Stephenson, an expert on tank internal combustion engines, asked Liu Zheng: "Sir, I don't know why you have to shrink and package the internal combustion engine into such a murderous weapon."
"For Long Yan, their army is now powerful enough."
"If you just shrink the internal combustion engine and invent some delivery vehicles, I can guarantee that you can create a model within three months, and you will be able to ride on a mature product within a year."
Liu Zheng shook his head and looked at the scientist from Britain.
"No, Stephenson, you do not understand the true significance of these inventions."
"This is not an equipment that is only acquired in order to obtain a larger area or a larger territory."
"These things are for self-protection!"
"You may not know how many countries and how many people are currently focusing on Long Yan's science and technology and the benefits created by Long Yan."
"If one day, you think George III or the newly-appointed Louis XVI have obtained enough weapons to destroy Dragon Flame, do you think they will launch an attack on us?"
"This..." Stephenson was stunned, and his words were stuck in his throat.
He is a British man. Although he was born in a family of engineers, his life is not rich. Even so, he still has no shortage of channels to obtain information.
At that time, Britain had just defeated the Spanish Armada at sea and was forced to give up most of its colonies.
These colonies originally had owners and were not ownerless lands.
The law at that time clearly stipulated that areas with indigenous residents could not become colonies.
So because there are no indigenous residents in these places, bloody tragedies have been staged in these tribes!
The reason is to plunder!
Stephenson fell into deep thought. After a long time, he responded: "Maybe you are right... But after promoting the internal combustion engine, your opponents will also have such technology. If they want to develop a tank, it will be an extremely difficult task. Simple things."
Liu Zheng shook his head and said: "If you put things here, it's their ability to learn them, but do you think the most important thing about a tank is the internal combustion engine?"
"It's material!"
"This kind of synthetic material for making tanks will be a new type of material that has not been researched for more than ten years, including Britain!"
"Even if they have enough Dreadnought-class battleships that are comparable to supply ships, this material is not just for strength!"
"But I still feel that such a weapon should not be made. It is too terrifying." Stephen Su said with his hands.
Liu Zheng finally said solemnly: "Mr. Stephenson, you are a British person. I don't know if you have this kind of family and country feelings."
"Long Yan does not have a colony. For us, there is only one home."
"There is a difference between having a sword in your hand and not using it, and having no sword in your hand!"
After saying that, Liu Zheng turned and left. Before leaving, he told his research team to continue to strengthen the internal combustion engine and enhance heat dissipation measures. Other areas still need to be polished.
But now the tanks can move for three minutes, which is a good thing for them.
After Liu Zheng left, Stephenson was left alone to ponder the rights and wrongs of this matter.
…
After Liu Zheng left, he came to another specially set up research institute in the base.
Research here is another invention that could change the world.
She was able to quickly communicate with people at opposite ends of the world, and even the telephone that would change the world in the future was an extension of this invention.
radio!
This kind of invention that can quickly bring communication between two worlds is enough to change the world.
It will bring the world closer, and more importantly, such inventions will change the world.
Military orders will be issued promptly.
However, the radio technology is not mature now, and sending a signal is intermittent. At least it takes Long Yan close to a month to communicate with Qing Yangshuo across such a long distance.
If it wasn't that Qing Yangshu didn't have time to reply, it was because there was some interference during the signal transmission process.
Today's batteries are not good either, and current radio signal transmission requires continuous transportation of hand-cranked generators.
Otherwise, the radio transmitter would have no way to transmit the signal to a long distance and would cause the entire process to collapse due to loss of power.
Scientists studying radio transportation saw Liu Zheng's arrival and sent him sincere greetings.
"Welcome, the great Chief Assistant of Long Yan, Lord Liu Zheng."
Liu Zheng glanced at him and sighed inwardly. After sitting in this position, everyone spoke to him politely.
"Has the problem of radio signal stability been solved? Have you detected the specific reason?"
The researcher sighed and said: "The transmission of radio signals is too fast, and the distance here is a bit short, so there is no way to verify what the problem is."
"Unless the same research measures are carried out at a greater distance, the problem can be identified quickly."
Upon hearing these words, Liu Zheng waved his hand: "Simple, Doctor, you pick a suitable place, and the research institute you need will be built there."
"Thank you, sir!"
…
At this time, Naresh, the visiting delegation from Tsarist Russia, came all the way from Tsarist Russia to Longyan.
Jinghua is now the capital of Longyan.
But Naresh visited Liangzhou first, because according to his inquiries, Liu Zheng was in Liangzhou now.
But after he arrived in Liangzhou, he reported to Liu Mansion.
But he got the news that Liu Zheng was not there.
"When will Mr. Liu come back, we will be waiting at the inn." Naresh's servant responded.
The servants in the Liu Mansion said calmly: "We don't know when the Lord will come back. If you think you can wait, just wait here at the inn."
After saying this, the servant slammed the door, shutting out the marshal of Tsarist Russia!
"This... is too much!" Naresh's servant said angrily.
They have never been on a mission to a country, and they have never seen such unruly servants.
"Shut up, we didn't even notify you in advance of our visit."
The servant opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but was stopped by Naresh's eyes.
Naresh said in a deep voice: "Don't be too troublesome. We are asking for Long Yan this time. Now we are staying in the post house. We can take advantage of this time to see the development of Liangzhou. I heard that this place used to be a barren land..."
"yes……"
Naresh took a look at the Liu Mansion. It was magnificent, but it looked like a nouveau riche. He turned around and left.
Walking to the inn in Liangzhou, I saw Long Yan's workers erecting a building that looked like a gas lamp, but it obviously looked much more advanced than a gas lamp.
There are no gas pipes inside, but there are thin thread-like things.
Naresh couldn't help but asked curiously: "Old man, what are you doing?"
The old man glanced at Naresh and felt that he had a special appearance and his eyes were all blue. He said without any surprise, "It's just an electric light."
"Electric light, but this is obviously a gas street light!"
"You must be foreign businessmen coming to Longyan for the first time. No wonder you haven't seen this kind of electric lamp before."
"It is brighter than the gas lamp you talk about. When it is lit at night, the whole street is illuminated as it is during the day!"
