Otherworldly Castle Era
Vol 4 Chapter 17: Technical Information
When he came to the library, looking at the library building that suddenly increased by two floors, Yang Song was no longer surprised by the magic of the system.
Now the 12-story library building is the tallest building in the Apocalypse City. At first glance, it looks like a high tower, no, this is a high tower!
After entering the door, Shen Kuo immediately confessed to Yang Song, and couldn't wait to go up to the top two floors.
Yang Song followed slowly, looking at Shen Kuo, who was reading the information carefully, without disturbing him, and picked up a book on the shelf next to him.
I saw the big characters "The Basics of Thermodynamics" come into view. Before looking through the content, Yang Song knew that this was not his own dish.
put the book back on the shelf, and then glanced roughly at the books on the shelf, such as "Steam Dynamics", "Introduction to Heat Transfer", etc., seeing Yang Song dizzy.
These scientific things are still a bit distant for him. If he is asked to look at the art of war, command science, leadership science, etc., Yang Song may still be able to see it, but these...
"Your Majesty, this is really a big treasure house!" It took a long time for Shen Kuo to return to the outside world from the pile of materials, watching Yang Song sitting boringly flipping through the book, no matter what else, holding a few scrolls of drawings with excitement on his face. Step forward.
"Oh, isn't it?" Yang Song closed the book and asked excitedly: "Is this something good found in Cunzhong?"
"Go back to the Lord, this is the design drawing of the steam engine that the minister found upstairs." Shen Kuo held the drawings very excitedly, and said happily: "With these drawings, the minister will be able to build a steam engine in a few days."
"That's great!" Yang Song was very happy to hear that the steam engine would be available in a few days, and then asked, "How about the output?"
Yang Song asked this question because something like this had happened before.
Actually, the development of the musket was not unsuccessful. At that time, Shen Kuo spent a lot of time in the research institute to create a musket by hand. After the test shot was successful, he hurried to Yang Song to ask for his credit.
Yang Song was also very excited at the time. The musket, to be precise, was the successful development of the front-mounted smoothbore flintlock musket, which represented that Xia's army had fully entered the era of hot weapons.
When Yang Song asked about the output, Shen Kuo's expression at the time was not to mention wonderful. But Shen Kuo couldn't deceive the king, so he had to answer honestly.
But when Yang Song heard that the output actually took half a month, he was speechless, so he had to ask why.
Finally, I learned that the problem lies in the finished product of the barrel. To make a qualified barrel by hand requires repeated training and polishing.
Because of the low output of hand-produced flintlock muskets, it is touching. It takes half a month to produce a flintlock musket. This is the only thing that came to the hands of craftsmen.
We must know that the development of the current Xia country has only been more than six years. With that idle time, it is better to produce two more artillery pieces. In addition, the current Xia country does not have the requirement for the necessary replacement of weapons, so Yang Song He also ordered the suspension of production and looting, and said when the technology improved in the future.
Therefore, the musket developed by Shen Kuo and the arsenal became Yang Song's personal collection.
If Xia Guo didn't have so many blacksmiths, the population was not enough, and the talents were not enough, otherwise Yang Song would have ordered a full replacement of firearms.
Another example is cameras such as cameras. Xia Guo doesn't have any. The main reason is that Xia Guo's existence is too short and there is a serious shortage of talents and technical reserves, especially talents.
Even if the factory owned by Xia Guo, except for some hydraulic machinery, it is actually a handicraft industry. It should be called a "workshop" rather than a "factory". There is only one word difference, but the difference between the two But it's gone.
So now that there is a steam engine, Yang Song also hopes that this machine is not like a musket, but just a look.
"Enlighten you! The minister has carefully read the drawings. With the current technology of his country, it is possible to manufacture a few prototypes first, and then a steam engine production line, then this steam engine can be produced continuously." Shen Kuo listened to Yang. Song asked immediately and assured him that he didn't want to make Yang Song happy like last time.
"That's good." Yang Song heard Shen Kuo's answer, relieved with a sigh of relief, and then asked, "How long does it take for the steam engine production line to be manufactured?"
"Your Majesty, Chen has found the design drawings of the steam engine production line upstairs. As long as you build according to the drawings, it won't take long." Shen Kuo was full of confidence in Yang Song's problem, and he decided that even if it was polished by hand, he would This production line needs to be polished out.
Yang Song was completely relieved now, and nodded with a relieved smile: "Very well, in the process, I will trouble you to build this production line during this time."
"Yes, the minister obeyed!" Shen Kuo led the order and promised: "The minister must build a steam engine production line in the shortest time."
"Your Majesty, the minister has a few questions to ask Dean Shen." Liu Ji asked Yang Song for instructions.
Yang Song raised his head and glanced at Liu Ji who was standing behind him, nodded and said, "If you have anything to ask Berwyn, just ask."
"Yes." Liu Ji bowed his hands and said: "Dean Shen, with this steam engine, can you now build the train the Lord said?"
Shen Kuo shook his head straightforwardly: "No, I have seen the design drawings of the steam train just now. Although I didn't look at it carefully, I know that a steam train can't be made in such a simple way."
Yang Song said, "Chen Zhong is right. This lone knows that steam trains require a lot of steel, and all of them are high-quality steel. The current smelter in Xia Guo can't meet that requirement."
"So that's it!" Liu Ji glanced at the drawing Shen Kuo put on the table, bowed his hands to Yang Song and Shen Kuo, and then asked: "What about the steam engine used to make ships? What about the machine that makes gun barrels?"
"If you just install a steam engine on the sailboat~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and add a controller to perform simple operations, this is a very simple thing." Shen Kuo faced Liu Ji's successive questions and replied after a moment of thought: "But such a ship may not be of much use. The ship is too small to fit, and the ship is too large and does not have enough power. Only a steam power system can be designed for the ship alone."
"As for the machine that makes the musket barrel." Shen Kuo thought for a long time before repliing without confirming: "I can't answer this kind of machine design now. Only by waiting for me to study and research can I give you an accurate answer. ."
Liu Ji nodded, indicating that he knew it, then lowered his head and started to think. And Shen Kuo's rigorous attitude made Yang Song very admired. He is indeed a scientist and scholar!
Yang Song got a message from the conversation just now, and he asked very carefully: "I'm keeping it, there are design drawings of the steam train upstairs?"
"Yes, Lord, there are a lot of design drawings upstairs, all kinds of them. At that time, the minister only looked for the drawings of the steam engine, but didn't look at the other drawings carefully." Shen Kuo thought of the large number of classified storage upstairs. Drawings, there is a feeling that he can't wait, he wants to see what design drawings are upstairs.
Hearing Shen Kuo's answer, even Yang Song felt this way, and immediately said, "Go, go upstairs and have a look."
