"Erwin, you have nowhere to escape, I will never forgive you again!"
"Sir, please calm down. I still have something to explain to you."
"No need to explain, it's too late!"
Reggie rushed towards Erwin madly, and Erwin easily hid aside. Reggie turned around and punched Erwin. Erwin grabbed Reggie's wrist and pushed him to the ground.
"Sir, you must listen to my explanation."
"Stop talking nonsense and die, Erwin!"
Erwin let go of Reggie, and Reggie jumped up to grab Erwin's hair. Erwin dodged again, turned around, twisted Reggie's wrist, and pushed Reggie to the ground.
"Still don't want to hear my explanation, sir?"
"I said, suffer death!"
Reggie stood up again, this time he chose to gouge his eyes, but the result was the same. He was knocked down by Erwin again. This time, he decided to give Erwin a chance to explain.
"Sir, I told you that if you want to attack, the first thing to consider is distance, followed by footsteps, instead of focusing all your attention on your hands."
Reggie had to spend an hour every day learning fighting skills. At first, Reggie chose Jiawen because Jiawen was from an orthodox background and every movement and posture was standardized, making the learning process easier for people to accept.
But soon, Reggie got tired of Jarvan. He was disgusted with Jarvan's rigidity and dogma, and instead became keenly interested in Erwin, who had bold and colorful postures.
After two hours of training, Reggie, who was sweating profusely, was very satisfied with today's gains.
"I think I should be able to deal with an ordinary person."
"If the other party is not a soldier, there should be no problem, my lord."
Reggie was about to take a bath when he received a very important message from Calaf.
"Lord, Nolos has completed an important task. The water tank and stopper you want have been cast."
"Water tank and stopper?" Reggie looked at Noros with a confused face.
"Uh... I'm sorry, sir, I still can't remember the names of those things."
"Are you talking about...the cylinder and the piston?" Reggie changed his clothes excitedly and followed Calaf to the First Smelting Plant.
In the history of human civilization, the steam engine plays a decisive role. It represents the beginning of the technological revolution and the arrival of the industrial age. It has completed the great transformation from manual labor to machine production!
When he saw the first cylinder and piston cast by Noros, Reggie had a strong premonition that Shattered Snow City was about to usher in a new era.
Nolos is the well-deserved number one blacksmith. The design of the cylinder is very simple, but the integrated structure and carefully designed details make Reggie see the shadow of the large industrial era.
Seeing Reggie's excited expression, Noros was a little confused.
Although this thing is a bit special, for him, the so-called cylinder and piston are not essentially different from the previous iron bucket and lid.
The cylinder is nothing more than a thick iron barrel with an inch-thick wall, and then it is filled with pipes.
One of the thickest pipes is inserted into the top of the bucket. It looks like a chimney. There is a special lid inside this pipe. The reason why it is special is because a normal lid should be larger than the area covered by it.
It's a little larger, but the diameter of the cap is exactly the same as the inner diameter of the pipe. The pipe is also filled with grease and is slippery, allowing the cap to move up and down in the pipe.
The lord called this three-inch-thick cover a piston. It is said that all the core technologies of the steam engine are on this iron barrel and this piston.
As for other intake pipes, condensation chambers, safety valves, etc., they are all made according to Reggie's instructions. I don't know the specific use. They are just inserting two more pipes and making an extra small iron bucket.
.
Of course, there is also a water boiler used with the cylinder, which the lord calls a boiler.
This boiler really took Nolos a lot of effort. It was not as simple as putting a pot on the stove. Due to technical limitations, Reggie could not build a complete thermal power plant boiler and steam turbine system, but he also could not
Starting from the most primitive steam engine, he will combine the current process capabilities to create a steam engine equipment that is close to modern.
Let’s talk about the furnace first. The furnace is filled with thin water pipes. These water pipes are led from the water tank. After the flame is ignited in the furnace, the water in the water pipes will be heated with extremely high efficiency to generate steam.
Steam and boiling hot water will pour into another iron barrel together. This iron barrel is called a steam-water separator. The steam rises, expands in the cylinder, and pushes the piston to do work. After the work is completed, the steam will enter another iron barrel.
, this iron barrel is called a condensation chamber. The condensation chamber is immersed in water. The steam condenses into water in the condensation chamber, and then passes through the pipes and returns to the boiler for continued heating. This repeats to form a simple steam engine system.
The boiler is finished, the cylinder is finished, and the piston is finished.
The remaining work is assembly and connection, because there is no welding technology yet, threaded connection, combined with soft materials to prevent leakage, has become the best assembly method currently available.
The boiler is connected to the cylinder, the cylinder is connected to the condensation chamber, and the condensation chamber is connected to the boiler. The world's first steam engine is about to be born.
Under Reggie's guidance, the craftsmen began their first trial run.
Because it was a test run, Reggie did not put any weight on the piston and only put a red flag on it.
The craftsmen put the broken charcoal into the furnace. After the fire was ignited, the water in the tube began to boil. The steam from the steam-water separator entered the cylinder. After reaching a certain pressure, it pushed up the piston of the cylinder.
"Did you see it? The piston moved!"
The red flag rose slowly, then fell slowly, rose again after falling, and fell again after rising.
The excited Reggie hugged Noros tightly and said with tears in his eyes: "Did you see it? It moved."
"Ah... ok!" Noros tried his best to cater to Reggie's excited expression. There were ten thousand beasts running rampant in his heart.
It turns out that the Lord just wants a toy that can raise the red flag.
There are many toys like this in Golden Light City. You can buy two for five copper coins, and you don’t need to burn so much charcoal. You only need to pull the rope under the toy.
The lord is too playful. This thing wasted five days of Noros's time. In five days, he can make many more iron barrels. If the lord does not need so many iron barrels, at least let him and his workers have a good rest.
.
It snowed for the first time last night. On a winter day like this, it’s time to hide in the house, hug your wife, eat bacon, drink ale, and listen quietly to the sound of snowflakes falling to the ground.
Instead of facing the hot molten iron and making such a boring toy.
The kilns in Jinguang City have long been extinguished, and the young weapons merchant Ankelide is living a happy winter.
This handsome young man inherited his father's property at the age of fifteen. He owned two workshops and more than a hundred workers. Although he, like all young people, was a little lazy and liked to spend money, the family's wealth gave him a willful temperament.
capital.
He doesn't have a wife yet, but there is never a shortage of girls around him. Right now, he is in a manor outside the city, surrounded by more than a dozen girls, opening a can of wine. If he can drink it all in one go, every time he drinks it,
All girls will be at his mercy.
It doesn't matter if you can't finish the drink, just spend a few more gold coins and give more gifts.
The girls who come here are all ready to be manipulated by him, and they all look forward to being manipulated by him, without even needing any pity.
Ankelide was in very good condition today, and the wine tank quickly reached the bottom. It seemed that these girls were destined to lose.
He wanted to play some new tricks with them, tricks they had never played before.
Just when Ankelide was about to swallow the last sip of wine, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the door, and the violent shaking caused him to spit out all the wine in his mouth.
The girls let out a few screams, but then they all stopped.
The sound of neat horse hooves came from outside the door, sounding like the drumbeat from hell.
The sound of horse hoofbeats stopped, and Nehruv and Salah led a group of soldiers to kick open the door of Ankelid.
The girls were so frightened that they couldn't scream, and Ankelide hid behind the girls.
"Look, look, this seems to be a party," Nehruv said with a smile, "Who is the owner here? You don't mind if we join too!"
Nehruv and his soldiers pounced on the girls. Salah took off his shirt and held Ankelide down with a smile.
