The tramcar was an unparalleled construction that must be mentioned in Daqin. The speed plus track was increased by 500, and the carrying capacity was doubled. As a family in Daqin that specializes in machinery, Xianglishi said, after I saw the electric motor, I wanted to build one again. This thing is gone.
Chen Xi is also very clear about the benefits of rail trains. In fact, his previous plan included two extension tracks to the southwest and northwest, but this construction has never been on the agenda.
Xianglishi's motor is indeed very impressive, but the problem of the shaft and rotor still exists. Even though Xianglishi's members can make silk-level perfect circles with just the feel of their hands, this is really not a skill that normal craftsmen can master. .
The more ordinary people are, the more terrifying these people are, but the more terrifying the technology is, the harder it is to popularize it. Without balls, things like bearings are impossible to play with. As for the ball maker, although Saurishi was forced by the balls. I was anxious and made it out of the blue, but I could only do the preliminary polishing of the third part. The subsequent refinement still relied on people, and the screening also relied on people.
After all, there are no optical instruments that are as easy to use as those of later generations. They can be used to inspect the surface of the ball. They can only be screened manually.
Therefore, after the electric light rail plan was presented, Chen Xi was directly stuck in the to-do list and had no intention of preparing supplies.
The Xiangli clan sent Xiangli Ji, who they had previously sent to contact Chen Xi, to come to Chang'an again. For some reasons, Chen Xi politely said at that time, I don't mind you doing this, but you can calculate how much you need. Bearings, let’s discuss them later.
Then Xiangliji ran back to car the beads. Now the whole family of Xianglishi is carving the beads. However, if you think about it carefully, it is completely meaningless with this kind of efficiency. Maybe Xiangli can make the car in a year. The beads are simply not enough for several uses.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xi began to think about what type of bearings humans used before rolling bearings, that is, bearings that required balls or rollers. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally discovered that it seemed that they were still ball bearings, but they were more refined. That’s all.
There's nothing you can do about it, go ahead and continue carving the beads. If you want to repair the beads after the car is finished, I will definitely give you resources. But if you haven't even fixed the bearings, forget it.
Xianglishi still hasn't figured out the beads. In fact, Xianglishi has fallen into a strange circle. The existence of the motor made Xianglishi take a big step forward. In order to match the motor, Xianglishi changed the original The rail carriage turned into a rail train!
As a result, many inherent designs had to be changed. After the changes, things that Sourishi could do easily became very difficult. In this case, beads became the seemingly simplest answer, but in fact The most frustrating thing.
"Xiang Lishi's idea seems to be very executable." Liu Tong sat on a chair and looked over Xianglishi's planning and design completely. He had to say that he was very imaginative.
Non-stop for twenty-four hours, traveling at a speed of about forty kilometers per hour, and traveling a thousand kilometers a day, this thing is very valuable whether it is carrying people or cargo.
It can be said that if this thing is completed, there will be no problem for the Han Dynasty to extend its actual rule to Central Asia. More importantly, according to Xiangli's calculation of the power of the electric motor, there will be no problem with the efficiency of this action, at most. I want to ask a few questions about the front of the car.
"Yes, it's a very effective plan, and it is very consistent with the definition of the First Emperor's car traveling on the same track. Moreover, Xianglishi himself has relatively complete experience in this aspect, but they finally got stuck on the bearing." Chen Xi was helpless. Said, "But this problem is not a big problem and should be solved soon."
Chen Xi estimated that in a year or two, Xiangli would realize the problems of certain substitutes. Bearings have limited service life due to ball problems. In fact, there is really no need to pursue perfect round balls, as long as they can be used for hundreds of hours. That’s it, just use it once and replace it once.
However, this concept is not in line with Xianglishi's work attitude of striving for excellence, so Chen Xi did not say. In Chen Xi's opinion, what Xianglishi has to do now is not how to make an infinitely close perfect circle, but should consider How to popularize it to ordinary craftsmen and make garbage rolling balls that can be used for hundreds of hours and just throw them away after use.
"In fact, you can lay the track first, and then use a rail carriage. This is actually twice as fast as a normal carriage." Liu Tong thought for a while and said, "In this case, at least the preliminary planning has been completed. Next, replace your front carriage." When talking about electric trains, the preliminary track laying is basically completed, which can save a lot of trouble."
"It's not the same thing at all." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "The load of the rail carriage and the electric train are two different things. And I don't know at all how heavy the load of Xianglishi's electric train will be. The load-bearing capacity of the track design The load is also very important, and the design and layout of tracks with different loads are also very different in different environments.”
