Chapter 630 The Age of Asian Steam(2/2)
“This time it won’t work.”
Sheriel asked again: "Then why don't you guide them? You are obviously interested in their research."
Anyang was silent for a while before shook his head and said, "This is not simple, let them promote the times by themselves."
Hearing this, Sheriel felt a sense of the mysterious man manipulating the era in the story, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "To promote our era? Is it that machine? Do you think it has such great power?"
“If it succeeds, there is!”
Anyang nodded lightly and said nothing.
No matter what world is in, the steam engine is an epoch-making product. This reciprocating power machinery that converts steam energy into mechanical work undoubtedly marks a new industrial era, just like Europe in the 18th century.
In fact, until the beginning of the 20th century in the real world, it was still the most important prime mover in the world, and later it gradually gave way to internal combustion engines and steam turbines, so everyone must admit that its position in industrial history is unshakable.
No matter how good a war horse is, it is not as powerful as a steam engine, and no matter how good a carriage is, it is not as powerful as a train!
The steam engine needs a boiler that boils water to produce high-pressure steam. This boiler can use wood, oil, natural gas, coal and even garbage as heat sources to push the piston to do work with steam expansion. Students have already thought about this.
But they need to polish the details.
As for the separation condenser technology used in real-world steam engines, parallel motion connecting rod mechanisms, centrifugal speed regulators, throttle valves, pressure gauges and other technologies, or alternatives to these technologies, they have not yet appeared and need to be improved later.
They also didn't expect to use oil to lubricate the piston.
Anyang did not remind them.
This is a...sub-steam era.
He had just left the Hoff Experimental Building with Sherry. Before he got on the carriage, he met an unexpected person.
