"Mr. Commander-in-Chief, the American manufacturers are not doing you any harm, but they have set a speed and thrust limiting device in these steam turbines. That is, the maximum load of these turbines has been fixed. ”

Seeing Bai Shujie's puzzled face, Munn Ohers took the time to explain: "The Americans are very clear, and they hope that you will use these turbines to produce ships below 20,000 tons. But as soon as I arrived, I found that the battleship was at least 50,000 tons. If it weren't for your 4-axis push, you wouldn't have been able to run! ”

"However, after you use four engines, the total number of ships will drop again. The Americans have engaged in this kind of small action many times, and I have seen it too much in all kinds of equipment that was originally given to Germany. ”

"Mr. Commander-in-Chief, if you're not so eager for quick success, I have a whole research line on my ship. Rest assured, this is my personal equipment and all the patents are mine. ”

"This production line is the special equipment that I use in my spare time to study turbine engines! If I had special steel, capable of producing turbine plates, and a high-pressure combustion chamber, I would be able to produce a 48,000 hp turbine engine right now, which could be used on a ship! ”

"Are you talking about turbine engines, Mr. Mund?" Bai Shujie was shocked when he heard this: "The turbine plates and high-pressure combustion chamber inside need high-temperature alloys." This kind of special steel, we really haven't studied it yet! ”

"Hehe, that's why I said that you can't rush for quick success, you need to make long-term plans!" Munn Ohers shook his head: "There are three steel mills near Pyongyang, but they are all ordinary steel. It's okay to build a ship's hull, but for an airplane and an engine, it needs to be modified. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Monn Ohers, for the reminder!" Bai Shujie's face was straight: "Please deal with the technical problems of these steam turbines immediately, and then we can sit down and plan the transformation of the steelmaking process." ”

After an emergency unloading of the ship, all the equipment of Meng'en's personal room was removed. Then Bai Shujie approved a secret cave and rearranged it as his personal real room.

At the same time, an order was issued: "To the conditions proposed by Munn Ohers, be sure to respond to all requests!" If this is not enough, let Mun Ohers come up with a solution immediately and then go all out to transform it. ”

After half a month of trial operation, the "Meng'en Shi Yàn Room" produced a batch of new gears, and at the same time, according to his guiding ideology, designed a reducer.

After assembling a steam turbine and testing it, the single-axle horsepower suddenly increased from 38,500 horsepower to 43,000 horsepower.

In other words, the total power of the four-axle propulsion reached 172,000 horsepower, an increase of 18,000 horsepower on the original basis, an increase of 10%. It is equivalent to adding a small steam turbine to the "Shenyang 918 Battlecruiser", without increasing the weight of the hull and the space required!

Bai Shujie has witnessed these changes with his own eyes, so he has a deeper understanding of "science is productivity". The Germans constantly "copycated" other people's things, and soon achieved a technological take-off, which is inseparable from this model that focuses on "upgrading copycats" and then becomes their own patents!

Actions speak louder than words!

The Shenyang 918 battlecruiser, after being reinstalled, and then going to the second sea trials, easily reached 37.5 knots, and not yet to the limit. If it weren't for the fear that the transmission bearing couldn't stand it, Bai Shujie really wanted to try what the 39.5 section looked like!

The speed was increased by 2.5 knots, but the fuel consumption decreased by 3.5%, and the maximum range of 20 knots was increased to 26,600 nautical miles, which made Bai Shujie ecstatic: "Fuck, a Munn Ohhs is worth at least $18 billion!" The more such people, the better, and barriers should not be erected at all. Lao Tzu shouted indiscriminately a month ago, isn't it too dark to have a conscience? ”

Actually, this thing is very understandable.

Because Germany has been punished since its defeat in World War I. Under the premise of extreme scarcity of resources, the first thing all researchers should consider is to "greatly reduce energy consumption and maximize the unit power!" ”

Unlike the Americans, who have a lot of money, as long as you can move, let alone drink fuel, even if you want to drink gold!

In this way, the products of the Germans gradually embarked on the road of "fine and rigorous" development, which laid the foundation for later industrial development.

Meng Kaihua, the first deputy captain of the first-generation special operations brigade and the current captain, was invited to the office by Bai Shujie with a phone call: "Zhang Jingfu has done a good job in the United States, and he has led nine cargo ships back to the United States last month. ”

"Now, don't fucking go around in circles with the little devils here. Take your second special operations platoon and immediately go to the Internal Guard Regiment to select a reinforced battalion of 980 people to form a European working group and accept Wang Xinlan's command. ”

"Remember, in that hellish place in Europe, no one can afford to look down on Asians. After you pass, you must be low-key and high-profile. Fuck, whoever dares to look down on you, just hit it out! ”

"Of course, Lao Tzu sent you out to do business, not to let you go out and kill people. So, the temper is still a little more restrained. If you are not bullied, then you have to get by. Do as little as possible to do righteous and courageous things, and implement them according to Wang Xinlan's orders. ”

"Remember, it's a check for $1.8 billion. What is $1.8 billion, fuck, you don't understand it! For example, our Project 918 battleship now does not even dare to provoke little devils. But $100 million can build 3 ships, and $1.8 billion is 54 ships! ”

"Got it? Fuck, this is all in exchange for Lao Tzu's own face, don't you see that Lao Tzu has no face now? So this check can't be lost, it must be handed over to Wang Xinlan. More than 1,000 of you are on your way to protect this check. , Lao Tzu still has something to do. ”

On October 23, 1938, Bai Shujie's "European trading fleet" embarked on an unknown sea route.

