Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 423 Steam Engine Research Begins

The next day, Ding Yi woke up to exercise, and saw Wu Mei bouncing off to college with the small schoolbag made by Yuniang on her back.

That way always made Ding Yi feel like he was "tricking himself into having a daughter"!

As soon as he sat down and finished his meal, he saw Li Tai running to the restaurant disheveled.

"Ding Yi, let's go!" Li Tai grabbed Ding Yi and pulled him outside.

"..."

Ding Yi said: "Eat first, there is no rush!"

Li Tai had no choice but to sit down, picked up the peeled egg and stuffed it in one bite!

Seeing his anxious look, Ding Yi also knew that he was anxious to heal Empress Changsun.

Last night, Ding Yi had already changed the necessary items, and came to the research institute with Li Tai after dinner!
The Yinhe Research Institute has long been different from the past. Thinking about it, there were only three or two kittens at the beginning, and there were not even buildings, only a few temporary work sheds.

It was in such an environment that cross-age machinery such as rotary tillers appeared in Datang.

It's different now!

The research institute has a laboratory building, a smelting room, and an office building.

There are also several large workshop-style buildings at the back, which are used to study some large objects.

And the number of craftsmen in the research institute has also increased a lot. Some of them were the original ones, some were transferred from the machinery factory, some came to study from the Ministry of Industry, and some were collected by Xiao Qing and the others from Datang this year.

When he came to a large empty workshop, Liu Hu had already informed the research institute.

After a while, those people came to the workshop in groups of three and four. Some original craftsmen saw Ding Yi and hurriedly organized everyone to line up!
Ding Yiyi's research institute only knew the first few craftsmen, and had never seen those who came later.

Simply say a few words, let the old grandson who was in the Pegasus bicycle factory arrange for the person who participated in the production of the rotary tiller harvester to stay, and some craftsmen who went to the college to learn physics by themselves!
These craftsmen are not simple now. Although Ding Yi has never been in charge of the research institute, Li Tai is very concerned about it.

These craftsmen are now not only literate, but also more or less discussed physics with the students of the college to make machinery.

The laboratory building of the research institute is mainly used for the students of the institute to participate in experiments, and the craftsmen are the same.

Keep these people, and let Lao Sun choose a few clever ones to follow him to do another later, and everyone else will go to their business!

Now the jenny loom and shuttle loom are in the final stage and will be put into use soon.

And the wool that was made before is now about to be made into wool!

In this, Li Tai's supervision and the assistance of the college students are indispensable, of course, the three hundred students before.

Bringing the remaining people into the workshop, Ding Yi took out the blueprint of the steam engine, as well as the experimental notes of Dennis Papen, Thomas Savelli, Robert Fulton, Watt, Fossari and others.

"King Yue, I will leave these people to you! And this steam engine, I want the research institute to make it within half a year! If you need any help, just ask me!" Liu Hu distributed notes to the craftsmen, while Ding Yi was explaining to Li Ty something.

Li Tai wondered: "What does this steam engine have to do with treating my mother?"

"This is not something to treat your empress, this steam engine is something that can be widely used to replace manpower and material resources! As for the thing to treat your empress, I will bring people to do it!"

Li Tai looked down at the note in his hand, and replied, "Ding Yi, please!"

Seeing Li Tai's sincere appearance, Ding Yi was satisfied. After all, he was still a child, and he was very concerned about his mother's health.

"Don't worry, you can go to the college to mobilize those three hundred students to participate. I believe that with them, your progress will be faster!" Although the three hundred students still need to study, participating in this work is better than them studying hard. Much better!
"You don't need to say that I will do it, the research institute cannot do without the assistance of those students!" Li Tai nodded.

Patting Li Tai on the shoulder, Ding Yi left with the people he had selected before!

Li Tai looked at Ding Yiyuan's back, and thought in his heart, leave this place to me, and leave the matter of my mother to you, I hope you don't let me down!

"Clap clap clap!"

Withdrawing his thoughts, Li Tai looked at the dozens of craftsmen in front of him and said, "Ding Yi needs us to make this steam engine within half a year! Do you have confidence!"

The craftsmen said in unison: Yes!

"it is good!"

Li Taidao: "Old Sun, go to the academy and invite those students to come over and let them study together."

Although the craftsmen are also literate, they do not know as much as those students after all, and cooperation is the kingly way.

"Next, you start to get familiar with the principle of this steam engine and the production process, and try to make a model within one month!" Li Tai is already familiar with such things.

After explaining the matter, Li Tai returned to his office and began to study the steam engine!
Steam engine?
Use steam to drive mechanical movement, so as to achieve the effect of human or animal power!

steam?

Li Tai was dumbfounded!

Is it the steam from the kettle?

What power can that thing have to move the machinery?
After roughly reading the principle, Li Tai finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart.

Organize a few students and come to the lab together!

The laboratory now has glass flasks, etc., but this steam engine requires that it be made of steel!
A student came to the laboratory with a kettle, and everyone started this ridiculous experiment!

Although it is absurd, they have done many similar experiments before.

But this time it really broke through their cognition. Is the steam in the kettle really that powerful?

The kettle is not big, the same size as a teapot, and it's in the cafeteria of the institute.

"King Yue, this fire is too small!" A student looked at the dim flame of the alcohol lamp and reminded.

"Go to the cafeteria!" Li Tai waved his hand, and the students cheered and followed Li Tai to the cafeteria!

At this time, the cafeteria was already preparing lunch. When I saw the deputy dean rushing with a group of students, I thought they were hungry.

"Get out a stove!" Li Tai ordered.

The cook was stunned, but was taken aback by Li Tai's eyes, and hurriedly made room for a stove for them.

Everyone filled the kettle with water, put it on the stove, and began to watch.

The fire of the stove was very big, and the water boiled within a few minutes!
Water vapor gushed from the spout, and the lid of the pot was lifted by the water vapor inside the pot, but it could only rise about one centimeter.

"King Yue, it seems useless!" A student said with puzzled eyes.

Of course Li Tai also found out, but he just believed that Ding Yi would not talk nonsense, since he could produce the blueprint, it meant that this thing must be made.

Now, just can't find a way!

Recalling the manufacturing process of the steam engine, Li Tai said: "Find something to plug the spout!"

Immediately, a student brought a rag and plugged the spout!

As soon as it was plugged, I saw the lid of the pot "bang", and it was blown away!

"???"

"Cover it!" Li Tai ordered.

"Oh!"

Fly again!
"Keep covering!"
