Take the mall to Datang

In the bicycle race, even Yunfeng, a master, is used. This prodigal prince really knows how to play. Yuan Shan immediately agreed, isn't it just mountain bikes?

"His Royal Highness, as the saying goes, out of ten bets, nine losers. It's not a casual talk. Lu Da should pay more attention." Yuan Shan reminded.

But Li Chengqian really doesn't care. Now that he is the prince, who dares to provoke him? In his heart, he just thinks that Lu Da doesn't know that he is the prince. The game may be to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

"Go back, I will send the bicycle to you in three days." Yuan Shan said casually.

"Yuan Shan, why don't you go with us too." Li Chengqian said.

"I won't go. You also know that I just came back and I have to rest for a few days." Yuan Shan declined.

"His Royal Highness, it's getting late, let's go back first, and let Yunfeng learn to ride a bicycle early." Du He reminded.

When Yuan Shan heard it, the two boys are really a wonderful combination, and he felt sorry for Yunfeng in his heart, don't let these two boys make a fool of him.

Du He was very complicated, so Li Chengqian asked him to go back to the carriage and wait before asking: "You should pay more attention to the corn matter. Our corn project before the year will definitely make my father happy."

After sending Li Chengqian away, Yuan Shan went to the workshop to check the bearing production. As soon as he entered the workshop, he saw Li Dejian and Li Deju testing various transmission gears. These two people are quite talented in this area. They have been fascinated by the application of gears since the beginning of bicycles. They haven't come to the workshop for more than a month. At this time, the Yuanjia Workshop has undergone great changes, and there are strange things everywhere.

The automatic door with gears can be opened by simply moving the lever without pushing it by hand. As soon as I walked in, I saw De Jiande awarding the gear on the workbench, and he didn't even know he came in.

"Master, you are here." Blacksmith Lu put down his work and came over.

"How's it going?" Yuan Shan asked.

"Twenty pulley bearings can be made every day now," Lu Tiejiang said.

Yuan Shan glanced around, and now there are more than 30 craftsmen working in this craftsman. Unknowingly, his craftsmen have grown to such a scale, which really surprised him. Most of them are collected by Tiejiang Lu. apprentice.

"Dejian, Dejiang, what are you doing so focused." Yuanshan asked curiously.

"Teacher Yuan, you are here. You see, this is a transmission gear developed by our two brothers. This gear can be installed on a bicycle to provide different power changes, which can affect the speed of the bicycle." Li Dejian said.

"You two brothers are simply geniuses in this field. You can even think of bicycle gears, which is amazing." Yuan Shan said in surprise.

The wisdom of the ancient people should not be underestimated. As long as certain conditions are met with them, they will be able to create more. Yuan Shan believes that this is what Datang needs, so he said: "De Jiande Award, I have some new shooting skills here. , why don’t you try it out.”

Li Dejian and Li Deju immediately became interested. The materials they studied were basically provided by Yuan Shan, and there was something new to learn, and the two of them were very happy.

The two of them took the blueprint and looked at it carefully. They saw a long thing with a chimney on the top and several wheels connected together at the bottom.

"Mr. Yuan, what is this thing? It's so strange." Li Dejian asked.

"This thing is called a locomotive. It uses the steam inside as power to move by itself..." Yuan Shan briefly introduced the locomotive, which immediately attracted the attention of two people.

"Mr. Yuan, can steam power really make this locomotive move?" Li Dejian asked curiously.

"Of course you can. Don't worry. Since you are interested, take your time. We can make a small steam oven for experimentation. At that time, I will use this thing to attract everyone's attention. I can move it myself. Have you ever seen the car?" Yuan Shan said.

The two brothers and Blacksmith Lu shook their heads. They had never seen such a car before, so they were very curious.

The use of steam is actually not difficult. It is enough to build a furnace water tank, and then use heat energy to convert into mechanical energy to drive the flywheel movement. The current conditions for building trains are not allowed, but fixed steam engines can still be realized. He didn't say that the steam locomotive could be made in one go. Yuan Shan felt that it was more reliable to build from the most basic steam stove. The technology needs to be developed step by step in order to be better developed.

"Mr. Yuan, we will follow your instructions on what to do." Li Dejian said immediately.

"Don't worry about it. Next, I will explain the theory of the steam engine to you. After you understand it, you can start making it, which will save a lot of exploration." Yuan Shan said.

In the next period of time, Yuan Shan did not return to Chang'an to work in the Military Weapons Supervision, but stayed in his small workshop to study steam engines with this kind of person.

