I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

As the ministers had guessed, Wu Changqing is now really focused on development and construction.

Other issues such as territorial expansion, centralization, and official corruption are relatively easy things to solve for him, not core issues.

What he cares most about is the advancement of social technology.

He has selected some people from the new batch of trainees to form a new scientific research team and asked them to work on internal combustion engines.

Previously, Wu Changqing felt that it was too early to engage in internal combustion engines because of the lack of relevant talent reserves.

Even if he took out samples and design drawings, no one could come up with them.

Moreover, the current steam revolution is still only in Nanjing, Shanghai, Suzhou and Guangzhou. Most of the other places are still in the agricultural era.

How to fully promote the steam revolution is the top priority.

However, this year, Wu Changqing suddenly felt that he did not need to stick to the old rules.

Just because the steam revolution was completed first in history and then the electric revolution was entered, one must follow this process completely, and it can be done at the same time, and it is not particularly conflicting.

Even if the electrical revolution is done well and develops fast, some industries can even skip the steam era and directly enter the electrical era.

For example, the steam locomotives produced now will be eliminated sooner or later.

If an internal combustion engine can be invented, a train powered by an internal combustion engine can be built directly, eliminating the need for a steam train.

It saves money and improves efficiency.

In the original time and space, some parts of Europe completed the steam revolution first, and then entered the electric revolution.

In some Asian countries, such as Fusang, the electric revolution and the steam revolution were carried out at the same time.

Those industries that can be replaced by electricity have omitted the study of steam.

Wu Changqing felt that he could also do the same. First, he concentrated resources to take the lead in the electrical revolution in Nanjing, and then directly implemented it to the whole country after the results were achieved.

In this way, some other regions can directly skip the steam revolution and directly enter the electric age. This is the most efficient way to enter the information revolution era in one's lifetime.

Otherwise, the development will be done step by step, and it will be difficult for Wu Changqing to play the computer again in his lifetime.

"According to these drawings and this sample to study, disassemble, and then master the manufacturing method, and apply it to various fields."

Wu Changqing endured the distress and spent 2 million technology points to exchange the design drawings and manufacturing process of the internal combustion engine.

Another 500,000 resource points were spent to exchange two internal combustion engine samples.

The reason why it is so expensive is mainly because these technologies exceed the current overall technological level by too much. If we wait a few more years and wait for the overall technological level of society to improve, then the price will be lower.

The price of goods in the system is not static. In the past, it took 200 resource points to exchange a meal of pig iron. And now because of the development of ironmaking technology, pig iron in the system mall now only needs 100 resource points.

Technology also follows this principle.

Before the steam engine came out, it cost at least 3 million to exchange internal combustion engine technology, but now it is much cheaper.

In fact, Wu Changqing can understand this. After all, before the steam engine, the high temperature and high pressure technology has not been solved.

The internal combustion engine also uses this technology.

The technology that has been mastered, the system mall will automatically reduce the corresponding price.

Wu Changqing asked people to demonstrate the use of an internal combustion engine. After adding refined gasoline, the internal combustion engine drove the shaft to rotate rapidly, which stunned everyone's eyes.

Some astute people have realized the dire prospects of this kind of thing.

Such a small object can have such a large power, can it not be possible to create a miniature version of the train?

They have learned from bicycles and trains that the speed of the wheel is equal to the speed of the wheel.

The faster the wheels turn, the faster the car runs.

With such a fast speed of the internal combustion engine in front of me, if it is installed on a bicycle, it will not take off?

In short, everyone realized that this thing is no trivial matter.

At the same time, they also feel the pressure.

The things that can be explained by His Majesty in person must have a great impact. If it can't be done right, I'm afraid I'll have to endure His Majesty's thunderous wrath.

"This is the conversion of internal energy into mechanical energy."

One of them, Huo Jiange, asked.

In the textbooks they studied, there was very little content about internal energy and mechanical energy. Because Wu Changqing himself didn't know much about it, he didn't write much.

Anyway, he knew that internal energy transforms mechanical energy, so he wrote this sentence, and then let the students figure out, comprehend and understand by themselves.

Almost all the textbooks he wrote were like this.

Anyone who can learn from the textbook he wrote is an absolute genius.

For a stupid person, reading that kind of textbook is like reading a book from heaven.

Of course, the future students will be happier, because many missing contents have been gradually supplemented by specialized talents.

It's just that sentence, some people have deduced something from the literal meaning and the related incomplete content.

For example, Huo Jiange can see at a glance that this so-called internal combustion engine works on the principle of converting internal energy into mechanical energy.

"Yes, it is the transformation of internal energy into machine

Mechanical energy, what's your name? "

Wu Changqing asked.

It is certainly not easy for people to discover this.

However, this group of students are all students of the second or even third stage of the university. He did not teach in person, so they did not know each other.

"Go back to Your Majesty, student Huo Jiange is Feng Xianzhong's student and assistant of Teacher Feng."

Huo Jiange said.

"Yes, being able to find this keenly proves that you have still worked hard to study. You will be responsible for this project, and you will thoroughly understand this internal combustion engine as soon as possible. The significance of this internal combustion engine is no less than that of a steam engine."

Wu Changqing's words made Huo Jiange very excited.

Although the completion of a project is definitely the credit of a team, how can ordinary people remember so many people, and often remember the one who took the lead.

For example, in the steam engine project team, Feng Xianzhong is the only one people can remember. Others were tacitly regarded by the common people as non-important people who played against Feng Xianzhong.

Therefore, the title of person in charge is still very important.

"Students must follow the hadith and forget to eat and sleep."

Huo Jiange suppressed his inner excitement and said.

At this time, the fragrant wood in other people's hearts is jealous, and some people are even dissatisfied.

After all, Huo Jiange just said that this is the conversion of internal energy into mechanical energy, and Huo Jiange is not the only one who knows about this.

It's just that others didn't say it like Huo Jiange did.

Those who can be selected are all geniuses, and they will not easily obey others in their hearts.
