The chapters that are updated in the middle of the night are usually anti-daoban chapters. I have tried to choose when it is late at night, and there are few people watching them at this time. Generally, anti-daoban chapters will be modified to the correct content at least half an hour.

It's okay to read on the computer, and it's okay to automatically subscribe with the mobile app. As long as I haven't clicked on the chapter before I modified it. Once I clicked on it, the wrong chapter content will be downloaded and entered into the mobile phone cache. At this time, even if I modify the mobile client, it is still the wrong content and will never change.

At this time, you can only download this chapter again. If it doesn’t work, you can only delete the book and remove it, and then add it again and put it on the shelves.

There are few people reading niche books, and daoban is rampant. There is no way, I can't make it if I don't do this, I'm sorry.

The British expressions were not very happy now! To be precise, everyone in a house in a parish in St. Giles Parish in the West End of London was very unhappy! Because their efforts failed again.

"Robert, what caused the failure this time?" Morris Thompson, who arrived in a messy house, asked helplessly.

"I'm sorry, sir, I lost you five hundred pounds, but we are still far from success." The middle-aged man, known as "Robert", wiped his black hands with a towel and smiled apologetically: "But we are not without progress. Now we have clearly known that the reason why the steam engine is inefficient is mainly due to two reasons: one is that the steam in the cylinder cools too fast, and the other is that the seal is not in place, and most of the steam is leaked. Just like the experience I have summarized, if it is an ideal closed container, the pressure of the gas in it is related to temperature and volume. It is roughly the higher the temperature, the greater the pressure, the smaller the volume, and the greater the pressure. This has been proven by many tests..."

"A very good theory, did you summarize it, Robert?" Mr. Thompson asked casually over the mess of metal tools and scrap on the ground, looking at an "unusually ugly" steam engine in the yard.

Speaking of which, since the Almeida family sold research materials on steam engines in Lisbon, Mr. Thompson, who has been paying great attention to this matter, has also spent a lot of money to get a copy from the British merchants he purchased, and then recruited people around to study it. He is not a businessman who has not seen the world, but he knows very well how huge the East Coast people have gained using this magical machine, and he also needs this kind of benefit.

This time, he recruited many scholars from London and Oxford through various relationships, and also recruited many skilled blacksmiths in Birmingham to try to build a suitable steam engine through their intelligence. Unfortunately, after spending more than 2,000 pounds in front and back, they still failed. The main problem was the problem of insufficient cylinder pressure, and insufficient pressure could eventually be attributed to factors such as cylinder sealing and gas temperature - this involves many factors including design, materials and processing, which are not something they can overcome in the short term.

"Yes, Mr. Thompson, it was summarized by me." Robert smiled shyly, and then said: "The steam engines of the East Coast people are really an epoch-making and great invention, really. For this extremely wide-ranging machine, Mr. Thompson, I personally think that it is worth getting no matter how much it costs. Over the years, we have obtained a lot of information about the steam engine intermittently, and even some scrap parts of the steam engine have gradually spread to the old continent, but we still do this.

It is a pity to not get a complete physical steam engine - of course, including the specific design of a practical steam engine. But as you know, we are generally behind in this regard. Perhaps it is not enough to have a steam engine alone. We also have to get the best cylinder sealing method from the East Coast people - I heard that they initially used a metal swelling and graphite ring to seal - and the best cylinder processing machinery, which is particularly important because it directly determines the efficiency of the steam engine."

"Yes, you're right. Even if we understand the entire mystery of the East Coast people in steam engines, we may not be able to imitate it. Or even if it is imitated, the cost is unacceptable, because their technology is a complete set, representing their overall industrial level, just like these high-priced knife heads that we smuggled back through hardships." Mr Thompson bent over and picked up several high-carbon steel knife heads smuggled from the East Coast, and frowned. "These cut heads illustrate the problem in some ways. Without these high-priced cut heads worth 100-200 pounds, our processing machinery can't even accurately process the cylinders. Every time we think of this, it's frustrating. England's backwardness is really all-round and we have to improve it."

Robert nodded and added: "According to the Dutch, the East Coast people were processing the barrels with something they called boring machines, and they had bought some outdated hydraulic or foot-pedal boring machines - of course, the accuracy and stability are not high, and it is very troublesome to repair after damage, and they also have to buy high-priced East Coast goods - Since the barrel is processed with boring machines, the gun barrels are of course also possible, and the difference between the cylinders and barrels is not large, so we only need to scale the boring machine proportionally. But the problem now is that we cannot make such boring machines, there are too many materials, design and process problems, especially this large cutting head, which is only available in some steam engine factories and military factories on the East Coast, and it is too difficult to obtain."

