Chapter 390

Diesel quickly adapted to his new life in Spain. On the second day after meeting Gao Da, Diesel went to the engine laboratory area that had already been designated in the suburbs of Ma Deli to design his own engine laboratory according to the size of the entire area.

Compared with before, the site Gao Da arranged for him was obviously much larger. This point alone already made Diesel quite satisfied, not to mention the check with a face value of up to 1 million Bisaita that Gao Da gave him.

When Gao Da gave this check to Diesel, he specifically instructed him. As long as it is an expense related to laboratory construction and experiments, no matter how much money is spent, the final expenditure is Gao Da's responsibility.

This point alone already showed Gao Da's trust in Diesel, which also made Diesel's slight dissatisfaction with Gao Da completely disappear.

Currently, the only thing Diesel thinks about is to establish the laboratory as soon as possible and then continue to invest in his own diesel engine research.

The intelligence personnel of the Royal Security Intelligence Bureau acted quite quickly. In just a few days, most of the equipment and materials of Diesel's original engine laboratory were transported to Spain and placed in Diesel's engine laboratory.

Diesel also took time to go to various universities in Ma Deli University City to select some mechanical graduate students who looked like they had decent theoretical knowledge to enter his engine laboratory to work.

Just like this, in just over a week, Diesel's engine laboratory was rebuilt and completed.

After this, Diesel invested in quite intense work. Gao Da came once after the laboratory was built, and after seeing that Diesel had already started research on the diesel engine, he never paid attention to the news of the engine laboratory again.

Gao Da still trusted Diesel's research ability quite a bit.

According to what Diesel said, the relatively perfect diesel engine he is researching has hope of being manufactured within three months and conducting further experiments.

Gao Da is still quite looking forward to this. The diesel engine is not only related to Spain's research on tanks but also related to the power source for submarines.

Currently, Spain still uses gasoline engines similar to cars for submarines, and the power is obviously not enough.

After Diesel develops a powerful diesel engine, Spain's submarines can also be refitted with more powerful diesel engines.

In this way, at least in terms of surface speed, Spain's submarines can be upgraded to another level.

Just like this, about three months passed. When Gao Da almost forgot about Diesel's engine laboratory, Diesel personally went to the Wang Gong in Ma Deli to report to Gao Da that the first relatively perfect diesel engine had been manufactured and could be tested at any time.

Gao Da did not expect that Diesel could really manufacture a relatively perfect diesel engine within three months; Gao Da was naturally also very interested in this engine known as relatively perfect.

When the group of people arrived at Diesel's engine laboratory, the laboratory personnel were already preparing for the related experiments.

In order to more clearly reflect the difference between gasoline engines and diesel engines, this experiment, in addition to this manufactured diesel engine, will also have two gasoline engines and one steam engine participating in the experiment together.

Because the problem of high temperature occurred during the previous experiment, Diesel decided to add a way of water cooling to the diesel engine to reduce the temperature.

Facts have proved that this cooling method is indeed very effective. The moment Diesel personally ignited the engine, the whole machine immediately erupted with a deafening roar.

With the operation of the diesel engine, the experimental personnel were also constantly recording the related data. About half an hour passed, and Diesel personally handed a report of experimental data to Gao Da, introducing it to Gao Da with slight excitement: "

Your Majesty the Emperor, we have successfully developed a stable and reliable diesel engine. The power of this engine has reached 14 watts, far exceeding the current steam engines and gasoline engines.

Under the premise of possessing high power, this engine only needs to use inferior fuel, and the fuel consumption rate is much lower than that of gasoline engines.

I dare to guarantee that this will be an invention that changes the world, and the diesel engine will show a more powerful role than the gasoline engine," Diesel said with a face full of excitement, introducing the data related to the experiment to Gao Da one by one.

