Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 100 Taking the first step

Huang Jiang left Lanhuadan Island and returned to Jialan Island with some worries.

When he came back he received several big surprises.The first thing you see is the power grid that has been laid out.Black wires carry electricity from the South Garland Generating Station to a substation on the edge of a residential area.After passing through the substation, the AC power is reduced to 220V in the transformer.

Huang Jiang sometimes feels that he is the most shameless traveler in history.Generally speaking, this kind of thing usually happens after he mentions something, and then the victim suddenly exclaims and then sighs to show the protagonist's extraordinary IQ.It's a pity that Huang Jiang is not smart, or he is not smart enough. In front of the real geniuses in this world, the knowledge he knows always seems very shallow.Just like the parameters of the electric current, this has not been handled by Huang Jiang. In fact, if Nicholas did not ask about this thing, he would not even realize that this is a very important standard.

There are three parameters brought by Nikola, one is 120V, 60Hz, one is 240V, 50Hz, and the last one is 220V, 50Hz. There is also a 380V, but Nikola feels that it is suitable for civilian use. The voltage was too high, so it was eliminated when he calculated it.Huang Jiang knows that these numbers are related to the trigonometric function of alternating current, but if you ask him to tell you how these numbers come from, Huang Jiang may not be able to explain clearly without facing the formula for a while.

Finally, the official current that residents of Jialan Island are exposed to is 200V, 50Hz alternating current. Why it is this parameter instead of 120V or 240V? This is entirely because Huangjiang is used to this number.When Nikolai asked him about this question, he chose this number at random.

Now, under the leadership of Thors and "Squire" Gloria, the power grid project on Gloria Island has basically been completed. By the time Huang Jiang returns to Gloria Island, the wires have been pulled out and they are waiting for Huang Jiang to hold the ceremony. It's the lighting ceremony.

But before that, Huang Jiang met his friend Dalem at the invitation of Thors, the man whom Thors said was inspiring to promote the miniaturization of internal combustion engines.

On the vast grassland of Dongjialan, Huang Jiang saw the research results of the two of them while he was away.

A steampunk motorcycle and a weird car.

Regarding motorcycles, Huang Jiang was not too surprised. After all, when he left the island, he had already seen the drawings of internal combustion engine bicycles sent by Dailem in advance. It was only a matter of time before the wooden structure was turned into iron. However, the unique shape made Huang Jiang a little unexpected.The motorcycle prototype that appeared in front of him had a huge exhaust pipe, and on the exposed side of the engine were eight thick cooling water pipes.The whole bike is very low, but the handlebars are very high. When a cyclist sits on it, the hand holding the handlebars is roughly at the same level as his ears.

This is a unique heavy-duty motorcycle, and Huang Jiang believes that it will be loved by some unique young people.

But what surprised him even more was the "car" next to him.Although it is said to be a car, in fact, this car is more like a tractor that Huang Jiang has seen, because the engine that drives the vehicle is installed at the front end of the car, and the steering structure has to carry the entire engine with it.This makes the entire back seat look like the cabin of a trailer.According to Dailem, this is because he is worried that the new engine will malfunction during operation and cause an accident that cannot stop, leading to a car accident. Therefore, when designing, he made it possible to separate the engine from the passenger compartment. With its unique structure, when danger occurs, the front of the car with the engine can be separated from the passenger compartment to ensure the safety of the passengers.

When Huang Jiang heard this reason, he actually thought it made sense.He always felt that something was wrong, but with his language skills he could not find a word to refute, so he very irresponsibly fulfilled his rights as an investor and "Party A" and forcefully demanded that Dai Lem designed his new transportation vehicle, which he named Huangjiang's car, as a structure with an integrated body and a closed compartment that can seat four to five people.

"But..." Dalem hesitated.

"No need to but, according to this design, I think it is feasible." Huang Jiang made a standard "Party A" statement.

Dalem muttered and backed away. "So why do you call this new car a car?" Towers came over with interest.

"Because it burns gasoline." Huang Jiang said confidently.

"Gasoline?" Thors looked at the oil barrel aside. In fact, they haven't named this petroleum product yet. They usually use the most common "oil" as a title.

"So why are you asking for gasoline?" Towers asked in confusion.

"When this kind of car is popularized, this product will definitely become a product. Since it is a product, it always needs a name." Huang Jiang would not say that it was because he was called that in his previous life. In fact, he didn't even know that now Whether Dalem's engine burns gasoline or diesel, it's better to call it gasoline. Anyway, he has the right to name the things under his hands in this world. He can call it safflower oil if he wants.

Huang Jiang stayed for a while on this road, which was used as a temporary testing ground.At this time, Dailem was already lowering his head to repair and dismantle his test machine, and his face was covered with black oil.

"By the way, the idea you mentioned to Nicholas before you left, Nicholas has done a good job." Thors said.

"Ship-borne generators and ship-borne armed renovation equipment? So fast." This was really beyond Huang Jiang's expectation. He never expected that Nikolai would build a ship capable of carrying armed renovation equipment so quickly. He was carrying a generator, so he didn’t ask about it after he came back. And Nikolai was a taciturn person. He liked to make some unexpected inventions quietly.

If it weren't for the promotion of his alternating current, Nikolai would not have taken the electrical equipment to the performance stage. Rather than appearing in public, he preferred to immerse himself in the laboratory and conduct sleepless research.

"Don't underestimate Nicholas's talent in electricity." Thors was sincerely proud of his friend, although he was not familiar with Nicholas before, "A pastor once told me However, God always gives everyone an extraordinary strength, and Nikola is electricity."

"...Shouldn't the pastor be talking about God?"

"Really?" Thors suddenly realized, "No wonder my colleagues in the church didn't like me when I was a pastor."

"You fucking were a priest..."

"Eating from a living, living from a living." Thors didn't want to admit that he happened to be a priest for a period of time because he lost all his belongings and went to the church to receive relief.
