Chapter 100 Excellent Flour

Frederick walked around the steam engine twice, and found that it was better than he expected, and the most worrying problem of cylinder leakage was not beyond the acceptable range.

He suddenly remembered a question, turned around and asked Schmidt who was following him: "How do you plan to clean the scale in the boiler?"

Schmidt immediately replied: "The acid extracted from the acid liquid slime, after it is diluted to a certain extent, it has little corrosion on the metal, and it can still remove the scale."

Then he pointed to a pipe under the boiler and said: "This is the drain, and the scale that has been cleaned can be discharged."

"I have a suggestion, take it apart and check it every three months."

Frederick nodded in satisfaction, and asked again: "Have you passed the power test?"

"The test has been done." Schmidt said, pointing to the mountain in the distance, "We did the test on the edge of a cliff. We used 1 ordinary adult pack horses to do the experiment of pulling heavy objects for [-] minute. A thousand sets of data, and finally calculate the average number."

"Then we did the same experiment with a steam engine and finally got the data."

"At present, the steam engine has 20 times the horsepower under normal working conditions, and can reach 25 times the horsepower at the maximum working pressure."

Frederick said with satisfaction: "Very good, well done. When advertising in the future, we will publicize according to the horsepower multiple."

At this time, the machinery near the steam engine has been installed.

First of all, four vertical steel mills are installed on the elevated frame. The main components are cast iron, and there are two steel grinding discs inside. The distance between the fixed grinding disc and the rotating grinding disc can be adjusted by the screw.

Then there are four vibrating screens under the shelf, and their screens are all made of steel wire.

Hot-drawing metal with molds is nothing new. It has long been used in the manufacture of gold and silver jewelry. After the magic reciprocating machine came out, it was naturally used to draw iron and steel wires.

The steam engine temporarily stops to supply air to the cylinder, and the flywheel is connected with a belt to a long steel shaft on a special shelf on the ground. The steel mill and the vibrating screen get power from the steel shaft through the belt.

Everything was ready, the steam engine started, and the machines it drove also started to run.

Someone kept pouring cleaned wheat into the material inlet of the first steel mill. After a while, bran and broken wheat grains could be seen coming out of the material outlet and entering the vibrating sieve through a large transparent rubber hose. Sift to remove bran.

The sieved broken wheat is manually moved to the next steel mill to continue grinding.

After one set, the fine and clean legendary flour appeared in front of Frederick.

"This is the best flour in the world." Schmidt proudly said to Frederick, "It takes 100 kilograms of wheat to grind 70 kilograms."

Frederick nodded with great satisfaction. The king had never eaten such good flour. Like himself, he usually ate fine flour with a flour yield of 80%. Only epic flour with a flour yield of 75% was used for major banquets. Most of the products sold on the market are excellent flour with 85% flour extraction rate, ordinary flour with 90% flour extraction rate and coarse flour with bran.

Schmidt's little thoughts could not be hidden from Frederick.

The water mills in Wessenland belonged to Frederick and the vassals' families, and now the flour came out and declared the death sentence of the water mills.

Frederick asked someone to inform Ah Fu to come over tomorrow, planning to open a large flour mill, and then share the fruits with everyone.

He asked Schmidt again: "Where will this machine be tested next?"

Knowing that his sales pitch worked, Schmidt happily replied: "We are going to send the bellows to the smelter to drive the boiler."

Frederick nodded, but using a steam engine to pull the bellows was a bit overkill, so he said, "Bring paper and pen."

In the past, the speed provided by the magic reciprocating machine was not enough, but now the speed of the steam engine is enough, and better gas supply equipment can be used.

The centrifugal blower is not a problem for him. In his previous life, he used this for the briquette stove at home when he was a child, and it was dismantled many times.

By the way, centrifugal water pumps can also be produced. He has installed water pumps on construction sites in his previous life, and he is quite familiar with them.

The biggest difference between the two is that the blades inside are different, but he only remembers that the blades of the blower can be straight, the blades of the water pump are all curved, and the size of the volute and the shaft seal need many people to do it slowly Experiment and research.

These two devices are not complicated to make, and it is no problem to use cast iron except for the bearing and the main shaft.

So his prestige in Weissenburg University was higher.

Seeing that Frederick was very happy, Schmidt said, "Principal, there is something I need to trouble you for."

"What's the matter?" Frederick was thinking about the feed next to a vibrating sieve, "Is there a girl you like who is embarrassed to say, and wants me to arrange a chance for you to be a hero?"

Schmidt asked in surprise: "Can this be done?"

But he immediately got back to business: "It's like this. Buderus has a plan for building a factory and wants to seek investment."

Although Frederick didn't know who Buderus was, he still said, "Then let him bring it."

Schmidt beckoned to the crowd, and immediately a young man came over with a plan in his hand and presented it.

Friedrich turned over and produced a system that uses low-pressure boilers to provide steam to multiple high-pressure steamers to cook a large amount of food. It is suitable for kitchens and restaurants in densely populated areas such as schools, troops, ports, and factories.

Buderus gave Schmidt a wink, and Schmidt immediately said to Frederick: "Principal, I think the system in Buderus is pretty good, and it can be used in our university cafeteria."

Frederick didn't respond, and the expression on his face didn't change.

Buderus was a little anxious, and quickly winked at the crowd, and then BASF also came over.

"Principal," BASF said with a smile, "Buderus's system is quite good. It can replace our pressure cooker for slime production by strengthening it. It is much more convenient to directly pass steam than fire."

Frederick still didn't respond, but calmly closed the plan and said lightly, "I see."

Buderus's heart skipped a beat, thinking it was over.

With BASF and Schmidt and others making a fortune, and recently everyone knows that the principal is rich, so many people have submitted their proposals to the principal to obtain a start-up loan.

But these proposals are like mud clods thrown into a lake and disappear without a trace.

Frederick grabbed a handful of legendary flour, and for a while, he released a small tornado in his hand to suck the flour in, then threw it into the air, and when the flour dissipated into a cloud of white smoke, he threw a small fireball over , A ball of fire exploded in an instant.

The people present were taken aback, and Frederick said to them, "I'm going back first."

Ogilvy followed him into the carriage, and after a few words, he asked, "Principal, why have you tightened up your investment recently?"

Frederick turned his head and looked at the sparkling river outside the car window, and said calmly: "Money has value only if it flows like water, but where the water flows is particular, and it cannot become a pool of stagnant water and finally dry up. "

"I said that I want to open a bank. When the banker comes to me and agrees to work for me, I will let him review these proposals, and he will be responsible for the loan."

Ogilvy breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

Frederick asked him: "Why, you also want to find investment?"

"That's right." Ogilvy said proudly, "One of the good things you once said has come to fruition!"
