Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 184 Steam Cannon and Clouds and Rain

Hua Mude is over forty years old, but he still can't help feeling nervous and reserved when facing Auntie Zhu, who is two years younger than his daughter.

But he was also eager to verify his conjecture, and his thinking was not affected.

"The grass people have some guesses, but they don't know if they are correct."

Aunt Zhu said, "Let's talk and listen."

Hua Mude said: "The grass people saw the scene where the copper pot was boiled to lift the lid and shoot out the cloth from the spout, so they guessed that the Jian Guo's arrangement must have hinted at the operation principle of the steam engine.

Then contact the production drawings and some explanatory texts above, and guess that this steam engine should be like boiling water in a kettle, turning water into water vapor.

However, some of the structures are still unclear to the grassroots, such as..."

Following Hua Mude's narration, Aimee Zhu's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Although she doesn't know much about the steam engine, she does know its basic operating principle, as well as the structure, function and principle of the mature steam engine given by Hao Guangming.

The problem is, she obtained this knowledge through Hao Guangming's explanations and related books.

Hua Mude, on the other hand, relied on a production drawing and an experiment of boiling water to understand the basic operating principle of the steam engine and some structural functions of the steam engine drawing.

This undoubtedly shows that Hua Mude is quite talented in the research of engineering.

Hao Guangming on the other side was also sighing.

You really can't underestimate the ancients.

Compared with modern people, the IQ of the ancients was really not low, but they lacked insight and vision.

Just like this mature steam engine, the structure of its various parts, as long as a Ming Dynasty person could think of it, Hua Mude thought of it, and some even surpassed the knowledge of most people, which is purely Hua Mude's personal conjecture.

On the other side, after Hua Mude finished speaking, he looked at Aimi Zhu eagerly.

It's not that he wants to be affirmed, but that he wants to hear Zhu Yuxie's explanation of the structures on the steam engine that he doesn't understand.

Aunt Zhu smiled and said, "Let's talk about the functions of those steam engine parts first, and then you can talk about the use of this steam engine."

Hua Mude said: "Caomin heard that Jian Guo established a larger military bureau on the banks of the Jiang'an River, called the Arsenal, which uses the power of water to drive machine tools to make weapons.

Caomin thought that if the power of the steam engine to turn water into water vapor could be controlled, it should be able to drive the machine tool to work like water flow.

Well, besides, the water vapor produced by Caominguan's copper kettle is not small. If an iron kettle tens or hundreds of times larger is boiled, it may be possible to make a new kind of cannon.

This cannon does not need gunpowder, it only needs to use coal to boil water into water vapor to obtain power, or it can be called a steam cannon..."

The more Hua Mude talked, the more excited he became, he forgot to pay attention to Aimi Zhu's face.

At first, Auntie Zhu couldn't help nodding when she heard his words, but she was dumbfounded when she heard the steam cannon behind her.

On the other side, Hao Guangming also looked surprised.

When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help saying: "This Hua Mude really has the potential to be a scientist, he dared to think about a steam cannon.

Although this thing sounds powerful, you can't let him experiment casually. Maybe the boiler will explode and everyone will be wiped out.

By the way, when you make this mature steam engine later, you also need to pay attention to preventing the boiler from exploding.

Although the possibility of boiler explosion of this mature steam engine is very small, it is not impossible, especially when you have no experience in making it at the beginning. "

Aimee Zhu said "um", expressing her understanding, and then interrupted Hua Mude's "steam cannon" imagination that was going on and on.

"Mr. Hua, we can talk about the steam cannon later. There are other craftsmen waiting to report to me."

Hearing Aimee Zhu's words, Hua Mude finally realized where he was and who he was facing. He broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The grassroots are impolite, please forgive me!"

"It doesn't matter," Aunt Zhu smiled warmly, "This time the palace is recruiting craftsmen, we need Mr. Hua who is smart, knowledgeable and dares to imagine."

Hearing this, Hua Mude heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your forgiveness."

Immediately, he was led out of the gazebo by the maid.

Then another artisan was brought in.

This craftsman also realized something from the scene of boiling water in a copper pot, but unfortunately his thinking was far less clear than that of Hua Mude, but he guessed two more correctly about the uses of other parts of the steam engine.

Generally speaking, although this craftsman's understanding of the principles of steam engines is not as deep as that of Hua Mude, his attainments in manufacturing should be higher than Hua Mude's, and he can be regarded as a very good talent.

Finally, Auntie Zhu asked her her guess about the usefulness of the steam engine.

Seeing that the craftsman hesitated for a while, he said cautiously: "The grass people thought that this steam engine should be used by the immortal family to make clouds and spread rain through clouds.

