Chapter 235 Emperor?
Needless to say, this car is of course what was mentioned in the abstract masterpiece of Li Mengyang, but what kind of car is this?
To be honest, Li Mengyang really wants to call this thing for a car because it is indeed gasoline burning, it is really gasoline!
You know, after getting the heavy oil boiler out, Mr. Thomson began to study this small car. This heavy oil boiler can be brought into the boat, but what should I do with that small car?
There were steamers in this era, which means that the steam engine can be small, but in terms of power output... Everyone knows that if our heavy oil boiler is small, it will naturally copy the steam engine, but it will not be enough.
You really don’t know that after burning gasoline, this is really stronger than a steam engine. Anyway, a small internal combustion engine is better than a small steam engine!
In fact, if you change the fuel, most of the others are similar. Of course, the oil cannot be burned all at once, so there is also a nozzle.
Li Mengyang was not sure. This nozzle seemed to be a spark plug? Anyway, that's the case. Who said he was a liberal arts student?
But why is this thing so reluctant to call it a car?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the feelings of the emperor Li Mengyang now. Can this be called a car?
Listen to the sound, thud and thud, thud and thud, the engine is shocking!
Li Mengyang dared to swear to the sky that he must be the first guy in the world today, but this car is nothing but a hand-held tractor!
At the beginning, the car that Li Mengyang drew was still OK, at least it had a cover or something, like a car, but now the one I made was completely four wheels carrying a small boiler, and the four wheels were rubber, but they were solid, bumpy, and shocking.
Absolutely, this is the most primitive car shock!
Forget it, Li Mengyang changed from Emperor to "Handle Rasky". After he tried it, he did not let his three concubines take the car together. His original plan was that His Majesty's family would all appear in this car.
It's very simple, this is a big advertisement!
In itself, the presentation is just a press conference, and the emperor takes action, which will definitely enhance the advertising effect. To put it bluntly, our Emperor is going to promote this new thing.
Just this car. No matter what it is called, you can buy it anyway. This thing is good. The emperor said it is good after using it.
Why do you have to be so tidy?
Li Mengyang must do this, he has no other way!
You know, this internal combustion engine and car, well, is a hand-held tractor. This is a new thing, but when the new thing was first born, it could not beat the old thing, that is, the steam engine!
Just like the problem encountered by electric lights, the steam engine is now very mature. Maturity means low cost, which means this thing is good. We are cheap, so why do we have to use that internal combustion engine? Why don’t we take a carriage and that hand-held tractor?
That carriage runs faster than your hand tractor!
I have to say that this is true. The current situation is like this. New technologies are not as good as old technologies. If they develop normally, then decades later, the technology of internal combustion engines will develop faster and have stronger capabilities, and then everyone will start to use them.
But can Li Mengyang wait for decades? Is he not anxious?
The so-called technological innovation is actually promoting the development of the entire era!
Since Li Mengyang knows the booming development scenario of internal combustion engines and the future oil era, and the benefits of mechanization and industrialized society, how could he not promote the internal combustion engine and gasoline engine and bring his country into the machinery industry society as soon as possible?
But how to do it?
Can you easily achieve it by being the emperor?
That is absolutely impossible!
The actual conditions determine that this will never succeed. Li Mengyang is not a three-year-old child anymore. He cannot be so naive. Moreover, Li Mengyang, now, after he comes into contact with these machinery, science and technology things, he can even be sure of it.
Even if he is a science student and has advanced technical knowledge, he still cannot bring a certain country or all mankind into a certain era in advance!
Simply put, if science students or even scientists travel through time, there is nothing to do.
Why so sure?
Li Mengyang is mature. He is already a mature politician. He has already governed a country with a population of hundreds of thousands. He knows very well how difficult it is to change people's lives. To change people's lives, that is, to accelerate the progress of the times, this is not the life of scientists in itself!
It should be said that Li Mengyang was also naive. He had previously thought that he had a scientist like Thomson, the most awesome contemporary scientist, so he had everything. He could have whatever he wanted, but what is the reality?
Many technologies actually exist, at least in theory, have been solved. Scientists, aren’t real scientists just playing with theory?
It should be said that Mr. Thomson is quite weird. Not only is he very theoretical, but he also has strong hands-on and practical skills. If this is not the case, then the New Tang Empire may not be able to win those wars until now, because they will not be better than others in science and technology.
