"Platoon commander. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Zheng Zhong shouted loudly. But it was too late. Several Chu soldiers had already inserted their bayonet muskets into the platoon commander's chest, and the platoon commander died heroically.

"Damn." An enraged Zheng Zhong retreated and quickly turned around and shot, hoping to replace his anger with angry bullets. However, he had too few bullets. And the Chu army was too numerous, and they kept rushing over, and Zheng Zhong had no choice but to retreat while fighting.

"General, these people are the new army of South Korea." A lieutenant reports.

"Hmm. Didn't think of it. It turned out to be the new army of South Korea, how could they come to the country of Qi and start a war with us? Nangong Suo asked in understanding. However, no one answered, and they didn't know the news that Jimo City had been taken by the Han army, and their only current task was to escort those expensive goods to Wei as soon as possible, and then sell them to other countries, and he didn't ask about anything else.

"But, General, their guns are special." As he spoke, the lieutenant handed the captured gun to Nangong Suo.

"Oh." Nangong Suo took it curiously and took a look.

"It's weird indeed. This gun is much more refined than ours, and besides, there is no fire door. Nangong Suo said after reading it. For them, a gun without a fire door is very incomprehensible.

"General, this kind of small gun has just been tried. It's this all-copper bullet, which is very expensive. But the range and power of the bullets fired are much better than the weapons in our hands. The lieutenant continued.

"Hmm. We've already learned about it. Nangong Suo said.

"This weapon is too powerful. However, the price is also high, after all, such a bullet would cost a lot of money, which is something we never dared to think of before. Nangong Suo said.

"Forget it. This kind of thing can only be seized. In the future, when we have money, we will also have such weapons, and now, we can solve more problems by catching these people and catching them. Nangong Suo said.

"Alright. Let's all go and arrest someone. Be careful not to get shot in the head. Nangong Suo said at this time.

"Yes. Checkmate. The crowd was ordered to move. Nangong Suo also began to hide, after all, he was not very safe at this time. Those soldiers of the South Korean New Army kept releasing their guns, which made many people feel very worried, they understood that their lives were in the hands of others at this time, and after hearing Nangong Suo's order, many people intuitively began to search and pursue other South Korean New Army. For a time, a large number of Chu soldiers ran back and forth around a transport team to capture those South Korean New Army soldiers, and once they were caught, they would inevitably be treated cruelly, after all, such a cold gun was the most immoral thing for them.

Qinguo Xianyang University, in the investment office of the Machinery Research Laboratory.

"What I'm going to introduce is my latest research on turbocharging technology." Qin Fang said with a smile.

"As we all know, the key and core of a locomotive is the engine. Having a very powerful engine can solve a lot of problems, after all, having such a platform is very important for our development. Qin Fang said with a smile.

"However, research, upgrading the engine requires a lot of research costs, and sometimes the power cannot be improved, but the weight of the engine is increased, which is a waste of important weight for locomotives and aircraft, so as to do so. The foundation of this platform will be very weak, which is very detrimental to our future development. Qin Fang introduced with a smile. He is very confident in his turbocharging technology, because he believes that in the current situation, Qin urgently needs more new technologies to improve the power of the engine, but the study of high-horsepower engines is not a simple thing, which requires materials, engineering machining, and so on to overcome, this is definitely not a small matter, it costs a lot of things, it is possible to invest funds in the end to get any research results, Qin in order to get a high-horsepower engine, think of a lot of ways, A lot of companies are looking into it. And in order to solve this problem. Many university laboratories are working on such a thing. Qin Fang is one such research student.

"Hmm. Let's talk about your research, we all know the importance of engines. An investor said impatiently. He's been sitting all morning. He thinks that many projects are very good, but these projects require continuous investment of funds to solve the problem, but the current funds are tight after all, so in investment projects, especially in these science and technology. Investors are generally quite cautious. Too radical technology will give up first, after all, the probability of failure is too great.

"Good. To put it simply. My solution is to increase the air intake of the engine, which increases the power and torque of the engine. In this way, the engine will be more powerful. Saying that, Qin Fang introduced.

