   "Mr. Rudolf Diesel welcomes you to Romania."

   At the Bucharest railway station, the head of the bodyguard Carust came to greet the inventor of the diesel engine. Rudolf Diesel learned after some exchanges. This Mr. Carust is the captain of the crown prince's guard. This surprised Rudolf Diesel. He could feel from the attitudes of these people that Romania attaches great importance to him, which is not available in Germany.

   "His Royal Highness hopes to have lunch with Mr. Rudolf Diesel, so that you can feel the enthusiasm of Romanians." The head of the bodyguard said his reason for coming here.

   "It is an honor to be invited by your Highness." Rudolf Diesel certainly would not refuse the invitation of the crown prince. The two drove in a car on the road to the palace.

   "Your Excellency Chief Guard, don't you know what I need to pay attention to when I meet the Crown Prince?" Rudolf Diesel asked the Chief Guard 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 need to pay attention to anything." Carust calmed the inventor.

   The two arrived at the palace, and the chief guard led Rudolf Diesel all the way to the meeting room, where Rudolf Diesel met and was waiting for his Crown Prince Edel.

   "It's nice to meet you Rudolf Diesel." Edel did not hesitate to greet Rudolf Diesel first.

   "I am very grateful for being valued by the crown prince." Rudolf Diesel is not a piece of wood, and it is very touched to face the crown prince with such importance. After the two greeted each other, Edel also asked about the idea of ​​the recent diesel engine inventor. "Mr. Rudolf Diesel, where do you plan to start when you take over the power laboratory?"

   Rudolf Diesel sat upright and answered Edel's question. "His Royal Highness, I intend to continue to improve the diesel engine. I think that 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. Moreover, we can also install the diesel engine on the warship. Few ships are using diesel engines for power."

  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 board small boats. There is no way for large ships, and he has not said the shortcomings of diesel engines. Edel can only break his illusions by himself.

"We all know the advantages and disadvantages of Rudolf Diesel diesel engines. We believe that it is impossible for passenger cars to use diesel engines under the current technological conditions. It has higher noise, higher vibration, and volume and weight than gasoline engines. , And the material requirements are higher, and it will be more expensive than gasoline engines. You need to warm up in winter before you can use it, you know very well."

   Rudolf Diesel looked at Crown Prince Edel, talking about the shortcomings of the diesel engine, and couldn't help asking. "Then where does your Highness think the diesel engine should go, it's not asking me to rest."

  Edel heard the dissatisfaction in Rudolf Diesel's tone. Said to him with a smile. "Diesel engines also have many advantages. Look at the long life and durability, good terrain adaptation, high safety factor, and diesel is not easy to catch fire. I think it can be developed for military vehicles and agricultural vehicles. This is a good choice. Marine power can be As a long-term goal. What we need to do now is to make diesel engines widely used. Passenger cars are now impossible."

   Rudolf Diesel fell silent after hearing what the crown prince said. Now his awareness of Edel has improved a lot. After thinking about the proposal of the crown prince, I found that it was really a good direction.

   "Sorry, my lord, I was too impulsive just now. I didn't expect you to have such a high level of knowledge of diesel engines. This is something I didn't expect before." Rudolf Diesel sincerely thanked Edel for showing him the direction.

"You are too polite, Rudolf Diesel, in fact, you can find these directions by changing your mind." Edel told Rudolf Diesel, is this the experience of later generations bad? .

   "I was too impatient to notice."

   After some conversation, they both felt that each other was good. Edel recognized Rudolf Diesel's thorough understanding of power plants. Rudolf Diesel admired the extraordinary vision of the crown prince.

   After having lunch together, Edel took Rudolf Diesel to the power laboratory. The staff in the laboratory knew that Rudolf Diesel was coming today, and they all wanted to see the inventor of the diesel engine. But when seeing the crown prince personally bring Rudolf Diesel, everyone can feel the crown prince's importance to him.

   "His Royal Highness, Mr. Diesel, this is our studio." The former assistant of Moronier pointed to the place where he usually works, and said to the crown prince and Rudolf Diesel. He is also a clever man, otherwise he would not be promoted to assistant by Moroniir.

   "Diesel, what do you think of this laboratory." Edel turned his head and asked Rudolf Diesel. After a good conversation before, the two met and became friends. Now Edel is showing his attitude to the people in the laboratory. Now the European king does not have a friend in the scientific world.

"His Royal Highness is much better than my previous laboratory, and the equipment is well maintained. I believe that a good engine will be made here soon." Rudolf Diesel replied to the crown prince, he was still sober and aware I need to come up with a score so that everyone can see that I am worthy of the crown prince.

   "Diesel, I am here to congratulate you in advance for your good results." The crown prince said compliments to Rudolf Diesel. After speaking, he turned and talked to the laboratory staff on a whim. "You all know him."

   "I saw photos in the newspaper before, but now I see myself."

   "I only knew the name before, but now I know it."

For a while, the scientific researchers here started talking, Edel looked at the lively scene a little bit embarrassed, UU reading www.uukanshu.com saw a table standing next to it, signalling everyone to be quiet. People saw the crown prince's gesture and quieted down.

   "We all know who he is, now let your new director Rudolf Diesel say something to you?" The crown prince finally got the result he wanted.

"Ok."

   Rudolf Diesel knew that this was the crown prince who was creating momentum for him, and he would not politely stand on the table and talk to the people below. "I am not here to be the savior, I just want to work with everyone to develop our power laboratory. We want to let the whole Europe know that our laboratory is an indispensable part of European dynamics. Do you have any confidence?"

   "Yes." The people below answered him loudly.

   "Diesel, your testimonials are very exciting, and I hope you can do your best. But I still have things to do and I can only leave first." Edel said to Rudolf Diesel.

   "Good Majesty, thank you very much for sending me here today. I will send it to you, crown prince." Rudolf Diesel offered to send the crown prince out.

   "No, you need to know your subordinates now, so I won't bother you." After speaking, the crown prince took his guards and left. After passing by two researchers with their backs to him, they heard their conversation. "It's amazing that Fritz Haber invented'synthetic ammonia' in Germany."

   Edel heard this 'synthetic ammonia' as if it had been mentioned in the previous life, but Edel continued to walk out without a single expression, intending to return to the palace and call for investigation.

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

   Rudolf Diesel said. "Then we will start from this aspect."
