The correct way to open the sprite

When these dwarves arrived at the camp, Feng Yu's second-generation machine tool had already built two machines, one for drilling holes and the other for thread processing.

However, due to power reasons, these two machine tools can only process copper metals. If they want to process steel, the two animals pulling the turntable are not capable.

Feng Yu originally planned to use copper to make a steam engine, and then rely on the power of the steam engine to make special machine tools, increase the power again, and make iron parts. But now, enough copper to make a steam engine has arrived.

The machine he designed seemed extremely complex to the dwarf craftsmen, and no one knew what it was used for. As the parts were produced one by one, Feng Yu conducted installation tests, and more and more people watched.

Clarence knew that Feng Yu had started making things from his hometown again, so he came over early to watch. When the machine was almost assembled, even Nicole came with Anthony. It seemed that Nicole knew that her grandfather could not save face, so she gave him Hit the stairs and go down.

But Feng Yu was not in the mood to care about those things now. He was busy lining up people to add water. This job was eventually taken away by Dick.The short guy moved a bench and stumbled to fill up the water. Allen, who was lighting a fire under it, didn't stop him. He was so angry that he added flint and cursed at the same time, threatening to stop drinking for this muscular guy.

Because they are all metal-sealed, although the texture of copper is soft, the sealability is still somewhat unsatisfactory. This requires continuous improvement of processing accuracy and reduction of component tolerances, but it cannot fundamentally solve the problem, but fortunately it does not affect use.

Feng Yu had already greased the running parts of the machine and was waiting for the water to boil.

When the piston was slowly pushed by the water vapor, Allen shouted in surprise: "It's moving, it's really moving."

Feng Yu hurriedly stopped him: "Brother, please keep your voice down. If you call me that again, our book will be banned."

Allen didn't understand what Feng Yu meant, but when he heard the word "kill", he quickly took a few steps back and turned the crowd of several dwarf blacksmiths watching behind him onto their backs. The scene suddenly became chaotic.

As more and more steam was produced, the flywheel driven by the piston rotated faster and faster, and the onlookers screamed in surprise.

In the commotion, Dick shouted: "Brother Darren, please turn off the clutch?"

The clutch is the power separation device between the steam engine and the machine tool designed by Feng Yu. It uses a violent friction method. As Feng Yu nodded, Dick followed the steps taught by Feng Yu in advance and pushed the lever to make the clutch device fit. The machine tool's knife His head turned quickly.

Dick took the pre-poured metal blanks one by one and started processing them.

"Brother Darren, this thing is so strong. Look, even iron parts can be easily drilled into it."

Feng Yu hurriedly said: "Don't forget to sprinkle water. The high temperature of friction will reduce the hardness of the cutter head."

Allen shouted from the side: "The water is coming, the water is coming"

Allen sprinkled water and asked: "Brother Darren, isn't this part still on this big machine? Do you still want to build this machine?"

Feng Yu nodded and said: "This thing is called a steam engine, which relies on steam to push the piston in the cylinder to generate power.

But you are right, we still need to continue to build steam engines, and we need three machine tools alone.

Then we will improve it and produce another type of steam engine suitable for agricultural production. We can place it next to the salt field next to the canal, and use the steam engine to drive the water pump to pump seawater into the wasteland salt field.

There is also one installed beside the fields for halfling brothers, so that as long as you have the canal repaired, you don't need to carry water so hard.This way we can cultivate more fields and even grow fruit trees and delicate vegetables.

With this thing, we can use the inexhaustible water from the Lengshui River to irrigate a ten thousand acres of fertile farmland in the wilderness. "

Allen said in surprise: "Ah, what kind of water pump can it help us halflings carry water?"

Feng Yu patted Allen and said: "Don't worry, you won't need halfling brothers to carry water anymore. But you have to treat Dick to a drink. After all, dwarf brothers need to help make this kind of machine."

Feng Yu's nose felt sour every time he saw the short halfling carrying a heavy barrel to water the crops in the wasteland.

The second purpose of making the steam engine was to solve the height difference between the wasteland and the Lengshui River, freeing up the halfling labor force to cultivate more land and satisfy Feng Yu's future layout of Cattail City.

As a child from China, Feng Yu is well aware of the important role of agriculture. After solving the water shortage problem in the wasteland, the large wasteland along the Lengshui River can be turned into a large area of ​​fertile farmland.

These fertile fields with no shortage of water were exactly what Feng Yu had prepared to seduce the halflings.

Allen looked at Feng Yu blankly: "Brother Darren, can this steam engine really bring the river water to the wasteland?"

Feng Yu secretly glanced at Anthony who was not far away, and said: "Of course, this is one of the reasons why I made this kind of machine. It is too difficult for the halfling brothers to carry water to water the crops. In order to fill the stomachs of everyone in the camp, , you are tired."

Allen's eyes were red, and he almost cried when he looked at Feng Yu.

Feng Yu said to them: "In fact, steam engines can not only drive machine tools and pump water, but as long as they are matched with corresponding machinery, they can do more work. They can lift larger hammers to beat iron embryos, weave cloth, and thresh grains. , grind flour.

It is like our body, and the machine is like our hands. As long as it is a simple job, it can help us complete it by designing the corresponding machinery.In my hometown, people there invented many complex machines, and those machines have replaced our work.

In this way, we will have more time to learn and create more advanced machines. This is the form of civilization we have there.

Okay, we still have work to do here. Please try not to watch or talk. Processing parts of this kind of machine is very troublesome and requires very delicate operations, so please don't disturb these craftsmen. "

This is what Feng Yu said, but these strange people didn't move at all, but the voices disappeared, and they just stared at the steam engine, as if it was inlaid with peerless jewelry, which made Feng Yu extremely helpless.

While processing the parts, Dick asked: "Brother Darren, can this machine be used in ore mining?"

"Yes, it can drive a winch to pull ore or drill holes. Sorry, I really don't know how to mine. But as long as you invent the corresponding mechanical structure, it can do a lot of things."

Allen suddenly realized and said: "Oh, I understand, is it right to turn on the winch and pull the bucket from the river to the wasteland?"
