Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 223 Technological Innovation

When Lu Hao came here this time, in addition to inspection, the most important thing was to solve some technical problems.

After all, he has more than 2000 years of technical knowledge and information reserves.

When it comes to information transmission, the fastest is naturally radio or telephone communication. Unfortunately, it is not possible yet.

The fastest means of communication in Qianyuan Continent now is flying pigeons to pass messages and fast horse stations.

This method of communication is simply too slow.

In fact, Lu Hao was very clear about the structure and principles of the transmitter. However, with the current technology in mainland China, it was impossible to produce the components of the transmitter.

You can try the telephone, but long-distance communication requires wires as a basis, which seems difficult to achieve.

The progress of an era, the progress of science and technology, is one step at a time. Even if he knows the principle, the basic industry cannot get it.

Lu Hao no longer insists on these things. He can only use the resources at hand to make some simple transformations and technological innovations.

The temperature of the smelting furnace has been greatly increased under the influence of coke, and the quality of the steel produced has also reached a higher level.

These are still upgraded and transformed based on the original technology.

Lu Hao tried to draw a prototype of a steam engine and explained the principles of the steam engine to Peng Weiqiang and others.

"Prime Minister, you mean to use this steam to push the connecting rod, and then use the connecting rod to drive the flywheel..."

Peng Weiqiang is indeed a skilled craftsman, and he understood the principle immediately.

"Yes, you see, this is the cylinder. The steam enters from here, forcibly pushes the piston with air pressure, and then passes through the crank connecting rod mechanism..."

"This linkage mechanism can generate power to drive the mechanical part to rotate back and forth. The slide valve air distribution device is used to discharge these useless airflows..."

"The last group is the speed regulating mechanism, which can adjust the speed..."

"As for the coal used for combustion and the boiler that generates steam, this should be very easy to build..."

Lu Hao once again explained the principles in detail.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I understand the principle and should be able to produce it."

Peng Weiqiang is confident.

In fact, the principle of the steam engine is not too complicated. After all, mankind also transitioned from the steam age to the electric age.

Therefore, if Lu Hao wants to transcend the era, basic industries cannot be obtained.

"The other thing is this petroleum distillation extraction method, which can decompose petroleum into gasoline, kerosene and diesel..."

Lu Hao began to explain the method of refining oil again.

After petroleum is extracted by distillation and extraction, it is divided into gasoline, kerosene and diesel according to different temperatures.

The temperature of each stage of distillation and extraction is different. Below 350 degrees is gasoline, [-] to [-] degrees is kerosene, and above [-] degrees to [-] degrees is basically diesel.

After being extracted in this way, these gasoline, kerosene and diesel have wider uses.

At least candles would be a thing of the past, as kerosene lamps were definitely more practical than candles.

Of course, when gasoline becomes available in the future, the power of gasoline bombs will be comparable to incendiary bombs, but a hundred times more powerful than kerosene bombs.

As for the use of diesel, once the steam engine is formed and modified to burn diesel to drive the piston, it can be equipped on ships and cars.

If the diesel engine can be formed, then a diesel generator can be produced, and only then will the Qianyuan Continent be able to enter the era of electricity.

With more than 2000 years of historical knowledge and culture, Lu Hao is fully capable of crushing this era.

Xuanyuan Lingyu and Situ Tianyin were even more fascinated. They looked at the man in front of them with affection in their beautiful eyes.

"Master Peng, starting from today, you will sit in Hengyang City and start studying what I told you. As for what you need to purchase, let Master Liu Zhihong and Liu assist you."

"As for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, I have asked Dong Bifang, the governor of Jianghuai County, to take over. You still enjoy the benefits of the position of Minister. You are independent from the six ministries and are not subject to anyone's orders. You only obey the orders of the Prime Minister. .”

Lu Hao has high hopes for Master Peng.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will definitely do my best to build a steam engine as soon as possible!"

Peng Weiqiang assured loudly.

"Xuanyuan Lingyu, you continue to train the new army. From now on, start live-fire training to keep everyone's shooting accuracy above 70.00%..."

"In addition, ensure that guns are not leaked. How many guns are taken out every day must be taken back, and the use of guns must be recorded and managed..."

Lu Hao explained. "But we don't know how to shoot yet, otherwise, the Prime Minister can teach us."

Xuanyuan Lingyu responded.

"Okay, I'll teach you the real situation."

Lu Hao readily agreed.

Soon, the group arrived at the shooting training range.

Simple targets are made here, and the shooting distance is generally about 100 meters.

This is the most basic distance. If you have excellent eyesight, you can reach 200 meters.

Of course, with Lu Hao's eyesight, three to five hundred meters is no problem, and can even reach a thousand meters away.

A box of rifles was brought out, appearing on the training ground for the first time.

"Master Xiang..."

Peng Weiqiang personally took out a gun and handed it to Lu Hao.

After Lu Hao took it, Peng Weiqiang handed over the bullet.

I saw him loading the bullet and aiming at the target a hundred meters away.

boom!
The gunfire rang out and the bullets flew through the air, unable to be caught by the naked eye.

puff!

The bullet penetrated the target and left a hole.

"Hahaha……"

Lu Hao laughed loudly and said: "Well, the power of this rifle is pretty good, although... there is still a slight gap, but it's barely enough!"

"Master Prime Minister, you hit the bull's-eye, ten rings!"

Wu Qingyu in the distance responded.

"What's ten rings?"

Lu Hao looked up at the sky and said to everyone: "Did you see that eagle? Shoot it down!"

"Lu Hao, just blow it!"

Xuanyuan Lingyu's face was full of disbelief.

"Okay! I'll let you know what a sharpshooter is!"

After Lu Hao finished speaking, he took the bullet, loaded it, and raised the rifle.

Everyone looked at him nervously and then at the eagle flying in the sky, full of expectation.

boom!
The gunfire rang out and the eagle fell down instantly.

Everyone looked at everything in front of them with their mouths open, completely confused.

"Master Prime Minister, I can't believe it. Why is this rifle so powerful?"

Xuanyuan Lingyu exclaimed first.

"Yes, so high? And the eagle is still flying, how is it possible?"

Situ Tianyin also looked in disbelief.

"After you learn how to shoot fixed targets, you can practice moving targets. Then you can shoot the eagle just like you did."

Lu Hao explained patiently.

"That's it! General, I need to learn how to shoot quickly."

Xuanyuan Lingyu was extremely happy.

"Actually, your archery skills are so good and your foundation is very solid. As long as you make some adjustments, shooting won't be a problem for you."

Lu Hao encouraged with a smile.
