Chapter 226: New ideas in Taoyuan

When he arrived at the research institute, Li Yin saw Tong Yu who was busy. Although these three types of artillery had met Li Yin's needs at this stage, Tong Yu still did not stop researching on artillery. He and Guo Xianyuan were still competing. Improve their own weapons.

At this time, Tong Yu was trying to add rifling to the artillery in the lathe factory, but it seemed that it was not going well from his expression.

Li Yin stood aside and didn't bother him, until he put down the work in his hands before saying, "How is it?"

Tong Yu was taken aback by Li Yin's sudden voice, seeing that it was Li Yin, he quickly saluted and said, "Your Highness."

"Exemption." Li Yin said, lying on the muzzle of the gun and looking inside, there was only a crooked rifling inside.

"Your Highness, these basic machine tools are still unable to produce rifling." Tong Yu said at this time.

Li Yan stood up. Although the steelmaking technology has been improved, the machine tool technology has not yet been matched, which prevents many fine parts from being produced, and this also affects the development of basic industries.

In the past few months, Li Yin has thought about it carefully, and there is no need to stick to the path from the first industrial revolution to modern industrial development. At that time, it was because there was no West that was groping forward.

But it’s different if he has advanced technology. Some things can still be developed in advance, such as more advanced steel plants. Moreover, this does not affect the basic knowledge of scientific researchers. For example, it took the West two hundred years to complete it. However, it only took a few short decades for Japan to achieve industrialization. The first industrial revolution and the second industrial revolution were carried out at the same time. The reason for this is the use of ready-made Western scientific achievements and experience.

"It doesn't matter, this is a problem with the machine tool. I will provide more advanced machine tools in a few days." Li Yin made a decision. Although there is no electricity now, the steam engine already exists, and the equipment for the steam engine is also under development. Li Yin can go back and let the factory produce a batch of machine tools driven by steam equipment. This is the intersection of the first industrial revolution and the second industrial revolution that Li Yin thought.

Tong Yu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "That would be great, as a lot of equipment can be produced in this way."

Li Yan walked around the machine tool factory. Said: "This batch of machine tools should also be eliminated. By the way, what is Du Pingzhi doing now?" Li Yin thought of Du Pingzhi. Since the construction of the treasure ship was handed over to Yunshou, Du Pingzhi was relieved and got into it again. laboratory.

"He is currently studying the four damaged tractors." Tong Yu said casually.

"He's working on tractors?" Li Yin was a little surprised, "Has he stopped working on steam engines?"

Tong Yu walked out with Li Yin and said: "He said that the steam engine has limited functions, and the current steam engine is already the most advanced, and there is no more advanced steam engine in the technical data. And the one that surpasses the steam engine is the internal combustion engine, which is Your Highness. The contents of those tractors."

Li Yan understood, it seems that before he can promote a new technological revolution, these researchers themselves will not be far behind. After all, the simpler the technology, the easier it is to master. There can no longer be innovations, so they can only seek more advanced technologies.

Du Pingzhi's research on internal combustion engines also conforms to Li Yin's ideas. Steam engines can drive large machinery, such as trains, ships, and cluster equipment in factories. Internal combustion engines cannot be replaced by internal combustion engines, but small vehicles still have to use internal combustion engines. Li Yin's own farm is getting bigger and bigger, relying on pure manpower is becoming less and less enough. If Du Pingzhi's imitation is successful, Li Yin will first ask him to manufacture a batch of agricultural machinery to increase food production capacity.

Leaving the machine tool factory, Li Yin and Tong Yu entered the research institute. On the way, Tong Yu introduced to Li Yin the new progress made in Taoyuan during this period. One of these is that the soap and shampoo technology has matured and can be put into production, which makes Li Yin very happy. Finally, he no longer needs to go back and forth between the present and the Tang Dynasty to trade the shampoo and soap.

"In addition to these two, there is also the successful research on the Jenny handloom." Tong Yu said.

The spinning jenny is a product of the first industrial revolution. This kind of loom improves the efficiency of weaving by ten times. Yizhou is a rich place of Shu brocade. With this kind of loom, it will be more like a fish in water, and more Shu brocade will be produced, which will promote the development of the garment industry. The first industrial revolution It is also mainly reflected in the great development of the textile industry.

While listening, Li Yin kept nodding his head to show his approval. The two of them arrived at Tong Yu's office while they were talking. The year before last, Li Yin had formulated three main research directions for the research institute. Now these three items have been overfulfilled. After that, Li Yin will set a new research direction for them.

