It is difficult for countries to discuss the results of the spoils of the Far East in a short period of time, for the simple reason that the interests are too great, there are too many countries involved, and it takes a long enough time to coordinate the appetites of the countries.

Milan is the most economically developed area in Italy, with a wide range of industrial fields and industries, mainly metal machinery and machinery manufacturing, aviation, metallurgy, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, textile and garment, leather, shoemaking, rubber, agricultural products processing, food industry, brewing industry, wood, papermaking, publishing industry, construction industry, building materials industry, mining industry, glass ceramics, grinding, etc.

At this time, Milan could not become the fashion capital, but the textile industry was the largest, and there were as many as 30,000 or 40,000 textile workers in Milan alone.

Of course, there are many scientific research institutes in Milan, the most outstanding of which is of course the National Power Laboratory located on the outskirts of the country. Speaking of the National Power Laboratory in Milan, the past two years have been infinitely beautiful, changing the previous situation of relying on royal funding.

At present, the trump card of the Milan Power Laboratory is the internal combustion engine, the gasoline engine in cooperation with Fiat, and the diesel engine in cooperation with the Naples Machinery Factory, all of which are well-known.

Of course, in addition to these two well-known companies, there are also some other companies that are also engaged in joint research with the Milan Power Laboratory. For example, it has jointly developed a new high-power internal combustion engine with Italian oil company.

The internal combustion engine jointly developed with the factory has earned a lot of patent fees for the Milan laboratory, and these profits have been continuously invested in research funds, so that the Milan laboratory has become bigger and bigger, and it has become the most famous internal combustion engine research unit in Europe.

In addition, the fame is enough to attract domestic gas turbine experts from various countries to try to join. Because the Milan lab is known for its generosity throughout Europe, as long as your design concept attracts expert review teams, you won't have to worry about funding. Of course, if you are whimsical and want to learn from Viscount Tesla to study such a high-level project as wireless power delivery, then I didn't say anything.

Today, however, the Milan laboratory, which used to have a strong academic atmosphere, is gone, and the soldiers you can see everywhere indicate that something is happening. Yes, there is something going on today, King Carlo is once again visiting the Milan Power Laboratory.

This is the fourth time that the king has visited the Milan laboratory since its establishment. Compared with the Marino Electric Research Institute in the suburbs of Rome, the king's visits to the power laboratory seem to be a bit rare. However, if you compare the number of times the king has been on tour, you will find that this king, who does not like to go out, can come four times is already very important.

And Carlo is here today to come to the power laboratory, because his friend Diesel sent a telegram saying that the diesel engine has been significantly improved, and the small diesel engine that Carlo needs has been successfully trial-built.

Hearing the news, Carlo was of course tempted and immediately rushed over.

"Your Majesty, this is the small diesel engine we developed."

In a warehouse in the Power Lab, Diesel pointed to a small diesel engine in front of him and introduced it to Carlo.

For the finished product that Diesel pointed to, Carlo looked a little familiar, it already had the appearance of a later diesel engine, and the compact parts were integrated. The flywheel crankshaft on the side looks so pleasing to the eye. This alone is not in vain, nor is it a waste of tens of millions of lira allocated by the royal family every year.

"How is this miniaturized?"

Looking at the diesel engine in front of him, Carlo couldn't hold back and asked how it came from.

"Your Majesty, this small diesel engine can be developed thanks to the good thing of mechanical injection."

The mechanical injection device mentioned by Diesel is a key component of the diesel engine, due to the low ignition point of the diesel engine, all the diesel fuel that needs to be injected into the combustion chamber is heated and pressurized, and the previous diesel engine needs to have high requirements for the body of the diesel engine due to the use of air injection, so the diesel engine will appear very bulky, and can not move.

Now with the mechanical injection device, the diesel injection can be heated and pressurized in advance, which will reduce the size of the diesel engine and also make the diesel engine mobile. And this will also be a qualitative improvement for the use of diesel engines.

Of course, Carlo looked at the still rumbling diesel engine in front of him, and he already had a lot of future visions in his mind, such as tracked tractors towing heavy artillery, and future siege tanks, and tracked delivery vehicles suitable for transporting supplies and ammunition to the battlefield.

Of course, this diesel engine also has a role, that is, as a tractor for transporting goods on private farmland, which is an artifact in the countryside, which can plough the land, sow seeds, grind grains, and transport, and the benefits are not ordinary.

Just as Carlo was looking at the diesel engine and thinking about the future, the diesel engine in front of him suddenly stopped very unceremoniously.

"Your Majesty, it's okay, it's just a little glitch, just fix it."

Seeing that because of the strike of this prototype, the technician who stepped forward to prepare for maintenance, Diesel, who was also the designer of this small diesel engine, hurriedly explained.

However, his explanation was so pale and weak, because the technicians had not fixed it for a long time.

Seeing that it was not a problem, Diesel was going to come over and take a look for himself, but at this time he heard the rumbling of the diesel engine coming out again.

"Well, it's the piston connecting rod that's wrong, but luckily there's spare parts."

Several technicians rushed to report the source of the problem to Diesel.

"Okay, I got it."

Diesel, who had sent several technicians aside, hurried back to Carlo's side.

"Diesel, the failure of small diesel engines is a big problem, which you need to pay special attention to in your research, otherwise it will greatly affect the promotion of diesel engines."

Although I don't know what is wrong with it, Carlo has a clear judgment about the diesel engine at this time, that is, if the diesel engine has a high fault, it is very unfavorable to promote, after all, no one wants a machine that lies on the nest at two ends in three days.

After all, diesel engines are much more expensive than gasoline engines, and Shurian can make up for it from the low price of diesel, but it will still be a trouble.

Although Carlo came specifically for this miniaturized diesel engine, it was certainly impossible to stay here and watch this machine run stupidly, so after observing for a while, other development projects in the power laboratory also went around.

After some observation, Carlo saw several very good internal combustion engines and steam engines, these developed power machines, listening to Diesel's introduction, several of them are the world's leading level, whether in terms of power, reliability and even fuel consumption, are the latest masterpieces of the Milan laboratory.

Although Carlo did not have a clear understanding of the strength of the Milan laboratory, the display of a number of achievements gave him a general understanding of the strength of the Milan laboratory.

So as he was leaving, he took Diesel's hand and said. "The Milan laboratory's research on the internal combustion engine, I already feel it. In the future, I hope that the Milan laboratory will continue to make a greater contribution to the research of internal combustion engines. For this reason, I will ask the Royal Fund to allocate an additional five million lira a year, and I hope that you will continue to produce better results. ”

Five million lira is not a small amount for the people in the laboratory.

To this reason, Diesel replied vigorously. "Your Majesty, we will definitely call for better results."

"Okay, I believe in your promise."

In the good mood of the diesel engine and the tangible results, Carlo set out on the journey back to Rome. Of course, when he returned to Rome, a piece of better news made him a little unable to sit still.
