Berlin Energy & Power.

Ernst returned to Berlin, after all, the military academy could still run without itself, the textbooks were checked and edited by themselves, and the teachers in the school would not have major problems as long as they taught according to the textbooks.

And Berlin Energie Power was about to come and see it in person, and Ernst received news that the four-stroke engine had made a major breakthrough and was now making its first prototype.

Now in the laboratory, waiting for Ernst to accept it, this slightly bulky and rough thing in front of me is currently the world's first four-stroke engine.

"Let's get started!" Ernst commanded his men to begin the operation.

After the staff filled the gasoline, they took a rocker from the workbench, sank into the dantian, the horse walked steadily, and began to shake the rocker with a little difficulty, and the speed became faster and faster as the wheel rotated.

"Shopping, shopping ......"

"Boom..."

A huge puff of black smoke erupted from the chimney, and under the reciprocating motion of the pistons, the huge wheels operated along with the shafts and gears.

There was a lot of noise in the room, but it sounded so pleasant to Ernst.

Lenoir and his assistant Benz also smiled contentedly, this was definitely a great initiative to change the power of machinery, and it will go down in history in the future.

After leaving the laboratory, Ernst communicated with the technicians, "I am very happy with your success, this is a great initiative that will change history, this month's bonus will be doubled, and all employees will share 20% of their technology shares according to their contributions after future mass production." ”

Ernst went on to say: "I am very satisfied with this prototype, but the initial machine is still too bulky, so you have to improve it to the best of your ability, correct the accuracy of the components, and reduce the size to adapt to the work of small machines." ”

This is in preparation for the future seizure of the automobile market, where steam engines and internal combustion engines are mostly used in large objects such as factory machines and ships, so the volume requirements are not so demanding.

"No problem, boss."

Lenoir said confidently. Since Ernst found him, with ample funding and space, many ideas that were once unrealizable can be realized.

And the young man named Benz is also very good, although he has just graduated, he has good ability, he can often have some different ideas to supplement his shortcomings, and his hands-on ability is also very strong.

Secondly, most of the other people in the company are well educated, and Lenoir's ideas are well understood and implemented.

As managing director of Berlin Dynamics, Lenoir is more interested in research, but with someone Ernst from the Heshingen Bank to assist with the company's specific affairs, Lenoir has more time to devote to research and development.

Under the influence of these factors, Lenoir is confident that the progress of the work will be accelerated.

"As for the production of the product, you don't need to worry, I plan to implement it around 70 years." Ernst continued.

"Boss, is it too late, I think as long as some details are improved, this engine can occupy the market now." Lenoir asked, puzzled.

Ernst knew of course that the sooner it went into production, the sooner it would be profitable, but the four-stroke engine had too much influence on history, and it was not until 1876 that Otto came up with the first four-stroke engine, and it was only now 1865.

As a traverser, Ernst's biggest plug-in is his understanding of some historical developments, and if history changes too much, then his advantage will be gone.

The four-stroke engine is directly related to many industries led by automobiles, what if it causes history to be unrecognizable earlier, although Ernst has changed history, but at present, it seems that the course of history has not changed greatly because of Ernst, and Ernst naturally wants to maintain the development of history on the original track.

The four-stroke engine was planned to be unveiled five years later, six years ahead of history.

Therefore, Ernst still has to be cautious, and if history really changes, it would be better to be a few years later, but Ernst's careful thinking naturally will not tell others, said.

"Mr. Lenoir, this is actually the company's strategy, and our team surveyed the market and found that while the four-stroke engine has improved efficiency, the steam engine and two-stroke engine on the market today are fully sufficient."

Ernst continued: "I am very optimistic about the future of the four-stroke engine, so I want to maximize the benefits and lay out the related industries, so I don't want this great invention to come out early. ”

In order to appease his employees, Ernst continued: "You don't have to worry, we already hold the patent in our hands, and no one else can take it away, the future of the market is still ours, and we are only temporarily delaying the impact of this machine on the market, so as to better lay out the future." ”

Lenoir and the others probably "understood" Ernst's train of thought and put a long line to catch a big fish, but they still cautiously asked: "Boss, what if someone also invents a four-stroke engine?" ”

"Don't worry, even if someone develops it, our products are better and more advanced, and with the patent insurance in hand, there is no match for us in the market," Ernst said. ”

In order to completely appease everyone, Ernst pretended to be serious and said: "In fact, the biggest reason we postponed the launch of the four-stroke engine engine was to develop a product that could change the whole world. ”

Ernst continued: "The advent of the four-stroke engine is such an opportunity that we can later install it in horse-drawn carriages, because the power is gasoline, so let's call it a 'car'!" If you think about it, if the advent of the automobile, the decision is another cross-generational invention. ”

"Of course, I only tell you these words, today's content will be signed a confidentiality agreement, after all, it is related to the company's future development strategy, and you must be tight-lipped now." Ernst emphasized.

……

On July 13, 1865, the world's first four-stroke engine was invented, and these were made public in the declassified documents of the future Heixingen Foundation, so much so that some later generations said that Ernst hindered the development of the times.

If the four-stroke engine appeared on the market earlier, it would definitely change the times, and the technological explosion of the second industrial revolution would be even more violent.

There are also some unscrupulous media in later generations who use such headlines: "Shocked! This man is the biggest mastermind behind humanity's inability to move to Mars and enter the interstellar era ahead of schedule......"

Of course, this is all for later, and Ernst does not hear the fierce criticism of these people.
