When Yue Hengyuan left, the more Zhang Yuan thought about it, the more he couldn't calm it down, and he made up his mind that even if the resistance was great, he would go to Outer Mongolia.

It is not because of his momentary anger, but compared with the dislike of the government, if he sends troops to Outer Mongolia, the benefits obtained will be more beneficial to the development of Xihe. Of course, exercising the ability to expedition to the West River is also a very important factor, or the main factor.

Because, Zhang Yuan knows that if he is willing to bring in funds from the outside world, or give up the expedition to Outer Mongolia, presumably the government will not mind secretly funding the development of Xihe, even if Zhang Yuan does not want to admit it, as his fame grows and his influence increases around the world, the gap with other players is still obvious, which has made him a business card of the country.

What really made Zhang Yuan decide to stick to it was that he didn't want to be bound, he could compromise for something, but he wouldn't compromise without a bottom line, and this refusal was not to show his attitude to the government.

After Zhang Yuan clarified his thoughts, he directly contacted the secretary department in Qingtian Island.

"Help me inform the person in charge of the ship's construction, I need to have a video conference in an hour!"

"Okay! Chairman, I will notify all experts and professors immediately! ”

"Well, send me the information on the development of the Xihe ship!"

hung up the phone, and after waiting for less than two minutes, Zhang Yuan received the information transmitted from the secretariat.

The development of ships in Xihe can also be traced back to the period of Xihe Town, when Zhang Yuan had just entered the expedition and ruled Xihe in the early days, he actively recruited talents. Aboriginal craftsmen are experts and professors in real-world shipbuilding, as well as in the development of sailing ships in the Great Sea.

At that time, the heritage of Xihe was not rich, and Xihe Town had a river in addition to it. There are no lakes around, and it's not close to the sea. At the same time, the rapid development of Xihe Town also requires a lot of funds, but Zhang Yuan still squeezed out a lot of funds to invest in shipbuilding.

Of course, at that time, the West River ships focused on studying the feasibility of realistic sailing ships, because of the essential difference between the expedition to the world and the West River. The wood of the expedition is better than the real world, and the sea of the expedition is also more dangerous and terrifying, and the ability to hold the ship is seaworthy. and the ability to resist waves is even more demanding. It is not simply the construction of more stable ships that can be smoothed out by relying on better quality wood from the expedition.

Moreover, Xihe does not have the energy and funds to study all the real ships, so he can only choose a few suitable ones. Concentrate your efforts to overcome the difficulties. And to find a sustainable path to go beyond the real history of sailboats.

It was not until Xihe occupied Liuzhou, had its own outlet to the sea, and a large number of shipbuilders, that Xihe began to move from research to trial production. With the occupation of Dingzhou, the shipbuilding development of Xihe has also entered a period of rapid development, with countless high-quality and aged timbers in the 50,000 mountains. As well as Xihe's large amount of investment in the shipbuilding industry, Xihe's shipbuilding industry has also begun to officially put into output.

An hour passed in a hurry. Zhang Yuan devoted himself to the ship's information, and only reacted when the phone rang.

Connected to the LCD screen, Zhang Yuan nodded to the more than 20 experts who appeared, and said: "Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Yuan, I'm sorry to take the liberty of disturbing everyone's work!" ”

When the experts and professors who exchanged their heads heard this, they all quieted down and nodded politely to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuanjian saw that the conference room was quiet, paused and said: "I haven't paid attention to everyone's work for a long time, I want to know some of the latest and most specific situations, is it okay?" ”

Hearing this, the experts who were originally confused reacted one after another, glanced at each other, and a white-haired old man stood up and said, "Hello, chairman, I am Andri, the person in charge of the research and construction of small and medium-sized ships. ”

"Hello! Mr. Andriy! Zhang Yuan knew the other party, the other party was a ship expert recruited by Qian Tian in the early days, an old German man, a fanatic of sailing ships, as the person in charge of Xihe who joined the early stage, although he was not the most authoritative among these experts, but his prestige was very high.

What's more, Andriy used to be the manager of a wooden sailing factory, but when the economy went down and the factory went bankrupt, Andriy stayed at home. It is precisely because Zhang Yuan shot early, with the deepening of the impact of the expedition on people's lives, as long as the talent market related to the shipping industry is very hot, especially in sailing.

"Based on the environment in which Xihe is located and the experience of aboriginal shipbuilders, we focus on medium-sized sailing ships - Chinese-style sailing boats! As well as a follow-up sailing study based on the extension of the Chinese-style sailing ship, which is currently in production with a displacement of between 800 and 1,000 tons, and can be ...... for offshore trade! "Andri is a great speaker, with well-worded, powerful and passionate words.

After talking for half an hour, Andriy talked about why he chose a Chinese-style sailboat, to the difference between an expeditionary sailboat and a real sailboat, to the materials used in the sailboat, the ability to resist wind and waves, the speed, etc., and he said it in simple terms, even Zhang Yuan, a layman, listened to it with relish, and those experts were full of a sense of achievement.

"I have a deep understanding of the difference between the expedition and reality, but I didn't expect the same difference in terms of ships, and I would like to thank you in advance for your efforts! I hope that in the coming days, you can go out of a more long-term road and build sailboats far beyond history! Zhang Yuan said encouragingly, it took more than a year to be able to build a medium-sized sailboat that is completely suitable for the expedition based on the actual sailing ship, and it can be said that they have worked quite hard.

After all, to build the same sailboat, it was necessary to research the most suitable wood for the sailboat, as well as the wood baking process, and to redesign the structure of the sailboat so that the ship could survive the expedition to the more terrifying seas. During the period of continuous research, trial production, and realization, each process is not tempered and finalized.

"Chairman, I'm Li Pingshi, the person in charge of a large sailing ship!"

"Hello, Professor Li!"

"For the big sailboats, we chose a high-speed sailboat - a scissor sailboat! And the sail battleships! At present, the flying scissor sailboat has been put into production, while the sail battleship is still in trial production and has not yet been finalized! ”

Subsequently, Li Pingshi began to talk about the flying scissor sailing ship in simple terms, the purpose of the large sailing ship is to sail away, and to expedition to the ocean that is thousands of times larger than the real world, you can imagine how many wind and waves, and once there is a tsunami, how terrifying it will be, so Li Pingshi and other experts have considered it for a long time and chose the flying scissor sailing ship with top-notch stability and wind and wave resistance.

The most important factor is that the clipper is fast enough to avoid the wind and waves more than any other yacht. (To be continued......)
