The flames burned and soon ignited the coals.
The coals were red and radiating heat.
Not long after, the water was boiled.
As the water is boiled, a large amount of water vapor begins to appear.
But because the seal was tight enough, the water vapor couldn't escape from the tank at all.
When the water vapor inside accumulates to a certain extent.
It will make a hissing sound and push a piston.
After releasing this little bit of heat, the piston returned again.
Push and pull like this, the cycle repeats.
On the side of the steam engine, Mei Yin had already made a device.
You can use the force created by pushing and pulling the piston.
Drive a flywheel in a circle.
When I saw this flywheel, I was really driven to spin.
Mei Yin's face was full of smiles.
The whole person seemed extremely excited.
Done! Done!
It’s really done!
The steam engine was really made by myself!
"Hahaha..."
He couldn't help laughing loudly, and he looked very happy.
Don't look now, this is just a small step.
But he knew that this step was not simple at all.
It can be said to be an extremely important step with cross-epochal significance!
After taking this step, the future development of Daming will be completely different from before.
If you extend the time and look at it from a macro perspective, starting from today, the Ming Dynasty can be called the starting point of the steam age.
This day will definitely be firmly remembered and written down in great detail!
It is not easy at all to build a steam engine in this day and age.
Even Mei Yin has become stronger by feeding pigs and directly obtained the method of making steam engines.
And correspondingly, how to make a steam train,
But don’t forget that the Ming Dynasty at this time was not an era when industry was particularly developed and the industrial system was particularly complete.
Under such circumstances, even if he obtained the method of making a steam engine, it was not easy to get it out.
Many things need to be done by hand.
Made it from scratch.
Fortunately, the methods provided by the system are complete enough.
Here in Meiyin, continuous selection, high wages and the emphasis on craftsmen have caused a siphoning effect.
Now, he has many skilled craftsmen here.
There are many things that may not be possible for them to create.
But Mei Yin gave them guidance here and gave them clear requirements.
It would be fine to let them make something of any quality and shape.
Finally, now, the steam engine has been built.
With the steam engine, this most core thing was solved.
Then, the many tools that follow will be easier to use.
The Ming Dynasty has completely entered the steam age. It is only a matter of time before many machines driven by steam engines can be developed.
In the future, many machines will be developed and put into application.
It is only a matter of time before we can profoundly improve the production relations of the Ming Dynasty, bring convenience to people's lives, and bring about earth-shaking changes.
Not to mention, this time he not only obtained the method of making a steam engine.
Moreover, we also learned how to make a steam train.
Now, the most difficult steam engine has been built.
Then, proceed step by step, and it will only be a matter of time before the steam train is built.
The dream of steam-driven Ming Dynasty is one step closer!
It is one step closer to becoming the strongest beacon of the entire human civilization, the Ming Dynasty.
Li Jinglong knew that his second uncle was in a good mood.
But seeing the second uncle at this moment, facing this thing spinning in small circles, so happy, it was still a bit baffling.
He really didn't expect that his second uncle, a relatively reserved person.
How could he laugh so loudly at this time?
The second uncle can make this thing spin in circles by adding water and coal, which is really good.
But...but what does this mean?
Although it is relatively novel, if I turn it with my hands, I can do it faster than this.
There is no need to be so happy!
This is the difference in gaze and vision.
After Mei Yin burst into laughter, she immediately told the people around her to observe carefully.
See what happens when the steam engine is running.
And record a lot of data.
In this way, it is better to find out some problems next.
Find some areas for improvement.
Only in this way can we further optimize the steam engine in the future.
Let steam engines become more and more practical and easier to use.
Finally, a steam engine suitable for various tools can be produced.
This is a long way to go.
In this process, it is natural that Mei Yin cannot just work alone, but also needs to train many skilled craftsmen.
Only in this way can we better deal with various situations.
"Jinglong, don't underestimate this thing.
With this thing, I can make a car here that can move forward on its own without the need for oxen and horses to pull it. ”
After hearing what Mei Yin said, Li Jinglong was stunned for a moment.
Then we gathered around the steam engine and watched it carefully.
"Second uncle means to put this thing in the front of the car from now on.
Use it to turn the wheels of the car forward?
And then pull the carriage forward together? "
Hearing this, Mei Yin nodded and said, "Yes, Jinglong, that's it."
After Li Jinglong heard this, he looked at it carefully for a while.
Gradually it became amazing.
"Second uncle, you are so amazing, I can make you think of all this!
This is really the case!
With this thing for traction, it is indeed possible to make a car that can move forward without the need for oxen, horses and other things to pull it.
This thing can actually be made by you, the second uncle.
Fortunately, I didn't make a bet to my second uncle, otherwise, I would have lost miserably again this time! ”
Li Jinglong said with admiration and some happiness at the same time.
I feel more and more that my previous decision was wise.
At the same time, I also became more certain in my heart that no matter what happens in the future, I will never bet with my second uncle!
After all, my second uncle is really unexpected.
Even this kind of thing can be found.
However, while he was shocked, Li Jinglong actually had a somewhat indifferent attitude towards the car that his second uncle built based on this.
It's not that he doesn't like it, but Chang's inherent concepts play a role here.
He didn't think that this kind of vehicle without oxen and horses could be any better.
In fact, it is very likely that it is far less fast than an ox-drawn vehicle.
After all, it seems that the wheel is not spinning very fast.
And it's just such a small thing.
How strong can it be?
Even if I can pull a car in the future, how much can I pull?
Most likely, it is not as strong as an ox. However, these are just the thoughts in his heart.
I definitely wouldn't say it at this time to ruin the mood of my second uncle.
