The steam turbine uses the impeller to do the work, but the impeller itself is difficult to do it, the blade of the impeller is a complex space surface, in its own time, the processing of the blade is done by a high-precision five-axis linkage machine tool, now there is no CNC machine tool at all, if you want to process the complex space surface, you can only let the skilled craftsman manually process a little bit, the processing speed is extremely slow, not to mention, whether it can be processed is still in two words.

Lin Fei sighed, crossed out the tempting name of the steam turbine, and re-wrote the "three-expansion steam engine", Lin Fei had always wanted to improve the steam engine of the Zamboanga Steam Engine Factory, but time did not allow it, but now there is plenty of time, and there is also time to make technical improvements to the steam engine, so Lin Fei wrote down the technical improvement plan.

The size of the ship's hull and the power system were written, Lin Fei began to prepare the weapon system, at this time, the Dragon-class cruiser was equipped with 120 mm rapid-fire guns, although the rate of fire of the guns was amazing, and it also had an advantage when fighting the Japanese, but in the face of the British battleships, the 120 mm naval guns were simply toys, and the shells of this kind of naval guns could not touch the British battleships at all, and the 343 mm main gun shells of the Sovereign-class could beat the Dragon-class cruisers to the point that they lost their combat effectiveness and even sank into the sea.

What's even worse is that the 343 mm naval guns have an extremely long range, and they can attack outside the range of the 120 mm naval guns, and if the British adopt appropriate tactics, they will fall into the dilemma of being beaten and unable to fight back, so Lin Fei decided to install larger caliber guns on the new battleship.

It was too unrealistic to directly launch artillery with a caliber of more than 300 mm, so Lin Fei designed the caliber of the new battleship at 240 mm, which was also quite high.

The caliber of the artillery is set at 240 mm, and the automatic loader must be considered, the shells of the 120 mm naval guns are still within the range of manpower, and the shells of the 240 mm naval guns are no longer carried by manpower, and the automatic loader must be used.

The caliber of the artillery was set, and the improvement of the shell was also written into the plan, at this time Lin Fei had the armor-piercing bullet and the blasting projectile, Lin Fei planned to make the armor-piercing blasting projectile, this kind of shell is a combination of armor-piercing bullet and blasting projectile, which can explode inside the hull after penetrating the armor, the biggest technical difficulty of this kind of shell is that the impact force is extremely strong at the moment of armor piercing, and the impact force is very likely to destroy the projectile body, so that the shell cannot explode after entering the hull.

Lin Fei knew a lot about armor-piercing explosive bullets, so he wrote down the relevant technical schemes, but Lin Fei did not dare to guarantee that his current industrial strength could create armor-piercing explosive bombs, so Lin Fei wrote down the scheme of a new type of armor-piercing bullet, in the new armor-piercing bullet, the warhead is made of tungsten, tungsten is a high-hardness and high-density metal, and the first choice of armor-piercing bullet materials in Lin Fei's era.

The country with the highest tungsten reserves in the world is precisely the Qing Dynasty, and Taiwan was already the territory of the Chinese Empire at this time, so Lin Fei decided to use Taiwan as a transit point to transport tungsten ore.

The fire control system is also an important part of the weapon system, Lin Fei has an absolute advantage in this regard, because at this time all countries in the world have not realized the importance of the fire control system, they all rely on the experience of the gunner to fire, Lin Fei then wrote down a new type of fire control computer program, the new fire control computer will be driven by electricity, by the mechanical parts to perform fire control calculations.

Lin Fei finished writing the main systems of the big warship and began to evaluate the feasibility of the plan, at this time the Chinese Empire had a population of more than 8 million, an industrial population of more than 500,000, and factories in Yanhuangcheng, Wuduancheng, Kotabatar, Zamboanga and Manila, which covered many fields such as steel smelting, mechanical processing, and chemical industry.

The construction of the Dragon-class cruisers has accumulated rich experience in shipbuilding and cultivated excellent shipbuilding talents, and in time, the big warships will definitely be able to cruise in the sea.

During the evaluation process, Lin Fei realized that the design and construction of these systems would require the cooperation of various factories, which would require the transportation of personnel and materials between factories, so the construction of the railway was imminent.

The capacity of the railway is incomparable to the road, there is no doubt about it, at this time the Chinese Empire, only in the vicinity of Dayu City there are some Spaniards built railway, the capacity can not meet the requirements, Lin Fei then arranged for the factory to build the tracks, arrange for the railway technicians from Taiwan to train the installation of rails, railway operation talents.

Lin Fei has been busy until late at night, the next day, and went to the generator factory in Dayu City to inspect, Lin Fei bought a batch of generators early, and improved the generator, so that it can be used in steel smelting, electric furnace steelmaking is a more advanced steel smelting method, the use of electric furnace to refine the steel mechanical properties are excellent.

