After Eder got the good news, he rushed to the power lab in the suburbs the next day.

The crown prince saw Rudolf Diesel greeting him at the door of the laboratory. The crown prince did not wait for them to finish their salute, but stepped forward with a smile on his face and took Diesel by the hand. "Mr. Diesel is the inventor of the diesel engine, and he developed a practical small oil extractor so quickly."

In the face of such an enthusiastic performance of the crown prince, Diesel was a little caught off guard, and was obviously stunned after being held by the crown prince. After all, he has been a businessman, and he reacted quickly and pulled the crown prince with a smile on his face. "All of this was done under the vision of the crown prince, and the efforts of many colleagues in the laboratory were indispensable."

Eder listened as Diesel gave the credit to everyone, and it seemed that he had finally realized his specialty.

"But without you, Rudolf Diesel, none of this would have gone so well, and the honor should be yours." After he finished speaking, Edel concluded.

After saying this, Edel smiled and said to Diesel. "We can't boast a day at the door, Diesel."

Reminded by the crown prince, Diesel hurriedly said. "Your Highness, please."

The group walked into the laboratory, and under the leadership of Diesel, Eder saw the newly built diesel engine in a power experiment warehouse.

"Bithrow, you come and introduce your Highness to our new machine." Diesel said to a young scientist in his thirties behind him. Edel saw the researcher named Bithrow standing next to the diesel engine and began to talk endlessly.

"Your Highness, please see, this is the latest achievement of our power laboratory, the twenty-eight horsepower twin-cylinder in-line diesel engine, its maximum output speed is 1850, maximum power: 18.6 (Kw), rated frequency: 50 (Hz), the diesel engine is counterclockwise rotation, four-stroke water cooled, the cylinder diameter is 117 mm, and the total weight is 306 kg. Since this diesel engine consumes only 5.4 kg of fuel per hour, we can install it on the vehicle and replace it with other power equipment. ”

After hearing the explanation of the researcher in front of him, Edel thought to himself. Diesel still doesn't seem to be too desperate for using diesel engines in vehicles, and he wants to sell it to the crown prince when he finds an opportunity.

"What is the trouble-free working time of this diesel engine now?" Eder didn't care about anything else, and asked directly about reliability.

After hearing the crown prince's question, the scientist named Bithlot replied with a little flicker. "Due to our less testing, the diesel engine now has a trouble-free operating time of 310 hours."

After hearing his words, Eder spoke his mind. "This is not good, your trouble-free working time must be extended, the main installation object of this diesel engine is agricultural machinery, where there will not be too high maintenance means, if this level is now, there is no way to vigorously develop, users will not buy it."

After saying that, Eder asked Diesel beside him. "This diesel engine costs much more than a gasoline engine with the same efficiency."

When Diesel heard Edel's words, he pondered for a moment. "Now due to the higher requirements of diesel engines for cylinders and various components, this is 20%-30% more expensive than gasoline engines with the same horsepower. However, since we are a new type of diesel engine, we have not yet completed the improvement of reliability. But give me three months to reach a practical standard. ”

After hearing Diesel's words, Eder had a certain understanding of this diesel engine. There are still a lot of problems with the management, but he is very optimistic about the early stage of this diesel engine. Diesel took out this diesel engine, which has not yet been fully put into practical use, probably because he felt his own pressure.

Since the establishment of this power laboratory, Eder has invested nearly seven million lei in research and development, especially since Diesel took office, they have not been short of funds. Whether it is the materials or personnel needed, the crown prince tries to meet them. Now it's the most expensive unit in Edel's hands.

"Now I am more satisfied with this diesel engine, but the reliability of the oil extractor is the advantage, and you need to continue to work hard. After improving this diesel engine, the most important thing for you is to ensure that the research and development of the diesel engine continues. ”

Edel speaks to Diesel. Now Eder just wants to do a good job in the production of agricultural machinery and lay the groundwork for some kind of weapon in the future.

"We have the same intention after we finish this work. I want to divide the power room into three groups, and specialize in the detailed study of small diesel engines, large diesel engines, and marine diesel engine models. ”

"Diesel, I will fully support what you said, and I also hope that the development of science and technology can blossom in Romania." Edel cheers Diesel up.

"It's really an honor for me to meet Your Highness." Diesel expressed his feelings to Eder.

After exchanging feelings, Edel left the power lab and returned to the palace after inquiring about other progress.

"Go and get Elder Edri over." Upon returning to the palace, Edel called one of the guards and gave orders. When the guard found the chief of Edri, he saw that the old king was also there, and was about to retreat, but was seen by Carol I, who had good eyesight.

"Come in."

With the old king's order, Edel's squire walked in in a proper manner. After a bow, he spoke. "I've seen Your Majesty."

As soon as King Carol saw the squire's movements, he knew that he was not looking for him. Then it's to find the manager of Edri, "Tell me what the crown prince has to do with Edri." ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know." The guard faced the old king like a lamb looking at a lion. The ruler of the lion did not make any movement, but the lamb himself felt a trembling heart.

"Edri, go over and take a look, I guess it's about funding again." Carol I said to the Governor who stood meticulously beside him.

Now most of the royal family's funds are invested in industry, although the invested funds have developed well, but this practice of betting all the funds still makes the old king a little incomprehensible. In his understanding, eggs cannot be put in one basket, and the current approach of the crown prince is the opposite of the teaching material.

After the old king had finished speaking, Steward Edri followed the guards to Edel's office.

"Your Highness, may I ask what you have to say?"

"How much money do we have now?" The crown prince asked his most important questions. The diesel engine is almost complete, and the construction of a diesel engine factory should also be put on the agenda.

After hearing the Crown Prince's words, Adri thought carefully and spoke. "Your Highness, now we can only repay the loan, and we can't draw out the money. The only money left was an emergency reserve of 4 million lei (about £200,000). ”

After hearing the words of the manager, Eder could only give up his plan and wait for the harvest of the rubber crisis.

(Lack of updates and flat storytelling are indeed Mantou's mistakes.) But I'll try to correct it, and I'll ask you to give me some time. ）
