"Your Majesty, this is the internal combustion engine I invented with diesel raw materials, and its power is 25 horsepower......"

As the inventor of the diesel engine, Rudolf Diesel is explaining his invention to Carlo and explaining its excellence from various indicators.

In fact, there is no need for Diesel to explain, how could Carlo not understand the excellence of diesel engines. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come in such a hurry, knowing that it would take half a day to get from Rome to Milan by train, let alone go back, which would be a day of delay.

It's just that Kaloch rushed to this physical diesel engine, which is a little different from what he imagined, and it looks like a vertical steam engine.

Of course, regardless of the original diesel engine, its future is visible. But for now, there are practical issues to consider.

"Can I say a few questions about this diesel engine?"

In the face of Carlo's words, who dares to say no without a long eye?

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Under the watchful eye of everyone, including the inventor Rudolf Diesel, Carlo spoke. "For the characteristics of diesel engines, I think Professor Diesel has made it very clear, so combined with its characteristics, I think diesel engines need to be studied in two directions, the first is large-scale, to engineering power and ship power, because compared with the current steam engine used in various countries, the advantages of diesel engine are obvious.

The second is miniaturization, the characteristics of strong diesel engine horsepower, can also be used as vehicle power, of course, this needs to continue to be studied, at present this kind of definitely can't be said. ”

Carlo is referring to the original diesel engine in operation, which is fixed to the steel frame, and the shaking range can be observed with the naked eye, which is definitely not good as vehicle power.

Carlo's words embarrassed the inventor Diesel, though he knew that it might be an unintentional mistake on the part of the king.

Carlo also observed that his words embarrassed the inventor, and quickly remedied, "This is just a little bit of my opinion, and it is still up to you, the inventor, to decide how to determine the direction of research." ”

Carlo's words made Diesel feel much better, how could Carlo not be moved by such respect as a monarch.

"Thank you for Your Majesty's attention, I will try my best to produce satisfactory results."

"Don't worry, if you have great results, Baron Tesla is your role model."

Carlo's words surprised everyone. Tesla is a legend, an inventor, electrologist, physicist, mechanical engineer, electrical engineer, and chemist of Serbian origin who is recognized as a master of electricity commercialization and the first person to apply science in Italy in practice.

In recognition of this world-class master, various certificates and medals in Italy were issued to him as if they were not for money, and in addition to King Carlo, he even rewarded him with knighthoods. It can be said that in terms of reputation, Tesla has reached the peak of success. As for money, Tesla is not lacking, the whole world can see the benefits of alternating current, and Westinghouse has never lacked orders. And Tesla, which owns part of the shares, will not be short of money.

Of course, there is no shortage of them, and he has recently begun to think about transmitting electricity to equipment wirelessly. The money he needed was expensive, and he had approached the head of the Marino Power Laboratory, but he didn't get the results he wanted, so he wanted to talk to his friend Carlo and get some support.

Carlo compares Diesel to Tesla, even if it is touted, which can be said to be quite important.

And in the face of Carlo's attention, what else could Diesel say, he could only hold Carlo's hand and replied vigorously. "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely do it, definitely!"

That's right, in this era of aristocracy, even in decline, this identity is very tempting for most people. And scientists are also human beings, and they also have seven emotions and six desires.

Carlo made such a promise to Diesel because he also valued the use of diesel engines. The use of diesel engines is very extensive, and at present, it can be used in mines, docks, and ship power. Especially for inland waterway vessels, the huge steam engine is really not suitable. The use of diesel engines on inland river vessels is simply unique.

After visiting the diesel engine, Carlo did not leave immediately, but under the leadership of the person in charge, he looked at some other departments, such as the gasoline engine, which has always been popular. In addition to the development of gasoline engines for automobiles, what large-scale, high-standard and other models make Carlo feel the research of gasoline engines, Italy is definitely in the forefront.

Of course, how to transform the technical advantages of the gasoline engine into other advantages requires Carlo's serious consideration.

The tour of the Power Lab's products was an eye-opener for Carlo, and time passed in such a situation. By the time Carlo came out of the power lab, it was getting late.

"Your Majesty, would you like to rest in Milan for the night?"

McClown, the new chief of the guard, stepped forward to inquire about Carlo's meaning.

Baron Felimici was in his sixties, and he was already too old to take up his job as chief of the guard. The idea of resigning was proposed to Carlo many times before, but was rejected by Carlo, who had no suitable candidate for the time being. The position of chief of the guard is very important, and it can't be done without Carlo's approval, and McLaren is the person that Carlo has gradually been able to trust over the years.

"Let's rest for the night."

Carlo thought for a moment and replied, after all, it was not appropriate to go back this night.

"Okay, Your Majesty, let's go to the Royal Palace of Milan."

The most important thing in Italy is the palace architecture, which can be found everywhere, but also in Milan. It was built in the Middle Ages, owned by the Italian royal family, and could have been used as a place to stay.

And just as Carlo boarded the carriage and was about to leave, he saw the captain of the guard, McLene, knock on the door. "Your Majesty, there's an urgent telegram from Rome."

As soon as he heard the emergency call, Carlo immediately opened the car door and took it. It doesn't matter, there is no need to send an emergency telegram, so Carlo is also curious.

When he opened the telegram, Carlo breathed a sigh of relief, this was not a domestic thing. In fact, this matter has little to do with Italy, that is, Wilhelm II, who apologized for the previous telegram incident. The Kaiser, who could not resist his anger at the British, had to write to Queen Victoria to defend himself: "I never thought of using this telegram against the British or your government......"

Listen, is this an apology, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the wronged person is complaining that the other party is too excited.

Well, according to Carlo's understanding, the Kaiser has been wronged, so he must make up for it, so the first act of the German Navy is a very powerful response. I just don't know, what good things will the German Navy, which received technical support from Italy, come up with?
