Zhang Yi first opened people's closed minds and told them ways to solve problems, and then began to solve the steam engine.
Determine the goal and first create a small steam engine that can be installed on a steel armored chariot. Once developed successfully, it can be scaled up to a train type or a battleship type.
Zhang Yi decomposed the structure of the steam engine, and students majoring in mathematics and mechanics made calculations and drew processing drawings of each component. Xiao Han was in charge of this team.
Then, students majoring in materials research alloy steel that meets the requirements, smelt it in the arsenal, and hand-craft it into components. This team is headed by Ironsmith Hu.
At the same time, students majoring in electrical engineering design generators, welding machines and welding materials with reference to books. Xiaolong is in charge of this group.
Xiaoliu is the leader of the logistics team, providing strong support. Whatever is needed can be allocated from the treasury or purchased from the market, with unlimited funds for support.
The four team leaders report the progress to Zhang Yi every day and solve any problems immediately without wasting time.
Zhang Yi set up his office in the Red Building and arrived at 6 o'clock every morning and did not leave until midnight.
Leaders go to the front line and participate in the work of each group without sleep or food. How dare others slack off and immerse themselves in selfless research and development work.
This group of talented boys and girls are full of energy and quick thinking. Their potential is fully mobilized by Zhang Yi, and it is a blast to work.
In order to save time, Xiaoliu arranged for people to deliver meals and water to the red building. The rows of tables beside the wall were also filled with pastries, fruits and drinks.
There is no mention of royal-level treatment.
…
In Zhang Yi's large office, the walls are covered with maps, drawings, and his carefully drawn diagram of the evolution of the industrial era.
Xiao Liu brought a tea set and made tea for Zhang Yi in the office.
"It's no problem, Brother Yi. According to this progress, I think a steam engine will be developed soon." Xiao Liu comforted Zhang Yi with a smile.
He had just gone to participate in a group work, which was temporarily suspended, and he returned to the office to continue to perfect his big idea.
He is the blueprint maker of the industrial age. As long as he clears up the road map, everyone will work in an orderly and efficient manner.
"That's for sure, Liu'er," Zhang Yi sat down at the table, took the wet towel handed over by Xiao Liu, wiped the sweat off his face, and nodded confidently, "Starting from a steam engine, we can create
Everything you want, cars, trains and battleships, ha."
"Haha, hahaha," Xiaoliu said with a smile, and then said worriedly, "Brother Yi, do you think we have too few capable people? Can these dozens of people accomplish so many things?"
"Liu'er, you are so smart and confused for a moment," Zhang Yi drank a cup of fragrant tea and stood up to walk, "This group of young people will be able to take on the heavy responsibility of experts after completing this development task. Everyone will
Can teach hundreds or even thousands of people!”
The hard part is taking the first step.
After forming a system and standards, they can be copied continuously.
For others, it means mastering the skills of operation, repeating simple things, and finally forming a huge scale.
"If we want to start the industrial era, we need to take several steps. The first step is to overcome technical difficulties, which is what we are doing now."
Zhang Yi began to talk eloquently, and Xiao Liu quickly picked up his notebook to record it.
"After we developed the steam engine and electric motor, we laid the foundation for industrialization. Next, we must consider the cultivation of talents and select more young people to learn, master these technologies, and become the technical backbone of different types of factories."
"This is the second step, what about the third step?" Xiao Liu asked.
"The third step is to build infrastructure. The manual manufacturing method is too inefficient. We must build factories and develop machinery and equipment to produce parts. With electric motors, various parts can be produced in an assembly line and then assembled together.
"
"Building factories and building equipment requires a large number of workers," Xiaoliu said.
"That's right, Liu'er, you have followed my thinking," Zhang Yi praised and continued, "The fourth step is that we need to mobilize a large number of agricultural laborers to form a construction team to build the factory.
Dormitories and canteens, as well as water supply and heating facilities. Form a logistics team to transport raw materials and products back and forth. Form a production team to master the equipment proficiently and produce qualified products."
"I understand what you mean, brother-in-law, let's take out the agricultural labor force and turn it into industrial labor force," Xiaoliu asked, "but then, who will farm the land?"
"Hey, Liu'er, there's no need to worry about this," Zhang Yi said casually, "Before, we nationalized all the land and established collective farms, which were connected together. Before the next farming season, our factory will produce
Planters and harvesters driven by steam engines can replace a large amount of manpower with only a small amount of coal and water."
"I understand. This means that many people no longer need to farm, but instead mine coal mines, smelt steel, build railways and bridges, produce cars, trains and warships, etc. Then, we can conquer the world. Yes.
Is that so?" Xiaoliu laughed.
"Yes, next, we must continue to improve our technological level, create better engines and vehicles, connect the world together, and let people live a prosperous life without worries about food and clothing," Zhang Yi said.
"Another golden age?" Xiaoliu asked longingly.
"Yes, but the golden age we created is better than any previous era. It belongs to all mankind and will not be in the hands of a few people." Zhang Yi confirmed.
"In the end, we can go back to Mopan City and live a happy and leisurely life. Hey, can't we do it now?" Xiaoliu suddenly sighed. She felt that her sworn brother would be very tired. In the process, sworn brother would
Put in too much hard work.
"Liu'er, you and I can live a happy and worry-free life at any time," Zhang Yi put his hand on her shoulder and squeezed it gently, "but I think it's better to have fun alone than to have fun together. Don't you want to let
A better world for our children to live in?"
"I think!" Xiaoliu laughed, "That's enough. This reason is enough. Our children should be happier than us. I think we should have many children..."
Zhang Yi likes children and wants to have many children.
The two couldn't help hugging each other and kissing selflessly.
Boom, boom, boom!
At this time, someone knocked on the door hurriedly, then opened the door impatiently and ran in.
It was Xiao Han. Seeing this scene, he was very embarrassed, turned around and ran out again.
