When the transmission and the internal combustion engine are combined, a product that transcends eras will be born.
Although cars with only an engine can also be used, such cars cannot reverse, which brings great inconvenience.
It was until the advent of the later gearbox that the car became more convenient.
It was also from that time that the convenience of cars began to show itself.
Considering the technical difficulties, Liu Zheng paused and said: "Let's first develop a gearbox with a forward gear and a reverse gear. Combined with the operation of the internal combustion engine, we need a vehicle that can walk without horses."
Hearing such a request, the director obviously didn't believe his ears, but Stephenson, who was transferred to the engine research room, was extremely excited.
When he said that he would apply a giant steam engine to a car, no one would believe it. As a result, Long Yan directly built such a machine at that time.
And now Liu Zheng said whimsically that he would build a car that can walk without horses. He was inexplicably excited.
This is also a study that is unlikely to succeed.
But it doesn't mean that it really won't succeed.
He believed that with the current level of technology, it might not be a big problem anymore. After all, battleships and steam trains that were more difficult than this kind of thing had already been built.
The director sighed and said: "I will try, but now there is no way to guarantee success."
Liu Zheng nodded. This kind of thing still requires a long time of research, but problems with steam engines have gradually been exposed.
Most steam engines are not easy to carry around.
Moreover, the current steam engine has reached a bottleneck in terms of power, and it is difficult to improve it.
This is controlled by the structure of the steam engine and current technical barriers.
And now Britain has used Longyan's steam engine technology to create a Dreadnought-class battleship.
A battleship of this level already poses a danger to Long Yan to a certain extent.
It was only a matter of time before steam engine technology was broken through.
Therefore, for Long Yan, the invention of the internal combustion engine became particularly important.
The successful production of the internal combustion engine means that Long Yan will be able to research such a terrifying weapon as the tank.
A super weapon that is nearly invincible on land.
The advent of tanks can directly change the current military combat pattern, unlike the advent of artillery and muskets.
Although the troops use hot weapons, more cold weapons and cavalry are already the most damaging arms on the battlefield.
But after the advent of tanks, the status of cavalry will be infinitely reduced. Faced with such a crushing weapon that cannot be destroyed at all.
The enemy's artillery and musketry were in vain.
Thinking of this, Liu Zheng's heart beat excitedly, but the premise of all this must be based on the success of mature and stable research on internal combustion engines.
…
At this time, America.
The party at George's house came to an end.
Qin was very drunk and was carried to the car by Earl Lane when she left. For such a shameful behavior, George could only say sorry.
There was no way he could drink less to Qin. Maybe if he drank more, he could forget all the unpleasantness.
That's what he thought.
When Earl Lane left, he said to George: "I hope that after today, Qin will not want to see you when she wakes up."
George nodded and said, "May your wish come true."
Earl Lane boarded the luxurious carriage and set off to leave.
Qin woke up faintly on the way. Although the wine he drank just now was strong, it would not make Qin completely drunk.
The reason why she pretended to be like that was because she wanted to see if George would help her.
As a result, George only watched her from the beginning to the end. Even helping her was done by his maid and Earl Lane.
Earl Lane looked at his daughter and said with concern: "Now you can see clearly, George has no feelings for you."
"Your love for him is only based on your fantasy. Well, give up on him. We will have a better choice."
Qin looked at his father blankly, and suddenly noticed the wrinkles on the corners of his eyes.
Qin took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I'll figure it out."
She looked at the starlight outside the carriage window, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her beautiful eyes.
…
But at this time, George Manor welcomed an uninvited guest, who came from the military.
It was precisely because of his arrival that George had to end the dance early and say goodbye to all the guests.
George walked into the room without Martha even touching him.
Because this time the military came with a very high-level mission.
Steven looked at George and smiled: "I was rude. If I knew you were holding a dance, maybe I should have arrived later."
George poured him a glass of milk and said, "No, you came just in time. Thanks to your help, I can escape from this boring dance."
"And my children have already reached the time when they should sleep. You know sleep is very important for the growth of children."
"Try this milk, it comes from my countryside, maybe you will like it."
Steven nodded and took a sip of milk. He felt that it tasted really good.
"Well, that's right. It turns out that our congressman from Vergilis is actually an outstanding farmer."
Hearing such praise, George smiled. He looked at Steven and asked in a low voice: "Why did your military come to me this time?"
Steven put away his previous attitude and said seriously: "This time I came with the joint order of Clintsy and the military department."
Hearing this, George looked serious.
The conflict between the military and Clancy was already very deep.
They actually jointly issued orders to themselves, so it seems that this order will definitely not be simple.
"What order."
Steven stepped forward and whispered in George's ear: "Clancy wants you to go to Dragon Flame..."
After hearing this, George's brows became more and more frowning until he wrote the word "Sichuan".
"Do you understand? Although the military does not want you to go, as the commander of the colony, Clintsy is giving orders, and we have no way to refuse him."
"What does the military mean?" George asked calmly.
Steven sighed and said: "As your friend, I can tell you that the military does not want you to go, but the military is now ready to give up on you."
"Hey, maybe you can also escape to Longyan with your whole family. This is also a good choice for you."
"And I just pretend I haven't been here."
This is not what George is thinking about right now.
These three tasks didn't pose much trouble to him, so he just told Qing Yangshuo that failure of the tasks was inevitable.
The key thing he wanted to know was the role played by the military.
Hearing what Steven said, George felt relieved.
He said: "I can go to such a person, but there is no way to guarantee success. After all, Clancy did not give me the chips to succeed."
