It was a foregone conclusion to leave Qingtang, so Ma Jinxi and the others stayed and quickly returned to Huangzhou with Mu Guiying and Mu Guiying's personal soldiers.

April 5th is a great day, and the Qiang people at Huangzhou City Wharf were simply shocked. If you want to say that the merchant ships from the Song Kingdom were originally big enough, but this time it was really awesome. Is this Shenma Black Technology?

A large ship of 1,500-ton class does not require manpower, no sails, only the rumbling sound of mechanical sounds, accompanied by thick smoke, can you shuttle through the river by yourself?

By the way, this incident was criticized in the Song Dynasty, saying that the Machinery Industry Bureau wasted playing the piano indiscriminately. Their so-called trial voyage was actually to pick up their director, who actually needed such a large ship?

This is a miracle in the eyes of the Tubo people.

I heard that this magical ship came from Daming Mansion, Song State. It took many twists and turns. The water level of some rivers made it difficult for large ships to sail. In this way, the design of a flat-bottomed ship with a center of gravity must be adopted. However, such a large ship and such a large load are also equipped with a mechanical monster. It can actually fill up supplies and not fall apart from Daming Mansion to here?

"What kind of technology is this? A boat that is so big and heavy can walk in shallow water?"

On the dock, many people who are used to shipping are shocked.

No one knows that even the shopkeepers and sailors of Song State who have rich experience in sailing do not know. But they know that the team of the Beijing Shipyard was part of the Funing County Machinery Factory back then, and Shen Kuo. When it comes to brain technology, especially the understanding of wood craftsmanship, the world today is beyond its reach, and they can do it.

"The Song Dynasty is amazing."

"Yes, there are more and more black technology. Not only this kind of big ship, but also the Suide Army to Baoan Army railways, and the Daming Mansion to Bianjing Railway, which were built simultaneously in the war, I heard that the progress has been halfway through. Once it is opened to traffic, their ability to mobilize materials will be greatly improved."

"Because the circulation is convenient, the food prices in areas after opening to traffic will be very stable, because the basic cost can be used to coordinate the materials from cheap areas to areas with high prices."

"As for the southern region, I heard that there is no large-scale railway plan for the time being. However, this kind of flat-bottomed mechanical ship is powerful and can greatly improve the efficiency of canal transportation."

"The most awesome thing is that the verification of the third-generation steam engine of Funing County Machinery Factory has long been completed. I heard that just as the great devil retreated from Zhuo Luolan in Xiliang Prefecture, the third-generation mass-produced steam engine of Funing Machinery Factory was offline."

"What is the third-generation steam engine? Is it powerful?"

"Damn I haven't even seen the first generation before, okay. But I heard that the push-to-weight ratio has increased by nearly 30% compared to the second generation of machines."

"What does it mean to increase the weight ratio by 30%?"

"You are called ignorant. You need to read Funing Industrial News more and you will understand. The ratio of thrust to the machine's self-weight is called thrust and weight ratio. Assuming that the volume and weight are not increased, it is okay to increase the thrust. Or if the thrust is not increased, it is okay to significantly reduce the volume and self-weight. That's all."

A guy who knows a little technology intervened and said: "I heard that compared to the second-generation steam engine modification, the third-generation machine is not as powerful as the second-generation. However, the new architecture design is more advanced and can be tapped later. I believe that it won't take long, with the strength of Funing County Machinery Factory, the third-generation machine magic will be transformed to more than 200 horsepower while designing the fourth generation."

"Does such a machine really have two hundred horsepower?"

"Some are stronger than two hundred horses because it is a unified effort and has less loss in coordination."

These are what people are talking about now. Basically, when stopping along the way to replenish water and coal, you can hear all kinds of people talking about this on the dock.

There is a sense of accomplishment, and the Song Dynasty really has internal strength now.

Perhaps more and more people are forgetting how all this came about, but these are no longer important, and it is meaningless to be entangled in these things. Just like when people in later generations take high-speed rail, they are generally not interested in arguing who invented and promoted the industry.

But as long as I have no one else, or everyone has the most advanced in our country, this is the source of national glory. Now, even if most of the people in the Song Dynasty have never seen trains and steam engines, they can tell them all about one, two, and three. The reason is that this is their superiority compared to the people of Liao and Xixia.

At this moment, Wang Rong felt as if he had a different life after listening to these news.

Back then, it was so cold that the steam engines made by a group of grassroots were not only as if they were about to fall apart, but also were stupid and thick. The machine was so big and had a poor lifespan. It took less than half a year and was only thirty horsepower.

