An unprecedented patent meeting lasted until late at night.
When the meeting ended, everyone sent their most sincere thanks to the Zhang family.
The proposal of the patent promoted the exchange of technology and promoted the progress within the Black Iron Guild.
Zhang Hao¡¯s abandonment of patents has laid a broad space for the new patent system.
For most of the next day, everyone took to the stage to conduct technical exchanges; then among the many technical exchangers, everyone jointly selected the sixth senior executive of the Black Iron Guild:
The head of the patent department of the Black Iron Guild, Feng Tai, is from the Feng family.
On the day the Patent Department was established, more than two hundred patents were registered and the first patent law was also enacted. Of course, the current scope of patent implementation is limited to the Black Iron Guild.
Surrounded by everyone, Zhang Hao and Zhang Shengde got on the carriage and returned to Zhang Mansion.
Along the way, Zhang Hao looked at the patent list in his hand and smiled lightly.
There are many patents in this patent that are shared by more than two families.
There are also many patented technologies that conflict with each other.
Of course, there are also some patented technologies that are already lagging behind just after registration, and there are many of them.
All this shows that within the Black Iron Guild, a technical competition has begun.
Good patented technology is priced as high as 100 black iron coins; while poor technology is priced at only 0.5 black iron coins.
Everyone swears to keep it secret first, and then claims the patented technology. The patent fee will be paid at the beginning of each month in the second month after Xuantie is sold.
For the patent fee, Xuantie Guild takes one-tenth as handling fees, etc.; the remaining 90% is returned to the family to which the patent belongs, or the patent owner.
"In another ten or twenty days, after everyone has integrated new technologies, the Xuantie Market in Ninghe County will be even more interesting! The advancement of technology will definitely trigger changes in the Xuantie Market again!" Zhang Hao muttered to himself.
Zhang Shengde smiled and said nothing.
¡¡¡¡
Early the next morning, when Liu Xian and others entered the gate of Xuantie Guild, they were surprised to find:
All stores have ¡°clearance¡± signs; and the larger the purchase volume, the greater the discount.
What happened?
Liu Xian found a few acquaintances to ask, but everyone smiled and said nothing.
But seeing the bright smiles on everyone¡¯s faces, Liu Xian had more questions.
It wasn¡¯t until the afternoon that the ¡®patent¡¯ matter spread.
Technology cannot be made public, but the matter of ¡®patent¡¯ can be made public. The guild even carved the world's first patent law on the wall, and there was an endless stream of people who came to read it.
¡¡¡¡
When the turmoil in the Black Iron Guild was raging, Zhang Hao had returned to the family's smelting base, and a brand new change had begun within the Zhang family.
At this time, what was displayed in front of Zhang Shengde was a complete 'steam turbine'.
It¡¯s really a steam turbine that uses geothermal heat to heat water vapor to drive it.
Zhang Hao also looked at the steam turbine in front of him with some excitement in his eyes.
In Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes, this machine is still crude; but it is undeniable that it already has the charm of technology.
Because of technical limitations, there are currently two major technical difficulties in steam turbines that cannot be solved.
One is the bearing problem. Regarding the bearing issue, there are no ball bearings for the time being, so we can only use the tool refining method to temporarily refine a few pairs of particularly hard slip rings, which can be regarded as temporary applications.
The second one is that the water supply-steam system of the steam turbine in front of us is an open circuit, not a closed circuit. In this way, steam pressure, efficiency, etc. will be very low.
Its water supply and steam systems are also very crude. A water tank is placed at a height of more than ten meters, and water is pumped through several array-type water pumps.
Then, under the action of gravity, the water follows the pipeline and enters the "heater" above the ground fire. This is a dozen bent and juxtaposed tubes, where the water turns into high-pressure steam.
As Zhang Hao personally opened the valve of the steam channel, crazy water vapor rushed through the turbine blades, bringing a roar; because the steam pipeline was an open circuit design, the noise was extremely loud.
The steam rushed through the turbine crazily, and finally extended along the crude pipe to the outside of the Zhang family's boundary, and was directly discharged.
The steam turbine began to rotate slowly; gradually, there was a roar.
There is a roaring sound because?The rotor is unbalanced.
There is no other way. This machine is all hand-made. It is very valuable to be able to barely spin it. Just this, almost all the weapon refiners of the Zhang family were used.
Driven by the steam turbine, the heavy millstone began to rotate and accelerate.
In order to increase the speed, several craftsmen came up to help push it.
After about a minute, the millstone started to spin. In the past, this was the heaviest job, especially because of the expansion of the Zhang family's production, the craftsmen in charge of the millstones were exhausted.
Now it has been replaced by machinery.
The craftsmen looked at the automatically rotating millstone with joy and cheered heartily.
Zhang Shengde and Zhang Shengye also opened their mouths slightly in disbelief.
In the past, it took several craftsmen and even cattle and horses to drive this huge millstone; now, except for the two low-level spiritual stones used in the pumping machine, no other power is used - earth fire. They were selectively ignored.
The steam turbine drives a huge metal round wheel (connecting rod wheel) that is as big as the grinding plate; a vertical shaft is vertically erected on the outer edge of the wheel, and a connecting rod is connected to the shaft; the connecting rod is then connected to the vertical shaft on the grinding plate .
As the turbine continues to accelerate, the speed of the grinding disc also increases.
"Pour the ore!" Huang Mingshan yelled.
Carloads of ore are poured into the millstone; the millstone barely slows down, and the ore is crushed quickly, like fine sand.
This efficiency is almost dozens of times that of the past!
Even bigger cheers broke out.
The machine rotates rapidly and the roaring sound is so beautiful.
Huang Mingshan and others were intoxicated, as were Zhang Shengde and Zhang Shengye. Zhang Hao was even more intoxicated.
After a while, Zhang Hao took a deep breath to calm down. ¡°What problem should we start solving next?
Well, it¡¯s a bearing!
But to produce bearings, machine tools are needed. "
The research and development and production of bearings require the assistance of machine tools.
Although bearings may seem ordinary, they are the pearl technology of the early industrial stage. Their processing technology and processing accuracy far exceed those of ordinary parts.
Because of the bearings, the reliability and efficiency of the machine can be guaranteed! Moreover, the technology of processing bearings is not simple at all and requires considerable experience and technical accumulation.
While everyone was still intoxicated by the rapidly rotating machine, Zhang Hao was already thinking about future plans.
The most critical step in industrialization is the birth of machine tools.
With machine tools, there will be ¡®machine production machines¡¯.
Now that we have the mechanical prime mover, it¡¯s time to start researching machine tools.
Next to him, Zhang Shengye suddenly shouted: "Little mouse, produce a few more units of this machine!"
Zhang Hao immediately called Huang Mingshan: "Huang Mingshan, give the drawings to Bai Xiaodong and others, and let them build it according to the drawings."
"Okay!" Huang Mingshan dragged Bai Xiaodong, turned around and ran back to the classroom - well, it should be called the research laboratory from now on.
