The National Rifle Association should be considered a semi-military civil organization.

Li Mu has dealt with the National Rifle Association a lot and knows that members of the National Rifle Association are basically on the National Guard roster, so this organization is a bit sensitive. Generally speaking, active-duty officers will not serve in the National Rifle Association, but exceptions are not ruled out. For example, Yan Hu. Although Yan Hu is also an active-duty officer of the US Army now, Yan Hu is still on the National Rifle Association's roster and is still an instructor of the Springfield Rifle Association.

It seems that Will is not impossible to serve as chairman of the National Rifle Association.

The matter is because of humans. As long as Li Mu makes up his mind to operate well, there is not completely hopeless.

Although the National Rifle Association is a civil organization, its original intention is to strengthen the martial spirit of Americans and improve the shooting skills of ordinary Americans, so the military color is very strong.

In the publications provided by the National Rifle Association for all members in the past two years, weapons produced by the Junma Weapons Factory have been highly recommended, which is a feature that Li Mu attaches great importance to.

In fact, it seems that this function is a bit useless now. As Colt and Winchester are gradually incorporated by the Junma Weapon Factory, except for the Springfield Rifle produced by the Junma Weapon Factory, the National Rifle Association has no other choice.

However, this is not the reason why Li Mu ignored the National Rifle Association. Li Mu knew how great the development potential of the National Rifle Association in the future would be, so no matter what, Li Mu would try his best to maintain cooperation with the National Rifle Association and maintain influence on the National Rifle Association.

Compared with the 21st century National Rifle Association, the current National Rifle Association is just a newborn calf. The 21st century National Rifle Association has millions of members, and is so powerful that it can even influence the presidential election. No matter who is on stage, he dares not ignore the influence of the National Rifle Association.

It is precisely because of the existence of the National Rifle Association that all the ideas of successive US presidents to ban guns have been wasted. Of course, the influence of weapons manufacturers here also plays a great role.

Junma Weapons Company is now the largest weapons manufacturer in the United States. The National Rifle Association also attaches great importance to cooperation with Junma Weapons Company. As long as Junma Weapons Company sells a weapon, whether it is a pistol or a rifle, it will give it a membership of the National Rifle Association for one year with the gun. This is also one of the cooperation contents of Junma Weapons Company and the National Rifle Association.

Since I came to Boston, I had to go to the Horse Laboratory for a walk.

Junma Laboratory is becoming increasingly large, with more than 500 researchers of all kinds. Not only in the United States, but also in the world, Junma Laboratory is also second to none.

The Power Institute is still the core of Junma Laboratory, with more than 160 researchers and is currently studying the third-generation engine and gearbox technology. The Power Laboratory has made great contributions to the reason why Junma Automobile performed so well in the U.S. automobile rally.

He will reward you for his merits, so Li Mu is not stingy when he comes to Junma Laboratory. This time, Li Mu brought a check with a total face value of 500,000 US dollars to be a boy who is a rich man.

"It is not easy to study new engines and gearboxes. To get higher power, you need higher temperature and pressure, and this is not our strength..." Li Mu came to the institute, and Franklin was of course accompanied by the whole process, but Franklin was very bitter when he saw Li Mu, and did not have much of the demeanor he should have as the "father of automobiles".

Junma Laboratory has trained many "fathers", such as Longkel, who are now known as the "father of electric lights", and Antonio Meuci, who is the "father of telephone". As the helmsman of Junma Power Laboratory, Franklin is now known as the "father of automobiles".

In fact, if Li Mu is willing, Li Mu can concentrate all these titles on himself, but this is meaningless. Li Mu is more willing to use these false titles to stimulate the enthusiasm of scientific researchers, which will bring greater benefits to Li Mu and Junma Group.

What Franklin said is also a fact. When technology has developed to a certain extent, materials have begun to become the biggest bottleneck restricting the development of technology.

Li Mu once intended to set up a materials laboratory, but in Pittsburgh, Carnegie has set up a similar materials laboratory. If Li Mu repeats his investment, it may affect the friendship between Li Mu and Carnegie.

Since the rebirth, Li Mu has brought more and more changes. If the development of American companies in the past few years was still accumulating and expanding through primitive means, then since Li Mu's Junma Laboratory began to show its value, the value of technology has been increasingly valued. First, Rockefeller Laboratory and Rockefeller University, and now Carnegie has joined in. Although there is only one material laboratory at present, in a few years, another Carnegie University may be born.

"I will communicate with Pittsburgh about the material issue and try to put our needs first. You should also pay attention to changing your thinking, expanding your thinking, and finding new ways to solve problems. You cannot go to the dark side of the road." The material issue cannot be solved in a day or two, so Li Mu cannot make a specific promise, and he still needs to tap his own potential. As long as his thoughts do not fall, there are always more ways than difficulties.

In terms of power, Li Mu is also an amateur. At the beginning of the power laboratory, Li Mu could provide some guidance based on the knowledge he obtained in the 21st century, but once the research is carried out in depth, Li Mu's ability is also a blind eye.

Fortunately, Junma Laboratory has accumulated a lot of talents. After having a certain degree of successful experience, regardless of whether Li Mu's guidance, Junma Laboratory will develop forward according to its own inertia. Li Mu's role in the future will become smaller and smaller, and he will eventually be able to assume the role of an investor.

This is enough. There is never a shortage of thousands of miles of horses in the world, but the one lacks is Bole.

"We are really trying our best. Some time ago, a researcher proposed a plan that when air enters the cylinder, the air is compressed. When the compression reaches its peak, the fuel injector of the oil supply system injects fuel into the air combustion chamber at extremely high pressure in a very short time. The fuel oil forms fine oil particles and mixes with high-temperature and high-pressure air. At this time, the combustible mixture burns on its own, expands violently to generate explosive force, and pushes the piston to do work, and we can get higher power and stronger power." Franklin's many professional terms burst out, and in the end Li Mu did not understand what Franklin was talking about.

