On October 23, the seventh year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao got up early, and Su Yan went to the construction site of the Shuifu Railway on the outlying island early on the 22nd to assist Li Xiang in recruiting residents to participate in the construction of the Shuifu Railway.
Qu Mao only needs to face Mo Yangqiao alone, which is relatively easier. Of course, Qu Mao is too much toss. To be able to get up early, Qu Mao mustered the courage and perseverance of two lifetimes.
Ignoring the opportunity to say hello to Mo Yangqiao who was still lying on the bed, Qu Mao had a quick breakfast in the dining room on the first floor of the lord's hut, and then went directly to the backyard of the lord's hut to find a war horse, and rode on the horse to exchange non-stop From the south of the island, he rushed to the small village.
October 23, the seventh year of Tianxuan, was the day that Qu Mao and technical personnel and scientific research experts in various fields in Yigong territory agreed to visit the prototype of the steam engine at the Outlying Island Power Research Institute and discuss the follow-up improvement direction of the prototype of the tidy engine.
Although Qu Mao is no longer the first brother, it is a new taste for Mo Yangqiao. It is not easy for Qu Mao to get up on time.
When Qu Mao rushed to the outlying island power research institute, the outlying island power research institute was already full of people, busier than ever, because nearly 170 more visitors were added at once.
Fortunately, before Qu Mao came, Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng had already ignited the steam engine prototype to boil water in advance, so when Qu Mao arrived, more than 170 visitors were surrounding the neat engine prototype wriggling slowly on the iron frame The locomotive I was on was amazed.
Among the more than 170 technical personnel and scientific research experts who came here to visit the Holy Land of Yigong Territory, a large part of them have already visited the steam engine prototype in advance, so visiting again this time is not just as simple as being amazed, many people I started to think about how to make the locomotive faster around the wriggling locomotive.
When the steam engine prototype slowly drove out of the laboratory wall, it was only half past ten in the morning. Qu Mao beckoned Kong Ming to his side, and asked Kong Ming and the acting director of the Island Power Research Institute to guide the visitors. Technicians and scientific research experts moved to the conference room of the Island Power Research Institute, and Qu Mao prepared to hold a technical seminar in advance.
As the recognized chief scientist and chief scientific research expert of Yigong Territory, Qu Mao was invited to the rostrum by Kong Ming, even though Qu Mao just wanted to find a corner to sit down and take a nap, and was very unwilling to sit on the rostrum of this technical seminar .
But now that he came up, Qu Mao looked at the time. It was already eleven o'clock in the morning, and he was invited to the rostrum by Kong Ming again. Technical experts and scientific research experts in various fields such as science and technology, industry, military industry, etc., invite you to come to the Islands Power Research Institute today. On the one hand, I invite you to observe the power of the steam engine industry; The future improvement direction of the engine is to ensure that the steam engine can effectively drive the rapid development of science and technology and industry in our Yi Gong territory.
So I hope that everyone will not hold back when discussing, but should brainstorm and work together to collide with each other to create sparks of wisdom.
Let me first express: The core point of my concern lies in two aspects. The first is that the size of the steam engine is reduced. Such a huge steam engine will inevitably lead to many things that cannot use steam engines, such as steel chariots; the second is that the power must be strengthened. , the total weight of the locomotive equipped with the steam engine prototype is only 15,000 kilograms, and the friction force of the railway composed of rails is actually not great, but the power produced by our neat engine prototype makes the speed of the locomotive less than 200 meters per hour. is too slow.
I believe that every expert should have their own concerns, so I hope to be able to discuss in groups, find improvements that I am interested in, find like-minded scientific experts, and discuss collectively.
Of course, scientific research experts from the Island Power Research Institute can also take the initiative to participate.
Next, let’s discuss freely. "
There are more than 200 scientific research experts from the Holy Land of Yigong Territory gathered in the Institute of Power on Outlying Islands, because more than 30 researchers from the Institute of Power have also participated.
After Qu Mao finished his speech, the participants applauded enthusiastically and began to walk around.
Although the Outlying Island Power Research Institute prepared a very rich lunch for the visitors, none of these scientific research experts wanted to go to the cafeteria to have lunch, but happily discussed with scientific research experts from different fields.
Even the acting director of the Outlying Islands Energy Research Institute had to notify the cafeteria to pack the meals and send them to the meeting room in the form of food boxes, so that the participants could eat a boxed meal while continuing to discuss.
The heated discussion lasted until about two o'clock before it gradually quieted down. The jury composed of Kong Ming, Xuande, Mengde, Zhongmou and Xinping also started to take action, selecting different suggestions from different groups, collecting valuable discussion results, and then Make a selection.
At 4:00 p.m., Kong Ming, Xuande, Zhongmou, Mengde, and Xinping handed over the names of the two selected groups to the acting director of the Power Research Institute, and asked the acting director to chair the two groups and report to Qu Mao.
The first one to report was Mu Desheng's group. Their suggestion direction was mainly about the size reduction of the neat engine prototype. The main applied technologies were new materials and hose water circulation cooling system.
To put it simply, a large number of rubber hoses are used to connect the connection systems of different links on the steam engine. According to the calculations of this group discussion, the neat engine prototype can eventually be reduced to a cylinder with a diameter of 2 meters and a height of 1.5 meters. inside the container.
Regardless of whether this idea can be realized, Qu Mao still gave great encouragement. After all, if it can be compressed to this specification, the steam engine will definitely have no problem on the ironclad ship in terms of specifications.
The second report was mainly from the ironclad ship research and development project team. They gave suggestions on power improvement, mainly relying on different gear sets to achieve.
That is, after the steam pushes the piston to move up and down, it does not directly drive the transmission shaft, but adds multiple gear sets in the middle, the piston drives the large gear, and the large gear drives the small gear to amplify the power obtained by the transmission shaft.
Qu Mao also spoke highly of it. Finally, Qu Mao concluded: "We will pass on the discussion results of each group to the steam engine research and development team, and we will select the best and publish them in the Science and Technology Quarterly. Thank you for your suggestions!"
