The forty-eighth chapter digging a corner (2)

Chapter 48 Poaching the Corner (2)

In the era of the Industrial Revolution, there were only three initial purposes for inventors: one was interest and hobbies, which were the driving force of all inventions, two was for fame and fortune, and three, that was the so-called noble ideal for benefiting mankind after sublimation. However, these three were always a bit fake. Who could guarantee that Watt made a steam engine to benefit mankind? A child from a working family could not even eat, and the invention was purely due to personal interest. Just like Edison even delayed the wedding in order to do an experiment, he put the bride's pigeons directly.

Hoffman couldn't handle those inventors because he didn't master their psychology. For these people, the technological difficulties were the most attractive before they were overcome. Their attractiveness was no less than that of perverts facing the horses who had not obtained, the money fans faced the money they had not earned, the online games faced the best equipment, and the women faced the beautiful clothes.

The beauty can't even take money, but Yang Yiyi wrote a letter. That's because Yang Yi took advantage of the prophet. Of course, Yang Yi from the future may not have much attainment in technology in various fields. However, Yang Yi had the most advanced concepts and ideas at that time. For example, whether Otto was playing with an internal combustion engine or a gas burner, Yang Yi mentioned the combustion chamber, bearing, and four-stroke to him in the letter. In short, it was related to Otto's research. It can even be said that he was helping Otto broaden his horizons and let Otto see hope and light in front of him when he was confused. Why didn't Otto excited, and also provide the funds and equipment for experiments? But he asked for sharing the patent after invention. In terms of these programmatic opinions put forward by Yang Yi, Otto returned to let Yang Yi share the patent, let alone provide all the conveniences. For Otto, as long as he could conduct invention experiments and get guidance from experts, what was wrong?

Similarly, Yang Yi's method of using Otto is also effective on other people. Since the most effective solution has been found, the next day is that Sir Hoffman will need to travel around European countries constantly, according to Yang Yi's original words: "Even if you break your legs, you have to deal with these people."

"Mr. Delham? I'm Sir Hoffman, I'm sorry, I'm here to visit." Hoffman began to aim at the next prey again.

"You're welcome, is there anything you have? I'm very busy now, and I can only give you ten minutes." The time of a scientist is precious. Although Dalem is not very famous now, his strict concept of time has already shown that he has the premise of being famous. Dalem is not interested in celebrities like Hoffman. The reason is very simple. Hoffman should have no connection with internal combustion engines, so Dalem's tone is not so polite. He wants to close the door and let the dog drive away when he has nothing serious.

"That's right. I have a letter from China. If you are interested, we will talk about it." This time, Hoffman learned his lesson and took out Yang Yi's letter directly, so as not to waste a lot of saliva, which may not be effective.

Dalem first took the letter in confusion, and wondered, "I have no relatives and friends in China?" Why did he have the intention to come? No matter how suspicious he is, he still has to read the letter."

At first, Dalem was still watching with casual people, but as he looked, he began to be serious, and while reading, he was thinking, ten minutes passed early. Yang Yi's letter made people look simple. It was nothing more than mentioning that after the Frenchman Lunova invented the ignition duct, gas internal combustion engines were widely used in the industry. However, gas used as internal combustion engine fuel has an inevitable danger. Gas is an explosive substance, and used as fuel is equivalent to holding an irregular bomb in the arms. No one knows when something happened. The development of internal combustion engines has become an irreplaceable trend. Is there any way to solve this contradiction? That is to use new fuel, what is the new fuel? Yang Yi from the future gave the answer without thinking, diesel and

Gasoline. As for the working principle of diesel engines and gasoline engines, it is even simpler. One is compression ignition and the other is ignition. These are common sense things now, but in 1862, these common sense were all scientific problems at that time. Dalem knew the disadvantages of gas internal combustion engines. How to solve them was a problem that has always troubled him. Yang Yi's letter was equivalent to opening a window to Dalem who was trapped in a sealed room on all sides. Of course, Yang Yi also mentioned some design concepts in the letter, which are actually not considered concepts. As an excellent agent, driving skills absolutely require first-class, and the work of repairing engines is also proficient in the work of repairing the engine. If Yang Yi really wants to take the title of a repairman, he will probably not be able to get a level eight.

Yang Yi also mentioned some key issues, such as how to solve the pressure problem? High-pressure oil pumps, high-pressure oil pipelines, fuel injectors, oil tanks, pistons, connecting rods, etc.

"I hope to see the gentleman who wrote this letter immediately. There is another question? Is the gentleman who wrote this letter really from China?" Dalem asked Hoffman in a tone of doubt and uncertainty.

"Haha, Mr. Delham, look at this time?" Hoffman took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and then looked at the gate. It meant that ten minutes had passed, should I leave too?

Only then did Dalem remember what he started to say. Seeing that Hoffman was leaving, Dalem was anxious. How could this work? Hoffman actually wanted to flash his head at a critical moment. Isn’t this intention to lose Dalem’s appetite? If Hoffman really lets him leave, I guess Dalem should not do anything today, and I guess he should not sleep at night.

"Sorry, Sir Hoffman, I apologize for my impoliteness just now. Now I sincerely hope that you stay and we can have a good talk." This time, there was no more suspiciousness in Dalem's tone. It can be seen that Dalem is an upright and honest person, and his mistakes can be corrected in a timely manner.

