Lin Fenghan smiled and watched the people below leaving, and said to Motel: "You did a good job. Now I want to go to our secret base to see what technologies have been developed recently, the progress of gunpowder and other offices. how?"
"Um!"
Mottleton gestured with excitement and said: "Yi Liuyun, the group of talents you found are really amazing! They not only invented a speedboat that can swim quickly without relying on sails, but also called that mysterious god The horse steam engine was installed in coal mines, bronze ore and iron ore mines, and we saved a lot of manpower and material resources by relying on the coal-burning machine."
"However, that thing also has many shortcomings. It pollutes the air too much. The mine tunnels passing by and the ships surrounding the machine are all dark."
"Ahem!"
Lin Fenghan gently turned his mouth and coughed: "Pollution is indeed unavoidable, but this is just a preliminary power machine. When we develop more advanced power machines in the future, these problems can be avoided by replacing the fuel."
"Yeah!"
Motel continued with a smile: "They have also improved the windmill, allowing the windmill to lift water, and the efficiency of grinding noodles has become more advanced."
"In addition, their main thing this month is to develop gunpowder and modify the artillery. They are trying to make the mixed gunpowder easier to ignite and make the artillery smaller in area and weight."
"Um!"
¡°Let¡¯s go see their latest achievements together!¡±
"good!"
Lin Fenghan and Motel walked out of the castle and got on the carriage and headed towards the secret mountain base in the north of Haisha City.
The secret base is located seven kilometers away from the small village of Alosenvi. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a bay recessed into the island in the north. The situation is very elegant.
Before Lin Fenghan left, there was only a small port, a shipyard, a gunpowder factory, and rows of wooden houses in the secret base of Elosunwei.
After just two months, Lin Fenghan stepped out of the carriage and looked around and found that the place had changed a lot.
"Hello, Baron!"
"Welcome Baron!"
"welcome!"
¡¡
More than three hundred experts, soldiers, and alchemists stood on the gravel field with smiles and applauded loudly in welcome.
"Hello everyone!"
"Good job, brothers!"
Lin Fenghan smiled slightly, got out of the carriage happily, waved to everyone, and walked inside.
Once a scholar obsessed with alchemy, now a scientific researcher, and Ali¡¯s deputy, Ai Luoliu, who is in his forties, thin, slender, and has a thin face, excitedly guided Lin Fenghan and said:
"Your Excellency, Baron, since you left, Dean Ali has entrusted me with the affairs here. During this period, it has been under the careful management of Dean Ali. A brick factory and a glass refining factory have been established on the Elloson wiki. Factory, engine R&D factory, warship R&D and manufacturing factory, as well as alchemy research and development team, ore material R&D team, etc.¡±
"Well! You guys did a great job."
Lin Fenghan clapped his hands gently and looked at the gravel underground and the rows of gray masonry houses and said, "Your paper-burning masonry is very good. This technology needs to be promoted. Gunpowder, engines, glass and other technologies also need to be promoted." Carefully developed.¡±
"I plan to build this place into a brand new scientific research and development city, and at the same time establish various scientific research and development groups to determine everyone's positions and research and development directions."
Lin Fenghan walked into a newly built two-story house, turned around and looked at Ai Luoliu and said, "Now tell me the main factories here and the person in charge of scientific research and technology."
"Okay, Baron!"
Ai Luoliu nodded his forehead and said: "At present, our main research direction is to mix gunpowder, upgrade gunpowder, purify gunpowder, and increase the ignitability, combustibility, and explosiveness of gunpowder. These are our main topics. Currently, there are three More than ten people work in this gunpowder research and development team, and these people are all scholars who were once obsessed with ancient alchemy. The main person in charge of this project is Carlos, who is also the director of the gunpowder manufacturing plant."
