Xue Fengzuo shouted: "Thief! ”

Two agents of the Heaven and Earth Society, dressed as Green Battalion soldiers, had already rushed in front of him, one of them grabbed an arm and twisted it back, cutting it behind his back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Xue Fengzuo was still struggling, but one of the green battalion soldiers opened an iron box he was carrying, took out a wet towel from it, and covered his face.

Xue Fengzuo only smelled a strange smell, and he exclaimed in his heart: Misty incense! But he could no longer speak, and immediately felt weak and fell asleep.

Five or six steps away, Mei Wending was also subdued by two agents of the Heaven and Earth Society, and a rag was stuffed into his mouth, tied like a rice dumpling. After all, these two people are big scientists, and Wang Xinyu has explained that they must not harm their lives, so the amount of medicine given by the agents of the Heaven and Earth Society is a little less, and they can only wake up after a coma of incense, and they need to be tied with ropes.

The sudden change made the people on the fort and the green battalion soldiers dumbfounded.

Several green battalion soldiers reacted, instead of waving their weapons to save people, they threw away their weapons one after another, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy: "A good man spares his life!" Heroes spare their lives! ”

Liu Feng saw his most beloved Lord Xue being tied up, and he didn't know where he got the courage, so he burst into a shout, picked up a hoe from the ground, and was about to smash it at an agent of the Heaven and Earth Society.

The agent pulled out his waist knife to block the hoe that had been smashed down by the head, and another agent sprang out from the side and swept Liu Feng to the ground with a sweeping leg. Just when an agent drew a knife to cut down, he heard Zhao Qian's shout: "Stop!" Spare him a little life! He is a student of Lord Xue! ”

The two green battalion soldiers had already held Liu Feng, and one took out a towel with medicine and covered Liu Feng's face. When he fell asleep, they tied him up with rope and put a rag in his mouth.

"Withdraw!" Zhao Qian waved his hand.

The three captives were placed in sacks, and three agents of the Society of Heaven and Earth carried the sacks and ran down the mountain.

Zhao Qian looked at the steam cart on the ground that was overturned, stepped forward, picked up the cart, and ran down the mountain with the other Tiandihui agents.

Along the way, several blind Green Battalion soldiers tried to intercept them, but they were all knocked to the ground by crossbow arrows. The rest of the Green Battalion threw away their weapons and moved out of the way.

At the foot of the mountain, a four-wheeled carriage of the new army of the Huguang Green Battalion has been waiting there for a long time, this is a new type of carriage, the front two wheels are small, the back two wheels are large, the wheels are covered with eucommia glue, and the axle is equipped with bearings, it looks like a very ordinary four-wheeled carriage, but the performance is very good, and it runs very fast.

Three prisoners were stuffed into the carriage, and a man who looked like a thousand commanders of the green camp also got into the carriage.

The other agents of the Heaven and Earth Society rode on their horses tethered to the foot of the mountain, waved a banner of the Huguang Green Battalion Horse Army, waved their whips, and galloped away.

After a while, Liu Feng woke up, he felt that he was being put in a marijuana bag, his hands and feet were tied firmly, and a foul-smelling rag was stuffed in his mouth. But at this time, Liu Feng was not worried about his fate, but he regretted it in his heart: Lord Xue, it's all grass people who are not good, and they hurt you!

Zhao Qian, the leader of the thieves who kidnapped them today, Liu Feng recognized, this person is also a small leader of the people on the fort construction site, and he has a good relationship with him on weekdays, and the two often drink a little wine.

A few days ago, Lord Xue accepted himself as a student, and agreed to come back today, that is, he drank some wine and revealed the news to Zhao Qian! Thinking of this, Liu Feng hated himself in his heart, if it weren't for his hands being tied, he would have slapped himself a few times. Originally, Lord Xue's whereabouts were confidential, how could the thieves know? It's all my own fault, I hurt Lord Xue and Master Mei, and I also hurt myself.

"Dog thief! Don't you want to escape! Liu Feng said secretly in his heart.

Not long after, the speed of the carriage slowed down, and Liu Feng heard that someone stopped the carriage in front of him, and he was overjoyed: as long as the officers and soldiers searched the carriage, he could be saved!