Seeing Delham's serious expression, Hoffmann never dared to put on airs when he saw that his goal had been achieved. In Yang Yi's eyes, these people were all treasures. Yang Yi was going to China at all costs. If they really got them out of trouble, Yang Yi would have no way to explain.

"Since that's the case, let's continue talking." Hoffman smiled, but what he thought about was that when he left the Dalem family, Hoffman left with a satisfied smile. Although it seemed a bit unkind to mention Yang Yi's dig in the corner of his country, he didn't have to consider these things now. It's important to complete the tasks assigned by the boss first. In this way, another prey fell like Yang Yi's claws.

In Prussia, Hoffmann reached out to Diesel, the inventor of the diesel engine. The old method was to let him read the letter first, and then talk, but he was still very easy. Then Hoffmann ran non-stop to European countries, Belgian chemist Solvey, French chemist Baiterro, etc. Of course, Mr. Nobel didn't have to come. Yang had made the yellow explosives a thing of the morning, and the formulas were ready-made. Just kidding, when it comes to playing with explosives, who can compare with Yang Yi in this era? In short, under the tactics that Yang Yi put his favor, these historical inventors were hit one after another, all of whom believed that China had a great physicist, chemist, or other family, and never thought that this person knew only some simple fur and principles. However, in their opinion, these fur and principles may be the source of an invention that shocked the world.

Of course, Yang Yi asked them to come to China, not necessarily because he could not make these inventions. It was just that the first thing was not easy to take advantage of the ancients. Secondly, these people were better in China than in Europe. Yang Yi was not a superman. The arrival of these people could improve China's scientific and technological level by a lot, and also cultivate China's own talents for China. These are all later stories.

For the development of China, Yang Yi needed talents from all aspects, such as machinery, textiles, metallurgy, chemicals, etc., and Hoffman was invincible wherever he went, and succeeded repeatedly. At this time, Hoffman's admiration for Yang Yi had reached an extreme level, which could be said to be a kind of worship.

Since the telegraph lines have been paved throughout the major cities in China and connected to Europe through Russia, the connection between Yang Yi and Hoffmann has become very convenient. Hoffmann keeps sending good news back to China. After Yang Yi has been constantly getting good news, he also began to prepare to prepare necessary places and equipment for the arrival of these scientists.

The signboard of the "China National Science and Technology Center" was soon hung up, and its headquarters was in Shanghai. Yang Yi had his considerations: First, there are already Hua Hengfang and Xu Shou in Shanghai, and second, it is closely related to Yang Yiyi's national development strategy.

There are no people alone, they also have equipment and raw materials. Yang Yi sent a telegram to photograph Europe, and Hoffman started to purchase frantically. He asked Yang Yi to take out a large amount of cash to introduce these, of course Yang Yi felt sorry, but there were suckers who paid the bill. Britain and France were also sad about the compensation. How could it not be sad if they took out the money like this? Hoffman was quickly confirmed as the General Procurement Office of the Chinese government in Europe, and the news of his appointment was quickly issued. Hoffman, who held the gold medal, was praised as soon as he arrived in Britain and France.

As a guest of honor, Hoffmann was not polite, walking sideways. It can be said that China urgently needed a large number of machine equipment and raw materials, and most of these things were not able to be produced by China themselves, such as textile and mining machinery, chemical raw materials and production equipment, metallurgical machinery, etc. Although the peace agreement signed by China and Britain and France stated that some of the compensation could be compensated in kind, both countries thought it would be best to use things to compensate? As long as the Chinese government's purchase order is taken, the compensation would be recovered in the next few years.

As the saying goes, it is not a business to do it. If you don’t make good use of this performance between Britain and France, I’m sorry to the audience. Of course, Yang Yi wouldn’t just be so cheap. Since the British don’t want to pay for money, they are thinking about the Chinese market, let alone the French. Faced with the aggressive military threat of Prussia, the French were like a thorn in their backs. The arms race between the two countries was in full swing, and the French were also short of money.

It was said that if you don’t kill the price at this time, when will you kill the price? Hoffmann, who received the order, would certainly not be ruthless. Britain and France are not good men and women, and their suppression of Prussia has never stopped. Now, it is a bit of a waste of time to deal with these two companies. Although it is a bit of a slight conspiracy. After some bargaining, and the two former allies of Britain and France were secretly fighting for their respective interests, Hoffmann took the opportunity to make a big profit and kill the price low. Considering the amount of money, there was still some room for profit. Considering the huge Chinese market, Britain and France had to lose their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, basically accepting the price offered by Yang Yi. Yang Yi did not do anything, and left some profit space for the two mistakes. No one was willing to do the losing business.

The Mercedes-Benz train sent Zeng Guofan and the others to Europe, experiencing the speed brought by the train and seeing the huge power of the train. Zeng Guofan, who has always been quite visionary, also deeply understood Yang Yishen. The first stop of the envoy was of course Prussia. As one of the few European countries that are friendly to China, Prussia is of course the primary target of visit.

When the British and French coalition invaded China, it can be said that only Prussia in Europe would think that China would win. The reason is very simple. The military power of a country where weapons such as mortars and Maxim machine guns can be imagined. The friendship between the two has also gradually developed from the beginning of reselling arms to mutual cooperative development. For example, the armored warship is one of the cooperative projects. Of course, this idea was proposed by Yang Yi, but China had no conditions, so it had to put this project in Prussia. Of course, Yang Yi sent many international students to participate in this plan.
