Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The gun matter has come to an end, the bullets and the Transvaal's batch of guns will be the first by Christian to fight with them, anyway, now the guns are not in a hurry, and the bullets are not a problem, if the price is low, buy a million more, and if it is more expensive, buy a million less, and the same as the Transvaal's batch of guns, the price still has to be slowly grinded, and this effort depends on Christian.

It was already August, Yang Rui had translated all the German textbooks, the infrastructure of the military academy was roughly completed, and the foundation of the two-story Western-style office building had been repaired, and the thatched military school could accommodate 300 students at the same time. The students also quickly adapted to the environment and began to adapt to the strict teaching of the German instructors. There are nine artillerymen, three each for engineers, three for quartermaster, three for surveying and mapping, two for military doctors, and the remaining twenty for infantry and cavalry, and these two arms can be combined in the northeast. Now we will start with a half-day theory class, a half-day practical class, and Yang Rui's German and political classes will be put in the evening. The students all followed their respective instructors, and Yang Rui was responsible for leading the three students of the political department.

Yang Rui sat on the edge of the shooting range, looking at the letter written by Wang Jitong. The Su report case has finally been settled, and the fate should be saved, and the arrested people will not at least be dragged by the Qing court to Nanjing or some other place to be executed, and the courts in the concession still have to talk about some laws, and they will be sentenced to life at most, and they can be released after the success of the revolution, which is only a matter of seven or eight years.

Yang Rui had no idea of the impact of the Su Bao case on history: he did not know that the repressive policies of the Qing court had caused intellectuals who had previously dared not speak out to advocate for revolution; I don't know that it was this case that caused newspapers that did not dare to openly oppose Manchu to begin to have direct anti-Manchu remarks; I don't know that because of this case, the Military and National Education Association in Tokyo was disbanded and reorganized, and finally became a complete anti-Qing organization, from which the Liberation Society and the Huaxing Society were born; It is not known that Zou Rong, who was only 18 years old in this case, died of illness after being imprisoned for a year. It can be said that, with the exception of some party members with the character of the underworld on the side of the Xingzhong Society, and some overseas Chinese who hoped to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, the revolution in China officially began because of this incident. With the increase in the number of students studying in Japan, the revolutionary forces began to grow, and with the return movement of the revolutionary students in Japan, the revolution began to turn into a spark that spread throughout China, waiting for a raging flame to ignite one day.

In fact, it is common sense not to know this, as an ordinary person, who will seriously and carefully understand the dark and obscure history of the late Qing Dynasty, what they know is the League, what they know is Sun Wen Huangxing, and the heroes of the uprising, for the revolutionaries because of whom, because of what, so that everyone began to decide to revolution, is not remembered.

In addition to the good news of the Su Bao case, other things are all good, the chlor-alkali plant has been put into trial operation, the quality of hydrochloric acid and caustic soda is better than that of imports, and the cost is lower, after seeing the factory put into operation, the previous order of hydrochloric acid delayed for two months was sold, and at the same time sent someone to negotiate the acquisition, which was shirked by Yu Huizu according to the method discussed before, because the name of the registered factory leader is an American, and Bu Neimen did not dare to make a mistake, and planned to sell the caustic soda products of the factory with full authority. This matter was also shirked for the same reason, in the end the two sides just reached a price alliance, that is, at a price of more than 110 yuan per ton to sell caustic soda, this time Yu Huizu is not good to shirk again, so let Yu Qiaqing and Dinghai Zhu Baosan come forward to negotiate, this Zhu Baosan is the leader of the Ningbo merchant gang in Shanghai, has always been fair, faithful, and good friends with Yuan Shuxun of the Taoist, is the consul of various countries also to give face to the figure, this time to see foreign businessmen bullying Chinese businessmen and Yu Qiaqing came forward to invite, he happily came forward, In the end, the two parties only verbally agreed and implemented the agreed price, and did not sign the written word.

