Even if there is a history of Xu Shou and Hua Yufang manufacturing Huang Hao, the shipbuilding of Anqing Ordnance Institute eventually turned to the military industry, and the establishment of the Mawei Shipbuilding Bureau made most of the shipbuilding professionals from Mawei, and now Wei Han, Zheng Qinglian, Chen Zhaoao and Yang Lianchen of Mawei Shipyard are the first batch of students sent by Mawei Shipyard to France to study shipbuilding. ≤ although these people came to process and build China's first ironclad ship, this ship not only failed to select the type, but also built it very poorly, so that the hull was heavy, the freeboard was too low, and there were frequent breakdowns at the beginning of the sea trial.

In Yang Rui's concept, these old students could only build merchant ships, and only some apprentices sent out at that time, such as Guo Ruiqi, Qiu Guoan, Liu Maoxun, Chen Kehui, Ye Dianshuo, Zhang Qizheng, etc., could be used. People in the early years of Guangxu don't need it, so before the students sent out by themselves come back, they can only borrow Zhu Tiankui, who went to study in the first seven years of Shenwu, and Liao Jingfang, Zeng Yiding, Ye Zaifu, Zeng Yijing, Guo Xifen, Wang Zhu, Ba Yuzao and others who were sent to the UK three years before Shenwu.

Chen Zaofan was also one of the students sent by Shenwu to study in Britain in the first three years, and like some other students, he also had an extraordinary family background: he was the nephew of Chen Zhaoao, one of the first students in Mawei. However, unlike Ye Fangzhe (great-nephew of Beiyang Admiral Ye Zuqi) and Shen Chengdong (grandson of Mawei founder Shen Baozhen), who were purely gilded, Chen Zaofan's course was acceptable during his time in the UK, and more importantly, he was indifferent to his human nature, and appointing him as the factory director could not only stabilize the old Min lineage, but also enable the newcomers to show their strengths.

In the humid autumn in the south of the Yangtze River, Yang Rui and his entourage hurried to the Nanjing Shipyard, although after two years of construction. However, the civil work at the foot of the mountain has not yet been completely completed, and the autumn rain hits the new soil and cement prefabricated parts dug up on the side of the road. Half of the buildings built on the side of the road were temporarily suspended because of his arrival. The workers were all gone, except for soldiers with guns and raincoats occupying the heights of the scaffolding. The infrastructure is not finished, but the road is extremely flat, and the black road should be covered with a layer of asphalt, and the carriage walks on it very quietly.

It's quiet outside the carriage, and it's quiet inside the carriage. Unlike Yang Rui, Xu Huafeng has visited the four industrial parks under construction in the country several times this year, and he has come to Nanjing a lot. Needless to say, he has a clear understanding of the work process in various parts of the industrial park, especially the hydraulic press that cost more than 3 million taels to buy, 3 million taels to transport and install, and hundreds of lives. He is now happy that Yang Rui has vigorously invested money in industry, knowing that the investment in the entire Nanjing Industrial Park is equivalent to a dreadnought, and if the more than 10 million taels are placed in the Qianqing Dynasty, it is really not to think about it.

Xu Huafeng was fortunate that the carriage turned left and drove into a thirty-meter-wide avenue. The road surface was also paved with asphalt, and it was black and shiny in the rain, and the shipyard gate suddenly opened up, and an ancient man more than two meters high, with a high crown and a sword, stood on a large sailboat. The Tiger insignia on the bow of the ship is somewhat similar to that used in the Navy today. Seeing Yang Rui's gaze resting on this statue, Chen Zaofan smiled and said, "Prime Minister, this is the statue of the Three Treasures Eunuch." ”

"Eunuch of the Three Treasures?" When Yang Rui first heard his name, he didn't turn a corner for a while. Only Xu Huafeng knew that Yang Rui's Chinese studies were weak. immediately added: "It is Zheng He, who went to the West seven times during the Yongle period." More than 500 years ago, the Daming treasure ship was built in Nanjing, and now Nanjing has a shipyard. So it's best to give him a statue after thinking about it. ”

Yang Rui, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, didn't know, but Zheng He had heard of it. As he nodded, he suddenly thought of the tiger emblem again, and immediately asked, "Is the tiger head emblem on the warship also on the treasure ship?" ”

