After Zhang Tie finished introducing the design principles of the Dual-Drive Engine, everyone in the room fell silent.
To them, this engine was indeed unprecedented and unmatched—but what they could not understand was what Candle Dragon True Person had invented it for. The obvious fact was that this engine had been designed for gasoline or high-energy fuel close to gasoline, yet in this era, at least so far, no one else in the room had heard of anything in Great Xia that could completely replace the gasoline from before the Great Cataclysm.
Because Zhang Tie was in such high spirits, even Sun Qiming would not pour cold water over him at this moment by telling him that, even if such an engine could be manufactured, it would be utterly useless.
"Do you have any other questions about this blueprint?" Zhang Tie asked.
The men looked at one another, then shook their heads together. "None!"
"Can you make it?"
They all nodded.
"Good. I'll leave this blueprint to you. Below it is a design for a transfer gear box. You should be able to understand that one, so I won't explain it!" Zhang Tie pointed at Sun Qiming. "In four months, I need one hundred prototype engines and transfer gear boxes. At the same time, I need to see a factory within Torch Dragon Territory capable of producing at least one hundred thousand sets of engines and transfer gear boxes annually. Here are three million gold coins for construction!"
For an engine factory with an annual output of one hundred thousand sets, three million gold coins in construction funds were more than enough.
As he spoke, Zhang Tie unceremoniously pulled out a thick stack of gold notes and handed them, together with the blueprints, to Sun Qiming. Then he said domineeringly