Now it's just a caustic soda and that's it, if you want to get a synthetic ammonia and that joint alkali production project in the future, then don't hit the door. There is some information on synthetic ammonia and combined alkali production in high school chemistry books, and Yang Rui was originally ready to go on the synthetic ammonia project after the monosodium glutamate industry was basically stabilized and the chlor-alkali plant was expanded again, but now it seems that this synthetic ammonia is still very dangerous in Shanghai. Where can I put it? Yang Rui's current industrial base is 6 lines, and light industry and chemical industry are ready to be built there, and he is also ready to feed heavy industry with light industry and chemical industry. Because the iron ore and coal mines in Tonghua are relatively close, just to meet the needs of the base area, although the ammunition and gun factories have been added, the investment should be within 3 million; However, the Huainan Coal Mine and the Ma'anshan Iron Mine will join forces to build a coal and iron consortium, and the investment will be more than 12 million, how can so much money come from, it is unrealistic to rely on the collection of shares, and once their own shares are less, then the factory will easily lose its control rights, and the construction of this coal and iron base will not only be eyed by the British, but also the Japanese will definitely intervene, and loans and the like are the most common means, and this is how the Hanyang Iron Works was disabled.

But to make money, nothing faster than the chemical industry, monosodium glutamate and chlor-alkali is proof, of course, the mine is also good, Changxing Coal Mine got the approval of the General Administration of Mines and Roads in early July, and the silver was not much, and it only cost two thousand taels to routinely dot up and down, of course, this is to sell Zhang Jian's face, or it is 20,000 taels and I don't know if it is enough. The German engineers arrived at the beginning of August, because there had been a prospecting report from the Americans - Yang Rui sent a fake - they only had to be responsible for planning and construction, because it was the work of the Americans - the Germans thought that the previous investors wanted to cooperate with the Americans, and they were working very the territory of the British.

Under the guns of the factory security patrol, Yu Qiaqing quickly incorporated these workers and soil mine owners, and the workers immediately became better treated coal miners, and the soil mine owners either received a sum of money and left, or counted a small share, and became a small foreman in the newly built coal mine, almost all the soil mine owners were determined to participate in the shares, of course, the reason why they chose this way was not to believe in Yang Rui's financial transparency system- They don't understand what financial transparency is at all, but believe that this mine is led by the champion public, will the champion guild deceive people, and according to the regulations of the Mining and Road Bureau, every coal mine must run a road and mining school, and the children of miners will be given priority to enroll, and they can study under the door of the champion prince, but it is a blessing for several lifetimes. The people who heard the news quickly filled the vacancies for the recruitment, and these workers worked very hard. According to Yu Qiaqing's estimate, coal will be produced by the Spring Festival at the latest, and if it is a good time, the coal mine will be able to reach its design output before the rainy season next year, and as for the second phase of the project, it will be a matter later.

Wang Jitong's letter was very long, in addition to the important things such as the Su Bao case, chlor-alkali, and coal mines, Wang Jitong also wrote some other things, but these were all within the previous plan, and it was just a matter of achieving the goal and completing it. Of course, in addition to these plaintext letters, there were also a few pieces of stationery covered with passwords, and these things would not be known until Yang Rui returned to the room and passed the codebook.

The improved mortar shells are being tested in the shooting range, although Yang Rui is not a military fan, not even a pseudo-military fan, but he has watched a lot of movies, so he will naturally whimsically move those things here, and put forward opinions on many things in the military school, these Germans have experienced the guerrilla warfare of the Boers, and at the same time, the communication between Leo and Yang Rui is also very good, and some of Yang Rui's suggestions are still acceptable as long as they are not too far ahead. Seeing that everything he knew could be used was implemented, Yang Rui shifted his direction and put his mind on weapons, camouflage uniforms, sapper shovels, grenades, mortars, mines, these things that ordinary people in the 21st century know were put forward.

Trench warfare has already appeared in the Boer War, but because the Boers are too weak, the logistical supply is also very limited, and the British army won without much confrontation, so the trench warfare is not widely known, only the skirmish line and guerrilla warfare are widely publicized in the newspapers, which has attracted widespread attention from various countries. In the era when trench warfare had not yet appeared on a large scale, artillery instructor Werner was not interested in Yang Rui's mortar, on the grounds that the power was too small and the firing range was too short, but the cavalry instructor Schroeder was very interested after hearing it. Because of this. Horses can be carried directly, and artillery regardless of terrain is very suitable for maneuvering, although the range is not long, but it is better than nothing. So in between classes, a mortar research group was formed, and Werner, an artillery instructor, was also pulled in. Yang Rui is indeed a military novice, his memory of the mortar comes from the TV series clip of the Eighth Route Army killing Abe Guixiu in Taihang Mountain, I only remember that the mortar is a tube with a few feet, and then the pointed shell with a tail is put in, and with another bang, the shell is discharged, and then the flower of the empire withers on Taihang Mountain.

