When Li Yuanhong heard that it would take five years to build a ship, his heart sank, and his last hope was dashed. It seemed that he wanted to build his own ship to fight against pirates. This road could not work.
"Why did shipbuilding take so long?" Li Yuanhong asked casually.
"Shipbuilding is a delicate work. The steel plates of the ship should be welded, so there should be no interesting carelessness. There should be no careless connection among various parts. Once there is a little carelessness, it may cause the ship to be destroyed or killed. As for that A-San, they built a warship. As a result, the heat insulation board of the boiler was made of firebrick made by our country, which was not insulated at all. As a result, these people cut corners and changed the drawings without authorization. As a result, during the sea trial, five boilers were burnt out and four were falsely accused of substandard materials. "
"What else? Isn't this a big joke?" Li Yuanhong is very surprised!
"So shipbuilding can't be sloppy."
"If only the ship could be moulded as a whole." Next to Zhao Rui muttered.
"What do you say?" Li Yuanhong didn't hear what Zhao Rui said, so he asked again.
"Oh, I mean, it would be nice if the body could be made into a large mold and then poured directly with molten iron."
On hearing this, the two engineers laughed and said, "ha ha, Captain Zhao is really a joke. Not to mention that it takes a lot of time to build the mold. Even if the mold can be built, it will not be able to cast such a huge hull. In particular, it is almost impossible to ensure that there are no air holes and sand holes in the hull. "
After listening to the words of the two engineers, Li Yuanhong asked, "can't we build a ship with other materials?"
"Other materials? The reason why steel is used as a hull in modern times is that it is too big for other materials to make such a large ship. In the past, wood was used to make the hull. As a result, it was easy to be destroyed by wind, waves and shells, and there was no way to fight. "
"How about ice?" Li Yuanhong suddenly remembered the ice city wall.
"With ice? This is feasible, but not so! " An engineer replied.
"Why is it possible and not feasible?" Li Yuanhong asked?
"During World War II, Britain built iceships in response to the German attack, but once they went out to sea, they were no longer able to do so. The engines of all ships had a fatal defect, that is, heating. As a result, the ice ships were melted by their own heat. Therefore, it is feasible and not feasible to build iceships without solving the problem of engine heating. If the problem of engine heating is not solved, it will be impossible to build iceships that can fight."
After listening to the engineer's words, Li Yuanhong's brain began to turn rapidly. After thinking for a while, Li Yuanhong asked the two engineers, "if the engine problem is solved, how long will it take to build an iceboat?"
"According to the current weather conditions, it will take one month to build an iceboat, and half a month to make it fast. It depends on the complexity of the iceboat."
On hearing this, Li Yuanhong immediately became excited: "OK, let's build an iceboat, and call me about the engine. You can make some drawings of the iceboat first, and then we'll discuss the feasibility."
Two engineers look at Li Yuanhong in a daze. This man will not be crazy, will he? We didn't make it clear just now. Where is he going to get the engine that doesn't heat up?
Ignoring the fact that the two engineers were still in a daze, Li Yuanhong turned around and strode out of the shipyard. Li Yuanhong wanted to find someone to make a non hot engine as soon as possible. This may be related to whether pirates can be eradicated in the near future. If the pirates are not eliminated, their development will be limited. In particular, many routes from Vladivostok are crucial routes. Those pirates not only threaten the sea Land transportation also seriously threatens land transportation, which may completely cut off the route to Vladivostok, which Li Yuanhong does not want to see.
Riding a Griffin, Li Yuanhong hurried back to the valley base. It's almost a month since it's been a busy place. Although it's winter, the farms built by Shentian and Li Yuanhong are still busy. Moreover, it has become an important industrial and research center. Dr. Bai brought by the second Chief Executive has doubled the strength of the entire scientific research team If the magic weapon and the gun can not be successfully developed, they will not only be more powerful than the gun, but also can be used in the modern weapon system A warrior of level 10 can also kill zombies of level 10 or higher. That will be the beginning of a real counterattack.
When Li Yuanhong walked into the magic tower, it was no longer desolate. In addition to the guards, there were people in white coats going in and out of the laboratory from time to time. These people were assistants of various professors. From time to time, these people carried various materials, that is, with reports. It was a busy scene.
Seeing Li Yuanhong's arrival, the security guard rushed up and said, "here comes the captain. Who are you going to look for today?" Li Yuanhong is a busy man. He never wanders around without a job.
"What is Dr. yuan doing now?" Li Yuanhong asked.
"Dr. yuan is doing the final debugging work on the car engine." The guard reported.
"Oh, I'll see Dr. yuan rest later. I have something to do with him.""Yes, I wrote it down. I'll inform Dr. yuan later." Guard road.
"Well, I'll go to the rest area and have a rest. You can get me a cup of black tea. I'll refresh myself."
"Yes The guard stepped back.
Li Yuanhong came to the rest area. After sitting down for a while, he fell asleep. He was too busy for the past two days and didn't have a good rest. Especially in the air, he was very physically exhausted, so he went to sleep as soon as he sat down.
I don't know how long after that, Li Yuanhong felt that someone was calling him: "Captain, Captain, Dr. yuan is here!"
