Hu Yunhong was also honest. He didn't hear the unfinished meaning of Li Zisheng's words, so he started talking around him.

The total weight of this Five Elements Warrior is about 100,000 kilograms, with ten people, one officer and one deputy, two drivers, five gunners, and three "mechanics". The so-called mechanics are actually workers who add coal, because this tank uses steam power, and someone must keep adding coal. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to use firewood.

As long as water and wood can be found, the Five Elements Warrior will not fall into the trap because of fuel. However, its speed is so slow that it is outrageous, with a maximum speed of only 20 or 30 miles per hour, and it has high requirements for roads. This is also because of its large weight, even if it uses wide tracks, it is easy to sink into the mud, let alone climbing hills and crossing the river through the swamps.

Although it is inconvenient to move, the power of this Five Elements Warrior cannot be underestimated. The five turrets each have their own uses. In addition to firing Five Elements Talismanship shells, the Fire can be used as a flamethrower, the Water can be used as a high-pressure water gun, the Gold can fire crossbow arrows, and the Earth can blow strong winds out of the barrel. The Wood can be used as the most special. After the seeds shot from it land, they grow into tough vines and shrubs on their own.

These functions are built into the turret, and can be activated as long as the energy provided by Yuanshi is provided. It turns out that the inner walls of those turrets are set up to set up talisman arrays when casting, and the gunners in each turret can be activated.

"This thing must be very expensive, right?"

Yan Baoer and Tie Qianzun finally completed the quarrel that they had to do at least once a day. They also got off the boat and came to the next to the Five Elements Chariot. Yan Baoer looked at it curiously and asked naturally.

Hu Yunhong scratched his hair and said honestly: "It's about two hundred square stones."

Tie Qianzun next to him immediately frowned and said, "What's the use of such a big pile of iron lump? It's more than to spend so many stones? Why not build a few more cannons?"

"Sister Qianzun, this hundred square stone is not expensive at all." Li Zisheng snatched the topic and answered the question for Hu Yunhong, "Is this an experimental product? Of course it is more expensive. Moreover, all things on it can be recycled, and at most they can be refined."

Mr. Li San has never been a believer in the multi-turret God Cult, and he actually has no good impression of this big and unreasonable design. However, the enthusiasm of researchers like Hu Yunhong cannot be suppressed. On the contrary, he should be appropriately encouraged, and of course he should not be too encouraged. Who knows what he will do in the future?

The speed of this multi-turret divine sacred object is too slow and it is very bumpy. I can only add a few trailers as a means of transportation to transport the food on the steamer. Yan Baoer and Tie Qianzun both left the team. The former went to Yixue, while the latter went to the Tie Family shop to inspect.

In the end, Li Zisheng only brought a few team members and headed towards the Xinjintang R&D branch in an erect manner. People kept bowing to him along the way. Li Zisheng also politely returned the gifts to the other party one by one.

In the Heavenly Artifact Sect, he is now a celebrity, and is still a celebrity loved by low-level disciples. Even if some people disagree with him or even jealous and resentful, they still have to do the Kung Fu on the surface. Regardless of whether he knows him or not, the Heavenly Artifact disciples here always come forward to greet him after seeing him.

In addition, the merchants here also know that the young master Li from Xinyishuntang has mastered Tianyitang's settlement and lending business, so how can such a person not please him?

There are also workers and craftsmen in Yuan'an City who have received his favor. This San Master Li not only let their children go to Yixue School, but also had a free lunch every day. In particular, he also sold a pill called Qingfei Cough Pill at a very low price.

This pill is miraculously effective for black lung disease. As long as it is not a terminally ill patient, the condition can be controlled and at least it will not worsen.

In such a severely polluted place in Yuanping City, such pills can be regarded as life-saving things. And even the lowest-level craftsmen can afford it. How can this not make everyone feel grateful?

Li Zisheng's speed was naturally not fast, but he had no intention of being impatient at all. No matter what kind of person the other party was, he would stop and chat with others.

It took them almost half an hour to arrive at the research center more than ten miles away from the pier.

In fact, Li Zisheng came this time because he received the latest news. The project hosted by Hu Yunduo has made great progress, and this project is Yuanshi internal combustion engine.

Of course, the Yuanshi internal combustion engine's ideas were also inspired by Li Zisheng.

In Zhongzhou, Yuanshi is not only a currency, but also an important material. Mr. Li San discovered that the way to use Yuanshi is actually mainly used as a medium for preserving energy, which is actually a battery, allowing humans to use it to extract energy from it.

During a chat, Mr. Li talked about a problem with Brother Hu’s elder brother. What if the Yuanshi is used as fuel?

This problem immediately aroused Hu Yunduo's interest. The reason why their Hu family made their debut in refining weapons is that this family has more or less the spirit of a "scientist" and has a strong ability to do things. However, Hu Yunhong was influenced by Li Zisheng since he was a child, and his imagination was a bit too big, and he always liked to do things full of fantasy.

Hu Yunduo, who has a deeper foundation, will conduct solid scientific research based on actual conditions.

He couldn't help but suddenly realize what he said. Yes, if he directly uses the energy in the Yuan stone instead of using the talisman array, wouldn't it be more effective?

In fact, Li Zisheng had no choice but to put his ideas on Yuan Shi. If he really wanted to build a gasoline engine and a diesel engine, where did gasoline and diesel come from? Could it be that he would focus on chemical engineering first and exploit petroleum?

This is too difficult for this Liberator Legion warrior.

Internal combustion engines are a type of heat engine that can convert the chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy. The general implementation method is to mix and burn with air to generate heat, the gas expands under heat, and convert it into mechanical energy through mechanical devices to do work to the outside. In contrast, heat engines that do not act as working medium are called external combustion engines, such as the working medium of the steam engine, and steam is not fuel.

Internal combustion engines have much higher thermal efficiency than external combustion engines such as steam engines. Of course, steam engines will not be eliminated, because the fuel used by steam engines is very cheap coal or wood, which is more suitable for mortals, that is, poor people in Central China.

Hu Yunduo's research on internal combustion engines is due to his love for scientific research, and the reason why Li Zisheng was willing to spend resources was to allow mortals to use the power of Yuanshi.

If there is no true qi in the body, let alone practice, it is impossible to use magic arrays and magic tools. Under this situation, humans are naturally divided into two levels, mortals and cultivators.

Li Zisheng popularized Yixue to make more people a cultivator, but the effect would not change much in the short term. So he decided to do the opposite so that mortals could use the power of cultivators.

The first thing he thought of was machinery, including bicycles, sailboats and gun grenades, but some were not effective, such as bicycles became a toy, while sailboats were controlled by cultivators in the end, while others were beyond his expectations. Muskets did not overcome the force gap between ordinary people and cultivators, and even widened the strength gap between the two.

So this time he decided to start with power and energy, and directly make Yuanshi a fuel that can be used by mortals.

Of course, only Mr. Li knew this painstaking efforts. If the world was clamoring, he would have been regarded as a devil. A preparatory immortal master with a promising future was planning for mortals. This was not possessed by a demon, so why would it be considered possessed by a demon?

Well, from this perspective, a certain family of rich peasants, who was an intellectual, had been appointed as the Minister of Rites, but he had to be mixed with Mud Legs and finally became a predecessor of the Red Bandits. In later generations, he was jokingly called the "successor of the Demon" and this is not incomprehensible. (To be continued...)
