Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 474 Internal Combustion Engine Problem

The Academy of Sciences moved to the capital one after another as Chu Yun made the capital the center of his rule.The site of the Academy of Sciences was Beicheng District where Dingguo Mansion is located, and a piece of land was specially designated for the Academy of Sciences, and there was a spare land for future use.This place is defined by Chu Yun as the future cultural and technological center, where locally developed and system-unlocked technologies will be tested and then promoted to all parts of the country.

Chu Yun brought Yu Cheng and others to the Academy of Sciences, but the officials of the Academy of Sciences were caught off guard and there was no time to welcome them.

"Master, you came so suddenly, don't say anything, let us receive you well." The official of the Academy of Sciences who first discovered Chu Yun's arrival said in a panic.

"Your Academy of Sciences is not doing anything shady, I just came to check the progress of the 'New Power' project, and meet with the members in charge of the New Power project to understand the progress." Chu Yun said, "Take me to their laboratory."

"Master, please come with me." The officials of the Academy of Sciences said with honor.

A construction site in the Academy of Sciences, due to the rush of time, only a wooden shed is used to block the sun and wind and rain, and under the wooden shed, a group of people are drawing drawings in front of the desk, and a group of people are playing with a pile of broken copper Iron, with barrels of fuel on the side.

"The military master has come to inspect the new energy project, where is the project leader Daimler?" an official from the Academy of Sciences asked.

"Is the military master here?" A bald but bearded man of about 50 years old came out from the group of drawing people. When he saw Chu Yun, he saluted Chu Yun, " I have seen the military master."

"Hmm." Chu Yun looked at this big man who was worth tens of thousands of civilization points.

This guy named Daimler spent a lot of his civilization points.To say that this person may have an unfamiliar name, but the car company founded by this guy merged with the Mercedes-Benz Company to create the world-famous Mercedes-Benz Company.Inventor of the first vertical gasoline engine, one of the fathers of the world's automobile.

Such a person is called, of course, for the development of internal combustion engines and further research on automobiles and armored vehicles.With a motor vehicle, you can go wherever you want.

"How's the research on internal combustion engines going?" Chu Yun asked with concern.

"The design blueprint has been roughly drawn, and the materials are ready. We still need to find a few good blacksmiths and steel smelters. Even if it is manufactured, we need to do a few more tests. It is estimated that the manufactured engine will rotate at 500-1000 revolutions per minute. Left and right. It can be mounted on a carriage," Daimler said.

"The performance is not high enough." Chu Yun said after hearing this.

When starting the vertical gasoline engine technology this time, Chu Yun was unlucky. He didn't even bring the finished system of the engine. Only Daimler and a few of his companions had to manufacture everything by himself.This made Chu Yun very depressed, and even thought that the system was deliberately blocking his technological development.

After all, if the internal combustion engine technology is mature, oil, an important strategic material, will be on the stage of history.However, only this small part of the world has just entered the gate of the steam age. If Chu Yun goes further, it will really drop the world's technological level by two levels!

"This is already something built with all the knowledge I have mastered, and I have no way to create a higher-performance engine. Even this gasoline engine, I don't know if I can successfully manufacture it." Daimler said aggrievedly.

It’s not that he can’t do it, but Daimler’s research is after all one of the first group of people who developed cars in the late 19th century, while Chu Yun’s vision is at least military vehicles and armored vehicles during World War II. The difference between the two is at least two generations time.

"My requirements are too harsh. What you are researching is already the most advanced technology in our Academy of Sciences. I hope you can continue to work hard to develop this gasoline engine. If it can only be installed on a carriage for the time being, it is fine, after all. A historic breakthrough. I will try my best to provide funds and talents for your project, so you can work with peace of mind." Chu Yun said.

Think of it as the accumulation of engine technology and automobile technology research.In the future, the hands of more advanced automobile technology and engine technology will not be poor and empty, and everything will have to start from scratch.In any case, engine technology and automobile technology have already begun to take the lead in research and development in China.

"We will continue to work hard, please rest assured, Lord Master!" The members of the new power project said one after another.

They felt tremendous pressure at the same time. It turned out that the car in Chu Yun's imagination was much more complicated than the finished carriage planned on Daimler's design drawings.Limited by technology, they can't develop more advanced cars, so they can only make the best of the project at hand.

Chu Yun left the Academy of Sciences with mixed feelings.It seems that there is still a considerable distance from the oil age.Chu Yun was thinking about how to quickly enter the oil age. At this time, he didn't know how many decades it would take to rely on self-development.

If you use the industrial revolution system, you should be able to greatly shorten the research and development progress.For example, more advanced engine technology, modern automobile assembly line production technology, and oil extraction technology.But for these core technologies in the early twentieth century, the civilization points required to open them are a huge astronomical number.Now defeating Daming Chuyun has gained a lot of civilization points, but if you are not in charge, you don't know how expensive it is, and it costs a lot of civilization points just to turn on the front-end technology of the internal combustion engine.

And the technology of the second industrial revolution is inextricably linked with many natural sciences!Especially in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, a major technology needs to open many branches of natural sciences, such as aerodynamics for airplanes!There are also precision strike artillery that must have ballistics!
In addition to the slow development of the territory under his rule to provide civilization points, Chu Yun thought of another way to obtain a large number of civilization points is to complete "historical achievements".The historical achievement that Chu Yun is closest to completing now is the historical achievement of "Rise of the Empire". To have a population of 1000 million native civilizations and 200 million colonial populations, 25 civilization points can be obtained through the system.

"200 million colonial population?" Chu Yun thought for a while. After annexing Daming, Chu Yun already had a population of more than 1000 million in this civilization, but the colonial population was far less than 200 million.However, it does not seem to be that difficult to obtain a colonial population of 200 million.

"Master, we have received a telegram from southern Liaoning. They conveyed the request for instructions from Zheng Zhihu, the commander of the troops stationed in Yokohama." Zhao Youguang from the staff found Chu Yun.

"Oh?" Chu Yun accepted Zheng Zhihu's request, his eyes gradually brightened, "I really need something."