"The steam engine research and development team for power engines has more than twenty people. These people are talents found from all over the kingdom. They are particularly interested in windmills, runners, and power. The current main leader of this research and development team is thirty-five years old. Loves. He has manufactured more than ten windmills, and once specialized in port manufacturing of pulleys, cranes and other machinery. He has a particularly deep understanding of machinery, power, and rotation. At present, he has made a five-meter-long bronze. A huge steam engine three meters high.¡±
??"This steam engine is more powerful and its parts are more durable. It has improved the gear transmission structure and the degree of air sealing. Currently, this steam engine can propel the Fengyun, which is more than 30 meters long. Without relying on sails, the speed can reach 5 knots per hour. Relying on the coal transported by Fengyun, Fengyun can last 200 nautical miles."
"Yes!"
At this moment, a slender middle-aged man with a long beard and hair and a height of 1.78 meters walked in and said excitedly: "Baron, after research by many of our scholars, we have come up with many results. Many types of steam ships have been developed. In the past, we installed the steam engine in the middle of the ship and used the pulleys on both sides to move the sea water forward. However, although this kind of ship ran very fast, the steam engine was too primitive and its endurance was only more than 30 nautical miles. .¡±
"After you left, we sent messengers to improve the steam engine. The second model of steamer still used a fifteen-meter boat for experiments. The steam engine was installed in the middle, but the pulleys were changed to paddles. Unfortunately, the paddles were the same as wooden pulleys. , it runs very fast and will easily break over time, so we continue to develop it.¡±
"On the third Experimental steamship, we still installed the steam engine in the middle, but installed a pulley using bronze as the support rod. Unfortunately, the bronze was too heavy, and the steam engine was not powerful enough. The ship ran very slowly, and under high-intensity operation The outer layer of the wooden pulley broke easily, so we gave up and continued development.¡±
"The fourth experimental steam engine ship was the latest one we developed more than 20 days ago. We re-developed a steam engine with more power and a larger size. We also made a larger bronze pulley and used a steam engine as power. The steam engine is installed at the rear third of the ship. After starting the steam engine, the steam engine will move quickly to drive the bronze wooden pulley, and the Experimental Steamship No. 4 will start running. Unfortunately, the speed is relatively slow. Without the assistance of sails, it can only Speed ??of 4 to 6 knots.¡±
"very good!"
Lin Fenghan listened quietly, laughed and patted Loves's chest, and said enthusiastically: "Loves, and many of your experts are indeed the smartest among mankind today."
"You have done a very good job. I have also seen the Experimental No. 3 and Experimental No. 4 ships next to the small port. Things like steam engines and ships must be improved bit by bit and developed bit by bit. There is no need to rush. In addition, you have seen Windmill?¡±
"I've seen it before!"
"How come I haven't seen it before?"
Loves patted his chest confidently and said, "I have made many windmills and improved them to grind flour and pull water."
"very good!"
Lin Fenghan smiled slightly, and happened to see a bamboo dragonfly making mold specimens in the scientific research hall. He quickly pinched it in his hand, and the leaves of the bamboo dragonfly flew up. Lin Fenghan pointed to this and said to Loves:
"Look at this thing and the windmill. They are all composed of curved and inclined blades. Using this thing, the windmill and bamboo dragonfly can fly and rotate. This rotating thing can be used to make a propeller. Modify the propeller. It is installed under the rear of the ship, so that the propeller can rotate quickly to drive the ship to run."
"Propeller!"
"Rotating paddle!"
"Windmill!"
"Bamboo dragonfly."
¡¡
Many alchemy researchers who entered the house fell silent, frowning in thought. After a while, Loves jumped up happily and said loudly and excitedly: "Baron, you are really a genius. You have thought of all this. It's great. In about 30 days, we can create a new generation of propellers based on this propeller." Steamship.¡±
Ai Luoliu rubbed his chin and said: "This propeller sounds very reasonable. I think the combination of this propeller and the steam engine can become the main power ship of the new generation."
"Um!"
"Um!"
Loves, Carlos, dynamic research scholar Chafir and others all nodded.
At this moment, a young man in his twenties, 1.75 meters tall, with blond hair and a shawl, who looked very slender and looked very thin suddenly said in surprise: "Bamboo dragonfly! Propeller, taxiing machine!"
