"How is it? What have you gained?" Yang Heng gave everyone not much time to be familiar with the performance of the ship. Each group of people only gave one month, and he sent two batches of technicians in total, that is, two months.

"Our boss, over the past period of time, we have learned some knowledge about ships from the shipbuilding masters. Whether it is a big ship or a small boat, they have explained it to us in detail, and there is a prototype of the manufacturing of marine steam engines in our hearts."

Although the working principle of the steam engine is the same, the structure of the steam engine used on various ships is still different in order to match the use of the ship, and even the power output method is different.

After simple coordination, the technicians finally divided the work. Some of them were technicians of small marine steam engines to research, some were technicians of medium marine steam engines to research, and the last part was technicians of large marine steam engines to carry out technical research.

Here, a small marine steam engine is the most complex type of steam engine. Even compared with some automobile steam engines, you should know that there are many types, from the simplest single-cylinder to the most complex fast marine steam engine. The so-called fast ship, which is a speedboat that Yang Heng planned to develop, I don’t know if this idea can be realized. You should know that this is a steam engine, not an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine only needs to use a fuel tank to hold fuel, but the steam engine needs to burn coal.

Yang Heng just gave an opinion on these steam engines. Yang Heng really couldn't understand what the specific situation was. So, in the future, everything will be developed and produced by these technicians themselves. Of course, Yang Heng will also provide some suggestions. However, these suggestions are no longer really useful suggestions, that is, these technicians can also adopt Yang Heng's suggestions or not. This mainly depends on whether his suggestions are useful or not.

The most difficult one here is the steam engine required by the speedboat that Yang Heng asked for. Yang Heng gave the advice: whether the coal can be ground into powder, then sealed in a sealed box, and then sprayed the coal powder into the boiler in the form of spraying. Even the capacity of the boiler must be greatly reduced instead of reducing according to the proportion, but the pressure will increase. Moreover, the steam opportunity becomes a high-speed single-cylinder steam engine.

"Our boss, I think my project should be merged with these small marine steam engine projects, because I found that our research is a bit repetitive and it is a waste of resources, so I think it should be merged for development."

After a period of development, Lao Zhang put forward a new suggestion, because during the development process, the processing of some parts still needs to be processed at the processing workshop of the power branch. Often, Lao Zhang would encounter something that was not much different from the parts they made. In this way, Lao Zhang went to learn about them in the development of this small steam engine.

You should know that these tasks are kept confidential to the outside world, but for these developers, Yang Heng still encouraged them to learn from each other, so this scene happened.

This, Lao Zhang suddenly discovered that the small steam engine they developed actually had a model that was not much different from the model of the steam engine he developed, so he had this idea.

"Well, this may work. In this way, some components will become universal. Especially in the future, in automobile manufacturing, more than just one model of cars can be made. Maybe some heavy-duty cars can be developed together. And are these cars just right with these small marine steam engines? If gasoline comes out in the future, these small steam engines can be directly replaced with internal combustion engines for use. In this way, whether it is a car or a small ship, there will be a series of models, and there will be no faults. It can be directly changed from steam power to internal combustion engine power."

Indeed, as these small steam engines, Yang Heng was a little hesitant in his heart. Whether it was necessary or not needed to be developed? You must know that he had never seen an introduction to this aspect in his previous life. The only introduction, that is, some cars, and they all seemed to be a flash in the pan. However, Yang Heng was not sure whether the memory was accurate or inaccurate.

You should know that in his previous life, Yang Heng didn’t care about everything, especially the history of some things, which he didn’t want to know the least. But now, what Yang Heng lacked is these things. If he knew the development of every technological event in his previous life, it would be of great help to his time travel life. But he would know whether he wanted to travel through time, so he would naturally not know. If he did not travel through time, those so-called developments are really not useful things, they are just history.

"Sure, I promise you this, but the marine driver is different from the vehicle driver. You still need to develop this separately, do you understand?"

"Yes, boss, I understand this. I have basically understood the general structural drawings of the car you gave me. I just think that the power part should be universal, and naturally, the driving part is still different."

So, a brand new department emerged, namely the Institute of Steam Power Machinery for Small Marine and Land Vehicles, which was officially established, and the corresponding one was the Institute of Medium Marine Power Machinery and the Institute of Large Marine Steam Engines, which were also established one after another after a period of development. But why are there power research institutes and steam engines research institutes?

Because, in Yang Heng's memory, in his previous life, some large ships used steam engines as power in the end. The greater the power of this steam engine, the stronger its ability. Although some are no longer piston steam engines, but steam turbines are also steam engines. However, in a short time, Yang Heng will no longer assign tasks to them, because this thing is more strict with the material needs. Therefore, this kind of steam turbine will not become Yang Heng's dish, although this steam turbine will also become fuel-based steam

Turbines will become the power system of some high-speed aircraft, but airplanes are the simplest aircraft. Yang Heng did not have any idea in his mind. As an air thing, the next plan is already there, which is an inflatable airship. Now, Yang Heng’s academy laboratory is developing gases that replace hydrogen. When will it be successfully developed? It is still a question? Now, hot air balloons are already enough, so Yang Heng is not in a hurry. What he is anxious about now is inland shipping and train transportation. The next plan may be about sea transportation.

As a ship-mounted product, Yang Heng did not forget the most important thing, but he didn't understand it, so he had to leave it to the shipyard to develop it himself. He couldn't get it at all. Similarly, he just provided some suggestions. What is this, namely sails, spinnakers, and various sails. You must know that sails are irreplaceable for long-distance sailing, especially during sea adventures, when the fuel is used up, you must count on the use of the sails.

However, there is no rush. At least, Yang Heng has not thought of the plan at sea yet. At least, when the railway is built to the beach, he may apply to Li Er to leave Chang'an and build a seaship manufacturer at the beach. Moreover, the railway from the beach is now in exploration. Yes, it is just that during exploration. Yang Heng has no specific plan. The main reason is that this line is not very important to Li Er, so this is also the next plan and is not in a hurry. However, the steam engine for ships still needs to be developed. It is possible to build some small pointed-bottomed boats suitable for sea use in his shipyard, so that the technicians can amplify the steam engine accordingly based on the ship, calculate it, and then enter practicality.