This time, after a comprehensive transformation, the "Glacier Maru Cruise" has become the "Pyongyang Cruise".

The length is 227 meters, the width is 34.5 meters, the draft is 8.1 meters, the standard displacement is 36,400 tons, and the maximum displacement is 57,780 tons. 8 boilers, 4 steam turbines, speed 29 knots. It can carry 1,476 tourists and 17,300 tons of cargo at the same time. Of course, 7,200 troops and equipment can be transported during the battle.

After "negotiation" with Bai Shujie, Bessa Schwartz decided not to "Weiss Cruise", because it was 3 million US dollars a year to stop at the dock. If you add maintenance and repair costs, you need at least $5 million a year.

It wasn't until this time that Bai Shujie knew what was going on with the "Weiss Cruise".

Bessa Schwartz is not lying, this is indeed a brand new cruise ship.

In order to compete with France for the share of international cruise ships, the British White Star Company built three 80,000-ton super cruise ships at the same time in 1928 to compete for the "Blue Ribbon". But they were unlucky, and in 1929 the global economic crisis broke out.

At the beginning of 1932, the British White Star Company, which was close to economic collapse, was forced to sell one of the "Great Oceans" as a scrap hull, leaving only the "Queen Mary".

To say that many people don't know about this White Star Company, but the world-famous "Titanic" is the cruise ship under its name!

On April 14, 1912, at 11:40 p.m. on board, the Titanic hit an iceberg; Two hours and 40 minutes later, at 2:20 a.m. on April 15, the ship split into two sections and sank into the Atlantic Ocean, opening the "devil's door to luxury cruise ships."

Bessa Schwartz bought the Ocean, which by this time was 75% complete. Bessa Schwartz added an additional £7.5 million to complete the final outfitting, which is now the "Weiss Cruises"!

The length is 314 meters, the width is 39.7 meters, the draft is 8.7 meters, the standard displacement is 61,000 tons, and the maximum displacement is 83,600 tons. Streamlined bulbous bow, electric propulsion, speed 32.5 knots.

A high-power steam turbine is used, but instead of directly driving the propeller, it has a three-seat steam turbine nacelle, which drives three sets of generators to drive three sets of electric motors, and then the electric motor drives the mail ship of more than 80,000 tons. Since the electric motor can run in reverse, it solves the problem of difficult reversing and also increases the flexibility of driving.

The entire layout of the cruise ship has a total of four floors, divided into 196 staterooms, which are intended for royalty. There are 823 first-class cabins, 662 second-class cabins, and 798 third-class cabins, which can carry 2,479 passengers and 28,500 tons of cargo at the same time. In wartime, it was possible to transport troops of 15000 people. It can withstand large waves with a wavelength of about 300 meters and a crest of more than 30 meters.

The boat has an indoor swimming pool with a heated circulation and a ballroom with a capacity of 496 people. The main dining room is the largest offshore restaurant of the era, with 3 decks.

In addition, there is a shooting range, a carousel and a gymnasium, as well as a marble-walled church that can accommodate 420 prayers at a time. After Rabbi Klein fled from Nuremberg to Bremen, he became bishop here.

Now, this super luxury cruise ship has changed its name. For this name, Zhao Jinxi and Gan Tong almost fought!

This is a matter of personal future status, not a joke!

Because Besa Schwartz was discussing problems in Bai Shujie's office, seeing Zhao Jinxi and Gan Tong's expressions towards Bai Shujie, the veteran Besa Schwartz suddenly understood the key points, so he put forward a bold idea!

"Mr. Commander-in-Chief, I have made a final decision on the issue of the name of this cruise ship." Bessa Schwartz smiled and explained his proposal: "I decided to give it to two beautiful ladies and named them after them!" This has nothing to do with you, it's all about showing my respect for the two beautiful ladies! ”

Bai Shujie's head grew when he heard it: This has nothing to do with me? Named after Madame, it would have too much to do with me!

Sure enough, Zhao Jinxi took the lead in expressing his position: "I sincerely thank Mr. Bessa Schwartz for his generosity, and I am happy to accept this gift!" ”

Not to be outdone, Gan Tong said: "I would like to express my sincere respect for Mr. Bessa Schwartz's generosity. To express my gratitude and make Mr. Besa Schwartz's wish come true, I have decided to name this ship the Tongxia! ”

"!" This involves the affairs of his next half of his life, and he must definitely do it, so Zhao Jinxi directly retorted: "This is clearly my cruise ship, of course it should be named Jinxi!" ”

"What's the noise, there's no showlike demeanor at all! Let my wife say a few words, your names are not appropriate! ”

Lin Heier, who had just been invited to the shipyard to visit the two cruise ships, suddenly came over and interjected: "Since the kindness of the people is a cruise ship for Mrs. Jer, it should be called Jintong, so it's decided!" ”

"Don't you still want to save people, immediately notify people to change their paintwork and set off quickly. A few of us old guys have endured hardships in our lives, and this time we also want to take a look at foreign countries! Things at home, you three little ones take it slowly. ”

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