Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    From the end of August to September, there were frequent good news in Hebei. The behemoth Yuan Shao's regime that once attracted the attention of the world suddenly collapsed!  When the news came, it was so shocking that people in Xudu almost couldn't believe their ears.  And then, a series of victories continued to spread, and people slowly accepted this result.

    Under the planning of the Privy Council Staff Headed by Guo Jia, the progress of the armies was so smooth that it was unbelievable.

    Sizhou, with the close cooperation between Zhang Yan and the Sima clan, the main force of Yuan Tan's invading army was wiped out at the Mengjin Ferry in Sizhou!  Also perishing with them were the Hongnong Yang family, a century-old family that had been passed down from the Western Han Dynasty to the present, the Hedong Wei family, the descendants of General Wei Qingwei, and nearly 60% of the descendants of the wealthy families in Sizhou.  The ground in Sizhou was completely clear!

    In Jizhou, after Zhao Yun's Weiyuan Army crossed the river, everything went smoothly. They opened two landing points one after another and swept across the Hebei Plain.  Those who expelled Yuan Shao had no choice but to flee back to Bingzhou in a hurry, while Youzhou, under the general situation, simply abandoned their weapons and surrendered!  The Youzhou cavalry and the elite soldiers of Yan and Zhao in the past have now succumbed to the iron hoof of the Central Atomic Brother!

    After the news of Yuan Tan's fall in Sizhou came back to Bingzhou, Yuan Shaoyi became ill and passed away a few days later. Two sons, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, were left to compete for the throne. Yuan Shang used Shenpei's military power to successfully kill Yuan Xi and save the throne.  He has seized the power he has been waiting for for a long time, and just looks around to see where there is any place for him to survive!

    Celestial Master Ming Wang Li Zhe¡¯s reputation is once again astonishing!  The propaganda of Tianshi Dao has once again reached a climax. Every day, there are endless reports of good news coming from everywhere, descriptions of battle conditions, interviews with generals in the army, and victory speeches of soldiers at the bottom, which makes many  Everyone in the city felt the same way.

    But all the soldiers who have won the victory have no intention of stopping their conquest. The boundaries of the battle continue to spread to all sides!

    The people of the Central Plains finally realized that the current Ming Dynasty will be the most prosperous and prosperous era in Chinese history!  Under the military power of the Han family, no matter how remote the place, no matter how ferocious the nation, they will all be tamed hawks and dogs by the Han family, waiting for their fate, either complete surrender or complete destruction!

    Strong man!  Strong man!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    It¡¯s just that at this moment, Tianshi Ming Wang Li Zhe, who has been staying in Xudu to educate Tianshi Tao children¡¯s camp for this period of time, is not in Xudu to enjoy the joy of this victory. His king is staying in Xiangcheng!

    Stopping the dragon chariot, Li Zhegang wanted to step out.

    "Kings!"

    "Your Majesty!" A group of people lay on the ground, kneeling in a large area of ??darkness, and saluted Li Zhe's royal chariot.

    Li Zhe was not interested in this. He had repeatedly called for the abolition of kneeling in public. However, cultural inertia is tenacious and does not change based on the ruler's preferences.  The prostrate kneeling ceremony was not a common etiquette in the Han Dynasty. It was only used on important occasions when facing the ancestors of heaven and earth. However, to these people, Li Zhe's prestige at this time was already greater than that of his ancestors.  , almost as high as heaven and earth, but this kind of kneeling is a natural group behavior. It is often performed by one person, and the group follows suit, and it is forbidden repeatedly!  Over time, Li Zhe had to adapt.  It¡¯s just that this usually doesn¡¯t happen!

    Li Zhe walked out of the dragon chariot, returned the salute, and moved on!

    This time I came to Xiangcheng to see the successful imitation of a tool of great significance - the steam engine!

    In fact, in the craftsman camp under Li Zhe's rule, the steam engine imitation project had already started very early. However, Li Zhe's scientific research strength was weak at that time, his knowledge reserve of modern mechanics, thermodynamics and mechanical engineering was not enough, and he lacked processing capabilities!  So the design drawings Li Zhe brought from Hyundai are there, and the physical model is there, as well as various materials: steel, rubber, etc., but they can't be made into a practical finished product!

