New steam engine.

With the same volume, it is six times more efficient than the original steam engine!

On the basis of increasing the efficiency by six times, the required fuel is saved by a full three times!

Although both are called steam engines, there is an epoch-making difference in power and consumption, and the essence is different.

According to the British.

The technology of this steam engine is mature, so that the area outside the coal area can have the conditions for the use of the steam engine.

According to the rest of the West, imitating the first industrial revolution in Britain, from failure to success.

The new steam engine technology made a breakthrough so that non-coal-producing areas could use steam engines, so they succeeded.

The entire development of industrialization was inseparable from the steam engine.

The industrialization of Peking began with the invention of the steam engine for pumping water.

The importance of the steam engine was unknown to tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, and they did not even know about the changes that had taken place in Beiping.

But in Beiping, there are many people who know the importance of the steam engine.

The Technology Newspaper is an epoch-making breakthrough for the steam engine, and it is specially supplemented with a separate report on the role of the steam engine, as well as gratifying results and expectations for the future.

The headquarters of Chung Hwa Heavy Industries, factories in various industries, sent people to pay attention and learn about the latest steam engines.

The Miyun sub-district was led by the chief treasurer and organized a group to visit the new steam engine at the headquarters.

Zhu Gaochi, who was in Daning, couldn't help laughing out loud after learning the news, and his excited look couldn't be stopped.

Train.

It's finally going to appear.

With the development of railways, the railroad carriages, which originally promoted social productivity, have become an obstacle to transportation.

Not only does it limit the speed of the railway, but it also provides for the horses needed for the railway carriages, and the maintenance expenses are the largest expenses of the railway system.

What's more, raising so many horses not only occupies military resources, but also greatly consumes food.

When the railways of the three provinces are successfully opened, the number of horses needed will be multiplied several times, and the required expenditure will make the railway transportation system lose money immediately.

"Congratulations on the victory of the Technology Division, this achievement is undoubtedly the best and most dazzling at the moment!"

"The new steam engine is not only the luck of China Heavy Industry, I would like to call it, it is the pride of the whole Chinese nation!"

"All R&D personnel, your achievements will be firmly remembered by history and the people!"

"Call on everyone to learn the spirit of the Technology Division, overcome obstacles on the road of scientific research, never stop, and make great strides!"

"The support of the Technology Division, China Heavy Industries and China Heavy Industry System, and even the whole society, will unswervingly continue!"

Zhu Gaochi's unreserved attitude was published word for word in the Technology Newspaper and Life Newspaper.

The entire Peiping related personnel looked sideways, even those who didn't care about the new steam engine couldn't help but be curious.

Even the people of the land often heard these news during this time and wondered what it was.

Zhu Gaochi's duty is that he can't leave Daning.

But he asked Zhou Shifeng, Xiao Jiu, including Han Youchang and other technicians to come to Daning as quickly as possible.

The old technology is still being used by China Heavy Industries, and even many technologies have just begun to be used and have not returned to their original costs.

For example, the steam engine used in the construction of water tanks.

"For the use of new steam engines in each plant, or continue to retain the old steam engine, do not make hard and fast rules, but maintain the principle of replacing if it can be replaced!"

Zhu Gaochi instructed.

Although there are no statistics in the Miyun sub-district and the headquarters factory, plus factories in various places, there are thousands of units in conservative estimates.

New steam engine components increased, and so did the cost.

If all of them are replaced, the funds will be calculated in hundreds of thousands of taels of silver according to the market price.

This is not counting the steam engines used in the coal mining areas.

China Heavy Industries is not for profit, and in the process of development, it relies on the social resource allocation model.

A complete set of system chain cycles.

The entire China Heavy Industry and China Heavy Industry system, as well as the external upstream and downstream production chains, the value system is immeasurable and cannot be converted into gold and silver.

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are nothing compared to the social resources created by China Heavy Industries, but it is different when taken out alone.

In other words.

The difference between turnover and cash.

However, it is not real money to take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the use of food stamps, as long as the system is maintained to operate normally, the overissuance of food stamps is not excessive, and it does not affect the big consequences.

Zhou Shifeng echoed: "With the support of the little prince, my subordinates have no worries. ”

When it comes to Zhou Shifeng's position, even if he doesn't participate in politics, he can't avoid it, and he needs to think twice when he speaks.

"Replacing the steam engine with a new one, although it will increase the current expenditure, in the long run, it will save the waste of resources."

"For example, the tool production plant in Miyun sub-district uses more efficient technology to save production costs and increase output."

"Not only did the production situation that originally remained at a loss, but it also turned into a slight surplus, so the little prince's proposal is correct."

Zhu Gaochi was very satisfied with Zhou Shifeng's statement.

The big treasurer of China Heavy Industry, Zhu Gaochi needs someone like Zhou Shifeng to be the boss, not only to ensure the comfort of China Heavy Industry's system, but also to fully implement his own plan.

