3744 Technological breakthroughs
"Who was the first European scientists to propose the theory of internal combustion engines? Who do you know?"
Xiao Letian's problem caused people around him to shake their heads. It seems that the scientific research foundation of the Chinese people is still weak. At present, they can only touch fish in the application stage. Once they reach the theoretical stage, they don't even know the most basic scientific research history.
The head of state sighed in his heart, but this cannot be expressed. After all, the Chinese people have only been established for a few years? It is impossible to expect a fat man to have a bite and a few great scientists in the theoretical field!
It is not easy to train such a group of engineers who can understand what they mean and conduct tests and processing.
"Cough cough..." Xiao Letian coughed twice, and Huang Wanxia next to him quickly brought a cup of herbal tea to the head of state.
After moistening herbal tea, Xiao Letian held the white porcelain tea cup and said calmly, "Actually, the concept of internal combustion engine was proposed by Dutch Huigens. That's a great man!"
"The famous physicist, astronomer, mathematician of the Dutchman Huigens in the 17th century... This man suddenly had inspiration while studying new artillery!"
"You said that this ** can have such great power after burning, pushing the shells to fly so far, and have such high lethality... How about this force pushing the machinery to do work?"
"If you think of him, just do it. The cylinder of the internal combustion engine we are making now... is actually the gun barrel in Huygens' eyes!"
"You convert the shells into the current pistons, think about it carefully, is this the same truth!"
"It's just that the shells fly out and don't come back, and the pistons fly out will be stuffed back by the crankshaft... They keep going back and forth, and keep doing their work!"
"Huygens' experiment was actually half successful. He did create the prototype of an internal combustion engine that relies on driving the pistons to move, but it is not practical!"
"The long gun barrel will cause too long stroke and too low thermal efficiency... The most important thing is that every time you have to rely on manpower to load, no machine can load quickly **!"
"This cannot guarantee that the internal combustion engine can provide long-lasting and fast power output!"
"Of course, this thing is too dangerous and has a relatively low thermal energy reserve, which is also a bottleneck that he cannot use!"
"It is precisely because of many shortcomings that Huygens gave up on continuing research on the internal combustion engine, but only left a bunch of data and drawings!"
"There are still many scientists who have done research in the later stages, but the unified view is that it is not feasible to use ** to provide power to the internal combustion engine!"
"That was the reason why French chemist Philip Leben used gas as fuel to conduct research on internal combustion engines... and he succeeded!"
"In 1801, the Frenchman successfully used gas and hydrogen to create a practical two-stroke internal combustion engine, and later this machine was successfully installed on a modified carriage frame!"
"There is nothing wrong with automobiles! The technological breakthrough you are making now will give birth to a brand new industry in the future, that is, the automobile industry!"
"It's a bit far away. The success of the French did not last long, and the Germans came from behind... After Philip Leben, there was a study on the four-stroke engine of the German Otto!"
"That is, the Zero machine you are building now, and its theoretical basis comes from the research of Otto, a German!"
"Because my Chinese and Prussia have a very close relationship, our technological spies have been very smooth during the search for intelligence, and even contacted Otto himself!"
"Otto himself lives in Frankfurt. I once sent someone to see him, hoping to invite him to work in the Chinese nation... Unfortunately, he couldn't bear to leave his wife and children, so he refused my employment book!"
"But before leaving, our technical spy was already very familiar with his family. Finally, he bought all the patents of Otto engines at an extremely low price of 20,000 gold marks!"
Xiao Letian stroked the large No. 0 machine in front of him and said earnestly, "I can use money and strategies to make my Chinese approach our competitors infinitely!"
"I can even make us reach the same starting line as Europe in a certain technology... This is how internal combustion engines are. Our technical spies in Europe are taking the taxes paid by the Chinese people, but they are digging for everyone new technologies!"
"And our Chinese engineers must be more successful! The starting lines are put together. Can't we still be too far away from Europe?"
"We were behind before, but I'm not saying that now I've pulled the starting line into the same. Now the engineers in Europe are also working on gas internal combustion engines. Why do you have to learn from them?"
"Can't you have a little bit of innovation, produce completely different internal combustion engines, and then completely surpass them?"
"Yuan Chao, Renyoumon... and your entire team! We must liberate our minds from today. We cannot always follow the Europeans' technological framework!"
After saying this, the personnel of the No. 0 aircraft team blushed, and even the senior military officials who visited with the head of state were a little embarrassed.
The atmosphere in the workshop suddenly became awkward!
Xiao Letian turned around the No. 0 machine in front of him for three rounds, looking around, "Don't understand what I'm saying yet? Alas... I forgot what I said as soon as I entered the workshop?"
"I said your steam engines don't burn coal, they just burn oil, it's a luxury!"
"Why should I say such things? I have already pointed out the question, but haven't I realized it?"
Hiss... Yuan Chao took a breath of air conditioning. "What the head of state means is that the real fuel of the internal combustion engine is the ones we burned as waste, light fuel?"
"Gas? Are you saying that gasoline is the most suitable fuel for internal combustion engines in the future?"
Renyoumon shook his head, "No... gasoline, diesel, kerosene and natural gas, gas have been tested, only natural gas and gas can ignite it! Nothing else can do..."
Hahaha... Xiao Letian suddenly laughed, "Why do your thinking always focus on the word "burning"? I just said that Mr. Huigens, the proposer of the internal combustion engine theory, got inspiration after studying the ** explosion!"
"Don't understand yet? Do you still understand..." Xiao Letian simply took a sip of herbal tea, but did not swallow it.
He suddenly raised his head with herbal tea in his mouth!
Puff... a mist sprayed out!
Xiao Letian's mouthful of herbal tea sprayed into the air, and the mist floated down Renyoumon and Yuan Chao!
Ah! Renyoumon suddenly roared, just like a Buddhist shout, and the dead end that had entered his mind suddenly opened!
"I understand...I understand...it's an explosion...it's an explosion!"
"Don't burn directly with gasoline... The chief of the country is the explosion of gasoline!"
Yuan Chao also jumped up excitedly, "Yes... atomized gasoline, and then sprayed it into the cylinder... to produce an explosion! What we want is the power of the explosion!"
"Oh... why is your brain so aligned? Just thinking about natural gas, gas... we can find a way to make it into gas!"
