When Peng Qinfang once again proposed that he must go back to the Special Administrative Region to work in technical work, Mao Geng was worried that he would take Lao Peng to see if he had acted in the ball burning machine today. In order to return to the Special Administrative Region, Lao Peng would not do it recklessly!

It is no longer as good as before that I can control the rhythm of farming. Since a group of people traveled through time, the rhythm has become chaotic. At this time, of course I can only grasp the main contradictions.

So, what is the key to climbing the science and technology tree in the twelfth century? Of course, the answer is power technology. The Song Dynasty needs an engine to lead the development of the times. This engine will undoubtedly be labeled as Mao Geng’s manufacturing. Originally, steam power was the focus of the plan, but now, the plan is not as good as change. Under the pressure of the group crossing incident, the power technology of the internal combustion engine has to be promoted, but it is unstoppable that it must be dominated by the internal combustion engine technology.

After the ball burning machine was successful, and the gas generation technology with a low threshold was enough for the time being. The gas ball burning machine should be able to meet the needs of tractor power and small marine power. According to Zhao Yuchun, it can even be installed on the Zhu Xi version of the "Iron Armored Chariot" as the power of the chariot. As for whether the effect is possible, Mao Geng expressed doubts, but it might be possible. In this era, the "Iron Turtle" is moving forward at a speed, so what can the Song people question!

It is undeniable that the ball burning machine is just a transitional thing after all, and the electronic ignition four-stroke gas machine is the mainstream of future development. At present, the electronic ignition project needs to be done by professionals. Li Heqin’s task is already overloaded, so he can only count on Lao Peng. It is a waste to put Lao Peng in Lin'an, and he must find a way to get him back to the Special Administrative Region.

When Lao Peng returned to the Special Administrative Region, it depends on whether Zhu Xi is very proud of her.

Speaking of Zhu Xi, the old man has been worrying about his number one key project "Iron Armored Chariot" tonight.

The first "Iron Armored Warrior" prototype was assembled a few days ago, but after the test run, the problems continued. In the afternoon, a steam pipeline burst, which led to a debate between Zhao Yuchun and Gu Yongqiang.

According to Gu Yongqiang, the power used by the first chariot should have been mature technology, and it should not have been absolutely necessary. Zhao Yuchun should not have rashly adopted immature new technology.

But Zhao Yuchun also has his own reasons. It is obvious that water pipe boilers are the development direction of steam boilers. More importantly, water pipe boilers can greatly reduce the volume and weight of the steam power part, which is extremely meaningful in any case.

Gu Yongqiang thinks this is a big/leapfrog thinking. He wants to run away without learning how to leave. As expected! You see, just because he has to put the water pipe boiler, the problem of steam leakage has not been solved. OK, steam leakage is no big deal, but is that true? Today, the pipe finally exploded.

Zhao Yuchun didn't care. He thought that any problems during the R&D process were normal. If the water pipe burst, it would be fine to replace it with another pipe. It was still no big deal. Zhao Yuchun almost said that in real history, there are many problems with the first generation of tanks!

Zhu Xi was stuck in the middle and was a little dizzy.

At the beginning, Zhu Xi agreed with Zhao Yuchun's "perfect chariot" plan. After Zhao Yuchun's vigorous rendering, the benefits of the water pipe boiler were simply scattered, with high thermal efficiency, fast start, small size and light weight. Anyway, it was not a little better than the kind of boiler that Chief Executive Mao built. Zhu Xi thought that our armored chariot would certainly use the best technology, so he agreed with it. It was not surprising at all. Of course, Zhu Xi would not understand the difficulty, "the ignorant is fearless."

Mao Geng actually opposed the water pipe boiler. However, judging by Mr. Zhu Xi's appearance, Mao Geng was not very embarrassed to attack Zhu Xi's enthusiasm. Anyway, steam power is transitional, and the power of the chariot will definitely use a four-stroke gas machine in the future.

Now it seems that it does cause unnecessary trouble to install the water pipe boiler rashly, but Zhu Xi himself also advocated the use of the water pipe boiler. At this moment, he was sulking, and summoned his disciples to teach the lesson in a secluded place:

"The way of investigating things is similar to the way of studying. You should not chew too much and not chew it. For example, as I said before, "You can only swallow it if you chew it so hard, and then you can make up for it." This is actually a lesson. As a teacher, you will also be responsible for failing to observe. You must take this as a warning."

The disciples all heard the ears of Zhu Xi’s way of studying. Zhu Xi is definitely a rigorous school of learning. For example, Zhu Xi said about studying:

"In general, you must read it carefully. After reading it carefully, you will be mature. After you are mature, you will see it yourself. Just like eating fruits, you will bite it open and eat it before you see the taste. You must chew it carefully, and then the taste will come out naturally. Only then will you know whether it is sweet, bitter, sweet, and spicy, and you will know the taste."

Zhu Xi always talks about such teachings without getting tired of it.

However, the lessons are learned, but the problem still needs to be solved. Gu Yongqiang's plan is to start over and use Mao's steam power technology, but in this way, it is obviously too late to go in time.

In order to report the performance, Zhu Xi and his disciples went to work day and night. Zhao Yuchun did not avoid the existing problems, but pointed out that if you change the plan, you cannot demonstrate the magic of the armored chariot in front of the emperor. Zhu Xi weighed it for a while and never mentioned the words of pushing it back.

Therefore, in the end, I had to repair and replace the water pipes honestly.

Zhu Xi looked at the armored chariot in front of him. In addition to the leak of steam, this prototype car had some other problems and various things that seemed to be inadequate. For example, the gas pipeline also had a bit of air leakage, and the charcoal gas generator was filled with gray smoke when it was running, etc., but it did not affect its opening.

