Of course, it doesn’t matter whether you are from Hangzhou or not.
What is said is that you need to find a shipyard and install an internal combustion engine for testing when building the ship.
Of course, things like engines can also be tested on the ground, but they have to be put on a car...
First of all, the energy efficiency of the internal combustion engine used in automobiles is actually very high. It is something that can be seen everywhere in modern society, but in the eyes of ancient people, it was a good thing that they could not even think of.
Then, it is impossible for me to be too ambitious and force myself to develop high-standard and high-configuration engines to trap myself——
That level of complexity is still a single-handed research. If you are not careful, it may take ten or eight years to get involved. In modern society, even Wuling Hongguang's engine cannot be developed alone. Li Sheng's workload can be imagined.
Know.
And if you want to reduce the workload, then the quality of the work... So the starting point must be marine machinery, naturally a diesel engine, the idea of gasoline is too luxurious...
The biggest advantage of marine machines is that even if the accuracy is not very good, the bumps on the sea are not so obvious. As long as the speed can be increased, then this machine will be the god of wealth for shipowners, sailors, and the Forbidden Soldiers who sail across the sea.
and Mingguang Armor.
But...it was only after thinking of this that Li Sheng recalled the conversation he had with Wu Meiniang a few days ago.
That's right... Hangzhou Shipyard is currently going to start splitting up and establishing more unpopular ports, even completely undeveloped wild ports and other places... and even overseas bases.
But research and development is in Hangzhou...
At this time, Li Sheng couldn't help but blame himself. In fact, there was something wrong with the instructions he told Wu Meiniang. In fact, the research institute and the shipyard could not be separated from each other, so it was better not to separate the two places.
A late old man once said, What can people learn about agriculture if they never go to the fields? And science and technology are mediocre. People who don’t even have a factory at home can learn nothing about science...
Especially for something as important as the engine, it is not easy to work on without application scenarios to give people reference...
But at least the carriage has already traveled more than half way and will arrive in Hangzhou soon.
How to carry out the next step of research and development work? Li Sheng shook his head, but quickly made up his mind. Since the original steam engine project could be led by himself and led Lingzhou College to complete it collectively, then this time...
"If you want to increase your salary as your skills improve, why not let's see how your skills improve..."
Li Sheng quickly made a decision in his mind.
If the newly expanded research institute in Hangzhou has accumulated sufficient means and experience like Lingzhou College, then of course the internal combustion engine can also be developed in Hangzhou.
And Li Sheng's thoughts don't stop there, because the research institute in Hangzhou is not only an "academic institution", but also directly connected to the industry, which is obviously different from Lingzhou College.
In other words, the research institute in Hangzhou may be even more powerful than Lingzhou College. After all...
Chinese Han people in China are proud of their deep and reserved nature. If they don’t have anything in their hands, how can these craftsmen with low social status ask Wu Meiniang for wages?
Of course, all this depends on the results of the first major admissions exam after the institute is established.
Thinking of this, Li Sheng couldn't help but have the evil intention of setting up the questions himself and entering the Olympiad difficulty level...
Hey hey hey...
…
"This is……"
Asmin reluctantly raised her sleepy arms and used her palms instead of hats to block the intense sunlight. She managed to pull herself together and took a look at the surrounding environment.
Yes……
This is Mangbai.
The natives here also call it "Menmai" or "Menmai", but because the whole ship... no, it's the members of the fleet who came together. They are already used to Maoma. At first, I don't know who asked about it.
, and then relayed it to others, and finally everyone called it "Mangbai".
Of course, this doesn't matter.
The important thing is that Asmin knows that she still has things to do today. When she wakes up from her nap, she should start working and not fish.
After all, when we came out... to "reclam", except for the goods and tools carried on a few boats, this branch had nothing else. Being lazy was equivalent to a crime.
Through the air that was distorted by the blazing sunlight, Asmin saw from a distance that there were several companions who had come together. They had ended their lunch break at some point and were driving piles of wooden piles——
The establishment of a branch is truly...
Literally, "to establish."
Because the destination I chose is true...
The word people in the Tang Empire often said: barren land!
The population is so sparsely populated that there are almost no traces of farming in the entire place.
And this was in ancient times. There were no traces of farming, which meant that the place was still in a wild state.
In the eyes of modern people, rural areas are almost equivalent to wilderness, but in fact... to put it harshly, these are all infantile diseases born from staying in the civilized world for a long time. No food is conjured out of thin air in the supermarket.
No farming means no one settles.
No one has settled here, which means that there is no ready food in this place for you to exchange for the coins your Majesty just issued, and there are poisonous insects and beasts running rampant everywhere, and the most speechless thing.
Rainfall is very frequent here, and the sun can accumulate enough water vapor in the air for three to five hours to cause a heavy rain.
The thing is so cruel. As the "manager" of this "branch", Asmin took more than a hundred people to sleep on the shore the first night after getting off the ship. As a result, some people died early the next morning.
Well, the reason... poisonous snake.
And then... all kinds of difficulties far away from the productive areas of agricultural civilization also followed one after another.
Not only were there snakes, insects, and poisonous ants, but members also witnessed animals like tigers appearing during some tasks such as looking for water sources, finding local fruits to supplement their food, and surveying the terrain.
But all this...
Asmin discovered that none of the members who came from the Tang Empire complained. If the boatmen among the members of this "branch" were okay, many of them were farmers themselves. Although the work of reclaiming wasteland was hard, but
That's all...
The key is that the climate here is warm, so after the exchange, although I was very tired, I did not feel panic about life - since it is warm, at least it is no problem to grow things to fill my stomach, not to mention...
Going out to sea with ships has become a common practice in the Tang Dynasty, which has directly alleviated many problems of population explosion and increasing land pressure that have quietly started since the founding of Zhenguan.
But what Asmin didn't expect was that there were many young people with college backgrounds among the branch members. They also had almost no complaints, and all of them looked high-spirited.
