Chapter 445: Newcomen steam engine

The two walked along the hard road of Qingzhou City to the workshop area, and Rod was watched like animals along the way. ? Eight? One Chinese W ㈠ WW. 81ZW. COM
Leading Luode, the two arrived at the workshop area, where the craftsmen were building a new workshop.
There were piles of cement, sand, and stones beside the building under construction. Xiao Ming brought Luo Luo over. The craftsmen immediately stopped and stood aside respectfully. Luo Luo came forward and grabbed a handful of cement to Luo Luo. "This is cement, mixed with water, sand and stones, and a few things are mixed together. After three or four days, the hardness will be the same as the road surface just now."
Rod glanced at something like flour, and he couldn't believe it. He looked at several craftsmen who were mixing concrete, "This road is so hard, do you rely on it?"
"Yes, don't underestimate it, don't think that only you Europe will have such magical things." Then, Xiao Ming went to the mixing concrete place and picked up a few condensed lumps and returned to Rod's side. "You try Let’s take a look. This is a block of cement that hasn’t set for a long time. It’s not hard enough, but after a few days it’s hard to cut even with a sword."
Rod took it, using a lot of strength in his hand to crush the cement block into powder, shocked in his heart.
He once thought that Dayu was just a backward civilization. Even if the king of Qi had flint and artillery, he was only learning from Europe, but now everything is wrong.
There are things that are not available in Europe, which is incredible.
This cement was just an episode. Xiao Ming knew that what Luodes wanted to see was not cement and other people's livelihood things, so he brought Luode to the Qingzhou army.
After seeing the equipment and training of the Qingzhou Army again, Luo Luo was not well, his body was trembling when walking in the barracks, and Lu Fei and the others seemed to be training harder in order to shock Luo Luo.
After that, Xiao Ming took Luo Luo to the Department of Weaponry. The military workshop looked at Qingzhou's military industry foundation like a horse. After reading these things, Luo Luo looked like a that had been defeated.
"Ambassador Rod, how is this king's Qingzhou?" Xiao Ming asked with a smile after walking a few places.
Rod's smile was somewhat reluctant. He said: "His Royal Highness is beyond my expectation. After I return, I will talk to Earl Claire about Ryukyu Island."
Xiao Ming nodded. From Luo Luo's expression, he knew that Luo Luo was shocked.
The reason why he took Rhode to visit these places was to defeat the soldiers without fighting. Now the attitude of the Dutch has softened, and to frighten them again, this Ryukyu said that they must not be brought back without blood.
It seemed that he had been stimulated, and Rod had no plans to stay in Qingzhou. He had a gloomy face and didn't know what he was thinking.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Ming said: "Ambassador Rod, it's almost time for dinner, so why not go to the palace for dinner."
"No, I think I must rush back."
"All right," Xiao Ming said. He didn't want to entertain the arrogant Dutch.
Luo Luo declined the invitation, and went to Dengzhou under the protection of the guards to rush back to Ryukyu.
Watching Luode leave, Xiao Ming turned and prepared to go back. At this moment, Liang Yubin was riding his horse towards him.
When he arrived at Xiao Ming, Liang Yubin said excitedly: "His Royal Highness, Lin Wentao got out the steam pump."
"Pumping steam engine?" Xiao Ming was startled when he heard the words. It's not Newcomen steam engine, right?
Thinking of this, he immediately went to Bowen Academy by Liang Yubin.
When he arrived at Bowen College, Liang Yubin directly led Xiao Ming to the laboratory of the School of Physics.
At this time, the laboratory was blocked by the students of the college, and everyone was paying attention to the new things that Lin Wentao had made.
"Not bad!"
The steam engine in front of Xiao Ming is just a simple steam engine model, not a full-scale steam engine.
This steam engine is composed of two parts, one is a conical boiler, this part belongs to the steam engine, and the other part is connected by a connecting rod is the pumping part. At this time, the other half can realize the water in the tank through the continuous back and forth movement of the connecting rod. Draw it up.
The successful development of the steam engine made the students of the academy inspiring. Lin Wentao was full of tears. After the last explosion, he finally developed the Newcomen steam engine.
Although this kind of steam engine can only be used to lift water, it is not a true double steam engine, but it is the progress of Qingzhou, the college of physics.
"Wen Tao, you have done a great job!" Xiao Ming patted Du Zhiping on the shoulder.
So far, the difficulty of this steam engine is undoubtedly the biggest, after all, it jumped directly from the poor and white to the complicated equipment like the steam engine.
Lin Wentao has to solve not only the steam problem but also the connecting rod problem. He said, "Let's talk about it, what reward do you want!"
Lin Wentao said at this time: "His Royal Highness, I don't want any rewards. This Newcomen steam engine is just the most basic steam engine. When I build a multiple steam engine, please reward me again."
Xiao Ming nodded. He was very satisfied. Now Lin Wentao has changed from studying steam engines for knighthood to loving science. He said, "Okay, this king promises you."
Even though Lin Wentao didn't want anything this time, Xiao Ming still rewarded him with a thousand taels of silver. He wanted to show other students that everything was possible only if they were willing to work hard.
The basic model of the Newcomen steam engine was successfully developed. Xiao Ming immediately asked Lin Wentao to study the construction of a Newcomen steam pump for the mine. In terms of the current number of mines in Xiao Ming, more than 30 pumping water was required at a time. The field can dig further down.
After all, many minerals in his fief belong to deep mines ~ EbookFREE.me~ Once the mine is flooded, it cannot be constructed. Now that the Newcomen steam engine is available, he can increase the efficiency of the mineral many times.
However, at this time, the Newcomen steam engine is only the most primitive steam engine, and it consumes a lot of coal and is only suitable for use in mines.
As the New Year was approaching, Xiao Ming didn't expect Bowen Academy to be able to give him such a surprise at this time.
He is going to put the construction of the Newcomen steam engine on the agenda, and at the same time let the equipment department cooperate with Lin Wentao to build a real steam engine. After all, Lin Wentao is experimenting with only small models he made, and the real restoration still requires the cooperation of a large number of craftsmen.
Having praised Lin Wentao and others, Xiao Ming returned to the palace excitedly. Although the Newcomen steam engine was the simplest steam engine, the later steam engine was continuously improved through this steam engine to obtain the later Watt steam engine.
Science is not sought overnight, but a step-by-step exploration. Now Lin Wentao has found the way to a steam engine, and he believes that it will not take long for him to develop a real steam engine.
