Chapter 1278： Steam train development progress

On February 19th of the eighth year of Tianxuan, Qu Maotian got up before it was completely bright, and personally sent Su Yan to the civilian pier outside the fisherman's village. After watching the warship that transported Su Yan back to Yancheng Port leave the civilian pier, Then he took out the magic communication crystal.

After flipping through the magic communication crystal for a while, Qu Mao sent a remote communication application to Selta Delta. After connecting to the remote communication, Qu Mao asked Selta Delta to hunt for the upgraded new military force on Dry Island. Gather the superheroes and wait for yourself at the Yidao Naval Port at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.

  In this wave of new heroes, excluding naval heroes and other professional heroes, there are a total of 51 military heroes. Obviously, Qu Mao intends to send all of them to the Eastern Peninsula battlefield in the Eastern Mainland Bay.

  Tianxuan gathered at Yidao Naval Port at 7 a.m. on February 20th, eight years, that is, early tomorrow morning, the navy has arranged for naval heroes to drive the warship to transport.

Qu Mao thought that there was only one day left before he had to go to the Eastern Peninsula battlefield in the East Continental Bay, so before leaving, Qu Mao found a horse and rode the horse towards the entrance and exit of the underground passage in Nanlai Village, Yi Island. .

  Before leaving, I have to go to the Outlying Island Power Research Institute to see the development progress of the steam train and see if the passenger compartment and cargo compartment have been manufactured.

Although the area of ​​the Holy Land of King Yi's territory has been expanded a lot after several upgrades, the small village of Nanlai is still within the range of Yicheng, and the roads are well repaired, so Qu Mao still rushed to the outlying island within two hours. Power Research Institute.

  Entering the Island Power Research Institute, Qu Mao went straight to the steam train research and development laboratory. Sure enough, Kong Ming, Bi Sheng, Yan Qisheng and eight other young and strange faces were busy in the laboratory.

   Qu Mao looked at it for a while, called Kong Ming to his side, and asked, "Kong Ming, has the steam locomotive that rushed into the sea at the Fucun Shipyard last time been salvaged?"

  Kong Ming turned around and saw that it was Qu Mao who asked the question, so he hurriedly turned around to salute, and said, "Yes, my lord.

  On January 5th, 8th year of Tianxuan, the steam train locomotive that fell into the sea was salvaged, but it took three days to put it back on the rails. Then 50 war horses were used to drag the steam locomotive until January 10, the eighth year of Tianxuan, the steam locomotive was pulled back to the Island Power Research Institute.

After a series of cleaning and repairs, the steam train locomotive has been repaired. Originally, the subordinates thought that the second opening test could be carried out, but Bi Sheng, Yan Qisheng and their research team believed that the current conditions for the second opening test It is not mature, and I hope to further improve the braking system, and then carry out the traffic test. "

   Qu Mao nodded and said: "Although Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng have just graduated, they have been interns at the Institute of Power Research on Outlying Islands for a whole year. This kind of cautious scientific attitude deserves our encouragement.

  Call Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng to show me the improvement progress of the steam locomotive. "

  Kong Ming said: "Yes, my lord, this subordinate is calling Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng."

   Then Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng rushed over excitedly and took Qu Mao to inspect the brake improvement of the steam locomotive. The clutch device and wheel iron disc brake that Qu Mao proposed at the Fucun Shipyard had been improved to the steam locomotive.

Since the steam train locomotive has not started, although Qu Mao has seen the clutch device and the brake plate, he is not sure whether the brake plate and the clutch device are effective, but just by looking at it, Qu Mao feels that the clutch device is still well done There are samples.

  Obviously, Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng still put a little thought into it. Seeing Qu Mao observing the clutch device, Yan Qisheng immediately controlled the clutch device to release and engage the two gear sets.

   Qu Mao thought for a while, and said: "Bi Sheng, Yan Qisheng, I think the current clutch device has made all the points I thought of.

However, we are currently experimenting on the premise that the steam train locomotive is not started. I think this kind of direct separation of the gear set is not a big problem in the static state and the running state, but once the piston gear is rotating at high speed, and the transmission gear is also rotating at high speed. , we will carry out the experiment of re-occlusion, there should be a relatively large risk.

  Of course, if you just separate when braking, let the steam locomotive come to a complete stop, and then re-engage, I don’t think the problem is big, so you have to take this into consideration. "

  Bi Sheng scratched his head and said, "Master, if you say that, my subordinates feel that our design of the clutch device is still not perfect."

   Qu Mao smiled wryly, and said: "I'm just pointing out the problems I see, as for how to improve, that's a matter for you, Yan Qisheng and your team.

  I think it is possible to consider making a set of transmission devices. You can see that the piston gears remain stationary. Will the size of our transmission gears control the power output? ..."

Taking advantage of Qu Mao's eloquent talk, Yan Qisheng quickly took out the paper and pen, and said while recording: "Bi Sheng, what your lord said makes sense. I think it's better to delay until mid-March or In late March, your lord's suggestion was really timely, haven't we been unable to find a way to control the power output before?"

  Bi Sheng did not immediately answer Yan Qisheng's words, but looked at Kong Ming.

   Qu Mao waved his hand and said: "The delay will be until the end of March. Don't be greedy, but be steady and steady. I hope that the next traffic test will be a one-time success.

  Continue to take me to visit the laboratory, I want to see if the samples of the passenger compartment and the cargo compartment have been made. "

Kong Ming led Qu Mao to another laboratory, and said: "My lord, the passenger compartment and the cargo compartment do not have a power system, so they just made a sample each, put it in another laboratory, and did not transport it. to here.

  In the next opening test, we plan to still not carry passenger carriages and cargo carriages, but a pure steam train locomotive opening test.

  At present, in the Power Research Institute, a few more experimental rails have to be built, which have already been planned, but have not yet been built in time. "

   Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Well, you can build more experimental rails, and build them according to the railway construction technology. If you don't have money, you can directly ask Su Yan.

  These basic investments can greatly speed up the progress, but the equipment itself still needs to be rigorous. "

  Kong Ming said with a smile: "Eight scientific researchers have been recruited, and the development speed of steam locomotives has been accelerated a lot.

  After the eight new members are familiar with the steam train research and development project, we will consider expanding the staff. It is estimated that we will have to wait until the graduates in June of the eighth year are selected. "

   Qu Mao nodded and said, "That's fine, I'm not afraid of being late!"
