Diesel is undoubtedly one of the greatest inventors in the field of internal combustion engines. The diesel engine he invented had a huge impact on the society of later generations. Taking Diesel under his command in advance will ensure that he will greatly lead his opponents in the field of diesel engines in the future.
Diesel engines are widely used, but what Qin Tian values most is the application in tanks, armored vehicles, heavy trucks and submarines. These are inseparable from the military field.
Diesel's full name is Rudolf? Diesel was born in Paris, France in March 1858. Parents are German workers working in France. After France and Germany turned against each other, the Diesel family was deported back to Germany. Family life also became difficult.
In 1879, Diesel, who was only 21 years old, graduated from University. Became a refrigeration professional engineer. At work, Diesel deeply felt that the efficiency of the steam engine at that time was extremely low, and he had the idea of designing a new type of engine. After saving some money, Diesel quit his job as a refrigeration engineer and started an engine laboratory of his own.
After many failures, Diesel's experiment finally succeeded. In 1892, Diesel was finally able to show the world what he had achieved - a practical diesel-powered compression ignition engine. This kind of engine has high power, low fuel consumption, can use low-quality fuel, and shows brilliant development prospects. Diesel then threw himself into the business venture of diesel engine production. Unfortunately, as a good engineer, Diesel lacked business acumen. He was getting into trouble financially. In 1913 Diesel was on the verge of bankruptcy. This summer, Diesel suddenly disappeared while taking a ferry in the English Channel. It is believed that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea.
Qin Tian went to Augsburg this time, hoping to save Diesel and change his fate. At the same time, he was also a scientist who kept a national treasure for Germany.
As the third largest city in Bavaria, Augsburg is relatively prosperous. Qin Tian went directly to Diesel's office according to the address he had inquired before.
Diesel's office is located in the suburbs, because the rent there is cheaper. It is said to be an office, but it is actually an abandoned factory. It was here that Diesel conducted countless experiments and invented the diesel engine.
However, although Diesel succeeded. However, the commercial operation of the diesel engine he invented was not smooth, and the market acceptance was not high, and no buyers were even found. This also made the investors who had been funding Diesel's research before stop supporting Diesel because they could not see the hope of making a profit. As a result, Diesel was on the brink of bankruptcy.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Diesel there?" Qin Tian couldn't help frowning after finding the place. Of course, he can also understand. The fate of Diesel's life was rough, and it is inevitable that he is living in distress now.
Not long after, the door opened. A middle-aged man in black overalls appeared in front of Qin Tian.
"I am, who are you?" The middle-aged man frowned, he didn't know the young man in front of him.
"Mr. Diesel, hello, I came here just because of the reputation. I heard that you invented an engine with high power, low fuel consumption, and can use low-quality fuel." Qin Tian asked.
Diesel nodded, this is no secret.
"come in!"
After entering the yard, Qin Tian found that it was even more messy inside. Engine parts were piled up everywhere, and the oil gave off a foul smell. It can be seen that the working conditions here are very simple.
"That's the diesel engine I developed. However, not many people in the market accept it." Diesel's eyes looked a little bleak.
Qin Tian nodded, Diesel's current situation can be described as very bad. Although the diesel engine designed by Diesel can be called an epoch-making product. However, it was criticized and excluded by competitors. Coupled with Diesel's lack of business acumen, he lost a lot of money in stocks, making his life in trouble.
Qin Tian looked at the diesel engine that could be called crude. However, he knew that any invention and creation, the things developed at the beginning, would not be so beautiful. With the continuous advancement of science and technology, it can naturally be improved in all aspects.
"Mr. Diesel, this is a good invention, and I am very optimistic about its application prospects." Qin Tian said.
"I believe it too, but unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't last until that day." Diesel's eyes were full of despair.
"No, Mr. Diesel, I believe you will overcome the difficulties." Qin Tian said firmly.
Diesel was taken aback for a moment, as if he hadn't thought about why Qin Tian was so confident.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Oscar, the fifth name of Kaiser Wilhelm II of the German Empire. At the same time, Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company and Deutsche Shipyard are also my industries. In addition, I have just registered a company called Deutsche Engine Works I hope you can join us." Qin Tian looked solemn.
"What? Prince Oscar?" Diesel was dumbfounded.
Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company, of course Diesel knows that this company is known as the most profitable company. Although Deutsche Werft does not know, if it is really a company owned by Prince Oscar, the scale will obviously not be so small.
"Hello, Your Royal Highness!" Diesel wanted to reach out to shake Qin Tian's hand, but when he realized that his hand was full of engine oil, he quickly retracted it.
"Hello, Mr. Diesel. Would you like to join my company? I can purchase your technology patents and give you enough research and development funds to continue your research! The initial price is set at five million Mark. Of course, if you are not satisfied, we can talk again." Qin Tian was very generous about this. Although he is now heavily in debt. However, with the support of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company, he does not have much financial pressure.
"Five million marks?" Diesel was shocked. This is undoubtedly a sky-high price for him. You know, when he was the richest, his net worth did not exceed one million marks.
"If you agree, I can build a research and development center in Augsburg, and the future factory can also be placed here. In this way, you don't have to leave your hometown. However, I hope you can continue to develop diesel engines and study A diesel engine with higher reliability, greater power, and smaller volume. I believe that the future of this engine will be very bright!"
