Emperor Su He has been watching Professor Jiang Qing and Academician Guo Zhenshan busy.
The role of the diesel engine is worth waiting for Emperor Su He.
It is inevitable that internal combustion engines and electric motors will completely replace steam engines.
Diesel engine technology is mature and tanks cannot be built in a short period of time, but by improving current cars, diesel engine cars will certainly be produced.
This greatly strengthened the logistical capabilities of the Imperial Royal Army.
The Imperial Royal Army, which was extremely aggressive during the founding of the People's Republic of China, is now keeping a low profile and is still slowly expanding outward in the border areas.
The progress of the empire's expansion was closely related to the progress of railway construction.
The land expansion of the empire has slowed down, except that ocean expansion can bring greater benefits to the empire.
Expanding on land requires a strong army.
The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Royal Army is closely related to its logistics and transportation capabilities.
The Imperial Royal Army, which has been transformed into mules and horses, has completely insufficient logistics and transportation capabilities to support the army in conducting huge battles.
But because of the railway, the Imperial Royal Army had no opponents in the border areas.
After the emergence of cars with long-distance off-road capabilities, a shackles on the Imperial Army were lifted.
Army generals eager for war will inevitably try their best to promote the expansion of the empire from land.
Emperor Su He will also rest assured that the Imperial Royal Army will go on an expedition.
He is very cautious about war, and the empire is now trying not to suffer a disastrous defeat in foreign wars.
This will allow the enemy to break the idea that the Empire is invincible and give them sufficient confidence to resist the Empire.
Prince Su Shu knew that his father still had many processes to go through today.
However, his father put aside the things he had already arranged and chose to wait in the laboratory for the diesel engine modified by Professor Jiang Qing and others.
He already believed that his father attached great importance to the diesel engine project.
Now it seems that my father attaches great importance to the diesel engine project, which has exceeded his previous expectations.
Prince Su Shu paid more attention to the diesel engine project. In order to express himself, he asked Professor Jiang Qing a few questions related to diesel engines from time to time when he was free.
After Professor Jiang Qing finished tightening the last screw, he asked Academician Guo Zhenshan: "Academician Guo, what do you think this time?"
Academician Guo Zhenshan said confidently: “The steel used in the diesel engine is the latest alloy steel in the empire.
I understand that this steel is extremely hard and tough.
To solve the problem of internal wear and tear of the machinery, as long as the design of the diesel engine is correct and only depends on the operation of the parts, I think there is no problem at all if it runs for one or two thousand hours. "
Professor Jiang Qing thanked Academician Guo Zhenshan for his guidance. He asked his students: "Have you learned it? Can you modify it yourself?"
The students who helped them said in unison: "Teacher, please don't worry, there are not many steps to modify the diesel engine, we can complete it independently."
Professor Jiang Qing turned to Emperor Su He for instructions: "Your Majesty, the power of diesel engines cannot be demonstrated in the laboratory.
I want to install this diesel engine on the machinery on the playground to show the power of diesel engines. "
Emperor Su He nodded and said: "I came to see the diesel engine just to see how powerful it is.
Diesel engines alone are not enough, but also supporting machinery. This is a complete industrial chain. "
Professor Jiang Qing was very excited when he heard that Emperor Su He agreed.
He led the students to carry the modified diesel engine and left the laboratory. They divided into two groups.
Professor Jiang Qing rushed to the playground with the diesel engine.
The students went to the laboratory, where they modified all the spare diesel engines in the laboratory in the same way as before.
When Professor Jiang Qing arrived at the playground, he saw that the situation here was not good.
Most people are of high quality and have no interest in the emergence of diesel engines. They are just watching the fun.
Only a small group of people consciously grasped the shortcomings of diesel engines. They kept laughing and wanted to force students to tell the shortcomings of diesel engines.
Professor Jiang Qing already had a solution to this situation.
"Do you have any questions about diesel engines? Tell me directly.
What's going on around the students who came to help? They don’t understand diesel engines, so how could they talk nonsense? "
Someone couldn't help it and immediately taunted loudly: "Professor Jiang Qing, I saw you demonstrating the diesel engine and only dared to run it for a few minutes. Could it be that the diesel engine has not been designed yet? You are deceiving the emperor and many ministers."
When Professor Jiang Qing heard this questioning, he narrowed his eyes slightly to block the cold light in his eyes.
