Chapter 213 The Hard-Pressed Twain Wants to Go on Strike

Before Tang En took over Ellington, this place had long been a territory struggling at the bottom of the poverty line. The people here had to accept the exploitation and oppression of one temporary lord after another. He didn't have a few gold coins, and his life was miserable.

After Tang En became the lord, drastic reforms injected vitality into Ellington. Now the residents of Ellington have stable jobs. Although the food reserves are still insufficient, Fiona, with Tang En's permission, , allocating funds to purchase food from the nearby Fort Casparmi and the mountain town of Bein, so that the residents of Ellington can already have enough to eat.

More importantly, after having a full meal, they have goals and see hope.

The construction goals that Twain set for Ellington gave everyone the motivation to work hard. Everyone participated and contributed their own strength, hoping to make Ellington better. This made Elling The whole area has become a vibrant place.

However, any person on earth who has received compulsory education knows that food issues are the fundamental issue for the survival and development of a country.

As the saying goes, if Africa's agriculture is underdeveloped, we all need money...ah! Food is the most important thing for the people. If agriculture is not developed and agricultural products are not abundant, no amount of wealth can make a country stable.

So Jin Kela...ah, bah, bah, bah! Having enough food is the first pursuit of human beings!

Tang En knew very well that a country with underdeveloped agriculture could not become the most powerful country in the world, and the same was true of replacing the concept of country with territory.

If you don't pay attention to food production and don't store food for the people, once a war breaks out and the food supply is cut off, Ellington will be in chaos without a war. Therefore, Ellington must be strong. The food problem does not rely on external imports to solve the food problem. Relying on imports is equivalent to handing over your right to survival to others.

So importing food from other town territories all the time is definitely not a long-term option.

In the world of Purandar, there is a huge gap between the people at the bottom and the rich at the top. The serious lack of productivity at the bottom has led to an extreme shortage of food production and supply. Therefore, purchasing food is not only expensive, but also difficult.

Therefore, agricultural reform is necessary and urgent.

Tang En does not major in agriculture, nor does he understand biotechnology, so it is impossible to expect him to carry out any too advanced technological revolution. All he can do is to use what he knows on earth that can be used in Purandal. Things and concepts were copied mechanically.

As long as there is no trouble and it works, he is satisfied.

The first step he could think of was to develop agricultural machinery such as cultivators and combine harvesters to achieve mechanized agricultural production.

As mentioned before, Tang En is not a mechanical major, but he knows the general appearance and effects of these agricultural machinery, and can even guess a little bit of their principles, which is enough.

In the nearly ten thousand years of development of the world in Purandar, classes have held power and restricted the self-development of the people at the bottom. However, there is no shortage of talents here, but inspiration.

What Tang En has to do is to be the one who breaks the shackles, conveys the spark of thought to them, and at the same time shares the magical power he possesses to speed up the development of this world.

He drew the appearance drawings, wrote down the functions, and annotated the principles he could guess and thought of next to them. Then, he handed the drawings to professionals, namely Brian and Edgar, who were both blacksmiths. , as well as Nokia and others who have an engineering background.

After handing it over to them, there wasn't much that Tang En could do. He could only hope that they could use the drawings and "inspiration" he took out to reverse engineer these agricultural machinery.

Now it seems that the result is very gratifying.

Clotho is worthy of being the most powerful craftsman in the dwarf kingdom. He and his team of assistants actually deduced the internal structure of these agricultural machinery based on the prototype drawings proposed by Tang En. He even deduced the internal structure of these agricultural machinery in many places. I added improvements based on my own understanding to make these machines more in line with the "aesthetics" of dwarves...

Hmm...actually, the cockpit is miniaturized.

After giving them rewards, Tang En asked Edgar and the apprentices to sign a confidentiality contract. After all, the universal alloy is a very important thing, and leaking it will greatly affect Ellington's subsequent development. .

As for Brian, you can save this step.

Although this guy is a talker, the dwarf's moral integrity is still there, and he will not reveal anything that his friends told him to keep secret.

Brian took Tang En to the backyard, then pointed to a small circle of combine harvesters and said: "This is a sample we made in those few days. Because it was almost time to harvest the crops, we prioritized conquering the combine harvesters, but The power hasn’t been determined yet, so I haven’t been able to try it.”

Tang En went up and took a look. The place where the engine should be installed was now empty. This thing was still just an empty shell.

