The thirty-seventh volume, the eleventh chapter, the epoch-making invention
Among the five people who entered in the third group, the self-introduction of the last person made Zhang Tie focus on him.
He was a young man, less than thirty years old, gentle and elegant. More importantly, Zhang Tie felt that this man looked familiar for some reason.
"I, Sun Qiming, from Hongyuan Merchant Group in Xuantian City, have met the real Zhulong!"
Surname Sun?
Zhang Tie suddenly understood why he thought this person looked familiar, because just now, the face shape of the child Lu Shasha was carrying was 70% or 80% similar to the Sun Qiming in front of him. Taking a closer look, Zhang Tie
It was immediately confirmed that this Sun Qiming was the husband of his junior sister Lu Shasha.
What does it mean that nothing can be written without coincidence? This is it! If you really want to talk about it, this Sun Qiming should also follow Lu Shasha and call him senior brother.
After looking at Sun Qiming for a few times, Zhang Tie's tone suddenly softened, "Your Sun family is also good at manufacturing machinery and equipment?"
"To be honest, I don't dare to say that I am good at it. Taixia is the best among humans in the field of machine manufacturing. There are people hiding in various places in various states. Compared with Taixia's top big business groups and big families in the field of machine manufacturing, we
There is still a certain gap, but our Sun family has been in the machine manufacturing industry for several generations and is well aware of the various ways in the field of machine manufacturing. The family’s main machine products are several different types of pot camel machines, and there are several others.
It is a small steam machine tool and some steam city defense equipment. Hongyuan brand machine products are well-known in Youzhou and the entire Northeast Governor's Office, and are also loved by many old customers." After hearing Zhang Tie's inquiry, Sun Qiming added
He was modest and prudent, and his words were impeccable. He not only stated the Sun family's own advantages, but also did not offend the other families in the flower hall.
"You said that the Sun family has been involved in the machine manufacturing industry for many years. Let me test you. Can you tell me how this steam-powered machinery is different from the internal combustion engine machinery that was popular before the catastrophe?"
Sun Qiming is still modest, because Zhang Tie's question cannot be said to be a test at all. As long as anyone in this industry, even a newbie, knows this question, but Master Zhulong said it is a test, and those sitting here
, and no one dared to say that Master Zhulong’s question was childish. He could only answer it seriously without revealing any other peculiarities.
"Machines powered by internal combustion engines before the Cataclysm have many advantages compared to steam-powered machinery. The most obvious ones are small size, light weight, high power, rapid ignition, and wide application. This is why humans eliminated steam before the Cataclysm.
The reason why we choose internal combustion engine power instead of power.”
Zhang Tie nodded, "In your opinion, if an internal combustion engine is given to you now, where do you think it will be most useful?"
"The technology of internal combustion engines has been completely mature more than a thousand years ago. Even with the current level of machine manufacturing, it is not difficult to manufacture a mature internal combustion engine. What is difficult is to manufacture it. If there is no fuel that can drive it, such a
The internal combustion engine is also a decoration, and because it has lost the possibility of continuing to drive the internal combustion engine, in this era, in order to pursue the high energy and efficiency characteristics of the internal combustion engine, people have developed an external combustion engine between the steam engine and the internal combustion engine. The external combustion engine also combines
Some of the characteristics of steam engines and internal combustion engines are that the combustion of alcohol is used as the indirect power of the steam cycle, but its capabilities are always somewhat different from those of internal combustion engines. Its uses are also limited to a few high-end vehicles and some urban defense equipment that require quick response and some
On the gear driving force of the differential engine.”
Seeing Zhang Tie asking about the situation of the Sun family in a friendly manner, the other family members all looked at Sun Qiming with envy. They didn't know what Master Zhulong liked about the Sun family. After the others introduced themselves, it was fine that Master Zhulong had heard about it.
Okay, why did this Sun family member suddenly become interested in Master Zhulong after introducing himself?
Seriously speaking, although the Sun family is a little famous in the field of machine manufacturing, it is really not any better than others. If the Sun family can make it, they can also make it. Why doesn't Master Zhulong ask me? Is it just that?
Because Sun Qiming was the last to speak, he paid attention by the way. If he had known this, he would have waited until the end on purpose.
But at this time, people from the other four families could only sit aside and listen, and they had to concentrate. Apart from sighing inwardly at the Sun family's good fortune, they did not dare to show even a hint of dissatisfaction.
As a master craftsman who hides his identity, Zhang Tie can be called a figure who stands at the pinnacle of steam power in this era. As long as a master craftsman is given time, a master craftsman can even create a steam civilization on his own. What Sun Qiming said
How could Zhang Tie not know this? Not only did he know it, but he also understood it more deeply than Sun Qiming. Zhang Tie asked him, not really expecting to get any answers from him. This was just a pretext, and he also took a look at Junior Sister Lu's
Whether this man is reliable or not is a matter of whether he can shoulder the heavy responsibility he has entrusted to the Sun family.
