"Great. As long as there is oil, all kinds of machines equipped with internal combustion engines can move. And the lower official heard Lu Tong say that he got something called asphalt from oil, which can build a smoother road. Is that right?"
Lin Wentao dances excitedly. For him, oil has always been a barrier in his heart. Now Xiao Ming's words finally give him hope.
Xiao Ming has a faint smile on his face. There is no doubt that the oil industry is an important threshold for a country to move towards modern industry.
After the establishment of the petroleum industry, internal combustion engine can play its real value, and then, various functions of machinery can further promote the development of industry.
"I will solve the problem of petroleum. The most important thing for you now is to apply internal combustion engine to all kinds of machinery, such as construction machinery, road roller, crane and excavator." 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 is too low.
So Xiao Ming doesn't waste time on steam machinery directly, but let excavators use internal combustion engines directly. In this way, such excavators can play their real role in large-scale projects.
After a pause, he went on to say, "in addition to this kind of small passenger car, you should also work hard on large transport vehicles and strive to improve the domestic transport level as soon as possible. "
" yes, emperor, I remember. "Lin Wentao said that although the internal combustion engine has been successfully applied, his task is still very heavy, and now he can't relax.
Emphasizing the task of the machinery factory, Xiao Ming rubbed his hands and said, "since the car can run normally, let me have a try today."
"Emperor, this is no problem. I've driven this car many times. There's absolutely no problem with safety." Lin Wentao patted his chest and said.
Hearing this, Qian Dafu was worried. "Emperor, you'd better not take this kind of risky action. The speed of 60 kilometers per hour is not low. If you can't control the vehicle, it will be very dangerous. After all, the situation is special now..."
Xiao Ming's eyes darkened. Qian Dafu understood what he meant. The last time he took mortar shells in the military factory, he scared him to death.
After the Empress Dowager and the queen knew about this, Qian Dafu was reprimanded, so now Qian Dafu is very careful.
Because according to the current situation, if Xiao Ming had any accident, the Empire would soon fall apart.
Looking at the old car in front of him, Xiao Ming sighed and said, "just let the technicians perform. "
Lin Wentao came back to himself. Now there are many rumors in Qingzhou, and he has heard some of them.
Call over a driver, he said: "drive the car out to show the emperor."
At the same time, Lin Wentao explained: "emperor, this car uses electric spark ignition. As long as the key is turned slightly, it can start the car. "
Xiao Ming nodded. In the 19th century, the way of sparking was not uncommon. Since the popularity of electricity in Qingzhou, the method of using electricity has also been developed. Now Qingzhou's scientific researchers are mixing all kinds of technologies together. For example, the next generation of armored ships will have radios for mutual communication.
When they got to the door, the technicians manipulated the car to gallop on the road outside the machinery. In a short moment, the car ran around the machinery factory.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming nodded frequently. The speed of 60 kilometers per hour is relatively modern, which can be said to be tortoise speed. However, the Empire of the 18th century is astonishing.
If this kind of old car is officially sold, the transportation mode of the Empire will have a historic change.
"Emperor, the technicians of the machinery factory have discussed to name the first car as the red rabbit. I wonder if the emperor is satisfied?"
”There is nothing wrong with Lu Bu among people and red rabbit among horses. In this case, we will continue to take this red rabbit as a brand. "Xiao Ming has a smile on his lips.
From then on, the Chinese Empire will have the first automobile brand in the world, and this automobile brand will be destined to be famous in the world.
"Katz!"
While they were chatting, the red rabbit car stopped steadily in front of them, showing its excellent performance.
"Is the emperor satisfied?" Lin Wentao is full of confidence.
Xiao Ming nodded slightly, he said: "I now officially order 300 red rabbit brand cars from the machinery factory."
Lin Wentao couldn't see his teeth with a smile. Although the machinery factory was run by the government, the orders from the imperial court still had to be paid.
So, it's like they get a big order, and with that money, they can do more.
After watching the first car of the Empire, Xiao Ming and Qian Dafu leave the machinery factory under the protection of the imperial guards and return to the palace. He immediately calls Cui Shangan and asks him to supervise the war in Nanyang.
Now the oil collected by the empire is only enough for experiments. If his 300 cars want to run, they have to rely on overseas oil, so it is very important to get through the routes to Persia and Osman. He doesn't want to wait too long on this issueBull city.
After a day and night of sailing, Qingzhou fleet full of angry southeast Army soldiers came to this small Dutch city on the coast.
Compared with the majestic city of Jakarta, bur city is insignificant, but it is a trade node of spices controlled by the Netherlands in Indonesia. Therefore, there are a lot of Dutch merchant ships coming and going here. It is only because of the war that there is no prosperity in the past and it is lonely.
"According to the information provided by the Nanyang Chinese, there are 300 Dutch soldiers stationed here, so it's easy to take over here." Yue Yun said to Lei Ming.
Nodded, thunder said: "even if there are 3000 garrisons, I have to take them down and wait for the arrival of yagda's bastards."
After that, he called out, "land, take bull."
His voice fell. Two thousand soldiers rowed to the shore in a troop carrier. In order to defend against danger, there were machine gunners lying in front of each troop carrier. Once they found the enemy, the machine guns would shoot the enemy mercilessly.
Just like the information provided by Yue Yun, when the imperial soldiers approached the coast, some sporadic gunshots rang out, and the imperial soldiers immediately used machine guns to fight back.
Under the fierce fire, the Dutch soldiers hiding behind the obstacles of the wharf could not resist. In only half an hour, the Empire occupied the small city.
"Yue Yun, let's say goodbye here for the time being. When you clean up the enemy warships on the route, we will go to Calcutta together." Lei Ming said that his early task is to capture Jakarta and cut off the supply points of European allied forces in Asia.
Yue Yun is just cooperating with him, and his real task is to cut off the sea transportation lines of the European coalition forces and isolate the European coalition forces in Calcutta.
