Chapter 1350： mechanical development

  After returning to the Holy Land of King Yi from Twin Islands halfway, Qu Mao landed directly at the Fucun Shipyard and inspected the ironclad ship research and development project of the Fucun Shipyard before preparing to take a steam train to the outlying island power research institute.

  Although the ironclad ship research and development project has not made much progress in the past few years, since the successful launching test, the ironclad ship research and development project team is waiting for the latest engine results to appear, and on the other hand, it is also continuously optimizing the appearance and materials of the ironclad ship.

  Thanks to the continuous development of the metallurgical industry in Yiwang's territory, alloy materials are emerging in an endless stream, so the materials of ironclad ships are also changing day by day.

  Under the influence of the latest ironclad ship materials, using the steam engine used in the initial ironclad ship launch test, the draft of the ironclad ship will actually increase, and the sailing speed will also increase a lot, but it still cannot meet the needs of combat.

   Qu Mao’s mentality is relatively stable in terms of ironclad ships, and he has always been very satisfied. Although he has not produced meaningful results for several years, as long as he continues to develop, Qu Mao believes that he can finally achieve the results he wants.

   At Qumao, Fucun Shipyard, I encouraged the members of the ironclad ship research and development project team, hoped that they would continue to work hard, hoped that they would continue to develop new materials for ironclad ships, and encouraged them to develop some other new types of ships while researching ironclad ships.

  Indicates that the research direction of the new ship of Fukumura Shipyard is to increase the displacement scale and reduce the weight of the ship, focusing on the maneuverability and attack power of the ship.

  The ironclad ship research and development project team was excited by Qu Mao's speech, and wished they had to wait for Qu Mao to leave before starting new research.

  After the inspection of the Fucun Shipyard, Qu Mao bought a train ticket at the Fucun Shipyard Railway Station, and took the train to the outlying island power research institute.

  Now the total length of the Shuifu Railway is more than 30 kilometers, and it can be reached by train in about half an hour.

   After Qu Mao got off at the train station of the Power Research Institute, he went straight to the Outlying Island Power Research Institute. Unfortunately, he did not find Kong Ming in the Outlying Island Power Research Institute.

  So Qu Mao ordered the director of the Outlying Island Power Research Institute to find Kong Ming at Kong Ming's house, while he went directly to the project workshop of Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng.

  Under normal circumstances, Kong Ming does not sit in the lord's hut. He either directs technology research and development at the Outlying Island Power Research Institute, or stays at home. That's why Qu Mao asked the director of the Power Research Institute to go to Kong Ming's house to look for it.

  When they came to the research project workshop of Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng, when they saw Qu Mao, they immediately put down their work and ran over happily.

Now the R&D team of Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng is the hottest research team in the Outlying Islands Institute of Power Research. Not to mention that the number of team members has increased to more than 100, young university graduates like to sharpen their heads and drill into the team of Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng. .

  This R&D team has researched the steam engine to the extreme, and at the same time has done a lot of research on the internal combustion engine, even though Qu Mao clearly entrusted the research and development task of the internal combustion engine to Nanli and Mu Desheng.

The arrival of Qu Mao first attracted the attention of Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng. Seeing Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng gathered around Qu Mao, other researchers also discovered Qu Mao, so more and more researchers gathered around Qu Mao .

   After a brief exchange with Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng, Qu Mao told Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng that he had asked the director of the Power Research Institute to go to Kong Ming's house to find Kong Ming.

Bi Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My lord, I'm afraid the director will have to make a trip in vain. Master Kong Ming has already established a mechanical research institute on the other side of the dam in the reservoir village, mainly researching mechanical power and mechanical transmission. , the original inspiration was our Gearbox.

  Master Kong Ming is now the acting director of the Machinery Research Institute, so our director may have to go to Mr. Kong Ming's house for a while.

Of course, our director knows about the establishment of the Mechanical Research Institute, and I am afraid that the director will forget when he receives your mission, sir. Of course, if the director does not find Mr. Kong Ming at Mr. Kong Ming’s home, he will probably go to the Mechanical Research Institute to help you. Continue to look for Master Kong Ming. "

   Qu Mao became interested in an instant, and said, "Oh, the Institute of Mechanical Engineering? We're going to have a look together later.

   Now that your two R&D teams are a bit big, have you considered setting up two R&D teams? Bi Sheng, you and Yan Qisheng each lead a R&D team? "

  Yan Qisheng said: "My lord, Master Kong Ming once mentioned it, but our director said that we should finish the internal combustion engine project first, and then consider splitting it into two project teams."

   Qu Mao nodded and said, "Okay, let's go, let's go to the Mechanical Research Institute first!"

However, before Qu Mao brought Bi Sheng, Yan Qisheng, and a few researchers to the gate of the Outlying Island Power Research Institute, he saw Kong Ming walking towards the power research institute accompanied by the director of the Outlying Island Power Research Institute, waving a goose feather fan. Come.

   Seeing Qu Mao, Bi Sheng, Yan Qisheng and others from a distance, Kong Ming raised his goose feather fan high and greeted Qu Mao and others.

  When the two groups of people came together, Qu Mao was not polite to Kong Ming, and asked directly: "Kong Ming, I just heard from Bi Sheng that you have established a mechanical research institute, and I want to go and have a look."

  Kong Ming waved his goose feather fan and said with a smile: "My lord, my subordinates have always been in love with machinery, and their interest and enthusiasm for machinery far exceeds other scientific research fields.

   It's just because you are doing research and development with your lord, that's why you deviated from the direction and concentrated your energy on power research, as well as all the areas that King Yi's territory urgently needs.

  Now in the Power Research Institute, Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng can be completely independent, and the R&D teams they lead are also very good, so after much deliberation, the subordinates still feel that they should return to the field they love.

   Therefore, my subordinates established the current Machinery Research Institute on March 24, the eleventh year of Tianxuan. At that time, I also notified my lord that you would come to participate in the launching ceremony, but you were busy with other things at that time.

  Since your lord is interested in your mechanical research institute, let’s visit the mechanical research institute and exchange ideas about the research direction of the mechanical research institute. "

   Qu Mao nodded and said, "Very well, just follow what Kong Ming said."

   After finishing speaking, a group of people walked directly towards the Mechanical Research Institute. Kong Ming waving a goose feather fan, while walking, introduced to Qu Mao the original intention of the Mechanical Research Institute, its early configuration, and the ongoing projects.

   Qu Mao was very interested. Bi Sheng, Yan Qisheng and others followed behind, naturally took out a pen and paper to record.

The Lidao Reservoir Village was originally small, and after walking along the Lihe Reservoir Dam for less than two kilometers, Kong Ming pointed to the unremarkable gate with a goose feather fan, and said with a smile, "My lord, this is the gate of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering. gone."
