Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 368 The initial success of the steam engine, the apocalypse explodes!
time flies

Before I knew it, it was already May.

During this period of time, Zhu Youxiao didn't go to court very much, but stayed in Yongding County. Today's Yongding County has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

According to Zhang Haogu's ideas, the villages in Yongding County are basically gathered together, and the architectural styles of the houses are similar.

All bricks and tiles, and the use of cement.

Today, the lives of the people in Yongding County are relatively affluent, and they already have enough money for consumption, so they naturally pursue their own living conditions.

Nowadays, many brick factories have been opened in Yongding County, and the sales of turning heads are very good.

Zhang Haogu spent a lot of thought to formulate a unified standard. The hollow bricks he produced were also hollow bricks, and the houses were extraordinarily beautiful.

Zhu Youxiao has been here a few times, and he is very satisfied with this place.

By the way, he also built a house here.

As a carpenter, Zhu Youxiao also designed this house by himself, which gave him an indescribable sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

It was as if he felt that the happiness brought to him by being the magistrate of Yongding County was far greater than that of being an emperor.

However, now, Zhu Youxiao has stepped down as the magistrate of Yongding County. Now the magistrate of Yongding County is Zhou Jinyong. This person is a group of students who joined Datong College very early. It has brought enough economic development to the farm owners.

Now he was appointed by Zhu Youxiao as the magistrate of Yongding County.

Zhou Jinyong also knew Zhu Youxiao's identity, and he was more or less excited. If the economy of Yongding County developed, wouldn't Zhou Jinyong not be able to make a fortune in the future?
Zhu Youxiao just occasionally watches the economic development of Yongding County, and his greatest joy now is to quickly get a steam engine out.

Zhu Youxiao built his own house behind the Academy of Science and Technology.

Now the steam engine is also at a critical time.

"Steam engine, the 370th test!"

Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath, and then glanced at the craftsmen beside him: "Start heating!"

Now the steam engine that Zhu Youxiao has developed is mainly used for pumping water.

This is an egg-shaped container, which is first filled with steam, then the steam inlet valve is closed, and cold water is sprayed outside the container to condense the steam in the container to form a vacuum.

Then open the water inlet valve, allow water to be sucked in the container through the water inlet pipe by the atmospheric pressure, then close the water inlet valve, reopen the steam inlet valve, and press the water in the container through the drain valve by steam pressure.

When the water in the container is emptied and filled with steam, close the steam inlet valve and drain valve, and spray water again to condense the steam.

This cycle is repeated, using two egg-shaped containers to work alternately, which can continuously drain water.

This is already a great improvement. Zhang Haogu also stared at this test, and he didn't know how long it took before he saw the water in the pool on one side being pumped out.

"Success!"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly became excited, and then hugged Zhang Haogu: "Master, master, look, it's successful, I've succeeded!"

Zhang Haogu also looked at the huge machine in front of him, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, you are really a genius, a genius, it seems that you really succeeded!"

"Master, next step, can I use it to build the train that the master said, and also, the boat made with a steam engine!" Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Haogu with bright eyes.

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the first thing we need to do is to combine the steam engine with the textile machine. This is also a troublesome thing. The Emperor Rongchen asks you a few questions!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Haogu and said, "You ask!"

"Your Majesty, have you ever wondered why the pumping speed is so slow?" Zhang Haogu asked.

"This!" Zhu Youxiao fell into deep thought: "Master, you mean to speed up the pumping?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the function of this steam engine is to introduce steam into the cylinder and then the valve is closed, then cold water is sprinkled into the cylinder, and a vacuum is created when the steam condenses. However, the thermal efficiency is very low because the steam enters the cylinder. , and lose a lot of heat by condensation on the cylinder wall that has just been cooled by water!"

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while, and then quickly said: "I probably understand what the master means. It is a steam engine with a condenser that finds a way to separate the cylinder wall?"

"Yes, this is the next step!" Zhang Haogu nodded, and said with a smile: "The next research direction is a separate condenser, an insulating layer outside the cylinder, oil-lubricated pistons, planetary gears, and parallel motion couplings." Rod mechanisms, centrifugal governors, dampers, pressure gauges, and more!"

Zhang Haogu's sudden burst of vocabulary made Zhu Youxiao slightly taken aback, and then said: "Master, how do you know so many things?"

"Your Majesty, I read a lot of books, but I am still willing to have a good discussion with the Emperor!" Zhang Haogu laughed. As long as the Watt steam engine is produced, it can be used in industry. It is no longer called the Watt steam engine, but the Apocalypse steam engine.

It's all the same anyway.

Zhu Youxiao fell into deep thought, then nodded and said: "Master, tell me quickly!"

"Your Majesty, let's have something to eat first!" Zhang Haogu smiled, and said slowly: "I have guarded here all night!"

"Okay, okay, eat!" Zhu Youxiao nodded, and someone sent two big white steamed buns,

However, before eating a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, suddenly, there was a loud noise from the capital. In an instant, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and even the whole Yongding County could feel the trembling of the ground slightly.

what's going on!
Zhu Youxiao stood up suddenly, looked in the direction of the capital, and saw a huge mushroom cloud rising slowly,

Zhang Haogu saw it, and then sighed softly: "It's still here!"

The big event in the six years of the apocalypse, the big bang of the apocalypse!

At 9:[-] a.m. on the sixth day of May in the sixth year of Tianqi, a bizarre explosion occurred in the area near the gunpowder depot of Wanggong Factory located in the southwest corner of the capital.

The explosion had a radius of about 750 meters and an area of ​​2.23 square kilometers, causing more than 2 deaths and injuries.The cause of the explosion is unknown, the phenomenon is strange, and the disaster is huge. It is "unprecedented in ancient and modern times."

The "Dead Hill Incident" in ancient India and the "Tunguska Explosion" in Siberia, Russia are also known as the three mysteries of nature in the world.

Now, the apocalypse big bang happened right in front of my eyes.
