Chapter 399 The manufacturing problem of steam engines, the threat of capital!
Lao Zhao and the others looked at each other in dismay.
The steam engine that Su Yu got today is a real help.
Now, the docks in the counties of Daqin have almost been repaired.
If this steam engine can be installed on the ship again, Daqin's water transportation efficiency will definitely be improved by another level.
They never imagined that the steam engine Su Yu mentioned would have such a powerful effect.
And looking at his meaning, it seems that in addition to this, this steam engine has other uses.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with unfulfilled thoughts, Su Yu had no choice but to give up the idea of letting them scatter their thoughts on their own.
He continued helplessly: "To put it bluntly, the steam engine "Seven-Five-Zero" is just a power source, and it can output power continuously and not only exhaustively."5
"What we have to do is to use some mechanical structures to convert these powers into power that can be used for us.
Lao Zhao rubbed his hands excitedly: "Like?"
"For example, a super-powerful steam engine is placed in the front of the car, and a large amount of cargo can be dragged behind to drive it on a predetermined track.
"This kind of thing, in our case, is called a train, and its importance in the interior even exceeds that of ships." Su Yu said slowly.
"In addition, this steam engine can also be used in metal smelting, silk manufacturing, and processing."
"Of course, the prerequisite for these is to have a corresponding power conversion structure. 35
"It can be said that this steam engine is like a heart. What role it can play depends on your own imagination."
Su Yu has already said so much, if Lao Zhao and the others don't understand, they are fools.
They now fully understand the true value of this steam engine.
As long as this thing has coal, it will completely replace a lot of manpower, and it will never tire.
For the current situation of lack of manpower in Daqin, this steam engine is undoubtedly a key item.
After Lao Zhao pondered for a moment, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"If I had known that this steam engine would come out, I shouldn't have let the Mo family before Da Qin leave. It seems that I have to call them back now."
Su Yu nodded slightly.
The Mo family members of the Daqin lineage had a far better understanding of various mechanical structures than most of the people of the time.
Although they are all carpenters, as long as they can make drawings, it is enough.
The rest is to use metal to replicate and forge in equal proportions, and it can be handed over to Da Niu's Iron Fortress.
The use of the steam engine, and the structural problems were solved.
Then the next step is to manufacture.
"Da Niu, tell me about the manufacture of this steam engine." Su Yu asked.
Da Niu looked at the crowd and replied: "It should be because Su Yu only inspired me, so this steam engine is all built by me. 55
"From mold opening, forging, to assembly, it was all done by myself, and it took nearly a month and a half.
"For the second part, the time will be shorter, just a month. 99
"If multiple people can cooperate to cast, forge, polish, and assemble parts at the same time, this time can be shortened even more.
The reason why he was able to make this steam engine was because he was enlightened by Su Yu, and the Daniel did not hide it at all.
When they heard Da Niu's answer, everyone fell into contemplation.
It's too long!
There is no doubt that with the current situation of Daqin, the demand for this steam engine is probably in units of thousands.
But the manufacture of just one steam engine takes so long.
This made Lao Zhao and others a little overwhelmed.
In this regard, Su Yu gave his own thoughts: "I think we can hand over some non-critical things and let the merchants do it""
"For example, the forging work of some metal gears, metal transmission rods, and pistons, after all, these things can only play a practical role when they are assembled together.
"As long as they are properly controlled, even if they put these things together, they still don't know what they can be used for.
In this case, whether it will lead to the loss of technology, Su Yu is not worried at all anyway.
To put it bluntly, it is based on Daqin's current technological development and understanding of things.
Really give them a complete steam engine, let them study, copy.
Without some key information, they also don't appear to be complete.
Even if I reluctantly draw a picture of a cat and a tiger in the end, I will come up with something exactly the same.
There is definitely a great risk of cylinder explosion when used.
The steam engine is no joke.
The power of the explosion is probably not inferior to that of a bomb.
And hand over these mechanical parts to the merchants outside to do it.
It can not only provide many jobs for Daqin, but also promote the overall forging and processing water level of Daqin.
To pave the way for the future Seiko industry.
Otherwise, Xianyang Palace would need to do everything in person, and I am afraid that Lao Zhao and the civil and military officials would all be busy dying.
The only problem with this situation is that it may lead to the birth of capital.
As a modern native born and raised, Su Yu knows very well how terrible capital is.
If left alone, it will definitely grow into an existence that can threaten the imperial power.
Simply facing this situation, like the current Da Qin, actually has a relatively good solution.
That is... sell titles!.
