Emperor Su He has been watching Professor Jiang Qing and Academician Guo Zhenshan busy.
The role of the diesel engine is worth the wait of 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 its border areas.
The progress of empire expansion is 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 of the Empire being 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, my 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 kind of steel has excellent hardness and toughness.
To solve the problem of internal wear and tear of machinery, as long as the design of the diesel engine is correct and only depends on the operation of the parts, I think there will be 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 and asked 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, we also need 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 trying to force students to tell the shortcomings of diesel engines.
Professor Jiang Qing has 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 can they talk nonsense."
Someone couldn't help it and immediately mocked 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 unremitting 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 people, 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 might go wrong with these machines and that people 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 stop when you leave."
Professor Jiang Qing knew that in two hours, everyone in the playground would be basically gone.
He was confident that he could keep the diesel engine running for more than two hours.
Li Dagou, the owner of the Longchang, immediately stood up and said: "Professor Jiang Qing, I am from the Longchang, and Professor Jiang can use my car for modification.
This way you don't have to worry if others say you are tampering with the car.
Everyone knows something about our Longchang.
Everyone believes that I will not act with Professor Jiang for the sake of Longchang's credibility."
As the owner of Longchang, 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.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! 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 rumored.
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 no longer needs to worry about this matter and look for a more appropriate 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 shape to the center of the playground.
When Professor Jiang Qing saw this car, he wrote and drew on white paper, and then handed a few pieces of white paper to his students, asking them to take action immediately.
The students took wrenches and other tools and began to disassemble the steam engine of the car.
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 the space is large enough 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 drove the car to start moving.
The car soon emitted black smoke and started running around the super long distance.
When we first ran the first lap, many people didn't care. They were talking about when the car would 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, there was already a problem with the car, but now it has not.
The car drove around the super long distance for half an hour, and gradually more and more people started talking.
The energy source of diesel engines is diesel. The empire has abundant oil reserves, but coal reserves are mainly concentrated in the western region.
The main coal is buried deep and is too laborious to dig out, so 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 diesel engines is even better, and it is completely a superior replacement for steam engines.
Steam engines can enhance the strength of the empire, and the emergence of stronger diesel engines will definitely take 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 possessed 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 diesel engines 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 contacted all 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 anxious because he saw the emergence of diesel engines, which might cause some turmoil to the empire.
Once the empire is stable, it will usher in great development.
As my father often said, a crisis is an opportunity within a crisis.
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 this 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 various forces, and he could learn a lot from them.
He also admired his father and established an imperial council.
These ministers are all old foxes, and their subordinates usually charge first in the court.
In the imperial meeting, they are the only ones participating and must come up with their real ideas.