"It's exactly what the treasure ship uses. However, there are no horns on the tiger's head, and this thing should actually be called a dragon and tiger beast! Xu Hua said: "The Japanese Navy put the emperor's family emblem chrysanthemum on the bow, and after we removed the dragon emblem of the former Qing Dynasty on the ironclad ship, we always felt that it was too monotonous, and the shipyard thought of adding such a dragon and tiger beast." Since ancient times, the bow of the official ship has been a dragon and a tiger beast, one is to deter the small, and the other is to show the majesty of the country, how can there be a flying dragon in the bow of the ...... of the ship."

Xu Huafeng had a lot of resentment towards the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Yang Rui laughed when he heard it. Xu Huafeng said that when Zheng He's treasure ship, the carriage had already arrived at the forging workshop, and the hydraulic press was inside. In the briefing given by Chen Zaofan, according to the Gantt chart, it takes four months to install the hydraulic press and four months to debug, which means that the machine is now half installed.

At the door of the 30-meter-high steel frame workshop, more than ten people including Zhu Tiankui, deputy director of the shipyard, Wang Jixu, and Chen Shishi, engineers, were waiting. Because Yang Rui didn't like to welcome him, when the carriage had just arrived at the door of the workshop, a few of them pretended to just come out of the workshop. After Yang Rui got out of the car, he didn't notice that these people were waiting for him, but looked up at this extremely high factory: "This is the tallest factory in China, right?" ”

"Exactly." Xu Huafeng nodded, handed Yang Rui a rattan helmet and a pair of white gloves, and took him in without saying a word.

The forging workshop is 534 meters long and 60 meters wide, and the shipyard has a special power plant, so countless electric lights hang from the roof of the workshop. Under such bright light, as soon as he entered the workshop, Yang Rui saw a giant hydraulic press standing in the center of the workshop. He couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "It seems that it has been installed almost?" ”

"It's just that the beams and columns have been installed, and the working cylinder has not been installed." Chen Zaofan explained.

He said so, and Zhu Tiankui, the deputy director of the factory next to him, also said: "Yes, Prime Minister, we just pressed the upper beam the day before yesterday,"

This time when he came to Nanjing, Yang Rui thought that he could only see a bunch of parts, but he didn't want the frame of the hydraulic press to be erected, he heard Zhu Tiankui say that it was pressed only the day before yesterday, and couldn't help but worry: "You didn't rush the day, right?" ”

"Nope! Definitely not! Zhu Tiankui was shocked when he heard this, the Shangguan of the former Qing Dynasty always liked Tujili, and the lower officials had to look at the day in order to make a gift, but when he heard that the prime minister of the dynasty hated the following days the most, and knew that his temper had never been good, and now when he was asked like this, Zhu Tiankui was a little panicked.

"It's good if you don't have it!" Yang Rui was actually not angry, he was very happy. "Engaging in construction is not about marrying a daughter-in-law, but about having children. Don't rush the day. ”

"Yes! Be! The Prime Minister instructed that Zhu Tiankui wanted to say something ...... humble post. was immediately pulled away by others.

Watching him walk away, Xu Huafeng said: "He is the official ...... of the former Qing Dynasty."

"I see." Yang Rui also laughed. Zhu Tiankui was almost on his knees just now. "No wonder he can't be a factory director."

Xu Huafeng didn't have time to mention the matter of talents, he only stepped on the concrete ground and said: "It's done." A twelve-meter-deep foundation was dug underneath, and then one hundred and fifty-eight, forty-five-metre-long cement piles were drilled underneath. Ay! What a pile of silver! Many people couldn't figure it out when foreign engineers saw that we were throwing real money into it, and they privately said that we would not use 10,000 tons of hydraulic presses until at least 20 years later, and now it is in vain to buy them. ”

The hydraulic press was built for almost two years, and the construction of the shipyard took about the same amount of time, and as for the money, it was more. This is still only used in the shipyard, if you want to drive a 50,000-ton giant ship to Nanjing. The Yangtze River waterway needs to be dredged, and it is a huge amount of money. Yang Rui just smiled when he heard Xu Huafeng's exclamation, and said, "Don't pay attention to them!" If you buy it now and block it all over the world, who will sell it to us in 20 years? Not to mention the rest, in the future, the plane will use a hydraulic press, and I don't think one is enough now. ”