"I know, I can solve the power problem right away."

"marvelous!"

Nokia jumped up and rushed out: "I'll go back and inform Master Cloto. He said you must contact him when you solve the power problem!"

Tang En was stunned.

Brian shrugged: "Understand it. When these dwarfs meet you, they have found a soulmate. They like to study this kind of thing the most."

While Master Clotto didn't come over, Tang En began to think about the engine problem.

As mentioned in the previous discussion with Clotto, although the internal combustion engine is very explosive and abundant, the existing processing technology of Plandar cannot produce a usable cylinder at all, and with Tang En's knowledge reserve, he It was also impossible to come up with something like an internal combustion engine, so we had to give up.

In fact, there was only one way before Tang En.

Although Purandar has electric magic and seems to be able to harness electrical energy, it requires finding an efficient and usable permanent magnet. With efficient permanent magnets, the magic array can be used to convert magic power into stable electrical energy to make a simple motor engine - he still understands the electromagnetic effect.

The advantage of the motor engine is that it performs work through electromagnetic effect, has less friction loss, and has relatively high energy conversion efficiency. It seems to be a very good choice?

However, please note that the difficulty of the motor engine is that the process requirements are high and the materials are not available to Tang En.

Someone said that if there are no permanent magnets, electromagnets can be used.

Yes, it is possible, but if all electromagnets are used, how to solve the phase transformation of the current? This is another big unsolvable problem. Purandar does not have a programmed smart chip to control the current phase.

So the only way Tang En could use was to use wind energy.

Make a turbine fan, and then use the wind magic circle to convert the magic into stable wind energy to make a turbine engine.

Because turbine engines perform physical work, they have high losses and low energy conversion rates. However, in fact, due to the discovery of universal alloys, using wind energy is the best choice.

The light-weight, high-temperature-resistant Mithril alloy has been developed. Isn’t this an excellent material for turbine fans and combustion chambers?

There is also friction-resistant and corrosion-resistant magic iron alloy. Wouldn’t it be an excellent choice for bearings?

The fine gold alloy with high strength and toughness can be used as the main structure of engines and various machinery!

The discovery of universal alloy will definitely be a revolution in the development history of Purandal!

Tang En already had experience in designing wind energy water pumps before. Now he just made the design of the water pump more complicated and multi-stage... Well, that's all.

That's right, Tang En just wants to develop a turbojet engine for jet aircraft!

Although I know that there is a lot of complicated physics knowledge and process requirements in it, and it is not as simple as imagined, but... who cares?

The key question now is whether it can be used, not whether it will explode, right?

Explosions are completely unavoidable in the process of scientific development. As long as no one is killed (probably), the losses are completely acceptable.

"Well...if I remember correctly, the simple divisions are intake, compression, combustion, and injection..."

Tang En muttered while writing and drawing on the paper. He first drew the appearance of the aircraft engine in his memory, and then began to think about the internal structure. The turbine blades were naturally indispensable, and he also knew the blowholes, but the internal structure What is the turbine configuration? What does a pressurized combustion chamber look like? What is the principle? He knew nothing about these key points.

"(Chinese) It's really confusing..."

"Lord Lord?"

Fiona heard Tang En's thoughts and looked confused: "What were you talking about just now?"

"nothing."

Tang En sighed, and casually drew the multi-stage turbine blade pressurization structure that he finally remembered, and muttered: "I really want to quit and find a place to live in peace. I don't care if it's a flood or the end of the world in a hundred years." …”

Fiona understood this sentence, and she immediately became nervous: "Lord, you can't think like this, you are me... the only hope for all of us!"

The only hope... This heavy sense of trust is not a good thing.

Tang En smiled bitterly and said, "I know, it's just a casual sigh."

"Sentiment? What are you feeling?"

At this time, Clotto's voice suddenly came in, and the next moment he saw Clotto holding a broom head and rushing in with a loud smile: "Tang En, I heard that you decided on the power source of the combine harvester? Where is it? Woolen cloth?"

Tang En stood up and said with a smile: "Master Cloto, you came really fast."

"Of course. If you can develop a powerful and effective power source, the technology of our dwarf kingdom will also be of endless use."

Clotto laughed loudly and said: "Besides, I heard from Nokia that you have produced very good special materials here? I am also very interested."

Tang En waved his hand: "In that case, let's study it together, please!"
