Ming Dynasty really needs trains now, very, very much needs trains.
As long as there are trains, not only can large amounts of coal be transported conveniently and cheaply to Liaodong and northwest regions, but it can also open up sales in the vast areas south of the Yangtze River.
According to Lin Jingchun's on-the-spot experience, the Jiangnan region has not been very warm in recent years, especially in winter, when the cold snaps are really uncomfortable. He thinks that people in the south will also like high-quality and low-priced briquettes.
However, due to transportation problems, coal prices in the south cannot be further reduced, which has inhibited private purchase willingness to a considerable extent.
Therefore, many areas in the south still use wood or other combustible materials to make fires for heating, which is inefficient and expensive, seriously affecting people's need to improve their quality of life.
"This is simply a crime!"
Lin Jingchun was heartbroken about this.
Why doesn't Su Yonglin want to point out the train technology as soon as possible?
In fact, there are still many technical problems that have not been successfully overcome.
It will take time to turn a steam engine into a steam power machine.
Before, Su Yonglin had racked his brains to think of some key components on the train, and conveyed all the concepts he could think of such as valves, bearings, connecting rod mechanisms, etc. to the technicians.
Under his guidance, technical workers forged some simple samples of relevant parts and conducted preliminary demonstrations. Su Yonglin himself also drew pictures to demonstrate the conversion and use of steam power.
Although he himself does not have the ability to do it and does not know how to smelt iron, this behavior seems to have brought new ideas to the technicians.
After the Republic of China, technical workers began to make every effort to overcome the gear difficulties and realize the transformation of steam engines into power engines in the direction pointed out by Su Yonglin, and achieved certain results.
For example, they have figured out the operating principle of steam power engines and have begun to transform into practical operations, but this does require a lot of time and trial and error costs.
The railroad tracks are also very important.
Su Yonglin used ancient rail vehicles as an example to tell them that trains also need tracks. Unlike ancient rail vehicles, train tracks not only require traditional wooden sleepers, but also iron rails to match the wheels.
Therefore, in the design of the train, the width between the train wheels must match the width of the rails from the beginning, so that the train can run smoothly on the rails.
The principle is very simple. Ancient rail vehicles also operated in this way, but the power was different.
The goal was to replace animal power with steam power.
With the technological advancement of steam power engines, when the time came to the year 2017 of the Republic, skilled workers had already begun to try to lay experimental railway tracks on a road in the northeastern area outside Zhongdu City.
They need to get the prototype steam vehicle running on the track. Only by running it can they determine whether steam power is really feasible and whether it really has strong research value.
If the steam power generated by combustion can really make a cart run at a speed far exceeding that of animal power, then for Ming Dynasty, it would be "Wuhu takes off".
None of this requires spending a lot of money.
Because the steel that can be used to forge important components and rails is the highest-grade product of the Ming Dynasty's steel smelting level, the highest-grade steel smelted with the highest-grade coke.
This type of steel is generally used to forge firearms. Muskets and artillery require this level of steel to be forged. Firearms troops like this high-quality weapon because it is less likely to explode and is safer.
The few remaining high-quality steels are distributed to cold weapon forging factories to forge high-level machetes for front-line melee troops.
After this high-quality magic weapon was distributed to the front-line troops, the first-line melee troops spoke highly of it. With a single strike in front of the battle, the enemy was shattered while the enemy was intact. Everyone disliked this kind of magic weapon.
Because this kind of sword was born in the Hongwu period, after entering the Republic era, it was called the Hongwu sword by army soldiers. If a soldier can be issued a Hongwu sword, it will be a very honorable thing, and he will also be able to fight on the battlefield. There is greater assurance.
Under the urgent needs of the army, a considerable part of the top steel production must be provided to the Ministry of Industry first, and even for this reason, the production quantity of artillery must be reduced to meet the needs of the train research group.
The Ministry of Finance has indeed done its job, and so has the Ministry of Industry.
They all realize that the transportation revolution is urgent. Regarding the issue of the Research and Development Department of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industry have given their full support and will provide as much funding as they need.
Now the pressure is on the R&D team itself. They need to provide real results so that everyone knows that the money is well spent and even worthwhile.
There is not much time left for them, and they are under great pressure. Shi Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has set up his office in the R&D Department for a long time to supervise and help the work of the R&D Department nearby.
Anyone who has a higher perspective on national affairs now sets their sights on the R&D Department and the train research group.
A few years ago, no one would have thought that the train research project that Su Yonglin pursued almost single-mindedly would have become something that everyone urgently needs at this moment.
Most people had to admit Su Yonglin's foresight once again.
When no one expected it, he had seen this day coming and tried his best to push forward the matter.
What's funny is that among the group of people who are now in urgent need of trains to be born and put into operation, a considerable number of them were strongly opposed to Su Yonglin's misappropriation of a large amount of construction funds to invest in the R&D department.
But now, they all know that they were wrong, they know that they are very wrong, and they know what a special existence like a train can bring to Ming Dynasty.
In addition to the daily tasks they have to do, they only have the word "urgent" in their hearts. They wish they could personally go into battle to give guidance and let the skilled workers develop mature trains immediately.
But unfortunately, they don't understand the truth at all.
When they watched the skilled workers write down a large number of calculation formulas that they could not understand at all with pen and paper, and when they watched the skilled workers fight for the slightest distance difference, they could only feel the name of [interlaced lines such as The loss of Geshan].
Fortunately, Ming Dynasty does not only have one thing to do, and the Ministry of Finance cannot only focus on one department of the Ministry of Industry.
For example, Hu Wei, the current Prime Minister of Korea, reported to the court at the beginning of 2017, saying that the five-year plan of the Kingdom of Korea has been successfully completed and that all the oaths he made to the court five years ago have been fulfilled. The Kingdom of Korea is currently ready All is well.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
Some members of the executive committee were not aware of this matter. Su Yonglin himself had been busy for so many years and had almost forgotten the agreement between him and Hu Wei five years ago.
But fortunately, Hu Wei is a very trustworthy person, and if he says five years, it will be five years.
After five years, Hu Wei successfully completed the task assigned to him by Su Yonglin and successfully built Goryeo into a war machine.
