839. Marine problems

Wang Xinlan's call from Switzerland, in addition to explaining the results of the negotiations with the British, mainly said that there were two truckloads of goods sent to Florida, all of which were precision lathes and production lines.

Since the beginning of this year, the Czechoslovak authorities have repeatedly held urgent consultations with Britain and France, hoping that these two countries will support justice. Unexpectedly, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain said bluntly: "The British Empire and France will not fight for the Czech Republic, and if you provoke a war in Europe, you will be fully responsible." ”

Turning his head, Chamberlain, in response to Hitler's question about whether Britain agreed to cede the Sudetenland, said slowly: "The Germans of the Sudetenland, whether they were in Germany or outside Germany, did not matter to me in principle. ”

What is an international transaction? That's it.

Because of this, the "discerning" entrepreneurs of the Sudetenland have begun to operate in private, evading the surveillance of the local Germans, and transferring part of their property.

Wang Xinlan didn't know about this process, but Bai Shujie just knew. Carrying out Bai Shujie's order, they formed a three-member team to "inspect the investment environment" in the Czech Republic, but found that it was "very turbulent" and not suitable for investment for the time being, so they rented a boat and pulled things away.

In this process, Horst made a lot of efforts. even "trafficked" a few Jews to Wang Xinlan. If you don't want money, give it away for free. The only requirement is to take away their families, which seems to add up to more than 30 people.

For nothing else, these Jews had financed him in Khorst's most difficult times. Now that the Yuan wants to expel all Jews from the country, he uses his status as an arms dealer to do some good deeds along the way.

For three of the 11 Jews specialized in artillery; 2 were chemical experts who studied gunpowder at Horst's arsenal; The remaining 6 people are all very outstanding mechanical experts. The tracked self-propelled guns produced by the Horst Arsenal were made by the six of them.

Fortunately, Bai Shujie has already said that he needs to be surrounded by professional and technical personnel, so he naturally made a favor, and proposed to buy 10 sets of oxygen production equipment and 1 set of equipment for the production of high-pressure sealing tanks. At the same time, the time has come for the training of cadets, and it is time for the submarine to go home.

Bai Shujie called back and put forward a request: "We urgently need researchers in steam turbines and aero engines, but also physical and chemical researchers, and of course, talents in related research equipment and instruments." If the Jews have any expertise in these areas, they should be sent back as much as possible. ”

Because Wang Xinlan had already said that there were 6 mechanical experts, Bai Shujie found Pyongyang Mayor Zhang Yushu and put forward "Guiding Opinions on Preparing for the Construction of a Tractor Factory".

"Oh, yes." Bai Shujie smiled and said to Zhang Yushu: "That Miss Kong Er heard that she is here with you, why haven't you seen anyone recently?" ”

Zhang Yushu smiled: "Don't say it, that eldest lady is really unpredictable." She now follows Gan Changji, secretary of the municipal party committee, to the countryside below every day to conduct investigations and participate in land reform work. A few days ago, I heard Gan Changji say that Kong Lingwei's enthusiasm is very high, and he can eat and live with the people! ”

Bai Shujie also thought it was incredible at first, but he could understand it when he thought about it.

Children from large families don't know what society is like. Although they are complimented as "elites" one by one, which one is not industrious, and the grains are not divided!

The reason why the United States can engage in peaceful evolution and pin its hopes on the third and fourth generations is because many countries are "sons inheriting their father's business."

They are noble, and they are all "elite stupid pigs" born with golden keys! In addition to eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, in fact, he can't catch up with a pig, because stupid pigs don't hurt people much!

Because from the day they are born, they are already the future successors, the ones in power. It's a pity that they don't understand bullshit, and peaceful evolution will come naturally!

The ancients have already said: no more than three generations of wealth! As the saying goes: "Lao Tzu is a hero bastard, the power is allowed to play for him!" ”

Sighing, Bai Shujie remembered a question: "Has the root of the scabies on her head been found, is it blood poisoning?" ”

"After a month of observation and treatment, our doctor said it was fine." Zhang Yushu looked at Bai Shujie strangely: "For more than two months, her hair has grown very quickly." It's summer, and I don't see scabies on my head when I drill in the mountains every day. So she's in good spirits and full of energy. ”

"Well, you ask her when she will go back, and I'll send someone to bring her to safety." Before Bai Shujie left, he quipped: "Has Chen Dazhu come back recently, I think it's good to find an opportunity to do the business of the two of you!" ”

Zhang Yushu's face turned slightly red, but he was not embarrassed, but instead sent Bai Shujie and his army: "Dazhu said that he would marry his boss on the same day." I can't wait, when are you going to have a happy event? ”

"It's still early, no hurry!" The voice was still there, Bai Shujie had already run away without a trace, leaving Zhang Yushu there laughing.