This man wanted to beat him for the crime of deceiving the emperor, which would cost the lives of his whole family. This was truly undying hatred.
When other people heard this man's vicious words, they couldn't help but stay away from this man.
It is better to have less contact with such a person, otherwise the family will be easily ruined.
Professor Jiang Qing walked to the microphone and said to everyone: "These machines have been running continuously for a long time to test the diesel engines.
After a long period of testing, I was afraid that something would go wrong with these machines and that everyone would misunderstand that something was wrong with the diesel engine.
Once something like this happens, I won't be able to escape even if I jump into the Yellow River.
I have found a new car and simply modified it in front of everyone.
Attach it to the steam engine and let him run around the playground.
There's no way this car will be able to stop while you're gone. "
Professor Jiang Qing knew that in two hours, the playground would be mostly empty.
He was confident he could keep the diesel running for more than two hours.
Li Dagou, the owner of Longchang, immediately stood up and said: "Professor Jiang Qing, I am from Longchang, Professor Jiang can use my car for modification.
This way you don’t have to worry about others saying you were tampering with the car.
Everyone knows something about our Longchang.
Everyone believed that I would not act with Professor Jiang for the sake of Longchanghao's credibility. "
As the owner of Longchang Hao, Li Dagou has been committed to expanding the number of car buyers.
The Longchang steam car was developed and manufactured under his leadership.
As the top car in the empire and the cheapest car, it costs tens of thousands of taels of silver coins.
However, Longchang's cars have been continuously chased by competitors in recent years.
After Li Da learned some information, he went to Huaxia University to participate in a public experiment on diesel engines.
He was willing to provide the Longchang car just because he wanted to see for himself whether the diesel engine was as good as the rumors said.
If this is the case, the Longchang must cooperate with Professor Jiang Qing and must not miss this opportunity.
What he is doing now is to form a good relationship with Professor Jiang Qing to facilitate future cooperation.
If it is fake, he has exposed the scam.
He doesn't need to worry about this matter anymore and look for a more suitable solution.
Professor Jiang Qing agreed immediately. He had already spoken out his words, so he was not afraid of questioning.
Li Daguo kept blowing his whistle to ask people in front to get out of the way.
He drove a convertible car with a high chassis and a somewhat square top to the center of the playground.
When Professor Jiang Qing saw the car, he wrote and drew on the white paper, and then handed a few pieces of white paper to his students, asking them to take action immediately.
Armed with wrenches and other tools, the students began disassembling the car's steam engine.
The steam engine and boiler were directly disassembled, and the huge size made the onlookers feel incredible.
There is only so much space in the car, how on earth can such a huge thing be crammed into it?
The students lifted the diesel engine and placed it easily in front of the car.
After the diesel engine is put down, the front of the car still feels very empty, and there is enough space for one person to sit.
Li Daguo made up his mind that as long as the diesel engines could meet the demand, their Longchang ship would make every effort to purchase diesel engines.
Professor Jiang Qing guided the students to fix the diesel engine through drilling and riveting.
The flywheel of the diesel engine and the drive shaft of the car are connected through a belt.
Professor Jiang Qing finally filled the fuel tank with water and oil, and started the diesel engine with the crank.
After shaking it for a few times, the diesel engine emitted billowing black smoke and started the car.
The car soon started running around the super long distance, emitting black smoke.
When we first ran the first lap, many people didn't care. When would the car stop?
After two laps of running, many people were still rude, but some people's eyes were already bright.
The car ran two laps. According to the previous situation, the car had already had problems, but now it did not.
The car ran around the super long distance for half an hour, and more and more people started talking.
"It seems to be running smoothly for such a long time. The performance of the diesel engine is very good."
"It's great. Looking at the performance of the diesel engine, I have no problem using it in my factory."
"Now I just hope that the price of diesel engines will be cheap, let alone the price of diesel engines."
"It's really eye-opening. Who spread the rumor just now? Diesel engines are obviously running well. This is already a mature technology."
When Professor Jiang Qing saw this situation, tears flowed unconsciously from his eyes.
Considering the importance Emperor Su He attaches to diesel engines, he will definitely win the Dragon Award this year.
He doesn't have to worry about the internal combustion engine project dying midway. His name will definitely be engraved in the history of the empire.
