This winter is undoubtedly hot for the inventors and researchers of the Science and Technology Academy in Mingjing City.
The mechanical sound of 'click, click, click', mixed with the sound of the high-speed rotation of the wheel, continuously came from the huge research workshop.
As soon as he walked to the door of the factory building, Luo Ji clearly felt a burst of hot air, carrying a special smell of metal and engine oil mixed together.
Walking into the factory building, feeling the increase in the indoor temperature, Luo Ji subconsciously took off the overcoat he was wearing.
At this moment, a goblin wearing a scientific research uniform ran forward quickly and bowed to Luo Ji. This person was Xu Jing, the dean of the Academy of Science and Technology.
"My humble minister Xu Jing, see Your Majesty!"
In this factory building, there was a lot of noise. Luo Ji couldn't hear Xu Jing's voice very clearly, but he probably knew what the other party said.
While raising his hand to signal Xu Jing to excuse himself, he directly turned his gaze to the huge machine in front of him.
The Institute of Science and Technology, as the name suggests, is naturally the place where his Myriad Realms civilization specially uses to research high-tech products.
The top talents of the goblins and their human races are the main force here.
And the project currently being developed by the Academy of Science and Technology is the steam engine!
Leaving aside other fields, Luo Ji intends to give priority to the manufacture and research and development of the steam locomotive for the steam engine project of the Myriad Realms Civilization.
Therefore, according to his request, the steam engine was directly developed on the scale of a steam locomotive, so it was quite large.
At this moment, the steam engine presented in front of Luo Ji has actually undergone dozens of improvements. As for the number of small-scale experiments that have not been reported, it is estimated that they have been countless.
At that time, Luo Ji got the design drawing, which was the design drawing of an 'early steam engine', and the word 'early' could not be ignored.
The efficiency of the steam engine at that stage was very limited. If you want to use it to run a steam locomotive, it is undoubtedly not enough.
However, this does not deny the value of that blueprint.
Under the premise of owning an early steam engine, it is undoubtedly much easier to gradually improve and increase the output efficiency of the steam engine than to start from scratch.
Under the full research and development of human and goblin inventors, while ensuring safety, the output efficiency of this steam engine has been completely improved.
Here, looking at the machine that was operating crazily, Luo Ji had to sigh in his heart.
The first guy in the world who thought of converting steam energy into mechanical power is really a genius!
How can ordinary people think of such a thing?
Without disturbing the staff of the Academy of Science and Technology who were dizzyingly busy in the factory, Luo Ji quietly retreated outside.
As the dean of the Academy of Science and Technology, Xu Jing also followed the trend.
Behind him, the door of the experimental workshop was slowly closed, and Luo Ji, who was standing outside, felt that his ears were much quieter.
"Xu Jing, this steam engine research and development project has been completed very well. I am very satisfied. Can the output efficiency of this steam engine continue to improve in the short term?"
Facing this question, Xu Jing answered after pondering for a while
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the improvement of the steam engine has reached the latest stage. If you want to improve it, unless you make a new breakthrough in research, it will be impossible in the short term."
Hearing this, Luo Ji nodded slightly, as if he knew it.
Afterwards, he beckoned, and Luo Yunxi, who was following behind, immediately understood, and directly handed over the document bag in his hand.
Seeing this, Xu Jing subconsciously reached out to take it.
In the next second, Luo Ji's voice sounded again
"Since no further improvements can be made in a short period of time, the steam engine research project has come to an end for the time being. In the file package are the design drawings of the new project"
Hearing this, Xu Jing's hands holding the document bag subconsciously tightened a little bit, and there was a hint of caution on his face, the design of the new project? This is an important thing!
But Luo Ji didn't care about these, but continued to say
"The equipment on the blueprints is called a steam locomotive. It uses steam power as an energy source. I want you to come up with the results as soon as possible. In terms of research funding, you can write an application report after reading the blueprints. I will confirm it." , let the finance department allocate it.¡±
"My minister complies!"
After giving all the orders that needed to be ordered, Luo Ji hurried back to the palace with his guards.
How important the development of steam locomotives is, there is no doubt about it.
Under the premise of having steam locomotives, in case of a war on the border, the troops in the rear city can take steam locomotives to rush to the border in a short time, which greatly improves the efficiency of support.
This is only the value in the military field, not to mention the value of steam locomotives in the civilian field. The greatly improved movement efficiency will definitely bring about a series of chain reactions, and even bring the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds. Development efficiency can be increased.
Now that the steam engine with sufficient output efficiency has been prepared, the steam locomotive project has also been ordered. In this way, it is obviously time to lay the train tracks.
As long as a standard model is confirmed, both sides can be implemented at the same time, which will undoubtedly save more time.
Luo Ji intends to hand over the manufacture of train rails to the dwarf blacksmiths. High-quality rails are supposed to be more durable.
And the task of laying the railway still requires a lot of workers.
This problem has always given Luo Ji a headache.
In any case, let the dwarf blacksmiths make the rails first, and then let the people in the construction engineering department confirm the route of laying the railway and draw a road map.
According to the current scale of his Myriad Worlds civilization, the confirmation of this roadmap is estimated to take a lot of time.
Therefore, Luo Ji put the issue of manpower mobilization aside for now.
Over the years, the large-scale development project in the western region has been carried out quite smoothly. After a while, there should be a wave of manpower brought back there.
When the time comes, just transfer that wave of manpower to the railway project.
Moreover, Luo Ji didn't intend to pave the entire civilization of the Ten Thousand Realms with railways as soon as he came up.
On the premise that the steam locomotive is temporarily put into military use, in a short period of time, it is only necessary to lay railroad tracks in the border area.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the troops in the border area can be assembled quickly, then in the same rank, ordinary invasion warfare will not be able to pose any threat to him.
One thing after another was quickly ordered, the latest steam engine was successfully developed, the research on steam locomotives was launched, and a large number of rifles and cannons were equipped, it was destined that the civilization of the Ten Thousand Realms was entering a "big leap" state.
Once this step is taken, it will usher in a brand new era!
