Chapter 1552 Internal Combustion Engine Locomotives
War is always the biggest driving force to promote scientific and technological progress and industrial development, Qu Mao firmly believes in this.
Qu Mao inspected the production of new military industrial enterprises in the Holy Land of Emperor Yi and various parts of the Eastern Continent, and found that the entire new military industrial chain was in motion, and there was a strong sense of imminent war.
This tense atmosphere is no less than the tense atmosphere before the Yi Emperor's territory was about to welcome all the aboriginal forces and God's Chosen player lord forces in the mainland to besiege the collective siege more than ten years ago.
Qu Mao came back from wandering outside for more than a month, and heard that the Outlying Islands Power Research Institute had made progress on internal combustion engine locomotives.
After hearing the news, Qu Mao was very excited. Still because of the preparation for the war, the application of internal combustion engines to trains has made substantial progress.
At the beginning of November in the 19th year of Tianxuan, when Qu Mao held the military industry chain planning meeting, he had already heard of such an attempt by the Lidao Power Research Institute. At that time, Qu Mao specifically asked Kong Ming to intervene and guide Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng to speed up research and development. speed.
In Qu Mao's view, using an internal combustion engine as the power of a train locomotive should not be a very complicated matter in terms of technology. After all, all the locomotives in Yidi's territory are currently powered by steam engines. The steam engine has the same structure as the current internal combustion engine. Almost the same.
On February 14th, the 20th year of Tianxuan, good news reached Qu Mao: the experiment of applying the internal combustion engine to the locomotive of the Outlying Island Power Research Institute has made key progress. The running test has been carried out, and the requirements can basically be met.
Qu Mao immediately rushed to the Outlying Island Power Research Institute. At present, all the steam trains in Yidi's territory have a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour. Counting the time consumption of constantly stopping at stations to replenish water and fuel, starting and braking, Yidi The average speed of the territorial train can reach 30 kilometers per hour at most.
Bi Sheng, Yan Qisheng and their team have developed an internal-combustion engine locomotive this time. At least once supplemented, the battery life will be longer for a long time, but the time saved in starting and braking cannot be underestimated, let alone the internal-combustion engine locomotive. Greater pull.
If the prototype can be quickly mass-produced and the steam locomotives of the past can be quickly replaced, Qu Mao believes that the railway traffic conditions in Yidi's territory can be quickly improved, and the traffic efficiency can be doubled.
In addition, the efficiency of transportation will also be increased many times due to the greater pulling force of the internal combustion engine locomotive. This is the biggest good news for war preparations since the territory of Yidi began to actively prepare for war.
In the Outlying Island Power Research Institute, Qu Mao climbed on the prototype of the internal combustion engine locomotive, and ran on the experimental rail track with a total length of about 300 meters in the Outlying Island Power Research Institute. , Said: "I told Kong Ming: Our internal combustion engine can be applied to ironclad ships, and there is no reason why it cannot be applied to train locomotives.
Originally replacing the steam engine with an internal combustion engine, there is no technical difficulty.
Now you should hurry up and contact Mengde and Xuande to arrange production capacity as soon as possible, produce internal combustion engine locomotives at the fastest speed, and quickly equip them.
The equipment of the steam locomotive factory can be used to produce internal combustion engine locomotives first, and the internal combustion engine locomotive factory can be built at the same time, giving priority to replacing all the train locomotives on the underground railways from the Holy Land to the Western Continent, Southern Continent, Northern Continent, and Central Continent. Support the upcoming operations in those four branch territories. "
Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and said, "My lord, this time I can breathe a sigh of relief. With the internal combustion engine locomotive, my subordinates estimate that the time we need to travel to the four continents will be shortened to two days and one night or two nights and one day. half the time.
In this way, we have at least doubled the logistical supply efficiency of the four branch territories, and provided more than double the winning rate for the four branch territories to defeat the local forces on each continent. "
Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng looked excited, Bi Sheng said: "Thank you for your trust and cultivation, we will continue to work hard."
Qu Mao continued: "Your classmates Nanli and Mu Degui on Liandao have been studying the steel battlefield for nearly 10 years, but there is still no progress. You need to help them when the time is right.
I think that after the internal combustion engine is built, the progress of their project should be much faster.
By the way, the two of you are already scientific research talents at the top of the Holy Land of Yidi Territory. There is no need to continue to develop together. You can divide the current project into one, form two scientific research teams, and go to different places to work on branches with different directions. Same technology research.
In this way, it is beneficial to your growth, to the growth of your team, and to the development of scientific research in Yidi Territory.
and other steel chariot projects are successful, Nanli and Mu Degui have to do the same. "
Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng glanced at each other, and Yan Qisheng said: "My lord, my subordinates, Bi Sheng, and Nanli, Mu Degui and their team have also fully communicated and communicated many times. The current problem of the Iron Chariot is nothing more than It is the miniaturization and convenience of the internal combustion engine, and of course the power transmission of the internal combustion engine to the wheels of the steel chariot.
Actually, Nanli and Mu Degui are not completely without progress. They have also made great achievements in wingsuit flight and controllable hot air balloon.
Now they are making a prototype of the airship. Once the airship is ready, the soldiers can drive the airship to the sky above the enemy's position and drop bombs directly from the enemy's head for precise strikes. It is also of great significance to the war..."
Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, and muttered to himself: "Damn it! Did you get the air force out so quickly?"
Kong Ming waved his goose feather fan and asked, "My lord, what is the Air Force?"
Qu Mao said: "The army that flies in the sky is called the air force.
There are many other worlds, but there is no such thing as yet in the Continent of Hegemony.
Even if the airship is used to go to the sky, it is still the air force, although it is off the track.
No way, Kong Ming, you continue to urge the transformation of internal combustion engine locomotives into mass production, and ask Xuande and Meng De to work together to complete the replacement of train locomotives as quickly as possible.
I still have to take time to go to Liandao to see the airships of Nanli and Mu Degui. I can’t run too far. The sudden appearance of this thing on the battlefield will definitely shock all the enemies. "
Kong Ming shook his feather fan and said, "My lord, the matter of arranging the production of internal combustion engine locomotives can be clearly explained in the magic communication crystal. I will go to Liandao with you to open my eyes."
Qu Mao pulled Kong Ming and rushed towards Liandao non-stop.
