Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Page 182

Afterwards, every time Zhao Wen said a sentence, Song Yingxing recorded it.

From time to time, Song Yingxing would add a few words in doubt.

After a long time, Song Yingxing put down the brush in his hand and rubbed his sore wrist.

He picked up the rice paper on the table, carefully folded it together, and stuffed it carefully into his arms.

"I really didn't expect that this cement factory was also built by you. I really don't understand. You are obviously a general, how can you have such a great ability.

What you're doing doesn't look like what a military officer would do at all.If you are a scholar, maybe you will have a place in the cabinet in the future. Song Yingxing took a sip of tea, looked at Zhao Wen, and said with disbelief.

A military general can make cement, and he can build such a tall building.Putting these things on Zhao Wen's body made Song Yingxing feel that he didn't look like him no matter what.

Zhao Wen said modestly: "These things are nothing, even the formula of this cement was learned by me accidentally.

Okay, let's not talk about this, the food will be ready soon, sir, let's eat first. "

"Alright, let's eat first." Song Yingxing put down the teacup in his hand, let out a long breath, and said slowly.

When the food was put on the table, Liu Wenzhong and other civil officials also came to the General Military Mansion.

As for those military officers, they are training soldiers now, so they didn't come here.

Liu Wenzhong looked at Zhao Wen who had not yet sat down, arched his hands, and said with a smile on his face, "Is your journey going smoothly, my lord?"

"It's still going well. I've done everything I want to do. By the way, after dinner, come to my place. I'll talk to you about something." Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong, slowly Said.

"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Song Yingxing Song I met in Jinling, this is Mr. Liu Wenzhong Liu, and this is Mr. Qi Qingtian Qi..."

Zhao Wen introduced everyone to Song Yingxing one by one.

Every time Zhao Wen introduced one, Song Yingxing would bow his hands at that person and nod his head.

When all this was over, Zhao Wen sat on the main seat. He looked at the people in the hall, raised his wine glass, and said loudly: "Come, drink up this glass!"

……

"Master Zhao, where is the steam engine you mentioned, take me to see it quickly."

Early the next morning, Zhao Wen, who had woken up and hadn't washed up yet, had just walked into the yard when he saw Song Yingxing approaching him.

Song Yingxing saw Zhao Wen, hurried up to meet him, and asked.

Zhao Wen yawned, and said a little tiredly: "Wait a minute, I'll take you to have a look after I finish washing up."

"Okay, then I'll wait here." Song Yingxing said and sat on the stone bench in the yard, quietly waiting for Zhao Wen.

At this time, Sun Yuanhua walked in from the outside.When he saw Song Yingxing sitting in the yard, he walked over with a smile on his face.

"Brother Song!"

Sun Yuanhua cupped his hands at Song Yingxing with a smile on his face.

Song Yingxing stood up hastily, and saluted Sun Yuanhua back.

"I saw you yesterday, and you and I hit it off right away. Tonight, I'll be the host. Have a good drink?"

Sun Yuanhua is obsessed with the way of firearms, and he has a lot in common with Song Yingxing.

So at the banquet yesterday, the two hit it off immediately and chatted all the time.

"Okay, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Song Yingxing smiled slightly and said slowly.

"What are you two talking about? Why are you smiling so happily?"

After Zhao Wen finished washing, he just walked out of the room when he saw Sun Yuanhua and Song Yingxing chatting with smiles on their faces.

Sun Yuanhua said: "It's nothing, just chatting with Brother Song. We met yesterday and we hit it off right away, so I thought about asking Brother Song to have a drink tonight."

"Brother Sun has a high attainment in the manufacture of firearms. I happened to have a lot of things I wanted to discuss with Brother Sun, so I agreed to him."

When I was in Fengxin, there were very few like-minded people like Song Yingxing.How could Song Yingxing not be excited to see someone with the same interests as himself now?

"If that's the case, then you two should have a good discussion. By the way, let's go quickly. I still have things to do later." Zhao Wen waved at the two of them, and then went outside.

Seeing this, Song Yingxing and Sun Yuanhua also hurriedly chased after him.

Song Yingxing didn't know how to ride a horse, so he sat in the carriage, and Sun Yuanhua also sat in the carriage, accompanying him.

As for Zhao Wen, he rode on a horse and headed for the ironworks.

Today, almost five steam engines have been manufactured in the steam engine workshop of the ironworks.

