After lunch, Yang Fan directed the workers to install the miniaturized steam engine.
This steam engine was actually ordered by Yang Fan in Hyundai, and was customized with the help of a master from the Roses and Guns group.
By the 1930s, steam engines were basically mature enough to be installed in cars. However, internal combustion engines did not require frequent watering and were more efficient, so steam engines were eliminated.
Chen Xi was surprised to find that Yang Fan's steam engine didn't look very big, but it actually had three pistons and cylinders. She opened her mouth in surprise. She didn't know why it was designed like this.
"Have you measured the temperature of the gas discharged from the cylinder?" Yang Fan asked.
Chen Xi shook her head. She had never measured this before.
"If you think about it, you can understand why steam can push the cylinder and piston to move. It's because water changes from liquid to gas, its volume expands, and the air pressure pushes up the piston, right? A cylinder is an expansion steam engine," Yang Fan said
.
Chen Xi thought about it and found that this was indeed the principle. She asked, "Sir, can a steam engine have multiple cylinders?"
"Yes, when the first cylinder completes its work, the steam will be discharged. Note that the temperature of the steam at this time is very high, and it would be wasted if it is discharged directly. You can enter the second cylinder to continue to perform work and push the piston. Then enter
The third cylinder. After three consecutive times, the temperature drops and there is not enough energy, so it can be discharged. In this way, the thermal energy can be fully utilized and the thermal efficiency can be improved. A steam engine with three cylinders working continuously is called a triple-expansion steam engine."
Chen Xi heard it as if a bolt of lightning flashed in the dark night, and he understood it completely at once.
"However, don't be too ambitious. You can barely walk now, but you can't run. We can't build this machine now. Let's understand the technology of the one-expansion steam engine before talking about anything else. The three-expansion steam engine is built for steel in the future.
The power system prepared by the ship will not be used by us for a while."
Everyone watched as the engine was assembled, and then the gearbox. This thing is high-tech, and Chen Xi spent a lot of energy studying it.
Then the brake system was installed. Yang Fan used the earliest automobile drum brake designed by William Maybach in 1900.
The principle of this thing is very simple, it just requires some materials. Once the basics are explained, everyone can understand it.
Finally, the water tank and fuel tank were installed on the car. The floor was installed on the chassis, and the two rows of seats were installed. The seats are all leather sofa seats.
Finally, the carpenters installed the outer shell frame made of mahogany and fixed it to the chassis by riveting. Finally, the glass was installed on the windows.
The front engine cover can be flipped up on the left and right sides, somewhat similar to the old Jiefang cover, which is convenient for maintenance and adding water and fuel. There is a large trunk at the back, which can hold luggage.
After the entire car was assembled, everyone's eyes lit up.
Lin Yueru and Xiao Niangpi rushed to open the door, but Yang Fan refused.
This car is actually an antique design for modern enthusiasts, and many of the spare parts are designed and manufactured there. Yang Fan just assembles it here. Otherwise, how could he build one so quickly?
The maximum speed of this car has exceeded 35 kilometers per hour. The car has three forward gears and one reverse gear.
Except for the fact that the steering wheel has no power assist and is dead, the rest of it is not much different from the steam cars of 1920. The girls have never had a driver's license or received driving training, and Yang Fan does not dare to let them go crazy.
It doesn't matter if you bump into someone else or one of your own.
"Master, I want to ride in your car." Seeing that there was no hope of driving, Xiao Niangpi immediately shook Yang Fan's arm and begged.
"Sir, I also want to take a ride." Lin Yueru was also red-eyed, and strongly requested to take a ride in the car, and asked Yang Fan to teach her how to drive the car.
Yang Fan had no choice but to let them sit in the front seat. There could be three people in the front seat, just like taxis on Hong Kong Island. Chen Xi and Zhang Shize sat in the back seat. Then they drove around the yard a few times.
Yang Fan found that apart from the trouble of igniting the car, which required an open flame to ignite it. It also had to be preheated and waited for the water to boil and the steam pressure to reach the required level before driving. Driving was actually quite simple.
The speed of more than 30 kilometers is really not very fast. It is the third gear of later generations. It just doesn't accelerate much from the start.
Yang Fan did not expect that he seriously underestimated Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru. Soon he and Zhang Shize were driven out of the car by three tigresses. They drove themselves for a walk.
Zhang Shize was also found and taken away by someone from his family after a while. Only Yao Guang was left with him.
"You came from Zunhua, is there something wrong?" Yang Fan asked.
Yaoguang is a homebody who doesn't like socializing and rarely leaves Zunhua. She set up an energy absorption coordinate there to recharge her own system. It seems inconvenient to change it.
"I'm here to tell you good news." Yao Guang said with a smile.
"Can I go back? The passage has been reopened." Yang Fan asked in surprise.
Yao Guang rolled his eyes and said: "I just want good things, what are you thinking about? We can set up a second teleportation point in modern times. If you have anything that is inconvenient to teleport, you can put the teleportation point outside the country."
"You mean, we can establish a second teleportation point without going back."
"Yes, have you ever played Red Alert? As long as you have a base vehicle, you can set up a new headquarters. I pass a box over, and you ask your people to find a place to settle abroad, and I can set up a new headquarters.
area." Yao Guang said.
Yang Fan felt excited for a while.
In modern times, he has attracted attention from many parties, which is not a good thing for him. It made him dive for a long time.
He urgently needs to find a new development base where no one is paying attention, or where the environment is friendly and he can play his best.
Generally speaking, the more backward and chaotic an area like this is, the better. After all, it’s easy to fish in troubled waters.
Yang Fan calmed down his excitement and asked: "Do you have any good places? Can you recommend one to me?"
"After learning the news, I checked it out for you. At the junction of countries S and K in East Africa, there is a company run by Gaul Chicken, which has built a shipyard and farm. Because the world economy has been in recession in recent years,
They are already heavily in debt. They are planning to sell it and leave. This dock has a closed roof, so the transmission is relatively concealed and is not easily discovered by satellites. You may consider it."
Yang Fan was startled. That country seemed to be in chaos.
Not to mention, there are many warlords, and they are always fighting. It is really a real-life version of the city changing the king's flag. They also have a lot of equipment there: a pair of flip-flops, an AK47 and a pair of swimming trunks. They can drive an assault boat and run to the sea.
Rich guy.
"That land covers fifty square kilometers and is close to the border. As long as you pay taxes every year, the local warlords don't care what you do. They won't care if you fly fighter jets in your territory."
"Is there only one dock in such a large piece of land?"
"In addition to a ship repair yard, there are more than fifty houses. The rest are farms. There are also some local people who work. Not to mention the efficiency of these people's work. In short, you can build according to your own ideas. You can build it according to your own ideas.
There is no shortage of money in modern times. The money from the last gold sale is still in the bank."
