Chapter 172: Technology upgrade

Shangwen originally wanted to directly intervene in the improvement of the steam engine, but when Shangwen squeezed into the crowd. What Shang Wen saw was that the flywheel of the steam engine was spinning fast.

The steam engine is mainly composed of a cylinder, a base, a piston, a crank connecting rod mechanism, a sliding valve steam distribution mechanism, a speed regulating mechanism and a flywheel. The cylinder and base are stationary parts.

In a steam boiler, water boils into steam through the combustion process. The steam is sent to the cylinder through the pipe. The valve controls the time when the steam reaches the cylinder, enters the spool valve chamber through the main steam valve and the throttle valve, and is controlled by the spool valve to alternately enter the left or right side of the cylinder to push the piston to move. The steam pushes the piston in the cylinder to do work, and the cooled steam is introduced into the condenser through the pipe to be condensed into water again.

The newly built steam engine also contains a small turbine, and the steam from the cylinder can also use its waste heat to drive the turbine to improve the efficiency of the entire drive unit. This is not installed in the original design drawings.

Shang Wen looked happily. The appearance of the improved steam engine will greatly solve all current power problems. Textile machines can come out quickly, and sewing machines can use steam engines as power. As for the processing of the barrel, a steam engine can be used.

"My lord, my lord." Chen Da walked over happily.

"My lord, we finally succeeded in the development." Chen Da said happily.

"Congratulations." Shang Wen clasped his fists in congratulations.

"There, there. This is everyone's contribution." Chen Da said happily.

"How did you think of this?" Shang Wen said, pointing to the turbine. You know, the emergence of turbines was gradually explored in later generations. Moreover, Shang Wen did not tell them that there are turbines, such equipment. Could it be that they really have a whimsical idea. If this is the case, then their ingenuity can solve a lot of problems.

"This. This is what the kid thought of." Chen Da said.

"Child," Shang Wen said in surprise.

"Yes, that's the one called Bai Ai." Chen said loudly.

"Originally, our research and development work could be completed yesterday, but the kid always pestered us, saying that adding this thing can increase the weight of the steam engine." Chen Da waved his hand and motioned.

\"Oh, I understand." Shang Wen nodded.

"By the way, can this improved steam engine be mass-produced in a short time. Especially when it comes to streamlining." Shang Wen asked.

"This, it should be possible. With those molds, and some parts pressed by the hydraulic press. Like those pistons, flywheels, connecting rods. Cylinders and so on. These can all be manufactured in batches." Chen Da said.

"Well, next, you will start this work, and the work must be carried out as soon as possible. If you don't understand, just discuss it together, or ask me." Shang Wen said.

"Yes. Your lord." Chen Da said.

"Looking back, you can call a few people who developed it and fill out the intellectual patent form." Shang Wen entrusted.

"Here." Chen Da said happily.

Shang Wen then turned and left. This has to be said to be good news. Because there is a steam engine. Can mark the entry of an era of large-scale machine production.

Shangwen walked into the assembly workshop, where all the musket parts of the manufactured parts will form a complete musket here. The workers skillfully assembled the parts in their hands together. And something similar to the screwdriver of later generations in his hand has never stopped in his hand.

Those craftsmen grasped these three parts in one hand. Very skillfully assembled in one piece. In the end, the screw clamped by the little finger just fixed the bolt action part of the musket. Abnormal skill. Such a speed can ensure that it can be assembled into a musket within an extreme time.

When Shang Wen saw such a scene, he couldn't help nodding, if he could continuously provide spare parts. Relying on the skillful assembly methods of these craftsmen, it will not take long to provide the army with a large amount of weapons and equipment on a large scale.

"My lord." A craftsman similar to a workshop manager came over and gave Shang Wen a salute.

"Oh. Are you the person in charge here?" Shang Wen asked.

"It's the small one," the man said.

"Oh. What's your name?" Shang Wen asked.

\"The younger one is called Wang Yuan," Wang Yuan replied.

"Okay, Wang Yuan, come out and speak." Shang Wen said.

Came outside the house. Shang Wen said straightforwardly.

"The princess has a gun factory. This gun factory is just an empty shelf. I want to transfer some people into this gun factory. Are you willing?" Shang Wen asked.

"This one······". Wang Yuan froze.

"If you have something to say directly. Don't hesitate." Shang Wen said.

"It's the treatment, and the small ones are also the ones who drag the family." Wang Yuan said directly.

"I will solve these problems for you." Shang Wen said.

"Don't worry." Shang Wen patted Wang Yuan on the shoulder and said.

"Okay. Go ahead and go," Shang Wen said.

"Here." Wang Yuan replied. Then walked into the workshop.

Some of these people are technical and management is also on the road. As managers, they should have a long-term vision and adopt appropriate management levels. otherwise. No matter how good a worker is, it will be a mess. According to that guy's temperament, such a thing is most likely to happen. Separating a production line by yourself is likely to become a mess. And, in the end, you have to clean it up yourself. First of all, she didn't have any consciousness. When Shang Wen thinks of the princess, he will constantly think of the next thing.

Shangwen decided to give her a vaccination first.

"My lord, my lord." A man dressed up ran up to Shang Wen.

"Are you?" Shang Wen asked first.

"Small, Li Quan, I have met an adult. The younger is a servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion." said the one who claimed to be Li Quan.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Shang Wen asked.

"Oh, that's the case, the messenger of the State of Zhao, Mr. Guo is waiting for the adult at the Prime Minister's Mansion. The prime minister has hereby ordered the young man to come to the adult." Li Quan said.

"Oh, I see, let's lead the way." Shang Wen said.

Speaking, Shangwen got into the carriage and swiftly moved towards the prime minister's mansion.

Guo Kai, who was in the prime minister's house, seemed very anxious. Guo Kai, who did not return all night, searched for all the envoys, but in the end he refused. Moreover, there was news from Zhao Guo that Yan Jun had already hit the city of Julu. Before long, Julu will be captured. When Guo Kai heard the news, he was extremely frightened. This news is really amazing. When I came, the news I got was still a scene of good news. How suddenly, it became like this.
