Chapter 446： Dieter Rams

Romanian eagle chapter 446 Dieter Rams's audio novel listen online

While naval personnel inspected the Royal Wilhelm Shipyard, other Romanians in Germany also had tasks.

Two men in suits were knocking on the door outside a two-story building on the Loewsstrasse in Hamburg.

"Crunch."

After the door was opened, an old woman looked out.

At this time one of the men smiled and said, "Hello, is this Mr. Dieter Rams's house?"

"Yes, what can I do with you?"

"Hello, we are from Romania. I heard that Mr. Dieter Rams is currently at home, so we came to visit specially."

Upon hearing the man's words, the old woman examined the two strangers, and then opened the door. Now that there are too many unemployed people in Germany, the law and order is not very good, and some precautions are normal. So far the two are no surprise at all.

"Rames, these two gentlemen are looking for you."

After the old woman took the two to the living room, she immediately went upstairs and shouted to a room.

At this time, there was a slow response from the room, "Good mother, I know. Come here when I finish the picture, let them wait a little bit."

Who knows that this sentence made the old woman a little unhappy, she immediately shouted through the door with a loud voice, "I keep drawing your drawings every day when nothing happens. Can these drawings become real objects? You have been kicked out by the design bureau. Don’t forget those boats. Someday I am upset, so I’ll use all of your drawings to set them on fire."

The two visitors who listened to the conversation looked at each other and smiled silently.

After a while, the old woman came to them with a teapot and two cups.

"Two, please have tea first."

"Thank you."

Looking at the inferior black tea in the cup in front of them, combined with the clean but severely worn furniture in the living room, the two have a general understanding of the economic situation of the family.

The waiting time for the two was not long, and soon a middle-aged man in his forties in a shirt and vest walked downstairs. The hair seemed to be left unchecked for several days and looked messy. And the waistcoat was probably only worn because the buckle was misplaced, but the owner didn't notice it.

The two had seen the photos before they came, and it was confirmed that this was Dieter Rams himself.

"Hello, Mr. Dieter Rams."

Before he came to the front, the two greeted him and said, "My name is Alex. This is my colleague Boris. We are from Romania."

Faced with the enthusiasm of the two, Dieter Rams was going to calm down a lot. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two and said, "Two gentlemen, good morning."

After the three of them were seated, Dieter Rams said directly, "If you two have anything to say, I'm still busy drawing pictures."

Facing the directness of Dieter Rams, the two immediately overturned the previous plan, and the Romanian named Alex said, "Then let's just say it, we are Romanian naval personnel. I heard your Excellency He has his own unique insights in ship design, so I intend to invite your Excellency to design warships for our navy."

"Romanian Navy?"

"Yes, that's right, it's the Romanian Navy."

Dieter Rams, who got an affirmative answer, said with a smile, "As far as I know, the largest warship of the Romanian Navy is a Corvette-class cruiser of our country. If you know that the ship I designed is much larger than this, you are sure to be able to Do you get government funding?"

Don't blame Dieter Rams for saying this, because it's talking about the status quo of the Romanian navy, and what he said is pretty good. Among the German navy designers that Romania contacted, most of them heard that it was the Romanian navy's invitation, and directly politely refused. Both of them have become accustomed to this.

"Mr. Dieter Rams, our current naval strength is indeed not on the stage. However, our country has realized the shortcomings of this problem, and has been increasing naval military expenditure. In addition, our country is negotiating the purchase of the Royal William Shipyard, as long as it can Relocating this shipyard to Romania, we will have the ability to manufacture warships of more than 10,000 tons. I think your Excellency is familiar with the capabilities of the Royal William Shipyard."

In the face of the two, Dieter Rams certainly knew the strength of the William Royal Shipyard. Being able to build a king-class shipyard, I have been to this many times.

"However, the relocation of the shipyard is not a trivial matter, and the loss of employees and equipment during the relocation is not small."

When the two heard that this recruitment was a play, they immediately followed up and said, "Of course, we will recruit employees from the original shipyard as long as they are willing to go to Romania. And in order to enhance the strength of this shipyard, we will also recruit excellent shipbuilders in Germany. Mechanic. We will strive to make this shipyard a world-famous shipyard and let the world know its name."

Dieter Rams listened to the Romanian naval officer finishing his words, and then asked, "But this is just your Romanian plan, but what does it have to do with me."

Faced with the question raised by this Mr. Dieter Rams suddenly, the two of them did not react. "what?"

"I said this is just your Romanian plan, what does it have to do with me."

Facing the sudden question from Dieter Rams, the two immediately racked their brains to think.

Wrong direction?

This is very possible. You know this Mr. Dieter Rams, but in the German Navy Ship Design Bureau, he is also at odds with his colleagues. In fact, from the very beginning when he received two people, he had no doubt that who would let the other person finish quickly when receiving others, and he was still busy with something. It is precisely because of his personality, otherwise he would not be talented in design, and he would be laid off immediately. For such a genius designer with withdrawn personality, it is indeed impossible to use the previous method.

