Chapter 937 Let Liu Qingjing snort
One day later, the railway passed the acceptance.
However, Gao Fangping, who was persecuted, was still worried and specially invited Empress Dowager Liu Qingjing, and several elite craftsmen from Beijing and county to accompany him, and walked along the Beijing Railway.
Every place and every roadbed was inspected and treated as a hiking exercise.
Of course Gao Fangping understood the principle of railways, but whenever he encountered a place with dense roadbed spacing, Gao Fangping would stop and ask deliberately: "Why did the previous section of the roadbed spacing be 50 cm apart, but the ones here were 35 cm apart?"
Faced with his intentional inquiry, Liu Qingjing felt very present and said proudly: "Xiao Gao Gong has nothing to know. This is the theoretical point of pressure. After the initial geological measurement, although the selected sections are relatively qualified and do not require special heavy pressure. However, the hardness of the soil layer between the roads is still somewhat different. Those sections with loose subgrade crossbars are relatively hard places, and fifty centimeters are enough. But now, in order to increase the focus and reduce the pressure on local land, not only does the arrangement of subgrade crossbars need to be more dense."
"Oh." Gao Fangping nodded while touching his chin, pretending to be stupid.
He asked again: "In order to speed up the construction period, our construction is relatively hasty, which is a bit like a face-saving project. This time it is the first railway designed by the Royal Academy. Our temporary simple road roller is not enough. I am careful that in the rainy season, will this railway still be embarrassed?"
Empress Dowager Liu smiled proudly and said, "Young Master, don't worry, this is measured and designed. It is indeed a face-saving project, but according to your first special train that is less than 100 tons, less than 20 knots, and the load and speed are increased by one floor every year in the future, then the Ai family is confident that this railway can withstand within ten years and does not require excessive repeated construction."
In this way, Gao Fangping was really relieved. This railway was limited to the current technology and equipment, and the suspicion of rushing work was too different from later generations. It was indeed a bit like a tofu project. However, we still had to respect the scientific model proposed by Gao Fangping himself, and had already made enough margins, and had been measured and designed. Gao Fangping also believed that such a railway would support a special train of 1,000 tons, and the speed of running forty knots would not work. However, the current large bearing capacity and the thrust-to-weight ratio of the backward turbines of the Academy of Engineering will be enough within fifteen years. That's enough.
Fifteen years later, it would be enough to redesign based on the technology and trends at that time, but that cost was not too high. The biggest problem with railway construction is the issue of ownership of road rights. In fact, the labor and material costs themselves are not too expensive...
Jingxian is just outside Bianjing, and this large-scale industrial base is just next to the Beijing Railway. They have their own railway tracks and the urban railway docking within Jingxian County.
So, after the ship arrived in Jiangzhou, a group of special engineering craftsmen began to assemble the turbines and locomotives in a large workshop in Beijing.
In the large open workshop, Gao Fangping watched the whole process, and was also cheering.
The equipment and tools here are already very comprehensive, and the team's internal cooperation is also very orderly and skillful, and everything seems to be very professional.
Looking back at that time, this Jing County was still a place mainly used for pig farming. A small number of craftsmen were also quite grassroots inside, and they were rough in their work. They were almost unwilling to accept the other, and they were busy with their own personal heroism.
All of this compares to the next generation.
At the last moment, everything was ready, the primitive, bulky, stupid and thick locomotive had been assembled.
Then the chief engineer of the trip came over to greet him and said, "Gao Xiang, the front of the car has been assembled, and requested a ignition and test drive."
Gao Fangping was disappointed. This ghost thing was really not a thing compared to the bullet-like high-speed rail front in later generations in memory. However, it was a milestone thing, and it was the foundation accumulated by the Song Dynasty for many years.
So Gao Fangping also said excitedly: "Approve the ignition test drive."
Boom... Boom Boom...
After the fire was ignited, the smoke was scattered and the sound was shocking, just like the monsters in Journey to the West were born, and everyone was choked and ran away.
Gao Fangping ran the fastest, ran out of the large workshop to take a few breaths of air, and then saw that the entire large workshop was "smoking from seven holes".
Whoa whoa
After the powerful horn roared, amid the rumbling sound, the silly and thick locomotive really drove out of the workshop along the railway tracks with three carriages.
Niu Gao stood alone on the locomotive with a dark and unrestrained look, and he looked very excited.
An engineer stretched out his head from the simple train machine room and cursed Niu Gao: Your saliva will corrode this big guy, so you are not allowed to drool any more.
Finally, the train left Jingxian and followed the Beijing Railway. Gao Fangping wanted to get on the bus, but was dragged away by a group of people. He said it was unsafe and could not get on the bus for the time being. After the test run was completed, the engine could be confirmed to be stable.
So Gao Fangping, who never ran, also performed a marathon-like running this time, chasing the train far behind.
The entire Beijing-round railway was martial law by the imperial guards. It was a bit exaggerated to say that one guard at ten steps, but every five hundred steps, there were two imperial guards standing guard to protect the railway that was about to cut the ribbon for the emperor.
These big-headed soldiers were also shocked. Looking at the stupid and thick big stupid bear, they ran slowly, but they looked muscular and strong, and they also felt that they were not clear about it.
Yes, the current 2.1 turbine is very frustrated, Tao Zhiming and others are not wrong. The thrust-to-weight ratio is still too low, and the thermal efficiency is still very digging. Therefore, the speed of trains is very slow, and running can catch up.
