Silent Crown Chapter 625: Carnot cycle

Under the dim light, the rusty fence closed in a harsh sound as the researcher pulled.

The lever pulled, and the elevator descended toward the dark depths.

In the shrill sound of metal rubbing, sparks popped out of the corners from time to time as they descended. The faint flash illuminates the profile of the young man, and the outline looks a little gloomy.

The researcher grinned reluctantly: "Because the budget is insufficient, there is a lack of maintenance..."

"I understand."

Ye Qingxuan waved his hand indifferently: "If the result is satisfactory to me, I will increase investment in the future."

"Thank you so much, then."

The researcher was overjoyed. If it hadn't been for the reputation of the young man in front of him, he would have rushed to shake hands and started chattering about various potential research projects.

Actually, the Royal Academy was not so poor at all. Over the past few years, the country’s annual budget has been enough to feed ten times the number of people.

But Naihe met that guy Newton as the director.

The budget has all been dazzled by him in various names. In fact, more than half of the budget has been sacked, to fill the holes in his own secret taboo research.

For a long time, the royal has a lot of evidence, but they have been put aside, and even secretly protected Newton.

Because the **** of Newton is indeed a genius, no one can match.

Not only did he have incredible accomplishments in mechanical engineering, he even worked part-time as the director of the Royal Mint for a while...

Some people are born to lie in bed and use their talents to crush the results of countless people's efforts into pieces.

Mathematics, economics, mechanical engineering... Even in the field of his untalented musician, he can still master some of the principles of alchemy through his own research.

When encountering this kind of double-edged sword-like bastard, everyone can only bear it, and then continue to feed him with money and let him continue to lay golden eggs.

If it wasn't for his character, temperament and even his style to be too damned, this guy would have long since stayed in a research post.

However, now it seems that this is probably one of his goals, right?

In addition to being passionate about research, that guy is not interested in any business. Even if he was the director of the Royal Academy, he went to brothels and houses far more times than he went to work.

Nowadays, Newton has secretly fornicated with the revolutionary army because of his research on taboo technology. After many years of death, he finally managed to escape without a trace.

While everyone regrets, they can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, I don't have to wait on this **** anymore.

What about the next research? Who will continue with so many research projects that have been put on hold?

In this regard, the researchers have mixed feelings.

Currently, the director of the Royal Academy is still suspended, and the actual affairs are temporarily taken over by Ronald, one of the original deputy directors, who is engaged in dynamic research. That is to say, Ye Qingxuan has not seen the sun for many days. Guy.

A typical researcher.

The skin is pale and skinny.

Obviously malnourished, hunched back, peeling fingers, white uniforms stained with stains of unclean ink, protruding eyes, but not wide open, with heavy spectacle lenses.

In silence, Ye Qingxuan asked, "Director Ronald, is the research going well?"

"Ah, it's smooth, smooth."

Speaking of this, Ronald suddenly said: "In fact, it is not difficult to study. It can be said that it is just a modification based on the principle and the book.

After you unblocked the technology of the ‘Kano Cycle’, it took only two days for us to produce the first version of the design. In fact, most of the intermediate time is spent comparing the efficiency and difficulty of production.

According to your requirements, we finally selected the most balanced and stable general design for production. Although time is short, but material resources are sufficient, making this kind of thing is actually much simpler than the ether engine..."

"That's good."

Ye Qingxuan interrupted him: "Then take me to see."

As if aware of his gaffe, Ronald smiled awkwardly.

Opened the already stable elevator fence, and asked Ye Qingxuan to come with him.

This is the sixth underground floor of the Royal Academy. It is engaged in secret design and secret opening, and only a few people with pass qualifications can approach it.

In addition to the four alloy gates, there are also various music theory matrix protections. Everything is blocked by hundreds of meters of soil, and there are strict protections inside to ensure the greatest possible prevention of leaks.

The only way to get in and out is by the elevator that can be used for both human and cargo.

"It's here..."

Ronald led the way diligently.

After passing through the gates, Ye Qingxuan finally entered the No. 6 Proving Ground.

In the proving ground, there are still traces of cracks. In an underground space the size of several football fields, it seems to have experienced dozens of wars, even if the ground and ceiling are made of metal. Has been devastated.

And here, dozens of researchers have already waited.

Behind them, on the huge trailer, a heavy machinery with a height of ordinary people is exuding the pungent smell of lubricating oil.

