Chapter 271: Crossing Essentials - Making a Steam Engine (1)
[This is a necessary skill for traversing, and after learning it, you will be able to start the Steam Age!] 】
After the people of various dynasties saw the title on the canopy, they were a little puzzled, what kind of thing could open an era?
Among the knowledge they learned from the canopy, although there was also extremely important knowledge, it was never able to create an era of knowledge.
Even technologies such as papermaking and printing, which stimulated human civilization, only made it easier for them to learn knowledge.
It's not just the people of this dynasty who don't understand, but the emperors of various dynasties who don't understand either.
They are also looking forward to the specific video on the canopy, looking forward to what will create an era.
So they put down their work and looked at the canopy carefully.
[The principle of the steam engine is very simple, that is, it converts the heat energy generated by steam into kinetic energy.
One of the simplest steam engine devices is the pneumatic ball, which is of little use other than spinning, but it is a good example of how steam is powered.
You only need to refine this technique to create a classic steam engine device.
In a piston type steam device, kinetic energy is generated by repeated movements of the piston and a connecting rod to drive the gears.
However, you can make steam engine devices for different purposes according to your needs.
If you want to develop agriculture, you can make steam tractors to plough the land, although it is much slower than modern tractors, but it is also very capable of playing in ancient times.
If you want to grow your business, you can build steam cars and steamboats, etc., which can make it easier for you to move your goods around the city faster.
Of course, you can also build a railroad track, build a steam train, and connect all the territories of the dynasties you traverse.
Not only will you be able to circulate supplies faster, but you will also be able to get your soldiers to the battlefield faster, even when you're on the march.
You can also use the power of the steam engine to drive the catapult to throw huge stones in order to capture the enemy's city.
It even drives the city-breaking hammer that hits the door, allowing you to attack the opponent's city faster.
Moreover, the materials used to make the steam engine were mainly wood and iron, which was not an uncommon thing in ancient times, and the only thing that could make it difficult for you was the sealing problem.
If you can solve the sealing problem, you will definitely be able to make a steam engine? Then go and start a new era! 】
After the landlords of various dynasties saw the video on the canopy, they also secretly calculated in their hearts how much manpower they would save if they used the steam engine on the canopy.
How much benefit can you bring to yourself if you use the steam mechanism on the canopy to make a machine that can grow fields?
As the landlords of one side, although they owned a large amount of land, due to the limited manpower of their families, they could only rent it to the people nearby.
In this way, although they have guaranteed their harvest in drought and flood, their profits have been reduced.
For a higher profit, they hoped to be able to build a steam engine themselves.
In that way, you will no longer have to rent your own fields to nearby people, and you will hire people to plant them yourself, and you will also have higher profits.
In order to achieve this goal, they began to recruit many skilled craftsmen and asked them to make steam engines based on the information on the canopy.
The people of the various dynasties saw the video on the canopy, and they were stunned by what was in the video.
Especially after hearing the introduction on the canopy, they realized the value of this kind of thing even more.
In their time, the only power they could use other than people was livestock.
But what they didn't expect was that a small machine could have such power.
It also reminded them of the excavator they had seen on the canopy before, and now after seeing the video on the canopy, they understood how the big guy moved.
In their opinion, the excavator must have this steam engine in it to be able to move.
And according to the canopy, this steam engine can not only make excavators, but also all kinds of machines.
Thinking of this, the eyes of the people of various dynasties showed a green light.
They know the hard work of farming, but if they have this kind of machine, it will change the current state.
By that time, they will have more land and will be able to eat enough every day.
In order to achieve this goal, they began to use their ingenuity and made it based on the limited information given in the canopy.
It's just that the result of the work makes them cry, no matter how they improve, the machine they make will have all kinds of problems.
This made the people of various dynasties deeply shocked, and they slowly realized that there was such a big gap between them and the later generations on the canopy.
However, they did not give up, after all, the more difficult things are, the more they can bring benefits.
So they found a teacher and began to learn about writing, read all kinds of technical books, and hoped that they would be able to build a real steam engine.
Qin Dynasty.
Qin Shi Huang watched the video on the canopy, and he was more and more amazed at the development of later generations.
He didn't expect that the simple boiling of water could also be used by later generations to make a steam engine.
And the role of this steam engine is not simple, whether it is agriculture and commerce, or the machine used in war, he is eager to have.
At that time, he could make a train out of a steam engine, as he did in later generations, so that countless civilians and soldiers could travel back and forth between the two places.
Such a Great Qin's territory will be more closely connected, and there will be no fear of the enemy's uprising!
Thinking of this, Qin Shi Huang paid more and more attention to this steam engine, and in his opinion, the production of this steam engine was not only the needs of the people, but also the needs of politics.
So he gave an order to those Mo family disciples to make the steam engine on the canopy.
After the children of the Mo family received the order, they took out the notebook they had recorded on the canopy.
When they saw how to make a steam engine on the canopy, they quickly recorded it on paper.
After all, they can have today now by constantly learning from the canopy.
And now the order issued by Qin Shi Huang is also the time to apply the above content.
It was only after their real research that they discovered that making a steam engine was not that simple.
The difficulty is not the principle, but after knowing the principle, the various parts can be perfectly combined, so that the power of the machine can meet the requirements.
If it is simply made according to the drawings on the topic, although it can be made, it can only be used for a few days, and it will be destroyed by steam, so that the machine will be completely scrapped!
In order to study a steam engine that could be used for a long time, all the children of the Mo family began to study it together.
For this kind of challenging work, the Mo family disciples of True Love Technology are very fond of it.
In their opinion, only by accepting the challenge can they grow faster.
And this time, making a steam engine was a difficult challenge.
And as one of the only 100 schools in this era who have access to technology, how can they easily admit defeat?
So they began to concentrate on the generalization and discussed together how to make a steam engine.
It's been a lot of discussions, and the result has been one failure after another.
It's just that the children of the Mo family are getting braver and braver the more frustrated!
As they built more and more steam engines, so did the knowledge they learned.
