Chapter 100 Excellent Flour
Frederick walked around the steam engine twice and found that it was better than he expected. The cylinder leakage problem that he was most worried about was currently within the acceptable range.
He suddenly remembered a question and turned to ask Schmidt who was following him: "How do you plan to clean the scale in the boiler?"
Schmidt immediately replied: "Use acid The acid extracted from liquid slime will cause little corrosion to metals after it is diluted to a certain extent, and can still remove scale."
Then he pointed to a pipe under the boiler and said: "This is the drain. Can discharge the cleaned scale. ”
"I have a suggestion, dismantle and inspect every three months."
Frederick nodded with satisfaction and asked: "Has the power test been passed?"
" It has been tested." Schmidt pointed to the mountain in the distance and said, "We did a test on the edge of a cliff. We used a hundred ordinary adult draft horses to do an experiment of pulling heavy objects for one minute, and achieved one result. Thousands of sets of data, and finally the average number was calculated."
"Then we did the same experiment with the steam engine, and finally got the data."
"The steam engine currently has 20 in normal operation. times the horsepower, and can reach 25 times the horsepower at the maximum working pressure.”
Frederick said with satisfaction: "Very good, well done. When advertising in the future, we will advertise it according to the horsepower multiple."
At this time, the machines near the steam engine had been installed.
Firstly, four vertical steel mills are installed on the elevated frame. The main components are cast from iron. There are two steel grinding discs inside. The distance between the fixed grinding disc and the rotating grinding disc can be adjusted through the screw.
Then under the shelf are four vibrating screens, their screens are all made of steel wire.
Hot-drawing metal with molds is nothing new. It has been used for a long time when making gold and silver jewelry. After the magic reciprocator came out, it was naturally used to draw iron and steel wires.
The steam engine temporarily stops to supply air to the cylinder, and a belt is used to connect the flywheel and a long steel shaft on a special shelf horizontally on the ground. The steel mill and vibrating screen obtain power from the steel shaft through the belt.
Everything is ready, the steam engine starts, and the machines it drives also start running.
Someone kept pouring the cleaned wheat into the inlet of the first steel mill. After a while, you can see the bran and broken wheat grains coming out of the outlet through a transparent tube. The large rubber tube goes into the vibrating sieve to remove the bran.
The sifted broken wheat is moved to the next steel mill by manpower to continue grinding.
After one set, the fine and clean legendary flour appeared in front of Frederick.
"This is the best flour in the world." Schmidt proudly said to Frederick, "It takes 100 kilograms of wheat to grind 70 kilograms."
Frederick nodded with great satisfaction, and the king did not Having eaten such good flour, like himself, he usually eats fine flour with a flour extraction rate of 80%. Only for major banquets will he use epic flour with a flour extraction rate of 75%. Most of the flour sold on the market is flour with an extraction rate of 85%. % excellent flour, 90% ordinary flour and coarse flour with bran.
Schmidt’s little thoughts could not be hidden from Frederick.
The water-powered mills in Wesenland all belong to Frederick and the vassal family. Now the release of this flour has pronounced the death penalty for water-powered mills.
Frederick asked someone to inform Afu to come tomorrow and prepare to open a large flour mill, and then divide the fruit with everyone.
He asked Schmidt again: "Where will this machine be tested next?"
Schmidt knew that his promotion had worked, and he happily replied: "Prepare to send it to the smelting plant to drive it." The bellows of the boiler."
Frederick nodded, but using a steam engine to pull the bellows was a bit overkill, so he said: "Bring a paper and a pen."
The magic reciprocator used to provide it. The speed of the steam engine was not enough. Now the speed of the steam engine is enough, and better air supply equipment can be used.
The centrifugal blower is not a problem for him. The briquette stove at home used this one when he was a child in his previous life, and it has been dismantled many times. By the way, centrifugal water pumps can also be made. He has installed water pumps at a construction site in his previous life and is quite familiar with them.
The biggest difference between the two is that the blades inside are different, but he only remembers that the blades of the blower can be straight, and the blades of the water pump can be curved, as well as the size of the volute and the shaft seal. It takes a lot of people to do experiments and research slowly.
These two types of equipment are not complicated to make. It is no problem to use cast iron except for the bearings and main shaft.
As a result, his reputation at Weisenberg University became even higher.
Seeing Frederick's happy look, Schmidt said: "Principal, there is something I need to trouble you with."
"What's the matter?" Frederick was thinking about feed next to a vibrating screen. "Are you embarrassed to say which girl you like, and you want me to arrange a chance for you to be a hero to save a beauty?"
Schmidt was surprised: "Is this possible?"
But he immediately got back to business: "That's right, Buderus has a plan to build a factory and wants to seek investment."
Although Frederick didn't know who Buderus was, he still said: "Then let him bring it."
Schmidt waved to the crowd, and immediately there was A young man came over with a plan in hand and presented it.
Frederick looked through it and found out that he was producing a system that uses a low-pressure boiler to provide steam to multiple high-pressure steaming cabinets to cook a large amount of food. It is suitable for use in kitchens and restaurants in densely populated areas such as schools, troops, ports, and factories.
Buderus gave Schmidt a wink, and Schmidt immediately said to Frederick: "Principal, I think Buderus's system is quite good, and our university cafeteria can use it. Enter."
Frederick did not react at all, and his expression did not change.
Buderus was a little anxious and quickly winked at the crowd, and then BASF also came over.
“Principal,” BASF said with a smile, “this system in Buderus is quite good. If it is strengthened, it can replace our pressure cooker for producing slime glue. It is much more convenient to directly vent steam than to burn fire. ”
Frederick still didn't respond, but calmly closed the plan and said lightly: "I know."
Buderus's heart thumped, thinking it was over.
With BASF, Schmidt and others getting rich ahead of others, and everyone knowing that the principal is rich recently, many people have submitted their plans to the principal to obtain a start-up loan.
But these plans were like mud thrown into the lake and disappeared without a trace.
Frederick grabbed a handful of legendary flour and became very playful for a moment. He released a small tornado in his hand to suck in all the flour, and then threw it into the air. When the flour dispersed into a ball of white smoke, Throwing a small fireball over, a ball of fire exploded instantly.
The people present were startled, and Frederick said to them: "I'm going back first."
Omet followed him into the carriage, and after saying a few words, he asked: "Principal, have you been in trouble recently?" Why have you tightened your investment?"
Frederick turned his head and looked at the sparkling river outside the car window, and said calmly: "Money must flow like water to be valuable, but where does the water flow? It’s important, but it can’t become a pool of stagnant water that eventually dries up.”
“I said I wanted to open a bank. When the banker comes to me and agrees to work for me, I will let him review it. He is responsible for these plans and loans."
Omet breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
Frederick asked him: "Why, you are also looking for investment?"
"That's right." Ogilvy said proudly, "The good thing you once said has come to fruition!"< br>
