Just after arriving in Quancheng County, the telegraph operator accompanying Li Zhen's army received the news.
"Report, Master Li, there is a telegram from the Kyushu Academy of Sciences."
After Li Zhen's last invasion of Zhongzhou, the Kyushu Academy of Sciences has developed the telegraph technology to a relatively mature level during this period. Sometimes it will still be unstable, but if you send it a few times, you can achieve the function of communicating with each other.
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows with interest: "Oh? Read it."
"Telegram from the Kyushu Academy of Sciences: Master Li, all problems with the gasoline internal combustion engine have been solved. After testing, the situation is stable. Special telegram, hoping to apply for 10 million yuan in funding to develop mass production technology."
Li Zhen stood up suddenly: "Is the internal combustion engine done?"
Liu Jinghong and others came up and looked at each other in shock. How many days has it been
Is this stable
By the time they left, the Institute of Motor Vehicles had already understood the detailed principles of internal combustion engines, but was stuck on the manufacturing process of spark plugs and the technology of DC ignition systems. Unexpectedly, after just walking for a long time, the internal combustion engine has already been completed
Liu Jinghong slapped his thigh in surprise: "Ah hahahaha, does that mean that our aviation institute's airship will be able to fly into the sky soon?"
Xu Xiufeng pursed his lips excitedly and quickly told the operator: "Hurry, call back quickly."
The telegraph operator took out a pen and paper: "Vice President Xu, please speak."
Xu Xiufeng thought for a while and said: "Come on, Aviation Academy. Immediately apply to the Motor Vehicle Academy for an internal combustion engine for aviation experiments. You will immediately build the airship skeleton and calculate the detailed load data. I hope to see you when I return to Kyushu. There are airships roaring in the sky over Mount Laoshan."
The telegraph operator said awkwardly: "It's a bit long..."
Xu Xiufeng urged impatiently: "That's what it means anyway. You can delete it as appropriate."
"good."
"etc."
Liu Jinghong stopped the operator and muttered in embarrassment: "No way. The Aeronautical Institute has just developed an internal combustion engine. It should be just a few samples, right? It may not be approved by our Aviation Institute."
Xu Xiufeng was also confused: "Yeah, I ignored this problem. The Motor Vehicle Institute is leaderless now. We have both come to Quancheng County. Ordinary students will definitely not be able to apply for the use of internal combustion engines."
Liu Jinghong chuckled and said, "Take back Vice President Xu's telegram. But, I'll take another telegram."
The telegraph operator sat down speechlessly: "Dean Liu, please speak."
"Here, Ma Jianbin. My name is Liu. I hope Ma can handle it as appropriate and contribute to the overall progress of science."
"Gone?"
"No more. Go ahead."
“…”
Xu Xiufeng looked at Liu Jinghong and said: "What do you mean by this? It's not painful or itchy, you should ask him. Ma Jianbin is a newcomer, so he must sell our face."
Liu Jinghong shook his head: "That's enough for me. I said that science must develop as a whole. If Ma Jianbin dares to jam our experimental internal combustion engine, then he will be the sinner who delays the overall scientific progress."
"Um... Will Ma Jianbin do this?"
"Haha, Ma Jianbin is eager for quick success. He really lacks a chance to prove himself. And he is also afraid of others making irresponsible remarks. Hehe, let's directly apply for an internal combustion engine without even needing to owe any favors."
"You are still shameless,"
“…”
Seeing a few people fighting, Li Zhen didn't stop them.
Nowadays, all the academies are competing with each other, and Li Zhen is happy to see the intrigues between the academies.
Only by fighting can progress be achieved.
The telegraph operator asked Li Zhen if he had anything to say, and Li Zhen only replied with a few words: "I want to see the real thing."
“…”
The appearance of the internal combustion engine lifted the spirits of everyone who had just arrived in Quancheng County.
Some people didn’t know what an internal combustion engine was. After asking about it, they couldn’t help but laugh: “Isn’t it the same as a steam engine?”
"I thought it was something special."
"What's the use of that? You still have to burn gasoline. Gasoline is a strategic reserve and ordinary people can't buy it."
"Since Ge Qingping restored the method of refining oil, gasoline has become a strategic reserve. Gasoline is used in fire attacks during wars. Where can ordinary people get this stuff? It's useless."
"Why can't ordinary people do it? It's just a matter of using some tricks."
"Bah, if I had that time, my steam car that was always burning firewood would have traveled thousands of kilometers."
"that's true."
“…”
Xingtu Company rolled out the steam car and officially distributed the goods throughout Kyushu.
Nowadays, the most popular thing in Kyushu is the steam cars that fill the streets. Steam cars have become a fashion demand and a transportation demand. But it cannot replace the horse-drawn carriage for the time being.
Some wealthy businessmen would use steam cars to travel long distances to show off their wealth. But often, this steam car will be followed by several carriages. The horse-drawn carriage is specially responsible for hauling coal and firewood.
This is a strange and strange phenomenon.
Since you use a steam vehicle, you have to follow a large team of horses to pull fuel. Then why not just use a carriage
No. This is the trend.
Rich businessmen are also very economical. Usually when no one is around, I go out into the wilderness to burn firewood and burn rotten leaves and dead branches.
As soon as they entered the city, they immediately started burning coal.
If you burn firewood in the city, others will laugh at you for being poor. So it's such a strange phenomenon. As a result, coal prices across Kyushu have skyrocketed. The common people can no longer afford to burn coal.
In fact, there are not much coal reserves in Kyushu now, and almost all of them were mined in ancient times.
'Woooooo'
The roar of the steam locomotive sounded.
The entire Quancheng County became solemn.
Now the entire Quancheng County has banned ordinary people from walking around. Once the sound of steam trains is heard, they must be coming from other places to participate in the Kyushu Party Building Conference.
Feng Naien got up as soon as he woke up, quickly got in the car and went to the city gate to greet him in person.
In the distance, there is a fleet of steam vehicles of the Ma Group. Those who came were not just one or two, but a group.
The local people of Quancheng County stood along both sides of the street and gave a solemn welcome.
"Ge Qingping."
"Is that Ge Qingping?"
"Chilie Huowang, the chemist who won the Kyushu Science Award last year, said he created a new method of making alkali."
"Wow, they're all scientists."
"That one should be the richest man in Zhongzhou, right?"
"What does the richest man in Zhongzhou mean? There is no shortage of people of that level in Dongzhou now. If you have the ability to be the richest man in Dongzhou."
"What you said makes Ma Fei dare not say that he is the richest man in Dongzhou."
"Um... Huh? Isn't it Jiang Tianqi, the emperor of Xinyuan Kingdom?"
"Isn't Jiang Tianqi originally under house arrest in Quancheng County?"
"No, we were released two days ago. Jiang Tianqi is also a guest now. He just re-entered the city and went through the motions."
"This is all a person who stomps his feet and shakes Dongzhou three times."
"There will be a general meeting the day after tomorrow. I am afraid that everyone who is supposed to come will have to come today, right?"
“…”
As groups of carriages entered the city, there was also a scene of solemn killing outside the gate of Quancheng County.
