Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

"Young master, you are here!"

As soon as Zhao Che entered, Shen Kuo walked over yawning.

In order to manufacture the internal combustion engine as soon as possible, everyone in the Military Aircraft Department is working day and night without sleep.

Moreover, this time Zhao Che did not provide them with a complete blueprint, even Zhao Che himself was not sure what details needed to be paid attention to in the structure of the internal combustion engine.

Therefore, they can only constantly improve the structure of the internal combustion engine through repeated experiments and improvements.

After repeated failures, the researchers of the Military Aircraft Department have gradually cultivated resilience and patience beyond ordinary people.

Every component of the internal combustion engine is very delicate, so it often takes many days for them to create an experimental product every time.

Moreover, every test needs to be compared, and repeated boring tests are repeated again and again, which is very hard to the patience and blow of these researchers.

After working hard for many days, I often didn't even have time to eat. I finally saw hope, but failed because of some small accidents in the blink of an eye. This feeling of falling short is not something ordinary people can bear.

Although the Military Aircraft Department said that it has been developed for so long, in fact, they have always been on the road of researching Zhao Che and producing complete results.

Because every project that Zhao Che proposed has already been finished and has a set of very solid foundational theories, so they only need to carry out research and breakthrough step by step.

But the internal combustion engine, although it sounds similar to a steam engine, is actually two different things, and without Zhao Che to guide them, they can only explore with their own hands.

In this way, the time and effort required to produce an internal combustion engine will far exceed their previous expectations.

"Everyone has worked hard!"

Zhao Che patted Shen Kuo on the shoulder. He also saw the growth of these people. From the beginning, after experiencing failures, they caused all kinds of emotional collapse and madness. Now, after each failure, they have become accustomed to it. It can even record the reasons for the failure very calmly and quickly, and then make corrections.

For a scientific researcher to make achievements, in addition to having rich and solid basic knowledge, such a calm and tough character is also essential.

After Zhao Che comforted him a few words, he walked into the forging workshop and saw the first internal combustion engine being tested.

"How, did today's test go well?"

"My lord, after a lot of debugging, we can basically satisfy the smooth operation of the internal combustion engine now!"

"Oh? That's good news. Any questions?"

Zhao Che said after a compliment.

"My lord, the problem is that although the internal combustion engine can be activated now, the power is far from meeting our requirements, even worse than the power of the steam engine. Once the power output is too large, it may cause flameout or even collapse."

"Have you found out what the problem is?"

Zhao Che nodded, took the experimental data recorded by them, and began to study.

"We are testing now, and the initial guess may be that there may be a problem with the material or some aspects of the structure."

Shen Kuo explained a few words aside.

At this time, Zhao Che was already lost in thought while looking at the experimental data.

"How long until the test results are available?"

"My lord, it's almost the end, the next step is to test how much the maximum power can reach."

"Okay, increase the power, I want to see the effect!"

After Zhao Che explained, the person in charge of the test immediately increased the power.

"Boom boom boom!"

As several sets of internal combustion engines increased their power one after another, there was a burst of noise in the workshop.

Zhao Che was completely indifferent to these noises, but stared fixedly at the running internal combustion engine.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

Soon, with the power turned up, the otherwise under-tested internal combustion engine was already sounding overwhelmed and even started to emit black smoke.

"My lord, do you need to stop the test? It may be dangerous if you continue!"

During the tests in the past few days, various accidents occurred frequently during the experiment, and even several people were injured during the experiment, and they are still recuperating in the hospital.

Therefore, Shen Kuo also went to Zhao Che's side in time to ask.

"Stay away, take protective measures, and the experiment will continue!"

Zhao Che raised a hand, if the experiment was stopped because of possible danger, it would be difficult to find out the problem.

Hearing Zhao Che's words, everyone had no complaints, and immediately retreated to a safe range, and the personnel in charge of rescue and dealing with unexpected situations were already in place.

They are also experienced now, no matter what unexpected situation occurs during the experiment, they can step forward to stop and deal with it in time.

"boom!"

Not long after Zhao Che and the others retreated to a safe distance, an accident happened to the internal combustion engine that was running.

A flame shot out from the inner casing of one of the internal combustion engines, rushing straight up to a height of several meters.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining internal combustion engines basically reached their limits, and various problems began to occur. Some stalled, and some even directly broke parts.

Fortunately, Shen Kuo came up to dissuade him in time, otherwise the accident in the experiment just now would probably cause someone to be injured again.

"Okay, clean up the scene!"

Zhao Che shook his head, his heart was already frowning a bit. After the situation was dealt with a little bit, Zhao Che came to the wreckage of the internal combustion engine that caught fire just now and began to check.

Shen Kuo at the side held the experiment notebook, listened to Zhao Che's question, and began to record the data just now in detail.

"It seems that there are still problems with the structure we proposed before. It needs to be improved on the original basis, and the accuracy of the material is still insufficient. After all, it is difficult to guarantee accuracy and consistency with manual work."

Zhao Che quickly found out the reason, but these things are not so easy to solve, at least in Daqin where there are no lathes and machinery factories, manual work is still the mainstream at present.

Fortunately, Daqin can now easily use water power, wind power, and even steam power to replace many manual operations. These problems only need a little improvement.

At the very least, the research work on internal combustion engines still has some results, and they are very obvious.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard all night, go back and rest early, and leave the rest to Gongshuqiu and the others!"

Zhao Che brought over the experimental notes recorded by Shen Kuo, and then explained to everyone.

In order to develop a feasible internal combustion engine as soon as possible, the work of the mechanical department is now in shifts to 24 hours.

Gongshu Qiu in the day shift is mainly responsible for improving and forging the existing internal combustion engine based on the results obtained after the test every night.

And Shen Kuo is responsible for leading people to test and record, including finding problems.

The two sides cooperate with each other, and the research progress of the internal combustion engine can be so fast.
