Within a few days, merchants from Chang'an and Luoyang were transporting goods to Cangzhou.
Because the news that Cangzhou wants to build more warehouses has been made public, the businessmen see the business opportunities of the dock warehouse, so they are not willing to miss it, taking advantage of the fact that Cangzhou is developing now, they all go to Cangzhou to invest, lease or buy mansions can be used to stock goods, and keeping a wharf is equivalent to keeping wealth.
In the next few days, the Ministry of Economic Development announced the matter of shipping taxes and fees, but the implementation date was written that the new terminal was officially implemented after the preparation was completed, and the maintenance of the Cangzhou was completed, and the goods were transported in several coastal states near Cangzhou.
Satisfaction is a brand-new ship, if you want to sail, you need to find a good crew first, this part of the Cangzhou shipyard will not be responsible, you need to build materials chamber of commerce to deal with it.
The notice is still used to run the horse on the 500-mile expedited official road, and it takes a few days to get to Cangzhou, and the time in Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Fuzhou is even longer, and it will take a month to go back and forth.
So Yuan Shan decided to speed up the application of steam power, and the customized boiler sent by Song Kangde to the Yuan family just met the conditions.
Yang Wu in the Yuan Family Workshop finally came into play.
"Master Hou, this is a wooden tricycle frame created by the workshop according to your drawings."
Yang Wudao.
Yuan Shan looked carefully, it was almost a flat plate, and then the three wheels formed a triangle, the wooden wheel was very large, the diameter was about one meter, the chassis was very high, and the wheels were very wide, at least about twenty centimeters, inside the wooden wheels were thick iron, and there were bearings in the wheels.
One side of the wheel is ready to hang a small steam boiler, and the cylinder acts directly on the wheel to play the role of traction.
"Master Hou, can this car really work?"
Yang Wudao.
He has no confidence at all, usually the Yuan family's steam cars are four-wheeled vehicles made of iron, and now he has no bottom in his heart when they are changed to wooden three-wheelers.
"Can you do it, remove it, and install the little steam engine."
Yuan Shandao.
Yang Wu motioned for the workers to start working, Yang Wu was also strange because the steam engine this time was very strange, and the boiler felt like a cauldron, but it could not be that the pot was deeper and the lid was higher.
The vertical price of the cylinder is indeed small, and the shape is very strange compared with the previous steam engine.
Half an hour later, the vehicle was assembled, and Yuan Shan said: "It looks good, go to the boiler to add coal and light it." ” Yang Wu immediately did so, looking at the coal bunker under the boiler that looked like a cauldron, and the lid on the top was used to store water.
The most special thing about this custom boiler is that it uses two exhaust cylinders, which act on the single wheel at the same time.
The combustion temperature of the coal came up very quickly, and soon there was water vapor in the boiler.
Yuan Shan personally sat on the control lever to close the valve, and the cylinder began to expand and contract slowly.
"It's moving, Master Hou should be careful."
Yang Wu shouted.
Immediately there was a display on the pressure gauge that the speed began to rise to five, and the slow movement began, and as the value of the pressure gauge began to rise gradually as the coal burned, the speed of the tricycle also increased.
"Haha, it was successful, it seems that you will be able to use this to transport goods for short distances in the future."
Yuan Shan said excitedly.
He could feel that although the speed was very slow, the steam-driven cylinder was very strong, and the tricycle turned more easily after turning.
In the Yuanjia workshop, I turned around in the rear three wheels, and the stability is very good, but the body is relatively long, and there is more steam, which affects the driver's sight, and there is one of the biggest drawbacks is that the driving speed is relatively slow.
There are also many advantages, such as the ease of maintenance and the low cost of the wooden body.
"Yang Wu, I'll hand it over to you next, and try how the load of this steam freight is."
Yuan Shandao.
Yang Wu was no stranger to steam cars, and he always felt a little anxious in his heart when operating this slower steam car, but the load was comparable to that of a horse-drawn carriage.
This is the most popular steam car shot by Yuan Shangen, but the car at that time was used to push the wheels to move, but this car is directly used as a flywheel, which is completely integrated, similar to the wheel of the train, so that the tricycle can be more powerful.
Although the boiler is small, it is also thickened by encryption to release more steam, and a blower cylinder is added to it, which can speed up the combustion rate of coal, which means that a large amount of heat energy can be released quickly.
When looking at the cost of construction, the cost is basically a large investment in boilers and cylinders, while the tricycle frame is not worth much money, and the production speed is faster.
After testing, Yang Wu got the final data, the load capacity is comparable to the idea, and there is no problem with pulling a thousand catties.
A few days later, the number of horse-drawn carriages in the centralized warehouses began to decrease, because a lot of steam tricycles were added.
The appearance of the steam wooden tricycle attracted many onlookers, but people could only watch from a distance, and the point of the warehouse was that it would not be easy for people to approach without transportation.
Bursts of steam filled the warehouse, and Yuan Shan was helpless when he saw it, and now he could only develop to this extent, and if he wanted to go further, he could only add cylinders or develop internal combustion engines.
In fact, the conditions for the internal combustion engine are already in place, using oil to extract gasoline and then replacing coal to burn to produce water vapor internally, but this is only a preliminary thermal substitution.
It is very difficult to invent a real internal combustion engine, otherwise there has been no progress for decades, and the engine is not someone else's.
Yang Wu and other craftsmen were very fast, and in a few days, they put together thirty steam tricycles, and in order to avoid the steam in the centralized warehouse being too dense, ten steam cars became scooters, although they were slow, but they saved effort compared to walking.
Unfortunately, few people want to ride, because the speed is too slow to walk, and it will be bumpy to sit on a tricycle.
Through the success of the small steam engine, Yuan Shan felt that the boiler could be reduced several times and then used on bicycles, such as four-wheeled bicycles, which could be faster due to the speed of the body.

When he came out of the Yuanjia Workshop, Yuan Shan's body was a little damp with steam, although the steam power was very labor-saving and far from the extreme, so Yuan Shan thought of Li Chunfeng, this guy is very obsessed with Gewu, and it is really a waste for him to use it to build a physical astronomical telescope, so it is better to let him participate in the research of steam power, maybe there will be a major breakthrough.
In the past few days, Yuan Shan has lived in the Yuan family manor to study steam power, and the complexity of the cylinder can often be blinded, so he can only wait for the craftsmen to make further breakthroughs.
The advantage is that the boiler is placed outside the processing room to avoid the pollution of coal soot, and it is all about changing the soup but not the medicine, but it finally works.
There is still no progress in the application of steam power, and he found that maybe the development of the steam age is over here, and he suddenly thought of Li Chunfeng, who was obsessed with Gewuxue, and wanted him to come and try it.
Li Chunfeng was preparing for class now, and he didn't know that Yuan Shan, who was in the Yuan family manor, was beating his idea.