Thompson was speechless when he heard this. It seemed that the act of trying to imitate the steam engine was really ill-fate. Perhaps he should contact more aspiring people, raise more funds and technical forces, and work together to overcome this problem - of course, this requires slow planning. After all, now that the industry and commerce in England are developing rapidly, there are more and more East Coast-style handmade workshops that are centrally produced at designated locations. The "farmhouse economy" in the past has begun to accelerate in the land enclosure movement (meaning that there are more and more landless farmers), there is no advantage because the labor force of industrial capitalists is becoming more and more abundant. With more centralized production-style handmade workshops, there will naturally be demand for more advanced machines, because this will effectively reduce their costs. Mr. Thompson decided to seek help from his colleagues in the House of Commons (more than two-thirds of them are industrial basics, and the rest are commercial capitalists) to seek help from financial and technical talents, which is exactly the right way.

After leaving the factory he set up secretly, Mr. Maurice Thompson got into a carriage and, under the escort of his servant Harrison, pilgrimage to Vidastre Diocese along the gravel-paved avenue. There are many shops on both sides of the road that have been opened in recent years - most of them are the offline of some emerging wholesalers - mainly engaged in Indian perfumes, gems, refined cotton, silk fabrics, and tea and porcelain from the East. In addition, some shops are getting bigger and bigger by importing East Coast goods or American specialties. For example, a North American businessman named George Hampton made his fortune by reselling East Coast soda ash. Now a large storefront has been built on this street, which is very eye-catching.

It is worth mentioning that the materials and styles of these buildings built in recent years are very different from traditional English wooden structures. In addition to using traditional wood, they also imported various building materials such as cement and asphalt from overseas, which greatly improved the fire and waterproof performance of the buildings, just like brick and tile buildings everywhere on the east coast.

Mr. Thompson agrees deeply about this and has ordered his new or renovated buildings to use new materials as much as possible. This actually doesn't cost much, and he also invested in a building materials factory in the suburbs, which is not much more expensive than wood (who has made England import wood from abroad in recent years). Especially after a fire broke out in a residential house in St. Porterfe's Parish a while ago, causing serious damage to the entire street buildings, Mr. Thompson became more determined.

The idea - wooden buildings are too easy to be damaged, and the planning of London neighborhoods is too messy. If you are not lucky, theoretically, a small fire can burn half of the London neighborhood, which will be a lot of losses. Fortunately, the top government officials have also realized this problem. Recently, some officials have begun to take people to patrol the entire London and evaluate the safety and fire protection status of various buildings. They hope that residents can spend funds to renovate their own houses, but it seems difficult.

The Parish of St. Vidast arrived soon. As soon as he entered the parish entrance, Mr. Thompson smelled a strong smell of smoke and the sound of metal knocking. This is the metal processing area in London. Although Mr. Thompson started out with overseas trade (imported Virginia tobacco leaves), he has now begun to invest in industries, such as building materials workshops outside London, and a machining workshop in St. Vidast.

Well, to be precise, it is a factory specially designed for processing machinery and parts in the woolen textile industry. The original owner of this factory owed Mr. Thompson a lot of money due to the failure of business. In the end, he had no choice but to sell the blacksmith shop. Even he himself became Thompson's employer. After Mr. Thompson took over the blacksmith shop, he invested more than 3,000 pounds of funds to expand, transform and update it. Now the company not only has forty or fifty craftsmen and apprentices, but also many mechanical processing equipment are the latest East Coast goods, which is different from the past...

"Sir, you are here." Walker, the former owner of the blacksmith shop and the current craftsman, bowed, "The factory is operating normally. Recently, we have received many orders from the north, mostly parts of spinning machinery, and the business is very good. It seems that it is God's will to hand over the shop to you, because she has achieved such great development only under your management."

After getting off the carriage, Mr. Morris Thompson first glanced at Walker, then looked at the craftsmen and apprentices in the workshop who were either using files or using simple machining parts, and said, "For God's blessing, our country's exports of woolen velvet have increased significantly, and we have seized a lot of markets. I hope this good luck can be maintained, because it is the key to the prosperity of our workshop. Okay, you continue to work, I'll look around..."
