Chapter 82 Cannons and the Future
The parts manufacturing work that started was more difficult than Dong Chen imagined. His design drawings were meticulous, scientific and reasonable, and simple and crude, and should be very easy to manufacture.
However, after he visited some factories and blacksmith shops, he had to modify his design drawings several times, and finally changed them to the straightforward alien version of "28 Heavy".
And in this process, he had to do some work because he had to wait for the manufacturer and the blacksmith shop to complete the parts he needed.
Some parts need to be built separately, with steam-driven machine tools in large factories, and blacksmith shops can also use exquisite technology to create small parts. All they can buy is some small human machine tools, so most parts need to be customized to purchase.
And it is not just his need to order parts. The demand for inventions in this world is very strong, but only some powerful scientific researchers have their own invention workshops, which are equipped with all kinds of equipment and many employees.
For these "retail investors", there are special departments in each factory to accept such orders, so they need to queue up.
While waiting, he was sorting out relevant bicycle patents and derivative patents, while thinking about improving some machine tools to make them more suitable for the production of bicycle parts and preparing for future mass production.
Of course, patents for machine tool modification must also be applied for.
The primary books he purchased stated in detail all the scope and steps of the patent application, which can be said to be extremely friendly to newcomers.
Unfortunately, some newcomers are basically unable to use it.
In some of his free time, he also started his literary creation, and agreed to become a science fiction writer and to make some of the technological products written in his books by himself. That must be a work.
Originally, Dong Chen planned to imitate the predecessors of the earth and wrote the first book from the creation of life. As a result, after he read the first article he wrote about "artificial man" to Shia, he was shocked directly and quickly threw the manuscript into the stove and burned it, and warned Dong Chen not to write such things.
Dong Chen was also shocked by Xiya's reaction, but after Xiya's explanation, he understood the reason. It was because he underestimated the influence of the "creation myth" on people's thoughts.
Think about it, those myths on Earth that are completely shadowless can be believed by so many people, let alone the real "creation" facts on the other side star.
The right to create life will always belong to the "God of Technology", and the only ones who actually take action are the "God of Life" who are created, and those who are created do not have that right.
However, there are also those who do not believe in evil, but those people are rejected by the entire human camp, so those people tried every means to go to the Western barbarian camp during the war, and those who did not leave also hid in the dark and conducted their own experiments in the dark.
Once people know that they have the intention to create and transform their lives, they will not only be regarded as shameless thieves who "steal the divine power", but will also be supporters of the Western barbarian camp, enemies of the human camp, and will be burned to death.
There were reasons for this in the deterioration of the relationship between the human camp and the barbarian camp. The barbarians believed that they were taller, bigger, and stronger, and were the favorites of the god of technology, so the God of Life created the barbarians so strongly.
After being expelled, they believed that as long as they became stronger, they would definitely return to the embrace of the God of Technology, so they were very keen on studying life sciences.
But the original life...science, it is no different from killing life. It can even be defined as "slaughter", which is extremely cruel.
Moreover, it is not enough to study yourself. You have to study all races. However, their own IQ is not enough. Fortunately, other races also have people who are curious about the meaning of life, and are also helping them with research, which also led to the final break.
Several tribes united and gradually drove the barbarians and their accomplices to the Western continent.
However, the unionized tribes were not able to defeat the barbarians and accomplices, but they were driven away. Since the history was a bit long and the records were unknown at that time, many people attributed this to "God's will."
But since then, the taboos of transforming and creating life have been set, which has led to the development of treatment methods here being somewhat biased and natural medicines have been used for treatment, which is somewhat like the development of medical skills in China.
In fact, there are many magical natural medicines in this world, and they have developed quite well, but they have little understanding of the human body. The invention of microscopes has given them some understanding of the essence of the world, but it is absolutely not allowed to use a knife inside the human body.
After learning about this taboo and being told by the locals righteously, Dong Chen stopped trying to challenge authority alone and immediately changed his writing direction.
If life doesn’t work, then come to the machine. It just so happens that the other star is in the steam era. After Dong Chen borrowed several early science fiction novels on Earth, he came to a super steam cannon.
Decades later, the human race used countless steam cannons and airships to win the war against Western barbarians. In order to commemorate the role of the steam cannon, people built a huge steam cannon, used a huge steam boiler to connect the super cannon, and then flew to the moon in an oversized hollow shell, and placed a statue of a steam cannon on the moon, allowing the eternal moon to witness the victory of the human race.
Steam can push the train forward, so the steam cannon can make the projectiles fire far away. Adhering to the concept of "big is beauty" of "not enough kinetic energy, but big ones are used to make up", as long as the cannon and boiler are made large enough and with enough steam pressure, the shells can be fired onto the moon.
In the book, Dong Chen not only wrote about the victory of the human race, but also described the beautiful life of the human race decades later. It was about walking without walking, riding a bicycle and walking a road that was ten times longer.
Steam trains will break away from the constraints of the railway and become small steam cars, speeding on flat roads at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
The airship will become a super giant, carrying dozens or hundreds of people in the sky...
There are related stories about the earth to learn from, and we also know that there will be a rough development trend in the future. Coupled with some characteristics of this world and his own little selfish misleading, a novel came out like this.
In addition, Dong Chen himself can draw, so he also drew some exquisite pictures, including huge steam cannons, the internal structure of flying shells, towering buildings and huge airships, etc.
When Dong Chen gave part of the manuscript to Shia again, she finally calmed down and finished reading it. After reading it, she asked Dong Chen curiously, "Can the steam car you mentioned really drive a speed of 100 kilometers?"
"Is this possible? If the steam car needs to drive to this speed, the steam engine used is larger than the front of the train. You have to pave all the roads with thick steel to withstand its weight."
"Of course, that's fine," Dong Chen said confidently, "Although trains can't run so fast now and are very bulky, when the technology becomes more advanced in the future, it will definitely be realized."
"If it can be achieved, it would be great. At that time, I must drive around in a steam car, and I will drive up to a hundred kilometers!"
It can be heard that Shia is full of yearning for steam cars.
And Dong Chen: "..."
