Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Watching the various parts of the motorcycle gradually taking shape, the craftsmen are all filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

"I am really proud of my life to be able to participate in such a significant project!" an old craftsman said excitedly.

"That's right! This motorcycle is definitely our greatest achievement!" Other craftsmen also felt the same way.

"You are right, it marks our progress." Chu Ze said in agreement: "Okay, it has begun to take shape, and we will continue to work hard to make it more perfect."

"Yes! We will definitely fulfill our mission!" The morale of the craftsmen was high.

After the boiler, cylinder, transmission system, chimney and other key components were successfully manufactured, this revolutionary new locomotive became increasingly complete.

"Very good, I also have some ideas." Chu Ze said: "For example, adding reinforced beams to key parts of the car body, using stronger connection methods, and designing buffer devices to absorb shock... I will discuss it with you in detail later. Please don’t be discouraged, we will definitely solve this problem and make it strong and safe!”

"Yes! Thank you for your encouragement, Your Majesty!" The craftsmen were refreshed, regained their confidence, and devoted themselves to the work of strengthening and optimizing the car body.

Under the guidance of Chu Ze, everyone repeatedly discussed and tested, and finally designed a car body with a stronger frame structure and tighter assembly.

Not only does it have a more streamlined appearance, but its operation stability is greatly improved.

"Great, I give this design full marks!" Chu Ze praised after seeing the prototype of the new car body: "You are simply genius designers! With such a super strong body, our motorcycles can be put on the road right away. "

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!" The craftsmen were flattered and extremely proud.

From design, trial production to continuous optimization and improvement, they have put in countless efforts, and now they finally see the dawn of success.

After each key component was successfully produced, the first revolutionary new locomotive was basically formed.

However, Chu Ze and the craftsmen were not satisfied.

"Everyone, although each component has been initially successful, in order to combine them organically and create a truly practical motorcycle, we still need to continue to optimize and improve." Chu Ze said solemnly.

"Yes! Your Majesty is absolutely right." The craftsmen expressed their deep agreement.

Therefore, on the basis of the successful production of boilers, cylinders, etc., they continued to carefully study the matching issues between various components and look for possible inconsistencies.

After repeated deliberation and testing, Chu Ze and the craftsmen decided to further improve the matching accuracy of the cylinder and piston.

"Everyone, I noticed that there is still a small gap between the inner wall of the cylinder and the shape of the piston, which will cause some steam to leak and reduce efficiency." Zuse said.

After hearing this, the craftsmen carefully inspected and found that it was indeed the case.

"The prince found it very accurately. This gap will indeed affect the performance." An old craftsman said: "It seems that we must further improve the matching accuracy of the piston and the cylinder to achieve a tight fit and completely eliminate steam leakage."

"Yes, I have some new processing techniques that I would like to introduce to you..." Chu Zesui patiently explained some modern methods to the craftsmen to improve the precision of the fit.

Under Chu Ze's guidance, the craftsmen quickly mastered these new techniques and applied them to the remanufacturing of cylinders and pistons.

After repeated debugging, the gap between the two was completely eliminated, and the fit reached 100% accuracy.

"Great, this accuracy has completely reached the standard!" After the test run, Chu Ze sincerely praised it. "It all depends on the prince's careful guidance!" The craftsmen were also very excited.

Next, they optimized the crank connecting rod in the transmission system...

In this way, with the continuous efforts of Chu Ze and his team of craftsmen, the matching accuracy and performance of each component have been continuously improved, and the overall efficiency of the locomotive has become increasingly higher.

Finally, after months of painstaking improvements, they ushered in a historic moment——

"Creak..." Under the watchful eyes of all the craftsmen, the huge locomotive started running slowly, and thick white smoke spewed out from the chimney.

It runs smoothly, has strong power, and all data shows that it is fully qualified for actual operation.

"We succeeded! The trial production of the first locomotive was successful!" The craftsmen burst into tears with excitement.

"Yes, we finally did it!" Chu Ze couldn't help but feel proud of them.

Through his full cooperation with the craftsmen and gradual improvements, the first locomotive was finally born, marking that the technological attainments of this era had entered a new stage.

Looking at its thick white smoke and powerful running sound, everyone was filled with a sense of majesty.

The craftsmen gathered in the foundry, waiting for Chu Ze's arrival with joy and anticipation.

They knew that the successful trial production of the first steam locomotive marked the beginning of mankind's journey to a new industrial civilization.

But to realize a real "train", just a locomotive is not enough.

"Everyone, we have gone through untold hardships and finally trial-produced the first steam locomotive. This is our common pride!" Chu Ze strode into the factory with an excited smile on his face.

"Yes, this is an important progress for our country and even all mankind!" the craftsman leader said happily.

"Yes, this is just the first fruit of our hard work. We still have a long way to go." Chu Ze said: "Now, we are going to start designing and manufacturing various carriages, including passenger carriages and cargo carriages. Carriages, which are crucial to improving the railway transportation system.”

"My lord is wise, you are absolutely right!" The craftsmen agreed in unison: "Locomotives alone are not enough. We must design carriages that suit various needs in order to maximize the value of railway transportation."

"So, considering the current limited conditions, how about we start making some simple freight carriages?" Chu Ze suggested.

"A very good idea!" The craftsman leader said in agreement: "The demand for freight is more urgent. With the freight cars, we can use the locomotive to transport more goods."

"I think the freight car can refer to the structure of an ordinary freight carriage, install the wheel axle and frame, and then connect it to the locomotive." A young craftsman proposed his own design idea.

"You are absolutely right." Chu Ze praised: "This is a feasible solution, simple and practical. However, to connect the locomotive and the carriage, we also need an important component - Zhan's coupler."

"Zhan's coupler?" The craftsmen were all confused.

"Yes." Chu Ze picked up the pen and drew a simple diagram for everyone and said: "This is an automatic coupler used by the railway, which can quickly connect and disconnect the locomotive and the carriage." (End of this chapter)
