"Mr. Rodolfo Diesel welcomes you to Romania."

At the Bucharest railway station, the chief of the guard, Calust, came to greet the inventor of the diesel engine. After some exchange, Rudolf Diesel learned. This Mr. Caust is the crown prince's chief of guard. This was pleasantly surprised by Rudolf Diesel, who could feel from the attitude of these people that Romania valued him in a way that was not possible in Germany.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wishes to have lunch with Mr. Rodolfo Diesel so that you can feel the warmth of the Romanians." The chief guard explained why he was here.

"I am honored to be invited by His Highness." Rudolf Diesel certainly would not refuse the Crown Prince's invitation. The two were driving in a car on the road to the royal palace.

"Your Excellency the Chief of Guard, don't you know if there is anything I need to pay attention to when I meet the crown prince?" Rudolf Diesel met the royal family for the first time, and asked the chief of the guard with some restraint.

"Your Highness is a very easy-going person, you don't have to pay attention to anything at all." Caluster reassured the inventor.

When the two arrived at the palace, the chief of the guard led Rudolf Diesel all the way to the drawing room, where Rudolf Diesel met Crown Prince Eder, who was waiting for him.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Rudolf Diesel." Eder didn't have any scruples about etiquette, and greeted Rudolf Diesel first.

"I am very grateful to be valued by the crown prince." Rudolf Diesel is not a wood either, and he is also very touched by the fact that the crown prince values him so much. After the two exchanged greetings, Eder also asked about the recent diesel engine inventor's thinking. "Mr. Rudolf Diesel where do you plan to start when you take over the Power Laboratory?"

Rudolf Diesel sat up straight and answered Eder's question. "Your Highness, I intend to continue to improve the diesel engine, I think the diesel engine is powerful and has low fuel consumption, as long as we can make the diesel engine small enough, then it is no problem to install it in the car. And we can also put diesel engines on warships, and many ships are now powered by diesel engines. ”

Eder hears that Rudolf Diesel is still planning to compete with the gasoline engine in the car. As for the marine diesel engine, which can now only be used in small boats, there is no way for large ships yet, and he has not yet said anything about the disadvantages of diesel engines, Eder can only break his illusions on his own.

"We all know the advantages and disadvantages of Rudolf Diesel engines, and we believe that it is impossible to use diesel engines in passenger cars under the current technological conditions. It is noisy, vibrating, larger and heavier than a gasoline engine, and has higher material requirements, which will be more expensive than a gasoline engine. You need to warm up before you can use it in winter, and you know that very well. ”

Rudolf Diesel looked at Crown Prince Edel and kept talking about the shortcomings of diesel engines, and he couldn't help but ask. "Then what does Your Highness think the diesel engine should develop, don't you ask me to rest."

Eder could hear Rudolf Diesel's displeasure. Said to him with a smile. "There are many advantages of diesel engines, you see long life, good durability, good terrain adaptation, high safety factor, diesel is not easy to catch fire. I think it's a good choice to move on to military vehicles and agricultural vehicles. Marine power can be used as a long-term target. What we need to do now is to make diesel engines widely available, and passenger cars are not possible now. ”

Rudolf Diesel fell silent when he heard the Crown Prince's words. Now he knows Eder a lot. After thinking about the crown prince's proposal, I found that it was really a good direction.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I was too impulsive just now. I didn't expect you to have such a high level of awareness of diesel engines, which I didn't expect before. Rudolf Diesel thanked Eder for showing him the way.

"You're too polite, Rudolf Diesel, in fact, you can find these directions by thinking differently." Eder told Rudolf Diesel that this is the experience of the afterlife, can it be bad, it has all come this way.

"It's me who was too anxious to notice."

After some conversation, the two both felt that each other was good. Eder knew Rudolf Diesel had a good understanding of power plants. Rudolf Diesel was impressed by the Crown Prince's extraordinary vision.

After having lunch together, Eder takes Rudolf Diesel to the Power Lab. The staff of the laboratory had known for a long time that Rudolf Diesel was coming today, and they all wanted to see the diesel engine inventor. But when the crown prince personally brought Rudolf Diesel here, everyone could feel that the crown prince valued him.

"Your Highness, Mr. Diesel, this is our studio." Earlier, Molonir's assistant pointed to the usual place of work and spoke to the crown prince and Rudolf Diesel . He was also a clever man, otherwise he would not have been promoted to assistant by Molloniel.

"Diesel, what do you think of this lab?" Eder turned his head to ask Rudolf Diesel about the two of them becoming friends after a good conversation. Now Eder is making a statement to the people in the lab, and now the king of Europe has no friends in the scientific community.

"Your Highness, this laboratory is much better than my previous one, and the equipment is well maintained, and I believe that a good engine will be made here soon." Rudolf Diesel replied to the crown prince that he was still very aware that he needed to make a performance and let everyone see that he was worthy of the crown prince's attention.

"Diesel, I'm here to congratulate you in advance on your good results." The crown prince spoke words of praise to Rudolf Diesel . After saying that, he turned around on a whim and spoke to the staff in the laboratory. "You all know him."

"I've seen photos in newspapers before, but I'm only seeing me now."

"I used to only know names, but now I know them."

For a while, the scientific researchers here were talking nonsense, and Edel looked at the lively scene with a little embarrassment, and saw a table standing on it next to him, signaling everyone to be quiet, and people saw the gesture of the crown prince and quieted down.

"We all know who he is, now let your new director, Rudolf Diesel, give you a few words?" The crown prince finally got the desired result.

"Okay."

Rudolf Diesel knew that this was the crown prince building momentum for him, and he did not politely stand on the table and talk to the people below. "I'm not here to be a savior, I just want to work with everyone to make our power lab bigger. We want the whole of Europe to know that our laboratory is an indispensable part of European dynamics, and everyone has no confidence. ”

"Yes." The people below replied to him loudly.

"Diesel's words are very inspiring, and I want you to do your best. However, I still have something to do, so I can only go first. Eder said to Rudolf Diesel.

"Yes, Your Highness, thank you for sending me here today. I'll send you, Crown Prince. "Rudolf Diesel offered to send the crown prince out.

"No, you need to know your subordinates now, so I won't bother." After saying that, the crown prince left with his guards. Hear two researchers talking as they pass with their backs to him. "In Germany, Fritz Haber invented 'synthetic ammonia,' which is amazing."

Edel heard that this 'synthetic ammonia' seemed to have been mentioned in a previous life, but Edel continued to walk out quietly, intending to return to the palace and call someone to investigate.

After the crown prince left, Molonier's aides asked Rudolf Diesel where he planned to attack. "What were you guys doing before?" The assistant spoke out about the small agricultural diesel engine that Eder had requested.

Rudolf Diesel said. "Then let's start with that."
