Now, with the support of Shen Mo, steam engines have become the main driving force for industrial production. Research on miniaturization, safety and energy saving of steam engines has never stopped.

Now in this science and technology center, marine steam engines have begun onshore experiments. After the operating life test, they will gradually board the ship and become the power of Shen Mo's warship.

Although the steam engine still looks stupid, big, black and thick, and jingling in Shen Mo's factory, the technological level of this reciprocating steam engine is far beyond the level of the steamship Franklin tested on the Hudson River.

After Shen Mo looked at the report written by his disciples, the steam engine development routes planned, as well as the ideas and drawings, he shook his head with emotion.

In fact, they have gone a long way in the matter of steam power.

These students had great hope for the huge giant of steam engines. But Shen Mo himself knew that in later generations, in addition to being used as factories and marine energy, the biggest function of this thing was to start the locomotive.

In fact, if you want to develop a steam-powered tank or a steam engine car, it is just a joke, and history has proven that this is not feasible.

However, urban construction equipment such as steam powered road rollers can be considered.

Shen Mo summarized these drawings together and asked the steam power developers to hold a meeting with him in the future to study the development route issues together.

He did not deny the idea of ​​steam-powered cars and steam-powered airships in one go.

Because for scientific researchers, this will not only rely on Shen Mo's decisions, but will also greatly dispel their enthusiasm and destroy their creativity. So Shen Mo decided to explain to them patiently.

After that, Shen Mo saw the plan and progress of the next step in power equipment development.

Today, electricity has become a major bottleneck that restricts industrial development and weapons development.

First of all, there is no welding without electricity, which is a technical barrier that Shen Mo absolutely cannot avoid.

When Shen Mo listened to the report of the R&D personnel and saw the actual objects and drawings, he was secretly surprised by the progress of power development.

Under the ideas and ideas provided by Shen Mo, R&D personnel worked day and night, and the development of excitation motors is now progressing very smoothly.

Now the samples of the first generation excitation motor have been successfully trial-produced, but there are still some problems that have not been solved in industrial production.

Shen Mo himself did not expect that the biggest factor restricting motor production was a small detail he had never expected - a thin layer of insulation on the copper wires wrapped around the motor!

This thing is the insulating paint on the enameled wire. It cannot be made without sufficient chemical industry foundation. The "resin" used for the production of this insulating paint is a petrochemical product!

Unexpectedly, just building an electric motor, you have to click the petrochemical technology tree to a very high position to make it! When Shen Mo thought of this, he was immediately worried that he would pull his hair straight!

In later generations, switches cost a few cents per store, and simple instruments that can be bought by any manufacturer. Even if they are just plastic, they have become insurmountable mountains in the Southern Song Dynasty!

Shen Mo had countless ideas in his mind, but he often struggled in the actual production process.

After Shen Mo turned over the motor article, the subsequent research on the battery pack made Shen Mo's eyes lit up!

After sulfuric acid can be produced in the factory, it is very easy to make lead-acid batteries. Although the insulation layer of the wire does not have plastic, Shen Mo can be replaced by rubber.

Therefore, there is only one shell problem left in the 12-volt lead-acid battery. After this problem was easily broken by Shen Mo's disciples, lead-acid batteries can now be produced in factory.

Although this kind of thing is not very useful in life, it is extremely widely used in the military field!

You should know that with this kind of battery, Shen Mo and the others no longer need to pull wires to detonate landmines and explosives. Moreover, this kind of battery can also be used in marine lighting and even alarm bells for alarms.

And with the battery, Shen Mo can be used to develop transmitters, or even wireless telegraphs!

When Shen Mo saw that this treasure was finally developed successfully, he was immediately excited!

After that, there is the progress of research on petrochemicals.

Now in Shen Mo's laboratory, crude oil purchased from distant Shaanxi is being tossed back and forth in the laboratory.

Now, in addition to the earliest gasoline and diesel, the civilian kerosene production process has also been solved - in fact, it is still used to use sealing distillation.

After this, the most important thing is that Shengong Camp has been able to separate industrial lubricating oil from oil, which is a great progress!

You should know that all the lubrication of Shen Mo and his team's current industrial products, including the maintenance of weapons and guns, are also used for processing and refining products.

These greases are prone to deterioration, deterioration and air-drying, and are completely incomparable to real industrial lubricants.

However, now, after breaking through this technical barrier, this technology can quickly become productivity and be applied to Shenmo factory, all machine tools and equipment, greatly improving production efficiency!

This is so good news!

When Shen Mo was excited, he gave instructions to the children of Shengong Camp for the next step of work, and then he walked out of the Science and Technology R&D Center.

...

Beside him, the squad leader Mu Tianxuan, the first phase of the Shengong Camp, explained their next work ideas and progress to Shen Mo like a little adult.

Under the leadership of Mu Tianxuan, Shen Mo came all the way to the Yangtze River on Chongming Island.

In the river, he saw Shi Baoying standing on a small boat with a smile.

As soon as Shen Mo saw the structure of the ship, he immediately rolled his eyes at Shi Baoying.

There is no doubt that this is the latest technology that Shi Baoying, the navy general, once again couldn't wait to get from the Shengong Camp!

I saw that this ship was a small boat of fifty materials, less than ten meters long, and it was carefully crafted with fir trees. The exquisite wood grain showed a new cluster of brilliance.

The entire ship is extremely sharp and has a streamlined shape like a pike. You can tell at a glance that this is a ship made to test the ultimate speed of the ship.

On the side of the ship, the word "breaking wave" is painted, obviously this is the name of the ship.

The most conspicuous thing on this ship is that she has no sails at all, but a thick chimney is erected!
