Even Zhu Gaoying was a little surprised. This temperature is equivalent to the temperature after central heating in the north in modern winter!
Therefore, the minimum requirement is 18 degrees, but it can usually reach more than 23 degrees, and it can even reach more than 30 degrees in many places!
Zhu Gaoying walked in the front, Zhang Yingzhen followed behind, Yang Shiqi and Su Wu were on the left and right, and the ministers followed behind them.
what happened?
Zhu Gaotian looked around and quickly discovered where the trouble lay.
Because he actually saw something similar to a radiator!
Zhu Gaoding immediately walked to the edge of the train box, and then knocked on the wall of the train.
"There are two layers of iron sheets inside, and are they covered with some wood or other things?"
There are many uneven areas on the body walls on both sides. Although the craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty was not very fine, there were not so many uneven areas!
This obviously uses a new and immature technology.
"Your Majesty is really aware of everything. I wanted to explain it to you after Your Majesty and your Lordships got in the car. I didn't expect that Your Majesty found out right after he got in the car!"
"Don't be too long-winded. Let me ask you, do you have a double-layer structure with an insulation layer inside?"
Zhu Gaotian pressed hard with his arm again and found that the inside seemed to be very hard, not like sawdust or the like.
"Stone bricks, white ash, and a large number of walls made of clay that were fired at once!"
"And it was mixed with grass clippings and cotton wool. Some uneven places were filled with stones and white ash. Finally, two thick layers of iron sheets were applied on the outside and fixed!"
"So the walls of this train have many advantages such as strength, solidity, insulation, fire resistance and durability. The disadvantage is that it is a little heavier, but it is much lower than the cost and weight of using all metal!"
I see!
"As expected of His Majesty, Mr. Zhang is indeed a strange person!"
The ministers praised Zhang Qixin one after another, and even Yang Shiqi and Su Wu began to recognize Zhang Qixin's ability from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhu Gaoying never thought that composite materials could be used to build a train!
If he didn't have his own guidance, I'm afraid Zhang Qixin would have been able to figure out a lot of tricks by himself.
Of course, the premise is that he does not become an official but becomes a craftsman and is supported by the power of an emperor or official!
"I see!"
Zhu Gaoying nodded, and then pointed to some exposed pipe-like things.
"If my guess is correct, Mr. Zhang, there are some drainage pipes inside this place, and the reason why the countryside is so warm is because the hot water flowing in these pipes is from the front of the car!"
After Zhang Qixin heard this, he immediately fell into admiration.
"Your Majesty is so wise. Your Majesty can see the things that this villain has worked so hard to design at a glance!"
"As expected of my emperor, the talents of this villain are indeed not as good as yours, your majesty!"
It really is?
Even Zhu Gaotian himself is a little confused. Good guy, you have even researched the future heating!
Let's just say, there is something else on this carriage that you can't find out through research.
"Weichen thought that every winter it was cold outside at night and it would be difficult to keep a carriage made of leather warm, so Weichen thought of a way to fix the inner iron sheet with a layer of water pipes on the outside, and Add fins around the water pipes!”
"Each carriage is manufactured separately, and two pipes extend from the beginning and end of the carriage, and are wrapped with sawdust and rags. When necessary, the hose is connected and wrapped with rags and sawdust. To ensure that the heat cannot be lost!"
"Every time you use it, open the valve above, and the high-pressure water inside will be sprayed out from the one-way high-pressure valve, and then flow back to the other low-pressure one-way valve and enter the boiler!"
The one-way valve has the same principle as the one-way piston. This method was used by the ancients when fetching water, but now it is used by Zhang Qixin for pressure return.
Zhu Gaoying originally wondered how he made this water pump, but he didn't expect to use such an ingenious method.
Although the efficiency is a bit lower, such a large compartment can be warmed without losing much heat.
"Yes, it is indeed a genius design!"
"Haha, I have you Zhang Qixin. The Ming Dynasty has Zhang Qixin, so why worry about not being prosperous!"
Zhu Gaoyan was naturally very happy to have such a capable general.
"I am afraid that I will not be able to bear such praise!"
"Humility is nothing. If I say you are, you are!"
Zhu Gaoyang helped Zhang Qixin up. He didn't expect to get such a treasure during his trip to western Sichuan. It was a complete surprise!
"Okay, okay, don't sit there anymore. It's cold outside. Let's all get in the car first!"
"Go ahead and inform me that the train will leave on time in a quarter of an hour!"
As for the safety of the train, it is not within the scope of Zhu Gaoyang's consideration at all. After all, even if the top speed is only thirty or forty when taking a train, and it is wrapped in such a thick iron sheet, even if it hits a big rock, it will not hurt. What danger could there be?
"yes!"
Zhu Gaoyan. A little eunuch behind him immediately ran to the head of the carriage, opened the door and went to the locomotive.
"Besides, this is my first train in the Ming Dynasty. It must have a name after all, just like every army has a title!"
"Please give me your name, Your Majesty!"
The first train was like a dragon coming out of the sea, galloping above the vast number of people.
"Then the name of this train will be the Snow Dragon!"
Zhu Gaoyan made the final decision, and after hearing the name of Xuelong, other ministers also thought about it, from which angle should they praise His Majesty's good morals and talents?
Along the way, the ministers were either praising the warmth and comfort of the train, or praising His Majesty's wisdom and wisdom and Zhang Qixin's intelligence and learning. They were also praising the Ministry of Industry. No, it should be called the Ministry of Industry now. They directly transferred all the information from the Ministry of Industry. Everyone blew up to the sky.
Zhu Gaotian was just enjoying the journey and flirting with Zhang Yingzhen beside him.
It’s not easy. I didn’t expect that in a famous place like ours, I could experience the feeling of riding a train again!
Although the speed of this train may seem very slow to you now, in the Ming Dynasty, this speed may be unmatched by most thousand-mile horses!
And you don’t have to endure the pain of bumps, wind and sun.
"Tonight, I will hold a big banquet for everyone!"
"In addition, I have many people involved in the construction of the railway, and the Ministry of Industry is certainly indispensable!" (End of Chapter)