After inspecting the generator factory, Lin Fei went to Huaxia University to inspect, at this time Huaxia University has recruited a group of experts and scholars, there are more than 100 people, of which ninety percent are Mistizo, Mistizo is the descendants of Chinese and Filipinos, many of them went abroad to receive a good education, after the establishment of the Chinese Empire, Lin Fei recruited these people into the university to teach.

There are about 3,000 students at Huaxia University, and almost all of them are the smartest people in the factories, and Lin Fei values these students very much, because they will be his right-hand men in designing and manufacturing weapons in the future.

The curriculum of Huaxia University is terrifying, each student has to learn nearly 100 courses, including the most basic mathematics, physics, chemistry, English, the reason why you want to learn English, because in this era, Britain is an old industrial power, the United States is one of the countries with the fastest development of new technologies, and learning English can obtain more knowledge.

Taking mechanical design as an example, in addition to learning mathematical foundations such as calculus, linear algebra, and probability theory, you also need to learn theoretical mechanics, material mechanics, materials science, rigid body kinematics, and so on.

Lin Fei hopes that these students can help themselves in the shortest possible time, and sets the semester as two years, and encourages students to graduate early through self-study, and after graduation, they can enter the National Design Institute, which is an institution dedicated to assisting Lin Fei, Lin Fei definitely does not have time to draw drawings and calculate by himself when designing and manufacturing advanced weapons, so Lin Fei only writes out the key points of weapon design, and other non-critical places are handed over to the National Design Institute.

These students used to live in poverty, but now Lin Fei has given them the opportunity to study, and they are all so active that they study hard every day except for eating and sleeping.

Lin Fei divided the warship construction plan into various sub-plans and handed them over to various units to realize, among which the electric furnace steelmaking plant in Yanhuangcheng was responsible for smelting the steel needed by the warship; Rubber plantations on the island of Cebu provide rubber; Zamboanga's steam engine factory was responsible for the development of new steam engines and supporting propellers; The artillery factory in Yanhuangcheng was responsible for the development of 240-mm naval guns, etc.

After Lin Fei assigned the sub-plans, he plunged headlong into the National Design Institute and roughly described the techniques he mastered, while his subordinates drew more specific drawings and calculated the numbers.

The entire Chinese Empire has entered a busy state like Lin Fei, building railways and power plants, and Lin Fei's recruitment work is also carried out on a large scale, and the recruits are mainly various skilled craftsmen, among which the Dutch East Indies is the top priority of recruitment, and the Dutch East Indies are the Indonesia of Lin Fei's era, including Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Sumatra, Java and other places.

Lin Fei played the banner of "Chinese country" when recruiting, this banner has a strong temptation for the Chinese in the Dutch East Indies, Indonesia was a Dutch colony at this time, and the Chinese in the colony were squeezed out by the Dutch colonists and local natives, and had a strong sense of belonging to the "Chinese country" of the Chinese Empire, so they came to vote.

Lin Fei and the United Kingdom signed a free trade agreement, the British will not let go, Lin Fei purchased a lot of industrial equipment from the United Kingdom, these equipment are eliminated by the British, this situation is very similar to the era of Lin Fei, foreign countries are their own eliminated things sold to Lin Fei's country, as for good things, foreigners keep their own, will definitely not sell. Although those devices were eliminated by the British, they were also very helpful to Lin Fei, so Lin Fei bought them one by one.

Lin Fei set up the Qing Trading Corporation in Penghu, and appointed Xu Xiang, a wealthy businessman in Taiwan, as the general governor.

There are many important minerals in the Qing Dynasty, such as tungsten ore, tungsten is the raw material for the manufacture of armor-piercing bullets, Lin Fei naturally has to buy a large number of ores, and there are many non-ferrous metal elements of ores, such as molybdenum, vanadium, etc., these elements are added to the steelmaking water, can play a role in quenching and tempering, many of the functions are not mastered by all countries in the world, these are Lin Fei's mastered "unique skills", he learned a lot of knowledge in this area when he studied materials science.

Everything about building the battleship was going on in an orderly manner, and on December 22nd, Chiyo Mika finally returned, she still looked like a five or six-year-old child, and she was very happy to see Lin Fei, although she didn't remember what happened between her and Lin Fei, but she felt very close to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei and Ling Xue worked hard for a long time, and finally coaxed Chiyo Meixiang to sit in front of Huang Feihong, and obediently stretched out his hand to let Huang Feihong diagnose the pulse, Huang Feihong put his hand on her wrist, his face gradually became heavy, and he didn't let go of his hand, sighed, and said to Lin Fei: "Your Majesty, I'm really sorry, I don't know how to diagnose and treat." ”

Although Lin Fei was disappointed, he was not surprised, he first said "It's okay", and then asked, "Then Master Huang, do you know which famous doctor can treat her?" ”
