Chapter 660

PS: there are chapters, but later

"steam locomotive?"

"What is it? This Lin Wentao is really a wonderful flower. I don't know what he has done this time. "

"He dares to say in court that it must also be a very important thing."

“……”

In their eyes, Lin Wentao has always been mysterious. Moreover, because these people do not participate in government affairs, they do not pay much attention to Lin Wentao.

Officials didn't understand, but Xiao Ming did. After overcoming the problem of steam engine, Lin Wentao shifted his focus to the use of steam engine.

Xiao Ming has been in Qingzhou all this time. When he is free, he goes to Lin Wentao's workshop to discuss with him all kinds of machinery powered by steam engine.

Naturally, the steam locomotive and steam ship were the focus of their discussion, but the armored ship with steam engine was difficult to build without modern shipyard, so he focused on the steam locomotive.

After living here for five years, Xiao Ming's deepest feeling is that there is too much traffic in this era.

Both military transportation and material transportation are quite slow, and this slow pace seriously restricts the development of industry.

Because of the emergence of steam engine, the consumption of industrial materials in Qingzhou has increased by more than one level, while the efficiency of transportation has hardly changed.

So he guided Lin Wentao personally and taught him with scientific and technological crystal stones. With enough industrial ability, the steam locomotive was successfully manufactured.

"I don't think you know what a steam locomotive is. Today I'll take you to have a look." Xiao Ming said.

Now the steam engine and steel-making technology in Qingzhou have made a leap, which means that the steel parts needed by the western industrial revolution can be produced in Qingzhou.

In this way, the next logical thing is the explosive appearance of all kinds of steam machinery, and this is what he will do next.

With the fall of the king of Yan, the north gradually became stable, and his desire to establish and improve the industrial system should be realized step by step.

To this end, in addition to dealing with government affairs, Xiao Ming is ready to personally participate in the construction of the industrial system, and five years of talent preparation has also given him a number of available people.

"I'll do it!" said the ministers, who were also very interested in steam locomotives.

Nodding, Xiao Ming took the officials with Lin Wentao to the steam engine workshop.

"Emperor, this is the steam engine locomotive." Lin Wentao said excitedly.

At this time, the steam locomotive was parked on a 100 meter long rail. At the moment when he saw the front of the locomotive, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a familiar feeling.

now this thing is the modern steam locomotive, commonly known as the cheese car.

In short, this steam locomotive is a side lying steam engine, which is fixed on a car with wheels. Through the connecting rod crankshaft combined with the reciprocating motion of the flywheel, it drives the wheel to rotate, and makes the locomotive move along the rail.

"Your Highness, this steam locomotive took us more than half a year." Lin Wentao felt that during this period of time, they worked day and night on research, production and assembly.

Now the steam locomotive is finally able to walk along the railway track. Although the speed is not very fast in his opinion, the potential in the future is absolutely huge.

"Isn't this a big iron can?" Fiji squinted.

Pang Yukun also nodded, Xiao Ming and Lin Wentao look very excited, but they are confused.

In modern times, the first steam engine locomotive in the world was invented by George Stephenson in 1814. According to the current level of the west, it is estimated that this kind of thing will appear in 40 or 50 years.

But now he is the first one to make a steam locomotive. Although the steam locomotive is rough and crude, it doesn't matter if it's ugly, as long as it can run.

Seeing that many officials were dismissive, Lin Wentao said, "it's really a big iron pot, but it's a big iron pot that can walk."

Then he did not explain, but said to the two craftsmen who were in charge of driving the steam locomotive: "now you two operate the locomotive for the emperor."

They nodded and climbed onto the steam locomotive. One of the craftsmen picked up a shovel to buy coal for the boiler, while the other was staring at the steam pressure gauge.

This pressure gauge was made by a craftsman when Lin Wentao developed a steam engine. Now it can be used in steam locomotives.

In this way, the locomotive driver can judge the pressure in the boiler and adjust the steam pressure.

The tracks in the workshop were naturally made by Lin Wentao by Xiao Ming. These tracks form a circle along the wide workshop, so that the locomotive can move in this circle.

But these tracks also consumed a lot of steel, which made him very painful.

But now with the steam locomotive, it's all worth it, because the next step is to build a railway along the mining area, so that coal and iron ore can be continuously transported to Qingzhou.

"Wu Wu Wu..."The steam pressure inside the steam locomotive is getting higher and higher. At this time, the craftsman pulls the whistle. In a "wheezing" sound, the steam locomotive moves forward slowly along the rail.

This scene immediately surprised the officials. They kept a distance from the steam engine locomotives for fear that the steel monster would hurt people.

Lin Wentao saw the embarrassed appearance of these officials, he finally laughed, who let these officials do not understand anything on the steam locomotive.

"Wheeze, wheeze..." The connecting rod of the steam locomotive tilts up and down and drives the wheels to rotate through the flywheel and crankshaft. At this time, the heavy wheels finally move.

With the locomotive moving, the speed of the locomotive is also gradually accelerated. In the first lap, the locomotive is half as slow as a person walking, and in the second lap, it is like riding a bicycle.

In the third lap, it was already galloping like a horse.

Under such a huge power, a kind of officials' face is very wonderful. At this moment, they may be really convinced by science and technology from the heart, and no longer be any sages' philosophy.

Xiao Ming brought them here to witness the real power of science and technology. Otherwise, these officials would not pay attention to science and technology in their bones, holding on to Confucian classics.

What he wants is that when they dream of this steel monster in the middle of the night, they will suddenly wake up.

"Is this steam locomotive all right, your highness?" Lin Wentao said excitedly.

Xiao Ming nodded. This locomotive was designed for the maximum power that Qingzhou can achieve. After all, the efficiency of the steam engine and the speed of the locomotive can't be improved.

Now Lin Wentao has just improved Watt's steam engine to make it more efficient. Therefore, this kind of locomotive can only be compared with the original one, but it's enough for Xiao Ming.
