When coal encounters fire, it begins to burn blazingly, emitting green smoke and tongues of flame.
Soon, the water in the boiler was heated, and the water flow surged in the pipes, making a sound similar to the flow of fine sand.
Buzz!
A steam engine emits a low roar, caused by the high pressure and flow of steam, which travels inside the engine.
Bang bang!
As the steam enters the cylinder, people hear the metallic oscillation sound emitted by the steam engine. These sounds come from the mechanical impact of the piston and connecting rod, with a certain rhythm, getting faster and faster.
Click, click, click!
Driven by the piston, the steam pushes the piston rod upward, transmitting power to the external mechanical device, and the rotating shaft begins to run, full of power!
…
"Success!" Zhang Yi shouted.
People shouted in surprise and jumped up.
It was a miracle to successfully ignite it in one go, and it was like a dream.
Xiao Liu excitedly threw herself into Zhang Yi's arms and cried loudly. She knew what this meant, that everything Zhang Yi had said would become reality one by one.
Zhang Yi took a deep breath. In the factory filled with the smell of burnt smoke, the scent of jasmine on Xiaoliu's body seemed particularly fresh and pleasant.
His eyes were moist, and he knew that this was not a creation, but was made according to the drawings in the science and technology books, and it would definitely start normally.
Even so, it is incredibly difficult.
Because this is a wasteland world, there are too many difficulties to solve. The credit belongs to the research team, the blacksmith, and everyone involved in this project!
After the carnival, everyone calmed down and listened silently.
The operation of a steam engine produces a series of unique sounds, from clicks to oscillations, buzzes and flows. These sounds are intertwined with each other to create a unique and wonderful mechanical atmosphere.
This is a powerful mechanical force that never tires.
"Everyone, take turns to observe and keep running uninterrupted!" Zhang Yi arranged.
"Yes, Yi Ge!" Everyone shouted in unison. Among so many titles, the word "Yi Ge" is the most affectionate and best reflects people's love for Zhang Yi.
The next step is the durability test to see if any problems will occur when the steam engine is running day and night.
"This is the first steam engine in our world," Xiaolong said with emotion, "Congratulations to my brother, congratulations to my brother, we have opened a new era!"
"That's right, Xiaolong," Zhang Yi laughed loudly, "Remember this day, November 29, 2103, we built the first steam engine in the wasteland world. With this powerful power, we
Can create more miracles.”
"Hahaha, hahahaha!" Everyone laughed and applauded, excited.
"By the way, Xiaolong, how is the work of your electrical team?" Xiaoliu asked with a smile.
Xiaolong's team is responsible for the development of generators and other tasks, which is also extremely important.
"We have figured out the principle of the generator, sister-in-law," Xiaolong said confidently, "We have collected the raw materials needed to make the generator. Now, Brother Hu's blacksmiths can use their hands to build the generator!"
"You have to trust Xiaolong," Zhang Yi said to Xiaoliu with a smile, "don't worry about leaving it to him."
In fact, Zhang Yi participated in the research and development of each group and knew the progress of the work very well. Xiaoliu could only ask about the results because he did not understand.
"Now that we have our hands free, we can build the generator now!" Tiejiang Hu laughed, rubbing his rough hands with joy.
This eldest brother has a will of steel. With the help of Xiao Han, he upgraded the blacksmith shop into a steelmaking plant. The hardships and difficulties involved were extremely huge.
"There's no rush, Brother Hu." Zhang Yi said.
He looked at Blacksmith Hu and his group of hard-hitting men with distress. They were all dark-skinned, their clothes were so dirty that no color could be seen, and their eyes were bloodshot. For nearly a month, they didn't look back.
Home.
It is not easy to build a large boiler, small piston, connecting rod and rotating shaft by hand!
Every component is hammered and hammered out by the blacksmiths using their own strength!
This is a group of warriors, and their merits are no less than those of the heroes who charged forward on the battlefield and achieved brilliant results!
"I want to award you a medal," Zhang Yi said with emotion and excitement. "Xiaohan, design a gold badge called the Creation Day Commemorative Medal. Everyone who participates in the steam engine project can get it."
"Yes, not only can you win badges by fighting, people who invent and create are also great!" Xiaoliu said.
The speeches of the two men attracted warm applause.
"Yes, Brother Yi, we will cast a Creation Day commemorative medal soon." Xiao Han nodded.
"Brother Hu!" Zhang Yi shouted.
"Here, please give instructions to Brother Yi!" Tiejiang Hu took a step forward and said.
"You lead the blacksmiths to leave the factory and go home to rest for two days, take a shower, and spend time with your wife and children," Zhang Yi carefully arranged. "The day after tomorrow, we will hold a celebration banquet at the palace, and you will all attend."
"What about the generator?" Tiejiang Hu asked.
"Listen to my brother, don't be in a hurry, Brother Hu," Xiaolong laughed. "The manufacture of a generator is much simpler than a steam engine. I think it will take more than ten days to build it. We will wait for the celebration party."
Let’s get started!”
Hu Tiejiang scratched his long beard and it became tangled. He thought for a while, raised his head and said, "Brother Yi, I have an idea. Don't blame me if I tell you."
"What's there to blame? Brother Hu, just say it."
"I think it's best to build the generator in one go and then hold a celebration party. No matter how much the brothers drink at that time, otherwise, they'll always be pretending to be wrong and won't be able to let go of their drinking."
"Um……"
To be honest, this is the first time someone has refuted Zhang Yi's decision. Zhang Yi scanned the audience and found that everyone was smiling and nodding. Hu Tiejiang's words made sense.
"Okay, let's drink after we finish the job," Zhang Yi said calmly, "but you must rest..."
"It's enough to rest for one day, Brother Yi," Hu Tiejiang said, "Brothers, take a day off tomorrow, take a shower, change clothes, and start building a generator the day after tomorrow!"
What can Zhang Yi say? Apart from being moved, he can only nod.
"Okay, because of Brother Hu's attitude, I have to offer you three more glasses of wine on the day of the celebration!" Xiao Liu cupped his hands to express his admiration.
Tiejiang Hu was flattered and bowed and nodded repeatedly, and everyone laughed loudly.
With such an iron-clad team, nothing is impossible. Zhang Yi's heart is full of ambition and pride. The future world is clearly visible. He will lead everyone to the ends of the earth and plant the dragon flag all over the world!
