Chapter 856 Improved internal combustion engine, brainstorming ideas! (Two in one, please subscribe!!!)

After disassembling the parts one by one and recording their original positions, the researchers drew a detailed drawing in just half a day.

Marking the scales and sending copies of the drawings to the arsenal for production was not a problem for the Romanov Kingdom at all. They were indeed industrially backward, but they still had the factories they should have, not to mention that internal combustion engines were not particularly difficult machines to make.

With the drawings in hand, it only took the researchers half an hour to restore the internal combustion engine, fill it with kerosene, and burn red copper wire to start it smoothly.

Pugachev led a group of experts in physics, mathematics, and craftsmanship to carefully look around the internal combustion engine, compare it with the drawings, and quickly understand the operating principle. While amazed, he started to discuss the next step.

"Your Majesty only has two and a half days left for us, but with such a machine, how can we transform it?"

"How about putting this machine on the ship?"

"Idiot! Steamships have been around for many years. Your Majesty wants a new idea! It is an invention that surpasses the Kingdom of Windsor! What kind of invention do you think it is to build an internal combustion engine ship? Can't the Kingdom of Windsor build it?"

Pugachev slammed the table angrily. He mobilized all the elites of the Academy of Sciences. In addition to the team studying alchemy technology, Misha and the others had an equally arduous task and could not be distracted.

From the faces of the experts present, Pugachev could not see a glimmer of hope. The time was too short. Research is inherently long-term work. Three days is just a blink of an eye. Reproducing an internal combustion engine is already the limit, and we still need to build on the basics. Make inventions and transformations.

Isn’t this embarrassing?

But there was no way, Katerina gave the order to die. Pugachev, who was already guilty, knew that he had no choice if he could not satisfy Katerina.

Pugachev shuddered, and a chill ran down his spine. He had seen Katerina's methods. Considering the hard work in the past, Katerina would not execute him, and would most likely send him to the cold Siberia. Digging potatoes, the goddess is on top.

It would be better to execute him than go to Siberia!

The prisoners there are worse than dead!

Pugachev was so distraught that he had not slept for more than ten hours, and the same was true for other experts. As the night got darker, many of them were already feeling sleepy and yawning.

"No sleep allowed!"

With a bang, Pugachev banged the table hard and yelled: "Cheer up, everyone! No one is allowed to rest until we come up with a plan!"

If you want to improve the internal combustion engine, you must find its flaws, which is not difficult.

It is definitely easier to find faults than to invent and innovate.

Although the internal combustion engine invented by Barnett and Otto was advanced, it was not the originator of the internal combustion engine. If we really need to trace its origins, the mechanism in which gunpowder burned in the cylinder and pushed the piston to do work was invented by Huygens, a physicist from the Kingdom of Bourbon two hundred years ago. The first internal combustion engine.

Then the steam engine appeared, and Watt improved the steam engine, making it popular and triggering the first industrial revolution.

It is not an accident that Otto and Barnett were able to develop a single-cylinder four-stroke internal combustion engine, but an inevitable result of historical accumulation. This internal combustion engine has the shadow of other historical machines in terms of structure and parts. Barnett and Otto The greatest thing is the invention of the four-stroke cycle of the piston.

It is extremely difficult to improve such a machine that comes from history. Everyone frowned and sighed deeply from time to time.

The room was filled with smoke, like a dense fog on the top of a mountain. The depressed Pugachev took out a cigarette, picked up a lighter, rolled the flint, and sparks shot out from the friction of the flint, igniting the cotton silk stained with kerosene.

A wisp of flame burst out.

"Ok?"

Pugachev looked at the flames and was stunned for a moment. He closed the lid, opened it, and lit it again.

chap!

His eyes gradually widened, and the flames gradually became clearer in the reflection of his pupils. Pugachev suddenly stood up and picked up the drawings on the table. He was so excited that he couldn't help himself, as if he had discovered a new world.

He rubbed his hands and wanted to slap himself, but his hand drew an arc in the air and landed on the face of the old professor beside him.

Snapped!

"Dean, why did you hit me?!"

The old professor, who was deep in thought and was slapped for no reason, looked at Pugachev in shock and was stunned.

"I'm regretting it! I didn't find such a simple thing! I'm still struggling! It seems that I'm really old. I should have thought of it when I was young!"