"Since human hands can make the leaves of bamboo dragonflies fly into the sky, can I use bamboo dragonflies to make a flying machine?"
The young man hugged his chest excitedly and laughed: "Human hands have enough power, and steam engines also have powerful power. As long as these two are combined, we will definitely be able to create a machine that can fly into the sky."
Lin Fenghan, Ai Luoliu, Carlos, Loves and others also turned around and stared at this very excited person.?Youth. Lin Fenghan said happily: "Young man, what is your name?"
The young man suddenly raised his head at this moment, noticed his surroundings, and said nervously: "Lord Baron, my name is Comles. I come from a small village around Hailan City. Dean Ali brought me here last month."
"Well! Tell me about your dreams and interests, and briefly introduce yourself." Lin Fenghan continued to ask with interest.
Comles nodded nervously and said slowly: "Lord Baron, I was born into a fisherman's family. There is a hill more than ten meters high around our village. When we were very young, many of our children liked to jump into the water to bathe from here. I have been fascinated by diving since I was a child, and the feeling of leaving the ground. My dream is to fly like a seagull."
Comles' eyes became blurry at this time, and he spoke much faster unconsciously, and continued: "In order to realize my dream, I made a kite made of canvas like a bird, and I was busy improving and flying it all day long. Later, I realized that human weight is too heavy, so I made a large kite five meters wide and three meters long. Using this kite, I flew more than 300 meters from the cliff before falling into the ocean."
"Just last month, when I continued to improve my experiments, Dean Ali happened to see me driving a steam ship that was being tested. After a conversation, he attracted me to this place where I was studying mysterious new technologies."
"good!"
"good!"
"very good!"
Lin Fenghan clapped his hands quickly and said, "What I admire most are human beings like you who strive for your dreams. How are you being treated now and how much subsidy do you get every month?"
"Baron, Dean Ali gave me five silver coins every month. Unfortunately, I failed to live up to his expectations and did not come up with any good ideas in recent technological research and development." Comles lowered his head and pinched his sleeves in despair.
"Too little!"
Lin Fenghan patted Comles on the shoulder and said encouragingly: "People like you are the most precious in the world. I will give you a salary of 20 silver coins every month. You can work here with peace of mind!"
Lin Fenghan turned to Ai Luoliu and asked: "Is there a group in the Academy of Sciences that studies aerodynamics, flying machines, and gliding machines?"
"Not yet."
Ai Luoliu shook his head quickly.
"oh!"
Lin Fenghan turned around and looked at Comles, and said seriously: "From today on, we will build a new glider, flying machine, aerodynamics, and buoyancy research group. Comles will be the leader of this group for the time being. At the same time, you will also ask more questions." The outside world is looking for some talents who like to fly. The Elantra government will fully support the research supplies, materials, and equipment needed by this group. You will make asset research consumption bills every month and submit them to the old housekeeper of Motel for review. At the same time, these bills will be submitted. Keep a copy and give it to me. All research projects of your Academy of Sciences will ultimately be responsible to me alone."
"Grandpa Motel, you must try your best to support the materials, talents, and equipment needed for all the research of the Academy of Sciences. If you encounter any problems, you can come to me."
"Well! Don't worry!" Motel nodded with a smile.
Lin Fenghan turned around and looked at Comles seriously and said: "Comles, I am giving you a task now, which is to first develop kites, gliders, airplanes and other things that can fly. The current steam engine is too heavy and has no power. If the standard is met, the helicopter you want cannot be developed yet, but you can try to develop a glider that can fly longer and faster, as well as gain knowledge about air buoyancy."
"Baron! I am very grateful for your support. I can't express my gratitude in words now." Comles stood there excitedly, holding his heart and speechless.
Lin Fenghan smiled slightly and said to Ai Luoliu and others: "Next, you have to research transparent glass and make qualified telescopes. Make strong glass for windows. And improve paper and make white paper. .Improve quill pens, make pencils, and wood pens. Make mineral railways that can run coal and ore steam locomotives better. Here is a little note from my research, please take a look."
"yes!"
"yes!"
