Don't think that everything will be fine when the plane flies into the sky, there are still many troubles.
This is different from the study of cars, as long as the car does not have problems with the brakes, the most that goes wrong on the road is to lie in the nest, and if the plane has a problem, it will be a big trouble, and people can survive even if they are God blessed.
The main problem is still focused on the engine, which is the heart of the aircraft, as long as the engine problem can be solved, other problems are not a problem.
"The research of the engine has not stopped, the engine we are using now is developed on the basis of the type 2 engine, at present, our engine research institute has two engine research groups, one is responsible for the research of automobile engines, and the other is responsible for the research of aircraft engines, and the next step is that we are going to separate the aircraft engine research groups and set up a separate flight power research institute, which we expect to cost about 250,000 US dollars."
The price offered by Franklin was not high, and it was even far lower than Li Mu's psychological expectations.
As long as there is a research institute as a foundation, it is not difficult to develop a second one, and it will save a lot of funds.
"No problem, I'll call you later."
Li Mu has never spared no effort in scientific research, and he has given as much as he wants.
"There is also a part of our R&D expenses, which is not capped, and we expect to need about $300,000 in the first batch of funding."
Franklin continued, and compared to the hardware, this part is the real bottomless pit.
"Give you 500,000, and the extra will be sent out as a bonus."
Li Mu simply settled the bonus together, so that those researchers could have the motivation to work.
"In addition, we also need the cooperation of the steel company, we need new materials that are lighter in weight and higher strength, the best material we can find at the moment is birch, it is difficult to find a better estimate, of course we will not give up in this regard, if we can find it, of course it is the best, if we can't find it, then we can only expect new products to appear in Pittsburgh."
Thibodeau McMillan is more focused on technology, Li Mu's requirements are getting higher and higher, and the pressure on Thibodeau McMillan will be increasing.
Carnegie's business has been expanding, with three steel mills opening in a year and another sprawling trust being formed, but Carnegi Limsteel's core specialty steel mill is still located in Pittsburgh.
"I'll say hello to the materials, but I can't pin all my hopes on the emergence of new materials, and the basic work that needs to be done still needs to be done."
Li Mu was not sure at this point, so he didn't dare to pack the ticket.
In Li Mu's impression, until the First World War, airplanes seemed to be made of wood, so materials are not the key factor restricting the development of airplanes at present.
Li Mu knows very well that the most suitable material for aviation is aluminum alloy, but it is not easy to get aluminum alloy at present, before the emergence of pure aluminum refining technology, aluminum can not be produced on a large scale, this technology will not appear until the end of the 19th century, and directly promoted the birth of the Mellon family.
At the end of the 19th century and now, there is actually not much difference between it, thinking of the importance of aluminum, Li Mu decided to rob the Mellon family of livelihood.
"Franklin, now there's a new mission, go get some chemists, form a research team, and we're going to start working on how to produce this metal on a large scale."
Li Mu said to do it, anyway, for Li Mu, it was just an injection of money into the Junma Laboratory, and Li Mu didn't have to worry about anything else.
"Okay, no problem, I'll start working as soon as I get back."
Franklin was also interested in this technique.
In fact, the metal "aluminum" has been discovered as early as 1808, and over the years, countless scientists have tried to find a way to produce "aluminum" on a large scale, but no one has succeeded in winning this scientific laurel.
At present, the French are at the forefront of the world in the research of aluminum, and the French are able to produce 750 kilograms of aluminium per year, which is also the entire production of "aluminum" in the world.
It is not very difficult to produce aluminum on a large scale, in the original history, Charles Martin Hall only took a few years after graduating from university, and used the melt analysis method to obtain pure aluminum, although Li Mu does not know how this melt analysis method operates, but as long as he has money, even if he experiments little by little in the most stupid way, he can finally get the correct answer.
Thomas Edison once said: scientific research is 99 percent sweat, plus 1 percent inspiration, but without this 1 percent inspiration, 99 percent of the sweat is in vain.
This cannot be said to be wrong, but it is opportunistic, Thomas Edison said that the thousands of experiments in the process of studying the light bulb are not worth mentioning, and the little inspiration he provides is the most important.
But the problem is that even this bit of inspiration is not original to Thomas Edison.
If it weren't for the genius of Nikola Tesla, it would be more realistic to do experiments honestly.
About Nikola Tesla, this person is already in Li Mu's pocket, last year Li Mu sent someone to Europe to find Nikola Tesla, and bear all the expenses of Nikola Tesla's college, Nikola Tesla has promised that after graduation, he will go directly to the United States to work for the Junma laboratory.
This is a killer feature hidden by Li Mu, as long as he has Nicholas Tesla, then the Junma Group will not have to worry about being controlled by others in technology for at least a few decades.
In order to set up a scientific research team for large-scale production of aluminum, Li Mu injected another $150,000 into the Junma Laboratory, which is also only a start-up fund, and Li Mu will make additional funds later.
At noon, Li Mu hosted a banquet for Franklin and Thibodeau McMillan at Clinton Castle.
Franklin showed an unusual interest in Clinton Castle and the beach club, and Li Mu knew that Franklin wanted it, and promised that as long as he found a way to produce aluminum on a large scale, Li Mu would find a way to let Franklin follow the old path of Runkel and enter the political arena.
Li Mu now has more and more resources in his hands, and Franklin's entry into politics does not mean that Rankle will withdraw, even if Massachusetts can't vacate a redundant senator position, Li Mu can also arrange Franklin to Hawaii to run for Hawaii senator.
