Chapter 190: Can't We Enter the Gasoline Engine Era in Advance?!
Why do you say burning oil?
In fact, Li Mengyang is not unaware that many giant ships can also be driven by steam engines, the most typical is the famous shipwreck Titanic, that huge ship can also be driven by steam engines, of course, the steam engine at that time has actually undergone countless technological upgrades, although it is still so huge, but in terms of efficiency and power, it is very powerful, not comparable to the machine at this time.
In other words, if you consider it from the technical aspect alone, Li Mengyang can discuss the technical upgrade of the steam engine with Thomson, a scientist, but he didn't do it, Li Mengyang led the topic very out of the box, burning oil!
There is only one reason, Li Mengyang knows very well that the next era of mankind is the era of gasoline engines, that is, the era of power machinery with petroleum-related products as the main heat source!
Li Mengyang is really a liberal arts student, he really regrets it now, if he could have listened carefully to his physics teacher's lectures in middle school, maybe now he wouldn't need any William. Thomson too.
That's right, gasoline engines, diesel engines, these related principles are in middle school textbooks, but unfortunately, liberal arts students, hey~
Now it's too late to regret it, so there is only another way, for example, now, Li Mengyang takes such an opportunity to take advantage of Mr. Thomson's curiosity to pry ≠ open the small gap in the gasoline engine era, what kind of result will it be in the future?
"Are you talking about replacing coal with oil as a heat source?"
This is Thomson's understanding of Li Mengyang's statement, supposedly if the oil is burned. That doesn't seem bad either. Because coal is bigger.
"Mr. Thomson." Let's be honest. Li Mengyang was a little speechless at this time, because the scientist in front of him still hadn't turned a corner, "Not only as a heat source, don't you know what will happen after the oil is burned?" ”
That's right, oil itself can replace not only coal, but also water, and that's where the progress comes in, because when burned, the oil has an explosive force. The air is extremely expansive!
"Black smoke?" Thomson still didn't figure it out.
"......" The black lines on Li Mengyang's forehead are about to come out.
Why can't Thomson turn this corner?
It's very simple, there is oil now, and oil has been discovered for a long time, but now oil is more used as fuel for kerosene lamps, so isn't that black smoke? As for others, of course, engine oil is also known to people, and the development of machine tools is quite fast, Li Mengyang has seen it, and he has seen it in later generations. That's pretty much the same.
However, there was no gasoline. However, Li Mengyang has seen gasoline, but the gasoline is not pure, but he is very familiar with the smell, he smelled it when he was in New York, and the gasoline ...... In fact, it is a by-product of refining kerosene.
Yes, that's it, the gasoline that everyone rushed to ask for in the future is now abandoned!
So, I really don't blame Thomson, so Li Mengyang is seductive this time.
"In this way, we use oil as fuel, and at the same time it becomes something like water vapor, you know, when oil burns, it naturally produces a lot of gas, and so ......"
"That's right!" didn't wait for Li Mengyang to finish speaking, then Thomson immediately understood!
This is actually a window paper, as a thermodynamic supermaster, how could Thomson not understand the benefits of this?
Steam is also gas, and the expanding air is also gas, and after the oil explodes, how powerful will it be? How powerful is it to use this power to push the crank linkage?
It was a huge inspiration, and Thomson felt like he was touching the edge of something, so he ......
"Okay, Your Majesty, I don't have tea or food here, if you're busy......"
Thomson sent off the guests.
Fortunately, there were only two people talking, and if these words were heard, it might make Thomson disrespectful, or counter-revolutionary......
Forget it, scientists, it looks like people are going to study it, we are liberal arts students, I don't understand, I really don't understand.
Thinking about it this way, Li Mengyang felt much more comfortable, the most important thing is that he is a liberal arts student, and he can actually engage in some science and technology, which is the first productive force, although he did not do it himself, but through guò such a side knock, let others do it, and ...... Needless to say, the results of the future can still run?
Ahahahaha...... Well, this laughter is definitely in my heart, Li Mengyang, the emperor, still has to maintain it, but well, this achievement.
Li Mengyang took out a pen and paper, and then came to an abstract masterpiece, which was nothing else, but a car!
Obviously, a modern person, if he knows that someone wants to engage in an engine, he will definitely associate it with a car, and ordinary people will not think about it on a boat.
But this car ...... Will being so old reveal the identity of Li Mengyang's traverser?
No, because the cars that Li Mengyang is painting now are the ones that were available in the 60s of the 19th century!
The car thing, we Chinese have a cognition for a long time, that is, this thing was invented by two Germans, one is called Daimler, and the other is called Carl Benz.
But in fact, anyone who studies history knows that this statement is actually an advertisement, or an ideological advertisement, just to highlight Made in Germany!