"The new steam engine should be put into production as soon as possible, and more resources should be invested in the improvement of various models."

"And join more industries, such as the railway transportation industry, you can also use the steam engine as a power to make the railway carriage Tao replace it with a train!"

Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up.

That's why he likes to stay with the little prince.

The little prince will always have some whimsical ideas that are shocking.

Xiao Jiu's brain was running rapidly, thinking about the possibility of applying the steam engine to the railway, and comparing the efficiency and practicability of the new steam engine, it seemed that it was not difficult!

With the rapid development of China Heavy Industry, many technicians have not met Zhu Gaochi in person.

Han Youchang and other technicians have long heard of Xiao Wangye's talent in craftsmen, and now they meet like this.

The use of steam engines as power and the application of them to railways have been proposed, but the original steam engine has not achieved the effect.

So no one has mentioned this idea for a long time.

There was even a new steam engine, and no one had thought about it yet, but I didn't expect it to be the first to be mentioned by the little prince.

……

The efficiency of the original steam engine was not as good as that of the new steam engine, but it was no problem to develop various ideas and production chains using various factories.

In the following period, the technical department and the staff of each plant went all out to improve the new steam engine.

In this technology, Xiao Jiu and Han Youchang and other technicians began to study how to use the steam engine on the railway.

There are reserves of transmission component technology, and even carriage technology, removing horsepower, and changing it to a steam engine.

The first solution was the crank linkage mechanism, which was widely used in the factory, and was selected and applied to the train wheels.

And then there is the transmission.

After various experiments, the first steam locomotive with a single cylinder and a large flywheel, pulling five carriages, was tested at the Beiping Railway Station.

Zhu Di was invited by China Heavy Industry to watch the platform in person.

China Heavy Industries was flattered.

Zhou Shifeng, Xu Ning, and even Yan Zhongzheng, the head of Miyun Division, and the leaders of China Heavy Industry all rushed to cheer.

"This new steam engine, the boss's evaluation in the technology newspaper and life newspaper, I have seen it all, and it is the first time I have seen the boss so excited."

Zhu Di spoke very kindly.

The people around him bowed their heads respectfully.

Zhu Di is here, and the leaders of Peking will naturally come.

The left and right political envoys of the Political Division, as well as the officials of the Metropolitan Division, had a conflict with China Heavy Industry in front of the Inspectorate Division, but the officials below still came, as well as some generals in Beiping.

The trial of the first train is no longer an ordinary operation, and it has caused a lot of pressure on many people, for fear of accidents.

"There have been many machines that can transmit their own power without human labor, but machines like the steam engine, which can turn on their own without the help of nature, are indeed new."

The year before last, Yan Yu organized the Beiping Reclamation Project, using a lot of pumping steam engines, which has been accepted.

He stood beside Zhu Di and said with a smile: "Although I am used to it, it is really unimaginable to the point where I can pull the carriage." ”

"Let's get started."

Zhu Di said with a smile.

With Zhu Di's orders, many people are busy with this.

The first steam locomotive was very simple and primitive, and it didn't look beautiful, like an iron frame.

The first train driver, nervous more than hard, sweated and shoveled coal into the boiler and began to burn the boiler.

When the steam engine was running, he and his colleagues worked together to apply the handbrake.

"Click...... Wipe. ”

The train moved, but slowly, much slower than the start of the horse-drawn carriage of the railway, and one could not help but wonder if the train could run.

The people in the stands stared at the trains on the railroad.

The five wagons were filled with coal mines, the heaviest on the railway, more than three times as many as the previous horse-drawn carriages used to transport coal mines.

The locomotive was steaming white, like a monster of a machine.

It's getting faster and louder.

Its speed goes from five kilometers per hour, gradually to eight kilometers per hour, starting with more than ten kilometers.

Ordinary horses, under normal circumstances, travel at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, and it is important not to run for a long time.

The world's first train traveled at eight kilometers per hour.

However, the importance and dedication before the emergence of the two, as well as the resources and reserved technologies, are not the same.

At last.

The first train in Beiping was frozen at a speed of 30 miles per hour.

A short horseback ride to catch up with the train.

But the meaning of this, everyone present exclaimed, even if it was Zhu Di, his face was moved.

He finally understood why his eldest son thought so much about the re-steam engine.

Daning to Beiping, for example, is nearly a thousand miles.

Then with a railway carriage, there is no need to change horses, there is no need to maintain physical strength, and it can reach 720 miles in a day and night.

Departing from Beiping in the morning, we arrived in Daning at noon on the second day.

A thousand miles a day.

A real day travels thousands of miles, and it is normal.

Zhu Di couldn't help but touch his chin.

Steam locomotives, in modern times, generally traveled at a speed of one hundred and twenty miles per hour.
