The first time with the Second Industrial Revolution, all of the technological breakthroughs were actually not that difficult.

It was just like Edison, who invented the electric light. The scientists at that time all knew the principle behind it. People didn't need to spend a lot of effort on the principle, they just needed money and time!

Edison was not so much a great inventor as a successful businessman!

Since he was good at interacting with capitalists, he could easily raise money, and he had a large number of researchers working for him!

Rather than saying that the electric light bulb was invented by him, it was more accurate to say that he ordered his guild to spend a lot of time and money to experiment and produce it!

What was the filament made of? He did not know either, but he could continue experimenting until the day he broke through!

Back when humans were researching internal combustion engine, electricity and other technologies, their methods were all very stupid. They were trying again and again to improve upon failure, to try again and again, to improve again!

Cars, planes, warships... These second Industrial Revolution's signature industrial products were all the products of empirical science!

When did science start to become so forbidding that ordinary people couldn't get close to it? It was going to be around the end of the second world war, especially the end of the second world war!

Quantum physics, chemistry, electronics... Humans began to move towards the microcosm, humans began to study the origin of materials!

At this time, science and technology were much more difficult to understand!

Because it was invisible to the naked eye, modern technology, especially quantum physics, focused more on studying the laws of atoms and the electronic world. People could no longer see it with their own eyes.

At that time, he would need to use a mathematician model!

In other words, the microscopic world that humans could not see depended on the imagination of scientists to establish models for their research!

This was too mystical. From then on, a wall formed between science and ordinary people!

Not everyone possessed abstract thoughts. The electricians who could install the most complicated circuits would probably not be able to draw the microcircuits within the chip!

The third time at the Industrial Revolution, it was all because of the quality of a basic scientist!

If any country wanted to stand out in the third Industrial Revolution, they would have to rely on famous theoretical physicists, mathematicians, and chemists to carry out the most basic theoretical research!

It was also the social criticism that Xiao Letian had heard about in his previous life. Many people complained, "What's the use of learning these things? What could he do? You don't have to waste time in life! '

However, this kind of invisible and untouchable things that don't seem to be of any use in life have profoundly transformed our world!

He had to admit that the vast majority of humans could only survive in the two fields of action, thought, and image!

As for the higher level world of abstract thought, it would always belong to the minority!

Fortunately, Xiao Letian had not transmigrated into the future and had instead arrived at the end of nineteenth century.

In the 21st century, an ordinary lumber, locksmith, even a skilled mechanic in an automobile factory, can become a very good engineer in this era!

Because in this era, scientific research was still focused on the areas of visible and palpable vigilance, namely, the thinking of movements and the thinking of images!

This era relied on the practical abilities of engineers. If one was good at learning and was willing to put in effort, they would definitely be able to reap rewards!

The internal combustion engine was not complicated, so he told these engineers the principle. As long as they could break through that layer of window paper, they would have to use their time to grind it down!

Xiao Letian patted Yuan Chao's shoulder and said, "What you said is not wrong, what you want is a burst of high temperature and high pressure gas to propel the piston!"

"When you use gas or gas, it's actually the same in the cylinder. The principle is the same!"

The Head of the Guards patted Ren Youweimen's shoulder again, "Don't you Fu Sang people especially respect the spirit of craftsmen? Aren't you a little too self-disciplined? "

"Take out your obsessive-compulsive disorder. Make all the experiments as detailed as possible and as perfect as possible …"

"Internal combustion engine, how about it? You have to remember a few points. First is the material …" "Using various types of steel for experiments, lubricating them with various types of lubricants, and burning them with different numbers of gasoline!"

"Time and time again, time and time again, recording all kinds of data, wear and tear, times of work, time of scrap …" "And so on and so forth all need to research their own records!"

"How much gasoline do cylinders of different sizes spray at a time? How to atomize, time of arc ignition... You have to go and obtain all these first-hand data yourself! "

"This is our top secret. This job is very complicated, very exhausting … People who have no patience will not be able to do it, but I believe that the little obsessive-compulsive disorder of your Fusang people is still competent! "

"You have to debug all the data, and in the end, you will reach the perfect standard!"

"Machinery of the smallest size produces the greatest heat efficiency, and it is the most reliable... This kind of internal combustion engine is the key for us Chinese to enter the new era! "

"Remember that all research must be strictly confidential. Whether or not the Chinese can become a first-rate power in the future will all depend on you, the basic researchers!"

Letting go of the trembling engineer, Xiao Letian turned his head and told the group of officials, "We will enter into an era where we can swallow gold in the future!"

"The era of the super arms race has opened its doors. In the future, the navy may even swallow up tens of billions of our funds!"

"I'm not joking, and I'm not biased against the Navy... but it says that the mainstream of the war in the next hundred years will be in the sea, and the world's strongest will fight for the right to control the sea! "

"The war reparations I have extorted from France are not enough to sustain the naval arms race! We, the Chinese people, must bring out the real profit-making industries within 10 years! "

"I don't care about investing in the oil industry or the internal combustion engine!"

"The more money you invest in the earlier stage of research, the higher the profit value of the later stage products will be!" If I invest a piece of silver today, my future return will be ten thousand times or even a million times! "

"At the beginning of 1872, the goal I set for you is that the Chinese will produce the best internal combustion engine in the world!"

"This is the heart of the Second Industrial Revolution!"

"Xiang Ying! I can tell you the truth, one day your ship will never burn coal again … You will command a huge steel ship burning oil across the ocean! "

"One day, our army will not rely on mules to maneuver on land! "I will put wheels on every cannon!"

"If a human loses his dream, then what's the difference between him and a salted fish?!"

"Follow me and fight for thirty more years!" "Only then will I be able to return the peace and prosperity to you all!"