"Your Highness, please!" Tong Yu held a pen and a notebook in his hand. Today's research has gotten rid of the brush, and he has begun to use a new type of pen to record various experimental results, because relatively speaking, the writing speed of the pen is much faster than that of the brush. So when the fountain pen entered Taoyuan, the writing brush was quickly eliminated, and these scientific madmen paid more attention to the efficiency of work.

"The first is the imitation of internal combustion engines and generators. Electric power will be the main research project in the future, because with the development of industry, the demand for energy is also increasing. I hope that this thermal power plant can be developed within ten years. Progress, the second is the development of production machinery, including the machinery of various industries must be carried out at the same time, and strive to realize the mechanization of the factory within ten years, and gradually eliminate manual operations, just like thermal power plants. The third is the rubber industry. In the future, rubber will To become a very important industrial material, this must be done." Li Yin summed up his thoughts.

Tong Yu wrote down a few items, and when he wrote the last one, Tong Yu had a difficult time, "Your Highness, the development of the rubber industry needs rubber as a raw material, but there is no such thing as rubber now."

Li Yin said: "You don't have to worry about this. This year I plan to plant rubber grass and fig trees in Yizhou. The sap of these two things can be made into rubber. You can produce it next year. Before that, you need to put the rubber plant Once established, I will also provide some machinery for your reference."

Tong Nian nodded when he heard the words, and Li Yin's words are enough, "As long as there is raw rubber, these are not problems."

A ten-year plan was made for Tong Nian. Li Yin said: "These ten years are neither long nor short. For this goal, you can list the equipment you need at present, and I will help you buy them."

After more than a year of study, Tong Nian is no longer the original Wuxia Amon, and has a full understanding of modern science and technology. What they need now is scientific research conditions, that is, more advanced production equipment to help them convert technical materials into into real items.

After thinking for a while, Tong Yu said boldly: "Your Highness, after studying for so long, we have already understood that the technical information His Highness gave us is based on the scientific development process, and the direction of development is also the same, but I thought that some things can be prepared in Taoyuan in advance. Use, that will be beneficial to scientific research, such as generators, printers and digital cameras provided by His Highness, we cannot produce these things with our current capabilities, but their functions are obvious and very practical, His Highness also said We stand on the shoulders of giants, so why not stand higher, so that it is easier to achieve His Highness's goal."

Tong Yu meant to provide them with more advanced equipment, which is not a problem. Li Yin said: "This is what I think too. I will provide you with more advanced research equipment, so that you have more superior research conditions."

Tong Yu was overjoyed. He didn't expect him to agree just by saying that, but what he said was also the voice of all researchers. Today's Taoyuan is like a scientist who returned from studying abroad in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, although he has advanced scientific and technological knowledge in his mind. , but due to the backward production conditions, some things cannot be produced at all, which limits the speed of scientific development. Now Li Yin is really ready to release this shackle and let them fly freely.

Li Yin could see Tong Nian's joy. In the past, he didn't dare to make too much noise because he couldn't even protect his own fief, but now it's different. No one can threaten him anymore, so he can feel at ease and be bold. To do it, to promote the scientific atmosphere in Taoyuan.

Leaving Taoyuan and returning to the palace, Li Min made an excuse, saying that he was going to stay in a foreign military camp in Yizhou for a few days. This is where Li Minxin disappeared, because no one in the army dared to disobey his orders, and he only needed to say "" Do not disturb me", you can hide and do whatever you want without worrying about safety.

Back in Hyundai, Li Yin went to find He Ziming, and he needed to solve the power issue, because Li Yin asked him to research new power generation equipment since the acquisition of this generator factory, and a few months ago he and He Ziming When He Ziming contacted him, he said that he had developed a large-scale diesel generator set, one of which could provide electricity for a large-scale factory. Only modern equipment can be driven by generators.

"Chairman, please follow me." Li Yin went to call He Ziming, and He Ziming waited at the door early in the morning after getting the information.

"How many large diesel generator sets have been produced?" Li Yin asked when they met.

He Ziming said: "All thirty sets have been produced."

"Actually, as you said, a large generator set can run a large factory?" On the phone, He Ziming boasted that he wanted to catch up with Cummins of Country M, which is an internationally renowned diesel generator manufacturer.

"Although it can't meet the standard of Cummins, the chairman can rest assured that these equipment can definitely provide the operation of a large factory. Now I ask the employees to cut off the power of the factory and replace it with a generator." After He Ziming finished speaking, he said to an employee What, and then the hum of factory machinery suddenly died away.
