"Master, the internal combustion engine is here."

At the Research and Development Institute, Li Ke led Liu Jun to a laboratory.

This is their latest research result.

After the experiment was successful, Li Ke sent someone to notify him.

After entering the house, Liu Jun saw a silver metal component.

This is exactly the original piston internal combustion engine.

In this short period of time, during the foreign war, the scientific development of Ning Chao did not fall at all.

According to his plan, Li Ke has been studying internal combustion engines, while Luo Xuan, who is in charge of the chemical industry, has been preparing for petrochemicals.

At the same time, he also sent a prospecting team to find oil.

Oil was called tinea oil in ancient times and was often used to defend cities.

So it's not that clueless.

During this period, oil has been successfully found in Ningchao.

The next step is mining.

At present, Ning Dynasty is in the early stages of the Second Industrial Revolution.

So it is not a problem to manufacture oil extraction equipment.

The most important thing for Luo Xuan is to establish a petrochemical industry.

"Yeah, it's quite good." Liu Jun was very satisfied.

With the popularization of Ningchao's scientific education.

More and more talents are being cultivated.

Now he is gradually no longer involved in various research and development work.

Instead, only drawings and guidance are provided.

Let them mess with the rest themselves.

After letting go, Ning Chao's technological development was not as slow as he was worried.

On the contrary, in the back garden of technology, the vegetation grows more lush.

Various achievements continue to emerge.

Steel, textile, chemical industry, printing and dyeing, smelting, and machinery have all made great progress.

The transformation from the first industrial revolution to the second industrial revolution was completed in a short period of time.

The entire industrial system has entered the 20th century in full swing.

And it's not just in Jingyang City.

Traces of industrialization can be seen on the vast territory of Ningchao.

Various industrial products can be seen everywhere in the country.

He believes that after occupying the huge market in Japan, domestic industries will surely usher in another surge.

Because no commodity can shake Ning Chao's status.

"Practice the internal combustion engine as soon as possible." Liu Jun instructed.

Nowadays, the biggest constraint is the transportation issue.

The automobile that accompanied the emergence of internal combustion engines is the root cause of this problem.

Secondly, with internal combustion engines, aircraft and tanks can be manufactured.

This will really make the Ning Dynasty's military chasm that is irresistible for the Xizhou people.

"The Xiaguan has discussed with Chief Gong, and he is busy with this matter." Li Ke said.

Liu Jun nodded.

The efficiency of the R&D institute is now very good.

Because Liu Jun had already ordered Gong Ming.

There is no need to ask for instructions in everything, just follow the plan he gave and a few people can discuss it.

After leaving the research and development institute, Liu Jun returned to the palace.

The next day, he took the train to Jing'an Mansion.

Although the two-step strategy has been determined.

But he had no intention of implementing it immediately.

After all, it is not so easy to deal with a country in Ningchao against a Western continent.

In order to make the process smoother, he felt it was necessary to wait for a while.

Let the army equip better weapons.

This time Liu Jun came to Jing'an Mansion not only to inspect the shipbuilding.

At the same time, it was also in order to inspect the Jing'an Mansion military factory.

After the expansion of the army, Xinghua Garden's production capacity was obviously unable to keep up.

Therefore, he ordered the establishment of military merit factories in other important places at the same time.

Jing'an Prefecture is one of them, and in addition, there is one in the west and south.

They provide support to the army in four directions.

"Your Majesty, please come here." The head of the factory led Liu Jun into the factory.

After the power was put into use, all current military factories used electricity.

Therefore, the motivation has been greatly improved.

All equipment in the factory is driven by motors.

High efficiency and very stable.

Coupled with the lathes that transcend the times, the factory has the ability to manufacture contemporary World War I-level guns.

"Your Majesty, this is the semi-automatic rifle we are making." The head of the factory introduced Liu Jun to the current production situation of the factory.

Liu Jun walked, looking at the various weapons placed on the platform.

In addition to automatic rifles, the factory currently has other new weapons, such as grenades, light machine guns and submachine guns.

At the end of contemporary World War I, Germany had weapons such as m18 submachine guns and light machine guns.

With contemporary experience, he naturally has to use his prophet's advantages to get these things out in advance.

I picked up my own submachine gun and looked around.

Liu Jun smiled satisfied.

With these new weapons, the process of Ning Chao's war will be easier.

He went to the schoolyard to watch the shooting test of new weapons again, and Liu Jun left the military factory.

I went to the shipyard with everyone.

Compared to guns, what he values ​​most now is the navy.

Because this is a powerful tool to cut off the tentacles of Western countries.

Now all Western countries have steam warships.

The Ningchao Navy, which mainly uses old-fashioned wooden warships, has no advantage when facing the Xizhou Navy.

After all, there are many countries in the West and can build huge warships driven by steam engines in a short time.

Therefore, if you want to dominate the ocean, you still need ironclad ships.

After all, the current ironclad ships of Ning Dynasty have basically reached the level of World War I.

There is a gap of about fifty years.

"Long live your Majesty."

Arriving at Jing'an Shipyard, Mo Wu led the factory technicians to greet him.

After saluting, he took Liu Jun directly to the dock.

"Master, we have delivered twenty-four ironclad ships some time ago. Currently, there are twelve ships in the dock that will be launched soon, and there are twenty-four ships under construction." Mo Wu said, pointing to the latest battleship being built in the dock.

Liu Jun nodded, "How is the situation in other shipyards?"

Although Ning Chao currently has four shipyards, there are regular exchanges between shipyards.

After all, Mo Wu's skills are the most superb in shipbuilding.

That's why he asked this.

"Overall, they are a little behind Jing'an, but not too much. It is estimated that they will be able to launch a total of 36 warships next month." Mo Wu said.

Liu Jun calculated that according to Mo Wu's statement, the scale of Ning Chao Navy's ironclad ships will reach 84 next month.

In a year, this number can double.

However, his goal is to build a naval force that controls the world.

The number of ships in this way will be at least about 400, and it will take two years to complete.

But time always waits for no one.

He will not give Xizhou a stable time to develop.

After all the eighty-four warships are in place.

He will launch an attack on the Xizhou fleet in the South.

Before this, Ning Dynasty mainly faced wars on land.
Chapter completed!
