"A gasoline-burning car?"

Zhuge Weijiu suddenly thought of something, and looked at Zhuge Weidao with burning eyes, "Are you sure it's a gasoline car?" Are you sure the time has come? ”

"Yes!" Zhuge Weidao said, "I want to read the Book of Heaven, and there is an internal combustion engine in my Book of Heaven that can make the era of gasoline cars come!" ”

The military advisors present all showed surprised expressions.

This is a critical question!

In fact, the military advisors of the Zhuge family have long known that "automobiles" will be an important outlet!

Because among the twenty volumes of heavenly books left by the ancestors, there is one volume of "automobile heavenly books".

But because this book of heaven has not been unsealed, no one has read it.

Therefore, the military advisors of the Zhuge family don't know what this "car" is?

At present, there are four "automobile" routes in the world, one is electrical, the second is steam, the third is gas, and the fourth is gasoline and diesel.

Although this "steam" and "gas" are literally different, the direction of industrial development cannot be decided from just one word!

Besides, "gasoline" and "steam" are not all "gasoline"?

Therefore, the Zhuge family can only diversify its investments and bet on multiple projects at the same time.

In addition, it is uncertain when the "car" will be successful. If the money burns endlessly, it will be a big loss.

For a big player like Zhuge Shijia, if you can know in advance which route will win in the end, it will be a big deal!

As long as it is confirmed, with the financial resources of the Zhuge family, a few Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Ford will be burned out of the money...... This is a century-old foundation!

In history, there are many major automobile manufacturers that rose at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ford, General Motors, etc., all of which have continued their glory for a hundred years!

Moreover, the automobile industry chain is still the most important industrial chain in the industry in another timeline until the 21st century! For any country that is industrialized or wants to industrialize, the automotive industry is a battleground.

In addition, the added value of this automobile industry chain is relatively high, and it can afford to support the relatively high-income working class.

History Henry. Ford can issue high wages, one because there is a G who will make trouble; Second, it's also because Ford's profits are really high!

......

When Zhuge Weidao took the tram, slowly passed through a bustling neighborhood of modern industrialized Beijing City, which looked a bit fantastical, got off at the entrance of the alley on the west side of Goolan Hutong, and then walked back to his mansion in Goolan Hutong, the sky was already quite dark.

In addition to attending the plenary meeting of the Zhuge Family Military Division, he also read the book of heaven in the "library" for an afternoon, and then, with his amazing memory, he hand-drew a sketch of a four-cylinder water-cooled piston engine and handed it to Zhuge Weiguang, the "machine military division," and asked him to find a way to complete the research and development of a gasoline internal combustion engine with a horsepower of 20 and a speed of more than 1,600 within two years.

The engine was far more advanced than the 12-horsepower, four-cylinder, water-cooled engine that the Wright brothers had historically equipped for the Flyer One, and was almost on par with the engine used in the Ford Model T.

As long as this type of engine can be mass-produced, not only will the car engine be landed, but the early biplane will also be able to make do with it.

And Zhuge Weiguang, who is also the president of Beijing Institute of Technology and the president of Beijing Heavy Industry Machinery Design Institute, looked at the sketch given to him by Zhuge Weidao, and immediately agreed. He also told Zhuge Weidao that although the Heavy Industry Machinery Institute is mainly engaged in large-scale equipment, in order to support the engines for the navy's airships, it has already developed an 8-horsepower gasoline engine, and has also opened a small gasoline engine factory for mass production, with an annual output of thousands of units!

What a surprise!

So Zhuge Weidao and Zhuge Weiguang together to eat a "Beijing Institute of Technology" canteen meal, while eating and asking long and short, until the foundation of the Ming machinery industry was asked, then full of surprise left Longzhongzhuang - now Daming is indeed a leading industrialized country in many aspects!

The capital of the world war is sufficient, but the motivation to start the war is not enough.

This situation is a bit like the United States, which has developed in history, with the largest GDP and industry in the world, the highest national income, and abundant domestic resources and fertile land, which can be obtained through international trade under the control of the British Empire, even if it needs some resources and external markets. Life is going well, who wants to fight? Moreover, the United States at that time was not a financial bully, and it did not need the US military to maintain the credit of the dollar.

But only such a country is qualified to become the real protagonist on the world hegemony stage, right?

Otherwise, like Germany and Japan in history, the hard power is not enough, so you can only make all kinds of big bets, but you will lose after a long gamble, and it is reasonable to lose in the end.

When the tram drove into Xizhimen, Zhuge Weidao got a seat by the window, so he looked at the capital of the new Ming Empire, which led the industrialization, with curiosity and surprise, just like a "country Zhuge who had just entered the city".

