"Young Master, what you said is true?" Xu Jianyin asked with a shocked face and a trembling tone. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info It's not that he doesn't believe Huo Shan's words, but the information revealed in his words is too sensational. The role of the steam engine in the development of modern industry and the world hegemony of the British Empire, Xu Jianyin, who is the minister of science and technology of the Huo Jiajun, certainly knows it. However, what he didn't expect was that Huo Shan would give such a high evaluation of the use of internal combustion engines and electric energy, and bluntly said that they were the beginning of another world industrial revolution.

"Of course!" Huo Shan replied affirmatively. No one knows better than he did the causes and consequences of the Second Industrial Revolution, and the rapid development of Germany and the United States, which quickly surpassed the old powers Britain and France in terms of industrial scale, and became the two most powerful industrial countries in the world before the First World War. As a result, the world political and economic order has undergone significant changes!

The United States of America, which was originally only one of the British and French colonies, has become the most powerful country in the world after two world wars and established hegemony on a global scale by virtue of its unique geographical location.

Germany, another beneficiary of the Second Industrial Revolution, became the initiator of two world wars, four years of World War I, six years of World War II, a bloody storm, tens of millions of people killed and injured, directly contributed to the rise of the United States. The decline of Europe, the rise of third world countries, and the emergence of another behemoth, the Soviet Union. And China, which was once the most powerful country and science and technology center in the world. However, because of the decay of the Qing Dynasty and the warlord melee during the Republic of China, the opportunity to compete in the world was lost again and again, bringing endless regret to all Chinese in later generations.

No one knows better than Huoshan the sadness of nearly 1.4 billion people trapped in 9.6 million square kilometers of land, relying on family planning to limit population growth and maintain national stability, and being blocked by one defense line after another at sea. In later generations, even small countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines dared to openly encroach on oil in the South China Sea, and crackdowns on Chinese fishermen occurred almost every year. When did China actually fall to the point where these little brothers, who could only be regarded as vassals of the Celestial Empire in ancient times, were bullied at will.

In the past, Huo Shan had no choice but to vent his dissatisfaction on the Internet, but now he never wants such a thing to happen again. Therefore, when Huo Jiajun was just established in Taiwan in 1880, his main offensive direction was not aimed at the already poor and weak Qing government, but at the Nanyang Islands and the Indochina Peninsula in the heart of China.

Because he knows. The Qing Dynasty's huge population and land area were never swallowed by the European powers. However, the Indochina Peninsula and the Nanyang Islands are already their racetracks, and if they choose to defeat the Qing government and then turn southward, then the resistance they will encounter will be infinitely expanded, and Britain, France, the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, and almost the entire Western capitalist world are China's enemies; although the First World War was a very good opportunity, Huo Shan did not want to wait that long! Because he must annex the Nanyang Islands as early as possible before the outbreak of the ideological trend of national independence, otherwise what will be left to China is endless turmoil and unrest. and a large number of terrorist activities. Slowing down the pace of China's development is something that Huoshan will never allow.

"Young Master. Young master?" Xu Jianyin called Huo Shan, who looked a little dazed.

"Oh, well, is there something wrong with Mr. Zhonghu?" Huo Shan asked with a smile after coming back to his senses.

"Young Master, since the role of internal combustion engine and electrical energy is so great, should we increase investment in the various research laboratories related to these two aspects?" Although Xu Jianyin had a moment of doubt at the beginning of Huo Shan's analysis, he quickly chose to believe in the face of Huo Shan's incomparably accurate vision and almost error-free decisions in the past.

After listening to his words, Huo Shan thought for a while, and finally shook his head and vetoed, "No need, the emergence and practical application of any science and technology need enough time to conceive, and it also needs a large number of qualified scientific research talents." Although our own university education has begun to bear fruit gradually, and the two-year war and economic crisis have also allowed us to obtain a large number of high-level talents from the United States and Europe, alleviating the dilemma of the shortage of talents in our internal education, economic and industrial development, these talents are still too few compared to our needs, so if we put too many people into scientific research, then it will inevitably reduce the proportion of talents in education and industry, which is not conducive to our own development! Therefore, I hope that our investment in scientific research will resonate with the economic and educational development of the Chinese People's Army, and only a healthy economic order can provide sufficient fertile soil for scientific research!"

After finishing speaking, Huo Shan couldn't help but shake his head a little self-deprecatingly, "I've been getting more and more verbose lately!

