Chapter 17: Boiling Water and the Failure of the Plague Bearer
Some craftsmen discovered the ingenuity of this device. They stayed under the discs and found that when the chains were pulled, the discs with fixed centers would start to rotate, which could save people a lot of effort.
These discs combined together could actually exert such great power?
Is this the knowledge that this school wants to teach students? If so, these craftsmen understand that the manual industry they belong to may be replaced by countless machines that can be operated by one person in a short time.
In terms of precision, as long as the mold is guaranteed to be fine, one person can produce a hundred times more products than they originally did.
And this can be done by only the simplest apprentices, so what do these engineers do?
"This thing is called a pulley. By placing it in the right position, it can save energy."
Ryan's voice drew people's attention back from this strange machine. "So what is energy? This is something you will learn in the second half of the semester. In the first semester, you only need to recognize and identify the materials around you and how to use them better."
People remained silent. It can be seen that these "engineers" born from craftsmen are not worthy of this name yet. They are almost eager to obtain the technology to mass-produce their own products, and they do not hide this desire.
If they can master this technology, they can defeat everyone in the industry.
Ryan just ignored these old guys like a hawk, and focused his attention on these new apprentices.
He asked someone to bring a stove rack, put firewood in it and started to boil water.
"Normally, matter has three forms: solid, liquid and gas. You melt metal into iron slurry, which is the process of changing matter from solid to liquid. When the iron slurry is cooled from high temperature, it changes from liquid to solid."
Ryan pointed to the furnace cover that had begun to emit steam, and then said: "Each substance requires a different temperature for its form change. If you can find a metal that can be transformed into gas at a temperature that we can achieve, then the school will provide a sum of money as a reward. This is also an assignment that apprentices of different skills can try to find."
Ryan gave these people a direction to explore with just a few words. Students can further understand and learn the most basic materials around them in school. It is hoped that the craftsmen who were appointed as engineers based on their original qualifications after the establishment of the association will not be complacent and can also participate in these studies.
After the water boiled, Ryan didn't care about it until the furnace cover began to flutter.
"This is the second direction I want to talk about today, steam. The steam released by boiling water in such a small furnace can only push a palm-sized lid. If we have a large pool of water and boil it all, the steam released may be equivalent to the pulling force of ten carriages."
"All the forces we use now are mostly human and animal power. If we can use the power of steam, we can make larger machines and drive these large machines for production."
When steam was mentioned, people were still a little confused and didn't quite understand the relationship between the pushed furnace lid and what Mr. Ryan said.
But when it was mentioned that steam power could be used on larger machines, people became interested.
If the machine just cast was enlarged ten times, it could be enlarged a hundred times, but such a machine is equipped with a pulley set, and human power cannot pull it open.
If steam power can pull such a machine to operate, the scene is simply unimaginable.
Ryan continued, "But the temperature provided by burning firewood is too low, so the second rewarding task is to find coal mines. Second, Terra must have its own coal mines."
The steam engine is the first starting point of the human industrial revolution, and it also has the lowest technical level requirements among all technological nodes.
The concept of pulleys and mechanical structures will be extended to gear machinery in the later stage, so that people can understand that mechanical structures can be large or small.
Steam provides power, and coal is used to boil water.
Such a transition will make it smoother for craftsmen to design usable steam engines, instead of sitting there staring at the boiling kettle.
After all, humans can't really build a big furnace just to see the proportionally enlarged kettle lid blown away by steam. How to turn these steam powers into forces that can operate mechanical structures is the top priority.
People calmed down again, and even the dullest apprentices were fantasizing about what more wonderful things there could be behind boiling water, which could be described by Master Ryan.
After all the students wore the double-headed eagle emblem, Ryan smiled and said:
"The next thing I want to talk about is hygiene."
He picked up the pot of boiling water and placed it in front of his desk.
Since the Nurgle Plague has already appeared in this world, if you don't prepare in advance, you are waiting to die.