"Here's a diagram I made." As he spoke, Qin Fang took out the schematic diagram he had drawn and explained.

"As we all know, the engine outputs power by burning fuel in the cylinder, and the amount of fuel input is limited by the amount of air drawn into the cylinder, so the power output of the engine is also limited. If the engine is already running at its best, increasing the output can only increase the amount of fuel by compressing more air into the cylinders, thereby increasing the combustion function. Therefore, under the existing technical conditions, the turbocharger is the only mechanical device that can increase the output power of the engine under the same working efficiency. Qin Fang explained solemnly. He introduced it with a very serious academic aspect.

"A turbocharger is mainly composed of a turbine chamber and a supercharger. The first is that the air intake in the turbine chamber is connected to the engine exhaust manifold, which in turn is connected to the exhaust pipe. Then the air intake of the supercharger is connected to the air filter duct, the exhaust port is connected to the air intake pipe, and finally the turbine and impeller are installed in the turbine chamber and the supercharger respectively, and the two are connected coaxially and rigidly. This is the turbocharging device. Qin Fang said.

"Sorry to excuse me." That's when the investor said.

"This turbocharging technology of yours, in my opinion, has some conflicts with some technical patents. Actually, this thing is an air compressor. "Investors directly named the essence of turbocharging.

"This kind of thing, many people are engaged in, if you do it like this, it is easy to infringe, and you have to go through the legal path, which is very time-consuming, and I don't think there is a need for investment in such a thing." At this time, the investor said impatiently. Maybe it was because of the relationship that sat all morning, or because he really had some understanding of such things, so in the end, the investor unceremoniously kicked Qin Fang out.

"This. My project is my own research, you listen to me, I know, there are many people working on such air compressors, however, they don't have samples, I have samples, with such samples, I can apply for a patent, this is definitely a good technology, as long as you put it into production, there is absolutely no problem. Qin Fang then persuaded the other party to arrive.

"It's useless, I know this thing, many people are researching, but there is no way. That's what this stuff is. As he spoke, the investor waved his arm to signal that the next project could come in. The investor confirmed that there is no need to continue to invest in this project, after all, there are many things to study in this area, the main thing is that the turbocharging technology is not mature enough, although there are already samples, but such samples still have a lot to be desired. Therefore, investors know very well that they simply cannot use such technology, and the private sector will not spend more money for high-powered cars. As long as it's a car, it's fine. In many places, such as some countries in the Central Plains, there are very few places where locomotives are used, and many places still use ox carts, and better places are horse-drawn carriages. The roads are much better for horse-drawn carriages and some locomotives. And turbocharging technology, apparently, is a little early for folk technology.

Besides. The people are very troubled by such a high-horsepower technology, although they also hope to have a high-horsepower engine to solve the power problem of the car, but the problem is that the demand for this technology is not very large. After all, locomotives have only been promoted for a few years. The most intensive place where Qin uses locomotives is Guanzhong in Qin, and you really don't have such a big demand in other places, in this case, turbocharging technology does not have much market, and it is no wonder that investors are not interested in such technology at all.

"Damn." After Qin Fang was blasted out, he complained loudly. All his technology was prepared for the development of turbochargers, and he finally had a sample of his own, but there was no way, such technology could not get the investment of those engine manufacturers, and it did not get investment, which meant that his research was in vain. He's going to spend a considerable amount of time on this, and that's something he absolutely doesn't want to see.

"Damn it." Qin Fang complained. He has studied a lot of disciplines in order to study this technology. From materials to power, he learned engineering on his own. He didn't come from a professional background, he was an apprentice, and he studied these things because of his love of machinery. But what I didn't expect was that no one would use such a technology. If no one had given him the investment to use such technology, he would not have the funds to research it. He could lose everything because he did all the research himself. Sometimes he had to go to the machine shop to work on some important parts, and then come back and work on his turbocharging technology.

"Are you Qin Fang?" That's when it happened. A voice came from behind Qin Fang.

"Oh. Yes, I am. I'm Qin Fang. Qin Fang looked at the person standing behind him with some surprise, a soldier. The two five-pointed stars on the shoulders indicate the rank and status of the other party.