"If you regret it, just slap yourself! Did I provoke you?"

"Nonsense, it hurts to slap yourself! My heart hurts already, I can't let it hurt anymore!"

Pugachev snorted confidently and shouted: "Everyone listen to me!"

Everyone raised their heads and looked over.

Walking to the machine, Pugachev said loudly: "Look, before starting this machine, you must first burn red copper wire, and use the temperature of the copper wire to ignite the kerosene to achieve the ignition effect. This is too troublesome. , can we change the ignition method?”

No matter how small an innovation is, it is still an innovation. As long as one step can be omitted, it is an improvement!

Three days is too short, no matter what, let’s get over it first!

"Dean, what do you think?"

"Lenoir's gas internal combustion engine! Have you all forgotten!" Pugachev spat: "The mixture of gas and air is ignited to push the piston to do work! This is the working principle of the Lenoir gas engine! "

Someone heard what Pugachev meant: "Spark plug? Dean, do you want to use a spark plug to ignite the fuel gas?"

"That's right!" Pugachev said excitedly: "It's too troublesome to burn red copper wire! Spark plugs are more convenient!"

As a physicist, Vice President Alexei frowned and said: "A spark plug made of insulating ceramics and two motors can indeed ignite fuel and gas, but it is not stable enough! This is why Barnett and Otto did not choose spark plugs. Reason to start!”

"What kind of stability do you want! His Majesty asked us to innovate, but he didn't ask us to be stable! How is it possible to create a stable and advanced version of the internal combustion engine in just three days? This is a fantasy!"

Everyone looked at each other in shock. It must be said that Dean Pugachev's thinking was indeed active and he had grasped the essence of the problem.

Stability is not important, novelty is the key.

Someone raised an objection: "The basic of innovation is to be able to operate. Putting hot copper wire into the combustion chamber can maintain the temperature through the subsequent explosion of oil and gas. How to use spark plugs to ensure ignition efficiency?"

An expert on electromagnetic fields spoke at this moment: "On the basis of the internal combustion engine, connect a circuit! Otto's internal combustion engine needs to heat the copper wire first, and then pull the pull rod to control the intake valve to start the machine. We can add a spark plug circuit As long as you press the switch, the spark plug will ignite at a stable frequency. At this time, pull the lever to let in air, and the machine will start!"

There is no need to worry about the ignition frequency or the air intake gap. As long as the machine can start and run at a stable frequency, you can submit it to Katerina!

When people are forced into desperate situations, they can always burst out with amazing potential. Pugachev, who has been full of brains and intestines for many years, did not expect that he would regain a trace of his youth. At that time, he was in his prime and also an academic. A rising star, dubbed a genius

now

Patting his round belly, Pugachev sighed, sighing with emotion and sighing: "Since when did I become like this?"

With the plan in hand, Pugachev quickly sent someone to place an order with the factory, asking them to work overnight to produce suitable parts. The spark plugs and circuits were ready for temporary use.

On the morning of the fourth day, Katerina came to the Royal Academy of Sciences in person. The airship was parked in Red Square. The carefully selected Olympic athletes had already boarded the ship, but she also had to bring an improved internal combustion engine with her.

"Pugachev!"

Bodelinov pushed open the office door. Pugachev, who was sitting behind the desk, shook slightly. He opened his bloodshot eyes and stood up to greet Katerina.

"His Majesty."

"Are you ready for what I want?"

"When you're ready, please follow me."

Under the leadership of Pugachev, Katerina came to the workshop, where there were three internal combustion engines. One was brought by Mavey from London, and the other was a replica that was assembled with parts produced by the arsenal. Finally, The one with additional circuitry is a modified version. The replica version was indistinguishable from the original version. The parts specifications were almost the same, and the errors were very small. Katerina only glanced at it, then turned to look at the third internal combustion engine and asked: "What did you do?"

"The original internal combustion engine uses copper wire for ignition, and we installed an additional circuit to eliminate the trouble of heating the copper wire for startup."

Pugachev pointed to the gate switch on the table and said: "As long as your majesty pulls the switch and flips the air intake lever, the internal combustion engine will start!"

Katerina didn't like nonsense. She walked to the table, put on the rubber gloves that Bodlinov handed her, held the switch handle, and closed the circuit.

Zip!