When Zhao Wen left, he left an order, saying that the manufactured steam engine did not have its own order, and it was forbidden to carry it and use it.So these five steam engines are now in a temporary warehouse outside the workshop.

When Zhao Wen stopped outside the steam engine manufacturing workshop, he heard the huge roar.

Song Yingxing stood outside the workshop, hearing the huge roar, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

Chapter 231

Zhao Wen looked at the horrified Song Yingxing, pointed to the workshop with the tightly closed door, and said slowly, "The steam engine is inside, follow me in."

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he opened the door of the workshop and walked inside.

Song Yingxing stood outside the gate and kept looking inside.

Sun Yuanhua patted Song Yingxing on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't you want to see what a steam engine is? Why don't you go in now?"

Song Yingxing glanced at the extremely busy workers in the workshop, and said to Sun Yuanhua, "The sound is a bit loud. I've never seen anything so loud, so I was a little dazed for a while."

"Haha, I was about the same as you when I first started. Don't look at the loud noise of this steam engine, but this thing is really a treasure. Let's go, I will keep this steam engine. After you see it, you will be surprised."

Sun Yuanhua laughed, looked at Song Yingxing, and then walked into the workshop.

Song Yingxing followed closely behind Sun Yuanhua and headed for the workshop.

At this time, Zhao Wen had already arrived at the workshop.

I saw countless workers building various parts of the steam engine in their respective positions.

Now the workers in the workshop are basically familiar with their jobs, so when building parts, the speed is much faster than when they first started.

"My lord!" A workshop manager watched Zhao Wen walk in, and hurriedly wiped off the sweat from his brow and greeted Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "How is the progress now? How many units have been manufactured?"

"My lord, five steam engines have been manufactured and stored in the temporary warehouse outside the workshop. Now we are building the sixth one, and it is estimated that it will be completed in three or four days." The steward was shirtless, with sweat on his body. It kept flowing.

Although this workshop has several huge windows, the temperature inside is still very high.

Not long after Zhao Wen walked in, sweat broke out on his body.

Because the machines in the workshop are driven by the steam engine, and the steam engine needs to be fired, the temperature in the workshop is naturally a little higher.

It was also fortunate that the steam engine was not placed directly in the workshop, otherwise, the workshop would be too hot to accommodate people.

Zhao Wen wiped off the sweat from his head, looked at the busy workers, and said slowly, "Yes, this progress is not bad."

"Is this a steam engine?" Song Yingxing saw a huge gear in the center of the workshop. This gear was connected to several small gears, and the pinion was connected to the connecting rod, which transmitted the power to each workbench through the connecting rod.

On a huge workbench, driven by gears, a huge iron hammer kept beating an iron plate.

Every time the hammer strikes, it makes a deafening sound.

Song Yingxing looked at the hammer that kept rising and falling, and said with horror: "This thing is really unbelievable. There is such a thing in this world."

Zhao Wen turned around, looked at Song Yingxing, and said slowly: "This is just the power transmitted by the steam engine. The real steam engine is not in the workshop, but in the small house next to the workshop. If you want to see it, I can take you there now."

Song Yingxing took out a booklet and a charcoal pencil from his pocket. He looked at the scene in front of him and said, "My lord, can I draw these things? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really can't believe it There are such horrible things.

If this thing is used to forge weapons, the speed of forging weapons is simply too terrifying. "

Zhao Wen looked at Song Yingxing with a serious face, and said, "Anyway, this is not an important matter. Since you want to paint, then paint."

The connecting rods and gears that transmit power in the workshop are just a combination of simple machinery. These things are the most basic things for Zhao Wen, so it doesn't matter if Song Yingxing draws them.

As soon as Song Yingxing heard that he could draw, the charcoal in his hand immediately began to outline on the booklet.

Zhao Wen walked to Song Yingxing's side, looked at the picture he drew on the pamphlet, and couldn't help thinking: "Song Yingxing is indeed a professional. It took only a moment to outline the subject."

Song Yingxing's drawing speed was very fast, and it didn't take long to draw all the gears and transmission devices in the workshop on the pamphlet.

Song Yingxing looked at the drawings on the brochure, and couldn't help nodding his head in praise: "This transmission device is really exquisite, it takes a lot of wisdom to make such an exquisite transmission device. I'm afraid no one can beat the transmission device." Yu Gong lost the class."

Sun Yuanhua stood beside Song Yingxing, laughed and said, "This man is far away in the sky, but he is close in front of us, and he was made by adults."

"What? It was made by adults? This is too incredible!" Song Yingxing put the booklet into his arms and looked at Zhao Wen in shock.

