Su Lin was not aware of the confrontation between the Nine-tailed Demon Fox and Hong Liyu. At this time, he welcomed the Mohist Confucian scholars who were rushing to the death and excitedly came together.

At that time, on the seashore of the East China Sea, Xiangkai was riding on the giant ship of the silhouette. He was a disciple of Su Ye, the eldest son of the Su family. He was in charge of the Mohist family and was good at mechanical techniques, but was awakened by Su Lin's words and went back carefully to study the power of steam.

"It's almost half a year since this object was opened. Suddenly, I came to me in a hurry. Could it be that I really developed the steam engine?"

Thinking of this, Su Lin was also a little excited. What does the steam engine represent? It is a magical tool that can promote the first industrial revolution! Especially after the steam engine developed, driving the development of a series of power machines such as diesel engines is an important invention that can subvert any world.

"Hey! Prince, the idea you put forward about the power of steam has indeed made me suddenly realize. After I returned, I devoted myself to studying how to turn the power of steam into the power of the giant ship. Even with this type of power, I can expand to more mechanisms."

When Xiang Kaiwu saw Su Lin, he was very excited, as if he had seen a pointer in the darkness. However, his overall mood was still a little depressed. He was really puzzled and said to Su Lin, "At the beginning, our research was very correct, and everything was developing very well. However, when we were about to succeed completely, strange phenomena occurred."

"A strange phenomenon? What is that? Xiang Jinshi, since you are studying it in this direction, in my opinion, it is definitely not difficult to create a machine driven by steam with the precision of your Mohist government. What kind of strange thing is going on? Tell me quickly."

Seeing the look of the open objects, Su Lin knew that he might not have found a way to really use steam. I think the manufacturing of steam engines was not done in a moment. It was only after several improvements that he could be thoroughly applied to industry.

Su Lin himself is a half-baked high school student. His knowledge of physics such as steam engines only comes from the simple principles in the books. He may be able to speak out the principles and ideas of making them well. However, if Su Lin wants to make a steam engine by himself, he does not have the ability or ability.

Therefore, Su Lin did not dare to speak too much. Before he could figure out what was going on, he could only comfort Xiang Kaiyu and said: "Xiang Jinshi, the power of steam I mentioned to you before was just a little bit of my personal thoughts. As for whether this power can be controlled in his hands and used to create powerful mechanisms and machines, I can't say it.

And you are a Confucian scholar of the Mohist school. Your attainments in mechanical skills are already very high, not something I can compare with. Since you can't solve the problem, I'm afraid it's hard for me to help, but you can tell me what's going on..."

"Criminal, I don't know what's going on. I'm about to succeed. But I made a sound without any signs and exploded. I brought all the things. Can I find an open space in the mansion and I will demonstrate it to the prince?"

Xiang Kaiwu pointed at the follower who was following him, carrying several large boxes, and said respectfully.

"Oh? That's right, go to the garden in my mansion to demonstrate. The steam engine actually explodes? This is really strange! The gas is too swelling?"

Only after quickly letting Xiangkaiwu and others build everything in the open space in the garden, Su Lin saw clearly that the steam engine made by Xiangkaiwu was really quite exquisite. Moreover, almost all the structures were made of fine iron.

What's even more rare is that Su Lin could see that the steam engines created by Xiang Kaiwu and others through exploration were no different from the early steam engines he saw in the textbook.

The principle of a steam engine is actually very simple. It is to require a boiler that boils water to produce high-pressure steam. This boiler can use wood, coal, oil, or natural gas or even garbage as heat sources. By burning and boiling water, the steam expansion generated pushes the piston to do work. Early steam engines used the vacuum generated when steam condensed to do work, while later steam expansion was used to do work.

The assembled steam engine in front of Su Lin has such a structure, which has a boiler and a piston. From the exquisiteness of the machine, Su Lin can see that the phase opening has undergone repeated exploration and construction.

"As for Jinshi, your machine is very precisely made. On the surface, I look perfect, and there is no problem. Moreover, your piston and pump are made of fine iron, which can withstand extremely high expansion pressure and cannot produce an explosion!"

