Compared with the gasoline engine, the diesel engine has a certain range of dù, the development is a lot rougher, Yang Yuanzhao determined the development of the entire engine factory, determined the basic shape, the compressor is poor and white, even if there is Yang Yuanzhao's guidance, but also took a lot of detours, after encountering a lot of problems, finally succeeded in making the first diesel compressor, when the compressor was produced, the diesel engine production work is basically no problem,

The most important process of diesel engine is the compressor, as for the rest, the level is not high at all, the energy of diesel is strong, and relatively mild, as long as the compression is in place, there is no need to consider the pressure and temperature of the combustion chamber, and even in the form of thickening the cylinder block, increase the thickness of the cylinder block, reduce the consumption of materials, a lot of diesel engines, and even just use the cast iron shell, which shows that the advantages of diesel engines, heavy and high reliability. [][]. [23] [wx]. []

The successful development of the 240 horsepower diesel engine, next, is the gradual industrial production, the all-in-one machine can only solve part of the problem at most, and now the task of the all-in-one machine is getting heavier and heavier, whether it is a variety of large machinery, special formula metals, or the gradual expansion of heavy artillery troops, now more than 75 cannons can not be produced, and even a part of Makqin also needs an all-in-one machine, Baotou is occupied by Mongolia and Shanxi provinces, but the chassis is large, and the military strength is gradually improving, There is a large gap in the weapons needed.

The engine and the car, a certain distance, are a huge supplement to the railway, and the flexibility and convenience of the car are far from being comparable to the railway, and it is impossible to build a railway line for every factory. Set up freight yards, only some large-scale. The capacity requirements are huge, and the car is just the right fit.

The engine is the heart of the car. The 240-horsepower engine is enough to become the engine of a truck in later generations, but unfortunately the car is designed to have a lot of things, and the existing engine cannot play a full role in the case of electronic control and various materials.

First of all, these engines are installed on the pre-designed trucks, and as for the sedans, diesel-powered cars. It's not a thing of this era at all, it's a gasoline engine, it's relatively simple, as long as there is an engine, and even a carpenter and blacksmith can make a car, but it's a truck, and the increase in transportation capacity represents a more convenient logistics and smooth ratio in the future, which can give full play to the whole northwest force.

Now the car. Most of them were wooden structures, and later experience proved that wood simply could not carry more weight, whether it was rail steel. or some other steel varieties that are enough to support the design of the carriage, based on the steel of the main shaft of large ships. Used on the girder and spindle of the car, it is enough to make this car. It can withstand a weight of about 15 tons.

When the compressor was finally finalized, it basically exceeded more than half of Yang Yuanzhao's technical indicators. With a powerful compressor, after a reasonable setting, the entire diesel engine volume, at least more than twice as large as the gasoline engine, but the power, is extremely strong, 240 horsepower powerful engine, became the first in horsepower, beyond the BMW engine power, resulting in a truck, the load capacity directly exceeded 15 tons, later generations, the general agricultural vehicle, can pull 10 tons of things, whether the car can pull enough things, is not the power of the engine, Many engines in later generations are very powerful, the key is whether the steel in the rear compartment can withstand it, and now Baotou, basically will not consider the cost problem, he considers using enough transportation volume, most of them are military cars.

240 horsepower Dongfang Diesel No. 1, directly applied to the heavy-duty military vehicle, wide, looks extremely powerful heavy-duty military vehicle, can tow 203 mm heavy artillery, on the high-specification highway built in Baotou, on the highway 70 kilometers of speed quickly moved, as soon as this military vehicle appeared, it made Cai Yi feel powerful, and he even remembered Yang Yuanzhao's promise before, motorized test troops.

Because of the invasion of the Beiyang Army, in fact, Cai Ye succeeded Feng Yuxiang as the commander of the first division, and the mechanized troops, tank cars, armored vehicles and military trucks promised before, did not materialize, and now the emergence of this military truck solves the transportation problem of 203 heavy artillery, and enhances the advance speed of the infantry, even if there is no train in the place, it can also be through the guò highway to move forward quickly, compared with the high-tech railway, it seems that the highway is easier to build.

There are many kinds of problems restricting the army, the most critical of which is the ability to maneuver, now, Baotou here, the railway network has been basically formed, from Baotou to every city within 200 kilometers, there are train connections, but the train is relatively speaking, there are many restrictions, in the short distance, the mobility is convenient, only the car, now, the railway is extending, the highway is also constantly extending, as long as there are a number of heavy-duty vehicles, heavy artillery troops, you can be in the scope of Baotou control, rapid movement, even from Baotou to Taiyuan, 600 kilometers is only half a day, which means that Baotou's heavy equipment strength and army strength will be greatly enhanced.

