If Yang Yuanzhao knew Linus's thoughts, he would definitely laugh and cry, the Northwest is rich, the industrial miracle caused by 4 years, the products sold to the whole world, the name of the world's factory, 100 years in advance, on the head of the Northwest, China's market is very large, but the world market is bigger, not to mention that there are drugs and polymer materials These two suction weapons, ordinary sulfonamides can be worth 5 US dollars a pill, a pair of extremely light and thin nylon socks, this thing will be in the future generations, It may be a few cents or a dollar, in this era when nylon has not yet been discovered, it is simply a favorite of women, 15 dollars, 25 dollars, and even the most expensive black silk, as high as 55 dollars, in this era when the average salary in the United States is only one or twenty dollars, the profit of a pair of socks is simply terrible.

It is these industries that have allowed the Northwest to hoard a large amount of money, and some of the prophetic exchanges have become gold, and the world on the gold standard, whether it is Britain or the United States, can be exchanged for gold, as long as the quantity is not too large, and the rest are basically buying cheap raw materials from various countries, enclosing land, in short, leaving no cash.

There is a war coming soon, and it is the First World War, an epoch-making war that can go down in history, which completely weakened several powers, eliminated two great powers, and directly affected world finance.

Knowing that this currency is going to depreciate, he will reserve him, which is something that no one will do, if it can be exchanged for gold, it will be exchanged for gold, and if it cannot be exchanged for gold, it will be exchanged for something that will be destined to appreciate in this war, which is also a risk aversion, this time to go to Europe to throw money, it seems that the wealth is rich, in fact, it still adheres to the previous principle, whether it is a large number of machines, or raw materials, or those second-hand ships, they will all appreciate sharply in the future, if it is not for the bad credit of the United Kingdom, He would even order a batch of destroyers in England, knowing that in the face of Germany's infinite submarine warfare, no battleship and capital ship were as important as this destroyer, which was only one or two thousand tons.

Looking at Yang Yuanzhao with an arrogant face, Linus was a little speechless, but there was no way, the rich man was capricious, he opened his mouth, and finally held back a sentence: "There are things that cannot be solved by money!" ”

"No problem!" Yang Yuanzhao did not answer Linus's question, but said with some unanswerable questions.

"What's okay?"

"Is it okay?" Yang Yuanzhao said again, his attitude was particularly solemn, Linus looked at Yang Yuanzhao with a straight face, the technology of the 15-inch gun, there is no problem, the material that restricts its appearance is always the material, when the strength and toughness of the material meet the requirements of cannon steel, the rest is not a problem.

"That's right, as long as you get to Qingdao, you can get it, but the initial number jù, the later one, it takes time!" Yang Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment, he thought that in order to produce a qualified 15-inch running gun barrel, after electroslag treatment of the 14-inch gun, the strength is still not enough, and the carbon doping technology in the gun barrel must be used.

However, the construction of a battleship will take at least 1 year, and the installation of weapons will only be carried out after the theme is completed and launched, so that it will take almost two years, with a professional like Linus, plus the advantages of the Northwest in materials, even if the materials are taken out now, they are enough to support 14 inches, or even 14.5 inches of artillery, and if you really take 10,000 steps back, 14.5 inches can be. The most important thing is that there is also the technique of self-shrinking, but that is even more unfamiliar to Yang Yuanzhao, just knowing a general theory, it really needs to be studied, and it also takes time.

"The first number of jù, and now you can get the finished product?" Linus looked at Yang Yuanzhao dumbfounded, not that he didn't believe what Yang Yuanzhao said, but because it was too unbelievable, from the launch of the first Helgoland class, Germany completed the research on the 12-inch gun, and in 1909 it almost completed the 12-inch run, but from 1909 to 1912, 3 years, there was still no shadow of the 13-inch gun, and even in history, by 1914, the completion of the King-class, the 13-inch gun still had no shadow, the most important battleship of Germany in World War I, All of them were 12-inch guns, which were inferior to the British 13.5, 14, and even 15-inch guns.

"What are you doing here?" Before Linus could say anything, the door was pushed open again, Fabian entered the room with a blank face, the previous half a month of research, it can be said that it took a lot of energy, unlike Linus and Harvey, he is in charge of the overall situation, every simple adjustment, he needs to be adjusted from the height of the overall situation, to ensure that this adjustment is maximized, without affecting the whole, it can be said that after completing the drawing, he is familiar with every part of the drawing.

