Sun Ce laughed three times when he heard the words, and the anger just now was swept away, and he patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said:

"Gongjin is right, let's go, let's go to the street behind Qiao's house and ask, there must be clues to the two girls, hehe, as long as we snatch them, you and I will use each of them as a child." Concubine! Old man Joe is mad at me."

Zhou Yu's face twitched involuntarily.

Sometimes Sun Ce is really smarter than ordinary people, but this style of behavior also gives him a headache.

………………

Weiyuan Island!

Xu Ding led the crowd down the overpass.

After settling down Zhang Ning, and then looking for Huang Yueying, the little girl was so happy that she put down her work and walked around with Xu Ding.

"Brother Xu, where are we going?" Huang Yueying asked softly.

Xu Ding held her hand, pulled her while walking and said, "Go to your father's place. I heard that his steam engine is about to be produced. You should also take a look. It's a good thing."

"Steam engine?" Huang Yueying heard Huang Chengyan mention it once, as if it was a special device that Xu Ding asked him to get.

It is said that this thing is finished, it can replace human work, it can be used for forging in steel factories, and it can be used in all aspects.

"Yueying! In fact, we can slowly study weapons for the time being. I hope you can help your father to study and improve steam engines and other things. In terms of ordnance, we are far ahead of other states and counties in terms of experience, but people's livelihood It has just started, and it urgently needs to be vigorously developed to enrich the people and strengthen the state." What Xu Ding said is true, there is a limit to how the cold weapon can be improved and developed, and it is not worthwhile to invest too much money and energy.

Since the population of the Han Dynasty is too small compared to later generations, it is necessary to learn about the great powers in the colonial era.

The reason why the United Kingdom dominated the earth before World War II and established a country on which the sun never sets with a mere British Isles is because of their developed industries.

It is because they took the lead during the first industrial revolution and took advantage.

The first industrial revolution was marked by the widespread use of the steam engine as a power machine.

The first industrial revolution made the factory system replace manual workshops, and replaced manual labor with machines, thereby liberating manpower and allowing Britain's small population to invest in other areas.

For example, the military, which makes their ordnance progress and at the same time expands the number base of the army.

Huang Yueying saw that Xu Ding said it so solemnly, she nodded and said: "Okay Brother Xu, from now on I will put more energy on my father's side, and cooperate with him to improve and invent other things."

In short, Xu Ding is her god, he said that Huang Yueying followed suit, researched ordnance and invented trebuchets, etc., originally to help Xu Ding.

Soon the two came to Huang Chengyan's place. Huang Chengyan was busy with his assistants and disciples, and didn't pay attention to their arrival at all.

Chapter 338 Successful Development of the Steam Engine

"Continue to increase the firepower, everyone be careful, don't get blown up..."

On the test platform, Huang Chengyan directed his assistants to increase the firepower output of the steam engine, the steam was pressurized, and the whole machine began to roar.

Suddenly, a white water vapor came out of the mouth of the breath, and there was a whining sound.

The linkage bearings started to move, then the gears...

"Okay! Master Huang, it's a success!"

After a while, the steam engine was stable, there was no explosion, and there were no other problems. The assistant and the students looked at Huang Chengyan and congratulated.

Huang Chengyan wiped the sweat off his forehead with a sweat towel and nodded in satisfaction, "It was a success, we succeeded, now we can finally have an explanation with that boy Bokang."

The production of a steam engine is actually not complicated, and it is easy to get it out. Just talk about the general function and basic operation method.

Based on Huang Chengyan's understanding of the way of machinery, it is relatively easy to think about it.

However, the difficulty lies in how to make this thing stable, not to go out of the situation, and to increase its output power instead of simply running.

Therefore, there are many aspects to be involved in it, and naturally there will be more experiments.

What's more difficult is that to get this thing, you need to invent a lot of alternative control devices.

For example, throttle valves, centrifugal governors, separate condensers, heat insulation layers outside the cylinders, pistons, planetary gears, etc. These are all things that did not exist before, and they were specially invented because of the steam engine.

Of course, the names of these small parts must not be called this, but Huang Chengyan himself chose it according to the Mohist method. Naturally, it doesn't matter what it is called, it is just a pronoun.

"Congratulations!"

The steam engine finally succeeded, not only Huang Chengyan and others were delighted, but also Xu Ding.

He couldn't understand what a steam engine meant.

With this thing, many things can be developed, and many applications can be born.

For example, it can be installed on a ship to increase the speed of the ship several times and greatly increase the power output of the ship.

Also, after this thing is produced, it can be loaded on a car and turned into a train to increase land transportation capacity.

As for the steam engine car, just think about it, it is unrealistic until you get the rubber tree.

"Hey! When did Bokang come back?"

Keeping one's ears out of the window and focusing on research is probably the true portrayal of Huang Chengyan recently.

Perhaps this is the second time he has come back after leaving the island. He has not heard any news, and spends sleepless nights studying steam engines every day.

Xu Ding couldn't help being very serious, and replied with concern: "I just came back, the peninsula war is over, this is just to see your old age, don't work too hard when you are old, you have to study this thing slowly, it takes time to accumulate, There is no chance to do other things when you are tired.”

When Huang Chengyan saw Huang Yueying behind Xu Ding, he felt more at ease. This kid Xu Ding still had a conscience and knew to go to Yueying immediately.

So Fu Xu laughed loudly and said: "It's okay, it's just a gadget, and it will come out after you fiddle with it. You said this thing is very important, so naturally you should get it out first. How about it? Does it look good?"

Xu Ding nodded in satisfaction, then approached and observed this big guy.

It was basically as he had imagined. Anyway, Xu Ding didn't know much about it. He only understood the basic operating principle of the steam engine, and he didn't understand anything else.

When it comes to electric motors and internal combustion engines, maybe you can still come up with an idea. After all, steam engines have long been used in later generations, and all internal combustion engines and electric motors are used.

In later generations, whoever has never studied physical chemistry or something, who has never played with small electromechanical devices.

"Very good! But the noise is still a bit loud. I will continue to improve in the future, continue to increase the power output, optimize the structure, and make it as small as possible to make it more stable, safer, and more convenient to use." Xu Ding said a goal instruction, and then And said to everyone:

"Everyone has worked hard, go down and rest, record all your achievements, and reward them together at that time."

"Thank you, my lord!"

Huang Chengyan's assistant and disciples liked it very much, and they were motivated only by rewards. Naturally, everyone was happy, and they all replied, and then they all went down to rest.

Huang Chengyan left a few people to stare at the steam, let it continue to run, and then he also left the test platform with Xu Ding and Huang Yueying.

"Bokang, you said this steam engine is very important. What can it be used for? Can you tell me now?" After leaving the test platform, Huang Chengyan couldn't match his curiosity in the end.
