Chapter 85: The Foundation for the Future (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )

In the industrial zone in the west of Shenyang, the horizon of the former flag land grassland is blocked by a large factory area, and there are rows of factories as far as the eye can see, as well as the endless large workshops, especially in the chimneys, there are dozens of smoke, white, yellow, gray, of course, more black, the smoke is intertwined with each other, while spreading to the blue-gray sky, forming a cloud of smoke that means industrial civilization, covering half of the sky, and under this industrial smoke cloud, It is the factory buildings of different heights and shapes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As the largest industrial center in East Asia, this time last year, it was still a dusty construction site, and the roar of steam cranes and steam tractors intertwined into a symphony in the air, that is, in this symphony, factories slowly towered over the horizon, and finally formed the largest industrial area in Asia.

In this industrial area, new railroads will transport coal from Fushun, iron from Incheon, and timber from the Yalu River to the industrial factories here, which will then be transported by railroad to other places. The vibrant livelihood area is perhaps a microcosm of the seismic changes taking place in this land.

In fact, this is just the beginning, this is located on the west side of the Shenyang Chengxi Railway "Tiexi Industrial Zone", but it is only one of the three industrial zones in the plan, more precisely, the first of the three industrial zones, in the future it will become the foundation of the two newly established cities of Changchun and Binjiang, just as Incheon at this time is the foundation of the "Tiexi Industrial Zone".

Compared to Incheon, the Cheonseo Industrial Park is now a larger and more modern factory, which is why construction has not stopped since last year. Even in the winter, when the cold wind makes it impossible to carry out construction work, the infrastructure work has not stopped, such as the installation of foundations, roads and steel beams. And now, in the middle of summer, the roar of the steam piling machine every time it drives a pile. The roar of steam tractors crushing the earth reverberated in the air, and this sound, the sound of the sound, seemed to symbolize some kind of power, a force made of machinery and steel, which in the future would sustain the whole country.

The roar of the machine and the screeching sound of the machine tool seem to be the only sound in the air, as the largest arsenal in Asia - Shenyang East Three Provinces Arsenal. Almost every moment, there are tens of thousands of workers engaged in production, and even in the technical school next to the factory, there are more than 5,000 students undergoing technical training, and hundreds of graduate apprentices enter the factories every month.

As the most important government-run asset of the Northeast Governor's Office, the Arsenal of the Three Eastern Provinces is the earliest factory put into operation in the "Tiexi Industrial Zone", and of course this has a lot to do with the fact that it was founded on the basis of the "Seoul Machinery" Bureau. While other factories were still waiting for equipment, their machines were shipped from Seoul. Installation has already begun in the factory.

Moreover, as a key project of the "First Fourth Plan", the arsenal of the three eastern provinces has received unprecedented attention from the very beginning, and it not only has the best equipment, but also has the priority of equipment -- this priority ensures that it can obtain enough equipment at the first time, and even all factories must make concessions for it, after all. The military industry is the real backbone.

Unlike the arsenals in Europe and the United States at the same time, the Arsenal of the Three Eastern Provinces, which was a large-scale comprehensive arsenal, was carved into this factory from the beginning. Large-scale factories, large-scale education, large-scale ...... On this industrial area, almost everything is scaled up, and hundreds of millions of dollars are injected into this land. It supports the industrial zones of the three eastern provinces, and also supports the unique large-scale construction.

However, not everything is large-scale, and even as the largest factory in the industrial zone, there are still large and small test workshops in the branches of the arsenals in the three eastern provinces, and these test plants are small and equipped with a lot of equipment. On the one hand, these workshops are used for teaching and practice plants, and they are also workshops for research production.

Although it is nominally the largest arsenal east of Suez, its production is not limited to weapons, and even compared with the production of armaments, the production of machinery and equipment has become its main business, after all, for the Northeast, complete sets of machinery and equipment are urgently needed for its industrial construction.

It is precisely because of this that the engineers can produce and prototype various mechanical products or conduct some research with the test workshop, and in the past few days, the Chinese and foreign engineers in the factory will always cast their curious eyes here when passing through the Jiasan test workshop, and the reason why they will cast curious eyes is not because of a few military police standing outside the workshop, but because of the unique identity of the engineer in the workshop - the governor of the three eastern provinces.

Unlike other test workshops with all kinds of machining equipment, there are hardly any machines in the Jiasan test workshop, except for a few universal milling machines, there are all kinds of oil-stained parts, in the past few months, there are more than a dozen students of the mechanical engineering department of Northeastern University, here to assist their teaching assistant Yu Bao to work here.

However, in the recent past, Tang Haoran, as the governor of the three provinces, will also take time to come here as much as possible, and "tinker" with Yu Bao and those young students to "tinker" with a new invention.

Although to a certain extent, Yu Bao, who graduated from the School of Liberal Arts, is half of Tang Haoran's student, and once conducted some research with Tang Haoran in the mechanical laboratory of the Tongjian Mansion, but he showed far more talent in machinery than Tang Haoran, but he did not enter the factory, but entered the university, in fact, this is the place where the vast majority of students go after the dissolution of the laboratory of the Tongjian Office, no one can understand why Tang Haoran would let students go to the university as teaching assistants, but Tang Haoran is very clear about his purpose- In order to allow these students who are somewhat influenced by "future knowledge" to serve as teaching assistants, they can influence more people.