The grassroots heard that almost every year outside of Sichuan was severely drought, Jian Guo invited such a magic weapon as a steam engine to solve the drought in Ming Dynasty, it is really a great merit. "

Auntie Zhu here is okay, she just looks weird after hearing this.

On the other side, Hao Guangming couldn't laugh or cry.

After finally slowing down, he couldn't help saying: "You actually think of the steam engine as a magic weapon used by gods to travel clouds and rain, Aimee, don't you have too many talents in the Ming Dynasty?"

Awesome, one thought of using a steam engine to build a cannon.

One thought of using a steam engine to make clouds and rain.

If he and Aimee Zhu let it go, will Daming develop into a steam fairy civilization?
It is a pity that using steam engines as cannons and clouds and rain is not impossible, but it is really impossible.In other words, if it can be realized, there is no need for a steam engine.

So, when Aimee Zhu came back to her senses, she just praised this craftsman who was deeply influenced by the oriental fairy culture, and let him go back.

After that, before the one-hour time limit came, several craftsmen successively came to Aimee Zhu for an "interview".

They all have a certain understanding of the principles of the steam engine, but they are not as deep as Hua Mude, and their thinking and expression skills are obviously not as good as Hua Mude.

On the contrary, it is as good as Hua Mude and the second craftsman in terms of brain holes.

Hao Guangming was listening on the other side, and couldn't stop laughing.

On the contrary, Auntie Zhu had listened too much, she was not surprised, and laughed off all kinds of guesses.

···
An hour later.

Auntie Zhu came to the board next to the hanging paper, looked at the crowd and said, "Just now I heard a lot of people's thoughts, I am very happy.

However, the principle of the structure and operation of the steam engine is indeed not simple. Next, I will explain it, so that you can confirm what you think. "

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuxi explained the operating principle of the steam engine, as well as the function of each machine component and structure on this drawing.

This was taught by Jian Guo (princess) himself, and none of the craftsmen did not listen carefully.

Even if you don't understand, you can listen attentively.

Because it's an honor to say it later.

During this process, those craftsmen who had "interviewed" with Aimee Zhu before would sometimes show a look of "that's how it is" or "why I didn't think of it" with regret.

Later, when Aimee Zhu talked about the use of the steam engine, the expressions of the interviewed craftsmen became even more exciting.

Thinking of the way they talked (nonsense and nonsense) at that time, many people blushed with embarrassment, and wished they could find a crack in the ground and get in there.

Even Hua Mude, after having a deeper understanding of the steam engine through Auntie Zhu, also realized that his idea of ​​a "steam cannon" might be a little unrealistic.

However, he didn't feel ashamed, but was wondering if there was any way to make the "steam cannon" practical in the future.

After finishing speaking, Aunt Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at the craftsmen and said, "In that hour just now, a total of twelve craftsmen approached me to talk about the steam engine.

Among them, Hua Mude has the deepest understanding of the steam engine, and he also guessed the use of the steam engine instead of the power of water to drive the machine tool to make armaments.

Therefore, the palace now appoints Hua Mude as the head of the Steam Engine Research Institute, and the remaining craftsmen are classified into the Secret Manufacturing Bureau.

In the next period of time, you should work together to research the steam engine as soon as possible. "

All the craftsmen immediately knelt down and saluted together, shouting in unison: "I will obey!"

Auntie Zhu nodded slightly, and then asked the young eunuch who was in charge of the craftsmen in the yard before, "What's your name?"

The young eunuch said excitedly: "Report to the supervisor, Li Feng, the slave and maidservant, the harvest is abundant."

"Li Feng, good name. After that, you will temporarily serve as the ambassador of the Secret Construction Bureau. If the steam engine is done, you can become a regular."

To become an ambassador of a bureau is definitely because eunuchs have been eunuchs since childhood.

Li Feng immediately kowtowed overjoyed, "I will do my best to handle this matter with all my heart!"

Aimee Zhu said to Hua Mude again: "Whatever you need to build this steam engine, just tell Li Feng, and the Jian Guofu will provide it.

If there is any problem that cannot be solved, please notify me as soon as possible, and I will help you if you can.

Of course, without delaying the development progress, you'd better solve all kinds of problems by yourself.do you understand? "

Hua Mude was flattered and said: "Cao Min understands!"

Being appointed as the master, Hua Mude is no longer a grassroots person, but an official.

But Auntie Zhu didn't correct him either.

Walking out of this large courtyard, when she reached the door, Auntie Zhu said to Fang Zhenghua: "Let's officially list this place later, just write 'Secret Construction Bureau' on the wooden sign, and don't make it attract people's attention."

Fang Zhenghua replied: "I remember it."

Auntie Zhu led the people away, but after walking dozens of steps, she couldn't help but look back at the Secret Construction Bureau, with a smile on her lips.

'The steam engine is said to have started the first industrial revolution, but this time it will be born in my Ming Dynasty. '
