Chapter 7 Baggage

"Is this... a steam engine?"

Chen Mu saw it, um, what should I say?

The only one that looks similar to what he imagined was the flywheel.

He saw a kiln with chimneys built on the kiln. The chimneys turned on the wall. Two iron rods were connected to the big flywheel on the left and right, and one back and forth, one back and forth, Chen Mu was worried.

But this is a kiln with completely sealed bones.

There is a furnace under the kiln. On the kiln is a piece of glazed glass in his letter. The connection corners between the glazed glass and the brick kiln can be determined to be an iron boiler in the brick kiln. The glazed glass cannot be completely transparent, but the amount of water inside can be roughly seen.

"How to add water and how to deflate it?"

Guan Jiang pulled out a palm-long iron bar from the kiln, pulled open the three-inch square iron drawer like a drawer, and steam came out with a hissing, saying, "So deflated."

After saying that, the old man stepped on the stool and pointed at a few half-bamboo poles that stretched out from the next yard on the kiln, patted the side of the kiln and said, "There are two layers inside and there is an iron baffle in the middle. As long as you press it outside, the water can rise to the same height. This bamboo tube will store water after pulling it."

Chen Mu felt that Guan Yuangu was playing a bit high, so he pointed to the crooked chimney and asked, "What is the piston there for?"

"Skin, one layer of iron sheet and two layers of leather, a total of six layers of nails together. The iron sheet is just a little smaller, and the bricks are also iron cylinders, and there is no air leakage." Guan Yuangu was quite satisfied with the steam engine and said, "It can be used for a long time, and it is not expensive to replace it after being worn out. It is just that the strength is small. If it is allowed to lie down, it can grind the rice."

Mill rice, now this kiln can’t do anything.

The steam kiln is no longer small in size and has a strong strength. It can be used to knock it around with ten hammers. Ten of these may lead to the textile factory in Xiangshan. Of course, the loom is also improved.

But the problem is not this, the problem is the utilization rate of heat conversion kinetic energy. Lao Guan doesn't understand this thing. Lao Guan can make the steam engine rotate, but he can no longer make it rotate faster, nor can he reduce consumption.

If a textile mill can use this, it can also be used by the huge profits of the textile mill, but others can't afford it.

If you can't afford to burn, you can't sell it to others. If you can't sell it to others, you can't work together. The next thing can't be done by a single person, and it will take a generation of people to think about it.

"Guan Jiang, go to Tuen Mun. When he returns to Nanyang Port, Chen will start the war. He doesn't care about these things. I have someone to make a Taoist temple in Tuen Mun and hire some Taoist priests. At that time, Guan Jiang Jiang will help me take care of them, and it will be two things."

Chen Mu stretched out a finger and said, "I want to make it smaller, or find a way to make him stronger, another one."

"Give the Taoist magnets and copper wires, let them take them to think about it."

If it can be successful, Chen Mu might make another small light bulb. In the future, if the gods worshipped in Tuen Mun Taoist Temple are not well done, they will have to change their name. It doesn’t matter if they can’t figure it out, but he has more important things to do now.

Two years ago, a barren port has now become the first choice military camp for Guangdong Navy. Nanyang Port is in the east and Navy Port is in the west. To be precise, Chen Lin's Navy Port truly holds the gateway to Guangdong. Based on the idea that Yang's craftsmen do not need to be useless, Chen Lin built a fort on more than ten small islands at Lingdingyangkou.

From Haojing to Nanyang Port, the two major islands, Shenxianjing East and East Dalu and Dongshan, were built in water villages, almost completely blocking the Lingdingyang.

Nanyang Port has been frequently mobilized recently.

The five thousand-household offices of the Nanyang Military Department have each drawn half of the flag troops to the island to station troops. In addition to the main Nanyang Army, they have also drawn all the Guangdong Dushi District guards to send strong troops.

Many guards in Guangdong Metropolitan have different quality. Even if the strict marching law urges the local guards to train troops according to the training manual and use the Nanyang Guard to supply their troops, they are not as strong as the Nanyang Guard's new flag army. Chen Mu can mobilize the capacity of the military ships, so he simply recruits only the most powerful soldiers, only quality but not quantity.

Nanyang Port has entered the preparation stage before the war begins.

At the port, Zhao Shizhen and Xu Wei came together.

Mr. Xu actually did nothing else after leaving Xuan Mansion. Although he looked distracted at the time, Xu Wei felt very clear. He did something in the capital and Shaoxing, and his first stop to visit was Guangdong. If he wanted to join General Chen's shogunate, he had to know what kind of person he was.

I can't move my legs when I come.

Through the distance, I saw the Chihai stopping on the sea. I saw Yu, the guards, who went out to sea on a small shark boat and gunboat, and returned home with a lot of fishing. Xu Wei cried like a child on the shore.

This is a magical tool!

There were these ships and cannons, and there were no Japanese riots.

Later in the days when Xu Wei fell asleep in Guangzhou Prefecture and woke up to drink. Suddenly one day he heard that the court sent Chen Mu back to Guangdong and threw his old clothes on the side of the road and took a boat to Chen Mu to report.

"Ming Gong, I bought another 40,000 shi of military grain from Guangcheng, which cost 26,800 taels of silver. Within three days, the grain ship was transported from Guangcheng to Nanyang Port." Zhao Shizhen got off the ship and saw Chen Mu unboxing at the port to inspect the arms transport, and stepped forward and said with a fist: "Ming Gong said that pickled vegetables and dried rice will still take time. Each garrison is rushing to prepare and can be delivered to Guangcheng within ten days."

The pickles have neither sauce nor vegetables. They are three liters of fermented black beans and five kilograms of salt. They are mashed into paste and crushed into cakes. After drying, they are sealed to replace the pickles to replenish salt. The dried rice is made into dried rice and sealed into boxes. When eaten, they are soaked in hot water.

Chen Mu aimed at the target with a gun, knocked the gun barrel and put it back into the long wooden box covered with hay, nodded, turned his head and asked the abbot seven times, "Where are the pigs, cattle and sheep transported to Nanyang Port?"

"There is a huge amount to go back to Chen Shuai, and the garrisons in various places are still transporting. If it weren't for the imitation of Nanyang garrisons in the past two years, it would not be enough to raise livestock in various places."

There are 4,000 salted fish, 1,000 chickens and ducks, 500 pigs and sheep, and 100 cattle. How easy is this to be placed in the Guangdong Dusi three years ago? Even if there is a military order now, it will be a pain for them to mobilize these livestock.

It’s easy to say that it’s not easy for each thousand households to hand over two cows.

"Apart from the salted fish, you can make 30,000 kilograms of jerky. Hachiro, you can do this. Those who are greedy for three taels of meat will be killed."

My son is the best at doing this. Hachiro agreed without saying a word. Then Chen Mu asked the most critical question: "How have the troops dispatched from various places gathered?"

Xu Wei bowed and said, "When returning to Chen Gong, Guangzhou Prefecture has gathered more than 4,700 flag troops, and nearly 5,000 people have not arrived. The commander-in-chief Sun Ao is temporarily in charge. Commander Sun asked when will they be transferred?"

"No need to adjust, let them stay in Guangcheng first, don't come to me to eat food - Lin Feng, has Lu Shan grown up?"

"When they come over, they will summon the generals and officials from various departments to Chen's house to discuss matters."