This is so out of place.
Li Jinglong's emotional intelligence is very high, and he would not do such a disgraceful thing.
……
"What? Mei Yin has already completed the steam engine?!
Ha ha ha ha! ”
In Wuying Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang burst into hearty laughter.
Looks extremely happy!
……
"Sister! Sister! Let's go to Shuangshui Village quickly and see our good son-in-law!"
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang fought his way to Kunning Palace.
Before anyone arrived, he was already very cheerful and greeted Queen Ma.
Ask Queen Ma to accompany him and quickly go to Shuangshui Village.
At this time, he didn't want to wait any longer.
I just want to see the steam engine quickly.
After all, in the simulator before, he really felt how powerful the steam engine was!
With the steam engine as the core, the machines produced are so useful!
He had long hoped that Mei Yin could get the steam engine out as soon as possible.
At this time, after receiving this exact news, how could I not be happy and how could I not be excited?
I really don’t want to wait any longer.
"What's wrong with Chongba? What did this kid Xiao Yin do to make you so happy?"
Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked.
She knew her family's Chongba temperament very well.
If it weren't for this kid Xiao Yin, he would have done very good things.
So at this time, no matter what, he would not call Xiao Yin a good son-in-law.
When something goes wrong, he calls him a good son-in-law. When nothing happens, he calls him that bastard boy. She has long been used to it.
At this time, Chongba can be successful like this.
Something particularly good must have happened.
Otherwise, Chongba would never be like this!
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard this and said: "Good things, indeed good things!"
With that said, he came close to Queen Ma and lowered his voice and said: "That boy tinkered with the steam engine.
Moreover, it has now passed the verification, confirming that this thing is indeed relatively easy to use! ”
After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Queen Ma suddenly became excited.
I also understood why Chongba was so happy at this time.
It turns out that the steam engine was taken out!
If it were a steam engine, then this would really make sense.
After all, Chongba has passed the simulator and clearly knows how powerful and important this steam engine is!
"Okay! Okay! Let's go now!"
Queen Ma also hurriedly agreed.
He was equally happy about this matter.
Because she also wanted to see what that particularly magical steam engine looked like.
Look at your own good son-in-law and great hero!
At that moment, he and Zhu Yuanzhang quickly packed up and left the palace towards Shuangshui Village.
After arriving at Shuangshui Village, Zhu Yuanzhang learned that Mei Yin was in the factory, so he did not hesitate and took Queen Ma directly towards Mei Yin's factory.
The most important thing when I came to see Mei Yin this time was to see the steam engine.
Now that Mei Yin is in the factory, there is a high possibility that he will still be debugging the steam engine there.
Or just start making steam trains.
So, it was just right for him to go at this time.
Otherwise, we have to come up with some reasons to tell Mei Yin that we want to see the steam engine.
On the contrary, it seems troublesome.
……
"What is this?" Zhu Yuanzhang arrived at the Shuangshui Factory and did not let anyone else complain.
Looking at the steam engine that was spinning in circles, the whole person looked more excited.
This thing was exactly the same as the steam engine built by Mei Yin that he had seen in the simulator.
But you know, you know, naturally you can't express these things too obviously at this time.
Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, he tried his best to appear calmer while looking at Mei Yin and asking.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's voice, Mei Yin reacted.
Turning around, I found that Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma had already arrived.
I don’t know how long I have been standing here.
At that moment, he hurriedly saluted the two of them and said: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, when did you guys come?
This thing is a machine I made, and I named it a steam engine.
It mainly uses coal to boil water to generate steam, and then drives the wheel to rotate, so it is named a steam engine. ”
Mei Yin was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang and the others would not understand, so he explained it emphatically to them.
"Steam engine? What a great name!
What does this thing do? Just get it out and let it spin in circles? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again knowingly.
Mei Yin heard this and said: "Father-in-law, this is definitely not that simple.
I plan to use this thing to make a car that can move forward automatically without the need for cows and horses to pull it. It only relies on eating coal and boiling water. ”
Mei Yin explained to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After saying that, Mei Yin was already prepared to receive Zhu Yuanzhang's ridicule or contempt.
After all, what he did was definitely outrageous in the eyes of people at this time.
Not to mention someone like Zhu Yuanzhang.
That's for sure.
However, what happened next was far beyond his expectation.
"It turns out it has this effect! This is a very good idea.
You work hard. If you can make a car like this in the future, and the car you make will be of great use to our Ming Dynasty,
Then we will make you a Shuangshui Hou! ”
After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Mei Yin was stunned for a moment.
For a moment, I was a little doubtful that there was something wrong with my ears and I heard something wrong.
Why was Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction completely different from what he thought?
Lao Zhu... actually didn't laugh at himself, nor did he feel how unreliable his idea was?
He actually encouraged himself and even took out the Marquis to paint cakes for himself?
Lao Zhu valued the Marquis very much.
Even though I had made such great contributions before, I had never seen him take the title of his own.
As a result, now, after hearing himself talk about steam engines and steam trains, he actually wanted to take out the Marquis.
This made Mei Yin feel a little strange.
"Haha, okay, my father-in-law must keep his word.
I've decided on this pair of Water Marquis! ”
Mei Yin agreed.
He thought to himself, fortunately, he was given the title of Marquis based on the place name.
If you were to be granted a title of Marquis based on merit, why not make yourself a Steam Engine Marquis?
This is a bit funny.
He didn't think more deeply about Zhu Yuanzhang's current reaction.
I just feel that maybe people like Lao Zhu, who have won the world, sometimes have vision and ambition that ordinary people cannot compare with.
