When Chengcai, the brother-in-law, with a flowery face, came over to Li Tianyang and said the first sentence after checking the wear and tear of the steam engine, it was already more than half an hour after the other party found Li Tianyang.

Li Tianyang admires his brother-in-law's dedication very much, unless it is for scientific research funds, it is usually difficult for Li Tianyang to even find this brother-in-law to talk about family affection, not to mention that this brother-in-law will go outside to harm others because of his current status and the status of Li Tianyang's brother-in-law.

Most of the time, Chen Cai, the president of the R&D Institute, stays in the R&D Institute, and even when it comes to getting married and having children, if it weren't for Li Tianyang and Yumo, the two relatives, who are looking for him all day long, and from hundreds of blind dates, Chengcai finally found an object that he feels about, Li Tianyang is even afraid that the other party will be lonely for the rest of his life.

Later, when Li Tianyang and Chengcai talked to him and asked why he fell in love with the current object, the answer given to him by the other party made him not come back to his senses for a long time, and he even felt a little sorry for this good girl who married his brother-in-law.

"It's not because you introduce me to someone all day long, delaying my time, if I don't choose one of them, I'm afraid you will delay more time!"

"But after getting married, there are still benefits, usually I have to invite someone to clean the house, laundry, now it's good, I don't have to worry about anything at home, I have dinner immediately when I get home, it really saves a lot of time!"

Looking back now, at that time, Li Tianyang and Yumo were still muttering in their hearts, with the identity and appearance of their brother-in-law, how could he choose a poor woman who was five big and three coarse, and spoke and acted neatly, instead of a new generation of women in Bengang who had knowledge and culture.

Thinking about the other party's thinking now, Li Tianyang has to admire his brother-in-law's very different personal thinking.

However, if it weren't for his brother-in-law, who is dedicated to research, to lead the R&D Institute, I am afraid that there would not be so many new and practical new technologies in Hongmen today.

"Let's go to the cafeteria and talk while eating."

Looking at his brother-in-law with a somewhat tired attitude, Li Tianyang put his hand on Chengcai's shoulder very intimately, and asked the other party to lead the way and go to the canteen of the R&D Institute.

"Chengcai, tell me the truth, can this latest generation of steam engines be put into practical use?"

While eating lunch, Li Tianyang talked to Chengcai.

"According to the eyes of our researchers, this fifth-generation steam engine naturally still has many flaws, such as insufficient durability of the machine, unsatisfactory pulling force and so on."

While eating, Chengcai absentmindedly answered Li Tianyang's question, and seemed to be thinking more about the experimental data this morning.

"However, judging from our current raw material constraints and technical problems, although I don't want to admit it, we can't overcome these shortcomings in a short period of time."

"Moreover, although such a machine has been manufactured, there must be defects that we can't find, which needs to be slowly discovered and improved in practice, and it is not that we can change things behind closed doors."

Chengcai is obviously mature, and in the past, as long as he thought that there were still flawed creations, he would always want to achieve what he thought was perfect, and then he would push these new technologies into reality.

However, now Chengcai has understood the consideration between trade-offs, and is no longer the R&D talent who strives for perfection even for a small defect.

Hearing Chengcai's answer, Li Tianyang's heart jumped with joy, which was even more exciting than the fact that he had gone through a lot of hardships to defeat the Spaniards and control the Luzon Islands.

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Li Tianyang said three good words in a row, and the vigorous brilliance on his face was exuded by excitement, and even Chengcai couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

With the strength of Hongmen and the passage of practice, his brother-in-law has become more and more unapproachable many times, although he seems to have a smile on his face most of the time, but no matter who he is, he will always feel a strong sense of oppression and discomfort, but it is really rare to be so happy as today, and even his invisible oppressive force has disappeared because of this.

As a scientific researcher, although Chengcai is very proud of the precision creations that he and the like-minded people around him have spent countless time and energy making, but to be honest, he is only proud, but there are still many ambiguities about the actual use of steam engines.

Only Li Tianyang, who traveled from later generations, learned about the social changes brought about by the emergence of the steam engine, and he was full of excitement and joy for the early appearance of the steam engine in this world.

Of course, more of this excitement comes from this epoch-making masterpiece, which was finally invented in their own hands, and if those Chinese scholars who want to go down in history are afraid that this one side benefit alone will make them squeeze their heads.

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

It wasn't until a long time later that Li Tianyang recovered from his excitement and excitement, but the smile on his face and the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time still made Chengcai and the others feel creepy.

"Hurry up and put the technical report in hand, and then you make a budget to see what kind of cooperation you need me to make to achieve mass production of this steam engine as soon as possible."

After Li Tianyang finally turned around, he turned his head and couldn't wait to instruct Chengcai.

"I'm afraid it's a little difficult to mass produce, the components of the steam engine liner, if you want to achieve a tight fit, you can only rely on us to polish it hand-in-hand, brother-in-law, do you know how much time it took our steam engine to build a pair in the end? Three months, three whole months!! ”

Chengcai is like looking at a madman, in the face of Li Tianyang's request to make an immediate refusal, it is not easy to make a steam engine in advance in this era, and more of it is the strong financial support of Hongmen and the efforts of Chengcai's R&D talents.

But in the same way, the restrictions of this era are also great, the lack of precision manufacturing tools, the congenital shortage of raw materials and other problems, is still a problem in the mass production of steam engines, therefore, don't look at the current Chengcai Their R&D Institute has produced a usable steam engine prototype, but in fact, if you really want mass production, it is still a long, long time ago.