"Haha, I mean if the internal combustion engine can be driven, what kind of internal combustion engine do you think should be developed first?"
Hearing this question, Sun Qiming said without thinking, "This is the holy war, and the survival of the human race is in danger. If there are such sharp weapons, of course we should give priority to developing weapons that can be used to increase the strength of the human army, defeat the demons, and protect us.
Comrade, protect my territory!"
"Hahahaha..." Zhang Tie laughed boldly. Sun Qiming seemed to be a gentle and modest gentleman, but he also had a passionate and passionate side. This person's temper matched Junior Sister Lu's gentle and restrained temperament, which is not bad. No wonder
Two people can become husband and wife, "What you said is exactly what I like. How about you come over and take a look at this thing?"
Zhang Tie moved his hand, and a roll of drawings appeared in his hand.
For people like Zhulong Zhenren, it is not unusual at all to have space equipment, but they just saw something appear in Zhang Tie's hand out of thin air. Two of the people sitting here probably have never had the opportunity to see someone in Zhang Tie's hand.
The space equipment was used in front of him, so he seemed a little shocked, but because of this, he was even more in awe of Zhang Tie.
Under the envious gazes of the four people next to him, Sun Qiming stood up, came to Zhang Tie with some restraint, and took the roll of drawings from Zhang Tie's hand with both hands.
As soon as the drawing was received in his hand, with its familiar feel and heavy weight, Sun Qiming knew that it was a very formal and professional mechanical design drawing. The texture, drawing method, and regulations of the mechanical design drawing had strict requirements.
It's not something that ordinary people can draw casually on paper. In those novels, it's absolutely nonsense to casually draw a design on paper.
"There is a table there. You can spread out the drawings on the table and take a look!" Zhang Tie pointed to a long square table in the flower hall, and then looked at the other four who pretended to be calm, but their eyes were already wandering.
People who saw the drawing said, "You don't have to sit down anymore, come and take a look together!"
Hearing Zhang Tie's words, the four people were flattered and stood up from the chairs on which they were sitting on their buttocks. Together with Sun Qiming, they spread out the drawings on the table and looked at them carefully.
It was indeed a mechanical design drawing, not a sketch, but a complete drawing that even included various parameters and materials.
When they first saw the picture, several people immediately recognized that it was a design drawing of an internal combustion engine, a design drawing of an 8-cylinder internal combustion engine.
The 8 cylinders and the reciprocating piston and crank connecting rod mechanism on the design drawing can be easily recognized by a knowledgeable person at a glance. This is a design drawing of an internal combustion engine. If you are familiar with internal combustion engine design, you can also see it at a glance.
The exhaust gas boosting device in the picture.
But that is not an ordinary internal combustion engine design drawing, because the internal combustion engine on that design drawing is very different from the internal combustion engine that everyone remembers. It can be said to be unprecedented.
Looking at the design drawing, Sun Qiming's expression was strange at first, then surprised, and finally became extremely solemn.
The biggest difference from ordinary internal combustion engines is that the 8 cylinders in this design seem to be more than just cylinders, but more like the combustion chamber of a boiler, because the outer layers of the 8 cylinders are hollow and filled with
Filled with water, to a certain extent, the cylinder itself, which drives the reciprocating piston to move, becomes the combustion chamber of an external combustion engine. When burning, it will automatically heat the water layer on the outer wall of the cylinder just like a boiler.
, generate steam energy.
Sun Qiming's fingers slowly slid over the drawings, his eyes focused. When his fingers slid over the drawings, he was already slowly imagining the operating conditions of the engine in his mind. Suddenly, Sun Qiming was shocked.
, I suddenly grasped the essence of this engine design...
"Don't you understand yet?" At some point, when the five people were standing at the table looking at the design drawings, Zhang Tie had already come to several people. As soon as Zhang Tie opened his mouth, those who were carefully pondering the drawings
Several people were startled, and each one quickly bowed and pushed away from the table.
"I'm so stupid, I haven't fully understood the design idea of this engine yet!" One person said with some embarrassment.
"This engine looks like an internal combustion engine, but it also looks a bit like an external combustion engine, so..." one person said hesitantly.
"Such a design has never been seen before the Cataclysm, nor has it been seen since the Catastrophe..."
Zhang Tie smiled and raised his hand. Everyone quickly shut up. Then Zhang Tie pointed directly at the picture and started swiping it. "This machine is indeed unprecedented. It is a brand-new design. The core of its design is
, it embodies the most essential part of the internal combustion engine before the Cataclysm and the core concept of steam power developed after the Catastrophe. Of course you have never seen it. You can say it is an eight-cylinder internal combustion engine, or you can say it is an eight-cylinder internal combustion engine.
It is an external combustion engine with three combustion chambers. I gave it a name myself..." At this point, Zhang Tie paused slightly and seemed to think over it in his mind, "I call it a dual-drive full-thermal ultra-efficient power system.
To put it simply, it is called a dual-drive engine..."
