Chapter 157 The engine was successfully developed
The Wild Wolf Independent Regiment was officially expanded into the 54th Army. This expansion has not been recognized by any party, including the Nanjing government, but has been questioned by many parties. But in the hearts of the people, this expansion of the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment is good! It's what they love to see!
"Commander, the two reporters from the "Battlefield" sent someone to send a congratulatory gift." Yan 13 reported.
"It's time to change the name to the military seat. My Yan Vice-Military Seat! Wang Zilu said with a smile on the side.
The corners of Tian Zheng's mouth smiled slightly, "Hurry up and invite two reporters in!" ”
"Junza, those two reporters left after delivering the things!" Yan Shisan smiled and shook his head, "These two reporters are very attentive to our troops!" This time, they sent not only the funds raised by their newspaper, but also some property entrusted to them by overseas Chinese! ”
"Our army has just been expanded, and there are a lot of places to use money at the moment. Our family background has been harmed by Li Sanwu sent by Han Fuqu's bastard! These two big reporters sent money and property at this time, which can just alleviate our urgent need! Deng Li, you count it, and then use this money where it is needed most! ”
Tian Zheng had just finished speaking, when the guards outside walked in with a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
"Report! Dean Zheng of Liaocheng Academy has to come in and see you now! The guard reported.
Tian Zheng raised his eyes and saw that the person who came was undoubtedly Zheng Xuemin. He was still wearing a washed and somewhat whitish tunic with no buttons at the neckline, all the sleeves on his arms were rolled up, and his arms and hands were stained with oil.
But Zheng Xuemin seemed very excited. As soon as he came in, he held Tian Zheng's hands, and he made the general uniform that Tian Zheng had just changed into full of oil.
"I said Lao Zheng. Why are you so happy? Our military seat is a general's uniform that we just changed into! Our entire group army can be such a new military uniform. It didn't take much to put it on. You've ruined it! Yan Shisan said bitterly on the side.
Zheng Xuemin's old face turned red, but the hands he had just let go grabbed again. And this time it's tighter! Seeing that Yan Shisan and Wang Zilu next to them were distressed for a while!
"Throne! I guarantee that after you hear this news, you will definitely not care about this new military uniform! Zheng Xuemin said confidently.
The whole room immediately turned their eyes to him. Zheng Xuemin opened his mouth again, "Last time you gave us the research task of Liaocheng Academy, our academy has already completed part of it!" One of the first projects to be completed included was a 60 hp gasoline engine! ”
"Engine!" Tian Zheng's eyes widened in an instant. It's like you've found a treasure!
"Let's go! Check it out! Tian Zheng said, he didn't care about the oily stains on the brand-new general's uniform, he pulled Zheng Xuemin and rushed out! The officers in the back also followed!
The teaching team of Liaocheng University, as an academic group, not only has the responsibility of teaching and educating people. He also undertakes a variety of research tasks assigned by Tian Zheng. It includes basic research on various materials, proof of principle, and digestion and supplementation of some new techniques. It relied on Liaocheng's financial income subsidies to operate, so during the period of time when Li Sanwu sent by Han Fuqu took over, he did not take action against this place that not only had no oil and water, but also spent a lot of expenses, but only cut off the research funds of Liaocheng University during that period of time.
"Captain!" In the engine research institute of Liaocheng University, a group of experts and scholars had already gathered around to watch, and they all shouted with a smile when they saw Tian Zheng come in.
"You shouldn't call the head of the regiment anymore! Gotta call the military seat! Zheng Xuemin reminded on the side.
"Throne! Our first 60 hp petrol engine has been developed! A chief engineer in charge of engine research said. He was wearing a camouflage uniform, on which the color of camouflage could no longer be seen. Completely covered in a thick layer of oil!
For these technical talents who are obsessed with academic research, they don't care what Tian Zheng's title from regiment commander to military seat represents, and they don't have to spend any effort on the adjustment of their positions! Because their whole body and mind are devoted to the busy and intense research work! For them, Tian Zheng assigned them every research task. The knowledge of all the principles involved in it is far beyond their knowledge! The research outline given by Tian Zheng is like a door to a broader ocean of knowledge, allowing them to come into contact with a broader world realm! Even some scholars who have returned from studying abroad feel that these technical theories are far beyond those developed countries abroad!
For military men. A good weapon will be a treasure for them. More joy than a handful of bills! For doctors, a good medical environment and instruments and tools are their pursuit! And for these scholars. Those theories of knowledge that they have never heard of and never seen are priceless treasures in their eyes! It is a great goal that is worth their life's work to study, prove, and achieve!
The chief engineer in charge of engine research was a scholar named Wen Zhang, who had returned from studying in Germany. He was one of the first 150 children to be sent to study in Lu at the end of the Qing Dynasty. He began studying in Germany at the age of eleven and later graduated from the Munich Aviation Academy in Germany at the age of twenty-six. After the Nanjing government took control of the overall domestic political situation, Wen Zhang was recruited by the Nanjing government to be responsible for the research of power machinery. However, the Nanjing government was corrupt and its institutions were bloated, and Wen Zhang was ostracized by the major factions, so he could not get research resources, funds, and effective assistants. As a result, he spent several years in the institute without any results. Later, when Tian Zheng opened Liaocheng Academy, he sent people to contact these talents, and Wen Zhang resolutely decided to defect after hearing about Tian Zheng's heroic feat of "Wild Wolf Independent Regiment" resolutely resisting Japan!
"Wen Gong, you can demonstrate the power output and smooth operation of this engine!"
Wen Zhang skillfully fiddled with the various buttons on the console, and then started the gasoline engine with a set of battery ignition starting device, slowly toggled the throttle, and gradually increased the fuel delivery of the oil pipe, the sound of the engine changed from low to roaring, and the instrument showed that the speed of the engine rose slowly from 800 rpm after starting, and then smoothly reached 3,000 rpm, and then kept rising, and now it has reached 4,300 rpm! Wen Zhang turned his head to look at Tian Zheng, Tian Zheng nodded lightly, signaling him to continue to increase, and Wen Zhang pushed the accelerator to the highest position! The tachometer on the gauge immediately jumped to 4,700 rpm!
"That's the top speed!" Wen Zhang said with a somewhat regretful expression.
Tian Zheng nodded, "It's okay, this is the first engine we have successfully developed, it belongs to the nature of testing, and it is already good to be able to achieve such a speed!" The engines in Germany at this time should be mainly gasoline engines, and the highest technical level is only within 5,500 rpm. We were able to achieve 4,700 revolutions for the first time, which is already worth celebrating! ”
"The power output is 65 hp at its peak! The revs are stable at 4,000 rpm and the power output is 59 hp! Stability testing is now underway, with the first test taking eight hours. Wen Zhang said as he read the data of the meter.
"Okay! Let's put it to the test first! Go back to your research from the rest of the institutes! I stayed with Wen Gong. Wait until the evening and let's have a celebratory party! Tian Zheng said with a smile.
The eyes of the rest of the personnel who looked at Wen Zhang were all congratulatory and a hint of envy. These people all know that Tian Zheng is a treasure trove of thousands of knowledge, and he will definitely have more exchanges with Wen Zhang when he stays, maybe the progress of Wen Zhang's engine research institute will be greatly increased, and then their other research institutes will be a big step behind!
However, since Tian Zheng has spoken, and everyone knows the preciousness of the power machinery of the Lu Dao engine, everyone has nothing to say, but jokes about asking Tian Zheng to prepare a sumptuous dinner at night, everyone can drink a few glasses! (To be continued......)