The edges and corners are sharp, and there is no time to polish it. Numerous pipelines are entangled and look messy, making it elusive to understand its specific purpose.

As soon as he saw it, Ronald's expression became excited, and he ignored the introduction of the members of the project team, and trot to the side of the machine.

"This is the prototype machine. Although it looks rough, it is only a preliminary machine that can operate according to the principle.

If it can be adopted, we can at least reduce its volume to one-third of its size in the future, and reduce its weight by more than half.

According to different needs, if the output and power are reduced by an appropriate amount, it is not impossible to shrink to a quarter..."

"Oh?"

Ye Qingxuan passed the researchers, stood beside the trailer, and raised his head.

In the indescribably soft dazzling light, the huge machine made of black iron and brass looks square, like a weird heart filled with cables. Ye Qingxuan can distinguish the various parts from above. It's like a hodgepodge picked from the trash, those parts are not matched at all.

Some are the air pressure valve from the reverse valve, and some are the temperature-controlled furnace parts used in the foundry industry. The main body is the inlet cylinder of the marine engine......

There is no design beauty.

A test product that is made in order to achieve an effect.

Ye Qingxuan has no objection to this.

In a month's time, it was not easy to be able to come up with a prototype. Rather, to be able to do this, this group of researchers have spent their nights and sleeps and rushed to work.

He nodded:

"Very good."

Obviously, the researchers breathed a sigh of relief, and Ronald, who was nervous, also smiled, "Let me explain the specific principles for you first..."

In fact, Ye Qingxuan knew exactly how the Stirling engine works.

As a substitute for the steam engine, the Stirling engine can be said to be another design born out of the steam engine from the source.

It's just that, different from the obsolete internal combustion engine, it uses an external combustion method that is completely different from that of the internal combustion engine.

It can be called an ‘external combustion engine’.

Instead of directly pushing the piston through internal combustion, but through external combustion, two different temperatures are applied to the two ends of the cylinder, and the working medium is driven by the temperature difference to produce the effect of piston pushing.

"...In short, we create a heating and cooling cycle through temperature, so that the internal object as the working medium expands and contracts, and then produces piston movement and output power..."

Speaking of research, Ronald once again began to be full of energy, chattering beside him, making Ye Qingxuan frowned: "Director Ronald, I have the qualifications of a fourth-level mechanical engineer. I know all these principles. I don’t need to Repeat it.

Furthermore, didn't I give you the original "Kano Cycle" technology? "

"Uh, ah..."

Ronald finally remembered the resume of the minister in front of him, and suddenly stopped awkwardly: "Sorry, sorry, accidentally..."

The design of the'Sterling Engine' and its principle, the'Carnot Cycle', are both by-products of Anglo's discovery of natural disaster relics~IndoMTL.com~ Unfortunately, at this time, it is far from the Victorian era. Decades have passed since the tragedy caused. The Order declared that steam technology is a taboo area, and ordered the countries to stop researching and not cause another tragedy.

The era of the ‘Industrial Revolution’ proved to be useless to humans and was horribly sealed.

Therefore, Anglo can only list it as a technical reserve in case of emergency.

When Maxwell arranged Ye Qingxuan to become the heir of the fifth department, these secret libraries were also completely opened to Ye Qingxuan. As a preparatory engineer who had a deep understanding of mechanical engineering, Ye Qingxuan immediately noticed the potential of this technology. Deep potential.

Now the holy city has been hit hard by the Hundred Eyes attack, and its influence on the countries has been greatly reduced. In addition, the revolutionary army has officially risen, which has dispersed most of the pressure. It is a good time for research and development.

But Ye Qingxuan also understands that once it starts, I am afraid that he will officially enter the blacklist of the holy city.

Not only that, once this technology is implemented and put on the market, it will begin to evolve on its own. More than one person has a brain, and in the hands of countless people, it will improve, evolve, and update itself.

Until the end, what it will be like... Even Ye Qingxuan, the initiator, may be unpredictable.

Whether it will lead to the second Victorian tragedy, whether it will cause endless disasters after losing control, is not in his consideration.

Just like Stone said.

The world has awakened from the cradle of the Order, and started to cry. Change will come, every field, every place... whether it is war, production, transportation or life.

If Ye Qingxuan is afraid of his tail, he will be driven by others.

Half a month ago, the war that shocked the whole world had taught this truth to everyone.
