Mo Chen, and Hu Xi'er quietly looked at the two strange things in front of them.
Then a group of people excitedly carried these two things to the mouth of a well and put them down.
Since the establishment of the scientific research office of Wangbei Academy, this thing can be regarded as a crystallization of the combination of Chinese and Western wisdom.
same.
This group of Longyan people and Westerners who are obsessed with scientific research also know what this thing means in this era.
Rhodes couldn't help but get excited. He directed people to slowly put this thing into the well.
These are two large egg-shaped containers.
They first filled it with steam, then closed the air inlet valve. Sprayed cold water outside the container to condense the steam inside the container to form a vacuum.
Then place it in the well water, open the water inlet valve, and the water at the bottom of the well is sucked into the container through the water inlet pipe under the action of atmospheric pressure.
"ah!"
"It's done!"
"Look!"
"Oh My God......"
A group of people shouted excitedly.
Rhodes, with trembling hands, continued to operate.
He then closed the water inlet valve, reopened the steam inlet valve, and relied on steam pressure to force the water in the container out through the drain valve.
When the water in the container is drained and filled with steam, close the steam inlet valve and drain valve, and spray water again to condense the steam.
This cycle was repeated, and under the cheers of everyone, the two egg-shaped containers worked alternately and began to drain water continuously!
Success!
Amazing skills!
Rhodes burst into tears: "This is possible, this is possible! See, see, the energy of steam exists! It can be used!"
Everyone also cheered.
Yes.
This is the world's first steam water lifter!
A few months ago, Liu Zheng flew over with a drawing, and they began to study this steam water pump. At that time, these people still had doubts about the energy that steam could produce.
But today.
What happened before their eyes undoubtedly shocked them.
Mo Chen also took a deep breath: "Source power, source power, this is the source power reform that Young Master said..."
For this group of people engaged in scientific research, this definitely opened the door to a new world.
They need a long, long time to continue studying this topic.
In fact.
Liu Zheng never intended to come up with this drawing - if it weren't for the development of Liaodong that required large-scale coal mining. In history, the steam water pump itself was invented for mining. In previous lives, in the world
The first practical steam water lifter was developed to serve British coal miners.
At that time, manpower and animal power alone could no longer meet the requirements for removing underground water from mines, and there was abundant and cheap coal on site as fuel. The practical needs prompted many people to devote themselves to the exploration and experiment of "fire-powered water extraction."
As a result, the first steam water lifter came into being.
This was also the first steam engine in the world. At this point, the steam age began on the European continent, and the first industrial revolution also came with it.
Liu Zheng didn't dare to do it before.
Why?
Two reasons.
First, the premature appearance of the steam engine will definitely cause great changes in the world structure. This is because it is more than a hundred years earlier than the history of the previous life. The steam engine is no longer a simple butterfly effect.
Therefore, Liu Zheng's worries are not unnecessary.
Second.
Liu Zheng has always understood that advanced productivity requires advanced production relations to match it. But now, how can the decadent system of the Longyan Dynasty, which has lasted for thousands of years, serve this advanced productivity? In other words, once the steam engine appears, what will happen to Longyan?
For the Yan Dynasty, it was definitely a huge challenge and impact.
A deeper analysis shows that the rapid increase in productivity will enhance the status of capital and workers in Longyan.
As the power of the capitalist class and the working class become increasingly powerful, they will naturally hope to obtain further economic and political status. This will inevitably impact Longyan's existing feudal system, and capital, as well as workers, will demand further dismantling.
Feudal oppression, free management, free competition and free trade.
Once this steam engine appears, everything will develop in the direction of fission.
