Chapter 1681: Big Breakthrough
Zhang Heling looked at these countless drawings and his eyes were already shining.
He is aware of the goods. He only looks at the drawings and roughly understands that his brother has a brand new idea.
While looking down, he grinned and said, "The dogs from Xishan Academy and Steam Research Institute are all thinking about making 'baby', but they don't know that the real treasure is to save money, but not money. What do you want this baby to do? Brother has long disliked these dogs, or are we brothers... who are really good-looking people... How did you think of it?"
Zhang Yanling tilted his head and thought, "Brother, I'm hungry, so I thought, if there is any porridge, I can just take two meals. When I think about it, I think of coal. If it's one pot of coal, one pot of two pots, wouldn't it be fine?"
Zhang Heling suddenly widened his eyes and slapped his forehead: "Yes, so they are so..."
He cheered up: "We brothers, let's take a closer look and verify whether there is any problem. If the drawings are verified correctly, I will send them to the Steam Research Institute and let the Steam Research Institute build one according to the drawings to try it. Maybe... it will be done? I calculated the account. In the future, the cost of operating the railway will remain high. This is all money..."
When it comes to money, Zhang Heling had to think of all his wealth that he had been stolen. He couldn't help but burst into tears, and he felt like he was about to twitch. Fortunately, his strong belief made him not faint. He sucked his nose, wiped his cuffs, and his eyes were like torches again, carefully checking the data in each place.
After immersing in this steam engine for a long time, Zhang Heling became more and more aware of the principles of the steam engine. It was so simple that it could not be simple. He could already memorize the data of each part of the latest steam engine, so he knew what it was for when he looked at every design in the drawings. The more he looked at it... the more interesting it felt.
Of course, there were many loopholes in Zhang Yanling's drawings. Zhang Heling occasionally asked a question, and Zhang Yanling answered one by one. The two brothers immediately showed a painful expression and began to scrape their stomachs and think of alternative solutions.
In early winter in Luoyang, the wind was biting at night, but the shed was leaking from all sides.
The two brothers were so cold that they wrapped their clothes, and their noses were flowing out in a bad mood. They wiped them with their cuffs, so that the cuffs became dry and wet, wet and dry.
Two days later, the drawings were packed and ordered people to be sent to the Beijing Steam Institute overnight.
All the design plans are in the drawings, and now... the only thing missing is verification.
The verification requires money, so of course the Zhang family cannot pay the money and let the Steam Research Institute pay.
The next day, the two brothers put on their luggage again.
Wu Xiong didn't know whether he was crying with joy or reluctant to leave, but he was crying anyway, and kept sending the Zhang brothers to the ferry. Seeing that the two brothers boarded the boat, they cried even harder, so he waved the square scarf on his head.
The two brothers continued to go west.
……………………
The things arrived at the capital soon, and the Steam Research Institute received a package from the Zhang brothers, so I didn't care.
The big names in the institute are like snakes and scorpions to the Zhang brothers!
Everyone has a shadow on these two brothers! These two brothers once came to ask about the steam engine every now and then. Whoever has the patience to answer them will have to be able to finish the experiment.
After that, they left the capital, and they came to study books every now and then, what is this thing, what is that, what is it, what does it do, and every detail. They asked about various mechanics theories, and begged the professors to send some information. Of course, at the end of the letter, they also said seriously that if it is convenient, they could send some bacon and dried fruits together.
Although there are all kinds of strange people in the research institute, such strange requests are unprecedented. Here we are asking for advice, begging for some information and books, and finally letting them send bacon and dried fruits.
Therefore, no one wants to accept the packages of the Zhang brothers.
Can't you afford to offend?
So... Zeng Chang, a young and tender newcomer who had just entered the institute, became the recipient of the package.
He was called by his senior, and praised him sincerely. 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 and followed his senior to do experiments. Looking at the senior's expression of entrusting to him, and listening to the earnest teachings, Zeng Chang was excited to peel off the package, and then... he saw the scattered drawings.
He didn't dare to take it lightly, and immediately started to sort out the drawings. There were as many as a hundred of them, and they were dazzled. After a day of sorting them out, he barely got a glimpse.
After that, he began to study these drawings, and the more he read them, the more he felt... something strange...
This is a brand new design, the package is sent... or the Marquis...
What does it mean here?
