Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 16

"To be honest, I don't know either." Tang Mo sighed, "Whether this thing can work depends entirely on your machining accuracy."

He is indeed not sure of a success, but he can follow the map to find out the fault and repair and modify this thing.

As long as it is not too bad, he is sure to repair this thing and make it work.

And as long as it moves, it will be hundreds or thousands of times better than the so-called steam engines manufactured in the world today.

"Do you know how much steel it uses? The first batch of steel we sent was basically used to make this thing!" Tiger walked over from behind, and said with a gloomy face.

Now, this officer from North Ridge is full of resentment towards the giant steel beast in front of him.Because up until now, Tang Mo hadn't produced a single gun, and almost all the steel had been thrown on this strange looking thing of incomparable precision.

If Tang Mo fails, then he is standing here and watching a liar squander all the property that the Earl has worked so hard to accumulate.

But he didn't dare to stop Tang Mo from doing this, because he was just an officer and really knew nothing about technical production.

The problem was that the second day after he brought his team to Burnas, Matthews, who knew the most technology in the whole team, admired Tang Mo very much and was willing to believe that Tang Mo was truly innovating in production technology.

There is no way, everyone who knows technology has said so, and Tiger can only keep his mouth shut, for fear of spoiling the Earl's event.

But even so, when he saw those smelting workers melting almost all the steel ingots into molds and casting them into a steel bar with almost no function, he was in a bad mood.

So for the past two days, he has been wandering around this workshop, watching the workers gradually assemble this strange thing.

You know, this thing was just a prototype the day before yesterday, but today, with the overtime work of Matthews and Roger, this thing has become very complicated.

"Believe me, if it really moves, everything, everything will be worth it." Tang Mo continued to comfort the Earl's confidant.

Sometimes Tang Mo felt that such things as personality charm were really charming and interesting.Earl Fischero reduced and exempted taxes in his own territory and did not easily expropriate people's power. Indeed, he got a greater return in some aspects.

Think about it, Weiss, a ranger from North Ridge, would rather resign from his job as Baron Stella's guard, but also inform the earl about finding new weapons. Tiger is also faithfully implementing Fischero's plan even in Bunas. Command, aren't these people who live in their own way cute?
So Tang Mo didn't dislike Tiger's dissatisfaction, and even liked it a little.Who doesn't like such a loyal person?
"Okay! Boss! This is the last internal part. I have reinforced it just now!" Roger jumped off the ladder and reported to Tang Mohui.

Tang Mo nodded, smiled and told a familiar worker standing aside: "Go, find the coal burner! Let's experiment and see if this steam engine can really turn. !"

"I hope he can turn..." Matthews walked to the side of the machine, looked at the complicated transmission device connected to the drilling machine next to him, and felt nervous.

Most of this thing was made and assembled by him—in order to connect the power provided by the steam engine to the drill press, the complexity of this transmission mechanism seems to exceed that of the steam engine itself.

First of all, there is a complex gearbox composed of some gears and chains. This thing is definitely not the kind of sophisticated design structure on a car.But even if it is simplified to a certain extent, this thing is a challenge to the precision limit of the world's processing.

While waiting for the workers and coal, Tang Mo was not idle. He directed several workers on site to start pouring water into the water tank of the steam engine.Since it is a steam engine, steam is the carrier of its transmission, and it will definitely not work without water.

Seeing buckets of water being poured into the tank, Roger began to get nervous again.He climbed up the ladder just now, and began to check the parts he had installed by himself.

He touched each of them with his hands, confirmed that there was no problem, and fixed them according to the drawings before he felt a little relieved.

In fact, Tang Mo was also very nervous, because this was his first step in building his own industrial empire.Only when this step is taken, everything will get better.

The steam engine that marked the beginning of the first industrial revolution accelerated the progress of human industrial civilization.How do you say something?Human civilization is constantly improving boiling water and throwing stones!And the steam engine is the real sense in which human beings start to boil water plainly...

"Boss!" Two workers, whose clothes were almost black with soot, stood nervously behind Tang Mo.

