Chapter 1552 External Combustion Engine Locomotive

Qu Mao firmly believes that war will never be the greatest driving force for scientific and technological progress and industrial development.

After Qu Mao inspected the production conditions of new military industrial enterprises in the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's Territory and various parts of the Eastern Continent, he found that the entire new military industrial chain was in motion, and there was a strong sense that a war was coming.

The tense atmosphere was no less than the tense atmosphere more than ten years ago when Emperor Yi's territory was about to face the collective siege of all the indigenous forces and the chosen player lord forces in the Conflict for Hegemony Continent.

When Qu Mao returned from traveling outside for more than a month, he heard that there was news about the progress of external combustion engine locomotives at the Island Power Research Institute.

After hearing the news, Qu Mao was very excited. Not only because of preparations for war, there has been substantial progress in the application of external combustion engines to trains.

In early November of the 19th year of Tianxuan, when Qu Mao held a military industrial chain planning meeting, he had already heard about such an attempt by the Island Power Research Institute. At that time, Qu Mao specifically asked Kong Ming to intervene and guide Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng to speed up research and development.

speed.

In Qu Mao's view, using an external combustion engine as the power for train locomotives should not be a very complicated matter in terms of technology. After all, all the locomotives of the trains in Yi Di's territory are powered by steam engines. Steam engines are different from the current ones.

The structure of the external combustion engine is almost the same.

On February 14, the 20th year of Tianxuan, good news came to Qu Mao: The experiment of applying external combustion engines to train locomotives at the Islands Power Research Institute had made key progress. The external combustion engine train locomotives had been installed outside the Islands Power Research Institute.

The experimental rails have been tested in operation and can basically meet the needs.

Qu Mao rushed to the Outlying Island Power Research Institute as soon as possible. At present, all the steam trains in Yi Emperor's territory have a maximum speed of only 60 kilometers per hour. Counting the constant stops to replenish water and fuel, the time consumed in starting and braking, Yi

The average speed of trains operating in the Imperial Territory can reach up to 30 kilometers per hour.

When Bi Sheng, Yan Qisheng and their team developed an external-combustion engine train locomotive, at least one replenishment would last a long time, but the time saved in starting and braking should not be underestimated, not to mention the external-combustion engine.

Train locomotives can provide greater pulling power.

If the prototype can be put into mass production quickly and the steam train locomotives that are slowly moving away can be quickly replaced, Qu Mao believes that the railway traffic situation in Yi Di's territory can be quickly improved, and the traffic efficiency can be doubled in Huadong.

Moreover, the efficiency of transportation will also be increased many times due to the greater pulling power of the external combustion engine locomotive. This is the biggest good news for the war preparations since the Yidi territory began to actively prepare for war.

Outside the Islands Power Research Institute, Qu Mao climbed onto the prototype locomotive of an external combustion engine train. Outside the Islands Power Research Institute, there was a 300-meter-long experimental rail. He ran it over and over more than a dozen times before patting Bi Shenghe.

Yan Qisheng looked over his shoulder and said: "He was wrong about what Kong Ming said: Their external combustion engine can be used in armored ships, there is no reason why it cannot be used in trains and locomotives.

Originally, there was no technical difficulty in replacing the steam engine with an external combustion engine.

Now we seize the time to contact Mengde and Xuande to arrange production as soon as possible, produce external combustion engine locomotives as quickly as possible, and quickly equip them.

The equipment of the steam train locomotive factory can be used to produce external combustion engine locomotives first, and the external combustion engine locomotive factory can be built simultaneously. Priority can be given to all the trains and locomotives on the Eastern Railway connecting the Holy Land to the Western Continent, Southern Continent, Northern Continent and Central Continent.

Replace it to support the upcoming battles in those four branch territories."

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and said: "Sir, can you breathe a sigh of relief this time? With the external combustion engine locomotive, Zhudong estimates that the time they need to travel to four continents will be reduced to two days and one night or two nights.

One day was shortened by half.

In this way, their logistics supply efficiency for the four branch territories will be doubled, and it will also provide the four branch territories with twice the winning rate against the local forces on each continent."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "To conquer other continents and fight, Yan Qisheng and Bi Sheng remember the first battle."

Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng were full of excitement. Bi Sheng said: "Thank you for your trust and cultivation. They will continue to work hard."

Qu Mao continued: "Our classmates Nan Li and Mu Degui have been studying the steel battlefield in Liandao for nearly 10 years, but there is still no progress. We need to help them at the appropriate time.

He believes that after the external combustion engine is built, the progress of their project will be accelerated a lot.

Wrong. The two of us are already the top scientific research talents in the Holy Land of Emperor Yi. There is no need to continue to develop together. We can divide the projects we are currently involved in, form two scientific research teams, and go to different places to work on branches.

Scientific and technological research in different directions.

In this way, it will be beneficial to our growth, the growth of our team, and the development of scientific research in the Yidi territory.

When the steel chariot project is successful, Nanli and Mu Degui will have to deal with it in the same way."

Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng glanced at each other, and Yan Qisheng said: "Sir, Dong and Bi Sheng, Nan Li, Mu Degui and their teams have also had full exchanges and communication many times. The current problems with the Iron Chariot are nothing more than

There are problems with the miniaturization and convenience of external combustion engines. Of course, there are also problems with the transmission of external combustion engine power to the wheels of steel chariots.

In fact, Nan Li and Mu Degui were not completely without progress. They also made great achievements in wingsuit flight and controllable hot air balloons.

Ru Ming and others are making a prototype of an airship. Once the airship is completed, soldiers can drive the airship to the enemy's position in the air and drop bombs directly from the enemy's head to strike accurately. This is of great significance in war..."

Qu Mao was stunned for a moment and murmured to himself: "Damn it! Did the Air Force get sorted out so quickly?"

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and asked: "Sir, what is the Air Force?"

Qu Mao said: "The army flying in the sky is called the Air Force.

There are many other worlds, but there are currently very few in the Battle for Hegemony Continent.

Even if an airship is used in the sky, it is still an air force, even if it goes astray.

No, Kong Ming, I will continue to urge the conversion of external combustion engine locomotives into mass production, and let Xuande and Meng De work together to assist, and we must complete the replacement of Wanwan locomotives as quickly as possible.

He must take time to go to Liandao to see Nanli and Mu Degui's airship. He must not go too far. If that thing suddenly appears on the battlefield, it will definitely shock all the enemies."

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and said: "Sir, the arrangement for the production of external combustion engine trains and locomotives can be explained in the magic communication crystal. Zhudong will go to Liandao with you to broaden your horizons."

Qu Mao pulled Kong Ming and rushed towards Liandao without stopping.
