Chapter 880 This is very steampunk

"Okay, now we just need you from the Power Research Institute. Didn't you say you prepared gifts? Take out your gifts too?" Luo Chong said with a smile while looking at the people from the Power Research Institute.

The general manager of the Power Research Institute is a guy named Lin Fei. This guy seems to be married into the Dashu family. The Shu tribe had only about 30 people in the early days, and the scale was very small. In the later Han tribe that gradually grew, the clan power was not at all. In order to expand its own scale, Dashu arranged for many sons-in-law to come out.

Those who are talented but have no status, when they meet the Shu tribe, the first veteran family to join the Han tribe, they will of course flock to it.

One is talented but has no status, and the other has status, but the family has few talents and a small population. The two sides hit it off, and Lin Fei married into the Lin clan, which is the first Shu tribe brought back by Luo Chong himself. His surname was also changed to the same surname as Dashu and his family, and now they all have the surname Lin.

Lin Fei had learned carpentry from Mu Tong and his team earlier, and had accumulated a lot of experience in making mechanical equipment. Now he is 25 years old and a senior craftsman. Later, when Luo Chong established a comprehensive research institute, this guy worked in the mechanical group of the institute. When the coin stamping equipment was made, Lin Fei participated.

Later, when the research institute was divided into groups and the Power Research Institute was separated to work alone, Lin Fei once again became the head of the Power Research Institute and was jokingly called the director of the Second Institute. The

First Institute was the earliest comprehensive research institute. Luo Chong wanted to establish the third institute with the birth of the microscope, that is, the third institute focusing on biotechnology, but he has not yet decided on the development direction of the biological research institute, so he did not mention it for the time being, but only asked Ao Fei's optical group to continue to improve the microscope.

Although the mechanical group of the previous institute took the lead in offering treasures and surprised them, Lin Fei said that he was not empty. The results of their Power Research Institute were not worse than those of the guys in the first institute, and their results were more valuable.

"Chief, we have completed the small-scale model experiment of the first generation of the 'Endeavor' mining rail steam locomotive. This New Year's gift to the chief is this set of model cars. Today is also a good time for the chief to check it. If there is no problem, we will prepare to manufacture a normal-scale test car. If there is no problem at that time, we can start mass production." Lin Fei immediately stood up and said when he heard Luo Chong asking about their gifts.

"Oh? Have you made a model?"

Luo Chong immediately became interested. Steam locomotives, he had been working on it with this group of people for a long time. After such a long time, he finally made a model car.

Well, it's not bad to have a model, it's better than nothing.

"To reply to the chief, it is, and it is a real steam locomotive. It can run. It is not a dead object like a ship model. It is a miniature version of a real car. Otherwise, it will lose its experimental value." Lin Fei continued to answer.

"Well, not bad, then bring it over and show it to us?" Luo Chong's interest was aroused. Of course, he wanted to see the results of these people with his own eyes.

"Well,"

Lin Fei looked around at the people around him and the large yard of Luo Chong's house, and he hesitated before speaking.

"Chief, the model we made is a bit large, and if we want to demonstrate it, we must lay the track. Look, where are we demonstrating it? Can we lay the track directly in the yard? Will it get in the way?"

Luo Chong was also stunned when he heard this, and then he thought of this question. Could it be that they made a large-scale model?

Luo Chong asked curiously, "How big is your model car, how wide and long is the track, how to lay it, and how long will it take if you lay it now?"

Hearing Luo Chong's question, Lin Fei immediately introduced it like a treasure. You know, this model car is the hard work of their Power Research Institute. Basically, everyone in the Second Research Institute is familiar with it, and they are even more familiar with the various parameters and performance of this car than their own wives.

"Chief, the outer gauge of our model car is 25 centimeters, the maximum width of the car body is 32 centimeters, the height is 43 centimeters, and the length is 85 centimeters. It uses a miniature calcium carbide gas boiler for heating. It can carry ten carriages, each of which can accommodate an adult.

The outer gauge of the track is 25 centimeters, and the width of the sleepers is 40 centimeters. It is a semi-finished model track that we made in advance. One section is five meters long and can be directly spliced ​​on site. The speed is very fast. If it is laid in the yard, it can be done in about half an hour. "

Each carriage can carry an adult?!

???????

Luo Chong said that he had a lot of question marks in his head. He asked directly, puzzled, "Didn't you say that this is a model car? Such a small model car, how can people sit on it, and there are ten carriages mounted on it. Ten adults are calculated as 100 kilograms each, and the total weight is more than a thousand kilograms, right? Can your model car tow thousands of kilograms of weight? Are you sure you are not kidding?"

Lin Fei immediately said proudly, "Of course I'm not kidding. I just told the leader that although this is a miniature model, what we made here is indeed a real train, a train that can run and pull people. It was made for experiments. If we can't even pull more than a thousand kilograms, doesn't that prove that we are a failure? "

Then you said such a small model can accommodate an adult, how does one sit on it?" Luo Chong asked again.

Lin Fei immediately took a step sideways, then squatted down, posed as if he was taking a shit and said, "Ride on the carriage."

(⊙⊙)

Holy crap!

Riding on the carriage of a toy train?!

OK, OK, this is very steampunk.

"Okay then, let me show you. My yard is now in your hands. You decide how to arrange the track. Try not to block the road and try not to damage the existing facilities. As for the rest, you decide on the arrangements. It's better to make it longer. Since this car can run, it would be boring if it was too short. We can't just keep going around in circles. "Luo Chong nodded and agreed. He also wanted to see how powerful the train models made by these people were.

Lin Fei also immediately said, "No problem, please wait a moment, Chief. I will have people start installing it. By the way, Chief, can you ask the kitchen to boil some water first, so that when we demonstrate later, we can directly add boiling water to the locomotive and quickly generate steam. Otherwise, it will take a lot of time to boil water with the boiler on the locomotive."

"Okay, no problem at all. It's just boiling water. We have as much as you want. Don't worry. Let's install the track quickly. "Luo Chong nodded, then winked at Xiaodie, who immediately understood, and then told the maid to go to the kitchen to boil water.

On the other side, Lin Fei also went out, and soon he pulled two four-wheeled carriages over. One of the carriages was full of boxes and tools. One of the more solid and tight wooden boxes contained the front of the carriage, and the other simple boxes were filled with carriages.

The carriage at the back was full of semi-finished tracks, which looked like ladders. The rails and sleepers had been connected together to form a ladder. Now, as long as these ladders were put together one by one, they could be connected into a long track.

Five more chapters are finished. About 13,000 chapters were updated today, and the chapter the day before yesterday was also added.

Please reward!
