An irregular cube, roughly shaped like a human heart, like an old tree root coiled with hideous red copper pipes. As a steam power ensemble, it is said to be a small ultra-vapor compression device, but the volume is also close to the size of two adults. The design is very compact, the dense hoses have been fixed, and the length of each hose has its actual meaning in it, not an arbitrary number. The mechanic used a differential machine to calculate and eliminate the error caused by the repair as much as possible.

The above parts cannot be replaced at will, just like a precise occlusal gear, small errors will accumulate the fatigue value on the entire mechanical body in countless wear, and when the tolerance limit arrives, it will suddenly explode.

This is also the reason why ultra-vapor compression devices are difficult to replicate, or cannot be replicated. There is a place for them in the foundation of imperial rule, and the know-how in design, materials, processes, assembly, and commissioning has been accumulated over a long period of time, as well as the dedication of generations of research.

"Before I saw this thing, I thought it would be a very regular object. Sotagan looked at the compression device above his head and sighed and said to Kasia, "The broken parts have a great loss of performance, but the power provided is still comparable to that of dozens of vehicles." And with the program set in the differential machine, the small supervapor compression device can do a lot of things that ordinary compression devices can't do. ”

As he spoke, the crane had moved the compression device to the fixed platform, and at this moment it was gradually lowering in height, and several engineers were artificially aligning the fixed device on the platform.

With a muffled "bang", the ultra-vapor compression device fits perfectly into the hinges on the fixing table. The sound of the collision still lingered in the spacious factory, and it still had a decent weight. At this point, the technologists began to loosen the plugs on the compression device, revealing a dozen or so swarthy holes.

Those are the channels for steam to enter and exit, through the high-pressure tank of the compression device, and the main body of the control valve, as well as the condenser and heating ring on the other armor body, and then through the cooperation of various valve bodies, and then complete a complete cycle of power. With the exception of the compression device, all other components are now replaced by equipment in the factory to simulate the self-circulation system on the Warframe to test how well these units perform.

Several technical engineers are now clamping the control lines and cables, and the sensors used to obtain the relevant test data are fixed at the end. They are all skilled veterans, and their rich experience makes the preparation before commissioning go very smoothly. Finally, as an engineer first opened the main valve of steam delivery of the hydraulic system pump, in the rotary sound of the vane-shaped hydraulic pump, the piston rod stretched out, driving the movable connecting rod to operate, clamping the tensioner mounted on the compression device on one side, and resisting the compression device from behind.

Then, via the calibrated ground track, a large, horn-shaped jet limiting cover was pushed over and precisely docked to the main steam transfer port on the compression unit. The technical engineers fixed both of them and checked them again from beginning to end, and the time went from nine to eleven o'clock.

Three other compressors also arrived at the plant during this period. It was obvious that there was a shortage of manpower, and in the end, Sotagan and Kasia all went over to help. In practice, the two may not be as good as those technical engineers, but their theoretical knowledge is roughly comparable. With the same foundation for most of the various mechanical drawings, the flexible body and great strength really speed up the progress of installation and fixation.

After all the five huge horn covers were strengthened and tightened twice, the fixing operation was finally completed at 4 p.m.

Sotagan evacuated the surrounding people, and several baffles almost as high as the factory were placed not far from the horn cover to block the chaotic steam flow from the high-speed jets. Above this space, ten huge hoses were also pulled by the aerial crane, and dozens of shower heads with enough spray volume were installed on them, and the test officially began after a while, so that the cold water inside could quickly condense the massive amount of steam, preventing them from escaping too much from the factory and exposing the target. A large circle is also formed on the ground with a baffle to collect water and enhance the effect of absorbing steam.

"Is the pressure enough?" Cassia looked around, the places that should be taken care of had been prepared, and the possibility of problems was not very high, but he was worried that the steam delivery capacity of the factory was not enough to touch the limits of the ultra-vapor compression unit. After all, it is not as big as the steam engine of an ordinary carrier truck, and it drives the body of the armor in terms of tonnage. All the moving parts on it have to operate on the steam it transports.

"There is no problem, the steam pressure and volume here can pull dozens of medium and large machines. If the follow-up pressure and output are not enough, we can also temporarily apply for a steam discharge tower to increase our output here. When the factory first brought in steam, the copper pipes it was designed and purchased had never reached its limits. The worst outcome is just an extra payment to the steam discharge tower. The product of the Sanshi Group, the appetite of the emission tower managers will not be very large. With a smile on his face, Sotagan looked at Kasia, "We'll see the true power of this thing in a moment." Based on its performance, perhaps we can also make a rough estimate of the Warframe's combat capabilities. ”

Kasia and Sotagan all evacuated the area demarcated by the test. The technical engineers started the differential machine that controlled the fixed table, and after the test data was determined to be within the safe range, they pressed down the safety lever of the main steam transmission pipeline of the plant and began to open the main control rotary valve step by step. The sound of the hollow chirp mingled in the pipe, piercing through the thick walls of the pipe, and turning into a muffled thud that slammed into a group of observers.

After about ten seconds, the turbine spindle in the super-vapor compression unit is driven by several stages of blades and begins to rotate. The roar of the blades impacted by the high-temperature and high-pressure steam accelerated the spindle to a terrifying state in a short time. The steam on the horn cover changed from falling to a jet, like a triangular searchlight on the head of a heavy train at night, and the milky white steam became a solid substance in the eyes of Kasia, and the surface was so delicate that a closer look could be seen as the visual effect of the rapid flow of steam.

The baffle more than a dozen meters away made a screaming sound from the impact, and the area around the fixed table was now covered with steam, and the smoke was stacked on top of the factory with visual weight, and it was hard and heavy towards the top of the factory.

The water pipes on the crane began to fill with water, and a man-made rainstorm fell. The droplets of water seemed to hit the physical object, piercing through the piles of vapor mist that barely suppressed them in the factory space.

Now, in addition to the sound of various mechanical rotations and vibrations, only the continuous flashing red light on the side of the difference machine can show the actual situation of those machines inside the steam.

Sotagan looked at the rapidly advancing gears, the numbers on which were steadily rising as expected. He finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and the rest was a matter of waiting.
