- The steam engine was definitely not achieved overnight.
For example, Savery created the first steam engine in 1698, and it was not until 1765 that Watt transformed the steam engine on a large scale.
That¡¯s not all. Over the next twenty-five years, Watt continued to make various improvements before finally forming an industrial steam engine.
Industrial steam engines, the first steam engines were completely two things.
Watt also absorbed the essence of countless ancestors before finally thinking about it and transforming it.
Of course, this guy is also a contradictory person.
When he was desperately trying to invent and transform the steam engine, he was an honest, serious and tenacious young man.
But after he became famous and obtained a large number of steam engine patents, he became the biggest obstacle to all young people who wanted to improve steam engines.
Warriors will eventually turn into dragons, and this story is vividly reflected in Watt.
Of course, Liu Mingqi is not Watt, he is a light, so wrong, he is a light shining on Dakang science.
According to the current scientific development level of Dakang, even in another five hundred years, no one may be able to surpass him, let alone a few decades now.
If there really is someone who surpasses him, Liu Mingqi will definitely kowtow to him a few times - this proves that the other person comes from a more scientific and developed era, and can help the rise of Dakang.
So Liu Mingqi now began to teach theoretical knowledge to these Mohist disciples.
He would not directly tell this group of students that this kind of steam engine would explode due to excessive pressure and too complicated alternation of hot and cold. As long as you separate the cylinder wall and the condenser, which are two different areas, then No more problems at all.
Liu Mingqi would not even tell them what it means to install an insulation layer outside the cylinder, lubricate the piston with oil, planetary gears, parallel motion linkage, centrifugal speed regulator, throttle valve, pressure gaugeetc., the most critical aspects of a steam engine. Improve parts.
The young man could only tell them the various principles of the operation of the steam engine, as well as what functions it needs, how to operate it so that it can function better and other knowledge.
This time it¡¯s just rough.
In the next few months, Liu Mingqi will continue to teach them.
For Liu Mingqi, only by teaching them can he feel a little bit like teaching students in modern times.
This feeling is pretty good.
If things go well, I believe a formal steam engine will be built within three years.
¡°If the internal combustion engine can be developed within ten years after this, then these people will be too awesome.
¡°If they can make a steam turbine in another twenty years, then Dakang will be invincible!
It¡¯s just that I want to think about it, but when it comes to actually doing it, it¡¯s better to be down-to-earth.
If you want to complete the journey that others have taken for two to three hundred years in twenty or thirty years, in addition to chasing after you desperately, you also need some luck.
¡¡
It will take a long time for the steam engine to be built.
But it won¡¯t take much time to make the cannon.
After all, the craftsmanship of the cannon is relatively simple. In the early stage, there is no need to carve rifling. As long as the problems of not exploding the chamber and gunpowder are solved, most of the problems are solved.
For example, when Liu Mingqi went to the cannon workshop, he saw three cannons.
The shape and style of these cannons are similar to the cannons Liu Mingqi saw in the 17th and 18th centuries, which are front-loading smoothbore cannons.
Now is not the time for the breech-loading cannon to show its power.
Breech loading became popular only after the invention of the metal screw breech block, cartridges and rifling.
The first two conditions are easy to say, but now Liu Mingqi does not have a machine tool and cannot carve rifling in all barrels, so the front-loading smoothbore gun is more useful.
Anyway, in the 1850s, the era of the Opium War, this kind of front-loading smoothbore gun was still being used on a large scale.
And now the power of the cannon can also depend on the power of your cannonballs.
Solid bullets, shotguns, blooming bulletsetc., Liu Mingqi can do a lot of tricks with these shells!
Ding Zhuo, director of the steel factory and director of the artillery workshop, was standing next to Liu Mingqi.
When he saw Liu Mingqi touching the cannon bodies, he said with some pride: "Your Highness, these cannons are made of pure wrought iron. In addition to their integrated structure, the more important thing is the cannon walls. There are no small bubbles at all, the sealing is good, and the quality is absolutely excellent!¡±
&nb?It can be mass-produced. "Ding Zhuo said: "We have molds here, and the production standards are specified according to your regulations. It needs to be built very quickly.
With sufficient materials, ten 15 cm caliber short cannons can be cast in a month at most. The larger size will take longer, and if you allocate more people, the speed will be faster. "
"Um¡¡"
Liu Mingqi pondered for a moment.
Next month Miao Yan will deliver the first batch of four-masted sailboats to Chen Xiaowei and her uncle.
It¡¯s too late to pull the cannon onto the ship now.
"Only until the next batch of four-masted sailing ships start trial sea trials can they pull it over, try to equip and fire guns.
As for land, there seems to be no place to use it now.
How about first trying to install urban defense artillery in places like Jiayuguan and Tongde Mansion in the northwest?
"It's a pity that it still doesn't meet the technical standards for making mortars."
¡°Otherwise, it would be smoother if Liu Mingjing and the others were to attack Nanzhao with small mortars.
Thinking about it this way, this kind of portable mortar should also be included in the design and manufacturing schedule!
After all, the geographical environment of Piao State, Luo State and other places after Nanzhao was even worse than that of Nanzhao.
If the special team has mortars, then even a centurion team can still face tens of thousands of natives!
Do not laugh!
When the Europeans set sail to conquer the indigenous people in the Middle Ages, they basically only had one or two hundred people.
Back then, the Netherlands wanted to conquer the Ming Dynasty with an army of 300 people!
