Silver Overlord Chapter 512: Water and fire machine

"Moved, really moved, this iron pimple moved..."

"Prepare the coal, pay attention, do n’t let the fire go out ..."

"The people next to you give in, don't squeeze here, this boiler is hot ..."

In mid-January, after the snow cleared, the cold faded slightly, and the snow on the ground was not completely gone. The courtyard of the Yanjia blacksmith's workshop was already full of heat and bustle. The water leaked, one after another, his eyes widened, watching the "iron pimple" flywheel on the open ground in the middle of the courtyard slowly turning.

Yan Dechang, Zhou Tiezhu, and dozens of apprentices in the blacksmith's workshop, a bunch of stewards of the Yan family, plus Yan Liqiang, Shi Changfeng, Shi Dafeng, Shen Teng, Lu Pei En, and made from Huanglong County Qian Su and the old craftsmen and heads of several blacksmith workshops, and finally a disciple of Wen Zhaolun and the Lingshan School, all of them were in the yard, watching the "iron pimple" sent by Lingshan after the ignition and adding water , Slowly moved.

Except for a few people such as Yan Liqiang and Wen Zhaolun, after watching the "iron pimple" move, everyone was suddenly in an uproar. Zhou Tiezhu's excited voice shivered with trembling.

Yan Dechang who fought iron all his life looked at the flywheel that was turning faster and faster, and he was dumbfounded. The whole person muttered to himself, "I fought iron all my life. Move yourself ... "

Qian Su and several old blacksmiths and heads from the manufacturing bureau, staring at the rotating flywheel at this time, could not say a word, just like seeing something incredible, as for other things like The expressions on the faces of Shi Changfeng and others were basically the same at this time.

Yan Liqiang stood next to the steam engine that had just been assembled and looked at the rapidly rotating flywheel. His eyes swept over the parts of the steam engine. His eyes were amazed-at first glance This steam engine is like a stove with a height of more than one meter. Below the steam engine, there are a few metal seats and a frame. On the left side of the frame, there is a stove-like boiler that is made of iron. The boiler is made of iron On the boiler, there is a bright yellow cylindrical water tank made of brass. The water tank is about one meter long and the bucket is thick. Above the water tank, there are several copper tubes, some of which are Water is added, some of the copper pipes are vented, and some are vented. In the middle of the vented copper pipes, there is a manual valve that can adjust the air intake. This intake pipe is connected to the most important cylinder of the steam engine. It is a piston and crankshaft connecting rod. A round rotating flywheel with a diameter of about 50 centimeters is on the other side of the crankshaft connecting rod. As the piston in the cylinder moves, the flywheel is also fast under the action of the connecting rod It turned.

But what really amazes Yan Liqiang is not this, but the device underneath this steam engine that condenses the steam input into the cylinder. Know that in the previous life, this condensing device was invented in the steam engine. After coming out for a long time, the original steam engine had two obvious shortcomings. One was that the piston movement was discontinuous and slow, and the second was the low steam utilization rate and wasted raw materials. The most important reason for this problem That is, steam is condensed in the cylinder. Watt’s biggest contribution to the steam engine is to change the condensation method of the traditional steam engine from in-cylinder condensation to off-cylinder condensation. After the improvement of Watt, the basic mechanism of the steam engine was completely stabilized Then began to spread.

Yan Liqiang originally thought that the steam engine Zhang Yourong first created would not think of the method of condensation outside the cylinder, but what he did not expect was that this steam engine sent by Lingshan had already adopted the method of condensation outside the cylinder. As a result, the reliability and stability of this steam engine has been greatly improved, and it can definitely meet the practical standards of investment.

Yan Liqiang was secretly amazed. Zhang Yourong was worthy of Zhang Yourong. It was just after being burnt by himself. After a year, the steam engine built by Zhang Yourong was already very complete. The created steam engine is very close to the structure of the mature single-cylinder steam engine in my mind. Although at first glance some details are still rough, the basic mechanical structure and use functions are fully equipped.

Two disciples of Lingshan School Qianjitang were operating the steam engine in front of them. Wen Zhaolun was standing next to them, looking at this iron pimple made by Lingshan School Qianjitang proudly. When he was in the machine hall, he respected Yan Liqiang the most. He once said to Wen Zhaolun that Yan Liqiang ’s attainments of the institutional features are unfathomable, and may still be above him. Although Wen Zhaolun has always admired Zhang Yourong ’s ability, he is right Zhang Yourong praised Yan Liqiang, but he had some reservations in his heart. Before coming to Ganzhou, he didn't believe that a 10-year-old Maotou could accomplish his achievements in the way of organs and things comparable to Zhang Yourong, the guru of the first organ of the Han Empire. After coming to Ganzhou, I saw Yan Liqiang's ability on the bow road in Tianchi, Canglong Mountain. Wen Zhaolun really looked at Yan Liqiang and was a little shocked. But when it comes to the way of the institution, he still thinks that Yan Liqiang cannot be more powerful than Zhang Yourong. Zhang Yourong said that The concept of this iron lump was conceived by Yan Liqiang. Even after seeing Yan Liqiang, Wen Zhaolun always felt that Yan Liqiang might just be a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, and his brain flashed a concept. The really powerful person is of course still The host Zhang of their thousand machine hall.

