Constrained by the fact that the winter is over, the new factory can only be put on hold until next year to build again, so that now the pace of progress of Wuda has to stop.

His own industry is already slightly higher than other industries, and if he is allowed to open restaurants, entertainment projects, health care and other places in Tokyo, he will not do it, and the industry that can be copied in this era is indeed very profitable, but it is difficult to make much breakthrough.

It is nothing more than that the industry gathers too much, and frequently opening the same store can only let the cake of the same industry be snatched away by one person and squeeze out others. When the involution is serious, everyone is fighting a price war, and no one can make money. I am afraid that the Great Song will enter the Great Depression early. Whether it is Wu Da or Zhao He, this is an undesirable result.

Although Zhao He did not have financial support, Wu Da knew that this kind of thing could only be done by himself. In a few hundred years, when the West makes steam engines and internal combustion engines, it will inevitably rob a lot of wealth. So much so that for many years, he will drink soup after others.

......

Wu Da was at home, repeatedly looking at his system mall, yes, yes, other people's eyes are all adult products, he sees that it is indeed the materials available inside.

At the very least, the rubber in the precision structure will not be lacking, presumably, these silicone always have varieties that are not afraid of heat. The primary production of pistons is not so precise, can it be replaced by adult products with similar shapes?

However, he already has the tools for casting iron, and the technology of smelting metal in the Great Song is not backward, and the rich coal resources have made iron products very popular.

At least, farming is convenient, and all kinds of agricultural tools are already comprehensive. The only defect is that there is no agricultural machinery, and the power depends on ploughing cattle, so the guys who plow the land are not large and have a small area, after all, the strength of the cattle needs to be considered, so as not to plow half an acre and kill a cow.

Moreover, cattle are quite expensive, and ordinary families are even reluctant to rent cattle in order to earn some money. Manpower alone is indeed a bit too hard.

Wu Da stripped the filling of a cup, used it as a model, and cast several piston cylinders. The production of primary steam engines is still more labor-saving to get a single cylinder. After all, everything has to be done step by step. Later generations of agricultural machinery still have many single-cylinder ones.

Moreover, no one has yet extracted oil today, and even if minerals are found, it is difficult to refine.

But the coal mine resources are not bad, it should not be difficult to get a steam engine and drive a train. At least the problem of fuel and water tanks can be solved very quickly.

The part of the cylinder is the essence of the engine, and the cylinder block is repeatedly refined by Wuda, and the strength has reached the standard. Otherwise, the cylinder will burst after not using it a few times, and the gain is not worth the loss.

This has to be done step by step.

Hu Sanniang found him some craftsmen and blacksmiths from the city. Help him develop new products. Wu Da just had to make a look, the worker, repeatedly according to his way, refining the cylinder block and pistons over and over again.

The wisdom of the working people was infinite, and soon a working cylinder block and piston were made. It's simple and simple, it just takes an opportunity. It is nothing more than punching holes in the abrasive, casting them again, and repeatedly grinding after the file, so that the precision of the machine is higher.

As for the gasket, the silicone is still too weak, and it is crushed after several times. However, the paper of the Song Dynasty was already good, and the hard paper shell was used as a gasket to replace the defect of no rubber products.

In terms of brackets, they are first supported by wood, and when the model is almost run-in, they are replaced by casting iron products of the same size.

Silicone is not useless, and the tube used for connecting it is used. The lubricating oil in the mall is too expensive, after all, this amount is large, but it is not a problem, and it is not a problem to temporarily replace it with vegetable oil and lard.

The production of the flow box has also gradually made progress, the main function is to use the repeated expansion and contraction of the piston, drive the push plate, and then change the path of air flow in the flow box, and can repeatedly drive the piston to continue the movement.

Benefit from being inspired by living in the countryside as a child and seeing diesel engines. Wuhan University made several large flywheels, and inertia became the best solution for continuing the power.

Immediately afterwards, make a two-tone fork-like linkage. Wu Da also let the carpenter do it, and then used wood again as a mold and cast it to connect the rods.

These things are simple to say, but there are quite a few obstacles to doing them. But it's not a problem.

After more than ten days, the most primitive, smallest steam engine was made.

Everyone watched Wu Da make this little thing and shook their heads one after another. Not to mention the use of ploughing the land instead of ploughing cattle, I am afraid that a small child can fight against the steam engine.

However, Wu Da was indeed extremely excited, and directly took the steam engine into the system space, took it to the palace, and shared it with Zhao Yao.

Everything was difficult at the beginning, and Zhao He did not expect that after less than a month, Wu Da could really make a steam engine. Although it is a primary model, this is indeed an indispensable first step in human progress, with its existence, it will be modified and optimized in the later stage, and I am afraid that it will not take long for the first generation of steam engines to be put into use.

The Industrial Revolution is probably about to begin.

After the first steam engine was completed, Wuhan University immediately took him to the academy and let many students study it. After all, these people have received basic mathematical and physical studies in later generations, and it is easy to understand these things.

I'm afraid it's not too difficult to get them to reform. Wu Da doesn't know, but he waits and sees, these students will definitely be able to win glory for him and help him optimize the steam engine to the extent that it can be used.

As for the improvement of the steam engine, Wuhan University handed it over to these students, but the steam engine was completed, and its application should also be produced.

Agricultural machinery, water conservancy irrigation, vehicle and horse transportation, and even thermal power generation in the later stage are inseparable from this primitive power equipment.

But these are still a long way off, with the guidance of the steam engine, there must be many unexpected equipment in the later stage.

After all, the wisdom of the ancients was not so simple. Wu Da only stood on the shoulders of the giant to see so far.

The wheel of history is always moving forward. The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the back waves can always slap the front waves on the beach.

The wind is already slightly chilly, there is no vegetation in the farmland, the leaves have fallen, and the whole land is welcoming the arrival of winter.

The peasants have already sat down and started doing odd jobs, earning a little bit and preparing for the winter.

The streets of Bianliang are as lively as ever, and the vendors and shops are still lively. From outside the capital, small traders carrying burdens and merchants driving horse-drawn carriages back and forth to transport goods back and forth make this megalopolis seem to have no winter, at least no commercial winter.
