Chapter 234: The Internal Combustion Engine Has Been Out!
Naito said that this is engaged in transportation, how to do it?
It's very simple, of course, it's to the American Empire, you know, there are still people over there, and there are a lot of people going there, of course, we just need to sell tickets, we can go to Qingguo to sell, and then when we return, the goods with piggyback can be sold in Japan, or in Qingguo, what an easy way to make money?!
You know, it's violent, and there's one thing, and that's that the weapons of the American Empire are so good that you can buy them there, what a great deal!
And the most important thing is that the Satsuma Domain has this condition!
The one who is engaged in shipping in Japan is from the Satsuma Domain, and many of the people in this room know how to navigate, and that Sakamoto Ryoma doesn't say anything, even Saigo Takamori He understands it.
Such good conditions, combined with Naito's idea, are like a widow meeting a fat fan......
In other words, the problem of funds is no longer a problem, and Naito naturally won the trust of the Satsuma Domain, and in fact, the people who are now the Nagasu Domain are also very powerful, but with this Naito, the Nagasu Domain and the Satsuma Domain decided to form an alliance.
In this way, Naito became a toppler, and in the future he will surely become a pivotal figure in the Japanese constitutional monarchy.
If you want to say this, I really have to thank that Kintaro, this little guy is really good.
However, Naito doesn't know now, that Kintaro and the Heihachiro who is guarding outside today, and the two of them will change their names in the future.
Kintaro changed his name to Yuhiro Ito, and Heihachiro was called Heihachiro Togo......
The changes on the Japanese side, Li Mengyang is absolutely unexpected. He could never have imagined that he had already had such a huge impact on history. Japan will definitely be different. What about Li Mengyang's one-third of an acre?
"Comrades! People! Allow me to introduce you to a new thing, this thing has great strength, it is strong, it is strong, it can carry anything......"
Liszt came out again, with a microphone in a tin roll, and was there to introduce as much as he could. Behind him there was a big guy, obscured by a canvas, the point is. This thing is really big!
This thing is now placed in the San Francisco Municipal Square, and this square is now crowded with a lot of people, maybe not to the point of crowds, but the number is really considerable.
It should be said that now the population of the empire has exceeded 700,000, although there are no specific statistics, but this conservative estimate is still there, but however, because everyone is very busy with work. So, now do this kind of assembly. It is impossible to come as before, in addition, the order is much better, it is no longer the previous one, black and pressing, dense and messy, but a phalanx by a phalanx, and someone maintains order.
So what kind of press conference is this?
Almost, Liszt has come out, and he is so hard to fool around, which obviously has an official element.
"Comrades! People! Now let's unravel the mystery of this big guy! ”
As soon as Liszt finished speaking, he made a very magnificent turn, and then waved his hands, as if the conductor of the orchestra, only to hear it.
The canvas was pulled up in an instant, and I saw a very huge machine appear in front of the eyes of the people of the empire, which was ......
"Wow! It's huge! ”
"What is this?"
"I'll see, there's a connecting rod, there's that...... It's like a steam engine. ”
"Isn't it? Steam engine? The steam engine seems to be bigger than that. ”
All of a sudden, the onlookers in the municipal square were talking non-stop. Although everyone was organized and orderly, such a so-called press conference was not a particularly formal gathering, so everyone spoke freely.
"Comrades!" At this time, Liszt came out again, "We have to remember this moment now!" Because it's going to be a great time! This is the first time in human history that such an internal combustion engine has been seen! This is a brand new power machine, which is much more powerful than the steam engine! This is the opportunity we will rely on in the future! ……”
Liszt's mouth is like a river, but this guy has introduced this thing.
That's right, this is the internal combustion engine, but the current internal combustion engine is still very different from the internal combustion engine that Li Mengyang knows, this ...... Well, in fact, Li Mengyang himself doesn't know much about what an internal combustion engine is, but such a big thing, this is really different from his impression!
What does this current internal combustion engine look like?
The most obvious thing about this internal combustion engine is that there is a large metal connecting rod, which is similar to a steam engine, but below it is something like a small boiler, which should be the combustion chamber, so it seems that this should be a 'single cylinder', and then there are a lot of metal components on it, and a big pipe, which seems to be a chimney, anyway, it is quite different.