The circuit was connected, current flowed into the internal combustion engine, and the spark plug immediately began to fire sparks. Pugachev pulled the intake rod in time, and the spark ignited the fuel gas. The machine roared and the piston began to work up and down.

After observing for a while and making sure that the machine was running smoothly, Katerina nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, Pugachev, you finally look like you were young."

Katerina was a five-year-old girl when Pugachev emerged. At that time, she heard her father Peter the Great praise Pugachev's talent, saying that a genius was born in the Romanov Kingdom.

Pugachev's subsequent fall was beyond everyone's expectation. Since he became the dean of the Academy of Sciences, he had forgotten his original intention and became mercenary, pursuing fame and fortune.

Listening to Katerina's compliments, Pugachev grinned, not knowing whether to be happy or uncomfortable. There seemed to be something blocked in his chest, and he was panicking.

"Take your machine and get on the airship." Katerina turned and walked towards the door.

"where to?"

"London, of course."

Bodelinov patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Your mission is not over yet. We still have to show your improved internal combustion engine in front of King Arthur."

"What? Going to London to show?"

Pugachev swallowed and deliberately refused, but Bodelinov seemed to be holding his shoulders, but in fact he was pushing him forward.

"Don't be afraid, just show off and talk about your ideas by the way. This is a good opportunity for you to shine in the London academic world."

Lowering his voice, Bodelinov smiled and said, "Just don't embarrass the Romanov Kingdom."

Pugachev was taken aboard the airship together with the improved internal combustion engine. Until it took off, Pugachev could not recover. He was so sleepy that he only slept less than four hours in three days. He fell asleep as soon as he got on the airship and didn't wake up until the third night.

The airship had entered the airspace of the Kingdom of Windsor, less than a hundred kilometers away from London. Pugachev rubbed his dizzy head and came to the restaurant to find food, and happened to meet Bodelinov.

Mosk, no one is not afraid of Bodlinov. As the supreme commander of the secret police, Katerina gave Bodlinov extremely high powers. He can arrest any official without asking Katerina in advance. Na or other departments report, in front of him, even the justice has to give in.

Seeing Pugachev, Bodelinov showed a hearty smile: "Dean! Come and sit down! I'm worried that no one will drink with me!"

Pugachev sat down next to Bodelinov tremblingly, watched Bodelinov pour him a glass of wine, clinked the glasses and said, "Baye is reasonable!"

After a few glasses of vodka, Pugachev's groggy head seemed to clear up, his tense body relaxed, and he began to talk and laugh with Bodelinov.

"What is your Majesty doing in London this time?"

"Didn't I tell you? We are conducting a joint trial with the Kingdom of Windsor! Showing off the improved internal combustion engine is just by the way!"

Bodelinov bit off half a pickle, chewed it and said, "Your task is very easy, just demonstrate it! This is a good opportunity to become famous! I didn't lie to you!"

"oh oh."

Pugachev took a sip of wine and asked curiously: "Why does your Majesty need to go to such a small thing as a joint trial in person? Is there any other reason?"

"."

Putting down the wine glass gently, Bodelinov burped, his eyes flashed with a cold light, he stared at Pugachev for a long time, and asked slowly: "You want to know?"

"I, I won't ask anymore."

Pugachev licked his lips, picked up the glass and drank it all, and suddenly woke up from the wine.

"Just don't ask!" Bodelinov laughed and said: "Some things are best not to know, and even if you know, you can't say them. If you say them, you will have to bear the consequences. Are you right, Dean Pugachev? "

"Yep."

A ray of dawn lit up the sky and shone through the window. The airship arrived over London and landed in the open space in the western suburbs.

The Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Shawn, personally greeted them. The demon hunters lined up neatly, blocked the surrounding area, and cleared the road in advance.

Looking around, Katerina didn't see Arthur's figure and asked, "Where is Father Mavey?"

"Your Majesty, Father Marvey?"

Prime Minister Sean had thought up his words in advance, but Katerina didn't ask why Arthur didn't come to greet her at all. Instead, she asked about Ma Wei

"Father Marvey, maybe in the church."

Sean didn't know the answer either, it was a bit too much.

"Take me to him."

"Your Majesty Katerina, don't you go to see Your Majesty Arthur first?"

"Go see Father Mavey first."

".As commanded."
