It seemed to be responding to Li Tianyang's words, and when his words just fell, the object named the steam engine suddenly erupted a large amount of steam again, spraying the entire machine and its surroundings into a snow-white patch.

The sudden appearance of the steam engine was unexpected by Li Tianyang, he never thought that this thing would eventually land on the land of China first because of his own crossing.

I vaguely remember that the country where the steam engine was invented should be the United Kingdom, which is far away on an isolated island in Europe, and the time when it was invented should be a hundred years later than the steam engine developed by the Hongmen Bengang R&D Institute!

However, soon Li Tianyang took back his distracted expression, and then pulled Cheng Caizi to interrogate him carefully, from the working principle of this steam engine, the production process to its performance and service life, etc., it was a very detailed question.

The only thing Li Tianyang remembers quite clearly is that the opportunity of the first industrial revolution was when the time-saving and labor-saving steam engine was invented.

With the steam engine, a lot of manpower will be liberated from clumsy labor, weaving, spinning cotton, making standard tools, pulling carts to transport goods, etc., which can all be done by this unattractive big guy.

But Li Tianyang seemed to be happy a little earlier, just as he pulled the gap of Chengcai's inquiry, suddenly after the steam engine clanged loudly, a large amount of water vapor surged out from the vent hole on the top, and then the gears and transmission shafts that were originally running steadily also gradually slowed down until they came to a standstill.

"Damn, this guy is striking again!" Chengcai raised his head in embarrassment, and while glaring at the big guy in front of him who was two or three taller than himself, he replied with frustration: "This guy is still in the experimental stage, and there will be all kinds of mistakes at every turn, but generally speaking, it is no problem to let it continue to run like this for an hour or two!" ”

"Oh!" There were two more points of disappointment in Li Tianyang's eyes, but then he was relieved.

It's right to think about it, if such a precision mechanical product can really reach the point of a mature industrial product as soon as it comes up, it is really a fantasy.

"And how long can you be sure how long it will last for a day, a day, or even longer?" Li Tianyang asked thoughtfully.

"Well, if we have enough financial and raw material support, with the experience we have accumulated now, we should be able to come up with a steam engine that can continue to operate in less than three or five months!" Chengcai thought that Li Tianyang would not be interested in this project because of the sudden failure of this machine, but Cheng thought that Li Tianyang still looked like he was moving at this time, he still didn't understand the joints, and hurriedly made a guarantee.

If it is according to Chengcai's character of striving for perfection, it is actually impossible for him to take out the steam engine in this experimental stage at this time for Li Tianyang to check, but who made this big guy really spend too much money, and most of the funds of the R&D Institute in the past two years have been invested in this.

In order to get some funds from Li Tianyang to continue the research, Chengcai had to expose this immature guy in advance in order to win Li Tianyang's interest.

"Okay, no problem!" Li Tianyang likes it more and more at this time, his brother-in-law has never sought something for himself because of their relationship with each other, and he has never relied on his status to do anything wrong, but Li Tianyang himself and his Hongmen team have enjoyed many novelty things that have been researched by Chengcai over the years.

"Great, brother-in-law, this is really a solution to our urgent need!" The intention was achieved, and Chengcai took Li Tianyang's hand on the spot and thanked him repeatedly.

Originally, it was only scheduled for a two-day inspection trip, but because of the appearance of this steam engine, it was postponed by Li Tianyang, and he stayed in Bengang R&D Institute for about a week before leaving.

The steam engine that suddenly appeared in front of Li Tianyang in this era made Li Tianyang very excited, he knew the value of this steam engine very well, and at the same time he also understood the difficulty of developing it.

But he never imagined that his brother-in-law would hide himself behind his back, dozens of hundreds of years earlier than the Europeans, and put this product that Li Tianyang thought might not be able to appear in his lifetime in front of him.

It is true that the steam engine of Chengcai still seems to be very rough now, just its huge volume of two or three zhang from front to back, and its weight of tens of thousands of catties, make its use limited.

Not to mention that because of the steam valve and other precision structural components, due to various conditions of this era, it cannot be completely closed, and its utilization of water vapor can not even reach one-tenth of the release of coal-fired energy, which makes its horsepower far less powerful than that of later generations.

However, Li Tianyang is still convinced that as time goes by, as more and more researchers in his Hongmen team participate, it will be just around the corner to achieve the same power, volume and weight as the steam engine of later generations.

In fact, it was Chengcai himself who was smart but was mistaken by being smart, he only thought that Li Tianyang had always been disgusted with his messy research and development, so when he formed this steam engine research and development team, he was afraid that Li Tianyang would say that he was consuming resources indiscriminately, so he hid it from Li Tianyang.

For a long time, Chengcai and their research and development of steam engines have quietly embezzled funds and resources from other R&D plans, so their R&D has not been completely efficient.

But if he knew that as long as he reported the research and development plan of this steam engine to Li Tianyang, I am afraid that Li Tianyang would completely open the resources of the entire Hongmen to Chengcai and let them build it, and perhaps the research and development progress of this steam engine would be much faster than now.

But it's not too late, Li Tianyang returned to Jilong Town, and first sent a large amount of steel resources, 30,000 silver dollars to the Jumping Girl R&D Institute, and at the same time there were more than 50 newly graduated students from the Bengang Academy with flexible minds.

After receiving the strong support of Li Tianyang's side, Chengcai's side made great efforts to build a steam engine that already had a molding product for a new round of improvement and research.

Before Li Tianyang left, he made several suggestions for Chengcai to protect customers about the steam engine, and also made Chengcai adjust some of their previous research directions, no longer only pursuing the high horsepower of the steam engine, but also began to take into account the volume, weight and so on of the steam engine.

Every other week, Li Tianyang can receive a research report from the R&D Institute, and with the assistance of his focus and strong resources, the research and development of the steam engine is rapidly moving towards the direction of the finished product!
