Chapter 180 Persuasion

Boom boom boom, clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang!

The entire back garden was filled with extremely noisy sounds, and white steam was steaming, covering the entire site. No machines or people could be seen at all. However, the long iron shaft could be seen expanding and contracting faster and faster, pushing the water wheel disc to fly wildly.

As it continued, the noise in the white steam became more and more violent, and everything seemed to be losing control. Suddenly, there was a crash... there was a chaotic noise, and the water wheel disc could not rotate quickly and spun out.

Rumbling, spinning and falling on the water surface. At the same time, there was a clanging sound in the water vapor.

"Close the furnace door quickly and open the gate." Fang Zian's horrified voice came.

Puff puff puff puff! A stream of white steam rushed out in the direction of the bamboo forest. A large piece of bamboo seemed to have been swept by a tornado, swaying violently, and the bamboo leaves flew like rain. There was a harsh sound in the white steam, as if it was a tornado.

The sound of the porcelain in the water tank being smashed with a big iron hammer, and the sound of collapsing and breaking was extremely harsh. But soon, everything became quiet, except for the popping of the white steam spraying into the bamboo forest.

Apart from the sound, the noise of the machine's operation has completely disappeared.

The white steam dissipated, and Qin Xiqing, Chuni and others finally saw the scene in front of them. The pile of metal monsters were lying on the ground as if they had been ripped apart and torn apart by cramps. Iron pipes, iron boxes, iron rods, and all kinds of weird little things were scattered everywhere.

The ground completely fell apart.

"It's successful! Hahahaha. It's successful." Fang Zian's loud laughter came. He rushed over from the thin water vapor and hugged Qin Xiqing and Chunni in his arms, ignoring everyone.

At the scene, he hugged the two of them directly.

Qin Xiqing blushed and punched his shoulder and shouted: "Are you crazy? Put me down quickly."

Fang Zian put the two girls down and shouted excitedly: "It's successful, it's successful."

Qin Xiqing and Chunni looked at him speechlessly. Qin Xiqing said angrily: "That thing fell apart. How could it be successful? What on earth is this?"

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Didn't you see that the waterwheel was running? It was turning so fast, didn't you see it?"

Chunni also smacked her lips and said, "Husband, you have been working for so long and you have come up with such a thing just to make the waterwheel turn?"

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said: "No, aren't you surprised? I only need to boil the water in the boiler to drive the waterwheel. Don't you think this is awesome?"

When Fang Zian said this, Qin Xiqing reacted immediately.

"Oh, yes. What's going on? You just boil water and you can actually make the water wheel turn. It's really strange." Qin Xiqing said.

"No, I thought you would be extremely surprised." Fang Zian said with a smile.

But Qin Xiqing's next words revealed that she actually just felt strange.

"But what's the use? What's the use of turning the water wheel? People can do it, or they can use the power of water flow. What's the point of spending all your time on this thing?"

Fang Zian was speechless, but it was really no wonder that Qin Xiqing and the others did not know the significance of this matter. If everyone could realize the value of some new things, wouldn't everyone be a promoter?

The inventor of technological development.

"I may not only be able to push the waterwheel, the waterwheel is just to prove its effectiveness. I can put a paddle on it, and it can drive a boat. I can put wheels on it, and it can drive a cart. Think about it,

In this way, ships can sail without manpower and wind oars, and carts can move without manpower and mules. There are many places that require power to drive, can't they all be replaced by this machine? And the power of the machine

It's very powerful. You have also seen that the water wheel was spinning and flying just now, which shows how powerful it is. Think about it carefully, is this true?" Fang Zian smiled and gave the two women information.

Chuni still had no reaction, but Qin Xiqing suddenly woke up. Fang Zian's words seemed to suddenly clear the fog in front of her eyes, allowing her to see something clearly. Although it was hazy and unclear, it was

An absolutely astonishing view.

"Ah, it's true. Then... with this thing, we can get rid of it once and for all. If it can drive a big ship, can it also be sailed when there is no wind? That would be amazing. Even if there are no mules and horses in the big cart,

Can it walk? Moreover, this thing does not need to be fed with feed or water, or even needs to take a rest, and can continue to operate? That is really an amazing thing." Qin Xiqing said in shock.

Fang Zian raised his thumb and praised: "You are absolutely right. This product has many benefits. Not only does it not need to be taken care of like mules and horses, it only needs to be constantly added with water and pebbles to burn it to generate steam. You will never be tired.

