Chapter 528

"Move, really move, this iron pimple moves..."

"Get the coal ready, pay attention, don't let the fire go out..."

"Let the people nearby give way. Don't squeeze here. This boiler will burn people..."

In mid January, it cleared up after the snow, the cold faded slightly, and the snow on the ground had not completely melted. The yard of the blacksmith workshop of the Yan family was already in full swing and bustling. A large number of people surrounded the blacksmith workshop. They stared at the flywheel of "iron pimple" on the open space in the middle of the yard and slowly turned.

Yan Dechang, Zhou Tiezhu, dozens of apprentices in the blacksmith workshop, a group of supervisors of the Yan family, Yan Liqiang, Shi Changfeng, Shi Dafeng, Shen Teng, Lu Peien, Qian Su who came from Huanglong County, several old craftsmen and heads of the blacksmith workshop, and finally Wen zhaolun and a group of disciples of Lingshan sect, all surrounded the yard, Looking at the "iron pimple" sent by Lingshan, he slowly moved after igniting and adding water.

In addition to a few people such as Yan Liqiang and Wen zhaolun, after watching the "iron pimple" move, everyone was in an instant in an uproar, and Zhou Tiezhu's excited and shouting voice was trembling.

Yan Dechang, who has been fighting iron all his life, was stunned when he looked at the flywheel rotating faster and faster. The whole person was muttering, "I've fought iron all my life. I didn't expect that this fire and water can make iron pimples move by myself..."

Unbelievable money and the old fellow of blacksmith and artisans came from the manufacturing Bureau. At this time, they stared at the rotating flywheel. They could not say a word, just like what unimaginable things were, and the expressions on other faces such as Chang Feng and others were basically similar.

Yan Liqiang stood next to the newly assembled steam engine and looked at the rapidly rotating flywheel. His eyes swept over the parts of the steam engine. He was surprised - at first glance, the steam engine was like a stove more than one meter high. Below the steam engine was a metal seat and frame, on the left of the frame, It is a fire boiler similar to a stove. 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. On the water tank, there are several copper pipes. Some copper pipes add water, some copper pipes vent, and some vent, in the middle of the vent copper pipes, There is also a manual valve that can adjust the intake volume. This intake pipe is connected to the most important cylinder of the steam engine. Above the cylinder is the piston and the crankshaft connecting rod. A circular rotating flywheel with a diameter of about 50 cm is on the other side of the crankshaft connecting rod. With the piston in the cylinder moving, the flywheel also rotates rapidly under the action of the connecting rod.

But what really amazed Yan Liqiang was not these, but the device located under the steam engine to condense the steam input into the cylinder. You know, in previous lives, this condensing device was made by Watt long after the steam engine was invented. The original steam engine had two obvious disadvantages: one was that the piston action was discontinuous and slow, The second is the low utilization rate of steam and waste of raw materials. The most important reason for this problem is that steam condenses in the cylinder. Watt's greatest contribution to the steam engine is to change the condensation mode of the traditional steam engine from in cylinder condensation to out of cylinder condensation. After watt completed this improvement, the basic mechanism of the steam engine was completely stabilized, Then it became popular.

Yan Liqiang originally thought that the steam engine built by Zhang yourong for the first time would not think of the method of out of cylinder condensation, but what surprised him was that the steam engine sent by Lingshan had adopted the method of out of cylinder condensation. In this way, the reliability and stability of the steam engine have been greatly improved and can definitely meet the standard of practical use.

Yan Liqiang was surprised. Zhang yourong is worthy of being Zhang yourong. Just after being broken by himself, after a year, the steam engine built by Zhang yourong has been very complete. In front of him, the steam engine built by Qianji Hall of Lingshan sect is very close to the mature single cylinder steam engine in his mind, Although at first glance some details are still rough, the basic mechanical structure and use functions are fully available.

The steam engine in front of him was operated by two disciples of Qianji Hall of Lingshan sect. Wen zhaolun stood nearby and looked at the iron pimple made by Qianji Hall of Lingshan sect with some pride. When Zhang yourong returned to Qianji hall, he highly praised Yan Liqiang. He once told Wen zhaolun that Yan Liqiang's skill in mechanism and grid objects is unfathomable and may still be above him, Although Wen zhaolun has always admired Zhang yourong's skills, he has some reservations about Zhang yourong's praise of Yan Liqiang. Before he came to Ganzhou, he didn't believe that a teenager could be as accomplished as Zhang yourong, the first mechanism master of the Han Empire, but after he came to Ganzhou, Wen zhaolun had seen Yan Liqiang's skill in bowing in Tianchi of Canglong mountain. He was really impressed by Yan Liqiang and was a little shocked. But when it comes to the way of mechanism and objects, he still felt that Yan Liqiang can't be more powerful than Zhang yourong. Zhang yourong said that Yan Liqiang thought of the iron knot in front of him, even after seeing Yan Liqiang, Wen zhaolun also always thought that Yan Liqiang might just be a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. His head flashed and he had an idea. Of course, the really powerful person is still hall leader Zhang of their Qianji hall.

