C2477 technology gambler (1/2)

Since ancient times, the weaker races, the later countries, if they wanted to challenge the strong, they had to learn how to pass the curve!

What is a U-turn? In the course of major historical changes, the economy structure of our country can be adjusted rapidly by relying on the characteristics of small boat's small, good turn, and the promotion of new science and technology forcibly, so as to improve one's productivity and achieve the goal of surpassing the strong.

The older an empire was, the greater his own inertia would be. For example, the current British Empire was heavily dependent on traditional technology for his country's economic structure.

They were basically all factories in the country that had the standard to continue the past. This habit was so deep-rooted that if they wanted to innovate and upgrade their technology, they would need to invest a lot of capital and money. At the same time, there would be a period of chaos.

Humans all have inertia. When they become the world's number one, then the motivation for innovation will be much smaller than that of other races. Simply put, they can rely on their old ways to become number one in the world.

Change was gambling, and the future was gambling. The current model already made a lot of money for the UK. Why would they take such a risk? This is a kind of inertia of themselves.

We are a weak country, and we are not even as strong as the France. If we want to become stronger, we have to take the initiative to seek new change, and we have to surpass them by force.

They were like heavy elephants that were slowly charging forward, and we were like agile cheetahs that were quickly piercing through the winding mountain roads, surpassing them.

Now that the curve of history is in front of us, the second Tech Big Bang I mentioned has caught on.

In 1859, French engineer Lenova had experimented with a new machine, a small machine that burned gas. I had bought all his blueprints at a high price through various channels, a failed invention that had been stored in a laboratory and had not reached mass production, but which was valuable to me.

This was because this immature machine would provide a completely new source of power for humans!

What is the basis of industry? Actually, we all know that the foundation of industry is power!

In primitive society, if humans want to change nature, they can only rely on manpower. The power of our arms, legs, and bodies, as well as the power of livestock, is the only power that we humans can borrow.

However, the core of the Industrial Revolution was actually having a completely new power source, which was the steam engine!

The propulsion machinery must have strength. Without the manpower and the animal power, without the hydraulic power, we humans can actually start the huge operation of machinery by burning coal and wood, and by using the power of steam. This is a genius invention.

However, the steam engine was an external power source and its efficiency was very low. This was because countless amounts of energy had been wasted during the combustion process and during the steam leakage process. Its thermal efficiency was simply too low.

The French engineer's failure to invent this idea was actually correct. I called it an internal combustion engine, allowing the fuel to burn inside the body instead of outside the machine. This way, the thermal efficiency would not leak out too much and the utilization rate would naturally be higher.

In other words, a small amount of energy can provide a stronger power supply, and the size of the machinery can be reduced accordingly.
