Chapter 154 What a Coincidence (14)
Beside the pond, Zhou Jue, Zhou Xueyao, Zhang Xinhan, Lu Yang, etc. were stunned to see the iron boat floating gently on the water.
A boat made of iron can really float! The facts in front of you are irrefutable!
Although this is just a model, although this ship is only made of ordinary rough iron, it is iron after all. Moreover, the power of this ship has adopted a brand new technology.
Wang Dake introduced next to him: "This iron ship has a self-weight of 232 kilograms and a full-load displacement of 0.45 cubic meters. Displacement, this is our new measurement method, which is more intuitive and effective than the traditional one.
The displacement is 0.45 cubic meters, which can be regarded as 0.45 tons and 450 kilograms. Excluding the weight of the ship, it can carry 218 kg of cargo.
There is also the power system. According to current tests, two low-level spirit stones can be used for a day.
But at the same speed, if it is driven by a formation, it will consume more than 20 spirit stones a day. Almost a tenfold difference. "
Looking at the propeller of the boat, Zhou Jue asked in surprise, "What kind of inner blade machine is used for this power?"
"Right!" Zhang Hao nodded.
"What inner leaf type?" Zhou Xueyao asked curiously. During the half month of coming to Zhang's house, Zhou Xueyao's eyes were opened, this place is simply another world.
"Well..." Zhang Hao hesitated, looked around at the crowd, and immediately decided to take a look at a steam turbine. Now Zhang's steam turbines have started to be sold, and the Refining Guild has purchased several of them, so there is no need to keep the structure of the steam turbines secret - just seeing it doesn't mean it can be produced!
"Wang Dake, do you have any unused steam turbines? Take one apart."
Wang Dake immediately said: "Master, there is a steam turbine next to it that is being repaired, and it has been disassembled."
"That's fine. Let's go."
When everyone saw the structure of the steam turbine, they were amazed again and again. Even when Zhou Jue watched it for the second time, he was still shocked, and the Zhang family's technology seemed to have improved again.
Right now, the steam turbine is used by the Zhang family themselves, and the blades of the steam turbine are becoming more and more perfect. Now the top of the blade is no longer open, but embedded together to form a closed loop.
The structure of the blade itself is no longer straight up and down, but begins to have a beautiful curvature. The blades have been finely polished, like a mirror surface.
The only fly in the ointment is that these blades are not made of black iron, but ordinary iron.
"It's really just ordinary iron. Why use ordinary iron? We used to use black iron, right?" Zhou Jue asked.
"Because it's enough." Zhang Hao explained, "At present, the working temperature of the steam turbine does not exceed 260 degrees, and ordinary iron is sufficient. This can also further reduce the cost."
Zhou Xueyao blinked her eyes: "How dare you ask for 20 million spirit stones for a machine made of ordinary iron?"
Zhang Hao emphasized: "The starting price is 20 million spirit stones."
"... won't your heart hurt?"
This time, before Zhang Hao had time to speak, Mu Yingying, who had been following along, finally seized the opportunity. She said softly: "Technology is priceless! What is sold here is technology, not materials. Similarly, those who buy steam turbines are buying technology, not materials!
As long as the technology is up to standard, you don't care what people use to make it! "
"Hmph!" Zhou Xueyao snorted softly, raised her head slightly, "After that, our pills will also increase in price!"
Mu Yingying smiled: "Okay, you raise the price and see if you will be poked in the back!"
Zhou Xueyao was stunned for a moment, she pouted her red lips for a while, and then she giggled: "I'm just talking, don't be afraid."
You are afraid! Mu Yingying was going to fight back.
Zhang Hao spoke quickly to interrupt this little war. "Guys, this is the so-called 'inner blade'. The power of this machine is very strong, and there is still a lot of potential to be explored.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the use of inner blade machines can convert heat, such as high temperatures formed by ground fires and flame arrays, into mechanical power. It can also increase the efficiency of spirit stones by more than ten times.
