After rearranging things one after another, Gooden decided to put construction and economic circulation on the agenda.

Originally, as the scheduled date for the major project, he planned to wait until after the first transaction with Kanehara City before starting.

But now it seems that it must be started in advance to avoid being delayed by the Charlieson family’s ‘sneak attack’.

After clarifying the mission, Gooden summoned Buck, who was still forging the steam engine template.

Construction work is inseparable from the mining of lime ore, and the processing of lime is also a problem.

Summoning Buck, Gooden threw the question out directly.

"The development plan has changed a bit. Now in addition to forging steam engine components, there is also a new task."

As he spoke, Gooden pushed a brief limestone mining process in front of Buck.

"This machine works together with a steam engine. Its function is to process a large amount of stone into powder."

"There are some development ideas above that you can refer to. The plan is quite urgent. We need to get the test model within a week. If you encounter parts that cannot be forged, you can leave them to me."

Buck quickly read the entire arrangement and nodded.

"No problem. If we go quickly, it should be done in four or five days. I have almost completed the steam engine project. I think you can come to inspect it tomorrow."

"so fast?"

It has only been less than two days since Gudern left the steam engine project to Buck, and it is already about to be completed?

Buck smiled slightly sheepishly.

"Hehe, this is all thanks to the knowledge you gave me. I have almost completed the forging of all the details in one afternoon. Tonight is just some assembly and polishing tasks."

After listening, Gudern nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that the blacksmith master's entry is still very strong. In just one afternoon, he can complete the most difficult part of the steam engine.

Then the two briefly chatted for a few words and then went to do their own work.

When night fell, Gooden first went to see the recruits who had just finished running five kilometers. After a few words of encouragement, he went to the brick kiln to see the first batch of bricks.

When we arrived at the brick kiln factory, the huge furnace had been opened, and the residual heat in the furnace was still raging at the entrance of the cave.

Fortunately, a sliding preset track was reserved during the design. The brick kiln workers only need to use hook locks to pull out the fired brick pallets.

The bricks on a cart were exactly 500 bricks per side. Gudern stepped forward and took out a brick that was still warm.

The red appearance and the thick feeling of the hands are definitely that familiar brick.

If there is no problem with quality, then the work of continuing to train will not stop.

The brick kiln workers around quickly took out all the fired bricks, and then pushed in the prepared bricks.

It only takes less than half an hour to get one set down and restart the kiln.

Seeing the re-fired brick kiln, Gudern also gave up watching the excitement and returned to the castle.

Today's modifications have all been used up. At night, Gooden studied the upgrade process of the 2.0 rifle and then went back to his room to rest.

Early the next morning.

Soon after Gooden got up, he received good news from Buck at the Engineering Institute.

The experimental steam engine has been fully assembled!

After receiving the news, Gooden hurried to check.

At this time, in the warehouse where the steam engine was assembled, Buck and several apprentices were surrounding it for final confirmation inspections.

"Master, please wait a moment, we will check it right away."

Seeing Gooden's arrival, Buck left a hurried message and continued to inspect various parts of the steam engine.

Gudern didn't care about this, and found an empty seat and began to look at the first experimental steam engine in another world.

The structure of this thing cannot be said to be particularly complex. The cylinder, piston, connecting rod crank, flywheel and other components are combined together to achieve sustained power output driven by steam.

To be honest, Gudern didn't know the detailed internal structure, but he could still understand its principles.

After some extrapolation and being built by the experienced Buck, the experimental version of the steam engine would not be skewed no matter how much it deviated.

The inspection work ended quickly, and Buck only had a partial understanding of this thing. How to start it depends on the designer Gooden.

"Get some charcoal and water. If the water is a little cleaner, add it in from here."

As the designer of the theme, Gooden directly began to arrange the starting process of the steam engine.

Soon, the apprentices completed Gudern's instructions, filling the water tank with water, lighting the charcoal, and heating the water.

Under the influence of the fire, the water in the water tank began to gradually boil, and the gas vaporized in a direction leading to the inlet of the air valve.

As the pressure in the closed pipeline gradually increased, Gooden slightly moved the control valve chain, allowing the accumulated high-pressure steam to flow into the piston.

The influx of steam began to slowly push the piston, and as the control valve chain rotated, the piston gas that had not yet fully started to operate was released.

Then came the influx of new and more energetic steam.

After such repeated rotations little by little, in less than thirty seconds, the flywheel that originally took half a day to rotate once could already reach a speed of one or even two revolutions per second driven by the piston.

