Chapter 441: The Appearance of Cars

The diesel engine was designed in the all-in-one machine, but if it was taken out, it would be a bit difficult. Yang Yuanzhao completed the design of the gasoline engine in a row. Compared with the diesel engine, the gasoline engine was easier and it was also his strongest aspect. After a few days, he decided on some designs and minimized his dependence on the all-in-one machine. Even if the all-in-one machine must be used, steel will be used instead of directly producing finished products. There are already quite a lot of personnel in the research institute. As long as Yang Yuanzhao gives the direction, the people below can start manufacturing, and by the way, the production lines of trucks and cars will be given. In the future, the land that continues to expand in the northwest will have a very large demand for motor vehicles.

After putting down the motor vehicle, Yang Yuanzhao himself was considering the matter about aviation engines. Yang Yuanzhao is not just a weapon theory, but in this era, one step ahead of others is the difference between heaven and earth. Baotou's new army is probably stronger than the Beiyang army in training, but real swords and guns may not be comparable to the Beiyang army. The reason is that the Beiyang army has seen blood and battles. Such troops really hit head-on. If Baotou does not have a large number of 75 guns and more than 108 guns, the defeat may be the New Army.

When dealing with the Beiyang Army, you may be able to bully your opponents with the range and caliber of cannons, but when dealing with foreign powers, the Northwest has excellent geographical advantages and is not worried that the great powers will come to kill them. But in the future, the Northwest will not leave forever. Once it expands to the coastline, it will be the huge navy and army troops of the great powers. Relying on cannons alone cannot completely solve the problem.

Aircraft is something that must be developed. During World War I, the aircraft was just a tool for reconnaissance. Although air combat occurred, it was not very intense. During World War II, the air force occupied a huge part of the military's strength, and air superiority began to truly affect the situation.

Compared with the two engines above, Yang Yuanzhao is quite familiar with it, and can even be made with the help of an all-in-one engine. However, the aircraft engine is the weakest, and even the least known, and even the one who knows about aviation kerosene. He doesn’t know much about it.

To a certain extent, he knew that the ignition point is low and the power is good. The kerosene engine basically adhered to this point. Perhaps part of the research on cracked oil can be found out if it is not, which requires chemists' research.

As for aviation engines, Yang Yuanzhao has heard of some of them. To a certain extent, they are all star engines, all of which are odd cylinder blocks. Yang Yuanzhao thought about it for a long time and put it aside for the time being. This is at least 30 years later, the technology of World War II. It is a bit too far from the current technology. Most of the early aircraft were used in automobile engines. The aircraft invented by Watt brothers directly used were automobile engines. The current aircraft are still a distance away from real aircraft.

This can be studied as a project. With the help of BMW Motorrad's engine, to a certain extent, the power of a star engine with a total of 7 cylinders can be reproduced, and at least it can be guaranteed to be above 600 horsepower. In this era when the aircraft is still a desert, such an engine can generate considerable energy, and its power is absolutely unimaginable.

Of course, Yang Yuanzhao can even make ultralight aluminum alloys that can be used through an all-in-one machine, and use aluminum alloys to modify existing engines and even BMW 999 engines. Such engines are much more powerful in thrust-to-weight ratios than the original engines of this era, and their flight speed and bomb load are much stronger, and they may have initial combat capabilities.

In three aspects, preliminary research was completed and the design was straightened out. To achieve substantial, even industrial production, a lot of research was needed. Yang Yuanzhao came to the newly established Power Laboratory, and the experiment tasks have been assigned. There are 37 engineers in the current laboratory, 35 of which were recruited from Europe and the United States. Yang Yuanzhao was also helpless about this. China only has sporadic personnel in terms of engineers and researchers. This is caused by more than 300 years of history. Although he invested heavily and studied abroad, it took time to come.

Knowledge represents strength. Yang Yuanzhao is very clear about how fast the future development of science and technology will be. Without a huge base, all kinds of cutting-edge talents can be born without a huge base, promoting the rapid and stable development of the entire technology.

