Back to the Three Kingdoms and become a python

Chapter 224 The Age of Steam Comes

Hearing the shouts around, Lin Bei felt very satisfied. This is a steam car, the first steam car in history. Lin Bei participated in the whole process and watched the whole process. He deeply knew how powerful the steam engine is.

According to the original history, the steam engine will appear in the 500th century, and it is only 500 AD. Because of the appearance of Linbei, the steam engine appeared [-] years earlier than the original time. What is the concept of [-] years earlier? ?

Lin Bei can't figure it out, but he believes that, given him about 100 years, he is confident to lead the craftsmen to raise the level of technology to the beginning of the 100th century, and then it will take another [-] years at most to reach the The level of science and technology in [-] for future generations.

"In 200 years, almost 400 AD, we can reach the level of technology in the 21st century, mobile phones, computers, and global villages. What will we do in the remaining 600 years?" Lin Bei inexplicably thought of a sentence: I The goal is the sea of ​​stars.

"At that time, I guess I have to enter the space age, and I don't know if I can live to that age."

Lin Bei's mind was wide open, which seemed to An Zhongzhi and Bian Ji to be extremely happy. Hearing that the common people were still cheering, Bian Ji lightly touched Lin Bei and coughed, which meant that my lord, don't Stunned, you have to be inspiring.

Lin Bei withdrew his thoughts, and he didn't know what to say, because he had already said just now, good, very good, he felt that this was enough to express, but the cheering of the crowd didn't mean to stop, Lin Bei could only raise his voice He raised his tail to signal them to stop first.

The cheers gradually stopped, and Lin Bei said again: "My lord is very satisfied now. You may not realize the great effect of this steam carriage, but as far as my lord is concerned, this represents a sign. It marks the beginning of Starting today, the goal of our Wanghai City is no longer limited to South Vietnam, but to the Central Plains, and to the sea area hundreds of miles around. As for the scope of this area, I will tell you a word: the goal is as big as the heart .”

Naturally, many common people didn't understand, but as soon as Lin Bei finished speaking, these people still cheered, and the adults shouted loudly, thinking that what the adults said was really lofty, and it sounded exciting, right?

The steam carriage is still moving forward non-stop. This carriage can be said to be the painstaking efforts and crystallization of the craftsmen. Although it is made of wood, it is really extremely strong.The tracked wheels also improved the stability of the car by several levels, so it drove smoothly and steadily. After driving for nearly ten miles, Lin Bei signaled the craftsmen to put out the fire.

"How long did it take?" Lin Bei asked An Zhongzhi.

An Zhong shook his head, he didn't remember, he just watched the car run away, Lin Bei looked at Bian Ji again, Bian Ji also shook his head.How could he care to count the time,

The craftsmen all looked excited.However, he still did not forget his job, surrounded the car, and disassembled the car to see if the parts inside were broken.

"The boiler is fine and intact." The blacksmiths reported.

"Some wood breakage on the axles of the wheels, better wood may be needed."

"Only a little bit of wear on the tracks. Needs stronger tracks."

"Where's the steam engine? Is there a problem?"

"No, but the leather tube has melted a bit and can't bear the temperature."

Each problem is thrown by the craftsmen, and then these problems will be left to the corresponding craftsmen to solve, in general.The test run of the steam carriage was quite satisfactory. After Lin Bei watched it for a long time, the development craftsmen seemed to have not noticed the problem with the steering wheel, so they asked: "The road is going straight now. If you want to deviate How to do the direction? Have you thought about this problem? You can’t let someone turn the wheel in front of you? Can you put something on the wheel so that the wheel can change direction at any time?”

Some of the craftsmen were thoughtful, and some suddenly realized.

"Also, just now I saw that the cabin of the steam car was shaking when it was moving. Can you push down the weight of the whole car body to make the bottom heavier and the top lighter? Do you understand what I mean? The center of gravity is at the bottom, In this way, it is not easy to shake, and the upper compartment is made of lighter and stronger wooden boards, and the compartment is enlarged to facilitate the carrying of people and goods in the future."

At this time, Lin Bei's advanced vision plays a very important role. He does not understand the principle, but he knows how to maximize the role of a car. It is not enough to carry a few people. Lin Bei's ambition Bobo, the steam engine has been built, so can the train go far?

In fact, a train is no different from a car, except that one has more power, and at the same time, the rails erected reduce the demand for some power. Without rails, a train with dozens of carriages can be built, but it will definitely not move. Lin Bei didn't plan to make it all at once, and a longer truck would do. When the conditions are ripe, Lin Bei may not need to talk about it, and the craftsmen will naturally think of that aspect.

