Lin Fei smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about you, what's the matter with coming to me?" ”

Yu Xier said: "I saw that our army is equipped with automatic rifles, which are already very advanced weapons, so I wondered if the navy should also get some new weapons." Yu Xier said and took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said with a smile: "This is the battleship I designed, you see when we will start building the battleship?" ”

Lin Fei didn't even look at the piece of paper and said, "Lao Yu, you should have never been to a shipyard or designed a warship, right?" ”

Yu Xier was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "How do you know? ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "With our current industrial strength, we can't build warships at all, we can now build some steel and copper, but with these, wanting to build warships is as ridiculous as letting a baby who has just learned to walk to participate in a race." ”

Yu Xier's face was full of disbelief and said: "Is it so difficult to build a warship?" ”

Lin Fei said helplessly: "Of course it's that difficult! If we want to build warships, we are faced with two major problems, one is the lack of materials, and the other is the lack of talents. ”

"Warships are a big project that requires a variety of materials, and although we have steel now, the mechanical properties of these steels are not good enough to be used to build warships. The process of manufacturing warships requires a large number of professional workers to complete various installations and fabrications, but now we lack several important craftsmen. ”

Lin Fei said and handed the paper handed to Yu Xi'er by Ling Xue, and said: "Look at the skills of these craftsmen above, no one understands welding and pipeline installation and maintenance, shipbuilding needs to connect steel together, there is no way to talk about it without welders, and pipelines, there are dense pipelines everywhere on warships, how can you do without pipeline workers?" We are so short of workers, I was not happy because of this. ”

Yu Xier said: "Then what should we do? ”

Lin Fei said: "Workers can be trained, but materials can't be cultivated. ”

Yu Xier asked, "Then are we going to buy it?" ”

Lin Fei said: "A powerful industrial overlord can't be bought, we should still find a way to make it ourselves." ”

Yu Xier hurriedly asked, "How do we make these things?" ”

Lin Fei thought for a while and said, "We need one thing!" ”

Yu Xier asked, "What do we need?" ”

Lin Fei said: "Coal! ”

Yu Xi'er laughed and said, "What's so strange about coal? Aren't there coal in the Ling Ji Construction Bureau? ”

Lin Fei shook his head lightly and said, "Most of the coal used by the Lingji Construction Bureau is fuel coal, only a small part of coking coal, we need a large coal mine, and use the coal in it to support our development." ”

Yu Xier thought for a while and said, "I don't understand, what about after we have coal, will we be able to build warships?" ”

Lin Fei said: "With coal, we are a big step away from building warships!" Because with sufficient coke, we can smelt high-performance steel, I will go to the coal mine now, you and Chen Fu will prepare, go to Taiwan again, find British merchants, and then buy a batch of supplies, this time mainly buy three things, first, tin ore; second, bristles; Third, tung oil. Do you understand? ”

Yu Xier was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the use of buying these three things?" ”

Lin Fei thought for a while and said, "These three things are very useful to the navy, and there are too many things that need to be said when I want to explain them to you now, so let's wait until you buy them back, and I'll explain them to you." ”

Yu Xier didn't ask much, and left. In the next day, Lin Fei handed over the classification of the types of work he had done to Ling Xue, asked her to arrange the craftsmen to teach her disciples, and handed over the banknote issuance plan to Chiyo Mika and asked her to arrange it.

What Lin Fei didn't expect was that Chiyo Mika shook her head worriedly and said, "Lin Feijun, I'm a little scared, don't let me do it." ”

Lin Fei thought to himself, it's only been a day, why did Chiyo Mika change her hexagram? So Lin Fei asked, "Meixiang, what are you afraid of?" ”

Chiyo Mika hurriedly said: "I'm worried that I can't do well, and I have to manage many people in the bank, what if they don't listen to me?" Am I going to reprimand them? I have never reprimanded anyone, at home it is my father, mother, brother and sister who reprimand me......"

Lin Fei thought helplessly, Chiyo Mika said those words yesterday was just provoked by Ling Xue, she was still the cowardly and unassertive eldest lady, it was really too difficult for her to manage a large group of people, Lin Fei said: "That's it, I'll leave the bank's affairs to Chen Jingui to manage, I'll let him listen to you, just tell him what you have to say." ”

Chiyo Mika agreed, Lin Fei explained a few words to Chen Jingui, Chen Jingui was obedient to Lin Fei at this time, and agreed.

Lin Fei's banknotes were handed over to the printing house for printing, there is only one printing house on the island, and there is no need to consider that someone will counterfeit, Lin Fei also named the banknotes "RMB", and issued a notice to the residents of the island, asking them to go to the bank to exchange the silver in their hands for paper money, Lin Fei thought well in advance, and the residents of the island trusted Lin Fei very much, and exchanged the silver in their hands for paper money.

