Chapter 529

"It's a little difficult to make this thing, but try it and you should be able to make it..." Qian Su glanced over the single cylinder steam engine inch by inch and said professionally, "the most difficult thing to make this thing is the cylinder and the connected crankshafts and parts. These things can't be knocked by a blacksmith alone. You have to open the mold, Cast iron is directly used for one-time casting and then grinding. There are already cast iron workshops here at the manufacturing Bureau. If you want to do this, open a furnace in the cast iron workshop and prepare some tools... "

"Yes, yes, I think so too. Several key parts of the water lighter must be opened and polished after casting. However, the accuracy needs to be relatively high, and it needs to be more careful. In particular, the cylinder and the round iron pieces that twitch back and forth inside are exquisite. When they are made large, they can't be plugged in, and when they are made small, they are easy to leak air, This round iron block and crankshaft connecting rod can't be made of cast iron. They need to be made of steel. Some other workpieces can be made of brass! " As a blacksmith, Yan Dechang looked at the unprecedented water lighter in front of him, and was also moved. "As long as we transform our blacksmith workshop, we should be able to make it!"

"Dad, if you want to make this steam... Water... Lighter, you can take brother Tiezhu to the manufacturing Bureau and make it with Uncle Qian. The manufacturing bureau is spacious and the cast iron workshop is ready-made, which is also convenient!" For a moment, Yan Liqiang almost said all the steam engines. At the moment, there are acquaintances around the yard, and there is no need to keep such a thing secret. Yan Liqiang wants more people to know, so he can discuss it in public.

Qian Su and Yan Dechang looked at each other. They nodded. Yan Dechang said, "this... Yes, I'll discuss it with your uncle Qian!"

"I feel this thing should be useful, but for a while, I haven't figured out what to do?" Qian Su scratched his head.

"Hahaha, this thing needs to play a role. In fact, it's good to create some supporting things, such as threshing, rice milling, oil pressing and wood sawing. After making this thing, we can first set up a mill and sawmill in Liuhe Town. There are no animals in the mill, so we use this water lighter to drive the mill, The sawmill is the same... "Yan Liqiang said easily.

"It's also convenient to drive the grinding plate. The simplest way is to get a belt or a runner, but how to saw wood, the saw can't be driven!" Yan Dechang asked suspiciously.

"It's easy to saw wood. Of course, an ordinary saw can't. just make the saw blade round!" Yan Liqiang casually said an "invention" and "after that, the water lighter will be built at the manufacturing Bureau, and the blacksmith workshop in Liuhe Town can build something to match with the water freighter, such as circular saw blades..."

"Ah, circular saw blade, circular saw blade, why didn't I think..." Yan Dechang patted his head heavily.

Not only Yan Dechang, but also the disciples of Qianji Hall of Lingshan sect opened their eyes when they heard Yan Liqiang's circular saw blade. They were shocked one by one. They thought secretly that Yan Liqiang was really powerful. Just by saying it casually, they could make the water lighter saw wood

"This water lighter is very useful. In addition to these uses, for example, if it is connected with the waterwheel, it can pump water. In fact, it can also be used in the blacksmith workshop. If it can be used to make iron, it can save a lot of manpower, fast and good!"

Yan Liqiang's words suddenly opened the minds of the people around him, excited the craftsmen around him, and began to warmly discuss what the water lighter can be used for. In the final analysis, this thing is really convenient. As long as the boiler is burned after adding water, it can keep moving. It is bigger than human and animal power, and can last for a long time. It can definitely be of great use, And the boiler is not picky about food. You can burn firewood and coal

……

From day to night, the yard of Yan's blacksmith workshop was crowded with people, and countless people came to watch the excitement. Later, many people in Liuhe Town who heard the news came and marveled around the machine one by one.

However, the water lighter was put in Yan's blacksmith workshop for one day. The next day, Yan Liqiang took the water lighter to Huanglong County manufacturing bureau with Yan Dechang, Zhou Tiezhu, Wen zhaolun and a group of people from Lingshan sect.