Wen zhaolun, the deputy hall leader of Qianji hall, was very satisfied with the look and shock on the faces around him. I remember that he looked almost the same when he first saw the thing made by Zhang yourong. The stunned look on his face seemed to Wen zhaolun like a silent praise to Lingshan sect and Qianji Hall, which made him very useful, When Wen zhaolun's eyes turned to Yan Liqiang's face, the deputy hall leader of Qianji hall was slightly stunned, because the look on Yan Liqiang's face was not shocked at all, but looked at the "unprecedented" machine made by Qianji Hall of Lingshan school with a kind of pondering and looking at it. Shouldn't it be a look of shock and admiration to see such a thing that no one can make? What'd you mean by that? Wen zhaolun was a little unhappy. "Cough... Cough... What do you think of this water lighter made by Qianji Hall of Lingshan sect?" The name of the water lighter, which sounds strange to Yan Liqiang, is the name given to the steam engine by Lingshan. In short, it is a machine that can be driven by the power of water and fire“ Brother Zhang is really worthy of being the first mechanism master of the great man. This... Water... Water lighter made by Qianji hall is definitely the first in silver mainland. I admire it, admire it! " Yan Liqiang smiled and praised. Hearing Yan Liqiang say so, Wen zhaolun finally showed a smile on his face and felt that Yan Liqiang was modest“ Li Qiang, how can the flywheel slow down... "After staring at the steam engine for a long time, Yan Dechang couldn't help asking a question“ Oh, it's actually very simple to slow down the flywheel. Father, look, the valve on the copper pipe can be controlled. Pull up the valve, the flywheel will slow down, open up, and the flywheel speed will be faster... "Yan Liqiang walked over and demonstrated with his own hand by pulling the steam valve connected to the boiler copper pipe. Seeing Yan Liqiang move his hand, Wen zhaolun and several disciples of Lingshan sect nearby were stunned. They haven't said how to control the water lighter. How can Yan Liqiang know at a glance“ Then why can the valve control the speed of the flywheel? " Zhou Tiezhu also scratched his head and asked“ That's because after the water in the copper water tank is heated, the generated steam will enter the cylinder from the copper pipe. This valve controls the size of steam in the copper pipe. If the steam is small, the speed of the flywheel will be slow. If there is more steam, the speed of the flywheel will be 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 on fire, the valve cannot be completely closed. After the vent valve is closed, a vent switch here must be opened. If all valves are closed to burn water, the water tank will explode over time, which is very dangerous, If there is someone nearby, there may be casualties... "Oh, will this thing explode?" Zhou Tiezhu asked in surprise“ Of course! " Wen zhaolun was already surprised, because when he began to study and manufacture this thing at Qianji hall, as Yan Liqiang said, there was an accident. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the accident. When the boiler exploded, there was no one around, but made a workshop a mess. Since then, Zhang yourong just thought of installing a vent for the boiler... "I heard the hall leader say that childe Yan's attainments in the way of mechanism and lattice are extraordinary. After seeing this water lighter, can you guess where our hall leader spent the most effort in building this thing?" Wen zhaolun asked again with some perseverance. Yan Liqiang smiled and pointed to the inconspicuous condensing device under the cylinder. "You didn't have this thing on the water lighter first built by Qianji hall. This thing must have been made by brother Zhang last. Brother Zhang experimented countless times and spent a lot of time and energy. I don't know if I guessed right!"“ Ah... "Wen zhaolun stared at Yan Liqiang in a daze. The disciples of Lingshan sect nearby looked at Yan Liqiang like seeing a ghost. As soon as the so-called expert stretched out his hand, he knew whether there was any. Yan Liqiang was just a simple sentence, which immediately stopped Wen zhaolun and several disciples of Lingshan sect“ Uncle Qian, do you think the manufacturing bureau can also make this thing? " Yan Liqiang turns to Qian su... This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation
