Chapter 47 Internal combustion vehicles
Leaving the restaurant, there is about an hour left before the reservation time for departure to Newar in the afternoon. Dusand decided to walk to the workshop to see how his research and development of Polina was progressing.
When he walked to a place one or two hundred Yolls away from the workshop, Dusand heard a series of familiar voices.
That was the sound of the engine's continuous exhaust, which sounded like a continuous sound of a car engine running, which was not of good quality, and might be scrapped.
Moreover, the sound seemed to be gradually getting louder.
Dusand narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, and immediately found a steam horse with almost all the shells removed and all the moving parts on his body exposed.
The steam horse did not drag the passenger carriage like other steam horses, but instead was a very simple ride platform - two wheels and a wooden flat plate, and directly buckled on the exposed steam horse's shoulder through the wooden board.
It looks like a flat-panel donkey cart that could only be seen in movies in the previous life.
The "steam horse" holding a flat donkey cart was stuffed into the belly of an engine that looked very inappropriate. This machine, tied with iron wires of various sizes and thicknesses, was running with all its strength. At the horse's chest, a four-leaf wooden paddle was rotating rapidly. Behind the fan, there was a cold row full of handmade marks.
Polina's current dress is comparable to the winter pilot during World War I, and her thick leather gloves and thick leather jacket wrapped her firmly.
Dusand was able to recognize Polina because she wrote down her name very roughly on her clothes.
"Mr. Lord." Polina, who was sitting in the donkey cart, saw Dusande. She twisted the valve of the high-pressure gas cylinder and waved at Dusande excitedly, "The coolant you sent was good, it started moving!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Polina." Dusander showed joy and congratulated Polina enthusiastically, "You are right, it is indeed the most important invention of this era!"
A flat-panel donkey cart pulled by a "steam horse" with difficulty could not be "the most important invention of this era", but it is indeed an internal combustion engine that can be put into use. Dusand was very excited. He circled the donkey cart several times, and then suddenly stopped.
However, this "horse" doesn't seem to look very good. It walks slowly and often makes strange gear irrelevant noises.
Dusand asked the question, "This horse seems to be running something, can this... solve it?"
"I'm afraid it's difficult." Speaking of this, Polina's expression of joy suddenly became bitter at the beginning. "The torque of the gas machine is too small, and it's difficult to drive these structural movements of the steam horse. I'm considering whether to optimize the internal structure of the steam horse, at least consider removing the gear set and lever that runs at high speed - this may reduce a lot of weight and consumption."
Dusand was about to encourage his teacher to continue working hard in the engineering field, and then he suddenly slapped his thigh.
He was really deviated by this style that was so biased that he was so distant.
Why install internal combustion engines into steam mari?
"That's all ready-made things." Dusander became happier and happier. He even said with a clever inspiration. "If possible, can you create a prototype engineering car that can drive in a week? It requires four-wheel drive, an enclosed cockpit and a cargo bucket similar to the steam carriage. We will have a joint action with the Navy Commando later. If we can show the great potential of internal combustion engine vehicles in front of them, we will not have to worry about no orders!"
"It should be possible." Polina said after thinking about it quickly, "then a transfer box is needed to transmit power, two differentials in front and rear..." She seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and while excitedly conceiving, she quickly recorded it on her laptop. "Military vehicles may not necessarily have flat roads to walk on, but they also need to adjust the suspension structure and driving structure form..."
Dusander watched Polina fall into "fanity", and he also circled around twice excitedly, and then instructed, "This early device does not have to be perfect, but it must be durable."
