Chapter 1109, The Great Leap
This winter is undoubtedly hot for the inventors and researchers of the Science and Technology Institute in Der Spiegel.
The mechanical sound of 'clicking', mixed with the sound of the wheel spinning at high speed, was constantly coming from the huge research building.
As soon as he walked to the door of the factory, Luo Ji clearly felt a burst of heat, carrying a special smell of metal and engine oil mixed together.
Walking into the factory and feeling the increase in indoor temperature, Luo Ji subconsciously took off the coat he was draped on.
At this moment, a goblin wearing a scientific research uniform ran forward quickly and bowed to Luo Ji, this person was Xu Jing, the president of the Academy of Science and Technology.
"Weichen Xu Jing, see Your Majesty!"
In this factory, the voice is very noisy, Xu Jing's voice, Luo Ji can't hear it very clearly, but he probably knows what the other party said.
While raising his hand and signaling Xu Jing to be exempt, he directly fell his gaze to the huge machine in front of him.
The Academy of Science and Technology, as the name suggests, is naturally the place where his civilization of all worlds is specially used to study high-tech products.
The goblin clan and the top talents of their human race are the main force here.
And the project that the Academy of Science and Technology is currently working on is the steam engine!
Not to mention other fields, Luo Ji intends to give priority to the manufacturing and research and development of 'steam locomotives' for the steam engine project of the Wanjie civilization.
Therefore, according to his requirements, this steam engine was developed directly according to the scale of the steam locomotive, so the size is also quite large.
At this moment, the steam engine presented in front of Luo Ji's eyes has actually been improved dozens of times, and as for the number of small tests that have not been reported, it is estimated that there are too many to count.
At that time, Luo Ji got the design drawing, which was the design of the 'early steam engine', and the word 'early' could not be ignored.
At that stage, the efficiency of the steam engine was very limited, and if you want to use it to run the steam locomotive, it is undoubtedly not enough.
But that doesn't deny the value of that design.
On the premise of owning an early steam engine, it is undoubtedly much easier to gradually improve and improve the output efficiency of the steam engine than to start from scratch.
Thanks to the full research and development of both human and goblin inventors, the output efficiency of this steam engine has been completely increased while ensuring safety.
Here, looking at the machine that was running wildly, Luo Ji had to sigh in his heart.
The first guy in the world to think of converting steam energy into mechanical power, Zhente is a genius!
How could ordinary people think of such a thing?
Without disturbing the staff of the Science and Technology Institute, who were busy in the factory, Luo Ji quietly retreated outside.
And Xu Jing, as the president of the Academy of Science and Technology, also followed the trend.
The door of the test plant behind him slowly closed, making Luo Ji, who was standing outside, feel that his ears were a lot quieter.
"Xu Jing, the R&D project of this steam engine has been completed very well, I am very satisfied, can the output efficiency of this steam engine continue to improve in the short term?"
Faced with this question, Xu Jing replied after a slight hesitation......
"Back to Your Majesty, the improvement of the steam engine is currently in the latest stage, and if you want to improve it, unless you make a new breakthrough in research, it is unlikely in the short term."
Hearing this, Luo Ji nodded slightly, knowing it in his heart.
Then, I saw him beckoning, and Luo Yunxi, who was following behind, suddenly understood, and directly handed over the document bag in his hand.
Seeing this, Xu Jing subconsciously reached out and took it.
In the next second, Luo Ji's voice sounded again......
"Since further improvements cannot be made in a short period of time, the research project of the steam engine has come to an end for the time being, and the document package contains the design drawings of the new project......
Hearing this, Xu Jing's hands holding the document bag subconsciously tightened a little, and his face also showed a hint of caution. That's an important thing!
But Luo Ji didn't care about this, but continued to say......
"The equipment on the design drawing is called a steam locomotive, which is a vehicle with steam power as an energy source, I want you to come up with results as soon as possible, research funds, you write an application report after reading the design drawing, I confirm it, and the financial department will allocate it."
"Wechen obeys!"
After giving all the orders that needed to be ordered, Luo Ji hurried back to the palace with the guards.
There is no doubt about how important the development of a steam locomotive was.
On the premise of having a steam locomotive, in case of a war breaking out on the border, the troops in the rear city can fully take the steam locomotive and rush to the border in a short time, which greatly improves the support efficiency.
This is only the value in the military field, and in the civilian field, the value of steam locomotives is not to mention, the great improvement of mobile efficiency will definitely bring a series of chain reactions, and even the development efficiency of the civilization of the world can be increased.
Now that the steam engine with sufficient output efficiency has been prepared in place, and the steam locomotive project has been ordered, it is obviously time for the train tracks to be paved.
As long as a standard model is confirmed, it is undoubtedly more time-saving to implement both sides at the same time.
The manufacture of train rails, Luo Ji plans to hand over to the dwarven blacksmiths, and high-quality rails are also more durable.
And the task of laying the railway, sure enough, still requires a large number of workers.
This problem has always been a headache for Luo Ji.
In any case, let the dwarven blacksmiths build the railroad tracks, and then let the people from the construction engineering department confirm the route of laying the railroad and draw the road map.
According to the current scale of his Ten Thousand Realms civilization, it is estimated that it will take a lot of time to confirm this roadmap.
Therefore, on the issue of manpower transfer, Luo Ji will put it aside for a while.
Over the years, the large-scale development project in the western region has been going quite smoothly, and after a while, it should be able to send a wave of manpower back.
When the time comes, just transfer that wave of manpower to carry out railway projects.
Moreover, Luo Ji didn't plan to pave the entire Ten Thousand Worlds civilization with a railway as soon as he came up.
On the premise of temporarily putting steam locomotives into military service, in a short time, it was only necessary to lay rails in the border area.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the troops in the border area can be quickly assembled, then in the same rank, ordinary invasion warfare will not be able to pose any threat to him.
One thing after another was quickly ordered, the latest steam engine was successfully developed, the research of steam locomotives was launched, and a large number of rifles and cannons were equipped, which was destined to enter a state of 'great leap' for the civilization of all worlds.
Once this step is taken, it will usher in a new era!