As soon as Bai Shujie returned to his office, Lu Ming, deputy chief of general staff, ran over: "Senior brother, I have a question to ask for your opinion!" ”

"Can you let Lao Tzu rest for a while?" Bai Shujie took a sip of the teapot, and then said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Lu Ming smiled: "It's not the 7 freighters that came back this time." Didn't Sister Caiqin replace every ship with a brand new steam turbine, but also the battleship we ordered, and the steam turbine that will be used in the future. Each ship has 6 boilers and 4 steam turbines. ”

Later, the shipyard sent technicians down to the engine room to take a look, and it turned out that Sister Caiqin coaxed outsiders. In fact, only 4 boilers and 2 steam turbines worked, and 2 boilers and 2 steam turbines were useless at all. ”

"According to your request, the shipyard has removed all the boilers and steam turbines, a total of 42 oil-fired boilers and 24 steam turbines. Each one is 18,000 shaft horsepower, and 4 is 72,000 horsepower, which has already caught up with the battleships. ”

"The problem now is that the shipyard last dismantled 2 30,000-ton ocean-going freighters according to your order, and then they fought hard to get out of the hull of a battleship with a standard displacement of 30,000 tons, and now even the armor is in place."

"Six days ago this battleship, which was entirely of our own construction, was launched, and since yesterday the chief engineer of this project approached me to bring out eight oil-fired boilers and four steam turbines to start outfitting. I don't dare to agree lightly, so I want you to make up your mind. ”

"You're looking for me to have a piece of?" Bai Shujie smiled bitterly and said, "You go back and tell them, if you can answer my three questions, it's no problem to give them all the steam turbines." ”

"The first question is, where does the transmission shaft come from, where does the transmission gear come from, and can it ensure long-term operation at such a high speed? The second question, where did I remember where there was no machining, where did the propellers and the main rudder levers come from? Can you guarantee fast shifting and fast direction change? ”

"The third most critical question, which is directly related to the thermal efficiency value and the speed of the battleship, is the 'series-parallel' scheme of the steam turbine determined? How is the gearbox made? Engaging in scientific research is the most taboo hot-headed! ”

Lu Ming handed Bai Shujie a piece of material, and then said with a smile: "Look, this is the configuration plan design document submitted by the shipyard's engine power department." They did a lot of calculations for the sake of efficiency and speed, and they came up with this solution. But I'm a layman, so I can only come and let you decide. ”

"As for the core components you mentioned, they were all transported by freighter, it seems that Senior Sister Caiqin has already considered this problem. The propeller shaft, main rudder, and propeller are all brand new, all matched with the steam turbine, and if it is not done well, it is the stuff of the battleship. What I'm worried about now is how to get these seven freighters back to the United States, which is a 10,000-mile or 20,000-mile waterway! ”

"If that's the case, that's great!" After listening to the explanation, Bai Shujie immediately made a decision: "Dismantle all the freighters below 3,000 tons here." Then try to restore the 7 freighters, as long as you can deal with the United States, basket Caiqin continue to buy new ones! ”

"Go back and tell your brothers at the shipyard that the little devils are producing new battleships and destroyers with speeds of more than 39 knots. If we can't catch up with the little devils and end up sinking, it's better not to build it. Since it's easy to do it, it's okay to do it all at once, even if it's all reworked. ”

"My request was to install 8 boilers, 4 reduction gear drive steam turbines, 4 shaft drives, and a speed of more than 39 knots! For the layout of the engine room, it was necessary to carry 27 knots of fuel for a voyage of 5000 nautical miles. Lao Tzu wants to see what the craftsmanship level of the Americans is, which is also a disguised investigation for receiving new warships in the future! ”

"Don't be afraid of failure, as long as you have a theoretical basis, you can be bold and practical. The most fundamental thing of the steam turbine is to give full play to the calorific value of the fuel, improve the efficiency of converting heat energy into kinetic energy as much as possible, set the stage and use it reasonably. ”

Speaking of which, Bai Shujie opened the "Cangyun Ship Turbine Layout Setting Book" and read it carefully. Looking at it, his brows began to wrinkle, and the expression on Lu Ming's face next to him was constantly changing.

As an old and qualified chief of staff, and also a core personnel who came out of the bloody storm with Bai Shujie, how much Lu Ming hopes that he can produce powerful weapons and equipment!

Since coming to the Korean Peninsula and seeing that it is surrounded by water, Lu Ming has truly understood the power of "strong ships and sharp cannons".

Since Bai Shujie arranged for him to be in charge of the coordination work of the shipyard, on the one hand, to encourage the front-line researchers, on the other hand, to find ways to improve the creativity of skilled workers, and at the same time, to collect all kinds of scarce materials everywhere, Lu Ming can be said to have paid great effort.

Lu Ming is a technical layman, but he has the keen insight of a senior military commander. Therefore, after he took charge of the work of the shipyard, in the midst of a thousand things, he soon discovered that the engine and armor were the core, and the hull design was secondary.

It was under his impetus that Cangyunli Shipyard successively set up the "Marine Power Research Laboratory", "Hull Design Research Laboratory", and "Armor Material Heat Treatment Research Laboratory", and began to integrate the original rabble and implement Bai Shujie's "Opinions on the Implementation of Shipbuilding System Engineering".

This time, the imitation of the 30,000-ton battleship was also promoted by Lu Ming. At the beginning, the shipyard technical department approved three schemes: 5,000 tons, 8,000 tons and 15,000 tons.

Soon after that, the keel was laid, and the hull of a 5,000-ton destroyer was completed. After being launched, it did not capsize after two typhoon attacks, and once it passed the test of stability and wind and wave resistance in the water.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
