I was watching short videos and was seen by ancient people

Chapter 278 Necessary for Time Travel—Making a Steam Engine ()

Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan looked at the comments on the sky screen. They did not expect that the original solution to the seal was so simple.

According to their original thinking, they always thought that only the rubber mentioned on the canopy could solve the sealing problem!

However, now the comments on the sky screen made them realize that there is more than one way to solve the sealing of the steam engine.

In their opinion, the use of rubber seals by later generations on the canopy is just that it is more cost-effective for later generations.

There was no rubber in their time, but they did have soft copper, lead pads and animal skins.

So they conducted experiments using the first few materials and found that each of the three materials had their own advantages and disadvantages. The animal fur was the lowest cost, followed by the lead pad, and finally the soft copper.

So they used these three substances to seal according to the various uses of the steam engine.

One steam engine after another was built by them and subsequently used in various aspects.

Since the advent of the steam engine, Shu, Wei and Soochow, which were already competing in various competitions, have entered an incandescent state.

Various technologies on the canopy were used in various aspects one by one, and countless talents began to burst out. Later, various technologies were twinned based on the technologies on the canopy.

Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang saw the comments on the marquee, and then looked at the craftsmen around him.

He felt that these craftsmen were simply stupid people. If they couldn't figure out a simple method, why didn't they think of it?

He felt that the craftsmen who were killed deserved their punishment. If they could think of these methods, they would not be killed by him.

Then he snorted coldly, left the workshop outside Luoyang City, and returned to the palace inside Luoyang City.

The craftsmen looked at Yang Guang leaving, and they broke out in cold sweat.

They were very afraid that Yang Guang's arrival this time would be their talisman.

Fortunately for them, this did not happen, and they could still survive for a while.

After they calmed down, they recalled what was said on the marquee, and then started taking action again.

They don't want to die, and now that the sky has given it to them, how can they not copy their homework?

Then steam engines made of three materials were produced. Based on various experiments, he finally determined which material made the steam engine better.

Then someone sent these three types of steam engines to the palace for Yang Guang to check in person.

After Yang Guang received the steam engine in the palace, he was very pleasantly surprised.

This made him feel even more that those craftsmen must not have worked hard to make steam engines before, otherwise why couldn't they think of simple methods on the sky screen?

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin read the comments on the marquee and was completely pleasantly surprised.

Ever since Tianmu broadcast how to make a steam engine, especially after letting him know the specific function of a steam engine, he has been thinking about this kind of thing.

But compared with various things made before, this steam engine is really too difficult.

Even if he summons the best craftsmen in the country, there are always some problems that cannot be solved.

Especially the sealing problem made the craftsmen go bald.

But now the methods mentioned on the canopy made them realize how simple it was.

So they built a steam engine again and then started testing it.

The results of the experiment made them very satisfied. The steam engine made using Tianmo's method can not only run for a long time, but also, as Tianmo said, can drive various machines. Let Datang, which was originally short of labor, begin to slowly no longer lack labor!

Countless amounts of land were cleared and various crops were planted. Land lacking water sources was also irrigated by waterwheels driven by steam engines.

Song.

Zhao Zhen read the comments on the marquee and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The more he knew about the function of steam engines on the sky screen, the more he hoped that Song Dynasty could have such a machine.

Although he has great confidence in the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty, he still hopes that the Great Sage can possess this kind of machine as soon as possible.

And now the comments on the sky screen have pointed out the direction for them. As long as they use these few materials, they can make a successful steam engine.

And except for the rubber grass, he had all the other materials in Song Dynasty, and even these materials were not uncommon in his Song Dynasty.

Of course, as the national currency, the cost is too high if used.

Zhao Zhen is more optimistic about the lead mats and animal furs. These things have very low cost and can be used on a large scale in the Song Dynasty!

After the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty saw the comments on the marquee, they began to experiment.

They also longed for the steam engine on the canopy.

If they own it, not only can they get a lot of money, but they can also improve their skills again!

Moreover, private merchants have already put the steam engine at a sky-high price. If they make one, they can make back their money, and if they make two, they can live a prosperous life!

tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the comments on the marquee, and then looked at the steam engine that had been made. He asked the craftsmen to experiment with the method mentioned on the marquee.

After a while, four people came over to report the results of the experiment.

Although the method on the canopy is useful, it is still a bit useless compared to the steam engine he made using rubber!

If you use it for a short time, you won't be able to feel the difference. Only after using it for a long time can you feel the difference between rubber sealing and other sealing methods.

This also made Zhu Yuanzhang once again realize the importance of the New World. He thought for a while, called Prince Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, and began to discuss with them how to occupy the New World.

In the Ming Dynasty of another time and space, Zheng He looked at the newly built lucky ship, and he was very happy!

His lucky ship is different from the previous ones. It has dual power. It uses the monsoon winds of the ocean and steam engines to make it possible to reach areas that could have been reached in ten days in just three days!

This made him full of confidence for his next voyage to the West and full of curiosity about the new world.

He wanted to know what kind of surprises he would have next time he went to the New World?

At the end of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youjian looked at the comments on the sky screen. He once again began to copy the homework on the Tianmu.

After taking notes, he began to meet Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing.

Now that Tianmu has given them their answer, Zhu Youjian believes that his two generals will definitely be able to give him a satisfactory answer!

At the same time, Zhu Youjian is also planning to build a railway from Beijing to Liaodong, which will make it more convenient to transport military supplies and soldiers.

After Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing saw the comments on the canopy, they no longer went to those foreign monks, but summoned the craftsmen to discuss how to use the methods on the canopy to make steam engines.

After many experiments, they finally produced a satisfactory steam engine. Finally, they told Zhu Youjian the good news.

After Zhu Youjian heard the news, he was very satisfied and began to reward the craftsmen. Then he discussed building the railway with Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing.

Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing expressed their approval of Zhu Youjian's railway construction, but what worried them was the country's finances.

After all, the Ming Dynasty at this time was really experiencing constant natural and man-made disasters!

After Zhu Youjian heard this, he fell silent, then waved his hand and asked Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing to go back.

Perhaps the success during this period has made him a little distracted, so much so that he has forgotten that the Ming Dynasty is like a raging fire cooking oil. If there is a slight mistake, the building will collapse!
