Perhaps Zhu Yunwen's arrival psychologically inspired the craftsmen in Shanxi. The cylinder, which was originally scheduled to take ten days to build, was completed on the eighth day. Then, the boiler, cylinder, piston and transmission components were connected overnight to prepare for the experiment on the next day. At the same time, the viewing platform prepared for the emperor Zhu Yunwen was also built.

This is the first attempt in human history to apply steam engines to the practical field.

Zhu Yunwen woke up very early on the day of trial, and it was not that he couldn't sleep excitedly. This was just a habit he had been doing for so many years.

Over the past decade, except for a few times when I fell asleep after getting drunk, I often wake up early in other times, especially after quitting drinking, and physiological clocks have become a habit.

Although he is in Shanxi, there are many important memorials sent from Nanjing. Although most of these memorials have been approved by the cabinet, they should be given to him, the emperor, on a routine basis. If there is anything that is not satisfied with, they must be commented and returned to the cabinet.

After having a simple breakfast, he put on a thick velvet cloak outside the leather suit, and Zhu Yunwen walked out of his temporary trip in Taiyuan.

The former King of Jin, which was almost a scenic spot.

Outside the mansion, hundreds of officials of all sizes were guarding each other, and there was not much courteousness. He left Taiyuan City under the guidance of the steam master and headed towards the coal well of Guo Wansan outside the suburbs.

Not far away, just at the foot of Cuijin Mountain, which is dozens of miles away from the city, which is the Luliang area. The mountain chosen by Guo Wansan also has a name called Taiqi Mountain, because there is a Taiqi Temple on the top of it.

The earliest coal well here can be traced back to the Song Dynasty. At that time, the well was more than fifty feet deep and then collapsed. After Guo Wansan took over, he did not dare to shoot too deep and retained about half of the scale.

The richest man in Guo is not just this coal mountain in Shanxi, so there is no need to get involved in a life lawsuit for this little money.

When Zhu Yunwen and his group arrived, Mo Cheng and others had already set up the steam engine, which made Zhu Yunwen stunned.

This is too big.

The steam engine in Zhu Yunwen's impression should not be just the size of a half table, but what he saw in front of him was a huge combination that was comparable to the size of the gantry crane that was responsible for bridge lifting.

“This is a boiler.”

If Mo Cheng didn't introduce it, Zhu Yunwen would have thought it was an oversized dinosaur egg used to hatch Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"The above is a cylinder. After the steam in the cylinder expands and accumulates enough thrust, it will push the piston port to generate force and drive transmission components such as the piston rod. Here is a water jet valve. After the piston moves, it cools the outside of the piston cylinder so that the water vapor condenses, thereby bringing it back to the piston rod and returning to the origin.

At the other end of the piston rod, we connected the principle of a hand-crank water pump, set up a water inlet valve, and connected the pipes into the bottom water tank through each valve port. When water is pumped into the water inlet valve and enters the piston cylinder through the pipe for a new round of heating, thus achieving uninterrupted reciprocating movement until all the accumulated water is evacuated."

Zhu Yunwen didn't understand Mo Cheng's explanation at all, but he didn't feel embarrassed.

"Then let's start."

Not only Zhu Yunwen himself, but also many "miner representatives" who were carefully selected around the mine were also watching. Everyone was curious about how such a huge object could evacuate the accumulated water dozens of meters deep by just burning coal.

No matter how you hear this, it doesn't seem realistic.

Several craftsmen opened the valve of the boiler and started to set up a fire. After burning a small fire kiln, they filled a turret of coal and finally closed the valve.

As time passed, thick smoke came out of the chimney with a scattered flame, and the cylinder on the top of the boiler also began to rumbling. The piston rod connecting the piston boiler shook. Soon everyone saw that the valve in another pipeline under the piston rod suddenly spewed out a large amount of turbid water.

The moment these turbid water sprayed on the piston cylinder, it turned into water vapor, but the continuous spraying still quickly condensed the piston cylinder. Gradually, water no longer sprayed out of the water spray valve.

The piston rod returns to its starting horizontal position.

Another new round of reciprocating movement has begun.

This scene made Huang Fu and other officials stunned the miner representatives.

Standing on the surface of the ground, a person only needs to fill a boiler with coal stones, and he can easily pump out the water buried deep in the coal well tens of feet below?

It's so easy, what do people need to do, what do mules and donkeys need to do.

Think about it before, in order to clean the water from the bottom of the well, everyone carried the water out of their shoulders and carried it out, and it was nothing to be tired, but for a long time, many talents became disabled when they were in their forties.

When I think of the difficulties and obstacles before, some people even began to wipe away tears.

Unlike the officials and miners' aspirations, Zhu Yunwen frowned when he saw it.

“It’s a bit slow.”

As he looked, the sun was quietly noon. Zhu Yunwen saw three reciprocs and commented. Mo Cheng, who was standing in front of him, quickly turned around and bowed: "I am ashamed, I am disappointed in Your Majesty."

After two hours, I walked back and forth three times, the water discharged was only a few large tanks. Based on the accumulated water in the coal well that was not as close to the calf, I was afraid I would have to wait for several days without sleep. Of course, compared to traditional human and animal power, it would be a world of difference.

"I don't mean to blame."

Seeing that Mo Cheng was a little frightened, Zhu Yunwen comforted him and said, "It's hard to start with everything. It's the first time that this steam engine is used in the actual field. We can't be too demanding. In fact, it's enough to be shocked.

In the future, we will make efforts to improve and improve, so that as long as we walk on the right path, both fast and slow can reach the end."

As long as you develop a steam engine, it is undoubtedly correct. Not to mention that the efficiency is already amazing compared to traditional human resources, even if it is not as good as human resources, it is a cross-generational progress.

"It's almost time for lunch, and it's almost time for dinner. Keep the machine here and continue to operate. Let's go back to the city."

All you should see is seen, and witnessed with your own eyes that Mo Cheng did not deceive himself. Zhu Yunwen could have achieved his wish. He stood up with a smile on his face and prepared to leave: "Mo Qing turned around and left the relevant theories and manufacturing methods of the steam engine for Huang Fu. Shanxi can build more, which can be regarded as accumulating experience in the construction process. It is impossible to say that this opportunity for improvement and progress will appear."

Hundreds of people surrounded Zhu Yunwen and agreed. The huge team left the platform where the ceremony was watching, and was about to send the emperor Zhu Yunwen to the carriage. When everyone could return to the city happily to hold a celebration banquet, an inappropriate stern sounded.
Chapter completed!
