In the design process of the aircraft, the researchers slowly found that the performance of the aircraft, the concentrated embodiment, is on the engine, the performance of the engine, directly determines many indicators of the aircraft, without an exact engine, many projects can not be carried out, some estimated things, it is difficult to be designed, which is also the fundamental reason for the previous research dystocia.

Something that is completely designed is confusing for the designer, and it is not over until the internal combustion engine is made.

The production of the internal combustion engine means that the design work of the aircraft has taken a big step forward, as long as the data of the internal combustion engine can be achieved, the aircraft can be made.

The internal combustion engine produced for the first time, his data in all aspects, relatively speaking, is too low, not enough to exist as an aircraft engine.

Due to Zhao Xin's guidance, to a certain extent, the speed of development is very fast, the prototype of the internal combustion engine made for the first time, the power has been quite strong, compared with the first internal combustion engine in history, I don't know how much stronger, and even compared with the commercial production of the internal combustion engine, the performance indicators in all aspects are also a lot better, but for the aircraft, there are still some deficiencies.

In principle, this internal combustion engine is a relatively low-level product, before only considering the problem of whether there is a problem, now there is, there is a direction of development, to no need to worry, the performance of the current internal combustion engine is too low, not enough to support the needs of the aircraft, I hope that the internal combustion engine laboratory will make adjustments, and the production department is suitable for the internal combustion engine needs of the aircraft.

As long as the performance of the internal combustion engine is improved, there is also the gradual development of the internal combustion engine, which is inevitable, and he will promote the gradual development of the aircraft.

When the aircraft laboratory just appeared, there were still doubts about whether the aircraft could be produced, even if there was data provided by Zhao Xin, this doubt was very high.

But now when the design of the internal combustion engine is completed, this kind of energy may not be as large as the steam engine in terms of overall energy, and it is much better than the steam engine in terms of fuel used, explosiveness, and miniaturization, which is the advantage of the internal combustion engine.

After a simple calculation and an unachievable data, the people of the Aircraft Research Institute were not discouraged, but invested more enthusiasm, and by the way, asked the Internal Combustion Engine Research Institute to provide more high-quality internal combustion engines.

However, I did not get a reply from the Institute of Internal Combustion Engines, the reason is very simple, the prototype of the steam engine, when it came out, how huge it was, and there were many application fields, among which, the part belonging to the aircraft, was the most insignificant one, the smallest research direction.

As a power device that only appeared in the depth of the industrial revolution, the importance of the internal combustion engine, Zhao Xin is very clear, this is after the steam engine, the second power has to break through, whether it is power, or energy efficiency ratio,

It's much higher than the average steam engine,

This can be seen from the first generation of internal combustion engines, the superiority of this internal combustion engine over the steam engine, the most important thing is that he does not use coal, but oil, which alone has a huge difference.

If you don't talk about the unit of heat, let's just say that fuel oil is liquid and coal is solid, you can know that its weight, the same cubic meter, they are much lighter than coal in terms of weight, that is to say, the same weight of oil equipped with it, the final heat generated is far above coal.

At the same time, heavy oil in the explosive performance, far higher than coal, in the case of World War I battleships, at the beginning, their speed was relatively low, only after the modification of heavy oil units, to promote the speed of a large-scale rise.

The internal combustion engine is such a device, the greater use, not on the aircraft, according to the standards of later generations, large machinery and equipment, this is the real direction of the use of the internal combustion engine, that is, in the great development of the internal combustion engine, mining machinery, large loading machinery, and automobiles, which makes railways, shipping, short-distance transportation, form a network, this is the real use of the internal combustion engine.

Mining machinery, large power units, and cranes, including a series of equipment, if they are developed, will promote the efficiency of all aspects of the navy.

In fact, the efficiency of naval construction and production is already very high, but the participation of motor vehicles and large machinery will definitely make this efficiency even higher.

After all, compared with simple manpower, the improvement brought by machinery will be higher, for example, take the excavator as an example, the excavator digs the earthwork with a shovel, it may be more than ten or twenty workers, working continuously for a day, or even more efficient.

Not to mention other machinery, this will increase the overall efficiency of the Dinghai Navy many times, this is the biggest part of the improvement of the entire Dinghai, the internal combustion engine control machinery, the field of adaptation, much higher than the steam engine, almost everywhere.

Zhao Xin still has a fixed navy, which will almost inevitably lean towards the engine, but it does not mean that Zhao Xin does not value the aircraft, otherwise, he will not lean in this direction.

Zhao Xin's early intervention, the aircraft was also a separate project, and a certain amount of money was invested, which is relatively important, but compared with those, there are still some gaps, and even the investment in scientific research personnel is relatively large, but this aircraft project has invested a lot, but it is not the most important level.

The status of the internal combustion engine, others do not know, of course Zhao Xin is very clear, after knowing the news of the successful development of the internal combustion engine, but also came to see the results, Zhao Xin carefully checked the internal combustion engine project, looked at the entire prototype, as well as the practical internal combustion engine.

As expected, this internal combustion engine is really very rough, not to mention the power compared with the steam engine, but also the overall structure and stability, there are certain differences.

This is a kind of product, after the initial appearance, the inevitable result, this is a very normal concept, epoch-making items, he just appeared at the time, always accompanied by huge controversy, for example, the most developed period of bronze, iron appeared, in the initial iron, whether it is performance, or all aspects, can not compare to bronze, at that time iron was still small-scale production, Seiko built sophisticated equipment, not popular equipment.

When the Qin Dynasty unified China, the weapons of the main body were all bronze, and iron tools had appeared in the south very early, but they had not been cast and smelted on a large scale, that is, they appeared in a small range in Wuyue, which did not have much impact on the general trend of the entire Warring States period.