At this moment, the power of the loving father will change with the changes in reality. In a world with environmental pollution, rampant diseases, and people unable to take good hygiene protection, the epidemic will be extremely powerful.
In a society with a clean environment and a popular concept of hygiene and health, the power of the loving father will be balanced, and the part that belongs to the epidemic will not be able to invade without interference.
Because the health of life is also one of the powers of the loving father.
The difference lies in the definition of health, and different beings may have some small cognitive differences.
He said: "Cooked food is usually safe and hygienic. Bedding exposed to the sun is more suitable for people to sleep than dark, damp and moldy haystacks. Washing your hands daily can prevent a lot of pollution from staying on the surface of the body, and even prevent germs from invading the respiratory and digestive systems. So the third thing is that every student needs to wash according to the college's hygiene regulations. When the tap water system completely covers all residential areas, everyone must follow the concept of healthy living."

People did not react so strongly to this matter, because it is nothing more than washing hands more often, cleaning the body more, and keeping the living environment clean and hygienic.
Even illiterate people can do it.
Ryan continued, "I will award rewards to every student who completes the school's rules and regulations on time, but those with bad hygiene habits will be expelled from the college if they cannot correct them. They will come back when they correct them."
People all agreed. After Ryan's first class, most of the craftsmen ran to the crude and simple machine and tried to pull the iron chain. They found that the strength of an adult could really pull up the cover plate of the mold.
After the apprentices were dismissed, they ran to their dormitories. Many of them needed to change their living habits. If they could not abide by the school's system, they would be expelled. This made them feel scared and hurried to check whether their beds and clothes needed to be changed.
But when they returned to the dormitory, they found that all the beds had been changed to white standard styles at the same time, and the standard-numbered college uniforms were placed on their beds.
"Maybe we should go take a shower. The school has a bathhouse with hot water. Otherwise, I don't dare to go back to the dormitory."
"I will wash and pay attention to hygiene every day in the future. It turns out that our living habits were so bad before."
"No wonder I often have diarrhea and often pick my teeth with dirty fingers. I didn't care about these things before. It turns out that there are so many tricks in it."
The students looked at each other and made up their minds to change their living habits.
Especially after leaving the old family workshop, they were able to communicate with their peers, care more about the impressions and opinions of their peers, and pay more attention to their appearance.
Ryan watched with satisfaction as things developed in the direction he hoped, and suddenly saw Bryce, who had finished his work, coming over.
"Stop, I don't think I need to attend any more meetings today. You can handle some things independently, so there's no need to come to me every time you have a meeting."
Bryce shook his beard awkwardly but politely, and then said:
"Sir, it's not about the meeting, it's about forming a guard. Although I don't know why the lord gave you this power, but we train all the soldiers to use muskets, is it really okay? Knight Kamo doesn't like muskets as a weapon. He thinks that muskets can't penetrate his armor. As long as the horse charges fast enough, he can bear the impact and slaughter the musket soldiers."
Ryan put down the tea he had just poured for himself, coughed a few times, and said seriously: "Call Kamo to me, I'll shoot him myself and see if I can blow his dog head."
"Sir, I'm here."
As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Kamo appeared behind Bryce. Recently, Kamo couldn't help with many urban construction projects. All he could do was patrol with knights and local guards to prevent the magician enemy from seeking revenge again.
Suddenly one day he heard that Lord Ryan had developed a new weapon that could allow a child to easily kill an adult guard wearing light armor.
This made Kamo very excited. If a child could kill an adult with this weapon, then if a powerful knight like him had this weapon, wouldn't he be able to fight ten people alone!
Happy Kamo went to find out, but he only saw a metal steel pipe of more than 70 centimeters. How to use this thing? Swing it up to hit people?
He held it in his hand and waved it a few times. Although the strength of this hollow steel pipe was amazing and it hurt when it hit people, it couldn't break through the light armor of the guards.
People can avoid being injured by this weapon by wearing thicker clothes. Children will be easily taken away by adults and then severely spanked.
The only use that Kamo could think of for this thing was to use it as a clothes drying rack?