After experiencing so many things, Li Mengyang came to the conclusion that if he wanted to change the human lifestyle, he would change greatly and improve the things that were greatly improved, such as electric lights, such as the internal combustion engine that he was going to build now, that is, if he wanted to apply scientific results to real life, then it would depend on businessmen!
To put it more deeply, that is, it depends on the market!
Yes, it’s this conclusion, and don’t underestimate this conclusion, it’s not easy.
Why not a scientist?
Because of these scientific things that Li Mengyang encountered, scientists have developed the theory of electric lights early in the morning and lit them early in the morning. But why did electric lights last decades in history before meeting the vast majority of people?
Because scientists think that if I get this theory done, I will complete my work. As for everything else, it has nothing to do with me.
Yes, at this time, the merchant needs to come out!
Only businessmen will promote new things. And only they have the motivation, because they want to make money. On the one hand, scientists have no money, and on the other hand, they cannot see this place to make money. Businessmen are different. In addition, this requires business wars. You must know that there were old things before, such as electric lights. Then there were gas lamps before!
When Li Mengyang promoted electric lights in the American Empire, the original gas lamp company often ran to him, the emperor, to cry...
How did Li Mengyang feel at that time?
Fortunately, he is an emperor, otherwise what would these businessmen have to use?
Therefore, if scientists cannot do this, they cannot do it if they want to promote something new. This depends on merchants. After all, it depends on the market.
Let’s talk about the previous promotion of the electric light, which is not easy. The generator was created and it is also a boiler, but can that generator still be used?
Just that movement, that vibration... Let's put it this way. If this thing is built near a residential area, everyone will be shocked every day, either huangxiao or shaking the carriage. If the carriage is not done well, there will be a "horse shock"!
What should I do?
Fortunately, Li Mengyang knew very well. Because everyone in later generations knew that electricity was AC. Although he didn't know the difference between AC and DC, he was the emperor, of course he had to promote AC.
Li Mengyang only learned about the difference between AC and DC power later. In fact, it is a matter of the high and low transmission voltage. AC power can easily create high voltages, while DC power voltage is low.
You should know that at this time, there are basic theories for alternating current and direct current. Although Li Mengyang knows that Tesla, scientists today, such as Thomson, also understand these things.
Since the emperor wants AC power, just AC power.
It turns out that AC power can be transmitted from a long distance!
This is good, why is it good?
You can build dams in the distance to create hydropower, so that you can generate electricity.
And the most important thing is that this is a list of commercial activities in itself!
Is this a project to build a dam, so what is the benefit of the project?
If you build a generator, will this order be small?
Then, you have to build a telephone pole for power transmission, and then wood and cables. How much benefits does it have? How many industries can it drive?
So, it was soon promoted, and many people joined in, and many people had jobs. So the electric lights were also promoted quickly. Even the factories that produce electric lights were not the most profitable in this link!
In other words, after experiencing the promotion of this electric lamp, Li Mengyang understood that using market means is the real way to promote a new thing. The achievements of science and technology require market means to benefit the public, otherwise, it will not be possible.
On the other hand, Mr. Qiao, who was later generations, was really not an inventor. Then look at that guy Edison... Li Mengyang really despised this guy at this time. Edison was not an inventor at all!
During this process, Li Mengyang also saw that the current lifespan of light bulbs has exceeded thousands of hours, and many other new light bulbs with higher brightness have appeared, such as adding salt to it, and he didn't understand it anymore.
But why is this?
It’s very simple, because there is a market, everyone comes to buy it, so in order to make money, we will naturally carry out technological transformation!
Yes, it even led to power generation equipment, cables, wood... Anyway, it was all kinds of industries, and technology was moving forward.
So now, Li Mengyang has transformed from an emperor into a "hand-held drag lasky". His press conference, this super big advertisement, isn't this driving the rapid progress of the times?
In other words, Li Mengyang is now trying to popularize this thing through the market, and the general public will participate. This will in turn force the technological progress of the internal combustion engine!
Only in this way can we accelerate and let the era of oil industry arrive early!
In this way, the American New Tang Empire can lead the world in technology!
Li Mengyang's abacus is very good, but it's not...
Tutou...Dangdang...The engine of the hand-held tractor is emitting black smoke! (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