In the face of Yang Rui, an extremely unreliable fantasist, the rigorous Germans quickly realized the blank in his fantasy, but there are still many problems with the mortar designed and manufactured according to Yang Rui, the biggest problem is that the gas leaks out except for the lack of accuracy, because the shell has to slide into the muzzle, the shell must be smaller than the barrel, and the gap between this makes the gunpowder gas leak out, and the cannon is not clear enough, and the firing range is only more than 500 meters. The shell was processed again to reduce the gap between the cannon wall and the barrel wall, but the effect was not very good, after all, the gap should not be too small, otherwise the shell would not be able to slide down smoothly. Yang Rui was speechless about this result, and he didn't understand why so many people, referring to traversers, waved at mortars, which had no technical content, but he was stumped by this broken thing. Under the suspicious gaze, Yang Rui shrank in the room, turned on the computer, and searched through all the time-traveling novels without finding the answer, and in the recollection over and over again, he finally recalled the details that he had ignored before-the mortar shell in the TV series has several horizontal stripes in the most convex place, whether these horizontal stripes are related to gas leakage, there will be an answer today.

"Yang... Yang ...... "Schroeder rode a horse from afar and shouted loudly, Yang Rui thought that something had happened to him, didn't he test the cannon in the mountains just now - Lorens Marques because it is a grassland, so there are no mountains, in order to be afraid that the sound of the cannon will alarm outsiders, especially the Portuguese governor in the city, the shooting range is located in the woods not far west of the manor-Yang Rui did not see the actual effect of this test firing, and he didn't know what the situation was when he saw Schroeder.

Schroeder stopped in front of Yang Rui and said with a smile: "Yang, very good, after the improvement, the range has increased to more than eight hundred meters." Yang Rui also laughed when he heard this, and he continued: "Werner said that those trenches can also be improved, and after improvement, the ammunition will be adjusted, and the next time it can hit a kilometer away." ”

Yang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that memories are still useful, although this only solves the problem of air leakage, as for the accuracy, it is up to Werner, a professional artilleryman, to improve. There are other things that Yang Rui can only hand over to others, such as the fuse problem of grenades and mines, which he cannot solve, and must have professional technicians to conduct research. These things will be used in the country in the future, and these technical materials should be prepared as soon as possible to facilitate domestic production. Speaking of the military industry, Yang Rui hopes more and more that Mr. Hua Feng can join the revival association, as long as he joins, then the ammunition and gunpowder problem can be solved, and the military industry problem is half solved, and only the matter of gun production remains. But it is still a little difficult for such an engineer who has received the emperor's favor to rebel, and if the conversation is not good, then it is likely to break up unhappily. Yang Rui wanted to know what was in the secret letter, and whether the previous plan was progressing smoothly.

After dinner, Yang Rui returned to his room and began to translate letters. The content of the letter is very long, and there are a lot of things to say, Tanzhou has been arranged, and after getting acquainted, we will further investigate the Zhu family, who is Yu Zhimo Yang Rui has not heard of it, it is estimated that it is a small fish and shrimp, and Yang Rui of the domestic revolutionary party has only heard of Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, Chen Tianhua, Qiu Jin, and some big minions in the new army, such as Cai Yi, Jiang Fangzhen, etc., and other people don't know. No matter who this Yu Zhimo is, as long as he can establish a foothold in Tanzhou and then find a way to sneak into the Zhu family to understand the situation, as for how to convince that, that is the next step.

The Shanghai Cantonese Dialect School is also progressing smoothly, two students have joined the club, and more students have begun to have planned activities, but what is different from the previous imagination is that there is also a craft school in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, with fifty students, divided into chemistry and machinery, which can be regarded as a real technical school, and the Cantonese dialect school can only be regarded as its subordinate school. Wang Jitong has shifted his focus to the craft school. The construction of the mechanical room has also begun, and several sets of diesel and gasoline engines have been purchased from Germany and are being studied. said that he was researching, but Yang Rui knew that it was all for show, and this room was not something that ordinary people could play, so he could only see the world.
