Daqin: Qin Shihuang Visited The Stalls At the Start

Chapter 426 Steam Crane 2.0, Technology Decentralization!

On the second day since the man left from Su Yu's house, Duke Huang Shi was invited by Qiyu with the children of the Mo family who were extremely close to him into the Young Mechanical Mansion.

It was the same for the next three or four days.

A week later, Qiyu once again took the blueprint and visited Su Yu.

In the drawings he took out this time, the base of the crane was enlarged a lot and could be fixed on the ground.

The steel arm has also been thickened by half a circle, which seems to be able to support the whole steel arm, plus the weight of the cargo.

Although the thickness difference between the front and back is large, the proportions are a little out of balance, and it looks a little unsightly, and it consumes 30% more steel than the original.

But with the current metallurgical level of Daqin, if you want to make a crane, you can only do it now.

Unless you wait until later, there are more excellent materials.

As for the original telescopic design, the reason why the movable components are easily damaged was completely abandoned and replaced with a fixed-length boom.

In order to make up for the problem of telescopic, the pulley block assembly on the boom becomes movable.

And the root of the entire boom can be rotated under the action of manpower.

It is also more convenient and flexible.

As for Qiyu's "version 2.0" crane, Su Yu naturally did not make any comments.

With the smooth progress of the whole process of manufacturing, experimentation and putting into production, the river transportation efficiency of Daqin in the future will be improved again.

The only price is that the demand for steam engines has increased again.

According to Daniel's estimate, at present, there are sixty or seventy small steam engines for this crane to meet the most basic needs of Daqin.

For a time, the workload of the craftsmen in the entire Mechanical Shaofu increased greatly.

"Su Yu, is there any good way to give me some advice?" Lao Zhao said tiredly, pinching his eyebrows.

Fu Su, who was next to him, also had a little tiredness on his face.

However, because of his age, he seems to be much better than Lao Zhao.

Regarding the manufacture of the current steam engine, the father and son had a candle-lit night talk yesterday and stayed up all night.

In the end, I couldn't come up with any very effective measures.

The problem of parts has been solved, it can even be said that there are as many as you want.

The three merchants who have received OEM so far still have spare capacity.

However, there are too few people who can manufacture key components of steam engines and assemble them as a whole.

So they had to come to Su Yu for help.

Su Yu pondered for a while, and then said softly: "Based on the current situation in Daqin, there is indeed no more effective method.

"If you want to increase productivity, you can only release more manufacturing technology for steam engines."

"Won't this lead to the outflow of the overall manufacturing technology of steam engines?" Fusu said with some concern.

Today's steam engine is the core element of Daqin's future development.

Although it is said that it is only in the aspect of river navigation, it has played a prominent role.

But as the Crown Prince, he clearly knows that the current Young Master of Machinery has proposed how many concepts of using steam engines.

From convenient and fast steam vehicles, fully automatic reciprocating steel-making machinery, and even mobile chariots wearing steel armor...

The existence of the steam engine does not seem to be that important.

But this kind of machine that only needs to burn and heat the water tank can provide more than exhausting power that humans can't reach.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it can completely change the world!

How can such an important machine easily tell outsiders how to make it?

Lao Zhao on the side didn't say a word, but just looked at Su Yu like that.

He believed that, with Su Yu's head, since he had come up with this idea, it was impossible not to have thought of such a risk.

At this time, he must have taken preventive measures in his mind.

Sure enough, after hearing Fu Su's questioning, Su Yu said, "We can only crack down on this situation.

"I have issued a policy that the steam engine is the lifeblood of Daqin, and no one can disclose any information about the structure of the steam engine to anyone who has not been authorized."

"Otherwise, those who disclose information and those who seek information will sit together.

A cold light flashed in Su Yu's eyes.

In special times, heavy medicine should be prescribed.

Although he looked at him honestly and steadily for the past two years, he was definitely not a good person.

When it's time to be ruthless, it will never be soft-hearted.

Hearing Su Yu's proposal, a smile appeared on Lao Zhao's face.

This policy really suits his appetite.

I didn't expect Su Yu to have such a domineering side.

Su Yu continued: "Actually, the structural information of this steam engine does not need to be strictly guarded for too long. 39

"As long as we innovate, we can immediately unlock the current technology and release it (Zhao Wangzhao) to the people.

"Not only steam engines, but also the steel pouring method, metal smelting method, etc., can be operated in this way.

This time, Lao Zhao and Fusu and their son were a little confused.

Even if it has been innovated and replaced, it is better to keep this technology in their hands.

This will make the rule more stable.

"Look, don't talk, I know what you're thinking, the road is narrow, isn't it." Su Yu shook his head and said to Lu.

Lao Zhao took a sip of his tea and said curiously, "Then Su Yu, tell me, what is the intention of transferring technology to the people?"

Su Yu chuckled: "This technology, put in your hands, has consolidated dominance, but it has also limited development. 35
