Seeing such a magical scene, the workers became restless, and each of them stared at the noisy steam drainage machine with bright eyes. They suddenly felt that this thing was really interesting.
No manpower, no animal power, no pulleys, just burning coal and blowing air out, and the result was that the water inside was really sucked out in large quantities.
According to the judgment of the most experienced old workers, the pumping efficiency of this machine is more than ten times higher than that of using the pulley block to drain water at full speed.
Good guy, if all these were installed on the construction site, how many times would the production efficiency of the construction site be increased?
Everyone was very happy.
Different from the curiosity of the workers, the technicians were extremely excited when they saw the smooth operation of the steam pump. They all hugged each other, shouted and jumped around.
Some even burst into tears, wiping their tears and blowing their noses.
For them, today's success has really been a long time coming.
Su Yonglin threw money at them regardless of the cost, and they squandered the funds regardless of the cost. They had not succeeded for several years. Other departments of the Ministry of Industry laughed at them as two-legged gold-eating beasts that could only get in but not get out. This depressed them. Keep it all in mind.
But now, they finally see the light of day and have waited for the day of success.
They brought not just one steam engine, but more than a dozen.
After the first test was successful, they let go and used three steam pumps to pump water directly into the mine. The three machines pumped water at full capacity. The three machines took turns pumping, pumping for a while and stopping for a while. After two days and two nights, the mine was I can serve people.
The miners who went down looked around and were amazed. After going up, they gave a thumbs up to the steam pump and these technicians and praised them vigorously.
Zhu Xun, the director of the Datong Coal Mine, was even more excited. While asking the technicians to rest and eat, he discussed with them whether he could keep these machines to help them work.
“In the past, we were really tired of draining water. A good mine was flooded in one night. We tried our best to save only a small part of it, but we couldn’t save more than half. How much mine and coal were wasted.
Before using this pulley block, I didn’t even know whether our workers were coal miners or drainage workers. Many production teams were directly engaged in drainage work. Now, with this pulley, our old problem has been solved! "
Zhou Xun, the steam engine technical team leader, laughed and nodded.
"If we don't let you use this, why should we bring it over? This is a good thing that the chairman spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to get us. It finally succeeded. I am happier than you! Finally, I will not let down the trust of the chairman. !”
"A hundred thousand dollars? Is this thing so expensive?!"
Zhu Xun was frightened: "Then...then I don't dare to use it anymore. You'd better take it back. I can't afford to pay for it if something happens. This coal mine doesn't have that much budget."
Zhou Xun was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"It's not that easy to break. At most, the small parts inside need to be replaced. Don't worry, we will leave some technicians here to follow up and see how the situation is and how long it can be used without problems. If it is damaged, it is not yours. Things are our business."
Only then did Zhu Xun feel relieved.
"That's good. I really don't dare to think about something worth hundreds of thousands of dollars... Speaking of which, it's a bit..."
"waste?"
Zhou Xun knew what Zhu Xun was going to say, so he shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, that's not what many things say. Creating it from scratch requires a lot of investment, but now that it has come out and it has been proven to be really useful, what happens after that?" It's much simpler.
Just wait, steam engines can be a big deal. Sooner or later, I will make your mine full of steam engines, which will save workers a lot of time and energy, and put them all into production, and increase your output at least ten times. ! "
"ten times?"
Zhu Xun calculated with his fingers: "The current monthly output is about...ten times. That means...that much? Comrade Zhou Xun, don't dare to say this nonsense! Ten times, that means we can do it in a month The previous year’s production?”
Zhou Xun smiled confidently.
"Without this efficiency, the more than 100,000 yuan invested by the chairman will be wasted! The chairman can swallow this breath, but I can't swallow it! There is no such waste of money! Just wait, steam locomotives, steam ships, sooner or later we will It can be used!"
Zhu Xun didn't quite understand what steam locomotives and steam ships were, but he felt that Zhou Xun was a very confident person, and his eyes were bright when he spoke, so he was willing to believe that this young man would definitely bring some new changes to the Ming Dynasty.
News that the steam pump had arrived at Datong Coal Mine and was functioning smoothly was quickly sent back to Zhongdu.
The technicians were overjoyed when they heard the news of the success. Su Yonglin, who was even more delighted, arrived at the technical department in person and treated them to a feast at his own expense.
He knew that from this moment on, history should speed up a little, and the long and cold night of the agricultural era should start from this moment towards dawn, ushering in the first light of dawn.
The water pump is only the first step, the first step for an existence like the steam engine to officially function.
Later, Su Yonglin wanted to promote the transformation of steam engines from pumping machines to power machines, and this not only required piston steam engines, but rotating gears also needed to enter the stage of history.
The era of big machines was coming soon, and the roar of the steel giants sounded faintly in Su Yonglin's ears.
Su Yonglin raised a glass to these skilled workers at the celebration banquet, expressed his sincere respect for them, and expressed that he was looking forward to the day when the steam locomotive would be successfully operational.
Ming Dynasty needed railways, trains, and steamships. It needed these brand-new means of transportation to bring revolutionary production changes to Ming Dynasty to adapt to Ming Dynasty's constantly advancing thinking.
Therefore, Su Yonglin continued to inject capital into the Ministry of Industry, allowing them to have sufficient funds to order everything they need to facilitate them to complete the historic power change.
Su Yonglin drank a lot that night. He was very happy and partyed with the skilled workers until late before returning to the palace to rest.
Zhao Xirui hadn't seen the drunk Su Yonglin for a long time. She helplessly helped him take off his clothes, wiped his face and body, covered him with a quilt, and watched him fall asleep.
However, early the next morning, Su Yonglin had a fever, still a high fever.
Zhao Xirui urgently called the imperial doctor from the palace.
The imperial doctor hurriedly came and treated him, and concluded that Su Yonglin had cold evil entering his body, causing a high fever that persisted. Although it was not a serious matter, he needed to take good care of himself, rest well, and avoid cold wind.
"Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs for a long time, diligently caring for the people, and rarely resting. Although your Majesty has a strong body, he cannot help but suffer from years of hard work. Moreover, as your Majesty is getting older, he should no longer work as hard at night to recuperate his body as he did in the past. It’s a very important thing.”
The white-bearded imperial doctor gave Su Yonglin a prescription and gave Zhao Xirui instructions.
"Previously, the veteran asked His Majesty for safety many times, and warned His Majesty more than once that he should pay more attention to rest. His Majesty is already thirty-three years old, no longer twenty-three, but His Majesty is still handling government affairs with the energy of a twenty-three-year-old. If things go on like this, it's not a good thing.
In the past few years, His Majesty has occasionally suffered from minor illnesses, but overall he is still in good health. However, this time the high fever is not as good as before. The veteran clearly feels that His Majesty's health is no longer as good as before. I also ask the Queen to warn Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to pay more attention to yourself. body of. "
After hearing this, Zhao Xirui looked at Su Yonglin, who was still lying on the bed, still unconscious, with a face full of love and worry.
