The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 280 Industrial Revolution, the principle of the steam engine! Patriarch Lu Ban was dumbfounded: Do you call this boiling water?
In another time and space, the Yongle period.

Xie Jin, who was responsible for compiling the Yongle Grand Ceremony, silently narrowed his eyes at this moment.

He didn't know the meaning of boiling water, but he knew very well that this must be a new understanding of civilization for future generations.

Naturally, "Yongle Dadian" cannot miss this kind of thing!
Regardless of whether it is true or false, Xie Jin is ready to record everything on the canopy in the book.

at the same time.

Under the vast sky, countless people are focusing their attention on the three characters "steam engine".

Without him, these three big characters that suddenly appeared seemed to have some kind of magic power.

At this moment, the scene changed again!

……

[Someone discovered that the steam engine of the first industrial revolution could boil water! 】

[Thermal power generation in the second industrial revolution, boiling water! 】

[The application of atomic energy in the third industrial revolution, also called the scientific and technological revolution, is still "boiling water". And did you know that nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are high-tech, and how they get their power is still inseparable from "boiling water." 】

[From the perspective of converting energy into kinetic energy and electrical energy, such "boiling water" has indeed promoted human history and technological progress. 】

[It’s okay as a joke and interesting comment to popularize popular science, but is the statement about the key points of energy accurate? 】

[The first law of thermodynamics tells us: Energy will neither be created out of thin air nor disappear out of thin air. It will only be converted from one form to another form, or transferred from one object to other objects, while the total amount of energy remains constant. 】

[The energy we use now, whether it is firewood in ancient times, electricity, oil or coal today, or even clean energy such as water energy, wind energy, tidal energy, etc., all trace back to the sun. 】

[Simply put, we can only transfer and transform energy, we cannot create or destroy energy. "Boiling water" is only a way to convert energy, but before "boiling water", the key is to discover and utilize energy and high technology.

【Yes! In terms of focus, the most critical ones are energy and high technology. 】

"The popular science saying is actually quite easy to understand. Boiling water is the only true god of energy conversion!" 》

"As a trivia fact, the energy utilization efficiency of steam engines is actually very low, but it is still an extremely "advanced" way of utilizing energy! 》

"That's true. Look, doesn't nuclear energy also use the principle of boiling water to generate electricity? 》

"Although steam machinery is rare nowadays, there are many places where the principle of steam power is used! 》

"The internal combustion engine can also be seen as the evolution of the steam engine! 》

"The development of modern science is indeed inseparable from the so-called boiling water. As for throwing stones, this thing requires too much attention! 》

Wan Chao's audience was confused after hearing the good news. They finally understood what a "steam engine" was.

However, there is still no clear explanation on the marquee as to why “boil water” is required?
What is the use of boiling water?

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Lu Ban, the founder of carpentry, accurately captured a blurry drawing from the flashing picture on the sky.

Is this a steam engine?

Because the sky screen switched so quickly, Luban only took a quick glance and had no time to check the principle.

But even such a glance made Lu Ban feel endless shock in his heart.

That intricate shape seems to have something to do with the mechanism technique he studies...

No, no, those structures are far more sophisticated and ingenious than the mechanisms!
"What on earth is this?" Lu Ban couldn't help but question, but the answer was that the sky screen continued to flow as usual!
Big man.

Emperor Wu Liu Che could no longer bear it at this moment.

The "steam engine" on the canopy has attracted all his curiosity, and now it has whetted his appetite.

Not to mention the so-called "internal combustion engine" and "nuclear power" in later generations!
He knew every word, but when they were put together, Liu Che was completely confused.

Is this trying to be mysterious?

Qing.

The Westernization faction headed by Li Hongzhang now saw a new way out.

Industrial Revolution?

Isn't this thing just something done by foreigners?
The British country in the West only rose because of an industrial revolution, and what everyone wants to do is to follow the footsteps of the Westerners and initiate a Westernization reform.

The so-called "learn from the barbarians and develop skills to control the barbarians" is nothing more than this!

Although this proposal has been rejected, everyone will not give up so easily.

At this moment, the picture displayed on the sky screen undoubtedly made everyone more excited.

Isn't this the best opportunity?

Even if His Majesty the current emperor does not allow the so-called reform, as long as Tianmu can figure out the true meaning, there is still a chance for everything!

……

[Let’s take a look at the structural principles of the steam engine. After reading this, you will surely understand why boiling water is the source of the development of human civilization! 】

[Steam engine is a heat engine that uses steam to expand in the cylinder and push the piston to reciprocate to produce work. It is a piston-type external combustion engine using water vapor as the working fluid. 】

[The emergence of the steam engine caused the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century. Until the beginning of the 20th century, the steam engine was still the most important prime mover in the world, and then gradually gave way to internal combustion engines and steam turbines. 】

[When a steam engine works, it needs a boiler that boils water to produce high-pressure steam. Through the combustion process, water boils into steam, and the steam expands to push the piston to do work. 】

[In 1679, French physicist Denis Papen built the first working model of a steam engine after observing steam escaping his pressure cooker.

[In 1712, Newcomen in England invented the first piston steam engine; in 1765, Watt improved Newcomen's steam engine, reducing its fuel cost by about 75%. 】

[From 1765 to 1790, Watt made a series of inventions and improvements, such as a separate condenser and an insulation layer outside the cylinder... which increased the efficiency of the steam engine to more than three times that of the original Newcomen engine, and finally invented the industrial steam engine. steam engine. 】

[In 1807, Robert Fulton was the first to successfully use a steam engine to drive a ship...]

Under the vast sky, countless people were shocked by the sudden explanation of the principle of the steam engine.

Countless kings were prepared and immediately ordered their civil servants to record it!
And the countless people under the sky were even more shocked at this moment.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Lu Ban was shocked by the content on the sky screen.

The sky is the scene of future generations, he knows!
The sky will reveal a powerful scene in the future, and he also knows it!

He has been paying attention to the canopy since it appeared, and has impressions of many scenes of the canopy's evolution.

But who would have thought that Tianmu would suddenly give such a big surprise?
Steam engine?
It turns out that this is what later generations called the Industrial Revolution!

However, what do people in later generations think? Do you call this boiling water?