Next to them, there were two apprentices pushing a small cart. The thin children were also wearing patched clothes.

"Thank you for your hard work." Tang Mo didn't feel disgusted, smiled at them, and began to assign tasks to them seriously.

It's actually very simple, because Tang Mo used improved technology, and even the interlocking fire door that automatically shuts the air was manufactured, so the work of the coal-burning workers became very simple.

They only need to keep shoveling coal into the combustion chamber to ensure the heat of the combustion chamber of this steam engine.

"Keep an eye on the pressure! To be on the safe side, I have designed three pressure gauges here, here, and here...they will reflect the pressure in the boiler. Once a pressure gauge reaches the red position, we must stop !understand?"

"Understood." Roger nodded and stood in front of one of the pressure gauges.

"Leave this to me." Matthews also stood in one of the positions.

"I, I'll take care of this." Tiger felt that he should do something to prevent the Earl's money from being wasted, so he also found a place for himself.

When the flame in the combustion chamber started to blaze, Tang Mo saw that the pressure gauge closest to him trembled slightly.

His heart also trembled involuntarily—hope is already in front of him, and whether he can change the world will soon be known.

As time passed, this huge steam engine began to rotate slowly.The huge wheel-like flywheel also started working.

The piston structure finally reciprocated, and the whole machine made a huge roar, making the whole workshop extremely noisy.

In fact, the entire workshop has never had such a loud noise, but what is really surprising is not the overwhelming noise, but the complicated linkage gear mechanism, which also started to work.

The first gear started to rotate, which drove another large gear that meshed together, and then transmitted to another gear, and then the chain began to rotate rapidly.

Driven by these gears, the drill bit that should have penetrated into the gun barrel began to rotate at a constant speed without deviation.

Along with the noisy sound, Matthews saw that the pointer of the pressure gauge in front of him was already pointing close to the red warning area, but there was no further increase.The pointer jumped back and forth next to the largest number, as if it had life.

Everyone was shocked by what they saw. They never thought that such a monster they created could move so nimbly.

The spinning flywheel was already turning fast, and the pressure relief valve also sprayed out a puff of white gas when the pressure was too high, reducing the boiler pressure.The movements of the entire machine are under control, as if there is a set of programs running well.

This is the charm of industry, and this is the beauty of machinery.When all the parts are moving according to the pre-designed trajectory, the powerful and invincible power will be transmitted, and finally become the power that human beings need!

"Let it run...keep the lubricating oil in the moving part!" Tang Mo saw that the pressure relief valve he designed was working normally, so he knew that this equipment would not cause any major trouble.

It is possible that a certain part is damaged, causing the device to stall, but a dangerous explosion will definitely not happen.

So he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he walked up to the steadily rotating drilling machine and looked at the middle-aged worker standing there: "How is it?"

This worker is the one who taught his apprentices a lesson. He is the best driller in the factory and he is leading five apprentices at the same time.

"This is much faster than my drilling speed. Manual rotation requires a rest. After drilling for a while, you have to take a rest... and then you need to correct the calibration when you come back, so the process is very troublesome." The middle-aged worker said a little nervously: "This machine ...If it can keep turning like this, then it can really, it can replace me."

"No, you will never be replaced." Tang Mo heard the entanglement and despair that came from the depths of the soul in the other party's words, patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Your experience is irreplaceable, and soon the factory will replace you." There will be many such machines in China, but the quality of the gun barrel needs to be checked by you.”

He looked at the other party with a smile, and saw the flustered eyes of the other party: "I plan to let you be the production manager of this process."

This guy doesn't know what the position of the head of production is, but he knows that he will not lose his job, which is definitely good news.

So his face became radiant again, and he opened his mouth to say thank you to Tang Mo, but found that he was already a little choked up.

"The 10 new workers, as well as your apprentices, are all under your management. From today onwards, you will be responsible to me!" Tang Mo explained the meaning of being in charge to the other party, and immediately shocked the middle-aged man. I even forgot to choke...
