Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 166: : The advent of the milling machine

The next day.

The first semi-automatic steam forging machine in the history of the new world appeared.

In the factory, thousands of people watched this big guy in amazement.

"Is this a forging machine?"

"Can it completely replace the blacksmith's machine?"

"Forging and smelting steel requires a skilled worker to beat a piece of red-hot iron tens of thousands of times with a hammer. With it, no manpower is needed, and it only takes a few minutes can complete."

"Really or not?"

"After testing, the strength of this big guy exceeds one thousand catties per stroke. Is this the strength that workers can wield?"

"Only by it?"

“…”

A huge boiler is connected to a big guy like a balance scale. Through the principle of leverage, one end bears weight, and the other end is a huge hammer. Five hundred catties of heavy iron were added to the hammer.

When the steam engine lifts the hammer up to a height of one meter through stretching and repeated force, the steam force is cycled back, and the hammer will fall freely. A weight of several hundred kilograms falls freely from a height of one meter, and the impact force produced exceeds one thousand kilograms.

People from the Kyushu Academy of Sciences are doing the final test. Test its final data and the energy it consumes for one hour of work.

The good news is that the steam engine technology of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences is quite mature, and the power is extremely high. This forging hammer can complete 32 strikes per minute on average, the frequency exceeds that of manual labor, and its efficiency far exceeds that of manual labor.

Liu Zehui also rushed to the scene to watch the power of the steam forging machine.

When Ruan Mingxue shouted to start, the gas valve opened, and the steam engine suddenly started to work.

The steam from the 'woo woo woo' was discharged from the chimney.

‘Ding——boom’

‘Ding——boom’

‘Ding——boom’

Everyone was in an uproar, watching the giant guy start to run repeatedly like this. The extremely terrifying sledgehammer, which could never be lifted by manpower, began to be raised and lowered repeatedly.

A skilled worker came over with a piece of red-hot cube iron and placed it on the forging table.

At this moment, everyone held their breaths.

'Boom'

Suddenly, the hammer fell.

"Ah!"

"No way!"

"So much power."

"My God, is this mechanical power?"

"Yes, this is the industrial age that Dean Li said."

“…”

The 50 centimeter cubic block of red-hot iron was only hit by the forging hammer on the forging table, and it was instantly flattened. It is obviously steel, but at this moment, it is like mud.

Turning the incomparably hard steel into soft like mud. Kneading at will, this is the power of science.

Everyone in the Kyushu Academy of Sciences had a carnival.

"Success!"

“…”

This historic moment announced that Kyushu has officially entered the era of steam industry.

When the forging hammer experiment was successful, it began to be used immediately. Workers immediately began mass production of steam forging machines with an uncomplicated process.

The next moment, a steam cutter appeared.

When the disc-shaped hacksaw is connected to the steam engine as the power. The 'buzzing' hacksaw began to rotate at a high speed, and the speed was extremely fast. This was due to the mechanical principle that reduced the torque and increased the speed.

Looking at the high-speed rotating hacksaw table, everyone took a step back in shock.

Lin Xiufeng was sweating profusely, and simply took off his shirt: "Test with wood first."

When someone came with a wooden board, Lin Xiufeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and operated it himself.

Place the board on the saw table and push it forward only slightly.

The sharp sound of 'Zi Zi Zi' appeared, but saw chips flying. The board was easily pushed over and split into two.

Everyone was shocked.

This...is a steam-powered hacksaw?

In fact, it is the principle of the chainsaw. It's just that the electric drive is changed to steam drive, and it becomes a steam cutting machine.

It's hard to say whether this steam saw is a success, because the time cost is reduced, but the fuel cost has appeared. At present, it is not easy to calculate whether its cost and benefit can be directly proportional.

However, the steam cutting machine conceived by Li Zhen is now actually in use.

People from the School of Mathematics helped them calculate the cost, and in the end it was a multi-purpose machine.

A factory is equipped with a small number of steam engines, but assembles different platforms. The piston and cylinder are detachable, and one steam engine can drive several machines at the same time.

If you want to use the forging machine at this moment, connect the cylinder to the forging machine and let the forging machine start working.

After using the forging machine, the cutting machine is needed, so the cylinder is disassembled and installed on the cutting machine to continue working.

The power heart does not need to be changed, but a machine with multiple functions.

Greatly reduces costs and raw materials. In this way, the machinery can be idle, but the steam engine is constantly working.

There are some small parts that need to be polished manually, and it takes a lot of time to polish steel.

So, the steam polishing machine also appeared.

After power transmission, the steam is connected to the shaft of a grinding wheel with a belt, driving the grinding wheel to rotate at a high speed. People only need to hold the steel in their hands and rub it on the rapidly rotating grinding wheel. There is absolutely no need to use any manual power to polish. And because the grinding wheel rotates at a high speed, the efficiency is at least dozens of times higher.

If sharpening a purely blunt knife ~IndoMTL.com~ requires hours of hand sharpening on a whetstone. Then take this grinder up, and it only takes a few minutes to do it without any effort.

This is the principle of machinery, which belongs to the great era of steam.

This made everyone suddenly enlightened. They never thought that the steam engine could do so many things.

Sure enough, as long as there is a heart with power, power can be output no matter where it is. All they need to do is to realize all this through mechanical dynamics.

Completely replaces manual work.

Efficiency is doubled.

Everyone in the Kyushu Academy of Sciences cheered collectively. In the midst of this joy, they continued to study the multiple uses of steam.

I have a little understanding of the few blueprints that Li Chen threw out, which are just for throwing bricks and attracting jade. Name the main idea, and the rest of the articles need to be written by themselves.

If you can't write a topic while having a topic idea, then it's basically useless. Obviously, the Kyushu Academy of Sciences has no disabled people, they just didn't think of it.

The next day, the students of the Institute of Mechanical Power produced another blueprint, and everyone exclaimed.

Steam milling machine!

The advent of the milling machine means that overnight, the steam age has leaped a step upwards.

The high-strength alloy is used to cast the milling cutter, and the power is transmitted by steam for high-speed rotation. In this way, metal cutting, engraving, plane cutting of grooves, and processing of special parts are performed on a platform with precise gear precision control.

As a member of the Mechanical Power Research Institute, he announced the basic principles of the milling machine and the use of the milling machine. Everyone is excited.

A new era has arrived.

Really belongs to the era of steam.

Industrial age.