Li Yuanhong quickly opened his eyes, dimly saw that Dr. yuan was staring at him and smiling. Li Yuanhong quickly rubbed his cheek with both hands to wake himself up. Then he took up the tea cup and drank the tea in one breath.
Seeing Li Yuanhong awake, Dr. yuan asked, "what's the matter with you today, little Li?"
"Well, I want Dr. yuan to study a non heating marine power plant." Li Yuanhong said to the point.
"A non heating power plant? What do you want this for? " Dr. yuan asked curiously.
"I'm going to build Iceboats!" Li Yuanhong said.
"Building ice boats?" Two voices rang at the same time, one from Dr. yuan and the other from behind Li Yuanhong. Li Yuanhong quickly looked back and saw an old man with white hair standing behind him. It was Dr. Bai.
When Dr. Bai saw Li Yuanhong looking at him, he complained, "what are you doing here again? Last time you came here to ask me to do some acceptance check, which made me delay half a day's research time. Do you know how precious time is now?"
"It's not forced by helplessness. If you don't act, how can I bring out the traitor. I'm not here to disturb your research. " Li Yuanhong quickly said with a smile that he was absolutely the ancestor of these old scientists and did not dare to offend them at all.
"Don't talk nonsense. What's the matter with making ice boats?"
So Li Yuanhong talked about the pirates, the difficulties in shipbuilding, and his idea of building ice boats.
"I don't see. You still have a lot of ideas in your head. Why don't you come and do research with me?" Dr. Bai seduced Li Yuanhong.
"No, I'm active and not quiet, so don't let me do research." Li Yuanhong said quickly.
"I know you're a monkey. You can't be steady for two minutes." Dr. Bai gave Li Yuanhong a big veto, and then turned to Dr. yuan and said, "I said Lao yuan, do you think this engine can be done?"
"If before, I didn't dare to say, but now there is Rune magic, it's really uncertain that this kind of engine can be built, but it needs to consume a lot of crystal nuclei. If we had the tenth order crystal nucleus mentioned by this guy earlier, maybe we can build a new type of space engine." Dr. yuan sighed.
At the mention of the ten level nuclei, Li Yuanhong suddenly remembered the fifty cavemen who had been released by himself. They were fifty tenth order nuclei. So he quickly said to Dr. yuan: "I will get the ten order crystal nucleus for you as soon as possible. When can you research out the engine?" Li Yuanhong was afraid that Dr. yuan would give him a promise of two or three years. In that case, everything would be cold!
"Lao Bai, how many days would you like to tell him?" Dr. yuan asked, looking at Dr. Bai.
"It's a new challenge. I think we'll give him a long time. We need to build more than one engine." Dr. White said.
Li Yuanhong's heart cluttered for a moment and said in secret, "it's over. This time we can't delay it for five years."
"One month, then! What do you think of Lao Bai? "
Dr. white nodded and said, "that's a month."
Now Li Yuanhong was completely relieved. He was so upset that he expected to stay here and have a heart attack sooner or later, so he left in a hurry.
Li Yuanhong left the laboratory and went back to Chuncheng directly. Li Yuanhong has promised to get ten level crystal nuclei. This is not something you can get with your mouth. Now that he knows there are ten level crystal nuclei, only the Mongolian grassland. There are now zombies and cavemen fighting. He thinks it is not easy to fish in troubled waters. Therefore, we must find some ways to complete this task, Moreover, it may not be completed in a short time. Therefore, Li Yuanhong needs to settle down his own interior. He does not want to go away and rebel again. Last time, he lost his nest just a little bit.
Li Yuanhong called the heads of all departments together, and then said, "we have been working hard recently, but this is the end of the world. I hope you don't slack off. If you have any problems, you should communicate more. If you encounter difficulties, you should carry them more than one person and mobilize the wisdom of the people below. By the way, Liu Hu, how is the public order now? "
"The law and order is OK, but recently, there are always some vagrants who make trouble. We often rush to them, and they run away and fail to catch them several times."
"Don't look down on these troublemakers. Once the bad guys can't get the punishment they deserve, they may be brave enough to kill and set fire to people in the city. I think these people are capable people. You can organize a team of capable people to deal with them. In addition, you should cooperate closely with Ma Fengyong. He has a lot of information you can use. Don't forget to collect intelligence. This is conducive to preventing trouble before it happens. ""It's brother Li. I wrote it down." Liu Hu nodded.
"Commander Xiao, how are your new recruits training?"
"It will take two or three months for the recruits to go to the battlefield with their eggs and skins."
"Well, it's cold here in winter, and the machines are not convenient to operate. It's just the time to train troops. In addition, you can break up the general team and go to the outskirts of Siping City to collect scattered zombies. This can pave the way for our next action and train the courage of new recruits."
"Good idea. I'll arrange it later!" Xiao said happily.
"By the way, do you have any news from fan Junjie and Shen Mengxi?"
"He is fighting on both sides, but the effect is not good and the loss is relatively large. However, it should not be a problem to win the corresponding cities. "
"Well, it seems that they despise the enemy too much!" Li Yuanhong sighed.
