Chapter 532: Make the Boiler Quickly
The moonlight was dim.
Under the bright sky, all creatures seemed to have fallen asleep.
The insects stopped chirping, and some birds were cuddling each other on the branches, which was particularly sweet.
However, at this warm and quiet moment.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Clang, clang, clang..."
This movement scared the birds, and they grabbed the bark with their claws and cried in panic.
"Ah! Ah!..."
In panic, the wings kept flying, and the feathers began to scatter on the grass.
However, this sound continued to come from the blacksmith shop.
Under the night, the blacksmith shop was still lit up.
In the shop, Tang Yan was still telling everyone to work.
"Hurry up, hurry up and start the punch press!
Not enough! The frequency is not enough! You guys use all your strength!
Also, that lathe! The lathe is not fast enough, do you understand me? Increase the force!"
"Yes! Tangtou!"
Several blacksmiths responded and worked harder.
The door has been welded shut, and they can't get out now!
Since it has come to this, we might as well increase the force!
"Tangtou, the punch press seems a little tight!"
"This is normal, it's like this the first time, press it down with a little force, and it will be fine after you get used to it!"
"Yes!"
The subordinate responded and gritted his teeth and continued to work hard.
"Bang!"
The cylindrical main shaft of the punch press finally rushed down, making a muffled sound.
However, with this impact, some red spilled out.
Seeing this, Tang Yan stepped forward to take a look.
"Oh my god, why did the vegetable oil spill out? It was so hard just now. Was it because the lubrication was not done well?"
After tinkering with it again for a while,
Tang Yan nodded and ordered:
"It should be fine now, swing the lever and continue to punch, and make the boiler quickly!"
"Yes!"
After the episode just now, the operation of the punch press also returned to normal.
The swing speed of the lever was faster, and it kept going up and down.
At the same time.
As the lever swung, the cylindrical spindle of the punch press and the piston in the lathe were also constantly moving repeatedly!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Hang, bang, bang!"
"..."
Amid the repeated metal collisions, the atmosphere in the blacksmith shop seemed particularly tense.
In addition, due to the fatigue of the staff, the movements of the men had some deviations.
"Ouch, it hurts so much!"
Hearing this, Tang Yan stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
The shouting man pointed to the lathe and then to a mark on his face.
"Just now, I accidentally pressed my face on the wheel (flywheel) of this lathe! Look at my face, it's all wheel marks!"
"Don't tell me these useless things! Even if your faces are full of wheel marks, don't think about running away before the work is done!"
Tang Yan pointed at the lathe: "Quick, keep turning on the lathe!"
...
I don't know how long it took.
The boiler was finally built.
"Huh... It's finally done."
Looking at the boiler in front of them reflecting the white metal light, a group of blacksmiths breathed a sigh of relief.
This time the work was too strenuous, it was really not easy!
After a short rest, Tang Yan ordered:
"Quick, boil water in the boiler and try the effect!"
Hearing this, several blacksmiths started to work again.
After filling it with water, they immediately threw carbon and dry firewood into the burning part.
Soon after, a fierce fire was generated in the combustion chamber, and the boiler was constantly heating up.
As the heat increased, the water inside began to boil.
Then, a round hole above the boiler began to spray out large amounts of water vapor.
"Tangtou, look, a round hole in this boiler has begun to exhaust gas!"
"Isn't this normal? This small hole is originally used to transmit gas, otherwise how can the steam engine work?!"
After saying this, Tang Yan began to check other parts of the boiler.
On top of this boiler, a whistle structure was also made, which can make sounds by using steam movement.
Thinking of this, Tang Yan pulled a rope next to the boiler.
As the rope was pulled, a large amount of steam sprayed out from the small hole above the boiler, and a sound was made at the same time.
"WU——!"
"WU——!"
...
The next day.
The sky was bright.
"Oh, oh——!"
With the light pouring into the window and the sound of the rooster crowing, Jiang Tian opened his eyes from the haze.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Cai Wenji, who was nestled in his arms, also opened her eyes at the same time, looking at him infatuatedly.
"Master, good morning."
"Um... good morning..."
Although it was a very common good morning greeting, Jiang Tian felt a little embarrassed today.
"Hehe..."
Seeing Jiang Tian like this, Cai Wenji smiled sweetly and stuck to him.
At this moment.
"Hoo..."
A snoring sound pulled the two back from their trance, and then they felt someone getting out of bed next to them.
Jiang Tian turned around and saw that the Leopard Girl was sleeping soundly on the mat on the floor, and Li Xiuning squatted beside her to tidy up the quilt.
Feeling the movement, Li Xiuning turned around and looked at the two of them, her face flushed as she greeted them.
"Master... Cai Cai, good morning..."
Seeing this scene, Jiang Tian took stock of his situation.
However, he discovered that the quilt that had been kicked aside had been covered up on him at some point.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tian felt a little embarrassed.
"Ahem, what about...Xiu'er, when did you...come back last night?"
"This...I can't remember clearly. Master, I'm going to boil water now."
After saying that, Li Xiuning stood up and prepared to walk out of the room.
At the same time, Cai Wenji also wanted to sit up.
"Master, I have to go to work too."
However, Cai Wenji seemed a little uncomfortable today and her body was a little weak.
Jiang Tian pressed it down and ordered:
"I haven't given you a day off for so long. You don't have to go to work today. Just lie down and have a good rest."
"OK……"
Cai Wenji nodded obediently, then blinked her big eyes, her expression a little awkward.
"But Master...the weather is nice today, and I want to wash the sheets."
At this time, Li Xiuning murmured:
"Leave this to me..."
Jiang Tian glanced at the other party and nodded.
"Yeah, that's okay... Xiu'er, you also have a day off today and spend a day resting with Yan'er.
I will arrange for Lu Bu to watch over there at the fishing place, so don't worry. "
After an arrangement was made, the two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
Soon the hot water is ready.
After washing up, Jiang Tian changed his clothes and walked out of the house.
At this time, a group of subordinates just walked out of the houses where they lived.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Tian called Lu Bu and some members of the fishing club over and gave instructions:
"Lu Bu, you will temporarily take over the work today and go to the fishing place to stay for a while."
"Yes, my lord!"
After Lu Bu responded, several members of the fishing department asked curiously:
"Boss, why is General Lu leading us today? Where are Mr. Cai and General Li?"
When this question was brought up, Jiang Tian coughed twice.
"Today...Cai Wenji is a little unwell today. She is on vacation. Li Xiuning is staying with her..."
However.
Jiang Tian suddenly discovered that these members of the fishing department didn't pay any attention to him, but looked behind him, looking dumbfounded.
Not only that.
Except for them, the other members nearby stood blankly, looking in the same direction.
Jiang Tian looked back and saw Li Xiuning holding the staggering Cai Wenji out of the room.
Cai Wenji was still holding a large ball in her hand.
After being stared at by everyone, the two of them turned red and strode towards the hut that was used as the laundry room.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Tian was also a little embarrassed.
However, before he could say anything, there was a burst of cheers from his men behind him.
“ohhhhhhhh!!!”