With such a low thrust-weight ratio, the unit's self-weight greatly squeezes the load of the train.
After running for a while, if you can see that the maximum speed of this train will be thirteen knots.
However, it is now empty, so there are certain challenges to achieve the first phase of a special train, three cars and 30 tons of load required by Gao Fangping.
For this reason, the Jiangnan Engineering Academy specially designed a new transmission system, but it is also stupid and thick, which further loses efficiency behind the original transmission. However, the advantage is that the leverage principle can be used to sacrifice speed in exchange for load.
After the new adjustment of the Institute of Engineering, the fixed power can be temporarily maintained for a long time. However, the shortcoming is the gearbox. The current process technology, even if it relies on new materials, the gearbox is designed very grassroots and not durable, and will be scrapped soon.
Without a transmission, direct output will retain some power without loss, improve thermal efficiency in the environment, and reduce the weight. Because of the simplicity of the structure, it can reduce mechanical failures and extend the service life. However, the fatal thing is that it cannot meet the load requirement of 30 tons of square square meters, which cannot be achieved at all.
In other words, this is a targeted face-saving project for the emperor to show. In fact, the 30-ton transportation model cannot be commercially used now and is not mature.
The transmission is now specially made, and it was forged by Han Yihui and countless elite craftsmen, who tried every means and spent a lot of resources. The only task was: to fool the emperor.
However, this "hard work on the people and money" is worth it. The beginning of any career is like this, from scratch, burning money, and striving for difficulties. Now the emperor needs to be fooled so that the soil for the theorem science school can be laid in one fell swoop, and then it will spread and reproduce like a virus. Damn it's not only Taoist priests who can play this game, Gao Fangping can play better than them.
In the future, with the advancement of various technologies and technologies, the design principles will gradually be reasonable and materials science will rise. Thirty tons will be the beginning. A special train weighing 2,000 tons will eventually connect the earth between the east, west, south and north at a speed of 35 knots. That is the real imperial chariot.
It was another night, and the lights in Beijing were brightly lit.
Countless black participants arranged neatly and said in unison: "The special train test has been accepted, please give us instructions."
Gao Fangping stood on the dead train locomotive and said, "Thank you all, thank you for your hard work, and thank you for your hard work for everyone."
"Serve the rise of the empire!" The foolish and straightforward approach was actually very neat, whether it was the Science Party or the Sergeant of the Academy of Engineering.
Gao Fangping was speechless. Li Gang was really awesome. He had trained them like this in the past two years as a judge in Jiangzhou.
Yes, this must be Xiao Li Gang. Shi Jingjie's kid's style is different. If he just wants to train people like this.
Suddenly, Zhang Shuye walked into the big workshop with a very pretentious attitude. He carried his hands on his back, raised his head, and wore sunglasses.
Yes, Jiangzhou has developed and produced sunglasses, which are considered niche luxury goods and are of little use. However, this time the team brought some and gave them to the royal family and several powerful ministers. Old Zhang also had one. So he wore it stupidly. It was clearly at night, so he wore it, and refused to take it down.
As a result, he was tripped and almost lost. Gao Fangping went over to pick it up, "My husband is not used like this. I will help you collect it."
"You don't understand, this is a new thing. I'm testing its magic. You are frivolous, don't break it." Zhang Shuye opened Gao Fangping's hand and did not allow anyone to touch his sunglasses.
The others greeted Lao Zhang one after another.
The light here is not bright at first. At night, people are clearly standing in the east. Old Zhang Abing's look waved to the west and said, "You guys are busy, don't worry about me, I can't sleep. When I heard the rumbling and bustle here, come and take a look and investigate the troubles about the people in Beijing."
"..." The subordinates who were standing in the east waiting for praise all became embarrassed.
Finally, Liang Hongying accompanied him and helped Lao Zhang walk around, pointing and introducing him.
Although I haven't seen the load of this thing with my own eyes, I only heard about the weight of this thing called a train, and I have already tested it for three times today and there has been no trouble. Lao Zhang already knew that a lot of gambling plates will be looted this time.
Speaking of this issue, Lao Zhang really doesn't believe that dozens of tons of things can run on such two thin rails without falling into the mud. When Lao Zhang was on a ox cart to inspect the surrounding county towns, he often encountered problems of being trapped in the mud.
Thinking, Zhang Shuye pointed to Niu Gao in front of him and said, "Xiao Gao, two days later, I and the court officials opened their eyes widened. Anyway, you bought these land from Kaifeng Prefecture, and these materials were also the money you paid for. If something happened, you would lose the loss, and you would lose face. If it succeeds, we are discussing how to divide the benefits. Don't be dissatisfied. Although the materials and land are yours, the workers are my soldiers. You can't afford to lose this point, at least it is the court's participation in the investment and construction."
Sister Liang had a headache and whispered: "My husband, this guy in front is Niu Gao."
"I know he is Niu Gao." Old Zhang turned his head around wearing sunglasses, "Where are Xiao Gao, where have you been hiding?"
Gao Fangping walked upstairs and said, "Now, wait for the win, wait for popularity. It is easy to talk about popularity, because no matter how you talk, there will be benefits."
"That's all." Lao Zhang planned to leave.
Gao Fangping said awkwardly: "Why take off the sunglasses first and then wear them when you go back?"
Chapter completed!
