Chapter 411: Give me some advice
Qin An nodded and said: "Since you are so anxious, let me ask you, do you know what kind of machine the information I showed you just now is?"
Cuttlefish replied: "It's information about steam engines, and it's very detailed. The principle of steam engines is mainly to convert the energy of steam into mechanical work.
The villain thought that since the principle of the steam engine is somewhat similar to the principle of Mr. tractor, why did Mr. not use a steam engine to make a tractor, but use an engine to make a tractor? "
"That's a good question." Qin An said excitedly, "Actually, you can use anything to make a tractor, you can use a steam engine, you can use an engine, it's all for cultivating the land.
It's just that the fuel used by both sides is different.
However, you only saw the tractor and nothing else. "
"Others? Sir, please see me clearly." Cuttlefish said.
Qin An smiled and said: "Since we can invent tractors, can't we invent other vehicles?
Outside, there is a kind of transportation called a car. The car uses an engine and uses diesel or gasoline as fuel.
Do you understand what I mean? "
After thinking for a moment, Cuyu nodded vigorously and said, "It turns out that your ambition is not to make tractors, but to produce cars.
As long as the engine is fine, sir, should you build a tractor or a car first? "
"Of course it's a car." Qin An didn't even think about it. "I have a lot of use for cars. As for tractors, someone is actually making them."
"Sir, could you be talking about the steam engine that the giants and Gongshu family heads were researching with half of the Mohist disciples and the elite Gongshu family?" Cuiyu said.
Qin An nodded and said, "Yes, I gave Lao Meng He Gongshu a total of three pieces of information, one about steam engines, one about steam trains, and one about steam plow trucks, which are called tractors.
However the tractor I built was completely different from the steam tractor. "
"Sir, since both can cultivate the land, who can cultivate the land faster?" Cuttlefish asked.
Qin An thought for a while and said: "There is no way to compare this. If they are tractors of the same size, then the tractor I made is faster.
But steam tractors, different types of plows can be hung with plows up to twenty meters long.
This made the steam tractor faster. "
"Sir, can we make a steam tractor?" Cuttlefish asked.
"Of course." Qin An smiled, "The reason why I showed you the information is to build a steam plow tractor.
I promised my father-in-law that to complete the tractor project, I would completely release the labor force in the village. This would be very beneficial to my business in two years.
But Lao Meng and his colleagues' research had just attracted the attention of the imperial courts from all over the country, and they would not notice me at all.
Cuttlefish, do you have the confidence to build a steam tractor with me? "
"Yes." Cuttlefish said loudly, full of momentum.
Qin An nodded and said, "Very good, very good. I will give you the information. Now you go find your fellow apprentices and people from the Mo family, prepare all the materials, and then start making the steam engine."
"Sir, aren't you just making a steam tractor?" Cuyu asked in confusion.
Qin An sighed and said: "Squid, although you are very capable of learning and good at thinking, you have one shortcoming: you are too ambitious.
This is a taboo for scientists. Although we have to have whimsical ideas, our foundation needs to be solid enough.
Steam tractors can be made, but you should first understand the steam engine and then make a steam engine.
Then using the steam engine to do fantastic things? "
Cuiyu didn't react for a while. Didn't he already get Mr.'s information? Didn't he have an introduction in it? If that was the case, why would I want to learn more about him?
Qin An looked at Cuiyu's expression and knew that it would be difficult for him to adapt to him for a while.
model, sighed and said: "You still have a lot to learn, and the road is still long, so don't be complacent.
In addition, I will give you a task. According to the information I gave you, make a steam engine. It doesn’t need to be too big. I want you to thoroughly understand the steam engine first, and finally you can use the steam engine to make steam trains, steam tractors, steam textile machines, etc. "
"I understand, little man. Thank you sir for your teaching." A smile appeared on Cuiyu's face, and he finally understood what Qin An meant at the beginning.
I and others have never even seen a steam engine. Everything is based on what my husband said and what he did. Do I really know those things?
If they are asked to imitate, they might be able to do it, but if they are asked to use Qin An's technology to make others, they might have difficulty.
Qin An's words just now seem to have opened a door for Cuttlefish. It's not that they don't know how to do it, but that their direction was wrong from the beginning.
This is equivalent to saying that they have not learned to walk yet but want to run, which is unrealistic.
After Cuiyu left, the three girls Ying Yin and Man walked out of the room.
"Finally left, we were starved to death." Ying Yinman said.
Qin An frowned slightly and said, "Why don't you come out to eat when you are hungry?"
Li Yanran said: "The gentleman is teaching his disciples, how can we disturb him?"
Zou Feng said: "I don't think it matters. My husband has no plans to accept him as his disciple, otherwise he would have brought it up just now."
Qin An smiled and said, "Yes, although I wanted to accept him as a disciple yesterday, when I saw him today, I realized that it would be a waste for me to accept him.
After I go out, I plan to take him to school and receive formal education. His future prospects will definitely be better than mine. "
"My husband, you think too highly of him. He is just an ordinary disciple of the Mo family. He really has your ability. Why didn't their masters notice it?" Ying Yinman asked.
Qin An smiled and said: "Mo family disciples are spread all over the country. As you said, he is just an ordinary disciple, who will pay attention to him.
What's more, Mo Jia's ability is only that little. He has probably learned everything he can learn, but other people also know these things, so he doesn't feel that there is anything outstanding.
Now Cuttlefish has learned new knowledge, and then he absorbs this knowledge quickly like a sponge, so he can find the shortcomings of the engine.
But other people can only complete my invention step by step, so they don't know the shortcomings of the engine. I'm afraid they don't even understand the operating principle of the engine. "
"Are they such trash?" Ying Yinman said.
"It's not that they are useless, it's just that my knowledge is a bit advanced for them. Just like a child who has just learned to speak, and you suddenly ask him to write, he may write this word, but he doesn't know what the word is. I don’t know what it means.” Qin An explained.
