Honghuang, I am engaged in science and technology in the Wuzu

The siren of the “woo~” locomotive began to sound and began to start slowly, the internal combustion engine began to drive the generator, and the generated electrical energy began to provide strong power for the train.

“Knock knock!”

“Knock knock!”

“Knock knock!”

The locomotive began to accelerate, this time they were experimenting with locomotive performance, running on a circular track with a radius of 10 kilometers, and the scientists in Redstone needed to collect data through driving experiments and then prepare for the next mass production.

“Speed detection begins!”

“50 kilometers per hour, normal!”

“60 kilometers per hour, normal!”

“70 kilometers per hour, normal!”

“80 kilometers per hour, normal!”

“At 90 kilometers per hour, the locomotive began to be unstable!”

“Wheel pressure detection begins!”

……

The locomotive runs in circles, and a large group of engineers constantly collects data that will directly affect the final shape of the train.

Using steel as a track was naturally proposed by Fang Hao, however, the people of the tribe had other ideas, steel would rust, but if you let the cultivators refine the rails, it would not, and it would be more durable.

However, although the refining rails are good, the cost is too large, and the key is that they cannot be mass-produced, because of the huge area of the flood barrens, and the refining rails are a bit whimsical.

However, Redstone City finally decided to use the refined railroad tracks to build a railway, because the flood barren land is extremely vast, and the train speed must be fast, reaching tens of thousands of kilometers per hour to meet the transportation of millions of miles.

Therefore, this plan can not be completed in a day or two, it may take hundreds of years to build a flood traffic artery hundreds of thousands of kilometers long, which is a case of project failure, but even if the project fails, it must be built.

But there is also a possibility that with technological breakthroughs, a traffic artery can be built in very little time, and if so, the benefits generated are beyond imagination, and the area with a radius of millions of miles can be directly controlled, and the population will exceed 10 million.

The rails must have ultra-high hardness to adapt to the super high speed of the train, the resistance of the train moving on it is very small, and the wheels of the train are also made of iron, and when pushed up, it is very effortless to transport goods.

However, the railway also has the problem of load-bearing on the ground, and what speed the train travels, how much things it can carry, and how much energy it consumes need to be tested one by one.

If the train is loaded too much, it will press the rails to the ground, causing the train to overturn, so the bearing capacity of the ground must be solved, and the length of the rails must be considered.

The train is very heavy, you need to disperse this weight to the sleeper, and then disperse it to the track bed by the sleeper, and the force on the track bed is evenly dispersed to the roadbed, this force becomes much smaller, after such a transmission process, the contact area gradually increases, the pressure per unit area is correspondingly reduced, and the roadbed will not be crushed.

As we all know, electricity is the best energy source to control, so Redstone City uses the internal combustion engine to control the engine of electricity to design the locomotive, so that the train can install dozens of electric motors, which can reduce the loss of the rails, and the speed of the train can be controlled by controlling the voltage.

The energy consumption of the train is very large, in order to make it run fast and carry a large capacity, it is necessary to increase the voltage and power of the power supply system of the electric locomotive, so it is necessary to use high-voltage transmission lines and substation devices.

In order to increase the power of the train, Redstone City adopted an overhead contact conductor power supply system, that is, the electric locomotive wires were put into the roof air, as if a long braid was installed on the roof.

This kind of locomotive needs to carry its own power supply, the internal combustion engine pushes the generator, and then combines the power supply, the structure is more complicated, but the tribal engineers are talents with hundreds of years of work experience, naturally can overcome this difficulty.

Train technology will naturally not be simple, this time they will experiment with various types of engines, such as diesel locomotives, electric locomotives, large steam locomotives, etc., will be tested on this railway with a radius of ten kilometers.

In addition, it is necessary to test the train according to the transmission mode, divided into electric transmission, hydraulic transmission and mechanical transmission locomotive.

Electric transmission is also divided into DC electric drive, AC and DC electric drive locomotives.

Hydraulic transmission can be divided into ordinary hydraulic transmission, hydraulic mechanical transmission, hydraulic reversing hydraulic transmission.

In addition, it is necessary to test which width of rails is suitable for flood conditions, how many wheels and how many engines are designed to be suitable.

Outside Hongshi City, the experimental field at this moment is crowded, and many people are amazed to look at this fierce train, because of the special environment of the flood waste, its width is five times larger than the earth, and it can easily pull tens of thousands of items to run quickly.

Although the cultivators in the flood wilderness generally have tens of tons of strength, and some powerful immortal-level cultivators also have tens of tons of huge power, these forces are not lasting, and they belong to the situation of exerting ten minutes and resting for half a month, so strong transportation is still very necessary.

……

It was another meeting of the leaders of Redstone City to discuss the railway development plan, as more and more problems were exposed in the construction of the railway.

“With this train, we can transport the goods of Redstone City to the surrounding thousands of li, and if we develop a little longer, we can control everything in the area of hundreds of thousands of li, establish a stronger force, we will get more talents, and the development of Redstone City will be faster.” Fang Hao stood at the front and pointed to the traffic plan on the blackboard and said.

The railways above divide an area into small squares, and these railways are built underground, which will be safer, because there are still many powerful and unintelligent beasts on the ground, and they need to be prevented from destroying.