"Okay." Liu Tong said that I don't understand what you said. Anyway, what you said is probably right. I just believe it.
"So it's better to put this thing under the to-do list first, and wait until Xiang Lishi comes back to talk about it." Chen Xi sighed and said.
Will Xianglishi look back? Will you choose the wrong option when the right one is available? Are you kidding me? As a family with a heritage, they have set their sights on something and killed it. That is the family motto of the Xiangli family. To grab things from the hands of ghosts and gods and become a sage, this has always been correct. Road, so giving up is impossible.
However, if you don’t give up, you won’t give up. The core of Xianglishi’s creation is to popularize it. Once Xianglishi comes up with anything, it is basically estimated that other guys who work on the same type will be driven crazy. Sooner or later, Xianglishi will use this thing It's done everywhere.
Therefore, Chen Xi estimated that it would only take a year or two. When Xiang Lishi found that if they continued to push in the direction of the perfect circle, they could still develop forward, but ordinary people could no longer use it, they would separate some people to continue working on the perfect circle. Others spend hundreds to more than a thousand hours working on garbage that has a time limit.
But regardless of whether it is garbage or not, after it becomes this kind of thing, it basically means that it can be popularized. By then, ordinary craftsmen of the third and fourth levels may be able to make such things.
While Chen Xi and Liu Tong were chatting, the Huanghe Smelting and Forging Factory under the name of the Han Dynasty produced something even more terrifying.
"Bo Ji, long time no see. How are things going lately?" After receiving a sum of money from Chen Xi, the Wang family in Kuaiji asked his young people to lead the craftsmen to start building Leiji Terrace everywhere.
This thing can really increase food production, and the method is very scientific - it attracts lightning to release energy near the thunder platform, breaks down the atmosphere, forms nitric oxide, and then quickly oxidizes into nitrogen dioxide. After mixing with rainwater, it falls It enters the earth and becomes nitrogen fertilizer.
The Wang family in Kuaiji needs to repair tens of thousands of these things, and this is a job that cannot be completed in a few years, so the Wang family is not in a hurry, and first repairs Lei Jitai with those with better connections, such as Xiangli.
In fact, these two families were not familiar with each other before. A large amount of sponsorship money was spent, and Xianglishi relied on the Wang family's magnetoelectric technology to develop an electric motor. The relationship between the two companies was very good.
"Oh, Tong Ze." Xiang Liqin looked at Wang Yuan and said casually. Recently, their family was almost killed by beads. The whole family was carving beads, and the twelve-year-old children were polishing the beads with burrs. The whole family , men, women, old and young were all playing with beads, and they were almost driven crazy.
"I feel like you're not in a good mood." Wang Yuan looked at Xiangli Qin and said casually, "I'm here to repair thunder platforms for several villages on this side of the Yellow River. I just happened to come over and take a look."
"Lei Jitai? Is it the thing that your family said can attract the power of heaven and earth?" Xiangliqin scratched his hair, looking rather unkempt.
"Yes, Marquis Chen said that this thing can increase grain production, so we need to repair more than 10,000 places. It happens that this place is relatively close to you. Come and see you. I heard that you are still studying electric motors recently. Didn't you already do that before? Are you ready?" Wang Yuan said with a smile.
"We are studying rolling bearings." The whole family went to do research, which was even more evil than their family.
But then Wang Yuan remembered that the group of twenty-five young men in their family who were not engaged in research were all hanged up by the patriarch on the Leiji Terrace to perform "Lei Gong Help Me" for Li You. Now their outer house is basically empty, except for a few A manager of foreign affairs or something like that.
"Don't you have to live in your family?" Wang Yuan asked a strange question.
"During the Qin Dynasty, our family was provided with food and accommodation, and it is still the same now. However, a year ago, Chen Hou sent us a sum of money for no reason. Does this mean that the Han Dynasty did not provide food and accommodation?" Li Qin thought for a while and said, "Hey, it would be very difficult if food and accommodation were not included. It would be very troublesome to cook and support the family."
"Let's talk about your family's research." Wang Yuan was silent for a moment. There is no way to compare their family with the Xiangli family. They were taken care of by the state.
"Research that has made no progress." Xiangliqin explained helplessly, and told Wang Yuan everything about bearings, balls, etc. He was not afraid of the leakage of technology, and it was impossible for the other party to understand what he said. .
Wang Yuan laughed dryly and didn't understand. He understood that beads were used to reduce friction and improve mechanical transmission efficiency, but he didn't understand anything else.