Just like now, these dozens of students are not cars developed under the leadership of Yu Bao. Yu Bao's obsession with cars stems from the laboratory, from Tang Haoran's description of cars, and it is precisely because of this that he is obsessed with the study of cars. With some advice from the teacher, research through a few simple sketches.

If there is one difference between Yu Bao's laboratory and that of foreign automobile inventors, it is that it has a better engine, and of course it is supported by ample funds and a large factory. The development of the car will seem to be quite smooth - in the past three months, two cars have been built.

Those two cars are all borrowed from the best Western performance of the car, but even so, the two in this point of view, perhaps extremely excellent car but not let him be satisfied, for the car, Yu Bao has exceeded the requirements of others, more accurately, the original teacher's description of the car. He was deeply obsessed with the future "on wheels", and he only had one dream, which was to become the pioneer of that future.

However, compared with Yu Bao's dissatisfaction, Tang Haoran, as the governor of the three eastern provinces, saw the news in the newspaper and realized that 1893 had become the first year of China's automobile, and it was precisely because of this that he came to Shenyang from Dalian. Enthusiastically participated in the development of the car, and these days it has almost reached the point of eating and living here. This is all because of a "revolutionary" "invention".

With the roar of the 24-horsepower gasoline engine, twenty-four students from Northeastern University and Yu Bao gathered around the test bench. Looking at the smooth transmission system, everyone's eyes were full of surprise and joy, if they didn't see it with their own eyes, I'm afraid they really couldn't believe that Dashuai could design such a set of superior performance and unique gear transmission system in such a short time.

"It's not a big deal. It's just a one-size-fits-all approach, and a similar gearing system has already been designed at the Incheon shipyard, and it's just a matter of learning from it......"

Although Tang Haoran, whose hands and canvas overalls were covered with oil, said with pride on his face, he still truthfully said that the imitation object of this planetary gear transmission system was the gear reduction transmission system developed by the shipyard to overcome the high speed of the steam turbine, and the planetary gear transmission system was developed on the basis of it.

Of course, the more important point is. Tang Haoran knows the importance of this system, and even this planetary gear transmission system has made Ford brilliant, if the Model T does not have this system, how can it occupy the market for more than 20 years only by being cheap, and the Model T is relying on this planetary gear transmission system to achieve his performance and establish his supremacy in the car.

Even until a hundred years later, this system still tenaciously occupies the market, Tang Haoran, who knows its importance, will naturally not let go of the opportunity to "invent" it, not to mention, although he is not learning about cars, but because of his hobby, Tang Haoran more or less always knows some knowledge of planetary gear transmission system, and it is with the help of those knowledge that he can "invent" it in such a short period of time.

"When driving a car, the clutch and gear lever can control the forward and reverse of the car, and you can also adjust its high and low speeds......

Yu Bao, who was shocked, just muttered softly on his lips when he stared at this set of original transmission systems that were running.

"Well, it's like a planet in the solar system orbiting the sun......"

"That's right, that's why it's called a planetary gear drive!"

Although he was a little proud, Tang Haoran knew that the transmission system he "invented" was not even as complex as the transmission system of a tractor that cost thousands of yuan in later generations, but it was an epoch-making product in this era.

"You see that the sun gear, planet carrier and internal gear can all rotate around a common fixed axis, isn't it like a small solar system, I think this planetary gear transmission system, this name is just right for it......"

At the same time as naming the planetary gear transmission system, Tang Haoran looked at the running gasoline engine on the side, although he gave them certain hints in the development of the gasoline engine, but he was a layman after all, even so they still developed several new engines according to their own tips through the study of foreign gasoline engines.

Compared with the gasoline engines that can be described in simple terms in Europe at the same time, the gasoline engines manufactured by the current power company are quite complicated, especially the set of "star engines", the so-called star engines, are manufactured according to the principle drawings drawn by Tang Haoran, and the four-cylinder 24 horsepower "gasoline engine" is the same, but it is based on the principle proposed by Tang Haoran, and its basis is still the gasoline engine of the same era in Europe.

After all, in later generations, the engine has always been the heart of China's automobile and aviation industry, and the backward engine industry is the biggest weakness restricting the development of China's industry, but in this time and space, whether it is a steam turbine or a gasoline engine, and even a diesel engine just invented by Northeastern University, China is far ahead of the traditional European powers.

"Now, the invention of the automobile is just the beginning, and I believe that soon, the automobile will be transformed from an engineer's invention and a toy for the rich to a means of transportation for the general public, and by that time, the automobile may even become a pillar industry of the country!"

Waving his oily hands, Tang Haoran was naturally full of confidence in the future of automobiles and the automobile industry.

"Even, the automobile will become the fundamental ...... for us to bridge the industrial gap with the great powers"

Looking at the planetary gear transmission system, no one knows better than Tang Haoran the role of automobiles in promoting national industry and automobiles in the future, especially for China, a country with complex terrain and not necessarily every place suitable for building railways, the role of automobiles will be far greater than people imagine.

Just as Tang Haoran was cheering for Yu Bao, the only automotive engineer in China now, and his students, the attendant officer hurriedly walked over, holding a telegram in his hand.

"Master, Dalian Emergency!"

The moment he received the telegram, he just glanced at it slightly, Tang Haoran's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly ordered.

"Inform the train station immediately, and we will return to Dalian now."

As he spoke, Tang Haoran ignored the thick layer of engine oil on his hands, but his footsteps had already walked towards the door, and his face was full of anxiety and remorse. (To be continued.) )