There is almost no hesitation, including Cai Yi, many main divisions have placed orders for heavy-duty vehicles, at least, every heavy artillery needs to be equipped, 32 heavy guns of more than 105, that is, 32 cars, the price of each car, even if it is the purchase price of Baotou itself, is as high as 10,000 yuan, but the army that is tilting on the side of Baotou is so rich, it is immediately an order for 160 vehicles.

Cai also specifically mentioned that some small diesel engines can be made for the production of some small cars, which can be used to transport soldiers, transport ordinary 75 guns, and as command vehicles.

After Yang Yuanzhao heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, isn't this motorized, with the help of motorcycles, small off-road vehicles, and military trucks, to complete the operation of a division, such a division, combat effectiveness is stronger than the previous divisions, the most important thing is that this is a rapid reaction force, for some emergencies, will be very fast, which will have a great impact on the deployment of the army in the core area.

The development of the army, Yang Yuanzhao wanted to listen to these professionals, they decided, the first batch of orders were put down, of course, there is also the Chamber of Commerce, one or two tons of four-wheeled carriages, a certain number of dù on, it will open the eyes of the Chamber of Commerce, under the reduction of volume and load, 5-10 tons of trucks, a certain range of dù above, has become the dominant, the price of these trucks, is not so low as the army, basically guaranteed a considerable profit, 5 tons of 12,000 yuan, 10 tons of 23,000 yuan, Such a price is very high, for the caravan of the gradual expansion of the transportation volume, such a transportation volume, very in place, the price, with the help of Baotou, has harvested countless wealth, the small caravan to buy one, the large caravan to buy 5 convoys or can, the time saved on the road and the carriage saved, it is enough to completely return to the cost in one or two years.

From the day the car just appeared, it has become the new favorite of the whole Baotou, the third machine factory, also in the first time, stabilized its own position, 2000 5-ton trucks, 2000 10-ton trucks, and the army, close to 1000 orders, fully fed the entire production line, almost more than 60 million orders, and more than 4 months of production scale, the third machine factory in the strong financial support, began to expand rapidly, covering an area of continuous expansion, It has become a representative of the new industry in Baotou.

The gradual development of automobiles, as well as the establishment of many machine factories, a certain amount of Baotou, the gradual increase in steel consumption, the whole of China, along with Baotou, set off a revolution in steel, a large number of railways, highways, buildings, consumed a lot of steel, as well as steel daily necessities, these make Baotou's annual output of 20 million, although it is still enough, take precautions, next, with the production of the automobile industry, the consumption of steel production will increase rapidly, The demand for steel in the Industrial Revolution is almost endless.

The emergence of cars and trucks, changed the logistics environment in Baotou, without increasing the level of logistics, almost three or four times, some of the initial concept of containers, after the emergence of heavy-duty trucks of 15 tons and 30 tons, it became possible, in the past, only through the guò manpower to load and unload things, can be linked through the crane and the crane, through the guò truck to transport to thousands of households.

In the direction of Zhangjiakou, the fighting still did not stop, but the intensity was already very low, the attack with the shed as a unit, there would not be once a day, separated by 10 kilometers, as if it had become an isolation belt, a few shots and a few artillery guns a day, but the casualties were almost none, they were not close, how could there be casualties, the Beiyang Army was waiting, the Qing government was urging, as for the powers, they were pulling the skin, Zhu Erdian went back and forth between Henan and Zhili in a few months, at least a dozen times, and even the support applied for from the mainland also arrived, The huge amount of ammunition is enough to reorganize the two towns, and they are all at the level of the third town, but Yuan Shikai is still not moving.

They all have their own thoughts, Yuan Shikai wants to be between the great powers and the Qing court, strive for greater benefits, control stronger strength, Baotou has been in the industry and military strength, show strength, but in Yuan Shikai's view, as long as the great powers support, if Britain can support the arms of 10 towns, he can expand the ten towns of Beiyang in two or three months, 200,000 troops, enough to drown Baotou, but they don't know that in their day by day waiting, Baotou began to move forward faster, Every day is consolidating their strength, and if they look at it with old eyes, they will definitely suffer a big loss.

However, after entering September, a major event occurred in South China, under the close planning of the League, the new army trained before and the infiltrated new army, together to hold a revolution, the Nanjing New Army participated in the uprising, with the joint efforts of the progressive youth and the new army, occupied Nanjing, and announced.