It is precisely because of familiarity that he feels that it is too difficult to achieve this, power, protection, naval guns, and even some small water pipes, those materials that he understands, but in Yang Yuanzhao's information, the table is so perfect, sealing, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, these are perfect materials, will there be, because of this, among the three designers, only he really thinks that this fantasy level is really a fantasy level, at least within 10 years, it will not appear, that is, a fantasy in his heart, Let him design a battleship that leads the world.

But when he was called here, he saw that Harvey had already sat down to draw drawings, and after a glance, he knew that it was the engineering drawings of the power system, and it was not enough to make a design drawing, and he really wanted to be an engineer, thinking everyone was too idle?

"It seems that I came to the wrong place, I won't go crazy with you, you are busy, I will leave first!" Fabian turned around and was about to go out, but was blocked at the door by Yang Yuanzhao, who was one step faster, he looked at Fabian and said solemnly: "Fabian, if we make a plan according to this, what do we need to prepare?" ”

"Are you kidding if you plan to do this? No preparation, it's completely impossible! Fabian looked at Yang Yuanzhao with a slight sneer, he didn't know what he wanted to do, this ship was extremely powerful, but there was no possibility of building it at all.

"Now that the ship's guns and power system have been solved, I don't know if there are any other problems?"

"Naval guns and power?" Fabian felt that his brain seemed to be in a moment, a little unable to turn up, Harvey's professional ability, he admired it very much, in the previous exchange, he also saw Yang Yuanzhao's professionalism in power, if this ship, the easiest to achieve, and the most likely place to achieve, is on the power, he even thought, if he saw some diesel boilers and power in Qingdao, maybe he could choose to let the Northwest participate in the power of the next level of German battleships, as long as a certain percentage was raised, Instead of 116,000 horsepower, as long as it is increased to 50,000 horsepower, it is a huge improvement for the next class of German battleships, which is extremely likely.

But the naval artillery, I haven't heard of any breakthrough in Linus, his eyes looked at Linus, Linus said a little embarrassed: "Mr. Yang said that the ready-made materials are in Qingdao, which is the original material!" ”

Fabian thought for a moment and was moved, the original material, which is the basis of all their naval gun designs, the performance and all aspects of the indicators are marked, and there are even some metal characteristics, at that time he was still puzzled, why there is such a comprehensive number jù, this is similar to a real thing, later, carbon doping technology and gun barrel plating processing, these slightly illusory things came out, he put the initial suspicion aside, now think about it, if there is no number of cannon steel, Why did Yang Yuanzhao so recognize the design of basic materials?

Is it all true? Fabian couldn't believe the qiē in front of him, the attitudes of Harvey and Linus all proved his doubts, under the premise that the power and artillery were solved, there was almost no zài problem left, nothing more than to reduce some combat effectiveness, such as the number of guns, speed, etc., the feasibility of such a ship has greatly increased, even if it can only exert the perfect firepower of the fantasy class 70, such a battleship is definitely epoch-making and can go down in history.

Fabian's heart beat wildly for some reason, and he went down in history and engraved his name in the history of the world's warships, such an opportunity was really in front of him, which he had never thought of. Even for the first time, Fabian was a little unable to control his body, stretched out his hand a few times in a row, and felt a little unable to grasp something, and finally when Yang Yuanzhao helped him up, he asked with a slight trembling: "Really, is it really feasible?" ”

"Really, as long as we arrive in Qingdao, everything is in front of everyone, what we have to do is to do the preliminary work, this point, you are an expert!"

Fabian looked around, especially Harvey and Linus, their eyes were also full of anticipation, and suddenly a passion that had never been felt before burst out, clenched Yang Yuanzhao's hand, and said, "Then let's go crazy!" ”

A few pairs of hands in the next, tightly held together, the famous invincible battleship in the First World War, as simple as that, in the bar of a cruise ship, completed the initial foundation work, three legendary designers and the magical leader, China's President Yang stood together, together opened the era of this perfect battleship, and at this moment, it is still unknown, just like the ancient Chinese mythological story, three years without a sound, a blockbuster, they are all accumulating strength together.