“Hundreds of thousands of miles in length, and you need to build the communication line underground, this is a big project, how much steel do we need to build such a railway?” The Ice Banshee asked.

“There is indeed a lot of steel needed, but it is inevitable, so the next time is to build a large number of steel plants, by the way, He, your mechanical research institute has prepared the relevant steel production equipment?” Fang Hao asked to the river next to him.

“The test has passed the acceptance, the design data has been compiled, and the next step is to produce steel equipment, but we are short of manpower and cannot find so many people who produce steel equipment.” He shook his head and said with a frown.

“How many people do you have in the production equipment?” Fang Hao asked.

“2598 people in total! And it includes researchers. He said helplessly.

“Too little, recently there is a big tribe of the Wu Clan that is preparing to migrate to Redstone City, can you dig up some people?” Fang Hao asked.

“Although there are many people from the Wu tribe, most of them come to play, and it may not be realistic to ask them to do hard work, but we can use puppets instead of labor, which can make them promote production efficiency.” At this time, Feng interjected and said.

Fang Hao frowned, he felt more and more that exploitation is the active force of social development, and the gap between the rich and the poor and exploitation can mobilize people’s enthusiasm.

But too much exploitation, or too much disparity between rich and poor, can lead to serious social injustice and tear people’s hearts apart.

“In the end, the puppet is a product of cultivation, and the manufacture is complicated, this amount is only a drop in the bucket, and there is no creativity, we still have to find a way to recruit people.” Fang Hao shook his head and said.

“Hard!” He said depressedly.

“Once the railway is successful, hundreds of millions of tons of metal may be required for future construction, so you have a good opportunity to upgrade the technical level of the metal smelting industry this time.”

“Resources will be heavily invested in the metallurgical industry, and you can randomly combine the multiple metal elements you find to develop stronger alloys, and this is a good opportunity.” Fang Hao said again.

“You’re talking about exhaustive research on alloys? I tried it before, but it took too many resources and not enough manpower, and then I had to give up. He shook his head and said.

“Take your time, this is not something that can be completed overnight, you can seize this opportunity to recruit a large number of people, and the resources of Redstone City will be tilted towards you.” Fang Hao finally said.

He considered focusing on this ambitious research program after the maturity of network technology.

The exhaustive method is the only way to develop modern material science and technology, the principle is very simple, such as there are two metals, synthesized with different material ratios, and then test the performance of the finished product, and study all the possible proportions, this is the exhaustive method.

For example, the study of the formula of the ratio of two elements by one hundredth.

If these two elements are copper and iron, the first data is that iron accounts for 1%, copper accounts for 99%, and then the material is put into a high-heat environment into metal vapor, and then the steam is fully mixed, and then cooled, you can get a copper-iron alloy with copper accounting for 1%.

Next, the alloy is tested by professionals, its various parameters are obtained, and then collected to make a data sheet sealed, if you need to view this data sheet later.

Next, a study of 2% copper is carried out, and so on, until copper accounts for 99%, a total of 99 data tables can be obtained.

Further, 999 data sheets can be obtained for experimental thousandths formulas, 9999 data tables for 10,000 parts-by-10,000 formulas, and 99999 data tables for 100,000 allotters.

These are only two elements, if it is three, four, five, the investment and manpower required are more exaggerated, and the amount of accumulated data is more terrifying.

In so much data, if you find a valuable formula, you can promote science and technology to a higher level, such as superconductor materials, lithium battery materials, which is enough to make the world’s scientific and technological level a big step forward.

If others do not know this formula, only buy it at a high price, if you do not sell, others will only dry stare, such as the high-end blade of CNC machines, a piece of hundreds of thousands of millions do not bargain, sometimes you can’t buy it.

If you don’t study it down-to-earth, you won’t be able to eat it even if you get the recipe by various means.

Various material treatment processes, the influence of media, temperature, time and other factors on material properties, the toughness, strength, hardness, wear resistance, fatigue strength and other performance indicators of materials, these require professional research.

The knowledge in this can be described as unfathomable, and it is the accumulation of data and laws in the process of research.

This is also the reason why American materials science is unique in the world on the earth, because the resources required for materials research, the funds needed, and the manpower required are very exaggerated.

Ten billion funds invested in material research blisters can not rise, 10 billion is not too little, 10,000 billion is not too much, to ensure that you will spend a penny in a short time.

Therefore, material research is a costly job, often tens of billions invested in water can not be spent, if there is no special luck, it is impossible to give researchers a high return, can be described as thankless.

Materials research requires down-to-earth work, a style of hard exploration, and no shortcut can be taken.

It is not GDP that judges the real level of strength of countries, not how strong weapons and equipment are, how many cutting-edge technologies there are, but an essential question, how far your material science has come.

To give a very ordinary example, why can’t the high-end lithography machine be built by the Celestial Empire? And such a big country was suppressed, and there was nothing to do if it lost face?

The reason is the lack of suitable materials, the materials are not good, the shell can be made, but those core materials can be made casually? Of course, it can’t be made.

American companies have mastered one of the most critical core components of lithography machines – high-end laser light source, which is a material found in hundreds of years of material research, and directly grasps the lifeblood of semiconductors.

Because the light source is not good enough, Japan’s lithography machine industry has been completely failed, even if Japan’s lens technology and machining technology are at the peak.