Now, Wang Yun saw that the assembly of the machine assembled on the large ship is much smaller, only half as large as it was at the time, but it can provide 120 horsepower output. Given the improvement of technology and materials, and Shen Kuo has refined lubricating materials with better quality, the operating life is now more than five times that of the time.

In other words, the commercial environment for steam engines is basically mature now. Isn’t it cost-effective to use a steam engine? At least it is no longer a loss.

However, due to insufficient production capacity, no one except Ye Qinghua and the government can get the goods, and it is still in Ye Qinghua's exclusive period.

The machine factory installed on the big ship is a second-generation magical version. The machine factory believes that although the push-to-weight ratio and process parameters of the third generation are better, the new thing is not as mature and stable as the old thing, so it is not in a hurry to try it out on the flagship used by the leader, just be stable and resistant to grass. This is the view of Xu Langshan, the head of the machine factory.

If it were Shen Kuo, that playboy, he actually prefers to show off his new things and new technologies.

On this issue, Dalian supports Uncle Xu Langshan. The so-called safety first. If the leader's ship is blown up, don't cry? Is it the only one who is Shen Kuo's big playboy who experiments with the glider himself?

By the way, before he arrived in Beijing, Wang Yun received a document written by a censor. The Censorate said: He paid serious attention to Shen Kuo's behavior of wasting the resources of the state and making a dandy playboy, and warned Wang Yun, the governor of the Machinery Industry Bureau.

This is because Wang Yun provided ideas a while ago, approved funds, and allowed Shen Kuo to build the most primitive "wind tunnel system" to facilitate him to test aerodynamic parameters without breaking his head again. By the way, his head is too valuable now.

The extremely simple wind tunnel system, as the technical verification device of the "Second Aviation Institute" under the Machinery Industry Bureau, uses the latest third-generation steam engine to drive the turbine using a larger speed ratio, and then "blow hard" in a specific environment.

The current design is still very chilling, with a low start, resulting in insufficient wind speed and unable to test larger-shaped parameters, but testing is more than enough for a glider with a load of one or two.

The Machinery Industry Bureau was born by Wang Rong and formulated relevant regulations. However, at that time, Dalian was still a bare commander and had no subordinates. He led the volunteer army to fight west because of the emergency in the Hehuang battlefield.

So just like Lu Huiqing in Funing County, the subsequent organizational structure and various work were basically completed by Shen Kuo. In addition to being a technical resident, this kid also has some organizational foundations, because before that, he was the chief clerk of a county.

In his hands, the current Industrial Bureau has the so-called "Railway First Hospital", "Aviation Second Hospital", and the third ship design institute that had just been established, referred to as "301 Institute". Because the Shipyard has just been built, it is nicknamed "Institute" by the people of the Aviation Institute Railway Institute.

As for why he named it like this, Wang Rong didn't understand it. In short, what Shen Kuo made was these rosters and submitted them to the Zhongshu Division for customization. Now Wang Rong can't do anything to them.

These are the joyful news obtained by sailing in April. Overall, the Song Dynasty is truly booming.

For Wang Yun, the most urgent task is to think about the exam. If you can't afford the exam, just quit your official position and go home to pick up your wife and children, and do business and make money, or set up an East India company to go overseas and be a bad guy. It seems that it's good?

Finally, Lu Huiqing is no longer a county magistrate. Due to his good political achievements and his amazing logistical ability when coordinating the battlefield of the Volunteer Army, he is now the magistrate of Yinzhou.

The capital is still in Funing County, and the administrative district is not very different from before, but now it is at the state level and is still Shangzhou, and it is considered an industrial center directly under the imperial court.

At that time, due to diplomatic issues with Xixia, the name "Yinzhou" could not appear on the surface, but now Xixia has no temper. After the Volunteer Army's great victory in Beichuan Hekou, Fu Bi decisively informed the world to restore the Yinzhou administrative region, and Lu Huiqing's magistrate, and was not subject to the Northwest Transport Department and was directly managed by the Secretary of the Central Committee.

This is actually the first "municipality" in the Song Dynasty...

As Shen Kuo's childhood playmate, Chen Fan was also a technical mate. Although he was not a soldier and prostitute together, he was also a close friend who caused trouble together. For example, when he was a kid, they ignited the "natural gas well" together.

