/kloc-in the 8th century, james watt was born in a small town in Scotland. Watt's father is a skilled shipbuilder. He has his own boat and a place to build it. Because Watt was weak when he was a child, he didn't spend much time at school and spent more time at home. The main education is carried out by his mother at home. Watt spends more time at home, so he can see his father building a boat at his house. I don't know if it is because of the influence of Watt's father's work. Watt has shown strong hands-on ability since he was a child, and
When Watt 17 years old, his mother died and his father's business began to decline, so Watt went to work in a repair shop in London for a year and then returned to his hometown to open a repair shop. At that time, there was no instrument repair shop in his hometown. Also because Watt failed to be an apprentice for seven years as required, the application for opening a shop was rejected. After refusing, Watt went to London to look for musical instruments and began training. Watt's later learning experience was also quite tortuous. By chance, a professor at Glasgow University gave Watt a chance to open a small repair shop in the university, which helped Watt out of the predicament. From then on, the professor in Glasgow and Watt became friends. He was Watt's mentor. After opening his shop for five years, Watt, led by a friend, began to study steam engines.
Watt didn't see the steam engine work until he first began to study it. His first experiment failed. He insisted on finding all the knowledge he knew about the steam engine and found the key to repairing the steam engine. At that time, a steam engine in the university was repaired in London, so Watt asked the school to take it back and repair it himself. Watt has been obsessed with the research of steam engine for many years, and finally improved the steam engine through unremitting efforts, making mankind enter age of steam.
