"Then I'll give you additional funds and raw materials, and the next top priority of your R&D institute is to realize the mass production of steam engines!"

Li Tianyang doesn't care about this, since the first applicable steam engine has appeared, will the second and third steam engines be far away?

"I know that if you want to achieve mass production of steam engines, it is a process that is not inferior to the development of steam engines, and you need to develop more sophisticated manufacturing equipment and more reasonable manufacturing processes from scratch."

"But what I want to tell you is that the appearance of the steam engine will change our entire Hongmen, and even the whole world!!"

Li Tianyang was already crazy, and he didn't even care that this was the peak time for lunch, and in front of hundreds of staff members of the R&D Institute, he described various scenes of the future to Chengcai and Wu Zhe.

"Can you imagine that?"

"Originally, we had a day-long sea route between Bengang and the chicken coop, but with the steam engine, we can install them on the sea boat, and we will completely get rid of the shackles of nature, and keep going back and forth at high speed at any time, and the voyage time will be shortened by at least half."

"With the steam engine, we can build railways, build trains, and travel quickly to and from the town of Keelung, Bengang, and even transport hundreds of thousands of people at a time."

"With the steam engine, we no longer need to weave cloth and silk with one hand and one foot, but can weave countless cloth and silk with a brush and brush in exchange for a large amount of silver!"

“…………”

Li Tianyang Ye didn't care that they didn't know about the creation of later generations such as trains, and whether they could understand their nonsense or not, he had kept the biggest secret in his heart for many years, and after his mind was out of control at this time, he finally revealed one of them to the world.

Chengcai is actually a little blindfolded, he has some resistance to all kinds of whimsical ideas in Li Tianyang's mind, from childhood to adulthood, Li Tianyang's various actions and thoughts are so maverick, which has attracted the brothers and partners of Hongmen's generation, and now he is making a lot of nonsense Although they don't know the specific meaning, it does not prevent Chengcai from fantasizing about the scenes depicted by Li Tianyang.

I have said before that although Chengcai is the primary merit of the steam engine in this era, it is actually limited by his cognition, and the unknown relationship between the use of the steam engine, in fact, Chengcai is proud of the precision of the steam engine, but it is not yet possible to really define the use of the steam engine After being reminded by Li Tianyang, Chengcai suddenly found that the original use of the steam engine is still so extensive, and even involves all aspects of the villagers.

"Okay, give me half a year, I will definitely overcome this difficulty and let the steam engine achieve mass production!"

Cheng Cai stood up suddenly, and made a promise to Li Tianyang with a firm expression.

"Okay, I believe you!!"

Li Tianyang also replied with the other party's trusting look.

However, at this time, the members of the R&D Institute in the canteen were all face down, they knew that their next work would be more arduous and difficult, and under the leadership of the workaholic boss, everyone's life would be desperate.

"However, I need talents, you have to let Lao Zhang give me all the talents of the University Department of Bengang Academy!"

After taking over Li Tianyang's task, Chengcai's brain was not completely stunned by Li Tianyang, and he took the opportunity to ask Li Tianyang for people and things.

"In order to improve muskets, artillery and other dangerous ordnance, as well as the research and development of this steam engine, our research and development institute has also experienced countless failures, not every failure is lucky, although we have paid great attention to safety, but in the past few years we have also lost dozens of outstanding talents, I hope that their bereaved families can be supported by our Hongmen, they must also get the honor they deserve!"

Inventions and creations have never been as beautiful as they are on paper, and behind every creation is a bloody road: Nobel once became disabled because of the development of nitroglycerin, and his brother Yemir died; In order to discover the new element radium, the Curies were both affected by radiation and eventually died early.

The research of Hongmen R&D Institute can not escape this tragedy, muskets, artillery and gunpowder, R&D Institute also attaches great importance to scientific research work, its research history can be said to be the longest in Hongmen, as early as Hongmen was not established, it was only when Tanmen Qixintang, Li Tianyang they have begun to study it.

Up to now, because of the sudden explosion of gunpowder and the explosion of muskets and artillery, it can be said that there are no less than 100 casualties in Hongmen, the most serious of which is less than a year after Li Tianyang's inspection of the R&D Institute, a 64-pounder cannon suddenly exploded, causing the R&D Institute to lose eight outstanding researchers and more than 10 gunners who operated the artillery.

Even the research and development of the steam engine that seems to be relatively dangerous, Chengcai, one of the main personnel, almost dedicated himself to scientific research, in an explosion accident caused by the excessive pressure of the steam engine, Chengcai and a splash debris weighing more than 100 catties passed by, and was directly pushed down into the ground by the air wave it carried.

"This is as it should be, I was negligent, these R&D personnel who sacrificed for our Hongmen are also worthy of all of us' respect and admiration. After I go back, I will ask people to build another monument and cemetery to bury and commemorate the sacrificed talents of our R&D Institute! ”

"As for the matter that you want to transfer talents from the University Department of Bengang Academy, I will definitely urge Zhang Ziyi and them to implement it after I go back. But you also know that the graduation of Bengang Academy has their charter, and I can only guarantee that those students who should have graduated from the university department will join in unconditionally, and those who have not yet graduated, then I can't help them! ”

In the face of all kinds of requirements for Chengcai, Li Tianyang almost agreed to it all, but he was able to disappoint Chengcai a little when it came to students.

The cultivation of talents has always been a gradual process, the population base of Hongmen is not large, the ability to cultivate talents is not strong, except for those talents who are talented in Confucianism, law, etc., really like Chengcai, they have talent for research and development of new creations, in fact, there are not too many.

Bengang Academy is now imitating the R&D Institute, which is not only a tempering of scientific research talents, but also a way for scientific research to be popularized by more people.

On the other hand, the R&D Institute, because too many of the things developed in it are related to the privacy of Hongmen, so it requires a strong sense of confidentiality, which makes Hongmen R&D Institute although it has always been famous, but it basically has no impression among ordinary people, which is not a good thing for the future of Hongmen.