Su Lin used his only physical knowledge to conduct a comprehensive evaluation and consideration of this steam engine that can be said to be the first steam engine ever built in Tianren Continent. The result was that it was a very excellent steam engine with no problems in all aspects and could be used normally.

In Su Lin's view, it is only necessary to connect this steam engine to the power core of the Shipeng giant ship, and it can immediately replace the Wenbao power on the Shipeng giant ship, and can sail completely by steam power.

"Criminal, this is also something I can't figure out. According to the method of our Mohist family, there will definitely be no explosion. However, at the last moment, when the steam power is about to be reflected, an explosion occurred!"

The people started to burn wood and started the steam engine. Su Lin observed carefully from the side, wanting to see where the problem was.

The overall design of the steam engine is very modern and industrial. Compared with the steam engines designed by foreigners at the beginning, Su Lin felt that the ones made with the Mohist mechanism are more sophisticated. At the same time, they are also very exquisite and easy to carry.

Because of the problem of easy handling, the steam engine is divided into several parts that can be disassembled and assembled. Just like various complex machinery and equipment in modern industry, each part can be disassembled and repaired separately. Even if there is a problem with any part, it can be replaced separately.

"In this Tianren Continent, the power of the Mohist school is not only reflected in the sacred power of thought. The superb mechanical skills alone are the leading in industrial manufacturing. If I can really guide the Mohist school to develop the prototype of modern science, it will be enough to subvert the entire world's forces..."

Su Lin actually didn't expect it himself, but he inspired the Mohist Confucian scholars to open things like a try. After a few months, he really took out the finished steam engine.

"Prince, everything is ready. According to my design and expectation, wood burning will burn the water in the boiler into steam, and then the steam is sent to the cylinder through the pipe steam... and then it can push the piston movement..."

Xiang Kaiwu pointed to the steam engine in front of him and explained to Su Lin, "But everything happened according to the expected plan at the beginning until the piston was about to start being pushed...it was..."

Bang!

Before he finished speaking, it seemed that in order to match the explanation of Jingkai, the entire steam engine exploded violently, and all the parts were blown out, and some parts were directly blown into pieces. The hot steam and boiling water also splashed out. Fortunately, Jingkaikai and others were already prepared, so no one was injured.

"Exploded? It actually exploded! What's the reason? Moreover, I just saw that the steam engine was not exploded because of the pressure of steam expansion. The cylinder made of refined iron can definitely withstand the pressure of steam..."

Su Lin was also a little incredible when he saw this strange phenomenon with his own eyes. There was no problem with the steam engine from principle to structure to manufacture, but in the end it was about to succeed. When the internal energy was completely transformed into kinetic energy, an inexplicable explosion occurred.

What was going on? Su Lin couldn't figure it out. Although his physics was not very good, he could also know that it was definitely not because of the structure of the machine.

"This is how! Xiang Jinshi, if you build a steam engine again, I have to take a closer look at what went wrong and caused the steam engine to explode."

Su Lin didn't pay much attention to the observation just now, so he only saw the result of the explosion, but did not notice at all what happened during the explosion and what caused the explosion.

"Okay! But... the prince, my subordinates have tried it no less than ten times, and each time it was like this explosion. There was no specific reason at all. I even replaced the material of the cylinder with stainless steel and gold and silver, and the same effect was also achieved without any improvement."

The people who had opened the steam engine again, but they had no hope in their hearts. Originally, he thought that Su Lin could come up with the idea of ​​steam as power, probably because he had made relevant power machines. Otherwise, how could ordinary people want to use steam as power?

However, Su Lin is now incredible in the face of this explosion, and Su Lin also admitted that he mentioned steam at that time was just an idea. He knew that he might have been in vain for this trip to the prince's mansion.

"Hey! If we can really master the power of steam, our Mo family will have our own power. We can even completely get rid of the power of holy power and ideological power, use the knowledge of our Mo family, and use the power of steam to completely change the world..."

Xiang Kaiwu's mind was full of longing. Over the past few months, he has been building steam engines day and night, hoping that there will be such a day.
