Romanian Eagle

Mr. Rudolf Diesel welcomes you to Romania.

The inventor of the diesel engine was greeted at the Bucharest railway station by the captain of the guard, Carust. Rudolf Diesel learned after some exchange. This Mr. Carrust was the chief guard of the crown prince. This surprised Rudolf Diesel. From the attitudes of these people, he could feel that Romania attached great importance to him, which was not found in Germany.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hopes to have lunch with Mr. Rudolf Diesel, so that your Excellency can feel the enthusiasm of the Romanians.

I am very honored to be invited by His Royal Highness. Of course Rudolf Diesel would not refuse the invitation of the Crown Prince. The two were driving on the road to the palace in a car.

Your Excellency, the captain of the guard, do you know what I need to pay attention to when I meet the crown prince? Rudolf Diesel asked the captain a little restrained when he met the royal family for the first time.

His Royal Highness is a very easy-going person, you don't have to pay attention at all. Carust soothed the inventor.

When the two arrived at the palace, the captain of the guard led Rudolf Diesel all the way to the drawing room, where Rudolf Diesel met and was waiting for his Crown Prince Edel.

Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Rudolf Diesel. Edel also greeted Rudolf Diesel without any scruples.

I am very grateful that I can get the crown prince's attention. Rudolf Diesel is not a wood, and he is very moved by the crown prince's attention. After the two greeted each other, Edel also asked what the recent diesel inventor was thinking. Mr. Rudolf Diesel, where do you plan to start when you take over the power laboratory?

Rudolf Diesel sat up straight and answered Edel's question. His Royal Highness, I plan to continue to improve the diesel engine. I think the diesel engine has strong power and low fuel consumption. As long as we can make the diesel engine small enough, it will be no problem to install it on the car. And we can also install the diesel engine on the warship. Is there any problem now? Few ships are powered by diesel engines.

Edel heard that Rudolf Diesel was still planning to compete with the gasoline engine in the car. As for marine diesel engines, they can only be used on small boats. There is no way for large boats. Moreover, he has not said the shortcomings of diesel engines. Edel can only break his illusion.

We all know the advantages and disadvantages of the Rudolf Diesel diesel engine, and we believe that it is impossible for a passenger car to use a diesel engine under the current technological conditions. It is noisy, vibrates, and is larger in size and weight than a gasoline engine. , and the material requirements are higher, and it will be more expensive than a gasoline engine. You need to warm up to use in winter, you are also very clear.”

Rudolf Diesel looked at Crown Prince Eder and kept talking about the shortcomings of diesel engines, and couldn't help but ask. Then His Highness thinks that the diesel engine should be developed in which direction. It's not like asking me to take a rest.

Edel heard the dissatisfaction in Rudolf Diesel's tone. Said to him with a smile. There are also many advantages of diesel engines. You can see that they have long lifespan, good durability, good terrain adaptation, high safety factor, and diesel engines are not easy to catch fire. I think it can be developed into military vehicles and agricultural vehicles, which is a good choice. Marine power can As a long-term goal. What we need to do now is to make diesel engines widely available, which is not possible for passenger cars now.”

Rudolf Diesel fell silent after hearing the Crown Prince's words. Now his awareness of Edel has improved a lot. After thinking about the crown prince's proposal, I found that it is really a good direction.

I'm sorry, Your Highness, I was too impulsive just now. I didn't expect you to have such a high understanding of diesel engines. This is something I didn't expect before. Rudolf Diesel sincerely thanked Edel for pointing him in the direction.

You're too kind, Rudolf Diesel. In fact, you can find these directions by changing your mind. Edel said to Rudolf Diesel,

Is this the experience of later generations?

I was too impatient to notice.

After the two talked for a while, they both felt that the other was good. Eder was aware of Rudolf Diesel's thorough understanding of powerplants. Rudolf Diesel admired the extraordinary vision of the crown prince.

After having lunch together, Eder brought Rudolf Diesel to the Dynamics Lab. The laboratory staff had long known that Rudolf Diesel was coming today and wanted to see the inventor of the diesel engine. But when the crown prince brought Rudolf Diesel in person, everyone could feel that the crown prince valued him.

His Royal Highness, Mr. Diesel, this is our studio. Moloney's assistant pointed to the place where he usually worked and said to the crown prince and Rudolf Diesel. He is also a clever man, otherwise he would not have been promoted to assistant by Moronier.

What do you think of this laboratory, Diesel? Edel turned his head and asked Rudolf Diesel. After a good conversation before, the two met and became friends late. Now Edel is showing his attitude to the people in the laboratory. The current king of Europe does not have a friend in the scientific community.

His Royal Highness's laboratory is much better than my previous one, and the equipment is well maintained. I believe that a good engine will be made here soon. Rudolf Diesel replied to the crown prince, and he was still very clear about it. I need to come up with a result, so that everyone can see that I am worthy of the crown prince's attention.

Diesel, let me congratulate you in advance on your good results here. The crown prince said praise to Rudolf Diesel. After speaking, he turned to the laboratory staff on a whim. You all know him.

I saw pictures in newspapers before, but now I see myself.

I only knew the name before, but now I know each other.

For a while, the scientific researchers here started talking, Edel looked a little embarrassed at the lively scene, and saw a table next to it standing on it, signaling everyone to be quiet, and people saw the crown prince's gesture. calm down.

We all know who he is, now let your new director Rudolf Diesel tell you a few words? The crown prince finally got the result he wanted.

OK.

Rudolf Diesel knew that it was the crown prince who was promoting him, and stood up at the table politely and spoke to the people below. I'm not here to be the savior, I just want to work with you to develop our power laboratory. We want to let the whole of Europe know that our laboratory is an indispensable part of European dynamics. Do you have any confidence?

Yes. The man below answered him loudly.

Diesel, your speech is very encouraging, and I hope you can do your best. But I still have things to do and I have to go first. Edel said to Rudolf Diesel.

Okay, Your Highness, thank you very much for sending me here today. I'll send you off, Crown Prince. Rudolf Diesel offered to send the Crown Prince out.

No, you need to know your subordinates now, so I won't bother. After that, the crown prince left with the guards. Hears two researchers talking as they pass by with their backs to him. It's amazing that Fritz Haber invented 'synthetic ammonia' in Germany.

Eder heard that this 'synthetic ammonia' seemed to have been mentioned in a previous life, but Eder continued to walk out quietly, intending to return to the palace and ask someone to investigate.

After the crown prince left, Moronier's assistant asked where Rudolf Diesel planned to start. What were you guys doing before? The assistant said the small agricultural diesel engine that Edel had asked for.

Rudolf Diesel said. Then let's start with that.
