"Why does shipbuilding take so long?" Li Yuanhong asked casually.
"Shipbuilding is a delicate work. The steel plates of the ship must be welded. There must be no sloppy connection between the various parts and components. There must be no sloppy existence. Once a little sloppy, it may cause the ship to be destroyed. As for Na San, they built a warship, but the boiler’s heat insulation board was made of refractory bricks produced in our country. That thing was not insulated at all. As a result, the group cut corners and changed it without authorization. According to the blueprint, during the sea trial, four of the five boilers burned out, and I turned around and falsely accused us of failing materials."
"Why there is such a thing? Isn't this a big joke!" Li Yuanhong was very surprised!
"So shipbuilding can't be sloppy."
"It would be great if the ship could be modeled as a whole." Zhao Rui muttered next to him.
"What did you say?" Li Yuanhong didn't hear what Zhao Rui said, so he asked again.
"Oh, I mean, if the piercing body can be made into a big mold, then it will be poured directly with molten iron."
Upon hearing these words, the two engineers laughed and said, "Hahaha, Captain Zhao is really joking. It will take a lot of time if you don’t talk about this mold building. Even if you can build this mold, you can’t make such a huge mold. When it comes to the hull, it is especially important to ensure that there are no pores and trachoma in the hull. This is an almost impossible task."
After hearing the words of the two engineers, Li Yuanhong asked, "Isn't it possible to build ships with other materials?"
"Other materials? The reason why modern use steel as the hull is because of the large penetrating body, other materials cannot make such a large boat. In the past, the penetrating body was made of wood, but it was easily destroyed by wind, waves and shells. Fight."
"Can I use ice?" Li Yuanhong suddenly remembered the old ice city wall.
"Use ice? This is feasible, but not feasible!" An engineer replied.
"Why is it feasible and not feasible?" Li Yuanhong asked in wonder?
"During World War II, Britain built ice ships in response to German attacks, but once they went out to sea, they would not work. The engines of all ships had a fatal flaw, which was heating. As a result, the ice ships were melted by the heat they generated. So ice boats are feasible but not feasible. If the problem of engine heating is not solved, it will be impossible to build ice boats that can fight."
Hearing what the engineer said, Li Yuanhong's brain began to turn quickly. After thinking for a while, Li Yuanhong asked the two engineers: "If the engine problem is solved, how long will it take to build an ice boat."
"According to the current weather, it takes a month to build an ice boat, and half a month as quickly as possible, depending on the complexity of the ice boat."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanhong immediately became excited: "Okay, let's build an ice boat, and call me about the engine. You first make some drawings of the ice boat, and we will discuss the feasibility later."
The two engineers looked at Li Yuanhong in a daze, is this person going crazy? We didn't make it clear just now, where would he go to get the hot engine?
Ignoring that the two engineers were still there, Li Yuanhong turned and strode out of the shipyard. Li Yuanhong wanted to find someone to build a non-heating engine as soon as possible. This is about whether we can eradicate pirates in the near future. If we don’t eliminate pirates, our own development will be Restrictions, especially many routes from Vladivostok, are vital routes. Those pirates not only threaten maritime transport, but also seriously threaten land transport, which may completely cut off the route to Vladivostok. This is Li Yuanhong. Unwilling to see.
Riding a griffon, Li Yuanhong hurried back to the valley base. It has been almost a month since I came here. Now it’s busy here. Although it’s winter, the farm built by Santian and Li Yuanhong is still busy. It has become an important industrial and research center. The addition of Dr. Bai brought by the second chief has doubled the strength of the entire scientific research team. Now not only has begun to develop magic guns, but also modern magic guns. The range and power of the magic gun is greater than that of the magic gun of the system, and the magic gun can be fired continuously, which is similar to modern rifles. If these two weapons are successfully developed, Li Yuanhong’s troops can say goodbye to cold weapons and enter completely. In the era of magic weapons, even warriors with no rank can kill zombies of rank ten or higher. That will be the beginning of a counterattack in the true sense of mankind.
When Li Yuanhong walked into the Magic Tower, it was no longer deserted. Apart from the guards, people in white coats would come and go in and out of the laboratory from time to time. These were the assistants of various professors. These people held various materials from time to time, that is, holding reports. A busy scene.
Seeing Li Yuanhong's arrival, the guards hurriedly greeted him: "The captain is here, who are you going to call today?" Li Yuanhong is a busy man, and he will never wander around.
"What is Dr. Yuan up to now?" Li Yuanhong asked.
"Dr. Yuan is doing the final debugging work on the car engine." The guards reported.
"Oh, wait for a while to see Dr. Yuan rest, I'll find something to him."
"Yes, I took it down, I will notify Dr. Yuan in a while." The guard said.
"Okay, I'll go to the rest area to rest for a while, you can pour me a cup of black tea, I am refreshed."
"Yes!" The guard stepped back.
Li Yuanhong came to the rest area and sat down for a while before he fell asleep. The two days were too busy and didn't take a good rest, especially flying in the air, which consumes energy, so he fell asleep as soon as he sat down.
I don’t know how long it took, Li Yuanhong felt that someone was calling him: "Captain, Captain, Dr. Yuan is here!"
Li Yuanhong quickly opened his eyes and saw Dr. Yuan staring at him with a smile. Li Yuanhong quickly rubbed his cheeks with both hands to wake him up, then picked up the tea cup and drank the tea in one breath.
