Beasts Are Boundless

It was already dusk, and the sky was gradually darkening. Ye Qiong rode on Duan's back and galloped along the Dinglong Mountains all the way to the south.

On the way, I met a lot of high-level monsters, but Ye Qiong didn't have time to hunt them at the moment. There are other things to do when I go back. If these monsters don't run away sooner or later, they will be killed by the army and Dakui Killed, and then brought back to the tribe to become the ration of the tribe.

When it was almost completely dark, Ye Qiong arrived at the coal mine base.

Without stopping, directly from the coal mine base, along the dirt road that has been pressed out, and continue to drive towards the tribe, on the dirt road, Duan's speed has also accelerated a lot.

On the east side of the city wall, the sentry in charge of the night watch saw a dark shadow running towards this side from afar. Although he did not see what it was, the soldiers here would not sound the siren for a monster. .

Moreover, in this case, the warriors could actually guess that 80% of the time the young patriarch came back on the sub-adult long-tailed bear from the tribe.

What's more, if it's a single beast, even if it's a monarch beast rushing directly over, in the case of one, with the defensive power of the eastern city wall, there's no need to be afraid. With the stone city wall of the giant crossbow, the defense The force is very powerful.

The rushing giant beasts, after getting closer, the warriors can see that they are dumbfounded just from the outlines and movements. Several large beasts in the tribe will run out to hunt by themselves, so they are very concerned about their physical shape. The movement, the sentries standing guard here, are very familiar.

The soldiers continued to be vigilant, and did not intend to open the city gate.

because there is no need to...

Every time they came back, they jumped in directly. Only when the prey they dragged was too heavy, they would come to the city gate first and let the soldiers help to pull the prey in.

Ordinary low-level magical beasts, in their mouths, are like cubs, and they jump over with them.

"Deng deng deng deng ah... deng deng deng deng ah..."

Duan's speed was very fast. When he arrived at the tribe, he didn't have any intention of slowing down. He jumped up and jumped directly from the seven-meter-high city wall.

After landing, it continued to run towards the central tribe.

It is late at night, but the soldiers who have reversed their schedules are busy building. The clear night sky is full of stars, shining on the land of snow stars, and the visibility is not bad.

Without modern light sources, the soldiers could only rely on starlight to work at night, and if it rained, they were forced to stop work.

After returning to the residence, Ye Qiong let Dawk move freely, and then he began to take a good rest.

The tribe continued to develop at the speed planned by Ye Qiong.

A week later, Ye Qiong, who was studying the steam engine in the laboratory, heard the horn of the return of the caravan, so he called the Mustang King and ran towards the stone city wall on the west side.

The caravan traveled for a month and a half this time. This time, the luck was good. It did not encounter a powerful monster attack, and there was no madman harassment. The caravan came back intact, the only bad news...

On the way back, the caravan encountered a storm and lost several horses. When the soldiers found it, only bones and scum were left.

After the horses suddenly stopped, the return journey was slightly delayed.

After Ye Qiong listened to Yang Jianxin and Tang Li's report, he first arranged for the caravan to return to the central tribe to rest.

It's still the old rule, Ye Qiong waved his hand and pulled a carriage of tattered iron and copper, and directly pulled the soldiers to the door of his laboratory.

This time, the raw materials for the steam engine were basically ready, and Ye Qiong and Tang Ying started working immediately.

After melting a pile of broken copper and iron, Ye Qiong poured it into the mold that had already been made, and started pouring the last few parts of the steam engine. After the poured parts were completely cooled the next day, Ye Qiong gathered all the parts together and placed them on the base.

Next...

It was assembled, Ye Qiong was very excited and assembled the parts one by one.

Base, bearing, cylinder, flywheel, crank, connecting rod, piston, spool valve...

After the assembly was completed, an epoch-making iron lump appeared in front of Ye Qiong and Tang Ying.

Although Tang Ying was only playing for Ye Qiong, she could not really appreciate what the steam engine meant to Xue Xing.

But being able to build this thing together with Ye Qiong, Tang Ying felt a great sense of accomplishment.

especially……

After being instilled with so many modern ideas by Ye Qiong.

The current steam engine is the one with the simplest principle. As long as it is done well, there will be basically no problems. It belongs to the first-generation machine that converts thermal energy into kinetic energy.

So Ye Qiong gave this steam engine the number of the first generation steam engine 001.

After assembling, Ye Qiong took a large bucket of water and poured it into the water tank. Then, from the laboratory behind, he took out half of the coal that was still burning in the boiler, and put it in the tank. into the boiler above the base.

Soon, the water in the water tank was heated to a state where water vapor began to be generated and rose up into the cylinder. As the pressure in the cylinder increased, it began to press against the top piston. It started to rise slowly.

After reaching the critical point, the steam turns into exhaust gas and is released to the outside world, and the pressure in the cylinder drops rapidly, and the piston begins to drop under the action of gravity...

Week after week, as long as the most.

"Boom... dong dong... dong dong dong..."

The steam engine began to shake. At the same time, the crank was driven by the connecting rod above the piston and began to rotate. After the transmission of the bearing, the flywheel began to rotate.

Some of the surrounding clansmen were attracted by the strange sound here.

I saw at the entrance of Ye Qiong's laboratory, about twenty meters above the flat ground, there was a big iron guy, making that kind of weird humming sound, and a round wheel, spinning rapidly. ...

They couldn't understand what it meant to the tribe, or even to Xue Xing, after the wheel was spinning.

Everyone is curious in their hearts, what is the purpose of such a seemingly useless iron lump that the young patriarch researched.

seems quite excited...

The young patriarch picked up the beautiful woman from the caravan next to him and started a circle.

Ye Qiong was very excited at this moment.

The rapidly spinning wheel is the source of power, which can transform into countless derivative energy and technologies.

After placing Tang Ying on the ground, Ye Qiong pulled out the coal from the small boiler on the base.

As the temperature decreased, the piston slowly stopped, and the flywheel at the edge also stopped.
