After Qu Mao returned to the Holy Land of King Yi from the Twin Islands, he landed directly at the Fucun Shipyard. After inspecting the ironclad ship research and development project at the Fucun Shipyard, he prepared to take the 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 launch test, the ironclad ship research and development project team is waiting for the latest results of the engine to appear, and on the other hand, it is constantly optimizing the appearance and materials of the ironclad ship.

Thanks to the continuous development of the metallurgical industry in King Yi's territory, alloy materials are also emerging in endlessly, 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 speed up a lot, but it still cannot meet the needs of combat.

When it comes to ironclad ships, Qu Mao has a relatively stable mentality and has always been satisfied. Although no meaningful results have been produced for several years, Qu Mao believes that as long as he continues to develop, he will eventually get the results he wants.

At the Fukumura Shipyard, Qu Mao encouraged the members of the ironclad ship research and development project team at the scene, hoping that they would continue to work hard, hope that they would continue to develop new materials for ironclad ships, and also encourage them to develop some other new ships while studying ironclad ships.

It was pointed out that the research direction of Fukumura Shipyard's new ship is to increase the displacement scale, reduce the ship's dead weight, and focus on the ship's maneuverability and attack power.

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

After finishing his inspection at Fucun Shipyard, Qu Mao bought a train ticket at Fucun Shipyard Railway Station and took the train towards the Islands Power Research Institute.

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

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

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

Under normal circumstances, Kong Ming is not in charge of the lord's cabin. He is either directing technological research and development at the Outlying Island Power Research Institute, or at home, so Qu Mao asked the director of the Power Research Institute to go to Kong Ming's home to search.

When they arrived at Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng's research project workshop, when they saw Qu Mao, they immediately put down their work and ran over happily.

Nowadays, the R&D team of Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng is considered to be the most popular research team of the Island Power Research Institute. The number of team members has increased to more than 100 people. Young college graduates like to dig into Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng's team.

.

This R&D team has researched steam engines to the extreme, and has also conducted extensive research on internal combustion engines, even though Qu Mao clearly assigned the research and development tasks of internal combustion engines to Nan Li and Mu Desheng.

Qu Mao's arrival first attracted the attention of Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng. Seeing Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng surrounding 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 home to find Kong Ming.

Bi Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Sir, I'm afraid the director's trip will be in vain. Master Kong Ming has established a mechanical research institute on the other side of the dam in Reservoir Village, mainly studying mechanical power and mechanical transmission.

, the initial inspiration was our gearbox.

Mr. Kong Ming is now the acting director of the Mechanical Research Institute, so our director may have to go to Mr. Kong Ming’s house in vain.

Of course, our director also knows about the establishment of the Mechanical Research Institute. I am afraid that the director will forget it when he receives your task. Of course, if the director does not find Mr. Kong Ming at his home, he will probably go to the Mechanical Research Institute to help you.

Let’s continue looking for Master Kong Ming.”

Qu Mao suddenly became interested and said: "Oh, Mechanical Research Institute? We will go and have a look together later.

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

Yan Qisheng said: "Sir, Master Kong Ming once mentioned it, but our director said to 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 to the Mechanical Research Institute together first!"

However, before Qu Mao, Bi Sheng, Yan Qisheng, and a few researchers reached the gate of the Outlying Islands Power Research Institute, he saw Kong Ming, accompanied by the director of the Outlying Islands Power Research Institute, shaking his goose feather fan, walking towards the inside of the Power Research Institute.

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 established a mechanical research institute, and I was just thinking of going over to take a look."

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and said with a smile: "Sir, my subordinates are originally in love with machinery, and their interest and excitement in machinery far exceed that of other scientific research fields.

It's just that I followed you in research and development, so I went off track and focused my energy on power research, as well as all areas that are urgently needed in King Yi's territory.

Now in the Power Research Institute, Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng can fully take charge of their own affairs, and the R&D teams they lead are also very good. Therefore, after much thought, their subordinates still feel that they should return to the field they love.

Therefore, my subordinates established the current Mechanical Research Institute on March 24, the eleventh year of Tianxuan. At that time, I also informed you to attend the launching ceremony, but you were busy with other things at that time.

Since you, sir, are interested in the Mechanical Research Institute under your control, let’s visit the Mechanical Research Institute and exchange ideas on the research direction of the Mechanical Research Institute.”

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

After saying that, a group of people walked directly towards the Mechanical Research Institute. Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and introduced to Qu Mao the original intention of establishing the Mechanical Research Institute, its early configuration and the projects currently underway.

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

The Lidao Reservoir Village was not very big at first. After walking less than two kilometers along the Lihe Reservoir dam, Kong Ming pointed to the inconspicuous gate in front of him with a goose feather fan and said with a smile: "Sir, this is the gate of the Mechanical Research Institute.
