The theoretical system for manufacturing nuclear weapons has been fully taught, the Nuclear Weapon Research Institute has begun to be built, and Li Changfeng has finally gotten idle.
Of course, even though the relevant theories were taught, Li Changfeng was only half aware of nuclear weapons. Fortunately, he had read relevant popular science books and videos in his previous life. But if he wanted to create real nuclear weapons, he didn't know that it would be possible to do it in the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
Of course, I want to get a starting point.
What if it succeeds?
Then, Li Changfeng began to inspect all industries under his command. Except for the beer and barbecue city that was not particularly popular due to the weather, the other industries were all very good business.
Especially Hudilao Hot Pot, it is simply a huge hit.
Li Changfeng makes money every day.
In addition to the eight major families, the whole Dakan is now the richest.
The temperature is warming up, the snow melts, and the warm spring is in sight.
Li Changfeng went to the vegetable planting base and had in-depth exchanges with the old farmers with rich planting experience. He decided to open a test field to prepare for planting sweet potatoes.
After arranging these, Li Changfeng inspected the artillery and musket manufacturing factory again.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Li Changfeng got idle and returned to the leisurely days when he slept until he woke up naturally.
This day.
Li Changfeng was basking in the sun in his mansion. Liang Dafu sent someone to invite him to the research institute, but he didn't say anything about it.
Li Changfeng thought that there were some theoretical problems encountered in nuclear weapons research, so he did not delay riding a fast horse at all. However, he found that it was not a problem in nuclear weapons research.
Liang Dafu looked excited: "Your Highness, there has been a major breakthrough in the steam engine research!"
Li Changfeng was happy and then felt helpless: "I said Lao Liang, didn't I tell you that I have all my energy on nuclear weapons research. Why are you working on steam engines again?"
"Your Highness, according to your nuclear weapons manufacturing theory, the process of purifying radioactive elements requires a lot of mechanical kinetic energy to help achieve it. How can you do without a steam engine?"
"Uh... OK."
Li Changfeng was speechless.
Mechanical power is indeed required for screening and separation of radioactive element minerals.
Moreover, the power provided by the steam engine is probably far from enough.
Li Changfeng's brain was running rapidly and began to consider the feasibility of internal combustion engines and motor manufacturing.
However, the progress of nuclear weapons research is still in the process of verification of the theoretical system, and Li Changfeng did not think much about which step he was still far away.
"Tell me, what major breakthrough has the steam engine made."
Li Changfeng was a little excited.
What tricks can the steam engine come up with again?
Liang Dafu was very excited and pointed to a huge object covered with white cloth in the distance: "Your Highness, follow me!"
As he said that, he ran over quickly and lifted the white cloth.
Li Changfeng, who was originally indifferent to interest, suddenly widened his eyes.
"This...is...steam car?!"
In front of me is an iron monster about two zhang long, ten zhang high, and ten zhang wide.
The front of the car is an improved steam engine, with a workshop in the middle of the car body and a cargo box at the rear, filled with coal.
There are three seats on the roof.
There is a single seat in front, with something like a steering wheel, and many joysticks, which are obviously the driving position.
There is nothing special about the two seats in the back, obviously it is a passenger seat.
The four thick wheels below are made of metal all over. The surface of the wheels is deliberately added with special patterns during forging, which is obviously used to increase friction.
In terms of styling, this car is very weird and the driving position is too high.
The only advantage is that the vision is very good.
Li Changfeng was a little confused.
I didn’t have any information about steaming cars in my previous life. I only remember that the first car was a horizontal single-cylinder two-stroke gasoline engine. I forgot who invented it.
Now Liang Dafu actually created a steam car?!
Can this thing really run?
Seeing Li Changfeng's confused look on his face, Liang Dafu became even more excited and introduced him with a dance.
"Your Highness, I have already tried this car and can run! It's just that the speed is a bit slow. I haven't figured out the transmission you mentioned. I can only control the speed by adjusting the steam pressure! There is also some problem with the brakes, which is the same as
Ground friction makes parking!”
"Steering is also a problem. The angle is too small and the turning radius is a bit troublesome. By the way, there is no reverse gear. I have a new idea of this. You can hang reverse gear without a transmission..."
Liang Dafu introduced him with a very fast speech. The more Li Changfeng listened, the more he admired him.
He is simply a scientific research genius!
Li Changfeng thought of a question.
Didn’t Liang Dafu ask him to study steam trains?
Why did he get a car?
Li Changfeng asked this question.
Liang Dafu looked helpless.
"Your Highness, do you know how much scrap steel is based on your steam train's idea? Do you need steel in the continuous manufacturing of artillery? Do you need steel in muskets? You are now going to engage in nuclear weapons and also need a large amount of steel, with such a large gap,
Where is the extra steel for steam trains?”
"All right."
Li Changfeng was speechless.
He decided to use the money to continue to expand the scale of the steel mill. There are indeed many places to use steel in the future, and the smelting of other metal materials must be carried out quickly.
If he wants to create nuclear weapons, it now seems that he has to start promoting the industrialization process of Daqian alone.
Liang Dafu was busy calling out the workers.
"What are you doing when you are standing there? Let's burn the fire! Your Highness is about to test the drive!"
"Try to add as much coal as possible in the trunk, don't lose power halfway!"
"Also, move the water tank up and be ready to replenish it at any time!"
"If someone opens the road ahead, it's not OK to brake this thing. It's so important that even a god can't save it if it hits a human and a god!"
Under Liang Dafu's arrangement, the steam engine quickly started to run and made a crackling sound. As time goes by, the crackling frequency becomes higher and higher.
Liang Dafu's expression became more and more excited.
Last time he only had a short-distance test, but he didn't go long because of the transmission shaft and wheels.
Now that these two fatal flaws have been improved, he believes there will be no more problems.
He knew that this would be an invention that would be enough to change history.
Infected by Liang Dafu's emotions, Li Changfeng was also somewhat looking forward to it.
After a while, the steam engine power peaked.
Liang Dafu bowed and said, "Your Highness, please?"
Li Changfeng laughed loudly: "Okay!"
After climbing the ladder to the driving position, Liang Dafu also followed, introduced the functions of each joystick in detail, and repeatedly reminded Li Changfeng to pay attention to safety and jumped down.
"Your Highness, you can set out!"
"good!"
Li Changfeng laughed loudly and pushed down the forward pole.
Bang!
With a violent and harsh sound of gear meshing, the car body slowly moved.
Crack Crack Crack!
Li Changfeng's eyes lit up.
Really moved!
He tried to hit the ground.
Very hard and astringent.
It requires very high arm strength and ordinary people cannot move it.
Due to the inadequate technology of the steering shaft, the steering angle is very small.
However, it is already amazing to be able to turn, and this car is already handleable.
The speed is a bit slow, barely reaching the speed of ordinary people walking.
However, Li Changfeng could feel that the speed was still increasing slowly.
He said to the people in the workshop below: "Add coal and increase motivation!"
