Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1075

Chang Yuzhu walked through the fiery city of Jakarta almost without being mad.

Now the entire Jakarta city is full of burning buildings. The captured Dutch soldiers pointed out the important buildings in the city one by one. Without exception, these buildings were all burning in flames.

“This group of bastards!” Chang Yuzhu said angrily: “Go and inform the fleet to go to Boer City. These Dutchmen must not be allowed to escape from Boer City to Kolkata.”

got the order, the messenger rushed to the coast, and on the coast he used semaphores to tell thunder about the situation in the city.

“Strong walls and clear fields, these Europeans are still a little capable.” After reading the meaning of semaphore, Yue Yun said with a calm face.

Thunder’s face is quite ugly. According to the empire’s reward system for foreign warfare, trophies are a very important indicator.

Now they get a burnt and messy city, they have suffered a big loss.

Although this offense was as successful as before, the number of soldiers they lost in previous battles has increased by multiples.

The deep trench still provided a lot of protection for the Dutch soldiers.

“Thousands of casualties, the soldiers can’t even divide a copper plate, I, the commander, will be in vain, General Yue, please be sure to lead us to Boer city in advance, I must not let this group of **** go.” Lei Ming said. .

Although he is used to seeing deaths on the battlefield, so many casualties make him really uncomfortable. Now he is only fighting with 20,000 Dutch people and miscellaneous natives. If he faces the battlefield of Calcutta, the number of casualties may even be upturned.

Yue Yun could feel the thunderous anger, obviously the Dutch angered him.

“There is no problem. I can definitely follow them to Boer City at the speed of an iron armored ship.” Yue Yun said.

Boer City is a straight line distance for the Dutch army on land, but for the navy, they need to make a big bend to reach it. After all, the coastline is not straight. If it is the speed of a sailing warship, they may not be able to reach it in advance.

But under the full sail of the ironclad ship, it will definitely be able to complete this task.

“Thank you.” Thunder said through gritted teeth.

Qingzhou.

After the hand-cranked telephone was officially connected, the Telecommunications Department began to install telephones for the official offices of the imperial palace and the outer palace in Qingzhou.

According to the cabinet’s request, Qingzhou had to realize telephone communication between various departments of the imperial court to improve the efficiency of government affairs.

While the telephone has made significant progress, Lin Wentaos Institute of Mechanical Engineering also received good news.

“My lord, this is the first prototype car we built with an internal combustion engine.”

Lin Wentao in Machinery Factory pointed to the classic car in front of him with excitement. Since the internal combustion engine technology has matured, they have launched various applications of internal combustion engines.

In addition to the diesel engine used for drilling, they have put the internal combustion engine in the research of sports machinery on the agenda in accordance with the requirements of the five-year plan.

So they first set their sights on the animal harvesters being used by the empire. According to the institutional drawings, they gave these agricultural machinery the heart of an internal combustion engine.

After the application of the harvester was expanded, they built a manned car based on the drawings provided by Xiao Ming. This is the classic car in front of them.

Xiao Ming walked to the classic car. The shape of this classic car was basically similar to the first-generation European car in the 19th century.

Its not that he doesnt understand more perfect shapes, but in terms of current industrial technology, Qingzhous industry is still unable to produce car shells with modern craftsmanship.

Therefore, he still used the old-fashioned Beetle shell honestly.

“How fast can this car reach?” Xiao Ming asked slightly excitedly. After so many years, he finally ushered in the embarrassment of riding a carriage without riding a horse.

On the other hand, with a car, his safety when going out will also be greatly improved.

“Back to the emperor, the speed of this car reached 60 kilometers per hour.” Lin Wentao said.

“Sixty kilometers?” Xiao Ming showed a thick smile on his face. He was already satisfied with this speed. After all, the world’s first car was only one hour and 15 kilometers per hour.

But the difference is that Xiao Ming gave Lin Wentao mature internal combustion engine technology and used purified gasoline, so this car broke the first car in all aspects, reaching the level of an improved car.

Qian Dafu smiled and said, “At a speed of 60 per hour, wouldn’t it be possible to run more than a thousand kilometers on this day?”

“This is natural, but you need to bring enough fuel. At present, the empire may not be able to luxuriously use gasoline in this way.” Lin Wentao said with regret.

So far, the drilling of oil wells has not made any progress, and the difficulty of drilling has exceeded all expectations.

There is no oil field, which means that cars are manufactured in a fake handle style. This is why Lin Wentao sighed.

Xiao Ming naturally understood what Lin Wentao meant. He still overestimated the current technical level of the empire, and the Daqing Oilfield was already difficult to exploit. It is normal that no progress has been made for such a long time.

According to records, Japan also tried to find the Daqing oil field during World War II, but the drilling stopped at about 800 meters, because Japan did not have the technology to drill deeper rock layers.

The real depth of the Daqing Oilfield is about 1,300, so the success of oil production is essentially drilling technology.

The root of the drilling technology is the problem of the drill bit. Now with the diesel engine, the power is solved, and the strength of the drill bit must be the problem if it cannot reach such a deep rock layer.

After all, drilling an oil well requires a special oil drill bit. UU reading www.uukanshu.com can give a bit design drawing, but the material problem still needs many experiments.

So he is a little helpless about the current problem, because now no one can be sure when the oil field can be successfully exploited.

If the oil field cannot be used due to technical problems, he can only find a way from overseas. After all, his drilling technology cannot conquer Daqing, which is a kilometer deep, but it is still very simple to mine oil wells in the Middle East.

The most important thing is that after mastering mature ironclad technology, the cost of shipping is greatly reduced. It is not very far from the Middle East to the empire at the speed of ironclad ships, and the cost of transporting oil is very low.

“The empire is currently fighting in the South Seas. If it goes well, the route to Persia and the Ottoman Empire will be completely opened up. At that time, the empire can establish diplomatic relations with Persia and the Ottoman Empire and buy their oil at a low price. The machine can run.” Xiao Ming said, and at the same time he became more and more determined to monopolize oil.

The feeling of oil deprivation is really uncomfortable, and besides Persia and Ottoman, he has to completely occupy Siberia, after all, there is also a big oil field there. )!!
