The Path of Survival.

Summary

Xiao Fan designed a steam control chamber with openings for steam distribution and exhaust, ensuring smooth operation of a piston mechanism. He constructed a simple model using bricks and wood, avoiding copper initially. After several adjustments and debugging, he successfully achieved piston movement through steam pressure. Despite initial leaks and performance issues, he refined the system, leading to effective back-and-forth motion of the piston. Although his peers were indifferent, some recognized the invention's significance, marking a successful experiment in steam engine development.
