Chapter 592

The explosion of Bowen college was just a false alarm, which made Xiao Ming feel relieved.

However, the attempt of smokeless powder still showed him the enthusiasm of the students. For more than three years, the science and technology of Qingzhou has not completely surpassed that of the West. However, with the efforts of these students, he believes that there will be trains, electricity and internal combustion engines. It will not take long for Chongqing to become a world leader in science and technology Holy land to come.

Knowing the situation, Xiao Ming explained Lu Tong's establishment of the chemical industry, and then took advantage of today's free time to inspect various workshops in Qingzhou.

With the establishment of the steam engine workshop, the steam engine began to be used in more and more machinery. During the period of attacking Weidi, the drilling machine used the steam engine, the boring machine used the steam engine, the milling machine and the grinder also used the steam engine.

Nowadays, not only the production speed of gun barrel is increasing rapidly, but also the production speed of spare parts of flint gun is greatly accelerated, because the craftsman does not need to use the traditional manual grinding method, but directly uses mechanical grinding.

In addition to the speed-up of the military industry driven by the steam engine, the textile industry under the control of Fei yue'er is also booming, and the output and quality of cloth have been greatly improved.

However, this is only part of the role of the steam engine. Lin Wentao is leading the students of the research institute to prepare to use the steam engine in the chemical industry and metallurgical industry.

After all, the steam engine can move in a straight line, and it can also be transformed into a circular motion through the crankshaft and flywheel. It can be said that the steam engine of this era is a truly omnipotent machine. Even many modern industries still use the steam engine. Now his only regret is that the steam engine can only be operated in a small area of Qingzhou. As for other states and counties, they are now under the influence of steam The impact of the machine is very small.

However, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the meal has to be eaten one by one.

In the workshop area, Xiao Ming first went to the iron and steel workshop. Now Lin Wentao has installed two steam engines here. When he arrived, the steam engine was driving the bellows to blow air into the converter.

Below the converter is the burning coal. On the observation platform above the converter, there are craftsmen who supervise the molten steel. Once the molten steel is refined, the craftsmen below will pull the converter and make it tilt.

At this time, the molten steel in the converter will flow out along the tapping hole, and flow down from the groove on the other side into various molds for molding.

In addition to the bellows using steam power, today's iron and steel workshop also has its own forging hammer, but different from the water hammer, at this time the use of steam power stable forging hammer.

Some large steel structures are gradually formed under the beating of this forging hammer.

Satisfied with the reform of the iron and steel workshop, Xiao Ming went to the paper mill again. Since the establishment of Xiao Ming, the industry has been hand-made, so the output of the paper mill has not been high.

Now the steam engine is the most important pulping stage in the papermaking process, which makes the output of papermaking slurry rise suddenly. Now the craftsmen only need to be responsible for the later work of surfing the Internet and pressing. In this way, most craftsmen are free to devote themselves to the later work, and the paper production is also doubled.

From the paper mill, Xiao Ming went to the white granulated sugar mill again. Just like the pulping stage of paper materials, the white granulated sugar mill now gives the crushing of sugarcane to the steam engine.

When he combined the steam engine with other machines, Xiao Ming naturally did not forget to give Lin Wentao the structure of these simple machines, which were produced by Lin Wentao and others in the iron and steel workshop.

After all, the structure of the crusher is very simple, just like a large cylinder with a fan blade turbine.

After learning about the pilot experiment of steam engine, Xiao Ming finally went to Lin Wentao's steam engine workshop. In order to obtain raw materials conveniently, the steam engine workshop is located on the inside of the workshop area, only one kilometer away from the steel workshop.

When he arrived at the workshop, Lin Wentao was talking to the students in the workshop's research room.

"Your Highness." Seeing Xiao Ming coming, Lin Wentao saluted, and the students in the research room looked excited.

Nodding, Xiao Ming looked at the picture on the blackboard of the research room and said, "are you studying the conveyor belt of the coal mine?"

"Yes, your highness, the steam engine needs a lot of coal, but there are not many coal mines in Qingzhou, and most of them are deep mines. If the steam engine is used to pump water and transport coal, the output of the mining area will increase a lot, and once the coal mine can be used, other mines can also be used, so that the metallurgical industry in Qingzhou can develop." Lin Wentao said: "Your Highness once said that what Qingzhou lacks now is raw materials, so the lower official wants to get the machinery needed by the mine first."

Hearing this, Xiao Ming smiles happily. In the past three or four years, the progress of these students has been increasing day by day. He has worked hard to write science and technology books every day, but it is not in vain.

"You really want what I think, but what I want to tell you this time is, for example, to separate machinery and steam engine directly, and let some students of the research institute be responsible for the research of machinery in various industries." Xiao Ming said.

In modern times, mechanics is an independent discipline. Steam engine only provides power, and machinery is the purpose of using power. Now with steam engine, Xiao Ming can teach Lin Wentao and others the mechanical knowledge in the science and Technology Library.Lin Wentao thought about it. Now the main work of the research institute has really shifted from steam engine to machinery. He said to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, it's OK. Now some machinery has come from scratch. We need a special part of people to be responsible for it."

Xiao Ming smiles. The books of Bowen college are only a part of it. It can be said that they are just simple junior high school knowledge plus some senior high school knowledge, while mechanics is a major of Ba Jing University.

Moreover, in order to prevent technology leakage, he has always selected important technologies from books and compiled them into a special volume for each laboratory and Research Institute to study independently.

So he said, "it's too time-consuming to start from scratch. I will give you a mechanical book. You just need to make the machinery of various industries according to the books."

Lin Wentao was a little shocked. With his understanding of scientific knowledge, he became more and more aware that any subject in Bowen college needs a lot of energy to achieve something. However, Xiao Ming played down everything and seemed to be proficient in all knowledge.

Thinking of this, he admired Xiao Ming more and more. This kind of admiration is not a common people's admiration for the monarch, but for the profound people.

Xiao Ming chatted with the students of the Research Institute for a while before he went to Qingzhou camp. He was ready for food and firearms. The rest was the army.
