How was the steam engine born?

Zhu Gaochi is a master of theory, and he needs excellent craftsmen to turn his theories into reality.

There is no need to take detours, such as using gunpowder to remove air, which is not in line with the current productivity, is too advanced, and will be eliminated by the times.

"Either we leave a small amount of water at the bottom of the vessel and a movable plug on the top of the inside of the vessel."

"Then heat it with a fire at the bottom, boil the water dry, you can give it a try."

Wan San said excitedly: "Okay." His eyes were full of admiration.

How long is the head of the eldest prince, his thinking seems to be imaginative, like an antelope hanging horns.

Where is God appreciating food to eat, this is God chasing after feeding food.

Not only Wansan, but the rest of the craftsmen admired the five bodies and threw themselves to the ground, each convinced.

The solution that people couldn't think of was solved by the eldest prince at once.

Who hasn't seen boiling water?

But no one thought of this method.

Technological progress sometimes comes in a flash of inspiration.

For example, Dr. Joseph Needham, an Englishman, did a lot of systematic research.

In his famous book "History of Science and Technology in China", he mentioned that in ancient China, "water discharge and bellows are equal to steam engines".

Ancient Chinese craftsmen invented it in the Tang and Song dynasties, and spread the double-acting piston bellows.

In the West, it was not until the sixteenth century, two hundred years later, that this kind of bellows was manufactured, which promoted the development of the iron smelting industry.

Nearly a thousand years later than China.

"Build three pipes, the first connecting dish, the second going deep into the well, and the third for drainage."

Boiling water not only initially solves the problem of vacuum, but also the steam rushes into the container through the first pipe, and after cooling, the pressure in the container is lower than the outside atmospheric pressure.

The negative pressure pushes the water from the mine into the vessel through the second pipe, and when the steam rushes into the vessel again, the water in the vessel is discharged through the third pipe

"The first and second pipes, with one-way valves, prevent the well water from flowing backwards, so that the water can only flow out through the third pipe."

The craftsmen had a direction and quickly went to make molds.

and Wansan agreed to come back the day after tomorrow, and Zhu Gaochi left happily.

……

Iron smelting station.

Wan San commanded the apprentices, and the apprentices led their apprentices.

One is the old face of Wansan, and the other is the eldest prince, and the ambassador of the iron smelting station did not stop them, allowing them to knock and knock on various parts.

Similar to the large pressurized water well equipment, it was created by Mansan.

The pressurized water well was invented in the Song Dynasty, and the piston was used to pump the pipe into a vacuum, and the water was pumped up under the action of atmospheric pressure.

This equipment has been passed down to future generations, creating benefits for the general public and solving the problem of water use.

In later generations, a large number of pressurized water wells were preserved in the countryside.

The role of the steam engine is to replace manpower and improve efficiency.

Endless.

……

West Hill Mining Area.

"It'...... It moved on its own. ”

A middle-aged man wearing a silk robe with a white beard with a wide open mouth pointed incoherently at the iron monster who kept shaking his "arms".

Because I was too surprised, I couldn't take care of the nobles around me.

I didn't notice that as the beams kept swaying, the water in the mine was continuously pumped out.

Not only the middle-aged people, but also the people who were originally surrounding a teenager were also shocked and silent.

The young man was the only one who was not attracted by the sight in front of him, but quietly went to look at the sink.

"It's still too inefficient." The boy shook his head, this Newcomen steam engine can only be used as a transitional product, and it needs to be improved.

At least.

This item cannot be used as a steam locomotive.

It's not that he doesn't want to climb to the sky in one step, but technology needs to be accumulated, and he himself is crossing the river by feeling the stones, so he can only come step by step.

Wan San looked at the monster he had created with his own hands, his face was full of complexity, and he said with pride: "Eldest son, fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”

"It's an eye-opener, the eldest prince's methods turn stones into gold, it's really amazing, and I admire it very much."

The middle-aged man came to his senses and hurriedly caught up with him, showing a flattering smile.

As the largest mine owner here, Zhang Dehui is of course full of evil.

Xishan is the largest coal area near Beiping, and when the Dayuan court withdrew to the grassland, the backers behind the mining area also fell.

No matter what the future holds, the remaining mine owners are fighting fiercely, and the middle-aged people can occupy the largest mine, of course, the most ruthless.

But no matter how ruthless a businessman is, he has to kneel when he meets the eldest prince of Yanwang.

And Zhang Dehui also wants to tie up with the eldest son.

The vassal king of Beiping is the king of Yan, and the eldest prince is the future son of the king of Yan, the future king of Yan, to put it bluntly, the future emperor of Beiping.

As long as he can rely on the eldest son, Zhang Dehui is willing to pay anything.

Only one thing.

The eldest prince suddenly came to the door, did he mean that King Yan?

You must know that King Yan led the army to the desert, and the expenses were uproaring, as deep as a bottomless pit.

Zhang Dehui was afraid that he would not be able to fill the other party's stomach.

How big will King Yan's appetite be, and how much blood he has to produce in order to make the eldest prince, no, satisfy King Yan.

It just came as a surprise to him.

The eldest prince has always been very polite to him, and he doesn't want his filial piety, the only thing that makes people confused is that he has made a lot of confusing requests.

The mine owner did not dare to ask, did not dare to offend.

Of course, whatever this little ancestor says, he will do what he does, and everything will make the little ancestor happy.

I thought that the little ancestor had listened to someone's slander, but I didn't expect him to really make a machine that could move on his own.

"In ancient times, Mr. Zhuge made a wooden ox and flowing horse that could walk on his own, and now there is a great prince who has made a treasure that can take water by himself, which will definitely be passed down through the ages and leave a good name."

The fourteen-year-old boy shook his head.

The famous book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in later generations, the current Lao Luo should have finished writing, but it has not yet spread.

However, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has not yet spread, but it does not affect the story of Zhuge Liang spread among the people, and it is inevitable to exaggerate.

is the same as the self-media in later generations, if you don't have a shocking name, how can you make people memorable and attract traffic.

In the same way, it is precisely because of the mythological nature of the story that the story can be passed down from generation to generation.

There is nothing new in the world, only technology is changing.

Science and technology have increased productivity, undergone qualitative changes, and influenced individual thinking.

The young man didn't expect that he would cross over to become Zhu Gaochi, but if he came, he wouldn't be polite.

Industrial Daming.

It will take him just a few decades to complete the path that others have taken hundreds of years to complete.

"The sun and the moon shine, the wind and rain come, all obey."

This is the soul of China.

Two thousand years ago, the ancestors proposed a definition.

Just like the United States of the future.

Americans confidently say that the United States is the greatest country in the world.

Because they come first, they are confident.

And when the ancestors were alive, they were always the first and always confident, so they shouted out without doubt.

Don't obey the slogan.
