Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 165 163. Magic Boiler
On the 29th, Kur Yagan, Jonny and others finally made a set of handmade steam cylinders, as well as supporting pistons, reversing brakes, connecting rods, flywheels and so on.

Hearing the good news, Rand ran to the magic workshop. Even though the steam boiler was still being made, Rand still wanted to test the completion of the cylinder first.

For the cylinder to operate, gas must be delivered to the cylinder smoothly, but there is no wind mage or air supply device in the camp, so Hulante simply pulled the fire.

The experiment was set up very rough and simple. The fire was tied in the yard. The experiment required her to release a stream of air close to the whirlwind and send it directly into the steam inlet with a diameter of about 15 cm on the cylinder, 20 meters away. If the breath reaches the piston, it can turn the flywheel. It means that the cylinder is basically successful.

Let a monster do this kind of precise experiment. It can be said that the orc was silent and the Tower of Purity shed tears. Rand himself was not very reliable.

"Agni, it's not a wind blade, don't break this cylinder." In the workshop, Rand rode on a horse, trying to guide Agni's wind magic power with his fighting spirit.Once he felt that the wind blade inspired by the fire was too powerful, Rand had to use his own fighting spirit to guide it away from the cylinder.

"铛~铛" Several wind blades hit the wall built by the earth goblin, sending out a huge vibration.

"Shaving the edges is really useful. I will ask you to find a smoother before you paint the wall next time." Looking at the wind blade inspired by the fire, Rand felt as if he was controlling the bucket of an excavator to lift a bottle to pour water into a cup.

"My lord," Kay ran over, "may I communicate with her?"

The centaur girl walked up to Agni, put her hands in a state of prayer, drooping her eyes, and silently recited the prayers. The monster horse, who was still a little restless just now, understood and pressed the huge horse head to the girl's forehead.

"This is..." Johnny and the others looked at it in shock, but they were thinking in their hearts, they all have four hooves, can they really have a common language?

About 10 minutes later, the fire really inspired a relatively weak wind blade, and the wind weakened after 5 meters away, and then the second wind blade hit, and after the two winds interlaced, a strange airflow was formed. Seconds later, the air accurately entered the steam inlet, the magic of the wind drove the air into the cylinder, pushed the piston, the piston drove the connecting rod to rotate the flywheel, the connecting rod and the slide valve drove the reversing valve in the cylinder, so that the air could drive the piston Do reciprocating motion.

The magic of "thump thump thump" Agni only lasted for tens of seconds, and the flywheel only turned a few times, but these few turns proved that the fruits of labor of Kur Yagan, Sophia and others can be operated.

"My lord?" Sophia looked at the running wheel, "If you only need this wheel to turn, why don't you use the wind to directly push the windmill?" Then draw on a piece of paper, "You can draw some The runes of the wind system, taught by Mr. Gandalf, can increase the speed of the wind."

"There is something wrong with your windmill. If the shaft in the middle is not strong enough, it will be useless soon." Lante looked at the girl and took a carbon pen. "You can also remove the shaft and make a shaftless fan." Rand painted while talking, "We can also make this kind of spiral fan, so that the contact area between the wind and the fan is larger."

"My lord, these?" Sophia, Yinghuo, Jonny and even Kay all came over and looked at the blueprints drawn by Rand.

"You can try all of these. My idea is very simple. What I need is power. It can be a boiler to boil water, convert coal into power, or convert magic into power." For Rand, coal mines are ready-made resources. No need for nothing.But it would be great if Sofia was inspired to develop magic that could be converted to power, or made more efficient.

"Let's try it, but I'm afraid there are still many parts that you need to buy separately." Johnny looked embarrassed.

"It's okay, you tell me this afternoon, what else do you need to buy, I'll ask Dugan to buy it together."

In the afternoon, Rand spoke to Dugan, and Dugan reported that there were some factories in the imperial capital that had a similar demand for Rand, and he had asked Master John to go to the imperial capital to buy them.

"John asked if you want to buy small and medium connecting rods and cranks" Duggan is not familiar with the vocabulary of the industry, but Rand understands, "John said that some factories in the capital have such things, if you don't mind scrapping parts If so, it should be quite cheap.”

Immediately afterwards, Dugan also specially took the note written by John to him, explaining that the so-called scrapped parts were because the magic runes on the parts were scrapped, not because there was a problem with the workpiece structure.Once the runes failed and the magical properties disappeared, the price of the artifact dropped by an order of magnitude.

"If you can, help me buy some bearings and fans." In line with the principle of making use of ready-made human industrial achievements as much as possible, Rand put forward all his needs, and also specially drew a sample picture, asking Dugan to draw it as it is, "Did John say, what equipment in the factory does this part use?"

"He seemed to mention something about rune stamping"

Rand had a new understanding of the empire's industry in his heart, and entrusted Master John to purchase these scrap parts as much as possible.

In the evening, Rand specifically contacted Ben Kaur, wondering which equipment in the imperial capital would use the transmission structure.

"In terms of function, your equipment is not uncommon. It is used in many places. You should have done magic upgrades in Dragon Tooth City, and that equipment used a similar device." Benkaur kept recalling.

"Yes, but there is no magic furnace in my castle, and there are no leylines under the castle. I want to use coal as energy."

"It's not impossible. As far as I know, some arsenals in the imperial capital have manufactured some machines for stamping and engraving runes in recent years. It is estimated that some of them are similar to what you need."

"In addition, the Imperial Salt Iron Division has very similar equipment, but they are not connecting rods in the transmission box, but metal with repulsive effect runes drawn, but such a transmission box is probably not sold to you by the Iron Division. "

"Tell me what I can buy." Lante doesn't think Yantiesi's equipment can be bought as soon as it is bought

"There used to be a relatively primitive one, which has been out of use for hundreds of years, but...Wendy, why don't you take someone to those caves tomorrow to look for it, maybe there are still more." Ben told his side girl. "

Of course, Rand couldn't just wait for the news from the capital. He asked Kuryagan to manufacture 4 or 5 sets in small batches according to the connecting rod and cylinder plan that he had explored.

After another 3 days, Kur Yagan finally made an iron cover for the medium-sized salt cooking pot. There are water injection ports and steam outlets on the cover. After Kay draws runes, it can form a steam boiler with the salt cooking pot , after being assembled with a set of cylinders, the output power can drive a water wheel to raise the water to the height of 2-3 floors.

The heating part of the steam furnace is assisted by the flame goblin to heat the rune plate. If only coal is burned, the heating efficiency will be significantly reduced.

Rand saw a boiler room for a period of time in his previous life. After the initial completion of the boiler, he began to design a preheating device to use the heat of the exhausted steam to heat the water that was about to enter the boiler in advance.
