Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 183 Make a statement: Boil water [addition]

As early as when she first learned about the automobiles and ships of the later generations from Hao Guangming, Aimee Zhu thought about making steel vehicles and ships in Daming.

Settling down in Chengdu now is finally the first step in this matter.

No, it should be said that the first step is to investigate the iron mines and iron factories in Chengdu and Qiongzhou, and to expand the production of iron and steel under the rule.

Because steel is the foundation of the modern vehicle and ship manufacturing industry.

As for the manufacture of steam engines in the late Ming Dynasty, it was not inconceivable, especially since Auntie Zhu was able to travel to future generations and received all kinds of assistance from Hao Guangming, it was easier to do this matter.

In the various historical time travel novels that Hao Guangming had read before, most of the protagonists only knew the concept of steam engines.

Then, relying on only one concept and some fragmentary relevant knowledge, he instructed his craftsmen and capable people to develop the steam engine.

This often takes a long time. The short one may take half a year to study, and the long one may even take several years.

The most important thing is that even if it is developed, it is difficult to increase its power.

Because there is no rubber in China, it is difficult to solve the problem of steam engine leakage, so it is difficult to increase the power of the steam engine to the level that can be applied to vehicles and ships.

But for Aimee Zhu and Hao Guangming, none of the above problems exist.

Hao Guangming gave the most suitable blueprint of the steam engine directly. In the future development, he can also provide key materials such as rubber, and even directly provide the parts needed for the steam engine such as rubber pads.

It can be predicted that it will not take too long for these craftsmen to produce qualified steam engines.

In fact, in Europe 40 years later, someone will create an early industrial steam engine.

Since ancient times, China has not lacked skilled craftsmen, nor lacked the spirit of research and development and creation.

Now that Auntie Zhu has prepared all the blueprints, there is no reason why they can't make them.

However, in order to manufacture the steam engine as soon as possible, and to select talents with talent in this field from these craftsmen, Aimee Zhu decided to test them first.

So, when all the craftsmen stretched their heads to look at the drawings, Zhu Wei said again: "Fang Gonggong, let someone get a stove and boil a pot of water here. Remember, the pot must have a tight lid. "

Although Fang Zhenghua didn't understand why Auntie Zhu did this, he still complied and asked people to do it.

Soon there was a small stove next to the flip-book board, with a copper kettle on top.

Through the camera of his mobile phone, Hao Guangming discovered that the general shape of this copper kettle is similar to that of modern kettles, and the lid is also the kind that can be embedded in the kettle and fits tightly.

Then she said to Auntie Zhu: "This kettle can be used, but the spout needs to be plugged to make the effect more obvious."

Auntie Zhu nodded, and then ordered someone to cover the spout of the pot with cloth.

Then he said to a group of craftsmen with different expressions: "This steam engine is the machine I want you to make this time. As for its function and how it works, I will give you a moment to think about it.

Within this hour, if someone thinks of it, they can come and talk to me.

It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, but if you can satisfy me, you can become the main craftsman who developed this steam engine.

When the steam engine is successfully developed, the palace will appoint him as a master craftsman and seal him as the deputy ambassador of the Bureau of Secrecy.

In addition, everyone who participates in the development will have a generous reward.

Fame and wealth are right in front of you, everyone, please show your true skills. "

After finishing speaking, Aimee Zhu went to the only gazebo in the courtyard, sat down on the chair arranged by the maid, and waited patiently.

There is a distance between the gazebo and the wall map, so as soon as Auntie Zhu left, many craftsmen approached the drawings for a closer look, and even talked with people they knew.

"The old man is well-informed if he asks himself, why have he never heard of this steam engine?"

"Hey, if you've heard of it, the princess will recruit me to develop it and offer a generous reward?"

"I heard that the princess is a fairy who descended to earth, this steam engine must be a magic weapon of the fairy family, right?"

"Hiss, it's really possible. But if it's the case, how can ordinary people like me create it?"

"I said, old Cheng, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Even if it is a magic weapon of the fairy family, but now the princess has shown me the secrets of making it, can I still make it?"

"Then how are you going to make it?"

