Chapter 57, Curious Engineer

It doesn’t mean that once you have an engine, you have a car or a construction machine.

Chassis, moving parts, suspension system, transmission system, body design, control system... To build a good car, there are many things needed besides the engine.

However, the problems of good and bad can be solved later. With a suitable source of power, everything can start.

To put it bluntly, if you take the entire alloy plastic steel frame, the entire transmission rod, and some wheels, make a three-wheeled jumper that can run, and pull a cart behind it, it will be much more advanced than using human power or animal power.

Now that the engine is available, if some more vehicles and engineering machine designs are developed later, the heavy industry in Gu Hang's territory will be able to take a big step forward.

Before that, Gu Hang plans to find someone to design a simple vehicle that can move, improve transportation efficiency, and do some exports. If the output is good and the performance is sufficient, a three-wheeled small truck can be built.

With the addition of our troops, we will become a motorized infantry regiment.

Gu Hang arrived at his secret base, where he dug a basement and built walls. The loyal and reliable servitor soldiers received strict orders to guard here and not let anyone in.

Of course, the governor can come in at will.

Here, the two technologies that were pulled out before, the four black box manufacturing machines, are all there.

In addition, a lot of open space has been reserved. On the one hand, it is reserved for the four existing machines to feed and produce; on the other hand, it is also convenient for placing more machines in the future.

He configured the two new machines.

There are also workers in this secret factory. The level of confidentiality is high and they are not allowed to leak. They are required to live in the factory. They are not allowed to go out unless there are special circumstances. They will be monitored when they go out.

They poured the raw materials into the finished black box of the engine. Soon, under Gu Hang's preliminary settings, two engines, one large and one small, that met his requirements were produced.

These two engines will be sent to the research institute and handed over to the technician who got off the Quintet to figure it out.

Anyway, there is no clue to conquer the self-produced synthetic starch production line, and it is a bit difficult to do it. There is no way, the industrial foundation and scientific research foundation under Gu Hang's command are in shambles, even if it is relatively basic technology on the scale of the entire empire's civilization, if you want to

It’s also difficult to do.

This also proves how valuable the technological functions in the Gu Hang system are.

To put it bluntly, if Gu Hang wants to meet the biennial tax payment in the future, whether the things provided by the technology panel can be used well will be the key.

If Gu Hang had the ability to turn Raging Owl into a small forging world, then there would be no need to worry about the lowest level of imperial tax.

Let’s talk about now.

Two of the finished products were first made using black boxes. Once the research institute has a specific application plan, more can be made.

The production line black box is not in a hurry to start. It will also wait until the application solution can be implemented before starting to produce engines at full capacity.

There is no need to worry about any of this.

…

The person who had high hopes from Gu Hang, who was supposed to help him figure out how to overcome the technical difficulties of synthetic starch, and come up with an application plan for the 'Kneading Stone' engine, was scratching his head with his robotic hand, thinking about his secret factory.

Wu Jiarong was really curious.

She comes from a forge world, is a technical specialist, and once had the possibility of being promoted to a machinist.

But... the internal fighting within the Mechanicus was much more serious than outsiders imagined. She lost the fight. Not only was she unable to be promoted, but all her property and knowledge became the property of others. By the way, she also lost her personal freedom.

It was paid as imperial tax.

But since then, she has not been able to count the fortunes, but at least the situation has not continued to be miserable.

After all, she was a technical specialist, not a slave laborer. When the Pegasus fleet needed additional personnel, she was thrown into the Quintet and worked there for ten years.

Originally, she had already accepted her fate.

After leaving the Forge World and the system of the Adeptus Mechanicus, it was unlikely that she would have any room for improvement. Even on the Quintet, there was more than just her as a technical specialist, and there were even several technical priests, but it was difficult for her.

Being accepted as a student, I hope that those who are taken away from the starship in the future will have another chance to develop.

Even after a long time, she still felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with living like this.

Not too busy, no need for intrigues, just do your own thing well and maintain your part of the starship structure - especially the logistics system. She still has a group of slave workers, junior specialists, who obey her management and deployment.

As for herself, after work, she also has some free time, which she can use to study things she is interested in, make some gadgets, and entertain herself.

My life seems to be going well.

Just when she had almost accepted her fate, a transfer order came from Brigadier General Yelicia, and she, along with several junior specialists, brought the synthetic starch production line and spare parts and sent them to the surface.

The good days are over.

That's what she thought.

Wu Jiarong found that she couldn't seem to accept her fate. As soon as she accepted her fate, she would immediately slap you in the face and slap you a little lower to see if you still admit it.

Ten years ago, she failed to win the fight and gave up. When she planned to consider promotion next time, she was exterminated and became an imperial tax from which she could never return. Now, she no longer struggles and feels that she will spend the rest of her life on the starship.

It was pretty good to have sex, and I even planned to find a man to marry and have a baby while my body transformation hadn't reached my belly yet, but in the end, I was sent to the surface of the Raging Owl again.

Anyway, there will always be a lower limit.

But what can be done?

She could only work hard without complaining.

However, after arriving on the surface, she found that... the situation seemed not as bad as she imagined?

She knew that Governor Gu almost started developing this place from scratch. The industrial foundation and scientific research foundation were almost nothing.

But other than that, everything else is great!

She has no worries about food and clothing, and the food she eats is even better than on the starship. Although she has received the governor's order and is studying how to realize the synthetic starch technology under limited conditions, she does not need to eat synthetic starch herself.

According to the work point calculation created by the Governor, her work points are quite high, and her ration quota and quality are both good.

You can get the sun during the day and the night breeze at night, but you don't have these things on a starship.

And the more important point is that she has found the long-lost 'goal' again.

This thing sounds fictitious, but in practice it actually means one thing: knowing the meaning of what you do.

She saw how the refugees from Fuxing City in the camp had insufficient food to eat. To be honest, she didn't have much sympathy for them, but through her own research, it was not a bad thing to be able to provide them with food.

When the time comes, she can see people's smiling faces, she can get praise from the governor, and she can know what her work is really changing.

It's not like being on a starship, day after day, year after year, but no clear work results are seen. There doesn't seem to be much difference between daily maintenance of those artillery pieces and those machines and maintenance at intervals.

Besides, the synthetic starch topic given by the Governor itself is quite interesting.

It's challenging, but it seems to be within my capabilities.

She is motivated to do well.

In addition to motivation and goals, she also found another thing that had disappeared for a long time:

curiosity.

She was so curious as to what was going on in the Governor's secret factory.