But in the end, iron replaced bronze, because he has unlimited development prospects, constantly strengthening the process, from the very beginning, small-scale building, to large-scale building, and then to the quality improvement, this point, it is necessary to say that the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty is the era of cold forging, the iron of the Northern Song Dynasty, almost the whole world, but encountering more unreasonable, and stronger nomads.

The internal combustion engine is to replace the existence of the steam engine, in the 21st century, the number of steam engines is almost rare, and the whole is replaced by the internal combustion engine, which is enough to see his superiority.

At this node, the internal combustion engine has just appeared, and it is not a natural research, he appeared under Zhao Xin's suggestion and after the overall design, almost Zhao Xin forcibly promoted it.

As an infant internal combustion engine, compared with the steam engine, that is the difference between a baby and an adult, the steam engine has gone through nearly 10 years of development, in the current scientific and technological environment of the Dingjun, such a long time of development, as well as the use of various practical technologies, the steam engine has been quite mature.

No matter how mature, however, it represents the direction of future development, now, the internal combustion engine is a baby, but the future and the direction of development is unlimited, not to mention growing up as an adult, even if it is just a teenager, you can beat the steam engine, and even in some specific fields, the internal combustion engine has established an advantage, such as in the field of flight.

Zhao Xin may not understand some of the principles of the internal combustion engine, but he knows that some things of the internal combustion engine, later generations, can be regarded as a car family, although it is said that in the imperial capital, the car family is not rich, the basic theory, still know, can be thought of, or can not be thought of, all included in the internal combustion engine research institute.

What spark plugs, what strokes, what gears, what four-cylinder four-chambers, these perhaps, he knows a little bit of cramming indoctrination, but it is equivalent to saying that it is a shining point, where are the engineers who are proficient in researching, but they are treasures that cannot be changed, as long as they figure out the overall structure, they can be made, without spending a lot of time to figure out, which method to use, a little better.

Zhao Xin's arrival is very critical for the internal combustion engine, only part of the things he proposed before have been used for the internal combustion engine, and there are many more, because he didn't understand what Zhao Xin meant, he didn't use it.

Now, Zhao Xin arrived, to guide how to use these things, maybe a lot, are chickens and ducks talking, listening to the same things as the book of heaven, but a small part, but it will give great stimulation to the designer, they suddenly seem to open a door, this door, even if it is incomplete, not very perfect, but after all, he is a door, will have a lot of inspiration for the designer.

Similarly, Zhao Xin also brought the latest progress in materials, which are related to the important scientific research fields of the Dinghai Navy in the future, and only the most core researchers, as well as the high-level of science and technology, know that before, when the internal combustion engine was not successfully developed, it was not qualified to know all the high-precision materials.

Now, with the successful development of the internal combustion engine, in a sense, the sequence of the internal combustion engine, not to say that it exceeds those high-precision materials, but at least, it should be at the same grade, which does not have the problem of confidentiality, are the most high-end projects, and even the internal combustion engine project is a little higher, to get the main indicators of these formulas and metals, it is inevitable to talk about it.

Metals, different properties, different properties, in the internal combustion engine performance is different, because of the order of development, the materials used in the internal combustion engine, is not the best, not the most cutting-edge, with more expensive materials, replace the current materials, which will definitely promote, the performance of the internal combustion engine has increased significantly.

Dingjun has just successfully developed the internal combustion engine, the internal combustion engine is still in the most primitive state, the performance indicators of the internal combustion engine, there is still a great possibility of improvement, as long as you are gradually familiar with the internal combustion engine, familiar with the theory and development of each step of his implementation, and improve the performance of the internal combustion engine, it is not difficult.

These two aspects go hand in hand, as long as they are carefully studied and enough resources are invested, the development speed of the internal combustion engine will be very fast, perhaps, this newborn baby will soon thrive, and even in a short period of time, it will come in handy.

In addition to promoting the improvement of the internal combustion engine itself, Zhao Xin also used his understanding of the history of later generations to make a simple classification of the internal combustion engine, and divided the development direction of the internal combustion engine into three directions, and the focus of the three directions is different.

The internal combustion engine, in the use of different methods, there are different ways of use, in later generations, has been divided into different parts, classified quite fine, now, the level of science and technology of the navy, has not reached such a fine degree, but simple, according to the way of use, a classification, there should be no problem, this will also promote the side of the internal combustion engine, to the development of specialization.

The first one, miniaturization, of course, is aimed at the small range of use, reducing the power, from the current standard power, reducing, as much as possible to narrow and simplify the result, to reach a certain standard, this look, is for motor vehicles to prepare.

The more powerful the internal combustion engine, the more powerful the machinery it can propel, but in the beginning, only small motor vehicles were the easiest to achieve and more efficient.

The second large-scale and heavy-duty, this increase of enough power, is for heavy-duty vehicles, of course, at present, a series of equipment such as hydraulics have not been fully realized, more for the train to prepare.

The third is to reduce the weight as much as possible under the premise of a certain weight or gradual reduction, which is known at a glance and is prepared for aircraft.

Zhao Xin divided the research of the internal combustion engine into three different parts, which have different focuses, but there is a little bit that the original internal combustion engine research institute is a little inadequate.

When the person in charge raised this question, his wish was soon fulfilled, and a series of personnel were transferred from the Steam Engine Research Institute, the Transmission Research Institute, and the Metal Research Institute.

In this way, not to mention the division into three research institutes, even if it is four or five, there is no problem, a large number of personnel in place, the construction of a new structure, so that the internal combustion engine research institute has changed very much, with the previous foundation, divided into three, the speed of research is also accelerating, and soon, it can produce results, the era of internal combustion engines, is coming.
