The theoretical system for manufacturing nuclear weapons has been fully taught, the nuclear weapons research institute has begun construction, and Li Changfeng is finally idle.

Of course, even if the relevant theories are taught, but really, Li Changfeng only knows a little about nuclear weapons, and he is fortunate to have seen relevant popular science books and videos in his previous life, but if he wants to get out the real nuclear weapons, he doesn't know that he can do it in the Year of the Monkey.

Of course, I want to get a starting point.

What if it succeeds?

Then, Li Changfeng began to inspect the various industries under his command, except for the beer barbecue city, which is not particularly hot because of the weather, the other industries are doing very well.

Especially the hot pot at the bottom of the lake, it's a hot mess.

Li Changfeng is making money every day.

The entire Daqian, except for the eight great families, is now the richest among him.

The temperature is warmer, the snow is melting, and a warm spring is in sight.

Li Changfeng went to the vegetable planting base, had in-depth exchanges with experienced farmers, and decided to open up a test field to prepare for planting sweet potatoes.

After making these arrangements, Li Changfeng inspected the artillery and musket manufacturing factories.

Everything is going in order.

Li Changfeng was idle and returned to the leisurely days when he slept until he woke up naturally.

this day.

Li Changfeng was basking in the sun in the house, and Liang Dafu sent someone to invite him to the scientific research institute, but he didn't say anything specific.

Li Changfeng thought that he had encountered some theoretical problem in the study of nuclear weapons, so he did not delay in riding away on a fast horse, but when he arrived, he found that it was not a problem in the field of nuclear weapons research.

Liang Dafu looked excited: "Your Highness, there has been a major breakthrough in the research of steam engines!" ”

Li Changfeng was overjoyed in his heart, and then he was a little helpless: "I said Lao Liang, didn't this prince tell you, put all your energy on nuclear weapons research, why did you go to work on steam engines again?" ”

"Your Highness, according to your theory of nuclear weapons manufacturing, the process of purifying radioactive elements requires a lot of mechanical kinetic energy to assist in the implementation, how can you do it without a steam engine?"

"Uh...... All right. ”

Li Changfeng was speechless.

Screening and separation of radioactive element minerals does require mechanical power.

Moreover, the power provided by the steam engine is far from enough.

Li Changfeng's brain was racing, and he began to consider the feasibility of manufacturing internal combustion engines and electric motors.

However, the progress of nuclear weapons research is still in the process of verifying the theoretical system, and Li Changfeng did not think much about which step is still far away.

"Tell me, what a major breakthrough in the steam engine."

Li Changfeng was a little excited.

If the steam engine breaks through again, what tricks can it come up with?

Liang Dafu was very excited, and pointed to a huge object covered with a white cloth in the distance: "Your Highness, you come with me!" ”

As he spoke, he ran over quickly and lifted the white cloth.

Li Changfeng, who was originally lacking in interest, suddenly widened his eyes.

"This ...... This is...... Steam car?! ”

In front of him was a steel monster about two feet long, one foot high, and about one foot wide.

At the front of the car was a modified steam engine, in the middle of the body was a workshop, and at the rear was a cargo box filled with coal.

There are three seats on the roof.

There is a separate seat in front with something like a steering wheel and a number of joysticks, obviously the driver's seat.

The two seats in the back, nothing special, are obviously passenger seats.

The four stout wheels below are made of metal throughout, and the surface of the wheels is deliberately shaped at the time of forging, which is obviously used to increase friction.

In terms of styling, the car is very weird, and the driver's seat is a bit too high.

The only plus is that the view is very good.

Li Changfeng was a little confused.

There is no information about steam cars in my previous memories, only that the first car was a horizontal single-cylinder two-stroke gasoline engine, and I have forgotten who invented it.

Now Liang Dafu has actually made a steam car?!

Can this thing really run?

Seeing Li Changfeng's confused face, Liang Dafu became even more excited, and introduced it with his hands and dances.

"Your Highness, I have already experimented with this car, and it can run! It's just that the speed is a little slow, I didn't get the gearbox you said, and the speed can only be controlled by adjusting the steam pressure! There is also a bit of a problem with the brakes, which are parked by friction with the ground! ”

"Steering is also a problem, the angle is too small, the turning radius is too large and a bit troublesome, by the way, there is no reverse gear, this I have a new idea, I can hang reverse gear without a gearbox......"

Liang Dafu introduced very quickly, and the more Li Changfeng listened, the more he admired him.

What a scientific genius!

Li Changfeng thought of a question.

Didn't Liang Dafu study steam trains in the first place?

What's wrong with his cars?

Li Changfeng asked this question.

Liang Dafu's face was full of helplessness.

"Your Highness, do you know how much scrap steel there is as you envisioned for that steam train? In the continuous manufacture of artillery, do you need steel? Do muskets need steel? Now you are going to engage in nuclear weapons again, and you also need a lot of steel, and the gap is so big, where is there excess steel for steam trains? ”

"Okay."

Li Changfeng was speechless.

He decided to use the silver to continue to expand the scale of the steel mill, and there are indeed many places where steel will be used in the future, and the smelting of other metal materials must also be carried out as soon as possible.

If he wants to build nuclear weapons, it seems that he has no choice but to start the process of industrialization of the Great Cadres on his own.

Liang Dafu was busy greeting the workers.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and burn the fire! Your Highness is about to test drive! ”

"Try to add as much coal as possible to the tail box, but don't run out of power halfway!"

"Also, move the water tank up and be ready to replenish it at any time!"

"Let people open the road in front, this thing can't brake, it's so important that the gods can't save it if they hit people!"

Under Liang Dafu's arrangement, the steam engine soon started running, making a clicking sound, and as time went by, the frequency of the clicking sound became higher and higher.

Liang Dafu's expression became more and more excited.

Last time, he only tested the car for a short distance, and because of the propeller shaft and wheels, he didn't go long before he lay down.

Now that these two fatal flaws have been improved, he believes there will be no more problems.

He knew it would be an invention that would change history.

Infected by Liang Dafu's emotions, Li Changfeng also had some expectations.

Moments later, the steam engine power reached its peak.

Liang Dafu bowed down and said, "Your Highness, please?" ”

Li Changfeng laughed: "Okay! ”

Climbing the ladder to the driver's seat, Liang Dafu also followed, and after explaining the role of each joystick in detail, he repeatedly told Li Changfeng to pay attention to safety and jumped down.

"Your Highness, it's time to go!"

"Good!"

Li Changfeng laughed out loud and pushed down the forward pole.

Bang!

With a violently screeching sound of gear meshing, the body slowly moved.

Click, click!

Li Changfeng's eyes lit up.

It's really moving!

He tried to play in the right direction.

It's hard and astringent.

The requirements for arm strength are very high, and ordinary people can't move.

Due to the immaturity of the steering shaft technology, the steering angle is very small.

But it's great to be able to steer, and the car is already manoeuvrable.

The speed is a bit slow, as fast as an average person walking.

However, Li Changfeng could feel that the speed was still slowly increasing.

He said to the people in the workshop below: "Add coal, increase the power!" ”
