Conferred Gods: Reborn Yang Jian, racing all the way

Chapter 163 The Perfection of Steam Technology
After learning the news, Ying Zheng even rushed over to check the steam engine in person.

He is also a smart man, and he immediately recognized the power of it. After all, the power of the prehistoric human monks has declined drastically.

Now the overall strength of human monks has long been inferior to that of Dashang.

Therefore, the number of grassroots people is actually very large, if it can improve people's livelihood and increase productivity.

The national power of Xian Qin will be enhanced at an epic level, which will also help more talents emerge.

Only in a society where people have enough food and clothing and live and work in peace and contentment.

Only then will there appear many people who are free to engage in other things, or in other words, people who can cultivate with peace of mind.

After all, if you live in a society where people don't even have enough to eat, and people only struggle to have enough to eat, this kind of society will naturally not progress.

Overall, the emergence of the steam engine did not just represent a new invention.

But a new era is coming!
"Hahaha, good! This thing is very good! Prime Minister Zhuge, you must carry it forward and promote it."

"After all, Prime Minister Zhuge created this thing, and I don't understand the principle."

"But I only want one result, and that is to use this thing to improve the productivity of my Xian Qin!"

After Ying Zheng observed the steam engine, he said two good words in a row. As he spoke, he gave Yang Jian a thumbs up.

This is a rare moment when Ying Zheng loses his composure. To be honest, he hasn't lost his composure like this for a long time.

However, the surrounding officials expressed their understanding. After all, this kind of invention that transcends the times is of great significance. It is normal for Ying Zheng to lose his temper.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will naturally satisfy your Majesty. I already have a general idea. I will be able to fully promote steam engines in a few years."

Yang Jian also said very cooperatively. Ying Zheng was also very happy when he heard this. After encouraging Yang Jian for a few words, he returned to the palace to handle political affairs.

Don't think that the emperor is very idle. In fact, he is extremely busy. After all, the size of the prehistoric human race is almost a trillion times that of the earth's human race.

If it weren't for the fact that all the rulers here are so awesome and god-level figures, just dealing with political affairs would tire them to death.

In this way, Yang Jian gathered a large number of skilled craftsmen to learn how to make steam engine parts.

In fact, the requirements for precision of ancient steam engines were not that high, so they could be made purely by rubbing by hand.

But if you want to improve efficiency, you have to make ancient machine tools.

As for what to use as power?It must use steam. Have you ever heard of steam machine tools?
Although the speed is a little lower, the amount of tool feed is a little less, and by turning slowly, you can still get some desired parts.

At least it was much faster than manually rolling iron, so Yang Jian built another machine tool master bed.

This is a steam-driven machine tool. It is very crude and can only machine some roughly shaped parts.

It doesn’t have to be finer or more precise, but it’s just right for the parts on the steam engine.

In this way, Yang Jian brought out the first batch of lathe apprentices. With the mother bed, they could use the mother bed to build more machine tools.

These machine tools were then used to manufacture the parts, and although the original was a little behind, it was a process that had to be experienced.

The development of civilization is a step-by-step process and cannot be achieved overnight, as many problems will arise.

Anyway, Yang Jian is not short of time now. He is planning to improve Xian Qin's technological level step by step according to the progress of civilization.

From the primitive farming age, to the steam age, then from the steam age to the electrical age, and finally into the modern era of data networks.

Only through a development process can a firm foundation be laid. If we fast forward directly to the data network era.These people don’t know anything and can’t do anything. There must be a process of progress.

This process can take 200 years or 300 years. Anyway, it cannot take a few decades. That is too short.

The territory of the human race is so large, and some things do not spread that quickly. It will take time to fully popularize them.

But fortunately, there are no great catastrophes or immeasurable catastrophes. Yang Jian and Ying Zheng are actually not short of time, so they can develop slowly.

About a month later, Yang Jian had no intervention at all and only gave the drawings.

The first batch of apprentices he brought out built the first steam vehicle in the history of Xianqin.

Although this big guy looks a bit ugly, it can still reach a speed of thirty or forty kilometers per hour.

Moreover, the load capacity has reached an astonishing three thousand kilograms, and the battery life is more than three hours, which is much easier to use than an ordinary horse.

The three thousand kilograms mentioned here refer to the remaining load capacity and cruising range after the necessary water and fuel are loaded on the steam car.

Filled with the appropriate proportion of fuel and water, this big guy can pull 150 kilograms of cargo and travel about [-] kilometers.

Although it is not as fast as a modern battery car, everything has an evolutionary process and you have to take your time.

On the day the vehicle was manufactured, Ying Zheng came over to watch it in person.

When he saw that the steam car in front of him could pull three thousand kilograms and only needed to boil water to move, he was extremely impressed.

"Although it's just a prototype, I see great potential in it. Yes, you are all very good."

"As long as this thing is perfected, in addition to high-level transportation other than the teleportation array, transportation for ordinary civilians will be much more convenient."

And this is just the first version of the steam car, and it is not a rail car. In fact, the steam train on the track is good at carrying loads.

So if we want to really pull the goods, we still have to build a steam train. But we already have the first one, can the next one be far behind?
Over the course of the next year all technical refinements were made in steam technology.

The first pilot project in Xianyang City has completed the laying of rail transit on the main roads in major urban areas.

Steam trains of various sizes can be seen everywhere, carrying goods or people.

Although Xianyang City is not as exaggerated in size as Chaoge City, it is still more than 1000 kilometers from the east to the west.

In the past, if you wanted to walk from the east to the west, it would take about 7 days, even if you went quickly.

But now that the steam train has been deployed, the speed of this thing is almost 80 kilometers per hour.

From the east to the west, it only takes about two weeks of driving.

Although it may seem slower than a fast horse, the environment is different. If you ride a horse, you will be knocked half to death.

You can even sleep or do other things while sitting in the car.

Although it is just a simple track steam train, it is still very smooth and more comfortable than a horse-drawn carriage.

Moreover, the greatest strength of steam trains is that they are used to pull goods. Carriage specially used to pull goods is absolutely inferior to steam trains.

After all, steam trains only need to stop occasionally to replenish fuel and water in the boiler, and they can keep moving forward.

Both efficiency and load capacity far exceed traditional ordinary horse-drawn carriages.