Cars have been around for a long time, why are they called cars? It's because it turned out to be a steam car!
Those two Germans invented a gasoline engine, not a car!
When Li Mengyang ran a newspaper in New York, he also reported related car news, which is a certain brand, in fact, it is a handicraft workshop, and what kind of car has been made.
It's just a small steam engine, and then four wheels, this is a car of this year, not fast, and the endurance is also very poor. The most critical thing is. It's so fucking uncomfortable. The wheels of these days are all made of wood and iron!
It is conceivable that the current car is completely inferior to the horse-drawn carriage, but however, in Li Mengyang's opinion, these things are very easy to change.
So, in a state where Thomson was about to hit people, Li Mengyang completed his latest abstract masterpiece, which is very similar to the current car. But there is a bit of a shadow of a later car, and the most important thing is that the four wheels are all black, and it is also noted that they are rubber!
For the rest, Thomson, you stubborn bull can do it yourself, Lao Tzu is waiting for your research results!
This research, that's definitely for the benefit of mankind, it's really not a weapon, so. Thomson must be desperate, but!
Hey. Can this thing be used in the military, can Li Mengyang not know in his heart?
Happily came out of Thomson's house, Li Mengyang was not easy to be idle anymore, didn't he have made a plan to attack Mexico before, he had to go back and prepare well.
If you want to talk about Mexico, as far as the information you get now, the situation there is quite chaotic, when the American Empire was founded, Mexico had a civil war, and then France intervened and occupied the capital of other people, it sounds like Mexico is a very vegetable country, and the impression given to Li Mengyang is the same, this country is too bad, and the same is true for future generations.
Heaven is too far, the United States is too close, this is the true portrayal of Mexico, look at the GDP, on average, hey, this is a developed country, but if you have really been there, you will know, this country has no chance of development at all, full of all kinds of violence, strong X, poison pins, the most important thing is the gap between the rich and the poor, the poor are poor, but the rich seem to live in paradise.
And now, after getting to know Mexico a little, Li Mengyang found that this country still has some strengths, that is, population!
There are a lot of people, and now there are millions of people, but there is no exact number, because it is too chaotic.
Therefore, we can't underestimate this country too much, Li Mengyang mobilized three divisions as the main force this time, but now it has just been founded, and each division is actually only more than 3,000 people, to put it bluntly, it is these 10,000 people who really go to war.
This is the result of considering all aspects, Li Mengyang is not fooling around, because the current imperial economy, in all aspects, can also support the expedition of more than 10,000 people, and any more I am afraid that it will affect the entire development of the country.
Yes, Li Mengyang paid attention to it, but in his opinion, it seems that it is not difficult for 10,000 people to fight Mexico, especially Baja California at the beginning......
"陛xià! Wechen came to report! ”
Old Foggy Wind is now wearing a green general's uniform, and he really doesn't have the original chattering temperament at all.
"Hey, I'm old-fashioned, you're coming back, but you have to remember, don't do any more tricks."
Wufeng is the general personally ordered by Li Mengyang, he is now the commander of the Third Army of the Empire, and Li Mengyang deliberately dropped the eighth division to come, in order to train the former California Chinese Labor Army, to see their quality, training results, don't die like before.
It's good not to die, but it can't be too much, Li Mengyang has something to say.
Destroy the enemy and save yourself...... This is definitely a misappropriation of a famous quote from a great man.
"Resolutely don't do it!"
"Okay."
What is this talking about?
In fact, it is very simple, that is, when Wufeng was chatting with Li Mengyang before, he heard a word, 'so-and-so pill', this is a joke, from the future.
So, 'Great Qing Guo Pill! ’
That's how it came out!
Small action, really, this action is too small, but it's ......
"Your Majesty, I've researched a new one this time."
"What?" Li Mengyang was curious.
"Isn't your surname Li, I've heard of it before, there is a man named Li Qingyun, who is said to be an old immortal, who has lived for more than 200 years, and is still alive. You are also surnamed Li, he is also surnamed Li, simply, let's say that you are the descendant of the old immortals, you have the destiny of heaven on you, on the day of your next life, a golden dragon looms in the sky, and the Lingzhi lucidum blooms everywhere in the house......"
Come on!
"......" Li Mengyang can't look directly at the old way of the fog wind, this guy is worthy of being an old way, and he is really good at engaging in feudal superstition!
But Li Mengyang actually knows that in this era, especially the ignorant Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is really useful for you to engage in this set.
So what the hell can I do about it? Stop?
"Report!" Just as Li Mengyang was thinking about it, the voice of the herald outside appeared.
There is no word 'majesty', it must be a military newspaper, so what's wrong? (To be continued......)
ps: What's that, the black car begs for subscriptions, asks for tickets! Thank you very much!
