Chapter 485 I Have a Bad Feeling
Hear this.
Jiang Tian was immediately delighted, and then looked at the thing in Shi Zhigang's hand.
In order to save efficiency and because the current conditions are not very good, the entire body of this steam engine is carved from wood, but a mold is made for the time being.
Comparatively speaking, this is relatively simple to do.
First of all, there is no such thing as a boiler, but there is a hole in it that serves as an air inlet.
Then, there was a wooden box like a box, with two wooden sticks protruding from the upper and lower holes, and a slightly larger wooden flywheel connected to the left and right by a crankshaft.
Under Shi Zhigang's operation, the wooden box was half opened, revealing the mechanism inside.
In this state, you can see a 'back'-shaped structure carved out of wood, with some wooden parts also placed inside.
At this time, Shi Zhigang introduced Jiang Tian:
"Boss, since we don't have steam, I will demonstrate it to you manually. This wooden box is similar to the cylinder in a steam engine."
Said.
Shi Zhigang put his finger on the wooden box, and finally pointed at the air intake hole.
"When water is heated to form steam, the steam will flow in from this place and push the piston into motion."
Then, Shi Zhigang directly pressed a horizontal 'T' shaped part at the bottom of the box and pushed it backwards.
Being pushed like this, the part moves forward and the crankshaft rotates the flywheel at the front.
"As the flywheel rotates, it will also move the crankshaft on the other side, and at the same time..."
When the flywheel is running, the crankshaft connected to the other side of the flywheel drives the wooden rod connecting rod to start moving at the same time, and the sliding valve connected to the top of the piston also moves.
Immediately, Shi Zhigang pointed to the two gas orbits in the wooden box.
"When the slide valve moves a certain distance, the steam's course of action switches, pushing the piston back again, and the motion repeats.
Through this repeated movement, the flywheel can be kept running as long as there is enough steam. "
As Shi Zhigang described it, he pushed and pulled the lower piston with his hands, and the flywheel was also rotating rapidly.
Seeing this, Jiang Tian felt happy.
"Yes, that's the principle! Good guys, you really did it!"
With that said, Jiang Tian looked at the area where the two of them were.
On the ground, there is a small stack of drawings showing various components, as well as some discarded parts.
In addition, the wood chips used for carving wooden parts accumulated in a thick layer on the ground.
Seeing this, Jiang Tian was overjoyed and moved in his heart. He put his hands on their shoulders and said sincerely:
"Boy, thank you for your hard work."
"Hey, it's not hard."
Shi Zhigang wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled brightly.
“I’ve been busy with construction before, which felt quite boring, but I’m not very interested in poker either. It’s quite interesting to do something like this.
Although I know the principle of this thing, it takes a lot of effort to actually design and operate it. I have to have continuous communication with my ancestor these days and continuous improvement before I can make this thing. By the way, these parts were also made by the ancestor himself. "
At this time, Jiang Tiancai noticed that after Lu Ban greeted him, he had been standing by and looking at the wooden 'steam engine' without saying a word.
However, there seemed to be a faint light in his eyes when he looked at the 'steam engine'.
Being put on Jiang Tian's shoulder like this, the little old man came back to his senses, looked up at the other person and asked:
"Lord, this steam engine...if there is no problem, when can it be made?"
Looking at the radiance in this little old man's eyes, Jiang Tian could also tell.
He wanted to fully produce his work and use the machine to its full potential.
Immediately, Jiang Tian patted his shoulder again and gave him an affirmative look.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange for manpower to make it now and try to complete it as soon as possible!"
After that, Jiang Tian grabbed the parts drawings, left the lumber warehouse and strode towards the blacksmith shop.
"Ding-dang-dang! Dong-dong-dang-dang!"
Outside the blacksmith shop, more than ten blacksmiths were continuously smelting metal and forging it into stick-shaped objects.
Inside, it was even more busy. After Jiang Tian entered the door, several people were still working on the iron, completely unaware of Jiang Tian's figure.
Jiang Tian didn't care about this. He first came to the corner of the blacksmith shop and looked at a small nest placed here.
In this small nest, the lava bug is still sleeping, and its black skin has also changed, forming a black shell.
Stroking the other person's shell and recalling the coquettish and cute way the lava bug acted before, Jiang Tian couldn't help but sigh.
I had been busy before and had no time to care about it. Now that this little guy is in this state, he really misses it.
I hope I can emerge from the pupa soon and continue to be my little pet on the island.
By the way, use the waste heat to improve the work efficiency of the blacksmith shop.
After thinking about this, Jiang Tiancai came to a few people and asked:
"How's your work going?"
"Hey mom!"
At this time, Tang Yan was striking iron with a few people and was startled when he heard Jiang Tian's voice.
"Boss, why did you pinch me suddenly? You scared me!"
"Why are you so guilty? Are you taking advantage of yourself again?"
"No way, isn't this a natural reaction..."
With that said, Tang Yan ordered Li Si and others, and then they put down their hammers and went to the corner to bring a few things.
"Boss, look, isn't this the armor you ordered us to make? We made two sets of them, look at it!"
With that said, Tang Yan ordered everyone to display these scales.
This set of scale armor is composed of several parts. The first is a vest-like armor, and the center part is a dragon fly scale that is melted into the iron sheet. The remaining part is also composed of various scales and iron sheets of different specifications.
Other parts of this set include neck coverings, skirts and armor with the same structure.
In addition to this set of dragon fly scale armor, there is also a 'low-end' version made entirely of iron.
"These divided parts also maximize mobility on the basis of comprehensive defense. Boss, do you think this is the case?"
"Yeah, not bad."
Jiang Tian smiled and patted Tang Yan on the shoulder.
"I can't tell, but you are quite brave~"
Being praised by Jiang Tian, Tang Yan's face also exuded a hint of pride.
"That's not true. Am I so brave..."
After saying that, Tang Yan felt something was wrong.
"Hey Mom, why do I feel like this scene is a bit familiar? Besides, I have an ominous premonition..."