"Ahh Not enough? Xu Huafeng was a little dumbfounded, he saw that no one left and right whispered, "It's done, this one is enough!" ”

The aircraft aluminum alloy is a die forging hydraulic press. But Yang Rui didn't understand the difference between the die forging hydraulic press and the free forging hydraulic press, so he startled Xu Huafeng. "It's just not enough anyway." Yang Rui insisted. "But it's used in the aluminum factory, not here, and I haven't bought it in the last 20 years."

Speaking of aluminum factories, Xu Huafeng understands. In addition to this hydraulic press in Nanjing, the Ministry of Industry also bought a 5,000-ton hydraulic press in Germany, which is specially used for aluminum alloy forging dies. "It did. Do you really want to produce those aluminum alloy wheels? Xu Huafeng asked.

"Hmm." Yang Rui nodded, he actually wanted to say that no one wanted aluminum alloy doors and windows now. "Aluminum alloy will eventually be revealed, so it is better to seize the market before others react. Forming a scale. 'I have you and you don't' is unrealistic, 'you have me' is the truth. Although the aluminum alloy is hard, the melting point is too low, it is still good to make stressed parts, and it is good to make wheels and other parts that do not need heat resistance. ”

Yang Rui walked around the hydraulic press, but he was talking about aluminum alloy, he stopped and asked, "Is this hydraulic press useful after debugging?" Won't it just rest? ”

"Of course it works. Not to mention the cannon, the main shaft of the shipyard's 10,000-ton wheel will be made with a water press, if it is not bad with Japan, their shipyards are afraid that they will come to us for processing, and the crankshaft of the large diesel engine will also be used......" Xu Huafeng said this, avoiding others and said softly. "According to the information you gave, the permanent magnet material has now been made, the large water conservancy motor is now being trial-produced, and the large-scale motor is also being trial-produced, and their rotors are not working without a hydraulic press."

Magnetic materials now use expensive cobalt, but if the magnetic material is ground into a very fine powder, and under the action of the external magnetic field, the permanent magnet material with several times stronger magnetic properties can be obtained by pressure sintering, which is a brief method mentioned in physics textbooks. The sintering technology required by powder metallurgy was actually solved when making tungsten filament for incandescent lamps, and the difficulty was grinding, but in recent years, a lot of grinding technology has been accumulated for diesel engine fuel injection pumps, and it is finally industrialized with permanent magnet materials. Compared with the current motors and motors that will be demagnetized, this permanent magnet motor is better than the cost, quality and weight, and if the technology and market are fully prepared, it will be a subversion for the world's motor and motor market.

"Good! Good! That's great! Yang Rui said loudly.

He was so pleased with the people around him that they thought it was the Prime Minister who was satisfied with the frame of the hydraulic press so quickly. Chen Zaofan, the director of the shipyard, took the opportunity to step forward and said: "Let's ask the prime minister to give you a lecture, so that we will be more motivated." ”

Yang Rui's calligraphy really can't see people, and people who know the inside story generally ask him to speak. However, this is also the thing that Yang Rui hates the most, but when he came to Nanjing today, he had to say something, otherwise he really couldn't say it. So, under the hydraulic press, he looked at the people in front of him and said: "You have done a solid job, not greedy, not gimmicks, I am very satisfied with this." However, there is one thing missing from this forge shop. What's missing? One less monument!

This hydraulic press cost 3.2 million taels of silver, not counting, and for it, the navy also added two cruisers. And 485 lives! In the past, we sacrificed countless comrades for the revolution and for the recovery of this country, and today. In order to make this country rich and strong, and to build this country, we still have to sacrifice countless comrades. Those of us who are alive should not let down the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the liberation of the motherland, and we must do our best to build this country well; And the people who will live a prosperous life in the future. Nor should we forget us, the sacrifices we have made today to build this country.

