Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 1238 Steam Engine Improvement Suggestions

Qu Mao has always been a vigorous person, especially in the two fields of technological innovation and industrial development in the Yigong territory, so he continued to wait patiently for an hour, and saw that the steam engine finally drove slowly about 10 meters away and came to The side of the wall where the rails extend from.

Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng pulled up the wall on that side early on. It turned out that the wall on that side was a door that opened upwards.

Qu Mao pulled up a chair and sat down. He glanced helplessly at the locomotive where the neat engine prototype was. Turn off the steam engine.

Come down, let's discuss the improvement direction of the steam engine prototype. It is so grinding that it will be dark today, and we will not be able to run the 200-meter railroad track. "

Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng were a little at a loss as they looked at the boiler that was gradually heating up. They had no choice but to pull up an iron door to close the boiler, regardless of the fact that the locomotive where the prototype steam engine was located was still slowly sliding outwards. The railroad track used for the experiment is 200 meters long, and the distance traveled by the locomotive is less than 20 meters. When the locomotive travels to the end of the railroad track, I am afraid that as Qu Mao said, it will have to wait until night.

Especially after Bi Sheng closed the boiler door with an iron sheet, the firepower may gradually go out, and the neat engine prototype will gradually lose its power source.

Kong Ming also put the goose feather fan on the belt on his back, and brought a table to Qu Mao.

Qu Mao had already taken out a lot of paper and pens, and placed them on the table that Kong Ming brought over.

Now Qu Mao always keeps pens, notebooks and blank paper in his backpack, and the blank paper is used to give temporary suggestions for technological innovation and industrial development.

Qu Mao took out a blank piece of paper and said while drawing: "Kong Ming, Bi Sheng, Yan Qisheng, first of all, this locomotive is too large. I took a look at the rails. The distance between the two rails is 2 meters wide. What is it.

Look at the specifications of the current neat engine prototype. A few places are beyond the edge of the locomotive. Visual inspection: the width is 6 meters, the length is 8 meters, and the height is 5 meters. This is not counting the chimney and the air outlet. It is too huge up!

Kongming, I have to remind you: it is best for the rails to comply with the specifications of the coal car, and the distance between the two rails is 1 meter.

The locomotives, passenger carriages, and freight carriages of future steam trains must be designed according to this standard. The height of the wheels is 80 centimeters, and the distance between the wheels is determined according to the width of the rails.

The locomotives and carriages have 1 meter left and right wheels, and the length can be extended. It is nothing more than straightening the railway in the future. 8 meters is fine, even 10 meters does not matter, you can do it as you see fit.

The height of the carriage and the locomotive should not exceed 3 meters. Of course, this is the height without wheels...

The Shuifu Railway, as well as all future railways in Yigong Territory, will be constructed according to this standard: the distance between the rails is 1 meter, and the distance between sleepers is half a meter...

Kong Ming, you are responsible for detailing this standard, and then handing it over to the engineering team undertaking the construction of the Shuifu Railway, and subsequent engineering teams must strictly follow this standard when repairing the railway..."

While Qu Mao was talking, he began to draw on the white paper. Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng had already taken out their pens and notebooks, and began to record frantically.

Kong Ming, on the other hand, stared at Qu Mao's pen nib drawing on the paper seriously, instead of giving his own suggestions.

Qu Mao continued: "Let me emphasize again that the height of the carriage should not exceed 3 meters, and the height of the wheels is 80 centimeters, so the chimney of the locomotive should not exceed 3.8 meters.

The air outlet is improved, and a rubber water pipe is used to make a return flow setting to allow the steam to circulate back to continue heating, otherwise the steam train will have to refill the boiler after a short period of time..."

Bi Sheng said: "My lord, your strict regulations mean that before we improve the performance of the steam engine, we must first make the steam engine operate within the specifications you stipulated..."

Qu Mao waved his hand to stop Bi Sheng, and said, "No, this is two in one.

In the steam engine principle machine in another laboratory before, we used iron pipes, so the specifications are so large.

Now I took a look at the neat engine prototype you made. The application of rubber is mainly in the sealing of steam. In fact, it is possible to make hoses with rubber, coil the hoses together, and put cooling materials on the periphery. Only steam The circulation system can save a lot of space.

In addition, the shape of this teapot is really not very good-looking, you can find a way to change the appearance...

The boiler and steam boiler should be placed in the middle of the locomotive, so that the balance is better..."

Kong Ming nodded frequently. Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng frantically recorded Qu Mao’s few words while collecting the blank paper that Qu Mao had finished drawing. Many times said back to the same thing.

Although Qu Mao is also a layman, after all, he has seen a primitive steam engine in a museum in another world, so this kind of vision of seeing the real thing is beyond the reach of Kong Ming, Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng.

The four of them stayed in the laboratory, discussing non-stop. Fortunately, the locomotive where the neat engine prototype was located, barely stopped after the car body drove out of the laboratory, and did not drive to the end of the test rail.

For lunch and dinner, the four of them notified the logistics staff of the Outlying Island Power Research Institute to send them to the laboratory for food. The four of them discussed until 6 p.m., and Qu Mao drew more than 20 improvement schematic papers without stopping. Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng felt like they had found a treasure.

Qu Mao thought about it carefully. It seems that after discussing it all afternoon, he only thoroughly clarified the specifications of the rails, locomotives, and carriages. Other suggestions for improvement are basically insignificant, such as using rubber hoses instead of iron hoses. Tubes, etc., although the application of new materials, but the purpose is only to reduce the size of the locomotive.

Rubbing his sour fingers, Qu Mao said, "Okay, let's come here first, and I'll find a way to invite all the scientific researchers from our Holy Land to discuss it together.

I think that if the steam engine can be reduced to a size of one meter square, then iron-clad ships and steel chariots can be used, and the steam engine can contribute greater value to the development of Yigong territory. "

Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng glanced at each other, neither of them dared to answer.

Qu Mao then left the Outlying Island Power Research Institute and returned to the lord's cottage on Yidao. Since he married Su Yan, he didn't sleep with Su Yan at night, and Qu Mao felt uncomfortable all over.
