Chapter 57, The Curious Engineer
It is not that with engines, there are cars and engineering machines.

Chassis, moving parts, suspension system, transmission system, body design, handling system... There is a lot more than the engine that is needed to make a good car.

However, the question of good and bad can be resolved later, with a suitable source of motivation, there is a beginning.

To put it bluntly, take the entire car frame, the entire transmission rod, and the entire wheels of alloy plastic steel, and build a three-wheeled jumper that can run, and pull a cart behind it, which is much better than using human and animal power.

Now that the engine is available, if some design plans for vehicles and engineering machines are drawn out later, the heavy industry in Gu Hang's territory can take another big step forward.

Before that, Gu Hang planned to find someone to design a simple car that could move, improve transportation efficiency, and make some exports by the way.If the output is not bad and the performance is sufficient, a small three-wheeled truck can be assembled to equip our troops, and the high and low will also be a motorized infantry regiment.

Gu Hang came to his secret base, where a basement was dug and a wall was built. The loyal and reliable machine servants received strict orders to stay here and not allow anyone to enter.

Of course, the governor can come in as he pleases.

Here, the two technologies and four black box manufacturing machines that were drawn out before are all there.

In addition, a lot of open space has been reserved.On the one hand, it is reserved for the four existing machines to feed and produce; on the other hand, it is also convenient to place more machines in the future.

He configured the new two machines.

There are also workers in this secret factory.The level of confidentiality is high, and they are not allowed to leak information. They are required to live in the factory. They are not allowed to go out unless there are special circumstances, and they will be monitored when they go out.

They poured the raw materials into the finished black box for producing the engine, and soon, under Gu Hang's initial settings, two engines, one large and one small, that met his requirements were produced.

These two engines will be sent to the research institute and handed over to the technician who got off the Quintet to figure it out.

Anyway, there is no prospect of conquering the self-produced synthetic starch production line, and it is a bit difficult to get it out.There is no way, the industrial foundation and scientific research foundation under Gu Hang's command are all in shambles, even if it is a relatively basic technology from the perspective of the civilization of the entire empire, it is difficult to come up with it.

This also proves the value of the scientific and technological functions in the Gu Hang system.

To put it bluntly, if Gu Hang wants to pay taxes every two years in the future, whether the things given by the technology panel can be used well will be the key.

If Gu Hang had the ability to turn Fury Star into a small forging world, then there would be no need to worry about the lowest imperial tax.

Back to the moment.

Two of the finished products were made out of black boxes first, and more can be made when the research institute has a specific application plan.

The black box of the production line is not in a hurry to move first. Similarly, when the application plan can be implemented, it will start to produce engines at full capacity.

There is no need to worry about these.

……

Gu Hang placed high hopes on the person who wanted to figure out how to overcome the technical difficulties of synthetic starch, and who wanted to come up with an application plan for the 'whetstone' engine, scratching his head with his mechanical hand at the moment, thinking about his secret factory.

Wu Jiarong was really curious.

She comes from a foundry world, a tech specialist who once had the potential to be promoted to machinist.

But... the internal fighting situation of the Mechanicus is much more serious than what outsiders imagined. She lost the battle, not only failed to be promoted, but also all her property and knowledge became someone else's. Incidentally, she herself lost her personal freedom. It was paid as an imperial tax.

But since then, she can't count on the luck of the times, but at least the situation has not continued to be miserable.

Anyway, she is a technical specialist, not a slave laborer. When the Pegasus Fleet needed to be replenished, she was thrown into the Quintet, and she worked for ten years.

She had already accepted her fate.

After leaving the Forge World and the system of Mechanicus, she is unlikely to have any room for improvement.Even on the Quintet, she is not the only technical commissioner, and there are even several technical priests, but it is difficult for her to be accepted as a student, and she will strive for opportunities to develop again when she is taken away from the starship in the future.

Even after a long time, she still feels that there is nothing wrong with living like this now.

It's not too busy, so you don't need to intrigue, do your own thing well, and maintain the part of the starship structure that you are responsible for—especially the logistics system.There are still a group of slave laborers and junior commissioners under her management and deployment.

As for herself, she also has some spare time after work, which can be used to study things she is interested in, make some gadgets, and amuse herself quite a bit.

It's not a bad day, it seems.

And just when she had almost accepted her fate, a transfer order from Brigadier General Yelicia brought her, along with a few junior commissioners, to the surface with a synthetic starch production line and spare parts.

The good days are over.

She thought so.

Wu Jiarong found that she seemed unable to accept her fate.As long as you accept your fate, you will be slapped immediately, and then you will be slapped one level lower to see if you still recognize it.

Ten years ago, she failed to win the fight and gave up. When she planned to consider promotion next time, she was chased and killed, and became an imperial tax. It's good to have sex, and even plan to find a man to marry, and give birth to a baby before the body transformation has changed to the stomach, but was dispatched to the surface of Fu Xiaoxing.

Anyway, there will always be a lower limit.

But what can be done?

She can only bear the burden of hard work.

However, after coming to the surface, she found that... It seems that the situation is not as bad as she imagined?
She knew that Governor Gu almost started to develop this place from a very poor background.The industrial foundation and scientific research foundation are almost zero eggs.

But other than that, everything else turned out to be full of benefits!

She has no worries about food and clothing, and the food is even better than that on the starship; although she has received the order of the governor and is studying how to realize the synthetic starch technology with limited conditions, she does not need to eat synthetic starch herself.

According to the work point calculation made by the governor, her work points are quite high, and the ration quota and quality are good.

You can get the sun during the day and the night wind at night, which is not the case on the starship.

The more important point is that she has found her long-lost 'goal' again.

This thing sounds false, but when it comes to reality, it’s just one thing: knowing what’s the point of what you’re doing.

She saw that the refugees from Fuxing City in the camp were not full of food. To be honest, she didn't have much sympathy for this, but through her own research, it was not a bad thing to let them eat.At that time, she will be able to see people's smiling faces, she will be praised by the governor, and she will know that her work has really changed something.

It's not like being on a starship, day after day, year after year, but no clear work results can be seen.There seems to be no big difference between those artillery and those machines, whether they are maintained every day or at intervals.

Besides, the subject of synthetic starch given by the Governor is also very interesting.

It's challenging, but it seems to be within my ability.

She is motivated to do well.

In addition to such things as motivation and goals, she also found another thing that had disappeared for a long time:
curiosity.

She was so curious about what happened to the governor's secret factory.