Yang Yuanzhao attaches great importance to the cultivation of reserve forces. Every researcher is surrounded by a large number of assistants and apprentices. For these foreign researchers, they are not as hiding as before. Hiding cannot solve the problem. The first thing to let go is the strongest engine field in Baotou. The current technology of the institute is not particularly advanced. Putting aside the leading material, other design aspects can only double the current engine technology. Although the proportion is considerable, it is still a bit worse than the layout of Baotou's new materials and later generations. Baotou still has an absolute advantage.

There are 37 engineers and 6 times apprentices. Among them, they are technical students who have grown up after 2-3 years of training in the Northwest Engineering School, or some smart and knowledgeable technical workers, and even 12 students who have returned from studying abroad to study engineering. These are the future, and the wings of the entire China's power are not useful for the time being, and they can only fight under the orders of foreign engineers.

"Mr. Yang, the prototype of the first engine has been produced. Now, it is being tested. Come and take a look!" A blond-haired European said loudly.

He is the head of the gasoline engine team, and his engine is also the most mature. Yang Yuanzhao told him almost the materials, the things used in every place, and even the simple craftsmanship. He just made the first gasoline engine in just 3 days.

In a corner of the power laboratory, an ugly-looking engine, and it was water-cooled, was roaring, gasoline exploded in the engine, and the pusher engine kept turning. Looking at the counter, Yang Yuanzhao asked loudly: "How much horsepower is there."

"The extreme horsepower exceeds 105 horsepower, and now it is basically stable at around 97.

97, a little worse than the design, but it has basically completed the design requirements. In a sense, this is the first industrial product born in China that exceeds the world's first-class level. More or less, with the help of Yang Yuanzhao, many higher-end materials were used, but it is already considered good to be able to do so.

“How long has it been running?”

Big Nose said happily: "It has been running for 36 hours!"

36 hours, and full-load, full-power pressure-resistant training, this is a very high data from Europe and the United States. It is normal for a primary engine to have problems. In the past, many drivers were also reasonable repairmen. They could immediately eliminate problems when there was a problem with the car, repair the car, and run for 36 hours in a row. It is already good for the car engine. The most important thing is that the engine has strong horsepower and the big nose has reason to believe that if you install this powerful engine on the car, the car's speed will fly.

The key is that today's cars may not look much better than carriages. They are basically made of wooden engines, and less than 10 horsepower can drive as much as they can. In this case, the engine close to 80 horsepower has already had the prototype of a modern engine to a certain extent. With its appearance, it will inevitably produce a better car.

Finally, after nearly 20 days of continuous operation, the engine finally had a minor fault. Such continuous operation time exceeded 480 hours. Compared with later generations, there were still great shortcomings in the reliability of the engine. It was enough for the early 20th century. Basically, it took one or two months to have problems during interrupted transportation. At most, the driver was trained and modify common problems. If you really have a big problem, just replace the engine directly. This is normal in the early stages of the car.

The engine, which looked very simple and even somewhat ugly, became the second product of the Third Machine Factory. With the joint efforts of Yang Yuanzhao and engineers, after the engine was finalized, the final horsepower was determined to be 105 horsepower. The power laboratory began to fine-tune and improve the engine based on this engine. The engine named Dongfang One became a very long series. In the following years, a total of more than a dozen improved models were born, and the final horsepower had reached 185 horsepower, which was a number a long time later.

This horsepower is almost close to the BMW engine. In any case, the BMW engine is just a motorcycle engine. A big fix for the motorcycle engine is that it is impossible to make a large amount. Each cylinder is very small and the total displacement is only 999 milliliters. Compared with the 2000cc or even 3000cc engines, the difference is very huge. The goal of the current power laboratory is to gradually expand, and with the help of advanced concepts, there are steel materials that are closer to this era to make larger and stronger engines.

The development and finalization of the gasoline engine was soon placed in industrial production. Gasoline engines were installed on different cars. Motor vehicles appeared in Baotou for the first time. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
