Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 539 The Roar of the Steam Harvester (Please Subscribe!)
The most important thing in ancient times was chastity, which the ancients called "exploring their breasts, sniffing their armpits, touching their texture, and observing their chastity".

Once the final step is entered, someone will take the remaining beautiful girls to the closed room one by one at this time.

Take off your clothes and check your whole body to see if there are spots or scars on your body, smell your body for any peculiar smell, and check to see if you are a virgin.

After this step, there are only about 300 women left.They will become maids of honor, pending further observation.

This is probably the activist of the imperial concubine.

The next step is to prepare the imperial concubine, and finally the imperial concubine!

"Long live! Long live!"

At this time, the old eunuch Li Zhongjie hurried over. Before he arrived, the voice came, and the voice was full of excitement.

"So bluffing, is there something big going on?"

Seeing Eunuch Li, Zhu Kezang, who was studying the concubine in this way, asked doubtfully.

"Long live God, under the leadership of Yan Yuan, the students of Gewu Zhizhi Academy made a good thing."

"Let's go, Lord Long Live, I'll take you to have a look. Mr. Yan is ready to show you."

Old Eunuch Li is usually steady, so it must be a good thing to make him look like this.

"good stuff?"

"Your Majesty, those students are really promising this time. The thing they invented is of great help to agriculture. With it, a farmer can plant hundreds or even thousands of acres of land."

No wonder Li Zhongjie is in such a hurry, the most important thing in Ming Dynasty is agriculture, as long as it is related to agriculture, it is a big deal.

Zhu Kezang: Mother Xipi, it can't be that machine, right?

I haven't paid attention to Gewu Zhizhi Academy for a long time, but I didn't expect them to come up with a good machine.

"Your Majesty, why are you so happy!"

Coincidentally, Prime Minister Chen Yonghua also came to report to Zhu Kezang.

"Father-in-law just happened to be here too. I heard that Gewu Zhizhi Academy has good things. Let's take a look together."

"So good!"

As the prime minister, Chen Yonghua can really see the functions of the various machines developed by Daming and see their importance to this country!
"Can one person plant hundreds or thousands of acres of land?"

Chen Yonghua is happy, with this kind of machine, Daming will have more food!

Chen Yonghua followed Zhu Kezang in a four-wheeled carriage, and soon left the palace and walked towards the suburbs.

Since the establishment of the new city and new district, the location of the suburbs is now even more remote.

Fortunately, the traffic is developed, and there are no horse-drawn carriages. It only takes an hour to pass.

The experimental field under the Gewu Zhizhi Academy.

Many students of the college are busy, constantly debugging Daming's first steam harvester in the true sense.

Lu Fan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also looked at the harvester with great interest. Early in the morning, before the sun was in the middle, he was pulled out of the bed by Yan Yuan.

He said he wanted to see for himself the steam harvester he had developed.

"The design is very delicate, and it can even separate the wheat and the straw."

Lu Fan nodded frequently, the funds that the Ministry of Industry applied for to their college were not wasted!
"The Emperor is here~"

At this moment, old eunuch Li's exaggerated voice came, Lu Fan and Yan Yuan saw it, and hurried towards the emperor.

"emperor!"

The two were about to salute.

"Free! Free!"

Zhu Kezang has seen all kinds of harvesters in later generations. The crude steam harvester in front of him seems very simple, but it can still be seen that this machine is quite advanced.

Visual inspection is not only as simple as cutting off the wheat, but also can separate the wheat from the straw, eliminating the need for threshing, which can greatly save manpower.

"Lao Yan, Lao Lu, I can roughly understand the principle of this machine at a glance, please demonstrate it to the prime minister!"

Yan Yuan was full of confidence. He came to the machine excitedly, sat on it and said, "Intensify the fire!"

The boiler has already been ignited, and then the water in the boiler is heated.

Following Yan Yuan's order, some students began to add firewood to it.

Soon, a raging fire began to burn in the boiler, and billowing black smoke began to emit from the smoke pipe of the steam engine.

Yan Yuan kept looking at a meter. There was a pointer on the meter. The more the fire burned inside the boiler, the more pressure the water inside began to generate.

With the combustion of the boiler, the piston starts to start slowly, and the speed becomes faster and faster, generating powerful power.

The piston works to drive the coupling shaft, and the steam harvester, which was sitting quietly on the ground, starts to move.

Chen Yonghua thought to himself: There is a feeling of wooden cows and horses, and the steam engine is really more and more magical.

Although Yan Yuan sitting on the steam harvester and controlling the machine is proud, he is also very careful. This kind of big machine is not a joke. If he hurts the emperor, he will be a sinner through the ages.

The history books of later generations must write: Zhu Kezang, the first emperor of the ages, died young because of Yan Yuan's mistakes.

As the water in the boiler boils, more and more steam is generated, the piston moves more and more frequently, and the power generated becomes stronger and stronger.

"Wow!"

Accompanied by the sound of a whistle, billowing black smoke came out, and white gas was ejected from the gas valve.

The speed of the steam harvester is getting faster and faster. At the same time, Yan Yuan controls a pole. When the pole is pushed, driven by the gears and rubber belt, the harvesting part in front of the steam harvester starts to work.

The roar of the machine, I saw the steam harvester coming to the wheat field, the front part was pressed against the wheat, the blade cut, the ears of wheat were cut off, and the straw was also cut, and the harvest was soon completed.

The harvested ears of wheat are transported to the side bag along the conveyor belt, and the filling starts automatically. As for the straw, they are neatly arranged to the side.

I saw the steam harvester constantly moving forward in the wheat field, and the wheat in the wheat field had been harvested wherever it passed.

Bags full of wheat were placed neatly on the ground.

"It's a good thing, but the coal consumption is quite serious, and it still needs to be improved, improved!"

Zhu Kezang said so, but his heart was full of admiration.

He looked at the steam harvester in front of him. To be honest, it was a bit surprising that it could be produced now. Although this machine could not be compared with the later generations, it was already quite good.

You must know that the human harvester was not invented until 1831 in history!
In 1831, a farmer named Nong McCormick designed and produced the first combine harvester pulled by two horses, and its harvesting efficiency exceeded 30 laborers.

Since then, McCormick has been improving it. It is pulled by 40 horses and has a harvesting width of 30 meters. It even has a wheat orange packing device on it.

Inspired by this peasant inventor, the steam self-propelled harvester appeared again.

However, for individual farmers, it is natural that they cannot afford such a large coal-consuming household.

But on a large farm like Huangzhuang, the steam engine harvester is definitely promising.

"Your Majesty, it's not over yet!"
