Chapter 902: Steam Engine
He will continue to innovate and make trains the most important mode of transportation in Daming, truly changing people's lives!
The scene was extremely enthusiastic for a while, and the cheers of the crowd came and went.
Two officials couldn't help but join in the celebrations, applauding and praising the great invention.
"It's amazing! Chu Ze's train is faster than ten good horses! ”
"I didn't expect our Daming to have such advanced technology, it's incredible!"
"Trains will definitely become an extremely important new mode of transportation, and our lives will be changed by it!"
The enthusiastic response from officials and the public strengthened Chu Ze's determination to popularize the train.
He knew that as long as the people truly appreciated the convenience of the train, its prospects would be limitless.
"Lao Zhang, are you also excited when you hear their cheers?" Chu Ze said excitedly: "This proves that our hard work has been recognized, and the people are eager for trains to change their lives!" ”
"Yes, Lord Wang!" Lao Zhang reddened his eyes and said, "I've been waiting for this moment for too long!" I'm so proud that our hard work has finally come to fruition! ”
"You're right, we're just getting started!" Chu Ze said firmly: "There is still a long way to go in the future, we will let the train connect every corner of the country, so that the people can enjoy its convenience!" ”
"Yes! This is just the beginning, in the future, our trains will be all over the country! Lao Zhang is also full of confidence.
The two shook hands tightly and smiled at each other firmly.
They know that the success of the first train is only the first step towards a bright future.
There are countless more achievements ahead!
At the same time, the two court officials were also discussing hotly.
"This train is a new era of transportation revolution!" The middle-aged official said excitedly: "Its speed is far from comparable to that of a horse-drawn carriage!" ”
"That's right!" The young official chimed in: "Such an efficient new means of transportation will greatly shorten the transportation time, which will be of great benefit to the development of the country." ”
"After returning to the court, we must report in detail to Your Majesty and force the importance of the train." The middle-aged official said: "Enlist the strong support of the imperial court and popularize trains throughout the country!" ”
"Good! We must make Your Majesty understand the revolutionary significance of this invention! "Young officials are also full of fighting spirit.
The two of them imagined the bright prospect of the laying of trains throughout the country, and they both felt a great responsibility, and they must convince the imperial court that the development potential of the railway was unlimited.
The trial run of the first train not only shocked the public, but also left a deep impression on the two officials.
They are more aware that rail transportation is bound to be the mainstream of the future.
Chu Ze, on the other hand, is the key figure in promoting this progress.
The two looked at Chu Ze again, with only infinite admiration and gratitude in their hearts.
After the successful trial production of the train, Chu Ze knew that in order to truly realize the industrial revolution, it was not enough to rely on train transportation, but more importantly, it was necessary to vigorously develop small steam engines for production.
One day, he convened a meeting of craftsmen to discuss the design of a small steam engine.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have successfully prototyped a locomotive, but we still have a long way to go." Chu Ze said straight to the point: "Industries such as textiles and mechanical processing urgently need to use a large number of small steam engines in order to achieve innovation in production methods. ”
"So, our next goal was to design a variety of practical small steam engines."
"The prince is wise!" An old craftsman hurriedly said: "The small steam engine is indeed widely used, and it is of great significance to promote the development of the industry. We should immediately organize our efforts to design! ”
"That's right, that's right!" Other craftsmen chimed in: "If all industries can use steam engines, production efficiency will be greatly improved, and our industry will truly enter a new stage!" ”
"I already have some ......ideas here," Chu Ze said, spreading out the design drawings for everyone to see: "The structure of the small steam engine can be simplified with reference to our locomotive, but we must pay attention to precision control to ensure smooth operation." ”
"We also want to make the enclosure from a lighter material, which is easier to transport and install."
All the craftsmen came over to carefully examine Chu Ze's design plan and actively put forward their own ideas.
"If you use this high-strength steel material to make the boiler, you should be able to reduce the volume but output more power. I can do some experimentation to determine the best option. A middle-aged craftsman suggested.
"It's a very good idea!" Chu Ze praised repeatedly: "It is precisely to miniaturize without reducing the power at the same time." You test the best material solution as quickly as possible. ”
"Yes! I'm going to do my best! The craftsman was flattered and confident.
"I have also designed a new type of sliding bearing here," a young craftsman hurriedly said, "It should be possible to greatly improve the rotation efficiency of the steam engine, please watch the ......"
"Well, this bearing design is really novel and practical, and the power transmission will be more stable." Chu Ze looked at the design drawings and praised it and said: "This research will be handed over to you, strive to do it to the extreme!" ”
"Obey the king!" The young craftsman's eyes lit up and he vowed to do his best.
Everyone discussed various design plans and process details word by word, and the scene was very enthusiastic.
Under the careful guidance of Chu Ze, the craftsman team quickly entered the role and actively devoted themselves to the design and trial production of small steam engines.
With their previous experience in building trains, these craftsmen have made rapid progress.
"Lao Zhang, what do you think of the design of this small steam engine?" Chu Ze asked with a drawing.
Lao Zhang took the drawings and looked at them carefully, and couldn't help nodding again and again: "Lord Wang, your design is too exquisite!" With such a compact structure, it is a miracle that a small steam engine can achieve enough power! ”
Chu Ze listened to Lao Zhang's admiration, smiled slightly, and then put on a modest look and said: "Where, it's all thanks to you and me staying up all night these nights, everyone brainstormed to have such a design." ”
Lao Zhang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord Wang, you are too humble!" It's not all about your vision. We can just give us some suggestions, and you can understand and design such a sophisticated plan, which is really profound! ”
"Okay, Lao Zhang, we don't have to be humble to each other." Chu Ze patted Lao Zhang's shoulder with a smile and said, "With this design drawing, we will immediately start trial production of the first small steam engine." This is an important step to promote the industrialization of the entire Ming Dynasty! ”
"Yes! Obey the king's orders! Lao Zhang immediately put away his modest expression and looked very excited.
Within a few days, the first small steam engine was built.
Looking at the small silver-white steam engine placed on the test bench, everyone present was amazed. (End of chapter)