Gao Da nodded and said to Diesel with a smile: "Well done, Mr. Diesel. If you encounter any difficulties in subsequent research, you can go to the Wang Gong to report. I look forward to you being able to conduct deeper exploration in the field of diesel engines and develop one powerful engine after another for Spain.

Since the diesel engine has already been developed, then I will naturally not break my promise. This is a related plan for the merger of the engine laboratory of the Royal Benz Automobile Company and your engine laboratory; you can take a look at it now."

Gao Da smiled and signaled the butler Luo Lun to hand over a plan for the merger of the two engine laboratories.

Diesel took this plan and looked at it with some curiosity.

After the merger of Diesel's engine laboratory and the engine laboratory of the Royal Benz Automobile Company, it will have a more formal name, which is the Spanish National Power Laboratory.

The National Power Laboratory will mainly research power systems based on internal combustion engines, providing power sources for cars, tanks, airplanes, submarines, tractors, and a series of other mechanical products.

This includes both civilian products based on agricultural machinery and vehicles, as well as military machinery such as tanks, airplanes, submarines, and warships.

From this aspect, it can also be seen that the specifications of the National Power Laboratory; as a national-level laboratory, the power and status of this institution are naturally also particularly high.

While Diesel was looking at this plan, Gao Da smiled and said: "After the merger of the two engine laboratories, Mr. Diesel, you will serve as the chief engineer of the Spanish National Power Laboratory, and your annual salary will be twice the previous one, 70,000 Bisaita.

The National Power Laboratory will be divided into three major categories, namely steam engines, gasoline engines, and diesel engines. According to the differences of these three types of machinery, the National Power Laboratory will also build different types of factories to cooperate with the military and other private enterprises.

At least 20 million Bisaita of the income generated by these factories and the National Power Laboratory will continue to be invested in various research of the Power Laboratory.

Before the income is greater than 20 million Bisaita, the Royal Family will make up for this part of the research and development funds.

Mr. Diesel, I have high hopes for this merged National Power Laboratory. Do you have the confidence to become the chief engineer of the National Power Laboratory, leading a group of Spanish mechanical and dynamics experts to design one excellent engine after another for Spain?" Introducing to the end, Gao Da looked at Diesel with a smile and asked his question.

Diesel was full of surprise about this merged Spanish National Power Laboratory; he did not expect that the specifications of this merged institution would be so huge.

At least 20 million Bisaita of research and development funds per year, this is not a small amount of money at all. Although the current diesel engine has already shown extremely powerful potential, 20 million Bisaita is enough to build at least ten engine laboratories of the same level.

Gao Da spent such huge funds to build such a National Power Laboratory, which is enough to see his optimism about diesel engines and other series of internal combustion engines.

Does he have the confidence to become the chief engineer of this huge institution? Diesel asked himself in his heart, and then received a quite affirmative answer.

"I have confidence, Your Majesty. As long as you give me enough research and development funds, I have enough confidence to conduct exploration step by step in the field of diesel engines and other internal combustion engines, developing one engine after another with more powerful performance.

However, this National Power Laboratory involves three types: steam engines, gasoline engines, and diesel engines, which also means that the laboratory needs more manpower and needs to find talents in this field throughout Europe, perhaps only then can it meet the talent needs of the laboratory."

Establishing a huge comprehensive laboratory only needs three conditions. First, there must be enough funds; on one hand, establishing a laboratory needs a lot of funds, and on the other hand, the subsequent research of the laboratory also needs a lot of research and development funds.

The second condition is that there must be enough equipment. However, this point of equipment can also be solved with enough funds; if there is no equipment, at worst, buy it from all over Europe, and spending a little more money can also buy it.

The third condition is that there must be enough research and development personnel. Diesel has the confidence to conduct deeper exploration in the field of diesel engines, but his research on steam engines and gasoline engines is currently at a level that is not very familiar.

Diesel can serve as the chief engineer of the National Power Laboratory, but wanting to take care of the development of three types of power machinery at the same time is obviously impossible.