In the future, we plan to move this machine to a large steel ship to provide powerful power for the large ship. "
Zhang Xinhan, Lu Yang and other refiners circled the steam turbine round and round, trying to steal the teacher. Zhang Hao smiled faintly, not afraid of them 'stealing the teacher' at all.
On the one hand, the steam turbine has been sold publicly, and on the other hand, Zhang Hao is confident. These refining masters may be able to imitate steam turbines, but lacking the basic physical knowledge system, it is difficult to say what results they can imitate.
If the imitation is not up to standard, there may be an "optical axis" accident, that is, the blades are all broken, which is very terrifying. The non-rotating main shaft of the steam turbine is enough to crush the unprepared Nascent Soul Stage.
Everyone was amazed for a while before Zhang Hao ended his visit. Speaking of this visit, it is still inevitable to reveal a little bit of technology; but compared to building everyone's confidence, this small effort is nothing.
The grand voyage plan cannot be achieved by relying solely on the strength of the Zhang family. Zhang Hao must unite more people. And if you want everyone to believe and support you firmly, you must give everyone confidence and show something.
Leaving the base of the Zhang family, everyone was still amazed and looked back three times at a step, Tie really can make a boat, and the Zhang family seems to have achieved good results.
Although everything is just beginning now, this is the first ray of clear spring under the ice breaking. This ray of clear spring is flowing with hope.
Zhou Jue looked at the sky, then turned to Zhang Hao and said, "Brother Shi, things here are almost done, and I'm going back to Xinglin Hall. There are still ten days left, and it will be the alchemy grand meeting, Brother Shi must come."
"Okay, I must go. By the way, Brother Zhou, I heard senior Lu Yang say by chance a few days ago that there are not enough flames for alchemy in Xinglin Hall?"
"Oh... this matter is quite troublesome. To put it simply, the flames for refining common pills, especially Peiyuan Pill, Yangqi Pill, and Buqi Pill, etc. are not enough.
Peiyuan Pills and others belong to primary elixirs, and they don’t actually need real fire. Using real fire to make alchemy is expensive, inefficient, and costly. Moreover, the real fire of a practitioner is limited, and long-term use will be very tiring and even affect practice. .
But if you use the flames produced by the demon pill, the quality will vary. We found that no two demon pills are exactly the same!
Seeing Zhang's production mode, I feel that this Peiyuan Pill lacks a homogeneous and different fire. This kind of strange fire is not very demanding, as long as the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials can be extracted, it is enough. But there needs to be enough of them, lots and lots, and of the same quality.
But this kind of flame, we have not found so far.
In fact, not only the Xinglintang, but also the Nine Yang Sect, the royal family, and even foreign countries have such problems. "
"So how is it?" Zhang Hao was stunned.
Zhou Jue and others were sent away, along with Lu Yang, Zhang Xinhan and others. Regarding the Zhang family's westward development plan and the division of interests, everyone also needs to go back and think about it, and need to communicate and discuss with their respective families and sects.
This time, the Zhang family showed their ambitions for steel shipbuilding, which also made them feel even heavier pressure.
Compared with the Zhang family, they have almost no advantages. The only crafting technology that can be used - the Xuanzhen Sect also has it! Zhang Hao's identity as a disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect made everyone hate him, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After seeing off the crowd, Zhang Hao let out a long breath, with a smile on his face.
In fact, from the day of crossing and waking up, almost all the way along the way is dancing on the tip of the knife. Zhang Hao is like a skilled chess player, carefully handling each chess piece, trying to achieve a balance, and strive for development space for the Zhang family.
Now, finally on the right track. Zhang Hao leaned on the door tired and relaxed, smiling, and quietly looking into the distance.
While thinking, a figure suddenly landed in the sky. Young Master Zhang froze for a moment, then looked intently, yo, old acquaintance—Feng Dongyuan.
As for Feng Dongyuan, seeing Zhang Hao leaning quietly at the door, obviously waiting for someone, he was a little dazed: "You know I'm coming?"