Chapter 61 The Tax Collector Arrives

"Success!"

After hearing the answer from Gudern's mouth, everyone present undoubtedly cheered loudly.

Although they didn't know the use of these, they were very happy that they could successfully complete the task.

Gooden looked at the steam engine in front of him. It was only one meter long, half a meter high, and less than half a meter wide.

As an initial machine, its mission is to test how much force such a structural scale can drive.

Judging from the current speed, there should be no problem in driving some simple machinery.

"Bring over the prepared testing equipment and test the maximum power of the steam engine."

Since there is no suitable machinery at hand to test, Gudern can only use the simplest way to understand the steam engine.

The test tool is actually a winch plus a stand, and then the rotating port of the winch is combined with the flywheel power.

In this way, the rotation of the flywheel can also drive the winch together, thereby achieving the function of taking up the line.

In the pallet hanging under the shelf, iron ingots will be continuously placed to counterweight it to see how heavy the object can be pulled by the power of the first-generation machine.

The horsepower of the steam engine can also be calculated inversely from the weight of the object. Although it is a bit crude and crude, it is also the best method at present.

As the iron ingots were added up piece by piece, seventy-five pounds of iron were finally added to the pallet, which converted to about thirty-four kilograms.

After reaching this weight, the steam engine was completely unable to pull the winch, and there were faint signs of 'explosion' in the steam operation of the cylinder and piston.

After the extreme test is completed, the next step is to test the normal power operation. The final measurement is about 25 kilograms, and the steam engine can be in a perfect operating condition.

This data is already very surprising to Gooden. You must know that this is only a first-generation test machine, and many additional parts have not been added.

For example, multi-piston cylinders, high-pressure steam chambers and other components, if you can add them all, maybe you can build a steam power station by then?

Thinking of this, Gooden secretly laughed at himself. He had already thought of going so far away before this was put into use.

"There is nothing wrong with the steam engine. Next, I will talk about the arrangements for follow-up research."

As Gudern said, the apprentices around him closed their mouths and waited quietly for the young master's instructions.

"First, research and complete the trial model of the gravel crusher as soon as possible. Second, the stone powder produced by the crushed stone must be like flour."

"In addition, regarding the official model of the steam engine, it will be expanded to twice the size of the initial engine. It will not be too late to start the manufacturing task after the stone crusher is completed."

"Buck, the research and development idea document has been handed over to you, and the next step is up to you."

"Understood, promise to complete the task on time!"

Buck nodded solemnly to express his confidence in completing the task.

The steam engine experiment and task assignment had been completed, and Gudern encouraged everyone before returning to the castle.

It is not impossible for him to do this kind of manufacturing and research and development by himself.

But if this were the case, he would not be able to achieve small-scale mass production and promotion.

Moreover, it is impossible for him to advance and complete various planned developments in the future.

If he can do it all by himself, it doesn't matter if he doesn't wear this alien world. His plan is to teach a group of people and let them help build industrial development.

As for him, he provides planning and guidance for development, and also appreciates the people, local customs and customs of this world.

To put it bluntly, Gudern's plan is to find a group of subordinates who can take on big responsibilities and let them build and develop it, while he himself will enjoy the fishing in the background.

However, in the early stages of starting a business, he still has to arrange some matters by himself.

Back at the castle, all mission arrangements have been issued, and Gudern does not need to do any more work at the moment.

So I continued to go into the laboratory to study the forging of armor. If I got tired, I would go out for a walk and randomly arrange some training for the new recruits.

At the same time, if he encounters a suitable modification target, he will also write it down and wait until the evening to use up the number of times for the day.

July 15, star calendar year 3542, the twentieth day after arriving in another world.

Like the previous days, Gooden had finished his morning work and was about to study the production of the pressure gauge when Irene hurriedly came to report.

"Master, a guest who calls himself the tax collector came to the castle. The old housekeeper happened to be out, so I invited him into the living room without permission. What do you think we will do next?"

"Tax collector?"

The name Gudern is no stranger. In the past, when taxes were collected, a tax collector would come one month in advance.

The advance notice to calculate how much tax should be paid to the empire this year will not come until around the end of July or the beginning of August according to past dates.

This year, it was almost half a month early...

Thinking of this, Gudern frowned slightly. What Old Joseph said turned out to be true. The two empires were really going to war.

"I understand. You go find someone to inform old Joseph and ask him to come back. I will go to the tax collector later."

"Yes, Master."

Gudern arranged the task, and Eileen knew how to receive it.
