In the dim light, the rusty fence closed with a cacophony of voices as the researcher tugged at it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The lever pulled, and the elevator descended into the dark depths.

In the shrill sound of metal grinding, sparks popped out of the corners from time to time as they fell. A faint flash illuminates the young man's side face, and the silhouette looks a little gloomy.

The researcher smiled reluctantly, "Because the budget is insufficient, there is a lack of maintenance ......"

"I understand. ”

Ye Qingxuan waved his hand indifferently: "If the result satisfies me, I will increase my investment in the future." ”

"Thank you so much. ”

The researcher was overjoyed, and if it weren't for the awe of the young man's reputation in front of him, he would have rushed up to shake his hand and began to chatter about various potential research projects.

In fact, the Royal Academy was not so poor at all, and in the past few years, the annual budget allocated by the state is enough to feed ten times the number of people.

But I met Newton, who was the director.

He spent all of his budget under various names, and in fact more than half of it was filled to fill the holes he secretly forbidden.

All along, the royal family had a lot of evidence in their hands, but it was put aside, and even secretly protected Newton.

Because Newton's bastard is indeed a genius, and his talent is unmatched.

Not only was he incredibly accomplished in mechanical engineering, but for a time he even worked part-time as the director of the Royal Mint......

Some people are born to lie in bed and crush the results of countless people's efforts to pieces with their talents.

Mathematics, Economics, Mechanical Engineering...... Even in the field of musicians, who had no talent, he was still able to grasp some of the principles of alchemy through his own research.

When encountering this kind of double-edged sword-like bastard, no one can only endure it, and then continue to feed him with money and let him continue to lay golden eggs.

If it weren't for the fact that his personality and even style are too damned, this guy probably wouldn't have stayed in a research position a long time ago.

However, now it seems that this is probably one of his purposes, right?

Aside from his passion for research, the guy wasn't interested in anything serious. Even when he became the director of the Royal Academy, he went to brothels more often than he went to work.

Now, because of the study of forbidden technology, Newton secretly fornicated with the revolutionary army, and after many years of death, he finally broke out of the East Window Incident, rolled up and fled, and disappeared.

While everyone regretted it, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, I don't have to serve this old bastard anymore.

But what about the next research? Who will continue to do so many research projects that have been put on hold?

In this regard, the researchers also have mixed feelings.

At present, the director of the Royal Research Institute is still vacant, and the actual affairs are temporarily taken over by Ronald, one of the original deputy directors, who is engaged in power research, that is, the guy in front of Ye Qingxuan who has not seen the sun for many days.

A typical researcher.

Pale skin and skinny as a wood.

Visibly malnourished, hunched back, skinned fingers, white uniform stained with unwashed ink, bulging eyes but not wide open, with heavy spectacle lenses.

In silence, Ye Qingxuan opened his mouth and asked, "Director Ronald, is the research going well?"

"Ahh ”

As soon as he talked about this, Ronald immediately gushed: "In fact, the research is not difficult, it can be said that it is just modifying according to the principle."

After you unblocked the 'Carnot Loop' technique, it only took two days for us to get the first version of the blueprint. In fact, most of the time in the middle is just comparing the efficiency and difficulty of each link.

According to your requirements, we finally selected the most balanced and stable general design for production. Although time is short, but there are plenty of material resources, and making this kind of thing is actually much easier than an Aether engine......"

"That's good. ”

Ye Qingxuan interrupted him: "Then take me to have a look." ”

As if sensing his gaffe, Ronald smiled awkwardly.

opened the elevator fence, which was already quite stable, and asked Ye Qingxuan to come with him.

This is the sixth basement level of the Royal Academy, which is engaged in covert design and classified development, and is only accessible to a few people with access qualifications.

In addition to the four alloy gates, there are also various music theory matrix protections, everything is blocked by hundreds of meters of soil, and there is also strict protection inside to ensure that the leakage of secrets is prevented as much as possible.

Access can only be by the elevator for both people and goods.

"Right here......"

Ronald led the way in front diligently.

After passing through the layers of gates, Ye Qingxuan finally entered the No. 6 test site.

In the test field, there are still traces of various rupture remains, and the underground space, which is so large that it is the size of several football fields, seems to have experienced dozens of wars, even the ground and dome made of metal have been destroyed.

And right here, dozens of researchers have been waiting for a long time.

Behind them, on a huge trailer, a heavy machine as tall as a man tall, was emitting the pungent smell of lubricating oil.

