MTL - Lord of the People: I Rely on Cheating To Fight For Hegemony-Chapter 1254 Locomotive Brake Improvement
At 3:30 p.m. on December 21, the seventh year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Su Yancai returned from Yancheng Port on the main mainland of the East Continent to the civilian wharf outside Yidao Fisherman Village, the sacred place of Yigong Territory.
However, before four o'clock in the afternoon, Qu Mao and Su Yan returned to the civilian pier outside the fisherman's village again, boarded a navy medium-sized warship with Xinping, and sailed directly to the outlying island Fucun Shipyard, because Qu Mao and Su Yan Back at the lord's hut, before even taking a shower, he learned that a major accident had occurred in the Fukumura shipyard section of the outlying island during the opening test of the steam train locomotive.
On the deck of the medium-sized warship, Qu Mao quickly exchanged ideas with Xinping, discussing the disposal methods after arriving at the accident scene.
Although the speed of the medium-sized warship is not fast, Yidao Fisherman's Village is very close to Fukumura on the outlying island. Soon the medium-sized warship docked at a dock at the Fukumura shipyard on the outlying island. Much more than the time spent sailing on the sea.
Stepping on the destroyed dock of Fucun Shipyard, Qu Mao couldn't help but feel shocking. No wonder 19 people working on the dock were injured by an out-of-control steam locomotive. Two deep marks were carved out with a distance of 1 meter. Qu Mao put his hand into the marks, which was half a meter deep.
These two traces show that even though the wheels of the steam locomotive are still turning, the dock is too heavy for the weight of the locomotive. In the follow-up accident handling process, the dock may take a lot of time and effort to restore.
However, Qu Mao's brows were quickly frowned, and he pulled someone casually and asked, "Whose idea was it? I remember that in the plan of the Shuifu Railway, the end of the Fucun Shipyard is at least 150 meters away from the coast." Meters, who added 130 meters now? The end of the railway is only 20 meters away from the sea, and there is no safety awareness at all.”
The person held by Qu Mao was frightened when he saw Qu Mao’s aggressive questioning, and hurriedly saluted and said, “My lord, before the opening test, Researcher Bi Sheng said that the steam engine was tailored for the ironclad ship, but the steam engine The weight of the engine is very heavy, so in order to allow the steam engine manufactured by the Outlying Island Power Research Institute to be directly transported to the vicinity of the ironclad ship, the construction team of the Shuifu Railway repaired the railway to the side of the dock after communicating with various needs.
The steam engine is too heavy, relying on manpower, let alone 100 meters, even if it is 10 meters, it is very difficult to move..."
Kong Ming, who got the news of Qu Mao and Su Yan's coming, has already rushed over. Kong Ming didn't bring the goose feather fan that he usually keeps in his hand this time.
When he came to Qu Mao, Kong Ming's face was extremely ugly, he hurriedly bowed his hands to Qu Mao as a salute, and said, "My lord, are you here?"
Qu Mao patted Kong Ming on the shoulder and comforted him: "Kong Ming, no one wants to see such an accident happen, but this accident must not chill the hearts of scientific researchers.
Have the two researchers who rushed into the sea with the locomotive found it? "
Kong Ming shook his head in pain, and said: "My lord, it has been confirmed that the scientific researcher who fired the boiler drowned, and the other scientific researcher who manipulated the steam engine has not yet been salvaged. I am afraid it is more or less ominous."
Su Yan glanced at Kong Ming, and said: "My lord, you communicate with Kong Ming, and your subordinates go to appease the staff of the Fucun Shipyard and the families of the two researchers from the Outlying Island Power Research Institute who came after hearing the news."
Qu Mao waved his hand, nodded, and said to Xinping: "Xinping, go check the rails and collect other information, especially the traces left by the derailed steam locomotive."
Xin Ping bowed his hands and followed Su Yan to the direction where the crowd gathered without saying a word.
Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng have also rushed to the scene. Seeing Qu Mao and Kong Ming gathered together, they cowered and hid behind like frightened quails.
Qu Mao let out a long sigh, waved to Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng, and called them to his side, suppressing the anger in his heart. When Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng came to his side, Qu Mao turned around and said to Kong Ming: "Kong Ming, the two researchers of the Outlying Island Power Research Institute, if they both suffer accidents, they will all be treated as martyrs.
No amount of compensation can be overstated for the consolation of the family members.
For the injured at the Fukumura Shipyard, organize the best medical resources for treatment. Whether it is disabled or recovered, our Lord's Lodge will be responsible to the end..."
Kong Ming said: "Yes, my lord, this is necessary!
Whether it is the injured or the sacrificed, they are appeased according to the highest standards of the Yi Gong territory. "
Qu Mao patted Bi Sheng on the shoulder, then Yan Qisheng on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be depressed, you two, you can derail the steam train and slide over a 20-meter trackless section, which shows the power and speed of the steam train locomotive. It has already been brought up, which is very commendable.
After all, it hasn’t even been two months since we held the steam engine prototype improvement technology seminar. You have made such a huge breakthrough, which shows that you have worked hard.
To do scientific research, we must be ahead of the times, and this situation is inevitable. "
Bi Sheng hurriedly said: "My lord, the steam train locomotive that was opened to traffic test took a total of five hours from the outlying island power research institute to the Fukumura shipyard.
The student thought about it later, if he ignites the fire in advance and boils the water in the boiler in advance, it can save at least two hours of time.
It’s just that we didn’t consider stopping. In fact, when we were 5 kilometers away from the Fucun Shipyard, XCMG had already used the magic communication crystal to tell us that they had closed the coal-filling door of the boiler with an iron plate. It is said that the steam power will gradually decrease. right…"
Yan Qisheng also said: "Perhaps we have to add an artificial braking device..."
Qu Mao pulled Kong Ming, Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng aside, found a coffee table, took out a pen and paper, and said while drawing a picture: "Yes, we must design braking measures for steam locomotives, and the subsequent carriages must also be designed in the same way. …
I don't know how to brake, but it is nothing more than cutting off the connection between the power gear and the steam piston, and artificially interfering with the rotation of the wheel...
This is what I can think of, you can think about it.
Find a way to add a clutch device between the piston gear and the power gear of the locomotive. If there is no power when you are separated, you will have power when you are combined; the iron plates for braking are installed on the wheels to restrict the wheels from continuing to rotate... Even on rails, the resistance to sliding is huge. The resistance to turning the wheel..."
As soon as the four discussed technical issues, they immediately came out of the grief of the steam train test accident and began to seriously discuss the improvement of steam train braking technology.
