The English mechanic Watt improved the steam engine. 1785, Watt's improved steam engine was first put into use in the textile sector. People use the power provided by steam engine to drive machines to produce, which greatly promotes the development of large factory production. Since then, mankind has entered the "age of steam". Sun Qijun, an English engineer, invented the locomotive by using the steam engine. Since then, the rapid development of railway traffic has brought great convenience to people's production and life.

4. Around1840, British large machine production became the main mode of industrial production, and the industrial revolution was completed.