    Now, after more than a year of experimental manufacturing and numerous failures, news finally came from the trade union's leadership of the Academy of Engineering that the steam engine imitation project, led by Ma Jun, a well-known scientist from the Academy of Engineering, organized manpower to tackle key problems and has achieved success.  Staged success!  This made Li Zhe ecstatic!  This thing is the forerunner of industrial revolution, a leap forward that breaks the natural limitations of manpower!

    When we arrived at the factory, what we saw was a large machine with a width of about two to three meters, but the base was nailed directly to the ground. It was estimated to weigh at least a dozen tons.  The parts on the fuselage are crude and each one is huge, which fully demonstrates the lack of metal smelting and processing technology under Li Zhe's rule at this time. Next to it is a vertical steam boiler connected through a duct.

    This steam engine is a replica of the Watt-modified engine in history.The one that was built had some slight improvements and consisted of a cylinder, a base, a piston, a crank connecting rod mechanism, a slide valve steam distribution mechanism, a speed regulating mechanism and a flywheel.  It is a horizontal bar horizontal steam engine.

    The so-called steam engine uses the expansion activity of steam as power and converts it into mechanical energy for people to use.  In a steam boiler, water boils into steam through a combustion process.  Steam is sent to the cylinder through pipes.  The valve controls the time when the steam reaches the cylinder, enters the slide valve chamber through the main steam valve and the throttle valve, and is controlled by the slide valve to alternately enter the left or right side of the cylinder to push the piston to move.  The steam pushes the piston in the cylinder to do work, and the cooled steam is introduced into the condenser through the pipe to condense back into water.  This process is repeated as the steam engine moves, and the cycle continues.  The steam engine converts the repeated up and down motion of the piston into rotational motion, which becomes the mechanical power that people want.

    In the development process of this steam engine, the most crucial link for the craftsmen was the mature application of flywheel device, crank connecting rod mechanism and air tightness issues, which involve the strength of metal materials, forging processing capabilities, and  The calculation of thermodynamic power pressure, calculation of reasonable reduction ratio of the transmission system, etc. cannot be solved for a while.

    Over the past year or so, the spread of calculus knowledge, the promotion of thermodynamics and mechanics theory, the in-depth deduction and calculation of the gas expansion process, and the progress of metal technology have enabled these parts to be solved to some extent.  Ma Jun himself is a leader in Mohist mechanical skills and has in-depth research on various mechanical transmission mechanisms.  He led everyone to successfully build the steam engine after a long period of improvement.  This finished product can be used stably. The initial speed can reach 60 to 80 rpm, and the steam pressure has reached 0.32 MPa.  Its power and efficiency are already considerable!

    The successful development of the steam engine was an epoch-making event in human history. The previous pulley cranes, no matter how simple they were, could only be regarded as labor-saving devices and did not fundamentally solve the power problem of human production activities. However, animal power and hydraulic machinery  , there are also many problems in its use, which is far from the steam engine.

    The emergence of steam engines will greatly solve the power problems in industrial production. After modification, they will be able to handle many aspects of work.

    After it is converted into a stamping machine, the efficiency of stamping armor in military production will be greatly increased. This alone will greatly save manpower and improve the production efficiency of armor manufacturing. Once spread, this item alone can free up at least  With the emergence of tens of thousands of experienced blacksmiths, the quality and output of forged armor will also be qualitatively improved.

    As for other places, it can be said that there are too many places where it can be modified and applied. It can be modified and applied in almost any place that requires power, such as mining, excavation, forging, metal processing, lathes, transportation power, ships, and even  Power generation, throughout mankind¡¯s industrial revolution era, it is almost everywhere!

    With it, the great machine industry of Li Zhe's Three Kingdoms time and space industrial society is within easy reach.  And it can be expected that the entire society will make great strides towards the industrial age!

    The number of industrial workers under Li Zhe's rule has exceeded one million, and they are anxiously waiting for these things that can quickly improve production efficiency to enter the field of production on a large scale!

    The drastic changes in society follow this trajectory!

    Ideological emancipation, scientific and technological progress, market cultivation and industrial scale expansion complement each other!  The cheating device owned by Li Zhe is unprecedentedly powerful. Coupled with the guidance that conforms to the basic laws of society, he can achieve today's glory!  (To be continued.