Well, let's do it now!

It was already past nine o'clock, and changing the water pipes was not completed in a short while. At this time, Zhu Xi finally remembered that it was time for Xin Qiji to go.

Accompanied by Huang Gan, he went to the street. Then two great Song soldiers came up to investigate and asked, and there was a curfew at this moment!

Huang Gan handed over the pass signed by Zhao Han and Mao Geng. The soldier looked at Zhu Xi in disbelief. The man in front of him, who was wearing work clothes and looking like an old technician with a black face, haha, I didn't expect that Zhu Xi would be Zhu Xi!

Since it is Zhu Xi and there is a special pass, of course it is unconditional release.

When they arrived at Chen Liang's mansion, Chen Liang and Xin Qiji had almost drunkenly. Lu Jiuyuan was better. In his drunken eyes, Xin Qiji and Zhu Xi saw the greeting. When they saw a few black marks on Zhu Xi's face, Xin Qiji smiled and said:

"I didn't expect that Brother Yuan Hui was really as the legend says, he was with charcoal ash all day long! It happened that someone had also been with coal recently, haha!" Xin Qiji opened the Pingxiang Coal Mine, which was not an exaggeration.

Zhu Xi didn't care, but just smiled. Then a maid came forward and handed over a towel. Zhu Xi wiped his face casually, and finally there was no black and gray on his face, and then he officially took his seat.

Zhu Xi and Xin Qiji have never met each other, but they have letters from time to time. Today, Zhu Xi is troubled by the chariot, which makes him late. After explaining it, Xin Qiji only feels admired from the bottom of his heart, and of course there will be no dissatisfaction.

Speaking of the armored chariot, Xin Qiji immediately became concerned. Previously, Lu Jiuyuan only knew that the armored chariot was not going well, and the armored chariot was one of the highest secrets, so he deliberately avoided it and did not mention it. Now Zhu Xi took the initiative to talk about this matter, and it seemed that the armored chariot could start soon, which was definitely a great joy.

Lu Jiuyuan understood that this was for the emperor's southern tour. The purpose should be to gain the support of the court. Zhu Xi became the president of the Academy of Geology and it was said that the difference in money was very different, so he naturally had to put his ideas on the court. It seems that the emperor's southern tour would not be discussed for the rest of the time, but instead gave birth to the iron armored chariots.

In Zhu Xi's mouth, this iron-armored chariot was very powerful. No matter how bad the road was, even the fields and ordinary ditches could be moved. It was not afraid of swords, guns, arrows, or the impact of war horses. It could drive directly into the enemy formation on the battlefield. It could be called a super killer weapon that restrained the Jin soldiers.

This is really encouraging! Lu Jiuyuan had heard of it before, but it was a bit better. Xin and Chen suddenly heard that there were such magical artifacts in the world, which was very excited.

So Xin Qiji asked:

"According to Brother Yuanhui's estimates, how many iron armored chariots are required to sweep the Jin soldiers."

Zhu Xi drank two glasses a little, and then said:

"In the past, it was called a thousand chariots, which were used to boast about the power of a powerful country in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although the chariots were not this chariots, the principles were the same. With the strength of our Song Dynasty, we could have tens of thousands of chariots. He was divided into four groups of troops, and each of them was two thousand armored chariots. Four groups advanced in all directions. One iron armored chariot could compete with a hundred cavalry, and a tens of thousands of chariots could be a million strong army. I predicted here that when tens of chariots formed an army, it would be the day when the Jin soldiers were swept and restored to the Central Plains."

This was so bold that Xin Qiji heard it and quickly settled the accounts. Well, the number of "Wancheng" is not large. If you want to build a ten thousand-horse iron armored chariot, how much iron should you use!

So, Xin Qiji immediately introduced his iron smelting investment plan to Zhu Xi. Of course, even the publicly raised equity capital was listed on the SAR securities.

After hearing the introduction, Zhu Xi thought that this method of publicly raising shares was really good. Unfortunately, the armored chariot is an extremely confidential military project and cannot be listed. Otherwise, drawing a big pie and tying a large amount of money on the exchange to build 10,000 armored chariots is probably not difficult. However, although his goal is extremely sacred, it is a bit negative after all, so Zhu Xi dispelled this negative idea.

Zhu Xi didn't know that if Lao Qiu and other later generations explained it, they would fool him, national unification is the greatest bonus, and so on.

Going far off the topic, Zhu Xi believes that in any case, in order to build ten thousand chariots, Xin Qiji's investment in iron smelting should of course be supported.

Zhu Xi immediately stated that the iron plant should be launched as fast as possible, because the iron-armored chariot is indeed a large iron-consuming enterprise. The lightest iron-armored chariot will consume at least three tons of iron. The planned medium-sized chariot is said to consume ten tons of iron. As for the heavy chariot, Zhao Yuchun revealed the data of more than twenty tons. Although the weight of the heavy chariot is unreasonable, let's just listen to it for the time being. Zhu Xi calculated the accounts in his mind that building a ten-car combat vehicle would require at least one hundred thousand tons of iron, and it would have to be good iron, and the key part would have to be fine steel. From this, it can be seen that the Song Dynasty should rapidly expand the steel production capacity, which is undoubtedly.

It is impossible not to say that the first meeting between Zhu and Xin has reached an astonishing consensus. Xin Qiji unconditionally supports Zhu Xi in building a large-scale iron armored chariot, and Zhu Xi also supports Xin Qiji's iron factory investment plan without reservation. The two had previously been sympathetic, but now they hit it off.

That night, Zhu Xi, Xin Qiji, Lu Jiuyuan and Chen Liang had a happy host.
Chapter completed!