The edges and corners are sharp, and they haven't even had time to polish, and countless pipes are entangled, making it look messy and elusive about its specific use.

As soon as he saw it, Ronald's expression became excited, and he didn't bother to introduce the members of the project team, and trotted directly to the side of the machine.

"This is the prototype, and although it looks crude, it is only a preliminary machine that can operate according to the principle.

If it can be adopted, we will be able to reduce its volume to at least one-third of its size, and its weight can be reduced by more than half.

Depending on the need, it is not impossible to reduce the output and power to a quarter if the output and power are reduced appropriately......

"Oh?"

Ye Qingxuan walked past the researchers, stood next to the trailer, and raised his head.

In the glaring light, which was not soft, the huge machinery made of black iron and brass on the main body looked boxy, like a strange heart plugged in with cables, and Ye Qingxuan could distinguish the various parts from above. It's like a hodgepodge from the garbage, and the parts don't fit together at all.

Some are pneumatic valves from the reverse flow valves, some are temperature-controlled furnace parts used in the foundry industry, and the main body is the intake cylinder of the ether engine used in ships......

There is no design aesthetic at all.

A test item that is considered to be made in order to achieve an effect.

In this regard, Ye Qingxuan had no objection.

In a month's time, it is not easy to come up with a prototype, but to do this, this group of researchers has already forgotten to sleep and eat desperately to work.

He nodded:

"Good. ”

Obviously, the researchers breathed a sigh of relief, and a nervous Ronald smiled, "Then let me explain to you how it works......

In fact, the way the Stirling engine works is clear to Ye Qingxuan.

As a substitute for the steam engine, the Stirling engine can be said to be another design born from the steam engine from the source.

However, unlike the obsolete internal combustion engine, it adopts a completely different external combustion method from the internal combustion engine.

It can be called an 'external combustion engine'.

Instead of directly pushing the piston by internal combustion, two different temperatures are applied to both ends of the cylinder through external combustion, and the working medium is driven by the temperature difference, which produces the effect of the piston pushing.

“...... In short, we create a cycle of heating and cooling through temperature, which causes the internal object to expand and contract as a working medium, which in turn produces a piston movement and outputs power......"

Speaking of research, Ronald began to be energetic again, chattering on the side, which made Ye Qingxuan frown: "Director Ronald, I have the qualification of a fourth-level mechanical engineer, I know these principles, and I don't need to repeat them."

Besides, wasn't the original 'Kano Cycle' technique what I gave you?"

"Uh, ahhh......hhhh

Ronald finally remembered the resume of the minister in front of him, and suddenly stopped in embarrassment: "Sorry, sorry, I accidentally ...... it"

The design of the 'Stirling Engine' and its principle, the 'Carnot Cycle', are both by-products of Anglo's discovery while exploring the remains of the Scourge.

Unfortunately, at the time of its discovery, decades after the Victorian tragedy, the Order declared steam technology a taboo area, and ordered the nations to stop research and not cause a second tragedy.

The era of the 'Industrial Revolution' proved to be unprofitable for humanity and was tragically sealed.

Therefore, Anglo can only list it as a technical reserve in case it is needed.

When Maxwell arranged for Ye Qingxuan to become the heir of the fifth department, these confidential libraries were also completely open to Ye Qingxuan, as a preparatory engineer who had an in-depth understanding of mechanical engineering, Ye Qingxuan immediately sensed the profound potential contained in this technology.

Now that the Holy City has been battered by the Hundred Eyes Raid, its influence on the nations has been greatly diminished, and the rise of the Revolutionary Army has begun to disperse most of the pressure, it is a good time for research and development.

But Ye Qingxuan also understood that once he started, he was afraid that he would officially enter the blacklist of the Holy City.

Not only that, but once the technology is implemented and put on the market, it will start to evolve on its own. More than one person has a brain, and in the hands of countless people, it will improve itself, evolve on its own, and update and iterate on its own.

In the end, what can it become...... Even Ye Qingxuan, the initiator, may be unpredictable.

And whether it will lead to a second Victorian tragedy, or whether it will leave a lasting legacy after it gets out of control, is not in his consideration.

It's like Stone said.

The world has awakened from the cradle of the Order and has begun to weep. Change will come, in every field, everywhere...... Whether it's war, production, transport, or life.

If Ye Qingxuan is timid, he will be overtaken by others.

Half a month ago, the war that shocked the whole world had already made this truth known to everyone.