The craftsmen naturally attached the most importance to Lin Bei's words. After listening to the questions raised by Lin Bei, many craftsmen felt that they hit the nail on the head. Improve every day.

That night, Lin Bei didn't return to the City Lord's Mansion, and blazing torches were lit outside the city. The craftsmen were all high-spirited, and they revised Lin Bei's questions and some minor problems that appeared after the steam car drove overnight.

Many people in ancient times didn't have the problem of staying up late, they would go to bed very early, but this night, except for those who couldn't survive, almost all stayed outside the city.

The attention of the people, the steam carriage is indeed the attention of the people. At first, it may only be because of Lin Bei's attention, but now, without Lin Bei's words, the people of Wanghai City also understand the benefits of the steam carriage.

Compared with traditional horse-drawn carriages, steam-type carriages are quite miraculous. Common people are talking about steam-style carriages, talking about the fact that they don’t use any livestock, and what kind of roads they can walk on. Some people have even thought that if a steam engine is installed on a ship, it will How, and this is what Lin Bei has not said yet.

At six o'clock in the morning, the sky had already been brightened at this time, and the refitted steam carriage started to light the fire again under the eyes of everyone, preparing for the second test run.

The bottom of the modified carriage is closer to the ground, but the carriage has become open, and a rotatable trigger is added. The trigger is in contact with the wheel with a gear, as long as the trigger is turned.It can make the wheels change direction, but because the wheels are crawler-type, the speed of changing direction is not fast, and the angle is not large. It can only turn about [-] degrees, and the right-angle turn cannot be turned at once.But this is already a great improvement.

The steam car was running again, this time only one craftsman was on board, and when the wheels were turning, Lin Bei said straight to An Zhong: "Remember the time."

After driving for about five miles smoothly, Lin Bei glanced at An Zhongzhi: "How long did it take?"

"A quarter and a half." An Zhong said straight away.

According to the current timekeeping standard, a quarter of an hour is fourteen and a half minutes, which is almost 15 minutes, and a quarter and a half hour is 21 minutes, counting 10 minutes.That is, you can run fifteen miles in an hour, and you can run thirty miles in an hour.

Lin Bei was quite satisfied, because this kind of speed is already very fast in this era, Lin Bei shouted to the craftsman on the car: "Pull the trigger, turn, and get off the road."

In addition to running on the flat stone road, Lin Bei also wanted to test the ability of the steam carriage to run on ordinary roads. After all, there are not so many good roads for the steam carriage to travel in this era.The steam wagon must be suitable for most backcountry trails.

The craftsman on the car nodded and turned the trigger.It's not too hard to turn the trigger, anyway, it's relatively easy for a grown man.

The car slowly deviated from the cobblestone road. The pavement of the cobblestone road was a palm higher than the ground outside. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the wheels.

The car began to tilt, and the back was tilted up, and the craftsmen who followed did not dare to blink.

"The wheels have no cracks."

"No problem. Carry on."

Until the whole car drove down the stone road completely and saw that it was still running normally, the common people burst into cheers again.

The tracked wheels firmly gripped the ground, and then rolled over, small stones under the wheels.The grass and small pits were all flattened, leaving the tooth marks of the wheels.

"The speed doesn't seem to be much slower." Bian Ji, who had been staring at the car, shouted at this time.

Lin Bei also nodded. Indeed, the speed of the car has not slowed down. The speed is almost the same as driving on the stone road. This is obviously the good effect brought by the tracked wheels.

"Throw some stones and clods in front of the car." Lin Bei shouted again, seeing that the common people were a little dazed, as if they didn't understand what he meant, Lin Bei shouted again: "Throw it quickly."

The common people finally came to their senses, grabbed some stones and clods on the ground, and threw them in front of the car. Under the worried eyes of the craftsmen, the car was slightly bumped, but the amplitude was very small. If you don't pay attention, you can hardly notice it. Because the bottom weight moves down and the center of gravity is stable.

"How about the wheels? How about the teeth? How about the tracks? Are they broken?"

"Not bad."

"The teeth are intact."

"The tracks are a bit worn, but still runnable."

The craftsmen shouted and reported the situation, and Lin Bei was completely relieved.

"Okay, go ahead, keep driving, and see how far a furnace of charcoal can support the car."

Under the attention of everyone, this first steam car in history was quite powerful. It moved forward steadily, and after driving for an hour, it turned and drove towards the city, and finally stopped not far outside the city. The journey is nearly sixty miles and takes about two hours.

When it stopped, there was another louder cheer than before. Everyone knew that the steam carriage had indeed succeeded.

Lin Bei walked up to those craftsmen and encouraged each craftsman one by one.

"well-done."

"Not bad."

"Thanks for your hard work."