At the Huanglong County manufacturing Bureau, as soon as the steam engine was put down, Yan Liqiang took Wen zhaolun and the disciples of Lingshan sect to visit the production line of four wheeled carriages. Even if Wen zhaolun and the disciples of Qianji hall boasted that they were knowledgeable, they were still restrained by the newly established production line of four wheeled carriages in the manufacturing Bureau. Before that, They almost never thought that the production of a four-wheel carriage could be divided into so many steps and processes.

However, Wen zhaolun and his disciples did not stay in Huanglong County for many days. After sending the steam engine to Yan Liqiang and helping Yan Liqiang overcome the threat of Feitian gate with the prestige of Lingshan sect, Wen zhaolun and his disciples of Lingshan sect completed their task and left Huanglong County immediately, Return to Lingshan sect with six wagons sent by Yan Liqiang to Lingshan sect and a personal letter to Zhang yourong.

In his letter to Zhang yourong, Yan Liqiang first thanked Zhang yourong and Lingshan school for their timely help, then discussed the role of gears with Zhang yourong, and finally talked about the application prospect of water lighter. He gave a very high evaluation of Zhang yourong and Lingshan school, who built the first water cargo machine. Although he had only met Zhang yourong once, Yan Liqiang felt that he had made a pen pal of Lingshan sect, which was very interesting. After Wen zhaolun and the disciples of Lingshan sect left Pingxi County, Yan Liqiang started the imitation of steam engine with enthusiasm in the manufacturing Bureau, together with Yan Dechang and the craftsmen in the manufacturing Bureau. The craftsmen and Yan Dechang of the manufacturing bureau do not have the ability to invent the steam engine, but they have a ready-made steam engine as a reference. With the foundation of the manufacturing Bureau and the ability of Yan Dechang and others, it is a little difficult to imitate, but those difficulties can be solved, because the manufacturing bureau is not short of materials and processes for manufacturing the steam engine and craftsmen. Of course, There is no shortage of money, not to mention Yan Liqiang's participation. Just follow the gourd and draw a gourd... Yan Liqiang returned to Pingxi county with the power of winning the flying gate. The name of the first strong archer in the Northwest has been established. The whole people's reputation is as high as the sun and famous in the northwest. During his days in the manufacturing Bureau, there are all kinds of people and worship posts in all directions, Like snowflakes, Yan Liqiang flew towards the manufacturing Bureau, but Yan Liqiang declined all in the name of closure. The whole person devoted himself to the manufacturing of steam engine, because for Yan Liqiang, the significance of building this steam engine is definitely more important than closing it once, or it is another form of closure. Decompose, disassemble, measure, draw, mold, cast, fail, modify again, summarize, cast again, fail again, modify again, summarize and improve again... After working for more than 20 days, when the willows outside the manufacturing Bureau sprouted and spring came quietly, the first steam engine in the manufacturing Bureau was finally successfully imitated, As for the rotary mill and circular saw blade used with this steam engine, these two things are relatively simple. They were made seven days ago. I tried to match them with the steam engine sent by Lingshan. The effect is very good. The efficiency of the rotary mill and saw blade is many times higher than that of the traditional one, and it does not cost manpower. Now they stay in the manufacturing Bureau, The mill has come into use. Looking at the flywheel that slowly began to rotate steadily after the ignition, all the craftsmen in the manufacturing Bureau cheered. Yan Liqiang wiped the coal ash on his face, grinned and said to Qian Su, "the manufacturing Bureau will have another profitable business in the future, except for the four wheeled horse and cart manufacturing department, The manufacturing Bureau will have another water lighter manufacturing department... "Qian Su also smiled," I'm afraid it will take some time to sell! "“ As long as it is profitable, you can make money by buying this thing. The spread speed of this thing will definitely be faster than that of a four-wheel carriage. Someone will come to the manufacturing Bureau and queue up to purchase it. Then in a short time, as long as there are some powerful forces in other places, they will start to imitate this thing... "Yan Liqiang said firmly“ Indeed! "“ Build two first, and I'll give them away in two days! "“ Ah, to whom? "“ Lu Jia! " Qian Su was stunned for a moment and then laughed...
