"How's it going, what's everyone's gaining?" Yang Heng didn't have much time to familiarize himself with the performance of the ship, and each group of people only gave one month, and he sent a total of two batches of technicians, that is, two months.

"Owner, during this period of time, we have learned some knowledge about ships from the shipbuilding masters, whether it is a large ship or a small boat, they have explained it to us in detail, and we have a prototype of manufacturing marine steam engines in our hearts."

Although the working principle of the steam engine is the same, the structure of the steam engine used on various ships is still different in order to match the use of the ship, and even the way of power output is also different.

After a simple coordination, in the end, this part of the technical personnel carried out a division of labor, some of them were as technicians of small marine steam engines, some were as medium-sized marine steam engine technicians to tackle key problems, and the last part of them were used as large marine steam engines to carry out technical research.

In this, the small marine steam engine is the most complex kind of steam engine, and even this is compared with the automobile steam engine, you know, it has a lot more types, from the simplest single-cylinder, to the most complex fast marine steam engine, the so-called fast boat, that is, Yang Heng intends to let them develop a kind of speedboat, I don't know if this idea can be realized, you know, this is a steam engine, not an internal combustion engine, the internal combustion engine only needs to be filled with fuel in the tank, but the steam engine needs to burn coal.

These steam engines, Yang Heng just gave an opinion. And what exactly is the situation. Yang Heng really couldn't figure it out. Therefore, everything in the future will be developed and produced by these technicians themselves, naturally, Yang Heng will also provide some suggestions, but these suggestions are not really useful suggestions, that is. These technicians can also adopt Yang Heng's suggestion or not, depending on whether his suggestion is useful or not.

And the most difficult one is that Yang Heng asked for the steam engine needed for the speedboat, and Yang Heng's suggestion was whether it was possible to grind the coal into powder, and then seal it in a sealed box, and then spray the pulverized coal into the boiler in the form of a jet, and even, the capacity of the boiler should be reduced on a large scale. Instead of decreasing proportionally, but the pressure will increase. Moreover, this steam engine turned into a high-speed single-cylinder steam engine.

"Boss, I think my project should be merged with these small marine steam engine projects, because I found that our research is a bit duplicative, which is a bit of a waste of resources, so I think it should be combined and developed."

After a period of development, Lao Zhang put forward a new suggestion, because in the process of development, the processing of some parts still needs to be processed in the processing workshop of the power branch.

You must know that these works are confidential to the outside, but for these developers, Yang Heng still encourages them to learn from each other, so there is such a scene.

This, Lao Zhang suddenly discovered that the small steam engine they developed actually had a model that was not much different from the model of the steam engine he developed, so he had this idea.

"Well, in this way, maybe it works, in this way, some parts will be universal, especially in the future of automobile manufacturing, not only to manufacture one model of car, maybe some heavy-duty cars can be developed together, and these cars are not just matched with these small marine steam engines, if after the gasoline comes out in the future, these small steam engines can be directly replaced with internal combustion engines to use, so that whether it is a car or a small boat, there will be a series of models, and there will be no faults, and it can be directly changed from steam power to internal combustion engine power. ”

Indeed, as for these small steam engines, Yang Heng was a little hesitant in his heart, whether he needed it or not, you know, he had not seen the introduction of this aspect in his previous life, the only introduction, that is, some cars, and they all seemed to be the result of a flash in the pan, however, this Yang Heng was not sure whether the memory was accurate or inaccurate.

You know, in the previous life, Yang Heng didn't care about everything, especially the development history of some things, he didn't want to know the most, but now, what Yang Heng lacked was these things, if he understood the development of every technical event in his previous life, then it would be of great help to his life through crossing, but he would know that he was going to cross, naturally he wouldn't know, if he didn't cross, those so-called developments were really not useful things, just history.

"Cheng, I promise you this, but the drive used for this ship is different from the drive used for the car, and you still need to develop this separately, do you understand?"

"Yes, owner, I understand this, I have basically eaten the general construction drawings of the car you gave me, I just think that this power part should be universal, naturally, this drive part is still different."

As a result, a brand-new department appeared, that is, the small marine and land vehicle steam engine research institute, which was formally established, and the corresponding medium-sized marine power engine research institute and large marine steam engine research institute were also established after a period of time, but why is there a power research institute and a steam engine research institute.

Because, in Yang Heng's memory, in the previous life, some large ships finally used steam engines as power, the greater the power of this steam engine, the stronger its ability, although some are no longer piston steam engines, but steam turbines, that is also a steam engine, however, steam turbines, in a short period of time, Yang Heng will no longer assign tasks to them, because, this thing, the need for materials, is more strict, so, this kind of steam turbine will not become Yang Heng's dish, Although this steam turbine will also become a fuel turbine and a power system for some high-speed aircraft, the airplane, which is the simplest aircraft, Yang Heng has not formed an idea in his mind, and as a thing in the air, the next step is already there, that is, an inflatable airship, and now, Yang Heng's academy laboratory is developing a gas to replace hydrogen, when will it be successfully developed, it is still a question, now, the hot air balloon is enough, so Yang Heng is not in a hurryNow the urgency is inland shipping, train transportation, and the next step may be to say sea transportation.

As a ship's supplies, the most important thing, Yang Heng has not forgotten, but he doesn't understand, right, so he has to hand it over to the shipyard to develop it himself, he can't get involved at all, and in the same way, he just provides some suggestions, what is this, that is, sails, spinnakers, and all kinds of sails, you know, sails are irreplaceable for long-distance voyages, especially when exploring at sea, when the fuel runs out, it must be counted on the use of sails.

However, this is not in a hurry, at least, Yang Heng has not thought of plans at sea yet. At least, when the railway is repaired to the seaside, he may apply to Li Er to leave Chang'an and go to the beach to establish a seagoing ship factory, besides, the railway to the beach is now in exploration, yes, it is only in exploration, when will it start, Yang Heng has no specific plan, mainly this line is not very important to Li Er, so this is also the next step, and there is no hurry, however, the marine steam engine still needs to be developed, It is entirely possible to build some small pointed bottom ships suitable for use at sea in his shipyard, and let those technicians scale up the steam engine accordingly according to this ship, calculate it, and then enter the practical use.
