Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1076
“It’s great. As long as there is oil, all kinds of machines equipped with internal combustion engines can be moved. Moreover, according to the official, Lu Tong said that he also got a thing called asphalt from oil. With this thing, it can be built even more. Is it a smooth road?”
Lin Wentao was dancing with excitement. For him, oil had always been a hurdle in his heart. Now Xiao Ming’s words finally gave him hope.
Xiao Ming has a faint smile on his face. There is no doubt that the petroleum industry is an important threshold for a country to move towards a modern chemical industry.
Only after the establishment of the petroleum industry did the internal combustion engine exert its true value. Later, machinery with various functions could further promote the development of the industry.
“I will solve the oil problem. The most important thing for you now is to apply the internal combustion engine to all kinds of machinery, such as all kinds of construction machinery, road rollers, cranes, and excavators.” Xiao Ming said seriously.
In fact, in contemporary history, the steam excavator was invented by the Americans in 1836, but the efficiency of the steam-powered excavator was too low.
Therefore, Xiao Ming does not waste time on steam machinery, and directly puts the excavator on the internal combustion engine, so that such excavators can perform their real functions in large-scale projects.
After a pause, he went on to say: “In addition to such small passenger cars, you must also work **** large transportation vehicles to improve the domestic transportation level as soon as possible.”
“Yes, the emperor, the next official remembered.” Lin Wentao said sternly. Although the internal combustion engine has been successfully applied, his task is still very heavy and he cannot relax now.
emphasized the task of the machinery factory. Xiao Ming rubbed his hands. He said, “Since this car can run normally, let me try my hands soon.”
“Emperor, this is no problem. The lower officials have driven this car many times, and there is absolutely no problem with safety.” Lin Wentao said, patting his chest.
Qian Dafu was a little worried when he heard that, “The emperor, this kind of risky move is not necessary. The speed of 60 kilometers per hour is not low. If the vehicle cannot be controlled, it will be very dangerous. After all, the situation is special now…”
Xiao Ming’s eyes were gloomy. Qian Dafu knew what Qian Dafu meant. The last time he took a mortar at the military factory, he was scared to death.
This incident was discovered by the Queen Mother and the Queen that Qian Dafu was reprimanded by a meal, so Qian Dafu is now cautious everywhere.
Because according to the current situation, if Xiao Ming has any accident, the empire will soon fall apart.
Looking at the classic car in front of him, Xiao Ming sighed slightly, and said, “No, let the technicians perform.”
Lin Wentao also recovered. Now there are many rumors in Qingzhou, and he has also heard some.
called a driver over, and he said, “Get out of the car and show it to the emperor.”
In response, the technician entered the car and turned the key to start the car. At the same time, Lin Wentao explained: “The emperor, this car uses electric spark ignition, as long as the key is turned slightly, the car can be started.”
Xiao Ming nodded. In the 19th century, the method of electric spark ignition was not uncommon. Since electricity was popularized in Qingzhou, methods of using electricity have also been developed. Now Qingzhou researchers are mixing various technologies. Together, for example, the next generation of ironclad ships will have radios to communicate with each other.
Everyone arrived at the door, and the technician manipulated the car to speed up on the road outside the machine. In a short moment, the car ran around the machine factory.
Xiao Ming nodded frequently when he saw it. The speed of 60 kilometers per hour can be said to be the speed of a turtle compared to modern times, but the empire of the eighteenth century can be said to be earth-shattering.
If this classic car is officially sold, the empires transportation mode will undergo a historic change.
“The emperor, the technicians of the machinery factory have discussed naming the first car as Chitu. I wonder if the emperor is satisfied?”
” There is nothing wrong with Lu Bu in Renzhong and Chitu in Mazhong. In that case, we will continue this Chitu as a brand. “Xiao Ming’s mouth has a smile.
From then on, the Chinese Empire will have the world’s first car brand, and this car brand will also be destined to be famous all over the world.
“Kaz!”
When the two of them were chatting, the Chitu car stopped steadily in front of them, showing its excellent performance.
“Is the emperor still satisfied?” Lin Wentao was confident.
Xiao Ming nodded slightly. He said, “I now formally place an order for 300 Chitu cars from the machinery factory.”
Lin Wentao laughed so hard that he couldn’t see his teeth. Although the machinery factory was run by the government, the court still had to pay for orders.
So, it means that they have got a large order. With this capital, they can do more.
Watching the first car in the empire, Xiao Ming and Qian Dafu left the machinery factory under the protection of the guards and returned to the palace. He immediately called Cui Shangan and asked him to supervise the war in Nanyang.
The oil collected by the empire is only enough for experimental use. His 300 cars must rely on overseas oil to run. Then it is very important to open routes to Persia and Ottoman. He does not want to wait too long on this issue…
Boer City.
After a day and night of sailing, the Qingzhou Fleet was loaded with angry soldiers from the Southeast Army to this small Dutch city on the coast.
Compared to the magnificence of Jakarta, Boer City seems inconspicuous, but here is a trading node for the Dutch spice that controls Indonesia. Therefore, there are a lot of Dutch merchant ships here, but because of the war, there is no previous prosperity here. , Looks deserted and lonely.
“According to the information provided by the Nanyang Chinese, there are 300 Dutch soldiers stationed here, and it is easy to seize this place.” Yue Yun said to Lei Ming.
nodded ~~ Lei Ming said, “Even if I am stationed with three thousand people, I have to take it down and wait for the **** in Jagda to arrive.”
After all, he yelled: “Land and occupy Boer City.”
His voice fell. Two thousand soldiers boarded troop carriers to the shore. In order to defend against danger, machine gunners are now lying in front of every troop carrier. Once the enemy is found, the machine gun will shoot the enemy mercilessly.
Like the information provided by Yue Yun, when the imperial soldiers approached the coast, some sporadic gunshots sounded, and the imperial soldiers immediately responded with machine guns.
Under the fierce firepower, the Dutch soldiers hiding behind the barriers of the dock could not resist at all, and the empire occupied the small city in only half an hour.
“Yue Yun, we will stop here for the time being. After you sweep away the enemy warships on the route, we will go to Kolkata together.” Lei Ming said that his early mission was to capture Jakarta and cut off the European coalition’s supply points in Asia.
Yue Yun is just cooperating with him, and Yue Yun’s real task is to cut off the sea transportation line of the European coalition forces and isolate the European coalition forces in Kolkata. ) Download the free reader!!
