After the old people of the Xiangli clan came up with the magnetic levitation bearing, their admiration for Wang Chong, the ancestor of the Kuaiji Wang family who established this branch, increased by a hundred. They deeply believed that this man really created a new era, but it was just before the dawn of dawn. Before he came, he was taken away by ghosts and gods.
Well, the Mo family is not very good at this point. It is what they say about ghosts, but they actually believe in ghosts and gods. Of course, stealing the abilities of ghosts and gods and turning them into human power is what they do, but it is undeniable that this group of people really I like to attach things I don’t understand to ghosts and gods.
However, to put it conversely, once anything is hung on ghosts and gods by the Mo family, it is equivalent to being targeted by the Mo family.
Wow, the abilities of these ghosts and gods are so cool, give me one...
This is roughly the case, so among the hundreds of schools of thought, the Mohist school ranks at the forefront in terms of belief in ghosts and gods. However, in terms of research and demonstration of the abilities of ghosts and gods, the Mohist school is also second to none, which can be said to be very special. magic.
Mozi Ming Guizhong talked about the existence of ghosts and gods, but also said that "even if the ghosts and gods ask for death, they can still gather people for joy and get relatives in the hometown."
To put it simply, Mozi's approach is somewhat equivalent to that of later generations of Chinese believers in ghosts and gods - the left eyelid is twitching, the left eyelid will make money, wow, I am going to get rich, the right eyelid will twitch, and the right eyelid will be beaten, Go away, why do such feudal superstitions still exist?
Xianglishi is not as cheating as later generations, but the general operation is actually not much different.
Therefore, after putting incense sticks on Wang Chong who was taken away by ghosts and gods at home, the Xiangli family entered into the joyful development and transformation, and they only had this little interest in this family.
Unlike those families who study theory and sum up experience, Xianglishi's work is closer to engineering applications. Therefore, how to fill the gap between theory and practice depends on Xianglishi's ability, and fortunately, Xianglishi On the one hand, it’s really awesome.
After the magnetic levitation rotor was completed, ball bearings were abandoned by Richter in a short period of time. The main reason for choosing ball bearings before was that ball bearings can have high mechanical transmission efficiency at the same level as Richter.
But now, the transmission efficiency of the magnetic levitation bearing itself has reached an incredible level, and the additional ball bearings are more used as load-bearing and auxiliary.
Although it also shares part of the transmission behavior, losing part of the efficiency at this time to achieve a larger load is no longer as completely unacceptable as before.
In this case, why should we use low load-bearing rolling bearings and go directly to sliding bearings? Wasn't it also because of the upper limit of load when building light rail? Now that part of the energy consumption loss can be accepted, it is better to start rail trains directly. The track will be directly connected to the heavy rail, the track spacing will be adjusted to two and a half meters, and the carrying capacity will be directly upgraded to the highest level of high-load carrying capacity.
Due to historical accumulation reasons, the track width of later generations was fixed, and the most reasonable track spacing layout pattern could not be achieved. This resulted in corresponding restrictions on the design width and carrying width of rail trains.
What is even more devastating is that there are too many historical legacy, so even if a country wants to redesign the track width, it needs to consider the existing track width in the world, unless it does not carry out international transportation. However, for the kind of internationalization in later generations It is simply unrealistic for the world.
Therefore, many people know that this design is very frustrating and not the most reasonable arrangement, but there is no other choice.
Similar to this is the water transportation problem in the Yangtze River. Large ships, that is, ships of 10,000 tons, can enter the Yangtze River based on the runoff of the Yangtze River. However, the reason why large ships cannot enter the Yangtze River is actually the design of the bridge. At that time, I ignored the large ships that might exist in the future, and then after building them one by one...
Even if the problem is recognized now, as I said before, we can't demolish all these bridges. This is not a small amount of money. Moreover, if they are demolished, they have to be rebuilt. This is also a problem, so that it has appeared. This is something that everyone knows about the problem, but can only pretend not to know. After all, this is a problem left over from history.
However, this problem does not exist in this era. After all, Xianglishi is not bound by historical issues. If it were not for the need to consider issues such as load and track load-bearing, Xianglishi might be able to make the track spacing even more outrageous. After all, they really have this ability.
Even the more imaginative descendants of the Xiangli family have begun to design palace-style and fortress-style rail trains. After all, they are different from the small-minded people in Europe. Since ancient times, the Central Plains has had a habit that big is beautiful. In Xiao He's words, it is "very There is no way to be strong enough to be powerful!”
Under this idea, the importance of ball accuracy has once again declined, because Xiang Lishi no longer wants to use ball bearings. The load-bearing capacity of this thing is used to make things like light tanks, but now the brain The Xiangli family, whose cave is wide open, already wants to build a fortress and a palace.