The man in front of him couldn't help but be able to fight wars, and he could make cement, and now he could make such an ingenious teleportation device.

Any one of these three is enough for others to study for a lifetime.

Song Yingxing took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and said to Zhao Wen, "I originally thought that I dare not say that there is no one before or after this aspect, but in this area of ​​Ming Dynasty, I should be one of the best. But I will see you today." My lord, I realized that I was a frog in a well, very short-sighted."

Song Yingxing cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong as he spoke, then bent down and bowed to Zhao Wengong.

Song Yingxing had never convinced many people in his life, but now he admired Zhao Wen from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Wen hurriedly supported Song Yingxing, and said anxiously: "Mr. Song, I really can't be such a big gift, get up quickly, get up quickly."

"As the saying goes, there is a specialization in art, and there is a priority in learning. You don't need to belittle yourself so much. In the future, with your ability, you will definitely achieve a lot." Zhao Wen pulled Song Yingxing up, and said earnestly.

"Brother Song, don't you want to see the steam engine? Now the steam engine is in the next room." Sun Yuanhua looked at Song Yingxing who was pulled up by Zhao Wen, and said slowly.

"Come with me." Zhao Wen said, and then walked in through a small door of the workshop with Song Yingxing.

This small door is the passage between the workshop and the house.

This passage is made for the convenience of entry and exit.

When Song Yingxing came to the room where the steam engine was placed, the puzzled expression on his face became more serious.

I saw a huge water tank-like thing held in mid-air by several extremely strong iron frames, and there was a fire under the iron frames.

And the workers next to them kept adding coal to the fire.

Heat waves billowed throughout the room, and sparks jumped out of the fire from time to time.

Song Yingxing pointed to the boiler and looked at Zhao Wen, "Is this the steam engine you told me about?"

"It's just the boiler of the steam engine, it's part of the steam engine.

This steam engine is mainly composed of a boiler, a cylinder, pipes connecting the boiler and the cylinder, and a transmission device.

What was in the workshop just now was the transmission.And here is where the power comes in. "

Zhao Wen pointed to the cylinder close to the wall, and explained to Song Yingxing: "This thing is the cylinder, and this cylinder is connected to a huge gear.

The one I saw in the workshop just now is the gear on the cylinder. In order to run better, the wall between the gear and the cylinder was directly pierced by me. "

"But how does this work?" Song Yingxing looked at the water vapor constantly escaping from the top of the cylinder, and asked suspiciously.

"There are two sub-pipes on the top of the cylinder, and the sub-pipes are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the cylinder. The sub-pipes are directly connected to the boiler through the main pipe.

The water vapor generated in the boiler will pass through the pipes connected to the cylinder, first of all, the sub-pipes above the cylinder, which will press the piston in the cylinder down.

When the piston is pressed down, the one-way valve at the top of the cylinder will open. At this time, the valve of the upper pipeline will be closed, and the valve of the lower pipeline will be opened.

At this time, the piston in the cylinder will be pressed upwards under the action of water vapor.

When the piston reaches the highest point, the one-way valve under the cylinder will open, and the valve in the sub-pipe will close.

The water vapor under the cylinder will be discharged, the upper one-way valve is closed, the sub-pipe valve is opened, and the piston will move downward under the force of water vapor.

The piston is connected to the connecting rod, and the connecting rod is connected to the gear, so that the gear will turn when it goes round and round. "

Zhao Wen looked at Song Yingxing and explained in detail.

In fact, the steam engine is not difficult. Song Yingxing listened to Zhao Wen's explanation. Although he couldn't understand the nouns that came from later generations, he got a rough idea.

"Pistons, one-way valves and connecting rods, what are these things? I can understand the gears and cylinders you mentioned earlier, but I can't understand the pistons and one-way valves."

These nouns are all nouns of later generations. Without a detailed explanation, it would be difficult for people of this era to understand the meaning of these nouns.

"This piston is..."

Zhao Wen looked at Song Yingxing who looked puzzled, and slowly explained.

After a while, Song Yingxing's face showed a sudden enlightenment expression. He looked at the non-stop steam engine in front of him, and said loudly: "So, so it is. Who made this steam engine? It's so delicate, and it can make such a delicate Even if Gongshu Pan is still alive, he might not be able to create a person who is not a thing."

Sun Yuanhua pointed to Zhao Wen, coughed twice, and said slowly: "This steam engine is still made by adults."