Lin Fei saw that everything was on the right track, so he went to Ling Xue to ask about the coal mine, and when he came to Ling Xue's residence to ask, Ling Xue said, "I really don't know, I'll take you to Master Guan." ”

Ling Xue took Lin Fei to find Master Guan, and on the way, Ling Xue told Lin Fei that Master Guan was called "Guan Shanyue", the knot in his wife and daughter's heart was untied, his revenge was avenged, and his spirit was much better.

The two came to the ore warehouse, only to see Guan Shanyue, the master of Guan, was energetically directing everyone to classify the ore, and then put it into the warehouse, at this time Guan Shanyue was neatly dressed and ruddy, Lin Fei stepped forward and asked about the coal mine, Guan Shanyue frowned and said: "Is our coal mine not enough now?" ”

Lin Fei shook his head and said: "The current coal coking efficiency is too low, and we need to find another coal mine." ”

Guan Shanyue shook his head and said, "I don't know where there are coal mines. ”

Lin Fei felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and secretly thought that it would be difficult for Master Guan to know where there was a coal mine, this Samar Island is not small, there are many mountains, and I don't know when to find it when I will find it one by one, but the coking industry is too important, not only for iron and steel metallurgy, but also for the coking process, you can also get a lot of chemical products, and these chemical products also have a great role in promoting the chemical industry.

Lin Fei then decided to go into the mountains to find coking coal mines, and if he couldn't find a way, Lin Fei asked: "Master Guan, I plan to go into the mountains to find coal mines in person, can you be a guide for me?" ”

Without waiting for Guan Shanyue to speak, Ling Xue said on the side: "This is not good, so many ores have to be checked by Master Guan, if Master Guan leaves, who will do this work?" ”

Lin Fei frowned and said, "But there must be a guide to enter the mountain, who else has walked in the mountain?" ”

Master Guan suddenly said, "I think of a person who can help you. ”

Lin Fei hurriedly asked, "Who is he?" ”

Master Guan's expression darkened, shook his head slightly, and said, "Forget it, he will definitely not be able to help, you better find someone else." ”

Lin Fei was curious in his heart and asked, "Master Guan, who is this person you are talking about?" ”

Master Guan said: "This person's name is 'Qian Wangling', he is a very strange person, he also went into the mountain like me, but I went into the mountain to find all kinds of ores, and he went into the mountain to find a strange thing. ”

Lin Fei asked, "Strange thing?" What's that? ”

Master Guan frowned and pondered for a long time, as if looking for words to explain the strange thing, and then said: "The things he is looking for are all stones, with strange patterns on them, and when I asked him what those stones were, he said that those stones were 'past life stones', and the gods were chattering. ”

Ling Xue's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she asked, "Past Life Stone?" Could it be that the stone he is looking for can see people's past lives? ”

Lin Fei thought in his heart that many natural science achievements in ancient China liked to be dressed in mysticism, for example, in "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed", it was said that "the girl on the river is the most spiritual, and when she gets fire, she flies, and she does not see the dust", and the phenomenon of mercury heating and volatilization is miraculous, and the stone in the previous life must also be some kind of natural science achievement.

Ling Xue still asked the "Past Life Stone" with a yearning look on her face at this time, and Lin Fei smiled on the side: "Xue'er, don't talk about it, how can people have any past lives." Then he said to Guan Shanyue: "Where does that Qian Wangling live?" ”

Guan Shanyue said: "Out of Yanhuang City, go south, there is a bamboo forest, there is a small river on the side of the bamboo forest, along the river you can find Qian Wangling's residence. ”

Lin Fei then said goodbye to Guan Shanyue, and was just about to leave, only to hear Guan Shanyue say behind him: "Captain Lin, please wait." ”

Lin Fei stopped and turned around and asked, "Master Guan, is there anything else?" ”

Guan Shanyue hesitated for a moment and said, "That Qian Wangling's temper is so bad that he scolds and beats people at every turn, you must be careful." ”

Lin Fei nodded in thanks, came out of the ore warehouse, and began to prepare to enter the mountain, Ling Xue also followed Lin Fei to prepare, Lin Fei smiled and said, "Xue'er, you still don't want to follow, right?" ”

Ling Xuexiu frowned and said, "Why don't you let me follow?" I'm going to see the Past Life Stone. ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "You don't know about mining, and you can't help much." ”

Ling Xue argued: "Who said I can't help, I can cook!" How do you cook in the mountains? You're a big man who can't cook! ”

Lin Fei thought helplessly, do I still need to cook? You can eat raw food in the mountains and forests! However, Lin Fei didn't say much, he agreed, the two rode out of Yanhuang City on fast horses, found the bamboo forest and the river, the two walked upstream along the river, and sure enough, they found a small wooden house, and there was a shed outside the house, the shed was full of large and small stones, and there were strange lines on it, Ling Xue said excitedly: "Those should be the stones of the previous life, right?" ”