As a result, when he looked up, the blacksmiths around him were looking at him with a look of a fool.
A blacksmith with an engineer badge demonstrated to him how to use a musket. After the tedious process of loading gunpowder and bullets, lighting the matchlock and shooting, the target dozens of meters away fell down.
The light armor on it was indeed pierced.
So Kamo hurried to find Bryce and asked to stop the development of this weapon.
After the school opening ceremony was completed today, Bryce brought Kamo to Ryan.
Ryan slowly opened his drawer and looked at the flintlock sample that was half the length of his arm. He looked up at Kamo and asked:
"The reason you want to stop making that kind of weapon is because these weapons take too long to reload every time they are fired, long enough for the knight's horse to charge close, knocking the unprotected gun holder away, or even killing him directly."
Kamo nodded heavily and said: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and soldiers who are skilled in swordsmanship can deal with various situations. But weapons that can only shoot once in a period of time are even more powerless than bows and arrows. At least some gods The archer can shoot continuously, and although the crossbow cannot penetrate the armor, it is more convenient to make. If the lord plans to rely on these weapons to deal with the principality in the future——"
Kamo even expressed his deepest thoughts in front of Bryce and Ryan.
He could see that the lord had completely handed over this city to Ryan to take care of, and to cultivate the power to fight against the Mandala Principality.
The Mast family has been loyal to the Will family for generations, and he must not let this weapon bring Turin to its end.
However, his words did not move Ryan at all. Instead, the latter chuckled, took out the flintlock gun from the drawer, and pulled out the firing device at the back.

He looked at Kamo and asked, "How long does it take to reload the musket."
Kamo replied: "Twenty-seven seconds, this is too long. The projectile must be poured in slowly from the front end to prevent the sparks from friction from igniting sparks."
Ryan nodded, raised the firing device of the flintlock gun in his hand, and asked: "So the rear ends of all matchlock guns currently produced are replaceable parts. When the technology matures, this rear device will be installed. Bullet firing device.”
He opened the back cover and inserted the projectile, which only took a second.
It only takes five seconds to close the firing pin and introduce gunpowder.
"The reloading time of the flintlock gun will be saved by five-sixths." Ryan put down the gun, found some small objects from the table, and arranged them in a row. "In addition, there are more than three rows of musketeers taking turns to shoot, alternately The queue can fill these five seconds and ensure the continuous output of the front. "
Ryan looked at Kamo again and smiled: "I understand your thoughts and am willing to answer your questions. In the future, the name knight will only be used as an honor or title, rather than a specific military branch. Just like today's blacksmith When they see the concept of mass production machines, they will also be afraid and dissatisfied. If you want to follow my footsteps and stay by my side, I need you and your knights to join in learning from tomorrow. If you can’t keep up with me, you are not qualified to stand side by side with me.”
Kamo closed his mouth tightly, his breath a little disordered, and after a moment, he said:
"I understand, my lord."
He then left.
Bryce looked at Ryan suspiciously and asked, "This is it?"
Ryan laughed out loud and said, "Didn't he say that he knew? After all, he is the one I like, so I can still understand this."
While the Academy's health system is announced, the unknown aspects of the Warp are revealed.
Several plague bearers are trying to stuff a fatter kind into the gap in reality that they left.
"Hoo ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!"
"No, the gap in reality is closing. That remote world suddenly has more power, and it can no longer meet our requirements for coming to the real world!"
"Damn it, you must be too fat. If it were me, I would have crawled over by now."
"No, no, no, no, someone must be targeting us and want to report this matter to the Great Unclean One."
"That's too troublesome. The big guys are very angry recently and have their own plans. Maybe the real world we are targeting is already the target of an adult. Let's look for gaps in other realities. Our loving father has always taught us Accept the reality, if this one doesn’t work, just change it to another one!”
"Then next one!"
"Then next one!"
The Plague Bearers shouted in unison, so much so that the Nurglings sleeping at their feet were woken up, thinking that another cauldron was cooking, and they followed behind them and started shouting.
