"Great, as long as there is oil, all kinds of machinery equipped with internal combustion engines can be moved, and Xia Guan heard Lu Tong say that there is also a thing called asphalt from oil, and with this thing, you can build a smoother road, right?"

Lin Wentao danced excitedly, for him, oil has always been a hurdle in his heart, and now Xiao Ming's words finally let him see hope.

Xiao Ming had a faint smile on his face, there is no doubt that the oil industry is an important threshold for a country to move towards a modern chemical industry.

It was only after the establishment of the petroleum industry that the internal combustion engine showed its true value, and then the machinery of various functions further contributed to the development of the industry.

"To solve the problem of oil, the most important thing for you now is to apply the internal combustion engine to all kinds of machinery, such as all kinds of construction machinery, road rollers, cranes, excavators." Xiao Ming said seriously.

In fact, in modern history, the steam excavator was invented by the Americans in 1836, but the steam-powered excavator was too inefficient.

Therefore, Xiao Ming directly does not waste time on the steam machinery, and directly lets the excavator on the internal combustion engine, so that such an excavator can play its real role in large-scale projects.

After a pause, he continued: "In addition to such small manned vehicles, you should also work large transport vehicles and strive to improve the level of domestic transportation as soon as possible." “

"Yes, Your Majesty, the lower officials remember." Lin Wentao said that although the application of the internal combustion engine has been successful, his task is still very heavy, and he cannot relax now.

Emphasizing the task of the machinery factory, Xiao Ming rubbed his hands, and he said, "Since this car can run normally, it is better to let me try it today." ”

"Your Majesty, this is no problem, Xia Guan has driven this car many times, and there is absolutely no problem with safety." Lin Wentao patted his chest and said.

Qian Dafu was a little worried when he heard this, "Your Majesty, don't take this kind of risky move, sixty kilometers at this speed is not low, if you can't control the vehicle, it will be very dangerous, after all, the situation is special now......"

Xiao Ming's eyes were gloomy, he understood what Qian Dafu meant, he scared him half to death when he took mortar shells in the military factory last time.

After the queen mother and queen knew about this matter, Qian Dafu was reprimanded, so now Qian Dafu is cautious everywhere.

Because according to the current situation, once Xiao Ming has any accidents, I am afraid that the empire will soon fall apart.

Looking at the classic car in front of him, Xiao Ming sighed slightly, and he said, "That's it, just let the technicians perform." “

Lin Wentao also came back to his senses, and now there are a lot of rumors in Qingzhou, and he has heard some of them.

Calling a driver, he said, "Drive the car out and put on a show for the emperor." ”

In response, the technician entered the car, twisted the key and started the car, while Lin Wentao explained on the side: "Your Majesty, this car uses electric spark ignition, as long as the key is gently turned, the car can be started." “

Xiao Ming nodded, in the nineteenth century, the way of electric spark was not unusual, since the popularization of electricity in Qingzhou, the method of using electricity has also been developed, and now the scientific researchers in Qingzhou are mixing all kinds of technologies together, such as the next generation of ironclad ships will have radios for mutual communication.

When everyone arrived at the door, the technician steered the car on the road outside the machine, and in a short time the car ran around the machine factory.

Xiao Ming nodded frequently when he saw this, the speed of sixty kilometers per hour can be said to be a turtle speed compared to modern times, but this eighteenth-century empire can be described as earth-shattering.

If this classic car were to be officially sold, the Empire's transportation would undergo a historic change.

"Your Majesty, the technicians of the machinery factory discussed naming this first car Chitu, I wonder if the emperor is satisfied?"

"Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses, there is nothing wrong with it, since this is the case, continue this red rabbit as a brand." There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Xiao Ming's mouth.

From then on, the Chinese Empire will have the world's first car brand, and this car brand will also be destined to become famous all over the world.

"Kaz!"

When the two were chatting, the Chitu car stopped steadily in front of the two, and its excellent performance was fully revealed.

"Is the emperor still satisfied?" Lin Wentao is full of confidence.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, and he said, "I have now officially ordered three hundred Chitu brand cars from the Machinery Factory. ”

Lin Wentao smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, although the machinery factory belonged to the government, but the orders of the imperial court still had to be paid.

So, it equates to them getting a big order, and with that money, they're able to do more.

After watching the first car of the empire, Xiao Ming and Qian Dafu left the machinery factory under the protection of the guards, and when they returned to the palace, he immediately called Cui Shangan and asked him to supervise the war in Nanyang.

Now that the empire has only enough oil to collect for experiments, and his three hundred cars must rely on oil from overseas if they want to run, it is crucial to open up the routes to Persia and Ottomans, and he does not want to wait too long on this issue......

Bull City.

After a day and a night of sailing, the Qingzhou fleet arrived at this small Dutch city on the coast, loaded with angry soldiers of the Southeastern Army.

Compared to the grandeur of Jakarta, the city of Boer is inconspicuous, but it is a trading node for Dutch-controlled spices in Indonesia, so there are many Dutch merchant ships coming and going here, but because of the war, it has lost its former prosperity and seems lonely.

"According to the information provided by the Nanyang Chinese, there are 300 Dutch soldiers stationed here, and it is easy to take this place." Yue Yun said to Lei Ming.

Nodding, Lei Ming said, "Even if I have three thousand stationed there, I have to take them down and wait for the group of bastards in Argda to arrive." ”

With that, he shouted, "Land, take the city of Boer." ”

As soon as his words fell, two thousand soldiers rowed to the shore in troop carriers, which now had machine gunners in front of each troop carrier in front of them, mercilessly strafing the enemy if they spotted him.

As with the information provided by Yue Yun, as the Imperial soldiers approached the coast, some sporadic gunfire rang out, and the Imperial soldiers immediately returned fire with machine guns.

Under the ferocious fire, the Dutch soldiers hiding behind the obstacles on the dock could not resist at all, and it took only half an hour for the Empire to occupy the small city.

"Yue Yun, let's leave here for the time being, and when you have swept away the enemy warships on the route, we will go to Calcutta together." Lei Ming said that his early mission was to capture Jakarta and cut off the supply points of the European coalition forces in Asia.

Yue Yun was just cooperating with him, and Yue Yun's real task was to cut off the sea transportation lines of the European coalition forces and isolate the European coalition forces in Calcutta.
