Douluo’s Endless Fusion

Chapter 315 Steam Engine

Imperial Manufacturing. This is a new department formed by the fusion of the Forging Bureau and the Shipbuilding Bureau. Now the main work is to research new warships.

With his excellent leadership skills, Su Gu deserves to be in the top position.

Now, he is waiting quietly in front of the wide gate, because he heard that His Royal Highness the Prince is coming.

Soon, he saw someone approaching from a distance, and he looked happy, "His Royal Highness!"

Luo Chuan took Shen Jinming and others to the front door unhurriedly, and said, "How about the combination of boats, hidden weapons, and firearms?"

"Cough, Your Highness, it's only been a few days, and we only have some preliminary ideas."

Su Gu smiled awkwardly, he didn't expect Luo Chuan to attach so much importance to this matter.

Why does the empire build ships? Isn't it good on land, why go to the sea?

"Give me a copy of your ideas in the form of drawings, and call the major engineers. I will be responsible for this matter myself."

Luo Chuan didn't blame it. It was very simple. The manufacturing department was only established. He didn't expect these people to make a name for themselves.

"Yes, Your Highness, please come this way, this is our new headquarters."

Su Gu hurriedly gestured to the assistant on the side, and at the same time led Luo Chuan to a bright hall.

There are many desks and bookshelves here, and there are various drawings on the desks. Luo Chuan picked up one at random and looked at the contents in front.

"I still have ideas. Luo Chuan nodded slightly, "However, the thinking is still too rigid, still thinking about using a wooden boat, how can this kind of boat face the attack of the soul beast? "

"This... His Royal Highness, I don't need wood, can I use steel?"

Su Gu said with a bitter face.

"Yes, just use iron."

"But iron rusts easily in seawater, and it weighs a lot. Even with a big sail, the speed is not as fast as a wooden boat."

Su Gu expressed his opinion.

"Find a way to keep the iron from rusting and add power to the boat."

Luo Chuan said lightly, "I'm here to help you this time, let's not talk about this, how did you make a two-wheeler last time?"

"According to His Royal Highness's wishes, it is basically completed, do you want to see it?"

"nature."

Luo Chuan nodded, the two-wheeled vehicle he was talking about was a bicycle, which was something he brought to the public.

This thing is relatively simple, so when I used to make firearms, I let the craftsman do it according to his requirements.

Chains, gears and skeletons are relatively simple, but the key is that rubber is too special.

He's not good at material science, so he can't make rubber here, so he can only let the people below him figure out a way.

In anticipation, Su Gu asked people to launch a bicycle with real tires.

Luo Chuan's eyes lit up and walked over to touch the tire. "What material is this made of, it seems to be very light and has good toughness." "

Su Gu smiled and said, "These two-wheeled vehicles are very labor-saving. We have already made a carriage and a tricycle with the same wheels. The tricycle can also be ridden by one person, making it much easier to transport materials."

Luo Chuan rode it for a while, and it was not much different from the car in his previous life, and said with satisfaction, "Yes, let's get a place specializing in the production of two-wheeled vehicles and three-wheeled vehicles and sell them to ordinary people. I will rely on the money from them to sell them and use the power of the empire to produce new ones. thing."

"His Royal Highness's method is good. It doesn't have to impose taxes, and it is also convenient for the people. But what if someone steals the lessons? This thing is not too complicated."

"Stealing learning is a matter of time. If someone really figured it out on their own, that's also a talent. You arrange for someone to support them in making this thing, but we'll take a cut."

Luo Chuan didn't care at all. For him, this thing was just for fun, shipbuilding was the business, and he needed more talents.

Otherwise, even if he understands the basic principles of steam engines, internal combustion engines, electricity, etc., he will not be able to figure it out.

The latter things are the key to his ability to conduct naval battles, and are also the basis for crossing the sea and attacking the Sun and Moon Continent in the future.

"Yes, His Royal Highness." Su Gu showed admiration, this is the royal style.

"Stop talking about this, let's get down to business now. Have you found any special materials that you asked you to investigate before on the mainland?"

"Yes, the special metal requested by His Highness has been found more than ten times, and the flammable black stone and black liquid have also been found in the north."

Sugu nodded.

"Bring it to me quickly."

Luo Chuan stood up abruptly. Compared with the blandness of the two-wheeled vehicle, he was quite excited this time.

The combustible black stone is the raw material of the steam engine, while the black liquid is the oil, and the separated gasoline and diesel oil is the raw material of the internal combustion engine.

He can't handle the latter for the time being. After all, it involves too many years, but the coal can be used immediately.

Su Gu acted again, and soon someone brought several boxes over. Luo Chuan opened it to observe, and it turned out to be coal and oil.

"I didn't think so."

Luo Chuan murmured in his heart, pinching the coal and said, "How did you guys turn the gears with steam before?"

"this……"

Su Gu smiled bitterly, "It hasn't succeeded yet."

"Hmph, I already gave you the drawings, but still can't get them out?"

Luo Chuan was not slow to show it for the first time. The steam engine is much simpler than the internal combustion engine. He figured out the general structure. If these guys can't do it, he will naturally have opinions.

"I'm sorry, it's my subordinate's fault."

Su Gu broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly apologized.

"This is the power I am going to use to propel the steel boat. Its gears are connected with special paddles, which can replace the human power to propel the boat. Do you understand what I am going to do now?"

Luo Chuan said coldly.

Above the boundless sea, if he did not develop the lowest-level steam engine, it would be difficult for him to send an army to conquer the Sun and Moon Continent, and he would not be able to obtain the soul tool technology there.

So, the steam engine had to come out.

"clear."

Su Gu didn't dare to say anything more at this moment.

"Steel rust prevention and steam engines, I will do my best to do it immediately. I will take charge of it myself. Within three years, I will need a new type of ship that can sail on the sea by itself, with a length of more than 100 meters, and has artillery and hidden weapons. warship."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Bring me all the materials, I want to see your research."

Luo Chuan wanted to see what the problem was, so many people didn't figure it out.

He estimated that he would have to stay here for half a month before he could go to Sea God Fall.

If he didn't get the key things out, even if he went to the Sea God Dao to practice for a few years, he wouldn't be able to get a new type of warship.

One day, Luo Chuan browsed all relevant materials and feedback from craftsmen, and roughly figured out the problem.

There is a problem with the material of the machine, and there is a defect in the internal structure.

He can only do it himself, to get this thing that he only knew the basic principles in his previous life, but he had never seen it before, and at the same time, he also tried to solve the problem of rust prevention of warships.