Comrades, I am glad to see the hard-won results; But when I think of those comrades who are no longer there, I am very sad. We are a big country for thousands of years, and we have led the world in wealth and civilization, and we ......" Yang Rui suddenly choked when he said this, he thought of the current situation and the weakness of the country's industry. I thought of the treaties that were so oppressive and humiliating that I couldn't get rid of now. In the wordless silence, he saw the hope and unwillingness in the eyes of everyone, and after a slight warmth in his heart, he said loudly, "Comrades, even if there are no mountains and tombs, even if the rivers are exhausted, even if the winter thunder and summer snow are combined, we must build the national industrial system!" We must adhere to this belief, we must not be afraid of sacrifice, and we must accomplish this goal in our lifetime! ”

Yang Rui's speech was extremely short. But after he finished speaking, everyone at the scene applauded with all their strength. For these turtles who have studied abroad, industry is not only their career, but also their ideal. The prime minister is now using the oath of the evil to express his determination to build a national industrial system, including Xu Huafeng. All were enthusiastic.

The forging workshop was the first place Yang Rui visited, and then he visited the dry dock that had been built, and the shipyard was under construction for two years. Ships were already being built in the first excavated docks, and there were two hidden docks where submarines were being built. Although the management had already informed the workers of the dock. But the arrival of the prime minister caused a sensation, and the workers who were welding rivets involuntarily ran over. Some of these people were old workers transferred from the Jiangnan Shipyard. More are recent graduates from technical schools.

Before Tianzihao acquired Jiangnan Shipyard, the shipyard implemented the contract labor system, that is, regardless of the workers' food and drink, they only paid according to the work piece when there was an order, and if there was no order, they would break up. After Tianzihao took over, it completely subverted this practice, rated all the workers technically, and then incorporated them into regular workers, these formal workers were highly paid, had good welfare, and could get the minimum living guarantee when they were not alive. And when they also wanted to learn from this practice, Jiangnan Factory began to stock the technical backbone again, and since then those foreigners have no way. In their philosophy, the factory is always their own private property, and even if they want to share it, it must not be a yellow-skinned monkey; In the concept of Tianzihao, the factory is shared by everyone, although the shares are unequal, but everyone has a share.

Good management can not get a premium income, but good management can save costs, this is Henry Ford's routine, but also he dared to raise the wages of workers to five dollars a day, and Jiangnan Shipyard not only has good management, but also the support of steel mills and internal combustion engine factories, the diesel engine ships it built are very popular in the market, prompting the demand for diesel engine ships in the Far East to soar, otherwise those foreign shipyards are afraid that they have closed down.

Because of such an experience, the workers who came out of the Jiangnan Shipyard all looked up to Yang Rui, and if there was no Fuxing Society to take over the Jiangnan Factory, there would be no good life for their workers, and without Yang Rui, there would be no Fuxing Society. Several old workers knelt down in front of Yang Rui from a distance, and he was about to go over to help him up, but more people knelt down. The Great China Kingdom came up with a puppet king, so that the people below thought that the world was surnamed Zhu again, although this was out of ruling considerations, but when he saw the workers kneeling to him, Yang Rui suddenly felt that this world was really unfair. Just now, I persuaded the turtles to sacrifice in order to build a national industrial system, but those guys have good welfare, and it is a very small sacrifice to sacrifice, and there are people who really die and erect monuments, but these workers in front of them, if they die, who will remember?

Yang Rui was thinking wildly, and with the persuasion of Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu, who was very experienced in dealing with people's work, all those workers got up after a while. Seeing this, Yang Rui began to walk among the workers, half-heartedly warm up, and those workers were really in tears as the book said, and they couldn't wait to immediately sink their hearts and minds.

"The Chinese people are just good!" Yang Rui couldn't help but say to Xu Huafeng, but fortunately he didn't say what he wanted to say later: as long as he can eat enough, he will not rebel.

The exhaustion of the night on the airship, plus the long walk in the shipyard during the day. When talking to Lin Wenqian Zhou at night, Yang Rui was already a little sleepy.

There are constant contradictions and disputes between China and Japan. Now that he was still fighting in the East China Sea, Lin Wenqian, who was in charge of the armaments of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Anhui, and Jiangxi provinces, suddenly felt that the country and Japan were about to go to war. Even if the husband is sleepy, he has to ask the truth, and he has a good bottom in his heart.