Although Beijing is only a city with a population of more than 2 million so far, its liveliness is no less than that of Beijing with more than 10 million people in later generations. Moreover, this modern industrialized city of the Ming Empire, there are some temperaments that are difficult to feel in another era.

That is noble, confident, calm, firm, and open-minded...... This China has never fallen to the bottom, nor does it know what a century of humiliation is, let alone the experience of being reduced to a poor country with a per capita GDP ranking last in the world and its people are almost destitute.

It seems that from the very beginning, this country (referring to the new Ming Dynasty) has stood on top of the world, and it is the Celestial Empire that all countries in the world should look up to!

This is not arrogant, but the basic national conditions after King Zhuge Wuzhong expelled the Tartars and restored the Ming Dynasty - the beginning was one of the world's leading powers and rich countries, with four top industrial chains such as porcelain, silk, sugar, and tea. The silver that the Europeans worked hard to get as robbers in the New World eventually ended up with more than half of it flowing into the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty suffered a great loss of population after the war, and the huge country had a population of only tens of millions. Later generations have fed more than a billion people and distributed resources to tens of millions of people, which is really a vast land!

After King Zhuge Wuzhong successfully implemented the Juntian system, the consumer market in the rural areas of Daming was also fully launched!

There is no shortage of external demand, domestic demand, capital (the inflow of silver is sufficient), resources, plus the technology and talents provided by King Wuzhong and the modern education system he established...... Industrialization is almost a matter of course, and the process is not British, but American - the United States has always been higher per capita than Europe, and even higher than the rich Western Europe, even before the opening of the United States of America, the thirteen states of North America were very rich, otherwise how could so many poor Europeans run to the United States year after year? The results of the people of Europe voting with their feet could not be more accurate.

Historically, the United States, with its resources, land and "high per capita" population attracted by the chosen country, finally completed industrialization in just a few decades, and developed from a decent factory and handicraft industry to the world's largest industrial country!

What the United States can do, the new Ming led by King Zhuge Wuzhong, of course, can also do it...... And rightfully better!

And Zhuge Wuzhong and his descendants did "better than the United States", maybe what King Wuzhong wanted was a new Ming that was "better than the Soviet Union", but his strength did not allow it, so King Wuzhong and his old man could only be angry......

When he thought of King Zhuge Wuzhong, who was about to explode on the ancestral map, the tram driver shouted: "Goolan Hutong has arrived!" ”

There are many theaters and cinemas on Goolan Hutong, which is a big station, and half of the men and women on the tram come to Goolan Hutong to play, so they all get off the bus with a bang.

Zhuge Weidao got out of the car with the big guy, and also walked on the street of Goolan Hutong, which becomes extremely prosperous every night, and looked at the pedestrians on the street by the light as he walked.

The people who go shopping in Goolan Hutong at night are very young, most of them are in pairs, and they are very interesting to dress up - they are all the kind of evolved version of Hanfu, the materials and workmanship are very particular, it is summer, so most of the people's clothes are silk fabrics. Most of the men's clothes are white, black, and blue, while the women's clothes are colorful and bright. Some women's clothing is loose and flowing, while others are cut to fit a good figure...... This figure is really good, and it looks quite familiar!

"Natalie. Pavrovna? ”

Zhuge walked for the road, and actually saw the back of the suspected Natalie on the street. He shouted, and then he saw the four women turn around.

Not four Natalie, but Natalie, Nalandili, Big Black Sky, and Ali...... Among them, Big Black Sky is also holding hands with Natalie!

Seeing this scene, Zhuge Weidao's heart sank again: "Zhuge hasn't figured out how to soak Akong in his hands, you Natalie won't have it first, right?" ”

"Michiko! You're finally back! ”

Natalie took Da Heikong's hand and trotted to Zhuge Weidao, and said to Zhuge Weidao, "Daozi, we bought movie tickets and are going to see a movie...... There are guests at home, all of them are your colleagues in the navy, Steward Yu, Guo Xiaobao, and Wang Wen are entertaining, you should go back quickly!

Plus, I have good news for you tonight, a big surprise! ”

Big surprise?

Zhuge Weidao glanced at Da Heikong and thought, "Could it be that Natalie is going to send Da Heikong to me as a concubine?" It's a beautiful job, it's a good wife...... But you can't be in a hurry about this, Da Heikong has to be a side room, and his status is higher than that of a concubine, so he can be regarded as a half-wife, right? By the way, she can also get some dowry! ”