By the way, the Weiyang Palace in the Han Dynasty covers an area of about five square kilometers. It is a top-notch palace complex. Its weight is not clear. It is still hundreds of thousands of tons. And the brain power of Xiangli was injected with the concept of magnetic levitation by Wang. , I kind of want to make a movable one, no, no, no, it should be a fortress palace complex shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
Although the dreams of the younger generation were suppressed by the older generation, the idea of flying into the sky and standing side by side with the sun still remained in the mind of the younger generation, Sorishi.
After that, Xianglishi, who worked hard on the ground, made usable bearings before the arrival of spring. Compared with the light rail that was initially considered, this time it can be said that it was done in one step and directly reached the high load-bearing level. In this way, Instead, it is a question of whether the track can withstand it. After all, high loads also have very high requirements for the track.
However, smelting and forging are two things that Richter himself has mastered, and alloy materials are a basic subject that Richter has mastered for more than 600 years. During the Qin Dynasty, they were able to use copper as a basis to create items that were no less strong than iron. thing.
Regarding this item, Chen Xi also asked Xiang Lishi how it was done, and Xiangli Shi made a batch of bronzes in proportion with antimony ore and copper and lead obtained from unknown sources. The mechanical strength Overwhelmed by junk iron.
Of course, Chen Xi did not recognize that it was antimony ore at that time, because Xiangli called this thing Lianxi, so Chen Xi looked at it for a long time and did not know what it was. It was not until one time that Chen Xi realized that it seemed to be antimony ore. .
In fact, the results of spectral analysis of Qin's bronze swords can basically be regarded as black technology. Antimony ore is smelted to strengthen the alloy strength, and the surface layer is oxidized with chromium salts.
Now the Xiangli family no longer engages in bronze ware, and instead specializes in alloy smelting. A large amount of ore that was added to the smelting of bronze ware was transported back from Longxi by Yellow River water transport. Although Chen Xi could not identify what kind of ore it was, he was basically sure that it was It's chromium salt.
Xianglishi definitely doesn’t know what this is, but Xianglishi has been using this thing to add to his furnace since the Great Qin Dynasty. He also knows the effect of adding this thing. He can even tell which ores are based on the feel and taste. Meet your own requirements.
This is why the iron ingots made by Xianglishi are used in many places, because they are also iron ingots, and the quality of the things made by Xianglishi is indeed better than those of other factories and mines. After all, the state-owned factories and mines run by Chen Xi are all There is no way to determine how to add chromium salt.
This kind of thing that cannot be purified can really only rely on the experience of old craftsmen. After all, Chen Xi also needs to be calm and calm at the smelting temperature of 4,000 degrees.
From this point of view, the experience of the ancients is still very useful. Although this kind of experience will be eliminated due to the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of accuracy, before the technology reaches a certain level, the experience of old craftsmen will indeed be extremely convenient.
It can be said that with Xiangli's completion of the maglev shaft, everything needed for the rail train has been settled, leaving only an approval document. Of course, Chen Xi did not know this fact.
That's right, Chen Xi, who is currently chatting with the eldest princess, has no idea that the Xiangli family has achieved leapfrog technological progress, directly advancing from the primitive ball axis to the magnetic levitation axis that has only entered the in-depth research stage in the 21st century. It can be said that it is a step to the sky.
"In short, this thing must be built. Rail trains are of great significance to national governance. However, the current situation requires a design drawing and determination of the load before it can be put on the schedule. However, the load at this time should not be too high. High." Chen Xi said with a smile.
Chen Xi figured that it would be enough to use the temperature-cured and strengthened wooden rails from the beginning. Anyway, with the temperature-cured support, the strength is still guaranteed. Of course, the most important thing is to use wooden rails that are lighter. Of course, when the Richter scale reaches two meters Once the five design drawings are ready, the only option is to get on the rails.
"Are there two directions: southwest and northwest? What about southeast and northeast?" Liu Tong asked curiously.
"We will definitely repair it when the time comes, but after all, there is a sequence in it." Chen Xi nodded and said, there is only one reason to repair the southwest and northwest first, which is to consolidate the newly occupied territory and prevent the land that was finally occupied from becoming a flying one. land.
"The places in the northeast and southeast have been China's inherent territory since ancient times. The people in those places generally have no idea of separation. The newly occupied places are different." Chen Xi found a map and explained to Liu Tong .
"The benefits are huge." Liu Tong thought for a while and said, "I always feel that the benefits in this matter are so huge that it's unbelievable."
"The benefits are very great. Just by repairing these four items, the money earned every year can be used to demolish and build Weiyang Palace every year. It's a pity that it can't be repaired now." Chen Xi said with a smile.