Last year, the big playboy Shen Kuo obtained a dispatch in Beijing. The law belonged to the new agency, the Machinery Industry Bureau. Hearing that there was sufficient funds for squandering, Chen Fan decisively went to Shen Kuo to participate in oil research together.

Although these technical homes were the earliest people to enlighten, they had no choice but to have weak basic knowledge and needed to further their studies. The most mature place for the development of mathematics, physics and chemistry during that period was the "Coal College" under the Beijing Coal Field.

So Shen Kuo and his uncle signed a "commissioned further study agreement". Chen Fan became the first "public graduate student" of the Machinery Industry Bureau. He went to Beijing for further study with full salary. It seemed that the effect was good, so Shen Kuo approved more funds and expanded the scale of graduate student dispatch.

To this day, there are not only children’s primary schools in coal yards, but also children’s middle schools and coal colleges.

This title is too ugly. The actual controller is Wang Rong, but Cao Ji is the honorary dean. Given that my uncle, the coal boss, had a coal complex, he must be named, and the resistance from the corrupt scholar is small. After all, he is the queen's incompetent brother.

During the further study, Chen Fan showed excellent learning talent and put forward many new knowledge and arguments, which Wang Rong had not mentioned at that time. He became one of the science elites.

Yes, the basic knowledge level in the Song Dynasty is now higher than the enlightenment proposed by Wang Rong at that time. This is the achievement. It is the midsummer fruits that are widely sown after investing funds.

The basic knowledge they improved was that Wang Meng couldn't remember the things they had at that time, but after they made them out, Wang Meng could understand them so that they could provide timely guidance and keep the route correct so as not to take detours.

Scholars are actually the most stubborn and difficult to convince in this world. Once they have identified a theory, it is difficult to correct the bloodshed without touching it. But the advantage of prestige is that when the great devils today say they will recognize it and dare not refute it.

It is because Wang Rong has made great achievements in all aspects and has basically not missed it. In the industry, he is the tutor and pioneer of systematically proposing mathematics, physics and chemistry. This halo has a very far-reaching influence on the non-Confucian academic community.

To this day, unless it is actually proved that Wang Rong is wrong, someone may be able to take his official position, but he is basically unable to deny his achievements as a "guide-leader mentor" in a specific field.

This is the alternative leader halo.

With sufficient funds and first-mover experience in oil research, as well as basic knowledge and experiments, the Song Dynasty has made great progress in the past year of fighting against foreign wars.

In Chen Fan's opinion, the energy density of the tincture oil in the Industrial Department is now extremely fierce.

Chen Fan swore that he had never thought that fuel could burst out such firepower before.

But there are still flaws, and some craftsmanship is not very clear.

This requires the information of the Ministry of War to confirm each other. However, the Ministry of War refused to visit and refused to sell the secret recipe for the process flow.

Although they are all government agencies, in traditional concepts, the Ministry of War is a heavyweight major, while the Industrial Bureau is the second-tier "enterprise and institution", which is despised by everyone. In addition, the Great Demon King cannot be separated and cannot conduct public relations on these things. Therefore, under the conservative thinking of hiding secret recipes, the Industrial Bureau's requirements are not welcomed.

This is very realistic and objective.

Speaking of which, a bunch of people wanted to deny the Demon King in all aspects and asked him to withdraw his troops, so why would he still give the industrial situation a favor? So, a third-rate official like Chen Fan, let alone public relations, could not even ask for "relevant personnel of relevant departments" to meet.

Not everyone has a prime minister as their father, nor is every official has the domineering attitude of Wang Yun and dares to enter the central hall to petition.

Therefore, Chen Fan went to Beijing to study, which was similar to the technical spy sent by the Industrial Bureau. He secretly carried the task of bribing public relations and obtaining the process flow of the hot oil mill.

This is very difficult, and even Zhang Fangping couldn't help. Speaking of which, when Zhang Fangping was in power, it was the most ruthless to clean up the Ministry of War and reduce other people's funds. Until now, it was equivalent to Zhang Fangping's almost half-cool situation, and no one in the Ministry of War sold Lao Zhang's accounts.

"Underground Party" Chen Fan gritted his teeth and persevered. He went to Beijing to study for a year and saw the big picture. He maintained the frequency of asking relevant bureaucrats to visit Fanlou twice a month. After spending a lot of public relations, he still did not get the opportunity to visit Fenghuo Oil Floor.

However, as his knowledge and basic knowledge increased, he always talked about related things intentionally or unintentionally while drinking and chatting with technical bureaucrats. Over the past year, Chen Fan has basically summarized a rough initial form. These chat notes are crucial to the research and development of the "Fourth Petroleum Institute" of the Industrial Bureau.

