On the road, sitting in the four-wheeled carriage, Liu Jin also started thinking.
Based on the current technological level of Ming Dynasty, whether it is an electric motor or an internal combustion engine, it seems that it was too early to appear.
Historically, the steam engine was invented around 1700 and the technology became mature, while the development of the internal combustion engine went through three stages. In the 1670s, the Dutch first invented an internal combustion engine that used gunpowder as fuel, causing the gunpowder to burn and expand in the cylinder. , pushing the cylinder to do work.
There is no doubt that this is obviously too wasteful and has no practical significance.
It was not until 1801 that the French thought of using gaseous fuel, using coal gas and hydrogen obtained after the carbonization of coal as fuel. This was obviously not very practical.
It was not until 1859 that Belgian engineers developed a two-stroke horizontal internal combustion engine that used liquid fuel, and the internal combustion engine technology gradually became mature.
It was not until 1885, when German engineers developed the gasoline internal combustion engine, that the internal combustion engine technology truly matured and began to be put into large-scale operation. 强牺 yuewenyuan.com 读牺
As for the invention of the motor, it was also during this period, but it really matured in the early 20th century.
¡°It should be internal combustion engine technology.¡±
Liu Jin could make a rough guess after thinking about it for a while.
"Am I cheating too much? Ming's technology is developing too fast."
"The steam engine only took more than ten years, and the internal combustion engine was invented. The speed was too fast, and it has traveled a road that others took hundreds of years to travel."
"We can't afford to think that in more than ten years, all these lamps will be built, and it will really be like riding a rocket."
"Is it because I run a new type of education? Under the basic and systematic education and training, the technology and talents have continued to explode, so the current results are achieved?"
Liu Jin kept thinking in his mind.
Soon, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao arrived at the Beijing Mechanical College. Upon learning of the arrival of Liu Yuan and Zhu Houzhao, the dean of the college, Ren Siheng, also hurriedly brought many vice presidents and professors to greet them.
"Dean Ren, what kind of power machine has been invented just now?" At this time yuewenyuan.com Zhang Si
As soon as he arrived at the Mechanical College, Zhu Houzhao quickly asked. He was more curious than Liu Jin.
Zhu Houzhao himself was very obsessed with machinery. He participated in the research of trains and clocks. His obsession with various machinery can be said to be second only to the creation of humans.
"This time it was a student named Lu Qing from our college. He studied steam engines, specializing in the manufacture, research and improvement of steam engines. After studying steam engines, he had a sudden idea that this steam engine actually consumes a lot of energy and requires Boil the water first, and then use the steam to push the cylinder."
"He wondered why it couldn't be burned directly in the cylinder, and the expanded gas was used to push the cylinder to do work. In this way, there would be no intermediate losses, which could greatly improve efficiency and produce stronger power."
Ren Siheng took Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao to the laboratory and explained it to Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin in detail.
¡°Combust directly in the cylinder and use the expanding gas to push the cylinder.¡±
"Hey, what a genius idea, why didn't I think of it?"
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately patted his brain and couldn't help but be amazed by this unconstrained idea.
"After listening to Lu Qing's idea, the professors in our college felt that this idea was indeed a good idea, so they organized a team to study this technology."
"They really came up with some ideas. The machine they developed is indeed very powerful, much more powerful than a steam engine."
Ren Siheng also nodded. To be honest, he was surprised by this idea at first. Someone would actually think of burning directly in the cylinder and using the expanding gas to promote work.
Soon, under the leadership of Ren Siheng, everyone arrived at a laboratory in the School of Mechanical Engineering. They saw a large number of professors and students surrounding the place, working on a strange machine.
This machine is very large, like a small room. You can clearly see that there is an oversized cylinder, and below the cylinder is a boiler-like cylinder.??Combustion mode to study this machine.
Now that Zhu Houzhao woke up like this, everyone screamed in surprise.
"If you use strong fire oil to burn, this inlet can be connected with a pipe. There is no need for such a large inlet, and there is no need to worry about adding fuel."
¡°Furthermore, the combustion of fierce fire oil is easier and more stable, and it can also be better controlled. You only need to control the incoming fuel.¡±
"Yes, yes, why can't you use strong fire oil?"
"This machine does not need to be designed to be so large. It can simply be placed directly in the cylinder for combustion."
"Yes, yes, this cylinder is the combustion chamber. There is no need for an extra combustion chamber. The strong combustion of oil directly drives the cylinder to do work."
"It is much easier to add oil. You can set an oil inlet device directly on the piston to spray the oil in."
¡°This is truly a genius idea and design.¡±

Many professors and students immediately started a heated discussion around this internal combustion engine. Even Zhu Houzhao soon joined in. When they met those with different opinions, they would argue with each other.
As for Liu Jin, he was completely ignored and no one cared about it. Ren Siheng quickly joined the heated discussion, arguing and constantly putting forward his own ideas.
"Is this a direct progression from solid fuel to liquid fuel?"
Liu Jin was dumbfounded and touched his chin. It felt like the internal combustion engine would soon be mature and ready for use