It's a pity that Liu Feng heard someone talking outside: "It's Lord Zhang!" I don't know what I do, but I hope to forgive my sins! ”

Then Liu Feng heard the man shouting at his soldiers again: "Blind your dog's eyes!" Do you dare to stop Mr. Zhang Qian's car? Don't let it go yet! ”

Liu Feng didn't know that for this operation, the Ming Army and the Heaven and Earth Society had invested a lot of money! At the same time as they were doing it on the mountain, a group of agents in Wuchang City were making trouble; At the same time, the ships of the Kuidong Righteous Army in the upper reaches also appeared, and a group of warships went down the river, posing as if they were going to attack with a large army. As a result, martial law was imposed in Wuchang City, and the attention of the Qing army was all focused on the city, and no one noticed the changes that occurred outside the city.

Several Qing soldiers of the green battalion came down from the mountain and wanted to run back to Wuchang City to report the news, but they saw that the city gate was closed, and no matter how they shouted, the Qing army at the head of the city would not open the door.

With such a series of coordinated actions, the action of Heaven and Earth to arrest people is very smooth.

The carriage accelerated through, and in the bumpy road, Liu Feng fell asleep again.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Feng and others were dragged out of the sack and put on a boat. When Liu Feng was dragged out of the sack, he turned his head to take a look, only to see that Lord Xue and Master Mei were also escorted onto the boat. Obviously, this is on Dongting Lake, and this is a very large boat, and the flag of the Dongting Lake Sailor is on board.

"How did the officers and soldiers of the imperial court collude with the thieves? Ay! This court is really over! Liu Feng sighed.

……

Changsha, the original Biyuan Governor's Mansion, has now been renamed the Hunan Governor's Mansion.

Wang Xinyu sat in the hall and looked at the steam cart placed on the ground. Xue Fengzuo, Mei Wending and Liu Feng sat on chairs, all three of them had been untied, and Wang Xinyu personally untied them, but the three of them didn't say a word, with the heart of death, and would rather die than be a thief.

Bai Wenxuan, Wang Yuyou, Li Rui, Luo Xiang, Wang [Fu] Chen, Liu Guoxuan, and Miss Lian also stared at this magical car with big eyes. I saw that the four-wheeled car was about three feet long and two feet wide, and there was a copper boiler in the middle of the car, and a copper pipe was drawn from the boiler, which was aimed at a disc like a waterwheel that was put down horizontally, and the disc was wrapped with a layer of copper skin, and the disc was connected to the wheel by gears.

"Can this car really move around on its own?" Miss Line asked suspiciously.

"Come on, bring a bucket of water, and bring charcoal!" Wang Xinyu turned around and gave an order.

The soldiers brought a bucket of water and a pot of charcoal.

Wang Xinyu personally lifted the bucket, poured the water into the high-pressure boiler of the trolley, and then lit the charcoal.

After a few moments, a miracle happened: as the water temperature increased, a copper flute made a sound, which meant that the water had boiled and water vapor was spewing out from the exhaust hole on the other side. Wang Xinyu flicked a switch on the boiler, and the exhaust hole on the boiler no longer sprayed water vapor, but the water vapor was introduced into the copper tube and sprayed towards the disc.

The high-pressure neatly sprayed onto the disc blades, the disc rotated at high speed, drove the gears, drove the front wheels to rotate, and this magical car actually walked on its own in the hall!

"It's so much fun!" Miss Lian stroked her palms and laughed like a little girl, not a lady at all, but she was not a lady in the first place.

There is also a steering device like a rudder on the car, when the car is about to hit the wall, Miss Lian walks forward, gently turns the rudder of the car, and the two wheels behind turn the direction, the car turns and continues to walk.

Liu Guoxuan looked at the car dumbfounded, and suddenly said: "If this kind of thing can be enlarged, made a little bigger, and placed on the warship of our sailors, wouldn't it be that our warship will be invincible in the world?" ”

"Yes!" Wang Xinyu nodded and said, "If this thing can be enlarged, our warships not only don't use wind power and manpower, but can also be put on iron armor and create an ironclad ship that is invincible in the world!" You can also build a 10,000-ton steel battleship! 10,000 tons, you know? An invincible giant ship with 20,000 materials, or even 30,000 materials! ”

Liu Guoxuan laughed: "If we can really build an invincible ironclad ship with 20,000 materials, not to mention the Tartar sailors, not to mention the red-haired ghosts, our fleet can hit the Taixi people!" All the oceans of the world are ours! ”

Wang Yuyou thought of another question: "This kind of thing is enlarged and installed on our rail car, so our car doesn't need mules and horses?" ”

"Yes!" Wang Xinyu nodded, "That's the train!" As long as a steam locomotive can pull millions of catties of goods, on the railway line, at a speed of two hundred miles in an hour! As long as our railway lines are connected to a network, it will not be a problem to travel 2,000 miles a day at that time! ”

Two hundred miles per hour, that is, a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, this speed was very amazing back then. But Wang Xinyu knew that the trains of later generations could be faster, ordinary trains could run at a speed of 160 kilometers per hour, and bullet trains and high-speed trains were speeding on the railway line at a speed of 200 to 300 kilometers per hour.