Seeing Li Yuanhong wake up, Dr. Yuan asked, "Little Li, what's the matter when I come here today!"
"That's it. I want Dr. Yuan to study a marine power plant that does not generate heat." Li Yuanhong said straightforwardly.
"A non-heating power unit? What do you want this for?" Dr. Yuan asked curiously.
"I want to build an ice boat!" Li Yuanhong said.
"Ice ship?!" Two voices sounded at the same time, one from Dr. Yuan and the other from behind Li Yuanhong. Li Yuanhong hurriedly looked back and saw an old man with white hair standing behind him, it was Dr. Bai.
When Dr. Bai saw Li Yuanhong watching him, he complained: "What are you guys doing again? The last time I came to my place, I asked me to do some acceptance, which caused me to delay my research time for a long time. Do you know how precious time is now!"
"Isn't this forced by helplessness? If you don't get out of the horse, how could I get out of the rape. This time, I won't disturb your research." Li Yuanhong hurriedly said with a smile. To these old scientists, Li Yuanhong definitely confessed to his ancestors. , I dare not offend the slightest.
"Don't talk nonsense, and quickly talk about the ice boat?"
So Li Yuanhong talked about the pirates, talked about the difficulties of shipbuilding, and talked about his idea of building ice ships.
"I didn't see it, there are still a lot of ideas in your kid's head, why don't you come over and do research with me!" Dr. Bai seduced Li Yuanhong and said.
"Don't, I'm active, not quiet, so don't let me do research." Li Yuanhong quickly told Rao.
"I know that your kid monkey has a temper, and he stays strong within two minutes." Dr. Bai gave Li Yuanhong a big veto, and then turned to Dr. Yuan and said, "I said Lao Yuan, do you think this engine can be used?"
"If I didn’t dare to say before, but now there is rune magic, this kind of engine really can’t be made, it just needs to consume a lot of crystal nuclei, if there is a tenth-order crystal nucleus that this guy said earlier, maybe we can It is not impossible to build a new type of space engine." Dr. Yuan said with emotion.
When mentioning the tenth-order crystal nucleus, Li Yuanhong suddenly remembered the fifty cavemen who had been let go by him. Those were fifty tenth-order crystal nuclei. So he hurriedly said to Dr. Yuan: "I will get the tenth-order crystal core as soon as possible. When can you research the engine?" Li Yuanhong was afraid that Dr. Yuan would give a promise for two or three years. In that case, everything would be cold. Up!
"Lao Bai, can you tell him a few days?" Dr. Yuan looked at Dr. Bai and asked.
"This is a new challenge. I think I will give him a longer time. We don't just have to build an engine." Dr. Bai said.
Li Yuanhong sighed in his heart, and secretly said: "It's over, this time can't be delayed for five years!"
"Then one month! Look, how is Lao Bai?"
Dr. Bai nodded, and then said: "Then one month!"
At this time, Li Yuanhong was completely relieved, and his heart was so tossed up and down. Li Yuanhong estimated that he would stay here, and sooner or later would have a heart attack, so he hurriedly left.
Li Yuanhong left the laboratory and went straight back to Spring City. Li Yuanhong has already promised to get the tenth order crystal nucleus. This is not something that can be obtained by moving his mouth. Now he knows that the place where there is a tenth order crystal nucleus is the grassland of Mongolia. , There are now zombies and cavemen fighting. It’s not easy to catch fish in troubled waters. Therefore, to complete this task, you must find a way, and it may not be completed in a short time. Therefore, Li Yuanhong has to settle his own interior, don’t do it As soon as I left, there was a rebellion again. I was just a little bit close last time and lost my lair.
Li Yuanhong called the heads of the various departments together, and then said: "Everyone has been working hard recently, but this is the end of the world. I hope everyone will not relax. If you have to communicate more, if you encounter difficulties, you will be more than alone. , Mobilize the wisdom of the people below. By the way, Liu Hu, how is the law and order now?"
"The law and order is okay, but there have been some vagrants making trouble recently, and often we rush over, these vagrants ran away without catching them several times."
"Don't underestimate these troublemakers. Once the bad guy can't get the punishment he deserves, then he may become bolder, and then he may kill and set fire in the city. I guess these people are capable people. You can organize a special ability. The squad, deal with these capable people, and you have to work closely with Ma Fengyong. He has a lot of intelligence you can use for public security. Don’t forget to collect intelligence. This will help prevent problems before they happen."
"It's Brother Li, I took it down." Liu Hu nodded.
"Commander Xiao, how's your recruit training going?"
"That group of recruits, eggs, skins, if they want to go to the battlefield, it will take two or three months."
"Well, it’s relatively cold here in winter, and the machine is inconvenient to operate. Just take advantage of this time to train the army. In addition, you can break the army into parts and go to the surrounding cities of Siping to collect the scattered zombies. This can help us the next step. Actions can be used to pave the way, and you can also train the courage of the recruits."
"Good idea, I will make arrangements later!" Commander Xiao said happily.
"By the way, is there any news from Fan Junjie and Shen Mengxi?"
"He is fighting on both sides, but the effect is not good, and the loss is relatively large. However, it should not be a problem to win the corresponding city."
"Hey, it seems that they underestimated the enemy too!" Li Yuanhong sighed.