It's not easy. This is already considered a secret spy from the Industrial Bureau. There is no way to go through the regular channels. It took countless funds. After a year and dozens of chats and tests, the general process of the Ministry of War was gradually derived.

These chat notes are of course useless for outsiders, but for Chen Fan, a top technician in the industry, although these conversations are not all practical information, they can be studied and verified.

All this was because they had a good leader. Wang Yun rolled around in the war and was cheating on Fu Bi, so he helped these people get the administrative staff. Otherwise, with the class superiority of the Song Dynasty, Chen Fan would spend money to treat guests, and even those who were related to the people would not go to the banquet, and those who gave gifts would not accept it.

At this point, the vigorous fuel industry process is about to begin.

Chen Fan, in the Coal College, has obtained feedback and confirmation of various materials and cooperated with the college's staff to conduct a large number of experimental research. Therefore, he has formulated several technical indicators for different fuels from the Fourth Academy of Petroleum and marked them with numbers.

These are all technical crystallizations, all exceeding the traditional fierce turbulent oil of the Ministry of War. However, there are still some difficulties to overcome from the "gasoline" required by the Great Demon King.

The direction is right, but it is not a problem to manufacture it. The difficulty lies in the fact that the refining process is not yet mature, and at least it is impossible to refine it on a large scale.

In this regard, Wang Rong had a long time ago instructing: the compression ratio of the internal combustion engine in the early stage was very low, and the fuel must be effectively and fully "atomized" to the maximum extent to combine with the air and compress and ignite. If the mixture is not enough, it will not burst out enough energy, which is commonly known as "deficiency of oxygen and incomplete combustion". Such internal combustion engines are not a big problem to use for farming, but if you want to push the plane into the sky, you are just dreaming.

Therefore, this has high process requirements on the texture and shape of the fuel.

Under the rule of the Great Demon King, everyone is a very bloody "pyramid scheme" state. It does not require the Great Demon King himself to be there. The entire team has entered the automatic rate and is competing with each other. No one wants to fall behind.

As the leader of the Fourth Academy of Petroleum, Chen Fan had only a few subordinates at the earliest, and was nicknamed "School 401" by colleagues from the Industrial Bureau. Now the sons of the Aviation Academy have actually built a wind tunnel and made great progress in related fields.

Not to mention surpassing, in this technical competition, Institute 401 cannot be too backward. Damn it stole many achievements from the Ministry of War. If the railway and aviation institute with zero foundation are still ahead, it would be a shame. According to the words of the second in command, Shen Kuo, there is really a reason to "revoke the institute and set up a institute". Of course, the system must be reduced without results.

Shen Kuo was under pressure from Shen Kuo. He was responsible for the great devil and invested a lot of resources, staffing and funds. If there was no progress, it was a bureaucratic organization and someone would always take the blame.

These are the shadows that have been lingering in the heart of Chen Fan, the chief clerk of the 401st Institute, and cannot be removed.

There is a belief that "go ahead and move forward." No one knows where you can go. Without anyone urging you, Chen Fan wants to deliver a technical answer sheet while the Great Demon King is in charge. It doesn't matter what the meaning is. Anyway, he just wants to do it and not disappoint the Great Demon King.

But at the end of April, Chen Fan, who graduated from Coal College and wanted to return to Beijing with countless experiences, information and notes, was arrested in the account. The reason was: stealing state secrets.

There were wrong signs as early as early March. My uncle Cao Ji, who had insider information, warned Chen Fan and said only one sentence: "Run, go back to Beijing to hide from Zhang Fangping's house. For any other problems, wait until the great devil is instructed and then slowly talk about the kids."

But Chen Fan was afraid that he would not be able to explain clearly after running away, and did not dare to trust his uncle completely, so he wrote a letter to ask Shen Kuo for instructions.

However, Shen Kuo is also an idiot in this regard and has not replied to Chen Fan for a long time.

Shen Kuo was not immune to these aspects, and he was afraid that he would not be able to explain it after running away. He was also afraid that after replying to instruct his subordinates to "escape", even Shen Kuo himself was brought in across provinces, so the Industrial Bureau would cry and be blinded.

So in this way, how did the news leak? No one knew how the Industrial Bureau, such an unvalued enterprise, was targeted by the relevant departments. In short, Chen Fan was caught for tea at the end of April, and no one knew where he was locked up...
Chapter completed!
