Chapter 16 Rudolph Diesel

Chapter 16 Rudolph Diesel

On May 1st, Deng Sen secretly went to northern Anhui. In the mountains north of Lingbi in northern Anhui, huge factories appeared here in the mountain basin, and cement roads that did not even pave the way for Xuzhou had already passed through here.

Military industrial base, this is Dengsen's most core military industrial base. It is placed here to avoid blows. Moreover, all the Jiangsu and Anhui steel industry at this time are here.

This large arsenal covers an area of ​​more than a dozen mountain basins, divided into artillery, rifles, heavy machine guns, artillery shells, bullets production plants, and chariot production research centers.

"No, the steel here is not suitable for making engines at all, and the texture is too poor." In a three-story high machinery factory, German sentences came from a sentence, and the translation was translated one by one to convey to a staff member in military uniform.

Deng Sen slapped slightly at the door and thought to himself that he didn't know what was going on, and he heard this sound that Rudolf Diesel came from Germany.

"Standing at attention..." The staff in the workshop was just about to explain when they suddenly heard the sound of standing attentive outside the door and hurried over. Seeing Deng Sen coming, his face turned red, and he stood at attention and said, "Salute, welcome the head of state to come to inspect."

"Well, what did Rudolph's husband say just now?" Dunson nodded and asked to him.

"Report to the head of state, Rudolph's husband said that the steel we made could not meet the requirements of producing engines. During this period, Rudolph's husband led us to build a diesel engine, but it burst as soon as it started." It turned out that after Rudolph came to China, he did not meet Dengsen at all, but rushed directly to the factory. The factory satisfied him. The various facilities were complete, almost all German machinery, but the engines made him frustrated and disappointed.

The engine principles have been improved and the manufacturing steps have been proficient, but due to steel, they cannot withstand the huge high temperature at all, so they quickly break or explode after being manufactured.

"Rudolph's husband, then how should we deal with this matter? Our steelmaking technology is also the latest technology assisted by Germany. It is completely manufactured according to standard high-quality military steel. It has been successful in the manufacturing of seamless steel pipes. Why can't the engine be manufactured?" Dengson didn't know the principle of the engine. According to his idea, since mortar can be used, why can't the engine be used?

"Are you?" Rudolph looked at the young officer. Dunson was not wearing marshal's clothes today, so Rudolph did not think that he was the highest-ranking person here. He thought he was a person in charge.

So he said in English in a reproachful tone: "This officer's husband, a diesel engine is different from a general engine. He uses compressed air to press the air to the diesel fuel point as his design concept. Therefore, an engine made of steel must be able to withstand long-term high temperatures of more than 2,000 degrees Celsius. However, it is obvious that after testing, the local steel in China does not meet this standard and can only reach about 1,800 degrees. It will burst after running for about an hour."

"So that's the case, do you think the steel produced in the United States can be replaced? Of course, it's not that I don't want to buy German steel, but that there is no steel for sale to me in Germany now." Dengson now understood the problem and immediately prepared to purchase American steel.

"Husband is OK, but there are obviously still problems now, that is, there are too few skilled workers in the factory and not many machines. I think if you want to produce on a large scale, you must expand and train." As the name suggests, the engine is definitely used in cars and ships. This demand is very large, and many of them are military purposes, so expansion is necessary.

But Dengson is not very satisfied with the current diesel engine, so he said: "Mr. Rudoch husband, although I don't know much about technology, I am also back from studying in the West. Your diesel engine is a precedent, but there are still many shortcomings. I really need him and need him to be installed on cars and ships. But it is not enough now. The engine you give now can only reach a 14-horsepower boost. If it is used in transportation, it is still possible, but I want to use it on a tank weighing several tons or even dozens of tons, so the horsepower must be expanded. I will provide you with financial and material support, but I hope you can see a new high-power diesel generator within a year."

The general function of a diesel engine is to have a large power output on tanks, cruise boats or generators. Dunson has no idea that he can install it on large warships, but a small sea patrol gunboat or torpedo ship of about 1,000 tons can use this power device. Just imagine, a small defensive warship or attack warship equipped with diesel engines will attack around the battleship at a super fast speed. No matter how strong the opponent's strike ability is, it will not escape the bad luck. Dunson has no money to buy too many warships now, so he can only support the scene and cannot actively attack the Japanese navy. Therefore, he wants to develop a diesel engine with at least 15 horsepower in a very short time, and design it and install it on the torpedo ship gunboat. The famous wolf pack tactics in the future will be used to deal with Japan.

Of course, his tank legion plan is more important. He has the knowledge of later generations. He knows that later generations are the world of tank aircraft carriers. He now has advantages in this regard. All countries have not paid attention to tanks yet. They are just surprised at the combat role of trucks equipped with armor. However, when European powers fight in a large battlefield in World War I, they will know that those thin pickup trucks are not war defense cannons at all, and may not even be able to block the attack of rapid-fire cannons.

At this stage, he must form a large-scale and powerful armored army, showing an absolute advantage on land.

"God, how could I be able to increase horsepower so much for more than twenty years?" Dunson said in a shocking way, which surprised Rudolph of course he couldn't believe that there was a super engine that could increase such a large amount of power.

"How is it impossible? I have also read the data of your engine. Although it is magical, it has many defects, such as the configuration of the cylinder, the pressure of the air compressor, and the fuel size of the high-pressure pump. I think you should have more