After trying to understand the problem, Alex continued, "Indeed, the shipyard is only building facilities, and the designer is the soul of the warship. I wonder if you can let us take a look at your workshop. We heard you in Drawing drawings, it happens that we also know a thing or two about the design of warships."

"You also know warship design?"

"know a bit."

Sure enough, after hearing that the two also understood ship design, Dieter Rams' attitude became unusual. He warmly invited to "Then come and see with me, and evaluate how my work is."

The two followed Dieter Rams to his workshop. As soon as I opened the door of the workshop, there were messy drawings and a half-drawn hull drawing, and there were some dried coffee stains spilled on the workbench, proclaiming that this talented designer is not a genius designer who likes to deal with details. People.

Dieter Rams took the two to a drawing, pointed to it and said to them, "Guess what ship this drawing is based on."

The two looked at this drawing with a huge chimney towering above it, which looked a bit like Bavaria, and the turret layout of the first two after one, did not see any German style at all, but the layout of the two triangular rail rods was somewhat similar. Flinger-class battlecruiser. It looks more like the floor plan.

After an exchange, the two tried to say, "Is this a Flinger-level change?"

After hearing the words of the two, Dieter Rams said happily, "Yes, this is a drastically changed drawing of the Fringe class. I changed the four turrets of the front two rear two layouts to the three front two rear turrets. , So that one more cannon can be produced. And the flue is also changed to one, like a Bavarian level. The Battle of Jutland has shown that too many flues can easily increase the possibility of being hit, and will affect the shooting. No. I think that if the modified ship is almost impossible to see the prototype of the ship, you can also know the whole story."

Obviously this is a test. If the two of them cannot answer, it is likely that the visit will end. After passing, Dieter Rams drew the two to the other drawings, telling the plan of his own design. The two saw the improved drawings based on various types of warships.

The Bavarian class, the Mackensen class, the King class, the Queen Elizabeth class, the Duke of Cavour class, the Joint Force class, the Wyoming class, and so on, the two felt that they had come to the drawing of a national battleship.

Of course, Dieter Rams has made other ship drawings besides improving the battleship, but these drawings can't see its prototype in his hands. It's no blame for the two of them, who knows that this person is so perverted, and he has collected all the drawings of ships from various countries. The two also asked him curiously about this. Who knew that Dieter Rams said that most of his drawings were surveyed and drawn through photos. Because the principles of warship design are the same, as long as you understand the principles, you can achieve the three reasonable layouts of firepower, speed, and protection.

These remarks made sense, and the two of them were a little blushing, and it turned out that the geniuses were extraordinary.

After visiting his studio, the two who felt that they found the treasure immediately recommended the talented designer to Carust. And said that this can guarantee the future of Romanian navy warships are at the first-class design level. Your Excellency, the Chief Guard, is very curious about how a designer can guarantee the quality of naval vessel design.

So one day, the chief guard rushed over with naval negotiators. These naval personnel are a little dissatisfied with the fact that one person can change the level of design. None of them has been in it for many years, and they dare not speak such big words.

At this time, Dieter Rams showed his ability to pervert. He retorted all the Romanian navy personnel who came to his speechlessness, and was impressed by the talent of this genius.

For this reason, Carust also specifically informed Edel about the Dieter Rams genius by telegraph.

"Dieter Rams, I haven't heard of this name."

Edel took the telegram to think about it I have never heard of this famous name in his later generations. But it doesn't matter if I haven't heard, as long as Romania is a genius, he can go all out to recruit. After all, Romania needs a navy in the future, and he is not reconciled to being shrunk in the Black Sea.

So under Edel's instructions, Romania reserved the seat of chief ship designer for this genius. More importantly, he was given a three-year commitment that he will be responsible for designing a warship of more than 10,000 tons in the Romanian Navy. Within six years, he will design a battleship for Romania.

It is also a unique condition in the world to set out two design tasks for warships for a naval designer. Not to mention there is a battleship, which is simply incredible.

So Dieter Rams became famous for this, and other powers were surprised by Romania's actions. In the ship design industry, it has also caused an uproar. Battleships are not facing competition from many peers, and even those who use off-board tactics are not a few.

The consequence of this is that there are many unscrupulous ship designers who have developed a great interest in Romania. They all took their own plans and went to Romania to promote themselves. They didn't ask for the same conditions as Dieter Rams, as long as their design could meet the construction.

However, the arrival of so many designers in Romania puts pressure on the navy department. However, it is a pity that most of the desperate designers are not really strong enough, and only a few belong to real talents. Of course, these talents were not let go by the navy department, and they were immediately enriched into the design department.

Therefore, the strength of Romanian ship design has also grown rapidly. After the relocation of the Royal William Shipyard was completed, a large number of excellent design drawings were also placed in front of the Navy. And at this time they also experienced the troubles of happiness.