"Sir, when will this battle be fought?" Lin Wenqian looked at Yang Rui's eyelids and was about to fight, but still asked.

"It's coming." Yang Rui took a sip of tea, looked at Lin Wenqian's eager gaze, and began to elaborate, "We still have to wait for a batch of submarines, and there is also the military factory." It takes time to train workers and straighten out management. If this is to be fought, it will no longer be as petty as the year before last, and if it really wants to go to war, it will be a national war. ”

"National War?!" Lin Wenqian was taken aback, according to his judgment, if he really wants to defeat Japan, it is enough to rely on the 6th Army alone, and even adding submarines is not enough, there must be a strong navy, so that he can fight Japan.

"Of course it's a national war!" Yang Rui said with certainty. "No war is fought when you're ready. The more prepared you are, the more different the situation will be. So the Germans said: 'For the future war is being laid out and planned. Only the broad-lined, initially associated with a clear war can be determined. ’”

The German 6th Army has guidelines for what to do, but the completion of the battle plan in the war is not as one-sided as Yang Rui imagined in the past, they fully give the lower-level officers flexibility rather than hard and prescribe methods, only in the last ten years the chief of the German General Staff is Schlieffen. In order to accomplish that desperate plan, the army began to demand rigidity. If the Baath Army gets to the bottom of it, his real teacher should actually be an outlier in the General Staff. Colmar. Feng. Morality. Field Marshal Goltz.

Lin Wenqian fully understood what Yang Rui meant, and he asked, "Then what is our goal?" ”

"At least take back Taiwan!" Lin Wenqian is Yang Rui's beloved apprentice. Fujian's formation of the First Division of the 6th Naval Squadron could not bypass him, so he still revealed the main points of the Wanli Plan.

"Ahh Lin Wenqian and Zhou Sixu were taken aback when they heard this. The two looked at each other and stood up suddenly, and Lin Wenqian said loudly. "Sir, all the officers and soldiers of the East China Theater will never hold back the country!"

"Huh!" Don't ask if it's okay, let's talk about whether you dare or not. In fact, this is a fine tradition tempered by the Renaissance Army in the revolutionary war. Yang Rui was very satisfied with this and laughed. "How do you sit and stand!"

Yang Rui's fatigue at this time disappeared mostly, and then said: "The goal is to tell you, but how to fight it still has to wait for the final plan of the General Staff Headquarters." Of course, they only give a rough idea, and the specific way to do it can only be determined after communicating with you. How are the coastal fortifications done now? ”

"It is being built as planned, and it will definitely be completed by then......," said Chief of Staff Zhou Sixu, who had been partners with Lin Wenqian for many years, and had a tacit understanding between one strong and one weak, one master and one slave. The fortifications that Yang Rui asked were actually airports, as well as mine warehouses, which he was responsible for.

"Hmmm! And what about the Navy 6 Sentai Corps? Yang Rui knew that the fortifications were not difficult, especially with the cooperation of the local farmers' association, and no matter how many airports could be built, they could be built in great concealment.

"Navy 6 Squad ......" Zhou Sixu stopped when he said this, he glanced at Lin Wenqian and said: "It's also preparing, it's Zheng Rui's ......, he thinks that Navy 6 Squad is not a sea or 6, it is neither a bird nor a beast, and he complains a lot." ”

"This bunny!" Yang Rui laughed and scolded, how many years have passed, and the kid from 6 Mengxiong is still like this. "What about others? I came to tell him, if you are not honest, help him dredge his muscles and bones! ”

"He ......," Yang Rui said, and Zhou Sixu also smiled, "He went home to get married." It's just, it's just ......" Zhou Sixu couldn't help laughing when he said this. "It's just that he has to marry dozens of concubines this time, and it is said that they are all women who want to be good in the Qinglou in Shanghai, but the old bustard refuses to let go."

"This little bunny!" Yang Rui wanted to be angry, but now he couldn't get angry at all, but couldn't help laughing. Marrying dozens of good women in Qinglou, 6 Mengxiong really regarded himself as a flower messenger. Isn't this instigated by Qiu Jin, or does Xianfeng also have a share? (To be continued!)