Overall, compared with the steam engine, it is smaller, but not too small, this thing is still more than one person tall, and then the all-metal components are quite shiny, which is a sci-fi place compared to the steam engine.
"Now, let's take a look at this big guy!" Liszt didn't say much, and waved his hand directly.
Empty, empty! Boom Boom! ……
I only heard the deafening sound sounded, and there was a bright light from the boiler, it was obvious that something was burning, the connecting rod was constantly moving, obviously conducting power, the chimney was also working, and the black smoke rushed out quickly!
Just this machine, don't say it, it's really imposing!
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
Maybe these imperial people present don't understand this machine, but they look very dazzling and awesome, so, simply, what they are best at now is shouting slogans, and this slogan can't be wrong anyway.
"Comrades! Look at that! What a great invention! It's going to change our lives...... "Liszt is very dedicated."
Actually, this thing is called a boiler by Thomson, of course. This is actually the engine he discussed with His Majesty the Emperor before. Other words. This thing burns oil.
And you know, the current oil has not been promoted, although people know to refine some kerosene or something, but the specific use is still not clear, so simply put Thomson's engine, called it a heavy oil boiler!
Li Mengyang, he really doesn't understand anything about these things. Anyway, Mr. Thomson did it, so it's better to call it a heavy oil boiler.
As for the problem of oil, don't say it, there is really no shortage on the imperial side, after taking Baja California into the bag, someone found oil near Los Angeles, and it is quite easy to extract, which is a lot of fun for Li Mengyang.
For California, especially Los Angeles, the guy Li Mengyang is most familiar with Hollywood. It's a movie. But in fact, it really got California to initiate it. It's actually the oil, and the oil industry is what makes Los Angeles bullish.
Of course, Li Mengyang didn't know about this matter, but after he discovered the oil, he thought about it, and it seems that some people said environmental protection back then, that is, in the heavily polluted cities, there is a big name in Los Angeles!
But it's not eco-friendly...... We can't think about it that far now, we have all this oil, so what's the difference?
In addition, Mr. Thomson is also very modest, in fact, two years ago, a French scientist has put forward the concept of "four-stroke duty cycle", and the internal combustion engine, in fact, has been there before, and it was also done by the Frenchman Leroy, but that thing is basically a complete imitation of a steam engine, but it is just burning gas.
Yes, in fact, the steam engine and the internal combustion engine are almost the same...... Well, that's exactly the layman's point of view of Li Mengyang.
So, Mr. Thomson didn't take credit for this heavy oil boiler, he felt that he was just combining other people's ideas, and now, it's just making improvements, and then turning fuel into oil, it's as simple as that.
But really, where is it so simple? Can Li Mengyang not know?
So, this year's Elena Thomson Science Award must be awarded to Mr. Thomson, of course, Thomson insists on not resigning!
No matter, it's you anyway!
Others don't know, so can Li Mengyang not know the power of this internal combustion engine?
However, this also has to be such a press conference, because this thing is still something that changes people's lives, and on the other hand, it will have a great impact on the current life!
Now it's a steam engine, this thing is very mature, and even if the internal combustion engine is good in the future, but the current heavy oil boiler, that is really average, the efficiency is not stronger than the steam engine, you know, the current steam engine can have a thermal efficiency of more than 10%, and the internal combustion engine is only a single digit.
In other words, there is still a long way to go, and it is necessary to make continuous improvements!
Then, nature needs the power of the people, and we can't let this thing fend for itself, right?
However, is this big thing a little far away from the common people?
"Comrades! People! Don't rush home just yet! When such a big guy is said and done, we will also see a small guy now! Comrades! Look east! Liszt came out again with a loudspeaker, and this time simply ordered everyone to turn their heads.
Looking east, what would it be?
There were so many people in this square, most of them couldn't see it at all, but they could hear it.
Sudden ...... Sudden ......
Could this be a machine gun...... Oh no, it's obviously not as ferocious as the machine gun, the sound is much softer, but then a louder wave comes!
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
This......
I saw the great Clint. His Majesty Li Yi was waving to everyone on a four-wheeled car, and the car, without horses, was walking by itself, but there was a small chimney emitting black smoke out!
This is...... What car? (To be continued......)
PS: I believe everyone can see that history has changed dramatically, hey, hey, hey, the black car is slowly presented to everyone.
