enough to arm hundreds of soldiers!"

Yes, a steam engine weighing more than 6,000 pounds.

It's not that heavy.

Because of this large machinery.

It's only three tons.

What's that?

To know.

In later generations, the weight of any truck was so heavy.

I only heard Ying Changsheng say to Ying Zheng with a smile.

"Although it consumes a lot of steel, compared to the effect it can produce, what is this steel, and my father doesn't know that this steam engine will be built in the future, bigger and heavier!"

"The number of steam engines in the future may reach tens of thousands of catties and hundreds of thousands of catties!"

After hearing the number that Ying Changsheng said.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but gasp.

He felt.

That's just too much.

To know how much steel was produced each year before.

But you know that such a steam engine consumes so much steel.

This is in such an era of backward productivity.

It really made the winning government inexplicably shocked.

And it also made him a little worried.

With so much consumption, can a steam engine made of fine steel play its due role?

Thinking of winning politics here, I can't help but want to take a look at the effect of the steam engine.

I saw him wave his hand.

Said to Ying Changsheng in front of him.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and start this steam engine, and let me see what this steam engine is for!"

"Then Father, just take your time!"

Ying Changsheng said with a smile, and then waved his hand and signaled to the craftsman next to him.

"Start this steam engine right now!"

"Yes."

The trained craftsman nodded on the side.

Immediately the first to start the blower next to a plate of boilers.

This blower is for air blowing.

After all, the steam engine is burned with coal, and the abundance of sharpness can make the coal burn sufficiently.

This blower does not require human labor.

In the beginning, the power source on it was clockwork.

And when the steam engine is started.

Steam power will make it above the power of the blower.

In this way, a lot of manpower can be saved.

I only saw the blower after it was activated.

The workers then shoveled shovels of coal into the boiler of the steam engine and into the furnace below.

Then he poured some alcohol inside.

Alcohol has been produced on a large scale by the current Daxian.

It's not a rare thing anymore.

After a spill of alcohol.

Can be used as fuel.

It can ignite the coal quickly.

After only seeing that the alcohol had been spilled, the worker immediately took out the fire fold in his hand.

Then the alcohol was ignited.

In an instant, the alcohol on the coal in the boiler burned violently, and then the coal was quickly burned.

Under the action of the blower, the fire in the boiler burns rapidly.

The flames also went up.

At the same time, the blowers were wound several times over time.

At this time.

inside the boiler.

The steam is finally out.

With that steam pressure port above.

Intense steam came out.

For a moment, there was smoke all around.

In Ying Zheng's shocked gaze, the workers next to the steam engine.

Then the switch was moved, and steam was introduced into the piston.

For a time, under the action of steam, the piston inside the steam cylinder.

Start moving up and down.

Random.

The connecting rod was driven, and the connecting rod drove the crankshaft above, the flywheel next to the steam engine.

Spinning rapidly.

It's getting faster and faster.

The trajectory of its activities can no longer be seen.

It's about winning politics.

A look of surprise.

After watching Ying Zheng for a while, I have seen the power of this steamer machine.

Ying Changsheng immediately said to Ying Zheng.

"What does my father think of this?"

"That's really good!"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

Then he said to Ying Changsheng on the side.

"How exactly does this machine start, what does it do, such a great force, it must find a use, otherwise it will not be a waste just to let him idle here?"

"Father, Emperor Yingming, and his sons think the same way!"

Ying Changsheng then nodded at Ying Zheng.

Truly.

The steam engine was invented, but there is still a problem to consider, that is, how to apply the steam engine to practice.

It would be a waste if such a machine was only used for performance.

After all, so much coal is consumed in a single start.

And that much steel is consumed.

It would be a waste to just use it.

We have to do everything we can to put it into practice.

I only heard Win Changsheng explain to Win Zheng.

"The effect of this steam engine is very good, as for what its principle is, it is very simple to say, it is nothing more than the burning of coal and then the evaporation of water to produce water vapor, and the water vapor will generate power under high pressure, so it will push the machine ......"

"I see!"

Ying Zheng actually half understood it, but that didn't stop him from thinking he understood.

I only heard Ying Zheng say.

"So what's the use of this thing, march to war, this thing is too bulky to carry, as for other places......"

Speaking of winning politics, he frowned and thought hard.

And Ying Changsheng has already said it, the purpose of a steam engine.

He said with a smile.

"The steam engine can be used in many places, but this needs to be studied, and it needs to be made to match the machinery, Erchen has made the simplest machinery here, I don't know if you want to see it? See? ”
