The correct way to open the sprite

Chapter 68 Level [-] Welder Alchemist

After listening to Feng Yu's request, Clarence threw the two iron pipes in his hand to one of his apprentices, and gave Feng Yu a blank look.Who should be buried, this kind of work can be done by an alchemist, do I still need to do it myself? !

Feng Yu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

But when the rejoined gun barrel returned to Feng Yu's hand again, Feng Yu looked at the smooth barrel inside and outside as if it had never been broken except for the color difference caused by the high temperature, with a shocked mouth They couldn't fit together.

He felt that he had to re-evaluate the abilities of these alchemists, and even re-evaluate the complementarity between the magic system and modern technology.

This kind of welding process can already put all the top welders on the earth ashamed, right? !
He felt that with these lovely alchemists, he could be a little more courageous.

Feng Yu held Clarence's hand enthusiastically, and said kindly: "Master, do you want to create miracles and write history with me?"

Clarence: "...(⊙⊙?)"

The so-called Clarence alchemist and apprentices who had been in the laboratory all day without knowing it were pulled over by Feng Yu without any explanation. For this reason, he used very extreme methods.He threatened that if Clarence didn't go, he would invite the dwarf craftsmen to drink tonight, and then lead twenty or thirty drunk dwarves to destroy the alchemy laboratory in the camp.

Of course, Clarence knew that this was nonsense. What moved his heart was Feng Yu's proposal to put the steam engine on a special large ship to create a steam-powered ship that could sail against the current in the cold water river, the Clarence.

Clarence, who has seen steam engines, demon hunting guns and artillery, has no reason to doubt whether Feng Yu can really do this. He is already busy dreaming, including his apprentices.

Compared with the Yangtze River, the Lengshui River is the younger brother. However, due to the impact of ice blocks in the spring for many years, the water in the river is not only cold, but also very deep. , Undercurrents and torrents are almost hidden under the deep river water, which creates favorable conditions for sailing.

However, because the Cattail City camp was actually a temporary camp, and the elves and halflings who came here to escape the cold were spontaneous, no one cared about using water as a means of transportation.

Besides, whether it is elves, halflings, or dwarves, they only appeared on both sides of the Lengshui River a hundred years ago. They are all landlubbers in the interior, and they have subconscious resistance to the deep and cold Lengshui River.

So after so many years, except for the dwarves who used long logs to raft across the river, few people would think of using the river water and building ships.

You know, the Lengshui River has been going upwards, except when it reaches the tributary of the Obscure Moon Forest, and then to the north due to the sharp uplift of the terrain, there are torrents and waterfalls. Flat river surface.

Then, once the large automatic steam ship mentioned by Feng Yu can be built, it can go straight up the river and drive all the way to the mouth of the branch of the Obscure Moon Forest.

In other words, there is no problem in terms of geographical environment for the navigation between the two places.

Regarding this point, Clarence, who went along the river to the Obscure Moon Forest, and later returned to the camp from the Obscure Moon Forest, is very clear about it.

He looked at Feng Yu's drawings, and couldn't imagine that steaming big boat with his name written in elven characters, pulling white salt and exquisite porcelain, appeared at the mouth of the Obscure Moon Forest, in the Obscure Moon Forest What kind of expression will the elves look like?

Clarence felt that since he couldn't imagine it, he might as well try it, since being idle is idle anyway.

Feng Yu will not be reckless. He used a steam engine forging hammer to forge some small pieces of thin iron plates, made a model, and used an equal-proportioned counterweight to simulate the steam engine on board to obtain relevant data.

Of course, no matter how much he tests, the structure, force, material strength and other conditions are all limiting conditions, and he doesn't know how to build a big ship.

However, he had already handed over the details of the shipbuilding conditions such as buoyancy and displacement to the students, and he hoped that a lunatic who liked big guys would emerge from among the elves and build a [-]-ton giant ship as a surprise for Grian Continent.

But that will have to wait until Feng Yu completes the industrialization layout, and now it is difficult to even transport some materials, let alone a [-]-ton giant ship.

There is basically no wind on the surface of the Lengshui River, and the wind is also a horizontal east wind, so Feng Yu didn't plan to make it into a sailboat.

He wanted to make it smaller, relying on manpower to drive the paddle wheel, just like the manpower boats in the park lake.

But it was different now. With the alchemist's magic seamless welding technology, he could completely make the boat bigger and make it into a flat-bottomed boat with grids inside. The surrounding hulls were connected by vertical and horizontal iron grids to increase the strength of the whole ship.

Then, with the help of the alchemist, a thinner and lighter steam engine was created, used on the ship, driven by the crankshaft, and a vertical steam power transmission system was realized directly on an unsealed grid behind.

In this way, the problem of poor sealing of the propeller drive shaft at the tail can be avoided, and the paddle wheel can be skipped directly to realize propeller power.

But don’t say that propellers are difficult to process. The most difficult process is the high-end products with curved surfaces and noise reduction. The world doesn’t know what sonar is. Considering what that thing does, as long as the ship can move.

Just relying on the abilities of the professional blacksmiths in the dwarf blacksmith workshop, knocking on a three-bladed propeller is not difficult, the worst is that it is not standardized, and it will be over after a while, which is not a problem for Feng Yu.

There are too many flints that can't support the camp, open-pit rich ore coal, and it doesn't cost money or license to mine casually, just use the waste and re-smelt it.

He has now begun to design a fan driven by a steam engine that can blow air like in a furnace. In addition, using a steam engine to drive a pulverizer to crush flint, directly burning coal powder and blowing air like the earth, can increase the temperature in the furnace and directly build a large furnace. In steelmaking, there is no need to repeatedly heat and forge with a hammer to increase the rigidity of the iron blank.

There are too many things, but Feng Yu is not in a hurry. The more anxious the more chaotic, it is easy to make mistakes. He made a planning table, led the students to do the same thing as the craftsmen, and taught while doing it, trying to make a batch that can be used. workers come out.

Clarence also exploded with great enthusiasm, staring at the steam forging hammer every day, watching the simple forged iron plates being processed, and arranged for people to carry them to the side of the ship, and then he rushed up with his apprentices and took the iron plates welded to the hull.

Seeing the hull slowly take shape, Clarence was unprecedentedly satisfied, and offered to help Feng Yu solve the problem of the light marine steam engine, and strive to get this iron guy into the water as soon as possible, to see if it is as Feng Yu said, this big guy of pure iron It will float on the surface of the water steadily, and as long as you add flint, you can go upstream against the current and drive all the way to the tributaries of the Obscure Moon Forest.