However, this did not hinder Li Mu's understanding, and another new technology was born.

"What is this researcher's name?" Li Mu was a little curious. The engine described by Franklin is called a compression ignition engine, and there is also a name for this engine called a diesel engine.

Compared with gasoline engines, diesel engines are bulky, but their power increases are safer, so they are widely used in various large machinery.

If the diesel engine is successfully developed, it may not be realistic to directly apply it to cars according to the current technical level, but for trucks or agricultural machinery that Junma Group is studying, the application prospects are still extremely wide.

"Rudolph, Rudolph Diesel." Franklin had no intention of taking credit, and there was no need for his part.

Rudolph Diesel, this name is really well-known. The future diesel engine was named directly by Rudolph's surname to commemorate the great inventor. Unexpectedly, this inventor is now working in the Junma Laboratory.

"The genius' proposal to help Rudolph form a research team, which Rudolph is directly responsible for." Since there are such talents in the institute, Li Mu of course wants to make the best use of it.

"Rudolph is now our first-level researcher. He already has his own team. He has 20 people under him. It won't take long to get his research results." Franklin is still very good. The promotion mechanism of Junma Laboratory also ensures that talents will not be buried.

Li Mu formulated a standardized promotion system for Junma Laboratory. All members of Junma Laboratory can propose their own research ideas. As long as the idea is approved by the Operations Committee, they can form their own research team and the level will be promoted accordingly.

This promotion system was common in the 21st century, but in the 19th century, it had a bit of a "unconventional talent reduction".

You should know that knowledge is still monopolized in the hands of a few people these days, and most people do not have a way to obtain knowledge. Therefore, relatively speaking, the technology industry is a relatively rigid group. In the business world, you can rely on your own efforts to achieve corresponding development and then gain corresponding status, but in the technology industry, this is a group with very serious seniority. Unless you have a special background, you can only follow the unspoken rules step by step.

"How about Father Damien?" Li Mu still remembers the priest who exiled himself for the sake of a group of lepers. Such a person should be respected in any era.

After returning to New York from Hawaii, Li Mu placed Father Damien in the Horse Laboratory. In order to help Father Damien work with peace of mind, Li Mu set up a biological laboratory and hired several researchers at high salaries from Trinity College in Cambridge, England as Father Damien's assistant.

This is definitely a high standard and strict requirement. Cambridge Medical College is currently the only medical school in the world. The graduates there have always been popular among major hospitals. Among the talents hired by Li Mu, there is a man named Miles Williams, who was once a professor at Cambridge Medical College. Such people are qualified to lead a laboratory in any country in the world.

"Mr. Damien is very good, working hard and treating people kindly, but Mr. Father recently wrote a report asking for a church to be built in the laboratory." Although Franklin said it nicely, he had a lot of complaints about the "Mr. Father" who was not doing his job properly.

But this is normal. As a priest, there should be a church. Father Damien deserves his name, otherwise he would become a "traveling monk".

"Can't there be a church in the laboratory?" Li Mu never interferes with the specific operation of the laboratory. Although Franklin is the top leader of the laboratory, the entire Junma Laboratory is actually operated under the management of the Operations Committee, and Franklin cannot make the decision completely.

This operation committee is actually composed of leaders of various institutes under the Junma Laboratory and representatives of researchers. It operates similarly to the US Senate and House of Representatives. When encountering problems, the minority will obey the majority.

"This opening cannot be opened. Father Damien is a Catholic. If a Catholic church is built in the laboratory, should he build an Orthodox church for Orthodox believers? What if Protestantism also makes similar requests? So this kind of thing must be cautious." Franklin did not dare to neglect when it comes to religious issues.

Li Mu didn't think so much. If Franklin said this, it would be a bit too much to say that Buddhist monasteries and mosques would need to be built. This is a scientific laboratory, not a religious expo.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, but you should pay attention to the way of working, and it will not affect Father Damien's enthusiasm for work." As long as it does not affect work, Li Mu has always let it go.

Father Damien's current research direction is still leprosy. Although no results have been made, Li Mu is not in a hurry. This is a work that is beneficial to all mankind and requires Li Mu to maintain great patience.

Of course, speaking of "all mankind" is definitely a high-profile. Li Mu values ​​the benefits brought by the biological industry. Relatively speaking, leprosy does not generate much. Li Mu focuses on the future. When the research on leprosy comes to an end, Li Mu will immediately find a new direction for the biological laboratory.

It may be difficult for others to determine the direction of work, but for Li Mu, this kind of thing is very easy.

The easiest way is to just stockpile some moldy fruits now and then you can find Father Damien the best way to work.

Yes, Li Mu knew that the initial discovery of penicillin was from moldy fruits. As for which fruit it was and the discovery process, Li Mu didn't know.

However, this is exactly the significance of the existence of the biological laboratory. Li Mu proposed a research direction and provided a large amount of funds. If this way, the biological laboratory cannot produce results, then Father Damien deserves to be an unknown person for his whole life.

Even if Father Damien is willing to be unknown, I'm afraid Miles Williams won't.

"Recently, I found that someone was digging our corners. Today, a low-level researcher proposed to resign. It is said that he was going to work in Europe. Although his level is relatively low and it will not have any impact on the research work, I still did not approve it." Franklin casually reported a new situation.

"It's okay to resign, but after resigning, you won't be allowed to do related work within five years. If you can do this, let him leave if you want." Li Mu is not unkind to the human race, but if it is on the premise of damaging the interests of Junma Laboratory, let alone running to Europe, even if he runs to the moon, Li Mu can make people pay the price.