Thibodeau McMillan had eaten a meal that he didn't know how to eat, and by this time Thibodeau McMillan's heart had flown back to Boston, and he decided to go back to the lab and do a big job.
After seeing off Franklin and Thibodeau McMillan, Li Mu continued to work together in New York to fulfill his promise to Hayes.
Hayes's advantage is really not big, although Hayes has almost no enemies in the Republican Party, and after serving as the governor of Ohio, he has always had a good reputation, but the problem is in this Ohio, Ohio is located in the Great Lakes basin in the central and eastern United States, in the United States, Ohio has almost no presence, Li Mu's impression of Ohio comes from the Cleveland Cavaliers, the problem is that it is now the 19th century, the NBA does not even have a shadow, and Li Mu naturally has no impression of Ohio.
The reason why Hisilicon can compete with James Bryan and James Garfield has a lot to do with the support of the Harrison family, without the support of the Harrison family, Hayes probably wouldn't even be able to survive the first round of voting.
Although Li Mu promised to support Hayes, the situation facing Hayes is still not optimistic, and if he wants to defeat James Garfield and James Bryan, Hayes needs more allies.
The first person Li Mu lobbied was J Morgan.
Strictly speaking, there are many similarities between Hayes's governing philosophy and J.
Morgan's advocacy of fair play, both of whom are good at compromise, both are upright and tactful, and both have a deep hatred of corruption.

It doesn't just look similar, they're just one person.
"I know that you have always wanted to build a relatively fair social system, in the current political ecology, fairness is almost impossible, even if it is relatively fair, it is difficult to do, the advantage is that Mr.
Governor is willing to try for this, although there is a high probability that it will fail, but the willingness to try is a risk in itself, and now Mr.
Governor's power is not big enough, which requires our joint efforts."
Li Mu said nicely when he faced J Morgan, although it was a bit ridiculous to hear "fairness and justice" from Li Mu's mouth, but this is the goal that J Morgan has always pursued.
"Mr.
Hays, do you think he has a chance to win" J Morgan was worried, he didn't see a chance of winning for Hays.
"How do you know if you don't try, you know, the Republican Party has not been doing well lately, in fact, whether it's Hayes or James Bryan, or James Garfield, it's unlikely that we will win the final victory, but relatively speaking, Hayes is already the best person we can find, and we don't want to lose, so we have to stick together."
Li Mu's fighting spirit is high, which is exactly what the Republican Party lacks the most now.
In the past two years, the Republican Party has been defeated again and again in the face of the Democratic Party, and anyone can see the decline of the Republican Party, but the problem is that many Republicans are blindly optimistic and do not think that the Democratic Party has a chance to win at all, even if the Democratic Party is ahead of the Republican Party in the polls, they also think that the Republican Party will easily win.
An easy victory is no longer possible, a simple loss is more likely, and in the South, Republican polls have fallen sharply, and even in the traditional North vote base, Republican vote has begun to fluctuate, all of which does not bode well.
The Democratic Party is now seizing on the corruption of the Republican Party and is chasing after it, and the people's patience with the Republican Party is getting lower and lower, and it will not be easy for the Republican Party to win the presidential race if the Republican Party does not come up with some off-the-beaten-path tactics now.
"You're right, but I can't promise you right now, and I think if I get a chance to have dinner with Mr.
Governor, it would be very helpful to solve the problem."
J Morgan wants to get to know Hayes deeply, it doesn't take too long, one meal is enough.
"Of course, I'll arrange it, and I'll do it tonight."
Li Mu has a big package, arranging a meal or something is too simple, as long as J Morgan has time, he can do it at any time, as for Hayes, he has time at any time, who can refuse J Morgan's invitation.
In the evening, at St.
George's Restaurant, Li Mu, Hayes and J Morgan gathered together.
"In fact, what we need is not only a regulated banking industry, in my opinion all industries should be regulated, now our market is full of bad competition, people who abide by the rules are difficult to walk, and people who do not follow the rules are unimpeded, which is very abnormal, everything should be on a normal track."
Hayes talks eloquently, lamenting certain behaviors in society.
Well, Li Mu is the representative of "certain behaviors", but Li Mu's face was not impatient at all, and he watched Hayes perform with a smile.
"It's very easy to say, but it's not easy to do, we have to admit the problems that exist in the current society, these problems are actually the responsibility of each of us, strictly speaking we are all vested interests, so if we want to change from vested interests to reformers, the difficulties we will face will be unimaginable."
J.
Morgan agreed with Hayes's words, but was not too optimistic.
J Morgan is right, the reason why American politics is so chaotic is not caused overnight, of course the Grant government is responsible, but if it is not fair to blame all the blame on the Grant government, the problem is that if Hayes wants to change all this, then Hayes will jump out of the vested interest class and become the enemy of the existing vested interest class, J Morgan does not think that Hayes will succeed in the end.
Or rather, J Morgan didn't see any hope of success at all.
At least not in the last few decades.
"If I don't try, how can I know I can't do itWell, maybe I can't do it, but I'll do my best to influence some people, even if I am ousted during my term of office, or if I am shamelessly assassinated by my opponents like President Lincoln, I think it will be worth it, even if I can only plant a seed, I believe that one day it will grow into a towering tree."
Hayes was as fearless as a fighter, and his thin frame was indeed tall and majestic at this moment.
"You're right, no matter what the outcome, we should try to give it a try."
J Morgan was infected by Hayes's words, and since Hayes could even take out his life as a bet, J Morgan didn't mind following Hayes to make a bet.
After getting J Morgan, there are still a lot of people who need Li Mu to do the work one by one, they are Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Henry Dupont, and so on