Dugu Ruolan found that Yuan Shan had been staying in the workshop for the past few days, not knowing what he was doing, but every day when she went back, she felt a strong smell on her body. Out of curiosity, she finally couldn't help but came here today. Brought some refreshments.

As soon as he entered the workshop, He Ye immediately said from the side: "Miss, what does this smell like? Who can bear these people staying in such a place all day long? Miss, you find that it is not as hot as the inside of the workshop."

Dugu Ruolan also felt it, but out of curiosity, she still wanted to see what her husband was doing recently.

Chapter 218 Steam Drilling Machine

"Continue to add coal." Ruo Lan heard Yuan Shan's call from a long distance away.

The inside of the workshop was messy, and there was a lot of coal. What was going on here? Dugu Ruolan became more and more curious as she got closer.

"Hey, this..."

Just when she was approaching, she heard a group of people shouting over there: "Out of breath, the flywheel moved."

Dugu Ruolan took a closer look, and saw a big thing fixed inside the workshop, the chimney was protruded outside the roof, and there was a huge sound making a blunt and rapid friction sound inside, and then a super-large There is a big iron pot on the stove, and there is a flywheel spinning beside it. There is nothing else except the metal rod connected to it. The flywheel is moving by itself. Dugu Ruolan couldn't believe it.

"Husband, what are you doing here?" Dugu Ruolan said.

"Ruolan, why are you here?" Yuan Shan asked.

"Bring something to eat." Dugu Ruolan said.

"Exactly, look at this thing. It's called a steam engine. When the technology matures, it can move on its own when it's installed on a four-wheeled vehicle," Yuan Shan said.

"Move by yourself, is this true?" Dugu Ruolan was still a little skeptical.

Yuan Shan immediately explained: "Of course, the steam engine you see now is moving by itself."

"Teacher Yuan, what should we do next?" Li Dejian asked.

"It's very simple. Put this thing on wheels, and then you can use it." Yuan Shan said.

Li Dejian asked suspiciously: "Mr. Yuan really wants to put this on wheels. If such a big person wants to move this steam engine out, I am afraid that the wall of the workshop will be demolished."

"Then remove it. It seems that the door of the workshop needs to be replaced with a bigger one." Yuan Shan said directly.

Then the people in the workshop started to take action. Anyone can do the work of tearing down the wall. The brick and cement wall is very hard, but when the wall is pulled down, it will fall down when it is pushed. When doing these things, Yuan Shan has already brought Following Dugu Ruolan, they left.

"Husband, what is the use of this steam engine?" Dugu Ruolan asked curiously.

"It's very useful. The steam engine we're making now can be used to drill wells. You'll know when the steam engine is launched in a few days." Yuan Shan said.

Facts proved that Yuan Shan didn't keep Dugu Ruolan waiting too long. Five days later, a huge boiler with four wheels was pushed out. The huge wheels were as tall as a person.

There was such a big thing on the side of the workshop, and some farmers saw it. After all, the location of the old house was very close to the farmers, and then a lot of spectators gathered on the side of the workshop.

For this steam engine, all the people from the whole manor came over. In the past few days, Tiejiang Lu specially processed the equipment for drilling wells. Everything was ready. Yuan Shan came over and said: "There are quite a lot of people, Liu Lizheng is also here I know everyone is curious about what this is, so let me introduce it to you. This is a steam engine, which uses steam to make the machine move regularly, so that they can use it to do some things, such as this one now. The main function of a steam engine is to dig a well. It may not be intuitive enough to say that, but it happens that a well needs to be drilled in the workshop, so let the steam engine do the job today.”

Speaking of Yuan Shan, he told people to start the ignition. After the coal burned, Yuan Shan closed the vent valve and then turned the flywheel. Then he saw the flywheel began to rotate rapidly. The main power rod in the cylinder was connected to the flywheel and was moving rapidly. , and then drove a derrick next to it, and began to drive the drilling equipment to drop on the ground one by one, and soon drilled into the ground.

"Look, it's really digging a well." Liu Lizheng said in surprise.

All the people present were watching, and they were very surprised. A machine that can move by itself is digging a well. Only then did the farmers really believe that this strange thing called a steam engine could really do it.

Dugu Ruolan, who was beside Yuan Shan, said softly: "Husband, a lot of money has been spent on making this steam engine, and the manor doesn't have much money left."

"Leave this matter to me. With this steam engine, it may be possible to sell it for a good price." Yuan Shan said.
