Chapter 1512: Build airplanes and submarines!
Hearing this, everyone said, "Your Highness, you can't do it!"
“This is what we should do!”
Qin Le even said: "We are not only helping the Ming Dynasty, but also helping ourselves. Your Highness, you are so serious. Moreover, without you, even if we have twenty or thirty years, we may not be able to develop an internal combustion engine.
Not to mention internal combustion engines, even steam engines cannot be developed!”
Everyone agreed.
Most of the people here are scientists from the Qin clan, and they themselves have a deep sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty.
Isn’t helping Daming just helping them?
Moreover, Qin Mo pointed out the general direction for them. Although some details are not clear, with General Qin Mo, they just need to keep trying and making mistakes.
It's like the filament of a light bulb.
They used a lot of materials before but they were useless.
Qin Mo directly said that he used tungsten wire, and the result was gratifying. The lifespan of the tungsten wire bulb is far better than that of other materials.
This saves them a lot of trouble.
They just did this as they were told, with contributions, but not the biggest.
In the eyes of everyone, Qin Mo was the one who made the most contribution, but Qin Mo never took the credit. Instead, he gave them all the credits to them, allowing them to get more benefits.
Qin Mo smiled and did not deny it, "We are working together sincerely. In short, what we promised to you must not be missing.
Today, you are the greatest heroes, enjoy this joy!"
Everyone cheered, and they didn't seem to know what kind of development they would bring.
It is no exaggeration to say that the advent of internal combustion engines has directly pushed the level of the Ming Dynasty forward for decades.
It is very difficult for Daqian to catch up with Daming.
This also means that the industrial level of the Ming Dynasty has surpassed that of Daqian in all respects.
Although the overall size is not as large as Dahan, it is only a matter of time before the size exceeds Dahan.
Qin Mo told Lao Qin about the news. Although Lao Qin was happy, he seemed to have not realized the benefits of the advent of the internal combustion engine, and just said: "Well, I need to give more rewards!"
"It's gone?" Qin Mo asked.
"I won't say anything, let you give me a good reward?" Qin Xiangru said.
"Dad, do you understand what an internal combustion engine means?"
"Isn't the internal combustion engine an upgraded version of the steam engine?" Qin Xiangru frowned and said, "That thing has been swallowed tens of millions of taels in a few years, and it's always a waste of money."
The Royal Academy of Sciences has invested hugely, with the annual investment exceeding 30 million taels of silver.
Thanks to Qin Xiangru's treasury, otherwise it would not be enough to rely on the Ming Dynasty's tax revenue.
Of course, this does not mean that the royal family and the treasury have no money.
On the contrary, the royal family and the treasury have a lot of money, even so much that they are worried.
"What does it mean?" Qin Mo snorted: "Let me tell you this. Steam engines have brought about the first industrial change, so the emergence of internal combustion engines is the second industrial change.
In the future, our steam locomotives can completely surpass war horses.
Steam trains can also be updated into internal combustion engine trains, with speeds of more than twice as fast.
The most important thing is that we can build airplanes!”
"Is the one who can fly in the sky to build an airplane?" Qin Xiangru widened his eyes.
The Ming Dynasty had a serious air force and had developed airships at present, but the thing was too big, clumsy, had low safety factor, and was difficult to control.