"I wonder what the chief is looking for me?" Qin Fang asked boldly.

"Oh. My name is Meng Tian. of the Ministry of Defense. Meng Tian introduced.

"Oh. It's Commander Meng. Qin Fang looked at Meng Tian nervously, he didn't know why Meng Tian was looking for him, and he didn't know what the other party had planned.

"I just listened to your technical statement. I'm very interested. So to speak. I think the military is very interested in this technology. We, the Department of Defense, want to buy patents for this technology, and we want to hire you to do research in the Department of Defense's technical research department. Development of turbochargers continues. Meng Tian said.

"This. I'm applying for a patent for the technology, and I think it won't be long before it comes down. Qin Fang was a little nervous, but when he heard Meng Tian talk about the turbocharger, he suddenly relaxed.

"Oh. Yes, our military is very concerned about increasing the horsepower of the engine. Meng Tian took the initiative to explain.

"Hmm." Qin Fang began to calm down.

"It just so happens that the Ministry of Defense has such a part of the funds for the research and development of technology, so we hope to buy Mr. Qin's technology patent, and then hire Mr. to continue research, after all, the military urgently needs a more powerful engine." Meng Tian continued.

"Hmm. That's easy to say. Qin Fang nodded and said. He now understands why his project is not adequately funded. The reason is that his project, as far as the current market is concerned, it is not very meaningful to increase horsepower, because the demand for motor vehicles is not very large, and the amount of money spent on studying engines with too much horsepower is not quite a lot, as long as there is a low-horsepower engine, the problem can be solved, and they will definitely not take the initiative to develop such a project.

After all, the civilian market is so narrow, although his potential is great, but the development is very difficult, the people of various countries generally do not have much money, their demand for motor vehicles is not very large, the use of low-horsepower cars can solve the problem, if the development of high-horsepower engines, so that not only the cost of consumption increases, the price will remain high, in this way, the other party will definitely not accept, this is a thankless thing for them, so investors, In particular, private investors are not interested in this project, because they need a project to develop, and they definitely do not rely on the project to lose money.

Technicians think that the development of new technologies is a good thing, but in the eyes of investors, only projects that can make money are good projects. Therefore, it is also appropriate that Qin Fang's project is not optimistic. But the military's project is different, the Qin army urgently needs a device to quickly increase the horsepower, after all, the very carrying capacity is very limited, if they can increase the horsepower of aircraft and other vehicles, they are still willing to do so.

"Our military urgently needs to make changes, after all, the more horsepower our military needs, the better, so we are optimistic about Mr. Qin's project." Meng Yi then explained.

"I get that." Qin Fang said.

"To be honest, I am very happy to accept such a condition and project, after all, I also hope to be able to get support for such a project." Qin Fang said.

"That's good, that's good, Mr. Qin can come to the Ministry of Defense, and I'll arrange it for Mr." Meng Tian continued.

"Thank you so much." Qin Fang said with a smile. After all, he is in a very bad situation now, and if he can solve this problem, it will be too good for him.

Qi Binhai District.

"It turned out to be Brother Han." Zhang Ying said to a Korean businessman. The Korean businessman's name is Han Fa. He had two merchant ships, and in the Primorsky District, two ships were considered the smallest.

"Brother Zhang is polite. Anyway, everyone is from Xinzheng, and I am also from Xinzheng, but unfortunately, I haven't been back for two years. Han Fa said.

"Oh. Why didn't Big Brother go back there? Zhang Ying asked.

"It's not that these businesses can't get out. In recent years, maritime trade has developed particularly rapidly. Han Fa said.

"Especially the ship to the South Seas, starting from Queen's Island to the South Seas, a round trip, the fastest it takes four or five months, a trip is half a year, and then a month and a half to come here, so that the business is completed. After settling the payment, it is necessary to take advantage of the good wind. Immediately go south to do business. Therefore, after going back and forth several times, I will not be able to go home. Han Fa said with a smile.

"Is Nanyang's business really that hot?" Zhang Ying asked at this time.

"Yes. Fire, for sure. Do you know? Han Fa said.

