I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 210 Rare Things
Inside a workshop in Shaofu.

The air at this time was completely quiet, and only a rather huge machine could be seen on the ground.

This machine looks rather hideous in appearance.

There are many rivets connected to it, as well as exposed connecting rods.

There are also many crankshafts.

It looks very simple, but it has a steampunk aesthetic from top to bottom.

have to say.

Raw industrial machinery looks just that beautiful.

on its rough appearance.

The machinery of the industrial era, with exposed gears and huge connecting shafts.

And the loud noise it makes when it starts up.

They all seemed so shocking.

Not like industrial equipment from the electrical age.

There doesn't seem to be the slightest sense of deterrence.

At this moment, he looked at the huge steel behemoth in front of him.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

Then he couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion, he said.

"This thing looks quite scary, and I'm afraid it uses a lot of steel. It should use at least a few thousand catties of iron!"

"Father is wise!"

After hearing what Ying Zheng said.

Ying Changsheng nodded again and again.

He explained to Yingzheng.

"The total weight of this steam engine consumes approximately 730 kilograms of steel!"

"It's so heavy!"

After hearing it so hard.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but gasped.

He said with a sigh.

"Fortunately, my Daqin has no shortage of steel. If it was before, the amount of steel consumed by casting such a steam engine would be enough to arm hundreds of soldiers!"

Yes, a steam engine weighing more than 6000 kilograms.

It doesn't sound too heavy to say.

Because of this large machine.

It weighs only three tons.

What is it?

To know.

Any truck in the future will weigh that much.

I only heard Ying Changsheng smiling and talking to Ying Zheng.

"Although a lot of steel is consumed, it is nothing compared to the effects it can produce. Moreover, my father does not know that this steam engine will be built in the future, bigger and heavier. Woolen cloth!"

"The number of steam engines in the future may reach tens of thousands of catties or hundreds of thousands of catties!"

After hearing the number Ying Changsheng said.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but gasped.

he thinks.

This weight is simply too great.

You need to know how much steel was produced each year before.

Did you know that such a steam engine consumes so much steel.

This is in such an era of backward productivity.

It really made Yingzheng shocked and inexplicable.

And it also made him a little worried.

With so much consumption, can the steam engine made of fine steel play its due effect?

Thinking of winning the government here, I couldn't help thinking about the effect of the steam engine.

I just saw him wave his hand.

Said to Ying Changsheng in front of him.

"Stop talking nonsense, start this steam engine quickly, and let me see what the steam engine is for!"

"Then father, take your time and watch!"

Ying Changsheng said with a smile, and then waved his hand to signal the craftsman next to him.

"Start up this steam engine immediately!"

"Yes."

The trained craftsman on the side nodded.

Immediately, he was the first to start the blower next to the boiler.

This blower is used to blow air.

After all, the steam engine is burned with coal, and the sharpness is sufficient to allow the coal to burn fully.

This blower does not require human labor.

In the beginning, the power source above was the clockwork.

And when the steam engine starts.

Steam power will power the blowers above it.

This can save a lot of manpower.

I only saw it after the blower started.

The workers then shoveled a few shovels of coal into the boiler of the steam engine and into the furnace below.

Immediately, some alcohol was poured into it.

Alcohol has been able to be produced on a large scale in the current Daxian.

It is no longer a rare thing.

After the alcohol is spilled.

Can be used as fuel.

Coal can be ignited quickly.

After the alcohol was spilled, the worker immediately took out the torch in his hand.

Then the alcohol was ignited.

In an instant, the alcohol on the coal in the boiler burned violently, and then quickly burned the coal.

Under the action of the blower, the fire in the boiler burns rapidly.

The flames were also rising.

At the same time, the blower was wound up several times over time.

At this moment.

inside the boiler.

The steam finally came out.

With the steam pressure port above.

Strong steam came out.

For a while, the surrounding area was filled with smoke.

Under Ying Zheng's shocking eyes, the workers beside the steam engine.

Immediately, the switch was activated to introduce the steam into the piston.

For a while under the action of steam, the piston in the steam cylinder.

Start moving up and down.

random.

It drives the connecting rod, and the connecting rod drives the crankshaft above, and the flywheel next to the steam engine.

Turning rapidly.

It's getting faster.

They can no longer see the trajectory of their activities.

It's about winning politics.

A look of surprise.

After watching Ying Zheng for a while, I have seen the power of this steamer.

Ying Changsheng then said to Ying Zheng.

"What do you think of this, Father?"

“It’s really good!”

Ying Zheng couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

Then he said to Ying Changsheng on the side.

"How does this machine start, and what is its function? Such a great force must be used, otherwise, it would be a waste to just let him idle here?"

"Father Emperor Yingming's son thinks so too!"

Ying made a long sound and then nodded towards Ying Zheng.

indeed.

The steam engine was invented, but there is still a problem to be considered, that is how to apply the steam engine to practice.

If such a machine is only used for performance, it would be too wasteful.

After all, so much coal is consumed in one start.

Also consumed so much steel.

If it's just for viewing, it would be too wasteful.

We must try our best to put this thing into practice.

I only heard Ying Changsheng explain to Ying Zheng.

"The effect of this steam engine is very good. As for the principle of it, it is very simple to say. It is nothing more than burning coal and then evaporating water to produce water vapor, and the water vapor will generate power under high pressure, thus driving the machine. …”

"So it is!"

Ying Zheng actually half-understands, but this does not prevent him from feeling that he understands.

I only heard Ying Zheng say.

"Then what is the use of this thing? Let's march and fight. This thing is too heavy and hard to carry. As for other places..."

Speaking of Yingzheng, he frowned and thought hard.

But Ying Changsheng had already mentioned the purpose of a steam engine.

He said with a smile.

"The steam engine can be used in many places, but it requires research and a matching machine. Erchen has already made the simplest machine here. I don't know if you want to take a look, Father? Let's see it?"
