Since Owen no longer needs to go to the cement workshop to help, he has gone to the blacksmith shop more often. Although he has the steam engine drawings, he is still uneasy and has to control the quality himself.

As expected, the blacksmiths were not sure about the detailed data on the drawings. Owen needed to build a standard ruler first to unify the length standard. Unexpectedly, he would unify the degrees in weights and measures here, and then he would gradually unify other units of physical quantities and

standard.

During the manufacturing process, Owen's requirements for other components are not so high. As long as the error is not too large, there will be no problem. Only the components of the cylinder and piston are extremely demanding, and they are always required to be remade if they do not meet the standards.

This made the blacksmiths complain endlessly. Is it necessary to be so harsh?

In addition, the gas pipeline was extremely troublesome to manufacture. Although they were a little dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything due to Owen's identity. They just had to do as they were asked, and the money was given quite a lot anyway.

deficit.

Gita is one of the only three blacksmiths in Bianzhu Town. He has a rough appearance, a majestic body and bronze skin.

He had been a little troubled recently because his blacksmith shop was closest to the castle. As a result, the lord requested that all the steam engine parts jointly manufactured by the three blacksmith shops be piled up in his place, which took up too much space.

Yes, it was too time-consuming to build a steam engine with just one blacksmith shop, so Owen called in all the blacksmiths and their apprentices in the town, and each family divided a part to make the required parts.

Seeing the pile of iron lumps with no idea of ​​what they were for, Gita felt irritated. She didn't know when the lord would come over to complete it. It couldn't be assembled yet. He said it would take some time to develop new magic to weld the small parts together.

.

But how long will it take to wait? If new magic cannot be transformed, will it just remain piled here? He doesn't dare to deal with the lord's things at will.

No, I have to find time to explain to the lord and ask him to transfer the pile of parts to him first, Gita made a decision in her heart.

At this time, an apprentice holding a big hammer in both hands and responsible for forging reminded him: "Master, why don't you stop hammering? Why are you standing there in a daze?"

"Oh! Damn it!"

After coming back to her senses, Gita quickly picked up a small hammer and struck the red-hot iron billet.

He actually fell into a daze at work, it was all because of those iron lumps, he cursed in his mind.

"Master, the Marquis is here!" Another apprentice suddenly ran in and shouted.

"Let's go out and take a look."

Putting the iron billet back into the furnace with an iron clamp, Gita and his apprentice quickly put down their equipment and walked out of the shop to meet the lord.

When Owen and his party came to the blacksmith's shop, they said without any nonsense that their purpose was to weld small parts of the steam engine.

This excited Gita so much that the lord finally came to deal with the pile of iron lumps. He and his apprentices moved the parts one by one to an uninhabited open space not far away, and they moved very diligently.

Owen first took out four identical curved iron plates from the parts collection. These are components of the cylinder and can form a complete cylindrical shape.

Use the fireball technique with your right hand, move it to the top of the finger, and then stuff a hot magic stone into the palm of your hand. This can reduce the consumption of magic power and increase the temperature. Then follow the previously mastered method to turn the fireball technique into blue on the fingertips.

Flame.

This time, the opening opened by Owen was smaller than last time, and the length of the flame was only about 12 centimeters.

After fixing the two iron plates and fitting them closely, Owen held a long thin iron bar in his left hand, raised the high-temperature flame on the fingertips of his right hand, and began to weld.

When the flame falls on the joint of the two iron plates, the high temperature causes the edges of the two iron plates to melt. The molten iron fuses together, forming a molten pool. Then the thin iron bars are stretched over, and the molten iron melts from the iron bars.

Full molten pool.

Welding continued like this all the way. Fortunately, Owen had practiced welding in a dream, and the first actual combat went smoothly.

After welding one side, reduce the magic output and weld again at the same position on the back.

After the welding was completed, Owen checked the joint. It was very strong and a perfect weld.

[Oh, that’s good, you are already a qualified welder.] Winster praised with a hint of ridicule.

【Humph, of course.】

Embarrassingly, Owen didn't hear it.

Others watched with curiosity as Owen performed the welding work. When they saw the two iron plates firmly "glued" together, they all exclaimed in surprise.

Especially Gita. He was very surprised. After so many years of working as a blacksmith, it was the first time he saw two iron plates connected together in this way. Unlike bolts and willow joints, this method is more stable and reliable.

In addition to being amazed, Gita felt even more regretful. Obviously only a magician could do this method, and she was destined to miss him.

Next, the other two iron plates were welded together in the same way, and a cylindrical cylinder was produced. Irving handed it to Gita's apprentices and asked them to polish away the traces of fluid in the molten iron.

After that, Owen successively welded some small parts into large parts, and all the parts of the steam engine were completed.

Finally, with everyone's help, a dark and huge steam engine was assembled.

This seemingly simple big machine has a different kind of beauty in Owen's eyes. Because it contains the beauty of technology, it is a powerful machine that anyone can easily use.

Of course, this is just the first version of the steam engine, so it naturally has some shortcomings. When better technical conditions are available in the future, we will build a steam engine with better performance.

[Ah! This is a memorable moment. The first steam engine was manufactured in Bianzhu Town.] Winster said with emotion.

"Wow! It looks amazing."

After circling the steam engine, Fanny stretched out her hand and knocked it, then turned to Owen and asked, "What can this big guy do?"

"It can move on its own and is extremely powerful. It can be used in many places that require a lot of effort," Irving explained.

Hearing this, Gita immediately turned her head away, covering her mouth and snickering.

Many parts of this so-called steam engine were installed by him himself. Therefore, he knew very well that this was just a heavy lump of iron. Can this kind of thing move by itself? Are you kidding me?

It’s true that today’s aristocrats like to do some messy things and boast some whimsical lies.

Shaking his head helplessly, Gita called a few apprentices to go back to work. Anyway, they had already helped the lord assemble the machine, so there was nothing for him to do now.

Like Gita, Fanny doesn't believe that the steam engine will move on its own, while Mapel is trying to convince herself to believe in Owen.

Owen understood this. Most people wouldn't believe it until they saw the steam engine running on its own. If he didn't fully understand the operating principle of the steam engine, he certainly wouldn't believe it either.

"You guys will watch it later and you will naturally believe what I say."

Asking Gita's blacksmith for water and charcoal, Owen poured the water into the boiler, added charcoal beneath it, and lit it with the fireball spell.

"Boil water?" Fanny whispered.

Owen didn't speak, just waited quietly. When he saw the blueprint of the steam engine for the first time, he thought it was a stove for boiling water, and was "praised" by Winster, saying that he had discovered the secret to the development of human technology - that is

Change the pattern to boil water.

After ten minutes of waiting, the water in the boiler was boiled, and you could hear the gurgling sound inside.

Soon, there was a snapping sound in the cylinder, which seemed to be filled with steam. Then, an exciting scene came, the piston moved, and it pushed the connecting rod and began to move outward.

Under the action of the double connecting rods, the iron wheel accelerated and rotated, and soon the speed reached the current maximum value. Standing next to him, Owen could feel the airflow caused by the rotation of the iron wheel, and how much meaning it contained.

A powerful force.

The machine was trembling slightly, making an unpleasant and harsh roar, and the exhaust hole kept spitting out white mist.

Seeing such a scene, Fanny and Mapel beside them were already stunned.

How wonderful! Watching the steam engine successfully operate, Owen couldn't help but indulge in it.
Chapter completed!