Zeng Chang began to go around in the data warehouse, searching for relevant theories as he followed the map.
But soon he discovered that some theories could not be found anyway.
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 proposed, refreshing everyone's cognition, but now... it is becoming increasingly difficult to propose new theories.
After all... the predecessors have walked through the road, which makes people feel increasingly unstoppable.
But now...
No matter what.
Zeng Chang did not sneer at this new thing, he found a way to verify it.
It is very simple to verify. Take some old constructions in the laboratory, piece together, and then make some simple devices according to the new ideas. There is no need to build a steam locomotive. You just need to see if it is feasible. If it is feasible, you need to apply for more funds and conduct in-depth research.
There are many equipment in the laboratory, and everything is available, and because it is only for the purpose of experiments, everything is done.
Soon...a new thing was born.
Zeng Chang invited a few craftsmen to try it out.
First, coal burned, then steam filled the sky, then... rumbling...
Zeng Chang recorded the experimental data incredibly, and he found... his hands were trembling.
It's trembling very much.
Damn...
In traditional steam engines, the cylinder and condenser are integrated, but the change here is very simple, which is to separate the two. Not only that, an air pump is added to the steam engine, and a mezzanine is installed on the outer wall of the cylinder. After heating the cylinder wall with a staggered gas, the losses caused by condensation can be greatly reduced.
This thing looks simple...but in fact...it directly subverts the previous research direction of steam engines.
The previous research direction of steam engines was to continuously enhance its steam power so that the locomotive could have greater kinetic energy.
But now... it is to reduce the loss of steam to reduce the waste of steam, which not only reduces the loss of coal, but the most terrifying thing is... Zeng Chang actually found from the data that the power of steam locomotives has increased.
Zeng Chang's eyes turned red.
He suddenly felt like he had entered a new research direction all of a sudden.
The previous theory was not a mistake, but a wrong direction.
He took a deep breath.
I excitedly took the data and wanted to find the big names in the institute.
But then... he realized something.
No, I took it now, I'm afraid they may not be willing to take a look unless...
weekly……
Zeng Chang took the experimental data without hesitation and kept his back from going out. Then, a paper was written.
The title of the paper is also a word cost-effectiveness mentioned several times in the drawings and manuscripts.
The theory of cost effectiveness!
Zeng Chang did not dare to mention his name on the paper. The first author of the paper wrote about Zhang Heling, followed by Zhang Yanling, and finally... he signed his name selfishly.
Then...submitted the article, and then waited anxiously for the results.
……………………
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."
On this day, on a sunny day after winter, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were having sex in Fengtian Hall.
Fang Jifan, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, was leisurely and free, and he didn't stay in the cabinet much, but was a regular visitor to Fengtian Palace.
At this time, Liu Jin rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, the latest weekly, the latest weekly is here."
Zhu Houzhao is very concerned about weekly magazines. After all, he is also an insider in the industry. When he reads it occasionally, he also knows it in his mind.
Hearing that the weekly magazine was coming, his eyes were slightly wide open, and the other party was happy and said, "Now, these people are becoming more and more incompetent..."
As he said, he lowered his head casually, and then... his eyes fell on the first paper, and his expression was a little different.
“Huh?”
"Lao Fang, come." Zhu Houzhao said in surprise.
Fang Jifan stepped forward and saw that he immediately understood Zhu Houzhao's strange reason.
"Academic, is there a dog named Zhang Heling?"
Fang Jifan said seriously: "There is no research institute, but there is one in His Majesty's home."
Zhu Houzhao said, "No, what do they know, come and join in the fun? The science... is..."
Having said this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly stopped talking.
because……
He didn't have the time to read the paper, and Zhu Houzhao looked down on his two uncles.
However... the paper also quoted a piece of experimental data. Zhu Houzhao was very familiar with steam locomotives. When he looked at the data above, his face suddenly changed: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. How much money did the weekly magazine collect? He dared to publish such data randomly."
Fang Jifan also frowned. In fact... he knew the general principle of the steam engine, but the real details were certainly Fang Jifan was a man of two lives, and Fang Jifan didn't know anything. He seemed to be a guide, pointing out the direction, saying that the principle of steam can build cars, and the others... were the matter between Zhu Houzhao and countless disciples. Fang Jifan seemed to understand but didn't understand it. After thinking about it for a long time, he hesitated: "This thing, this thing...ah...um..."