"Don't dare, what the young master said is a pearl, Zhonghu is eager to listen to the teachings at any time!" Xu Jianyin looked at Huo Shan with a serious expression and said.

Hearing this, Huo Shan smiled faintly, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the establishment of the Agricultural Machinery and Construction Machinery Research Institute!" After a pause, Huo Shan recalled for a while and asked: "If I'm not mistaken, now the entire Ministry of Science and Technology, including the Dragon's Nest, has reached 120 horsepower, right?"

The 120-horsepower gasoline engine was successfully researched by Mr. William Maybach's research institute on the fifth of last month, but the weight of the entire gasoline engine is more than one ton, and now it cannot be used in other than the Kunpeng-class airship, including ships. There was a hint of fluctuation hidden in Xu Jianyin's tone.

After listening to his words, Huo Shan nodded clearly, and a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes. However, he also understands that although he has gathered a group of top technical experts in the world in his hands, and there is also his information and guidance, it is still too early for the research and application of internal combustion engines. According to the original history, it was at least not until after the First World War, after the acceleration of the war, that the manufacture of internal combustion engines and motor vehicles really matured.

Now Huo Jiajun's internal combustion engine can be developed to the extent that it is already very good, so Huo Shan quickly adjusted his mood.

"Mr. Zhonghu don't worry, I don't mean to criticize the Ministry of Science and Technology! And I also understand that it takes time for new technologies and new products to mature, and I can afford to wait!" Speaking of this, Huo Shan's voice changed, "Mr. Zhonghu has read all the information just now, right?"

"I've finished reading it!"

"How do you feel?" Huo Shan asked, turning around.

Hearing this, Xu Jianyin's eyes lit up, looking at the young man who had just turned sixteen years old in front of him, and there was still a trace of immaturity on his face, but the temperament on his body seemed calm and calm, and his face showed a look of sincere admiration, "Young master, this is a great invention, if it can be studied, then our agricultural mechanization can also be realized, I believe that if Mr. Jingru (Minister of Agriculture Chen Jitong) can see it, he will be ecstatic!"

Hearing this, Huo Shan smiled and nodded, of course he understood the popularity of walk-behind tractors in later generations, and it was this kind of multi-purpose, low-priced, and durable agricultural machinery that effectively promoted the development of rural mechanization in China in the first ten years of New China, liberated a large number of laborers, and provided enough cheap labor for China's reform and opening up and rapid economic development, which can be described as a huge contribution.

Therefore, when the Huo family army won the war with the United States one after another, and the decision to include the land on the west bank of the Mississippi River into the territory of the Huo family army was issued, Huo Shan suddenly set his eyes on the cheap and durable agricultural machinery of the walk-behind tractor, because the desolate and fertile land on the east bank of the Mississippi River, as well as the extremely poor road conditions, only this kind of machinery can perfectly solve the various problems encountered in land development and agricultural development here!

"Except for the engine, how long do you expect the Ministry of Science and Technology to be able to come up with the finished product and put it into industrial production?" Huo Shan asked closely.

Hearing this, Xu Jianyin's expression became precious, because the ups and downs of scientific research time are too great, maybe it only takes a flash of inspiration from a scientist to give birth to a great product that is enough to change the world in the next moment; but it is not uncommon to work hard for many years and still find it difficult to make any major breakthroughs in research. Therefore, Xu Jianyin is generally very careful about this kind of commitment and does not dare to make a decision easily, but fortunately, this walk-behind tractor has been guided by Huo Shan's drawings, and the most complex and main engine has been studied by William Maybach. Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Xu Jianyin slowly raised his head, met Huo Shan's concerned gaze, and replied in a calm tone: "One year, as long as it takes one year, the Ministry of Science and Technology will be able to come up with products that satisfy the young master!"

"Mr. Zhonghu, what I want is not only a tractor, but also its sowing equipment, soil loosening equipment, fertilization equipment, harvesting equipment, and tractor trailer and other equipment!"

"I understand, young master! I have already read the drawings of the young master just now, the design and manufacture of these equipment is not complicated, only need to produce spare parts for assembly!"

"Well, it's good that Mr. Zhonghu is confident!" Huo Shan said with a smile.

"Young master, what is the other crawler tractor on this side?"

"Don't worry about this, wait for Mr. William's 15-horsepower gasoline engine to be successfully miniaturized and the walk-behind tractor produced, and then you will consider the research problem of crawler tractor!"

"Alas, it's still too early, the rice should still be eaten one bite at a time!" Huo Shan secretly sighed in his heart. (To be continued.) )
