Chapter Fifty-Seven, Curious Engineer
It's not that if you have an engine, you have a car and an engineering machine.
Chassis, moving parts, suspension, drivetrain, body design, handling system...... To build a good car, you need a lot more than just the engine.
However, the question of good or bad can be solved later, and with a suitable source of power, there is the beginning of everything.
To put it mildly, take the entire frame, the entire transmission rod, and the whole wheel of alloy plastic steel, and make a three-wheeled jumper that can run, and pull the board car behind, which is much more advanced than using manpower and animal power.
Now that the engine is available, if the design scheme of some vehicles and engineering machines is pulled out later, the heavy industry in Guhang's territory will be able to take a big step forward.
Before that, Gu Hang planned to find someone first, design a simple car that could move, improve transportation efficiency, and by the way, he could get some exports. If the output is okay and the performance is enough, we can make a three-wheeled small truck and match it to our troops, and the high and low will also be a motorized infantry regiment.
Gu Hang came to his secret base, where he dug a basement and built a fence, and the loyal and reliable servants and soldiers received strict orders to stay here and not let people enter.
Of course, the governor casually enters.
Here, the two technologies that were drawn out before and the four black box making machines are all there.
In addition, a lot of open space has been reserved. On the one hand, it is left to feed and produce the existing four machines; In addition, it is also convenient to place more machines in the future.
He configured the two new machines.
There are also workers in this secret factory. The level of confidentiality is high, so that they are not allowed to leak their mouths, they are required to live in the factory, and they are not allowed to go out without special circumstances, and they will be monitored when they go out.
They poured the raw materials into the finished black box for the production of engines, and soon, under Gu Hang's preliminary setting, two engines, one large and one small, that met his requirements, were produced.
These two engines will be sent to the research institute and handed over to the technician who came down from the quintet to ponder.
Anyway, the self-produced synthetic starch production line is not eyebrow-raising, and it is a bit difficult to get it. There is no way, the industrial base and scientific research foundation under Gu Hang's command are all sparse, even if it is a relatively basic technology on the scale of the entire imperial civilization, it is difficult to get it.
This also proves how valuable the scientific and technological functions in the Gu Hang system are.
To put it mildly, if Gu Hang wants to meet the biennial tax payment in the future, whether the things given by the technology panel can be used well will be the key.
If Gu Hang had the ability to turn the Angry Owl Star into a small casting world, then there would be no need to worry about the lowest level of imperial taxes at all.
Back to the present.
The finished product was first made of two black boxes, and when the institute had a specific application plan, more could be made.
The black box of the production line is not in a hurry to move first, and also waits for the application plan to land, and then starts to produce the engine at full horsepower.
There's no need to rush.
……
Gu Hang had high hopes for him, and he wanted to figure out how to overcome the technical difficulties of synthetic starch and come up with an application plan for the 'stone' engine, so he scratched his head with a manipulator and calculated his secret factory.
Wu Jiarong was so curious.
Coming from a foundry world, she was a technical specialist who had the potential to advance to the rank of machinist.
But...... The internal fighting of the Mechanic Sect is much more serious than outsiders imagined, she lost the fight, not only failed to be promoted, but all her property and knowledge became someone else's, and by the way, she herself also lost her personal freedom and was paid as an imperial tax.
But since then, she can't count the time to run, but at least it hasn't continued to be miserable.
She was a technical commissioner, not a slave laborer, and when the Pegasus fleet needed to be reinforced, she was thrown aboard the quintet, where she worked for ten years.
Originally, she had already resigned herself to her fate.
Without the world of foundry, without the system of the Mechanics, it is unlikely that she will have much room for improvement. Even on the quintet, she was not the only technical specialist, and there were even several technical priests, but it was difficult for her to be accepted as a student and strive for the opportunity to be taken away from the starship in the future.
Even, after a long time, she still feels that there is nothing wrong with living like this now.
Don't be busy, don't intrigue, do your own thing, and maintain your part of the starship structure - especially the logistics system. There are still a group of slave laborers and junior commissioners under her command, who are subject to her management and deployment.
As for herself, in her spare time, she also has some leisure time, which can be used to research things she is interested in, get some gadgets, and entertain herself.
It doesn't seem to be a bad day.
And just when she had almost accepted her fate, a letter from Brigadier General Elithia sent her, along with several junior commissioners, to the production line and spare parts of synthetic starch, and sent them to the surface.
The good days are over.
That's what she thought.
Wu Jiarong found that she didn't seem to have the idea of accepting her fate. As soon as you accept your fate, fate will immediately give you a slap in the face, and give you a lower slap to see if you still admit it.
Ten years ago, she didn't win, she admitted defeat, and the next time she was going to think about promotion, she was driven out and killed, and she became an imperial tax that she could never go back to; Now, she no longer struggles, she feels that it is good to live on the starship for the rest of her life, and even plans to find a man to marry, and give birth to a baby while her body has not been modified to the belly, but she was sent to the surface of the angry star.
Anyway, there will always be a lower lower limit.
But what can be done?
She can only work hard.
It's just that after coming to the surface, she found ...... It seems that the situation is not as bad as you imagined?
She knew that Governor Gu could almost be said to have developed this place from a poor and white place. The industrial base and scientific research foundation are almost zero eggs.
But beyond that, everything else is all about the benefits!
She has no worries about food and clothing, and eats even better than on a starship; Although she received the order of the governor and was studying how to implement the synthetic starch technology with limited conditions, she could not eat synthetic starch herself.
According to the Governor's work division algorithm, her work score is quite high, and the ration amount and quality are good.
The sun can be basking in the daytime, and the night wind is blowing at night, but there is no such thing on the starship.
And more importantly, she has found her long-lost 'goal'.
This thing is empty to say, but it is actually a little bit to put it into practice: you know what the meaning of what you are doing.
She saw that the homeless people from Fuxing City in the camp didn't have enough to eat, and to be honest, she didn't have much sympathy for it, but through her own research, it wasn't a bad thing to be able to feed them. When the time comes, she will see the smiling faces of the people, she will receive praise from the governor, and she will know what her work is really changing.
It's not like being on a starship, day after day, year after year, but you don't see a clear work effect. Those guns, those machines, daily maintenance and interval maintenance, it seems that there is not much difference.
Besides, the topic of synthetic starch given by the Governor itself is quite interesting.
It's challenging, but it seems to be within my ability.
She's motivated to do things well.
And in addition to the motivation and goals, she also found another thing that had disappeared for a long, long time:
Curiosity.
She wondered what was going on with the Governor's secret factory.