The look and shock on the faces of the surrounding people made Wen Zhaolun, the deputy host of Qianji Hall, very satisfied. I remember that when he first saw this thing made by Zhang Yourong, it was almost the same look. The stunned look on Wen Zhaolun seemed like a speechless compliment to the Lingshan School and Qianjitang, which made him very useful. When Wen Zhaolun's eyes turned to Yan Liqiang's face, this Qianjitang's The deputy host slightly froze for a moment, because the expression on Yan Liqiang's face was not shocked at all, but looked at the "previously unprecedented" made by this Lingshan school Qianjitang with a kind of playful look. "Machine.

Is n’t it shocked and admired to see something that no one can create? Look at it? what does that mean?

Wen Zhaolun felt a little unhappy, "cough ... cough ... Yan Gongzi thinks about the water and fire machine that we built by Lingshan School Qianjitang?"

The strange name that Yanliqiang heard in Yan Liqiang is the name given to this steam engine by Lingshan. To put it simply, it is a machine that can be driven by the power of water and fire.

"Brother Zhang really deserves to be the master of the first organ of the Han Dynasty. This machine made by Qianjitang ... water ... The water machine is definitely the first silver mainland, admire, admire!" Yan Liqiang praised with a smile.

After hearing Yan Liqiang say this, Wen Zhaolun finally showed a smile on his face, thinking that Yan Liqiang was still modest.

"Li Qiang, how can the rotation of this flywheel slow down..." After staring at the steam engine for half a day, Yan Dechang couldn't help but ask a question.

“Oh, it ’s actually very simple to slow down the flywheel. Father, you see, the valve on the copper pipe can be controlled. Pull the valve a little bit, and the flywheel will slow down and open a little. The flywheel speed It will be faster ... "Yan Liqiang said as he walked over, and took a hands-on demonstration of the steam valve connected to the boiler's copper pipe.

Seeing Yan Liqiang's hands, Wen Zhaolun and a few disciples of the Lingshan School nearby froze for a moment. They hadn't said how to control the fire machine. How did Yan Liqiang glance at a glance?

"Then why can this valve control the speed of this flywheel?" Zhou Tiezhu also asked, scratching his head.

"That’s because after the water in the copper water tank is heated, the generated steam will enter the cylinder from this copper tube. This valve is to control the size of the steam in the copper tube, the steam is small, The speed of the flywheel is slow, there is a lot of steam, and the speed of the flywheel is fast!" Yan Liqiang pointed to the steam engine and explained, "Just be careful when using this thing. If the boiler under the water tank is still burning, this valve cannot. It is completely closed. After the vent valve is closed, a vent switch must be turned on. If all the valves are closed to burn water, the water tank will explode for a long time, which is very dangerous. If there is someone next to it, there may be Death or injury ... "

"Oh, will this thing explode?" Zhou Tiezhu asked in surprise.

"Of course!"

Wen Zhaolun was already surprised ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Because when he started researching and manufacturing this thing in Qianjitang, it was like Yan Liqiang said that something happened, but fortunately there was no injury in that accident. When it comes to people, when the boiler exploded, there was no one around, but just messed up a workshop. After that, Zhang Yourong thought of installing a vent for this boiler ...

"I heard the host said that Master Yan's attainments in the way of organizing things are extraordinary. Then, when Master Yan looked at this fire machine, could he guess where our host made the most effort?" Wen Zhaolun asked a little more stubbornly.

Yan Liqiang smiled slightly, pointing to the inconspicuous condensing device under the cylinder, "You do n’t have this thing on the first water machine built by Qianjitang. This thing must have been made by Brother Zhang last. It was also that Brother Zhang experimented countless times and spent a lot of time and energy, I do n’t know if I guessed it right! ”

"Ah ..." Wen Zhaolun stared at Yan Liqiang stunnedly. The disciples of the Lingshan School next to him looked at Yan Liqiang's eyes. It was like seeing a ghost. The so-called expert reached out his hand and knew if there was any. Yan Liqiang was just simple. In a word, Wen Zhaolun and a few disciples of the Lingshan School instantly quelled.

"Uncle Qian, can you see that the manufacturing bureau can also make this thing?" Yan Liqiang turned his head and asked Qian Su ...