However, after the car walked for a while, Wang Xinyu heard a strange sound from the disc, and he shouted: "Turn off the fire!" Otherwise, the car will break down! ”

Miss Lian closed the valve, closed the door again, and the car stopped.

Wang Xinyu turned around, walked in front of Xue Fengzuo, and respectfully touched the ground: "Mr. Xue can create such a magical thing, it is really ingenious!" ”

Who knew that Xue Fengzuo turned his head: "It's useless to talk too much!" I swear not to be a thief! If you want to kill, you have to listen to it! ”

Wang Xinyu said with a smile: "Mr. Xue, your steam car should be called a steam turbine, but because the current materials are not up to par, this thing can't be made bigger, it can only be a toy." If Mr. Xue is interested, this fan is willing to take Mr. Xue to Dongfan to see, Mr. Song Yingxing and a few skilled craftsmen built a steam engine, I believe Mr. Xue will like it when he sees it. ”

"Dog thief! You have to persuade Lord Xue! We will not be thieves! Liu Feng scolded.

Wang Xinyu ignored him, but continued: "Lord Xue, what this fan built is a reciprocating steam engine, which has much lower requirements for materials, and as long as it is successfully developed, it can be put into practical use. And Lord Xue's steam turbine also needs better materials, otherwise the high-pressure steam will hit the blades, and the blades will break and fall off soon after. In addition, the arrangement of the blades should not be like this, but the arrangement of the turbine state, and the steam blows directly on the front of the blades. ”

As he spoke, Wang Xinyu took out a diagram of a steam turbine blade that he had just drawn and presented it.

In fact, when Xue Fengzuo heard Song Yingxing's three words just now, his heart had already moved. Looking at the drawings handed over by Wang Xinyu, his interest in science made him take the drawings and look at them.

After only one glance, Xue Fengzuo was shocked: "Wonderful! It's wonderful! The blades are curved, and when steam blows up from the front, the blades rotate and get more propulsion! Wonderful! This blade is still a group, after the steam blows through the first blade, it can also push the second blade and the third blade to improve the utilization rate of steam! ”

Liu Feng couldn't understand this kind of picture, but Mei Wending did: "This is ingenious!" Did you design this, General Wang? ”

Wang Xinyu arched his hand and replied: "After seeing Mr. Xue's car, Ben Fan was inspired by it, and he has been thinking hard about how to improve the utilization rate of steam, so he thought of this multiple blades. ”

However, the principle of the blades of the steam turbine is simple, and it is a high-tech thing to really be processed! The arc shape and arc of all blades must be the same, and there can be no too big error, otherwise the steam turbine will be unbalanced when it is running, resulting in easy wear and tear of the steam turbine. In addition, the steam turbine has very high requirements for materials, which cannot be achieved by the technology of this era, and only after the steam engine is built first, and the smelting technology and lathe technology are more powerful, can this high-tech blade be processed.

In fact, the propeller of a steamship warship is also a high-tech, and the requirements for the ship's propeller are much higher than those of Xu Zhengming's wooden air propeller.

The propeller rotates in the water, and the resistance of the water is large, and the propeller is easy to break if the technology is not reached.

Nan Huairen built a steam turbine car, but it became Kang Mazi's toy. Later, after Nan Huairen's manuscript returned to Europe, in just a few decades, Europe built a steam engine!

The same thing can only be a toy in the hands of Kang Mazi, but in the hands of Europeans, it can become the heart of the industrial revolution! That's the difference.

Yes, the steam car has many defects, and it can only be a toy. But the principle that steam can be used as power is the basic principle of the steam engine. Xue Fengzuo is a student of Nan Huairen, in fact, he is better than the blue, and the high-pressure boiler and precision piping equipment he built are indispensable parts for making steam engines.

"Mr. Xue, this clan will take you to Dongfan in person. Maybe Mr. Xue, when you see the Dongfan Gun Factory, you will like that place. Wang Xinyu arched his hand.

Xue Fengzuo secretly calculated in his heart: Haikou firearms are sharp, and there must be many skilled craftsmen. If you take a look at the East, maybe it's a good thing. What about just your own family? It's okay if you don't go over and take a look, as long as you don't do things for the thief, the court won't do anything to your family. (To be continued.) )