"We put things from the north on ships and transport them to the south, and we can sell them for a lot of money at once. However, the place where we sell is the colony of the Southern Chu State, and there are many things needed in those places, and a musket can be sold for two gold, in addition to artillery. Gunpowder, and so on, are needed. Pig iron, all kinds of ironware, is also very much needed. Han Fa said with a smile.

"There are also a lot of things in the South Seas, such as some precious trees, spices, etc., which are shipped to the north again to be sold, or hoarded. For example, hoarding on Queen's Island and hiring some boats to run the transport. Then go to the state of Chu, there is sugar, tea, silk, and other products in the south of the state of Chu, these things faint the state of Qin, and you can still make several times the profit. So, the more you run, the more you earn. A lot of people nowadays, basically, do that. Came to the marina area, unloaded the goods and ran. Sometimes only half of the payment is charged. Han Fa explained.

"Hmm." Zhang Ying nodded. That's when he understood. Why did there be such a big reaction to the last time troops were sent to forcibly collect ships. In addition, the reason why these businessmen do this is that they spend a lot more time on a trip, but they have a profit of 300%, which is absolutely rare. Think about it, who would want to turn away such a huge profit. Think about it, the money the South Korean government gives them is not enough for half of the salary funds they give. This kind of salary is definitely a loss of money. It's no wonder that no ship takes the initiative to deliver goods. After all, if they want to transport military supplies, they will have to leave Jimo with a full load, and if they go south, they will have to go south empty. Not only that, but if they return, the likelihood of accidents increases. None of them wanted to see such a situation, so the merchant ships refused. Although the South Korean Navy also has warships to transport, the main task this time is to deliver logistical supplies, and if there are no logistical supplies, then the war of the ROK Marine Corps will be delayed, which is absolutely not conducive to their development.

"So, Brother Han." At this time, Zhang Ying shouted affectionately.

"Last time I heard that the South Korean army seized a merchant ship, what happened?" Zhang Ying asked.

"Oh. This matter is the South Korean Marine Corps, they want to transport military supplies, but we all have a big deal, so these businessmen are not willing to do this, but these military materials must be delivered, and these soldiers are in a hurry. There is no way, they are all on orders, we understand that. However, it is not easy for us businessmen, and it is quite difficult for everyone to make some money. Han Fa said.

"So we all ignored it, and as a result, the soldiers were in a hurry. It's time to do something drastic. Fortunately, the Qi army was protecting us, and they also came to confront us, and in the end, this matter went to the queen. The queen was also very concerned about us, and removed the head of the regiment, and the operation was canceled. Han Fa said.

"Speaking of which, this matter is indeed our fault." Han Fa said.

"Everyone is Korean, and the queen can still deal with those officers after the incident. This shows that the queen is facing us. Logically speaking, we are all Koreans. The queen was supposed to send some military supplies, but the compensation was too little. Moreover, the time taken is a bit too long, and if the transported materials are in danger or other things, everyone will lose a lot. Han Fa said.

"So, brother knows that it is not easy for us businessmen, the wind and waves at sea are very strong, and it is not easy for us, so considering our business, everyone has discussed it. None of them. And that's it. But we think we should, but the Queen should look at us. We know that we are in a bad situation. Han Fa said.

"But if you do that, it will make the queen embarrassed." Zhang Ying said.

"There's no way, we're businessmen." Han Fa explained.

"Perhaps, we can sit down and discuss it, and maybe there is a solution. After all, it's okay to ship all of these things. At this time, Zhang Ying persuaded him.

"To be honest, we are also tempted, but think about it, it is not easy for everyone, this maritime trade seems to be very profitable, in fact, everyone understands in their hearts that there is no way, we want to do the queen's affairs, but our ability is limited." Han Fa said embarrassedly.

Hearing this, Zhang Ying really wanted to scold, but there was no way, whoever made them all businessmen, and now they still need to rely on them.

"We can cooperate, cooperate, after all, the South Korean Marine Corps is for you to lay Jimo City, with Jimo City, everyone's port berthing will have great benefits, and everyone can see such benefits." Zhang Ying continued.