"···"

Wearing the clothes of a scholar, Hua Mude stood out from the crowd of craftsmen, and the craftsmen subconsciously stood two or three steps away from him.

However, Hua Mude could still hear the craftsmen's discussion clearly.

These craftsmen didn't know that he was far more excited than he showed at this time, and even shouted excitedly in his heart.

Because his goal of coming to Chengdu is likely to be overfulfilled!

He heard the bizarre rumors of the First World War in Chengdu from a classmate who was an official in the Meizhou government office in August.

He didn't believe it at first, but after more people said it, he became suspicious.

So I was going to come to Chengdu to experience it.

However, the legendary fire-breathing strange bird is a weapon of the military, how can he only see it as an ordinary talent?
So he wandered around Chengdu for several days, but made no progress, but saw the light of the magic lamp faintly at night.

Seeing that the Shu Palace recruited craftsmen with high salaries, he applied without hesitation.

It is only to increase the chance of seeing "magic weapons" such as strange birds and magical lamps.

After entering the Shu Palace, he thought he was just making some ordinary equipment, but unexpectedly the princess took out a pair of blueprints for making "magic weapons"!
However, after carefully looking at the blueprints for making this "steam engine", he thought that this "steam engine" might not be a celestial magic weapon, but a mortal machine.

Just like the loom, drill press, keel waterwheel, etc., only more complicated and the purpose is unknown.

So, what exactly was this steam engine used for and how did it work?
Hua Mude pinched his chin and meditated, extremely focused, the conversations of the craftsmen around seemed to be far away from him...

Woo! ~
After an unknown period of time, Hua Mude was awakened by the sharp howl of steam.

He subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, just in time to see the copper kettle on the stove slamming the lid open!

Even the small piece of cloth that sealed the spout was shot out by the water vapor!

Suddenly, a large amount of water vapor came out of the copper pot...
'This... a steam engine? ! '

Hua Mude immediately thought of the name of the machine they were going to develop.

As a scholar who likes crafting, he has read a lot of miscellaneous books, and after all, he has more knowledge than ordinary Ming Dynasty people.

He knows that many tools and machines are actually used by the ancestors from the principles of nature.

So, does the principle used by the steam engine come from the scene where the boiling water steamed and the lid was opened just now?

What's more, before the princess left, she ordered a pot of hot water to be poured here, and she also specially instructed that the lid of the pot should be tightly sealed and the spout should be sealed.

Eighty percent of them are implying the natural principles used in their steam engines!
Thinking of this, Hua Mude went to look at the blueprint and the few structure introduction texts, and suddenly felt that some things he didn't understand before suddenly became clear!
For a moment, Hua Mude only saw the blueprints and the copper kettle still boiling hot water on the ground, his eyes bloomed...

gazebo.

The maids and soldiers were guarding outside the pavilion, and only Fei Zhen'e was waiting beside her, and Auntie Zhu was very bored waiting (the mobile phone could not access the Internet when waiting in the Ming Dynasty, and could only accept messages from Hao Guangming), so she went to Hao Guangming There was a chat without a sentence.

"Do you think any of them can realize the working principle and usefulness of the steam engine?"

Of course, Hao Guangming would not attack Zhu Yuxi, and said after hearing the words: "After all, there are more than fifty skilled craftsmen, and you let people boil water there to explain clearly, someone must be able to comprehend the principle of the steam engine, at most it will take more time.

Of course, it is unknown how many kinds of steam engines these people can come up with. "

Auntie Zhu knew very well how difficult it was for the people of the Ming Dynasty to figure out the use of the steam engine, so she couldn't help saying, "I'm afraid they won't be able to figure out any of them."

As a result, she had just finished speaking when she saw a middle-aged man leaving the crowd of craftsmen and walking towards the gazebo.

After the inspection, the middle-aged man dressed as a scholar walked into the pavilion and saluted Aimi Zhu.

"Crassman Hua Mude sees the prison country!"

"Flat body."

When Hua Mude got up, Auntie Zhu asked with an expression of surprise but expectation, "Have you figured out how the steam engine works and its uses?"
