Chapter 60 The Steam Engine

When these dwarves arrived at the camp, Feng Yu's second-generation machine tool had already produced two machines, one for drilling and the other for threading.

However, due to power reasons, these two machine tools can only process copper metals. If you want to process steel, the two animals that pull the turntable are not capable.

Feng Yu originally planned to use copper to make a steam engine, and then rely on the power of the steam engine to make a special machine tool, increase the power again, and make iron parts, but now, enough copper to make a steam engine has come.

The machine he designed was extremely complicated in the eyes of dwarf craftsmen, and no one knew what it was for. As the parts were produced one by one, Feng Yu was installing and testing, and the crowd of onlookers became more and more.

Clarence knew that Feng Yu was starting to make things from his hometown again, so he came to watch early. When the machine was almost assembled, even Nicole brought Anthony. Hit a step down.

But now Feng Yu is not in the mood to care about those things, he is busy arranging people to add water, and this job was finally taken away by Dick.The short man moved a bench and staggered to fill up the water. Allen, who was lighting the fire underneath, didn't snatch him. He was so angry that he added flint and cursed at the same time, threatening to stop drinking for this muscular man.

Since they are all metal sealed, although the texture of copper is soft, the sealability is still not satisfactory. This requires continuous improvement of machining accuracy to reduce the tolerance of parts, but it cannot fundamentally solve the problem, but fortunately it does not affect the use.

Feng Yu had already greased the running parts of the machine, and was just waiting for the water to 'boil'.

When the piston was slowly pushed by the water vapor, Allen shouted in surprise: "It's moving, it's really moving!"

Feng Yu hurriedly stopped: "Brother, please keep your voice down, if you call our book like that again, it will be banned!"

Allen didn't understand what Feng Yu meant, but when he heard the word kill, he hurriedly stepped back a few steps, and turned the crowd of dwarf blacksmiths who were watching behind him on their backs, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

With more and more steam, the speed of the flywheel driven by the piston is getting faster and faster, and the crowd of onlookers exclaimed.

Amidst the commotion, Dick shouted, "Brother Darren, do you want to turn off the clutch?"

The clutch is the power separation device between the steam engine and the machine tool designed by Feng Yu. It uses a violent friction method. As Feng Yu nods, Dick pushes the lever according to the steps taught by Feng Yu in advance, so that the clutch device matches, and the knife of the machine tool The head turned quickly.

Dick took the pre-cast metal blanks one by one and started processing.

"Brother Darren, this thing is really powerful. You see, even iron parts can easily get in."

Feng Yu hurriedly said: "Don't forget to sprinkle water, the high temperature of friction will reduce the hardness of the blade!"

Allen shouted from the side: "The water is coming! The water is coming!"

While sprinkling water, Allen asked, "Brother Darren, isn't this part still on this big machine? Do you still want to build this machine?"

Feng Yu nodded and said: "This thing is called a steam engine, and it relies on steam to push the piston in the cylinder to generate power.

But you are right, we will continue to build steam engines, and we need three for the machine tool alone.

Then let's improve it and produce another steam engine suitable for agricultural production. It is placed next to the canal in the salt pan, and the steam engine drives the water pump to pump seawater into the salt pan in the wilderness.

There are also halfling brothers who have arranged one beside the field, so that once you have repaired the canal, you don't need to carry water hard.This way we can till more fields and even plant fruit trees and delicate vegetables.

With this thing, we can use the inexhaustible water from the Lengshui River to irrigate a ten thousand mu of fertile land in the wilderness. "

Allen said in surprise: "Ah? What kind of water pump, can it help us halflings carry water?"

Feng Yu patted Alan and said, "Don't worry, you won't need halfling brothers to carry water anymore. But you have to treat Dick to a good meal, after all, the dwarf brothers need to help make this kind of machine! "

Every time Feng Yu saw the short stature of the halfling carrying a heavy wooden bucket to water the crops on the wasteland, Feng Yu's nose felt sore.

And his second purpose of making the steam engine is to solve the height difference between the wasteland and the Lengshui River, so that the halflings' labor force can be liberated, and more land can be cultivated to meet Feng Yu's future layout for Cattail City.

As a child from Huaxia, Feng Yu is well aware of the important role of agriculture, and after solving the problem of water shortage in the wasteland, the large piece of wasteland along the Lengshui River can completely become a large piece of fertile land.

And these fertile fields without shortage of water are exactly Feng Yu's big move to lure the halfling.

Allen looked at Feng Yu in a daze: "Brother Darren, can this steam engine really bring the river water to the wasteland?"

Feng Yu sneaked a glance at Anthony who was not far away, and said: "Of course, this is one of the reasons why I made this kind of machine. It is too difficult for the halfling brothers to carry water to irrigate the crops. In order to fill the stomachs of everyone in the camp , you are tired."

Allen's eye circles were red, and he almost cried when he saw Feng Yu.

Feng Yu said to them: "In fact, steam engines can not only drive machine tools and pump water, but also can do more work with corresponding machinery. They can lift bigger hammers to beat iron embryos, weave cloth, and thresh grain. , grinding the flour.

It is like our body, and the machine is like our hands. As long as it is a simple job, it can help us complete it by designing corresponding machinery.In my hometown, people there have invented many very complicated machines, and those machines have replaced our labor.

In this way, we will have more time to learn and create more advanced machines. This is the form of our civilization there.

Well, we still have to work here, please try not to crowd around, and please don't talk, processing the parts of this kind of machine is very troublesome and requires very delicate operations, so please don't disturb these craftsmen. "

That's what Feng Yu said, but these curious people didn't move at all, but their voices disappeared, and they just stared at the steam engine, as if it was inlaid with peerless jewels, which made Feng Yu extremely helpless.

Dick asked while processing parts: "Brother Darren, can this machine be used for ore mining?"

"Yes, it can drive the winch to lift ore or drill holes. Sorry, I really don't know how to mine. But as long as you invent the corresponding mechanical structure, it can do a lot of things."

Allen said suddenly: "Oh, I see, drive the winch and pull the bucket from the river to the wilderness, right?"
