  Chapter 1725 Big Breakthrough

  Zhang Heling's eyes lit up after reading the countless drawings.

  He knows the goods, just looking at the drawings, he probably understands that his brother has a brand new idea.

He lowered his head and looked at it seriously, and grinned his teeth and said: "Xishan Academy, and those **** in the Steam Research Institute, they only want to make 'baby' all day long, but they don't know that the real treasure lies in saving money. , I can’t save money, what do you want this baby for? Brother, I’ve disliked these things a long time ago, or we brothers... are really decent people... how did you come up with it?"

Zhang Yanling tilted his head and thought for a while: "Brother, I was hungry and hungry, so I thought, if there is some porridge, it would be enough for one meal to cover two meals. When I thought about it this way, I thought of coal. If a pot of coal , One pot is worth two pots, isn’t it good?”

  Zhang Heling's eyes widened immediately, and he slapped his forehead: "It's extremely, it's extremely..."

He cheered up: "Let's think about it carefully, two brothers, and verify if there is any problem. If the drawing is verified correctly, send it to the steam research institute, and let the steam research institute build a machine according to the drawing. Let's try it out, maybe... it will be done? I calculated the account, the railway will be repaired in the future, and the operating cost will still remain high. It's all money..."

When it comes to money, Zhang Heling has to think of all his wealth that has been robbed, and he can't help but burst into tears, and his whole body feels like twitching again. Fortunately, his strong belief prevented him from fainting, so he sucked his nose , wiped his nostrils with his cuff, and his gaze was like a torch again, carefully examining the data in every place.

Having been immersed in this steam engine for a long time, Zhang Heling has become more and more aware of the principle of the steam engine. It cannot be simpler. For the latest steam engine, he has already been able to memorize every part of the data. Therefore, he only has to look at every part of the design in the drawing. , you know what it is for, the more you look at it... the more interesting it becomes.

  Of course, there are many loopholes in Zhang Yanling's drawings. Zhang Heling asked one or two occasionally, and Zhang Yanling answered them one by one.

  In the early winter of Luoyang, the wind is bitterly cold at night, but this work shed is leaking from all sides.

  The two brothers were so cold that they wrapped their clothes, and the snot flowed out again. They wiped it with their cuffs, so that the cuffs were dry and wet, wet and dry.

   After two days, these blueprints were packed and sent to the Capital Steam Research Institute overnight.

  The design plans are all in the drawings, and now...the only thing missing is verification.

   Verification needs to spend money, of course the Zhang family can't pay this money, let the steam research institute pay.

  The next day, the two brothers packed their bags again.

  Wu Xiong didn't know whether he was crying with joy or reluctantly, anyway, he was crying and sent the Zhang brothers to the ferry all the way. Seeing the two brothers board the boat, he cried even harder, so he waved the scarf on his head.

  Two brothers, continue westward.

  ...

   Things arrived in the capital soon, and the steam research institute got a package from the Zhang family brothers, so it didn't care.

  The dignitaries of the research institute avoid the Zhang family brothers like snakes and scorpions!

   Everyone has shadows on these two brothers! These two brothers came here every now and then to ask about the steam engine. Whoever has the patience to answer them, everyone can't finish the experiment.

After leaving the capital, they came here every now and then to revise books, asking about various mechanical theories, and begging the professor to send some materials to him. Of course, at the end of the letter, he said that if it is convenient, it would be better to send some bacon and dried fruits.

Although there are all kinds of people with weird tempers in the research institute, it seems that such a strange request has never been seen before. I am asking for advice, begging for some materials and books, and at the end, what the **** is it to send bacon and dried fruits? .

  So everyone is unwilling to accept the package from the Zhang brothers.

   Can't afford to provoke or hide?

  So... Zeng Chang, a pink newcomer who just entered the research institute, became the recipient of the package.

  He was called by his senior, who praised him from the bottom of his heart, and when he was excited, he took the package with both hands.

Not long after Zeng Chang entered the research institute, he had just graduated from Xishan Academy. He was doing experiments with his senior, seeing the entrusted expression on his senior's face, and listening to the earnest instruction, Zeng Chang peeled off the package excitedly, and then... saw Scattered drawings.

  He didn't dare to take it lightly, and immediately began to sort it out. There were as many as a hundred of these drawings, and he was dazzled.

  After that, he began to study these blueprints, and the more he read, the more he felt... a little strange...

  This is a brand new design, the one who sent the package...is still Lord Hou...

   What does it mean here?

   Zeng Chang began to go around in and out of the database room, looking for relevant theories like looking for clues.

  But soon he discovered that some theories could not be searched no matter what.

   Zeng Chang took a breath.