, unless it breaks down. And it is extremely powerful. In the future, one such machine can replace the strength of dozens or even hundreds of livestock. Originally, a mule or horse could only pull a few hundred kilograms of weight, but with this

It’s no exaggeration to say that this thing can pull thousands or tens of thousands of kilograms. This thing doesn’t eat grass or food, it doesn’t lose its temper, it doesn’t stumble, and it doesn’t get sick. There are so many benefits.”

Qin Xiqing nodded heavily and looked at Fang Zian with admiration in her eyes. However, when her eyes saw the pile of rags, she was immediately brought back to her original state.

"But it doesn't seem to last long. It just took tea time and it fell apart. What's the use? And it seems to be difficult to control. It turned too fast just now, and the water wheel flew out and the blades fell apart.

It's over. This thing shouldn't be usable yet," Qin Xiqing said.

Fang Zian scratched his head and said: "Yeah, that's the problem. Today's success can only prove that this thing can be run. But because the production process is not exquisite enough and some key devices are missing, it cannot last long and cannot control the speed.

Speed. There are also issues with sealing, materials, and manufacturing processes. In short, there are so many problems that are difficult to solve at once. It really gives me a headache."

Qin Xiqing walked slowly to the pile of scrap copper and iron, frowned and looked at it for a while and said: "This is the first time I have seen the shape and style of these things. It seems that it is not easy. I think I have to find some powerful ones."

Only a skilled craftsman can become one. Seeing these strange-shaped things, I think of a person. His name is Su Heng, a famous smelting and forging craftsman in the Song Dynasty. His grandfather Su Song once made a kind of thing called "Water Movement Statue"

The objects on the platform can not only observe the movement of celestial phenomena, but also accurately tell the time. Each hour is accurate to a few quarters, minutes, and breaths. I once saw it in Wuxi

That thing is really exquisite and breathtaking. This Su Heng is the grandson of Su Song. It is said that he has the true inheritance of Su Song and can make all kinds of precision things. Some people say that he made an iron horse that can run automatically on the ground.

.”

Fang Zian said in surprise: "Oh? There is such a person? If it is as you said, he is really a strange person. If this person can help me refine and forge these parts, and come up with a solution together with me, it will be great.

It's good. Can Xiqing help me make a recommendation? I'll talk to him."

Qin Xiqing looked at Fang Zian and said, "I can help you introduce him, and I will definitely be able to find him. But I can't do that for you now."

Fang Zian was surprised and said: "Why is that?"

Qin Xiqing frowned and said, "Have you forgotten that spring is on the ninth day of March? It's less than half a month away from spring, but you are spending your time on these things. Isn't this a waste of time and money? I will help you introduce Na Su

Heng, aren’t you helping Zhou to do evil?”

Fang Zian smiled and said: "I'm serious, I'm serious. Why am I helping the tyrants to do evil? I'm not doing anything bad."

Qin Xiqing said: "I'm just making an analogy. Let's do this. After the Spring Festival, I will introduce you to him. I have to find this person first. It is said that the imperial court asked him to be the chief of Si Tianjian, but he refused. He only wanted to do it for you.

Ordinary people with weird tempers. Even if I find him, I have to know first whether he is willing to understand his situation. It is useless for you to be so anxious. If you listen to me, I will find him for you.

.If you don’t listen, then give up.”

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said: "That's all, it's up to you. Let's talk about it after spring. You all think that I don't do business every day. Chunni doesn't say anything every day, but I know what I'm thinking. That's all, starting tomorrow

I just study behind closed doors."

Qin Xiqing smiled and said, "That's just right. Just study and take the exam. We are all waiting for your good news."

Chuni also smiled happily and thought to herself: "Qin Xiqing has the ability to kill her husband with just a few words. She finally convinced this stubborn donkey."

Next, at Qin Xiqing's request, Fang Zian gave her a brief introduction to the operating principle of the steam engine. Qin Xiqing listened carefully and kept nodding. Not only did she admire Fang Zian's ingenuity, but most people would never think of using the power of steam to do these things.

Qin Xiqing felt that Fang Zian was a mystery more and more from the bottom of her heart. The more contact she had with him and the more she understood him, the more she felt that Fang Zian was covered in fog and it was difficult to see clearly.



Fang Zian kept his promise, put aside the steam engine for the time being, and studied hard behind closed doors. Indeed, spring was coming, and Fang Zian was not unaware of the tight time limit, but the steam engine was indeed something he really wanted to make, so he spent some time

Now, although the prototype machine was scrapped after only operating for a short while, it proved that the memory restored by Fang Zian was basically correct. However, some key points cannot be completely solved for the time being, due to the influence of the manufacturing process.

I can't fully realize the structure on my drawing. This matter really cannot be rushed.
Chapter completed!
