However, Li Sheng was certainly engaged in the design of the second-generation internal combustion engine during this period.
In Li Sheng's previous life, when he read the textbooks of the Polytechnic and the principle explanations of dynamic diagrams, the internal combustion engine was quite simple. Combined with the actual situation...
Thinking about how popular single-cylinder diesel engines are in rural areas, you know that the technical threshold for this thing is not high.
But that’s because of the entire industrial system of later generations!
Made of a huge system, a single-cylinder diesel engine can indeed be made extremely cheaply.
But in this era, the situation is different.
Although Wu Meiniang, Chai Shao, and the maritime merchants traveling to and from Hangzhou... all praised the new "Supreme Clipper" recently produced by the shipyard, calling it an artifact of the sea.
But Li Sheng himself was not at all swollen, even proud, or even satisfied with being praised...
Because even if a sea-going ship is equipped with an internal combustion engine, sails are still needed to go to sea...
In other words, the energy efficiency of this prototype version of the internal combustion engine is certainly much better than the previous steam engines.
But compared to the rural single-cylinder diesel engine that Li Sheng is most familiar with, it is countless times worse... It is a world of difference.
At this level, Li Sheng naturally wouldn't think this thing is so awesome...even agricultural diesel engines can't compare to this kind of product.
Although... although this thing has already become a craze among maritime merchants. In the middle of the year, the shipyard announced that internal combustion engine ships would be put on sale. By the end of the year, the price of a second-hand internal combustion engine sea ship had been speculated to four times the ex-factory price.
Five times... This directly led to Wu Meiniang's overtime work intensity increasing significantly. Recently, even her skin was not as supple as before.
The reason is very simple. Wu Meiniang was fetched several times the ex-factory price on the black market. Wu Meiniang is responsible for the profits of the industrial zone. Of course, she can only "have no goods in the factory" at any time. In fact, she is a scalper and gets everything to a "third party"
The channel is sold...
Li Sheng couldn't laugh or cry when he found out about this matter. He never expected it...
I traveled through time travel and turned out to be the person I hated most in my previous life.
Then Boss Huang sells graphics cards in such a bad way, right?...
Now it's his turn... The key is that Li Sheng can't refuse this kind of thing.
After all, as an individual, I own 30% of the shares in the Hangzhou Industrial Zone.
This profit is so awesome!
Of course, Li Sheng still has a lot in mind. He knows that science and technology cannot always squeeze toothpaste, so he has worked very hard on scientific research in the past six months.
Isn't this... It's the end of this year, and Li Sheng's internal combustion engine No. 2 is almost completed.
Of course, this second engine is not a simple upgrade of the first engine. Li Sheng's goal... First of all, it is natural to produce a machine that can eliminate sails as soon as possible. In this regard, steam engines have been used for a long time in history.
.
Steam engines were not really eliminated until the 21st century, but the material for burning boilers changed from coal to nuclear reactors.
But in addition to this part, in fact, a long time ago, when ironclad ships first came out, they also used steam engines. The main reason is that steam engines are not as expensive as internal combustion engines after all. As long as they work hard and optimize them, they are still very reliable marine power.
But the demand in this area is not the reason why Li Sheng built the No. 2 engine. As for the idea of building a sailless and mastless sea-going ship when it comes out, Li Sheng's plan is still a steam engine - but this future big thing, the design engineering
A considerable part of Li Sheng's work was outsourced to Wei Ziyu's team.
The mission of the internal combustion engine is not that simple. Li Sheng can be said to have high hopes for it, let alone this thing...
At the very least, you need to be able to drive a speedboat, right?...
If a usable machine can be built, then Li Sheng's dream can come true. He can just take Wu Meiniang, Mian'er, Danqing and other beauties on board a yacht to go out to sea for a walk and fish... The experience will be incomparable!
Of course, as long as Li Sheng wanted to, it was not impossible to directly go to sea on a big ship.
But... It is said that a man's romance lies in driving a Gundam. If you don't have a Gundam, you must at least drive an excavator for fun.
And since you are going to go out to sea, how can you not have a yacht with strong power and extraordinary maneuverability that you can personally drive?... Although the big ship is good, the craftsmen of Datang can make the building very exquisite, even according to the size of the boat.
With their current craftsmanship, they can make large-scale cruise ships not much worse than the large cruise ships of later generations.
But Li Sheng is Li Sheng after all, and he doesn’t like luxury. When he goes to sea, he has to sail the boat himself!
Of course, such a beautiful plan cannot be separated from a powerful internal combustion engine. This is the first application scenario arranged by Li Sheng for the No. 2 engine...
Of course, there will be one later, and Li Sheng has no doubt that there will also be Unit 3! It will be used to make cars!
And the No. 4 machine, install a pair of propellers on it, and let the whole plane come out for fun...
But at that point, the workload will be even greater, and the design will be more complex and arduous. Anyway, Li Sheng will be responsible for the No. 2 internal combustion engine again soon. This is a rigid need for "self-realization", and he also has to build a steam engine.
...To build a truly mechanically powered ship, as a businessman, you can't do the same thing as squeezing out toothpaste and changing shells! ...
Li Sheng was naturally very busy with both advanced steam engines and advanced internal combustion engines. During the past six months, Li Sheng originally didn't like the atmosphere of basic necessities, food, housing and transportation that the literati in the south of the Yangtze River had. He always found it unbearable, but now he just
Slowly it became really fragrant... If nothing else, this villa in Hangzhou won Li Sheng's heart.
certainly……
Because it is becoming more and more difficult to develop things, Li Sheng often "retreats" for a while when he encounters technical "bottlenecks" that are difficult to solve in the past six months, asking Wu Meiniang to represent various visitors to Hangzhou.
such as.
Li Sheng now has status and authority. Although he tries to keep a low profile, more and more people from all walks of life begin to come as visitors from time to time.
But what makes Li Sheng a little depressed is that this time...
I was still in seclusion, but Lao Li and others came...
The key point is that it's the New Year's Eve recently. Li Sheng thought that since it's the New Year, no one usually comes to visit, right? Therefore, he has been in seclusion for the past half month without any distractions. He didn't expect that Wu Meiniang told him that it was Lao Li and others who were here after everything was over.
.
This made Li Sheng a little unhappy. This girl Wu Meiniang... Since it was Lao Li and others who came, why didn't they report it earlier?
As for those old people like Lao Li who are not shy, it’s even more weird. They don’t eat hot pot at home during the Chinese New Year, but come out to drink with me. It’s really... I can only say, "... This old Bideng is completely useless."
It’s in shape…”
Li Sheng couldn't help but murmur when he went downstairs from the small building in the other courtyard. Wu Meiniang on the side quietly smiled. After a while, Li Sheng led Wu Meiniang to the reception room downstairs...