  At this time, the Institute is no longer what it was ten years ago.

  Ten years ago, everything was blank, and various theories were put forward, refreshing everyone's cognition, but now... it is becoming more and more difficult to come up with new theories.

  After all... the predecessors have walked the road, making the future people more and more feel that there is no way to go.

  Can now...

do not care.

   Zeng Chang did not scoff at this new thing, he found a way to verify it.

It is very simple to verify, take some old structures in the laboratory, put them together, and then make some simple devices according to the new ideas. There is no need to build a steam locomotive, just to see if it is feasible first, and if so Only if it is feasible, more funds need to be applied for in-depth research.

  There are a lot of equipment in the laboratory, everything is available, and because it is only for the purpose of the experiment, everything is improvised.

   Soon... a new thing was born.

   Zeng Chang invited several craftsmen to try.

  First coal burning, then steam, then... rumbling...

   Zeng Chang recorded the experimental data unbelievably, and he found...his hands were shaking.

   Shaking badly.

  Damn it...

In a traditional steam engine, the cylinder and the condenser are integrated, but the change here is very simple, that is, to separate the two, not only that, but also add an air extraction pump to the steam engine, and install a new one on the outer wall of the cylinder An interlayer, after heating the cylinder wall with competing air, can greatly reduce the loss caused by condensation.

  This thing looks simple...but in fact...it directly subverts the research direction of steam engines in the past.

  The previous steam engine research direction is to continuously enhance its steam power so that the locomotive can achieve greater kinetic energy.

  But now...the waste of steam is reduced by reducing the loss of steam, which not only reduces the loss of coal, but the most frightening thing is...Zeng Chang discovered from the data that the power of the steam locomotive...has increased.

   Zeng Chang's eyes were red.

  He suddenly felt as if he had stepped into a new research direction.

  The previous theory was not wrong, but just in the wrong direction.

   He took a deep breath.

   Excitedly took the data, wanting to find those big shots in the research institute.

   But then... he realized something.

   No, I'm taking it now, I'm afraid they may not be willing to take a look at it, unless...

  Weekly...

   Zeng Chang took the experimental data without hesitation and stayed behind closed doors. Immediately afterwards, a paper was written.

  The title of the thesis is also a word mentioned several times in the drawings and manuscripts—Fei Xiao.

  Fee-efficiency theory!

   Zeng Chang did not dare to mention his name on the paper. The first author of this paper was Zhang Heling, followed by Zhang Yanling, and finally... he signed his name very selfishly.

   Immediately... submit the manuscript, and then wait anxiously for the result.

  ...

   "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

   On this day, on a sunny day after winter, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were doing homework in Fengtian Temple.

  Fang Jifan, a cabinet scholar, is at ease. He doesn't stay in the cabinet much, but he is a frequent visitor to Fengtian Temple.

   At this time, Liu Jin rushed in scramblingly, saying in his mouth: "Your Majesty, the latest weekly magazine, the latest weekly magazine has arrived."

  Zhu Houzhao is very concerned about the weekly magazine. After all, he is also an industry insider. He reads it occasionally and knows something in his heart.

  Hearing that the weekly magazine is coming, he opened his eyes slightly, and said cheerfully to Fang Jifan: "Nowadays, these people are getting more and more disappointing..."

  As he spoke, he bowed his head casually, and then... his eyes fell on the first paper, and his expression was a little different.

"what?"

   "Old Fang, come here." Zhu Houzhao said in surprise.

  Fang Jifan stepped forward to take a look, and immediately understood the reason for Zhu Houzhao's strangeness.

   "Institute, is there a dog named Zhang Heling?"

  Fang Jifan said very seriously: "There is no research institute, but there is one in His Majesty's home."

  Zhu Houzhao said: "Nonsense, what do they know, and they also come to join in the fun? The way of science... is..."

   Having said this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly fell silent.

because…

  The thesis, he didn't care to read it, Zhu Houzhao didn't like the two uncles.

But... At the bottom of the paper, there is also a citation of some experimental data. Zhu Houzhao knows steam locomotives very well. Just looking at the above data, his face suddenly changed: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, how much did the weekly magazine accept them?" Yin Zi, such data dares to be recorded indiscriminately."

Fang Jifan also frowned, in fact...he knew the general principle of the steam engine, but the real details, although Fang Jifan was a man for two generations, Fang Jifan didn't know anything, he was more like a guide, pointing out the direction, saying that the principle of steam can be Building cars, the rest...is the business of Zhu Houzhao and countless disciples and grandchildren. Fang Jifan seemed to understand, he pondered for a long time, hesitantly said: "This thing, this thing... ah... um..."