Urged by the honking of diesel cars, everyone began to leave Huaxia University in an orderly manner.
Emperor Su He and Prince Su Shu also left Huaxia University accompanied by President Xu Qinqing.
He looked at Prince Su Shu and said: "Shu'er, you discovered the internal combustion engine project, and you will continue to follow up on the progress of this project.
The funds for the internal combustion engine project no longer use the empire's scientific research funds, but are transferred to the royal family's scientific research funds, which are provided to Professor Jiang Qing in unlimited quantities to help him market diesel engine technology as soon as possible. "
Prince Su Shu had a smile on his face. His father's current arrangements proved that he had performed very well just now.
The empire's scientific research funds are huge scientific research funds specially established by the emperor and managed by the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Applications for this money can basically be released to individuals as long as they pass the review of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
For projects that receive imperial funds, once the project is successful, 10% of the proceeds will be collected until the end of the patent period.
This money is fully injected into scientific research funds and used to help others.
The threshold for review is very low, but oak needs to reach a certain stage before funding will continue.
As long as you don't deliberately fabricate projects to defraud state funds, general research doesn't cost much.
All the royal family's funds are invested in technologies that have been successfully developed.
Investing in these projects will cost more money, but it is safer.
The reason why Prince Su Shu is happy is that his father's order allows him to control these two funds, which can greatly increase his voice.
He immediately gave his assurance: "Father, please rest assured that I will definitely protect the diesel engine project.
As they got on the bus back to the palace, Prince Su Shu couldn't help but ask: "Why does my father attach so much importance to the diesel engine? I think this machine is only slightly better than the steam engine."
Emperor Su He briefly described a world with diesel engines to Prince Su Shu, making him pay more attention to this technology.
"The diesel engine is the heart of the empire's industry, I believe this, and I will not make a mistake in my judgment.
Diesel engines of the same power are not large at all, and can be used in situations where steam engines cannot enter, such as narrow spaces.
The energy source of the diesel engine is diesel. The empire has abundant oil reserves, but the coal reserves are mainly concentrated in the western region.
The main coal is buried relatively deep and is too laborious to dig out. Coal prices continue to rise.
This has led to high coal prices in the South.
This is the main industrial area of the empire, so the factory owners are forced to find ways to improve.
They were forced to use oil to burn their boilers.
The oil in Nanyang and other places is extremely convenient to extract. After simple processing, it becomes diesel oil.
Many oil wells are near the sea, making transportation of diesel more convenient.
In this way, even if diesel engines are similar to steam engines, many people in the empire will choose diesel engines.
But now it seems that the performance of the diesel engine is even better, and it is completely a superior replacement for the steam engine.
Steam engines can enhance the strength of the empire, and the emergence of stronger diesel engines will definitely bring the strength of the empire to a higher level. It is indeed a veritable industrial heart. "
After Prince Su Shu listened to his father's words, what impressed him most was the analogy.
He knew that many of the things the empire now owned were inseparable from steam engines.
After the diesel engine becomes popular, it will bring greater shock to society than the steam engine.
When the steam engine first appeared, there were not many factories using steam engines.
When the diesel engine appeared, there were too many factories using steam engines.
They may all try their best to resist the diesel engine because of their interests.
But these people are just mantises acting as vehicles. Under his escort, the diesel engine cannot be destroyed by these little people.
When Prince Su Shu saw his father returning to Qianqing Palace, he immediately called the ministers of the empire and convened an impromptu imperial meeting.
The emergence of the diesel engine had a wide-ranging impact on the empire.
Prince Su Shu speculated that his father was so eager because he saw that the emergence of diesel engines might cause some turmoil to the empire.
Once the empire survives in peace, it will usher in great development.
As my father often said, crisis is an opportunity.
Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.
The purpose of the imperial meeting is to prevent a certain detail from not being taken into consideration, causing huge fluctuations in the empire.
Prince Su Shu also attended the imperial meeting.
The course of the meeting was not much different from what he expected.
He was very curious about what imperial ministers who had experienced the baptism of steam engines would think of diesel engines.
Prince Su Shu observed the quarrels between the various forces, and he could learn a lot from them.
He also admired his father and established an imperial meeting.
These ministers are all old foxes, and their subordinates basically charge first in the court.
In the royal meeting, they are the only ones participating, and they must come up with real ideas. (End of chapter)
