Zhao Xin, who was in another time and space, didn't know yet that he was almost deceived into becoming the spokesperson of "Ba Shen" in the human world. If he knew this, he might tie Jiang Xiucai to a stone bastard and throw them into Suifen River together.
I finally bought the cargo ship after debating for a long time. This 60,000-ton container ship was built in 2013, with a length of 250 meters and a draft of 14 meters. After Zhao Xin completed the formalities, in view of the work efficiency of the Africans, he decided to use bonuses to encourage these people to complete the renovation project as soon as possible.
The construction period given by the shipyard is one year, and Zhao Xin directly limited it to three months. When the shipyard boss heard Zhao Xin's proposal for a periodic bonus amount, he happily signed the agreement. The renovation project includes hull maintenance, removal of box guide posts on the deck, installation of pod side thrusters, main deck reinforcement and other projects.
On the day after signing the renovation agreement, Zhao Xin found a Swiss supervision company to serve as project supervision. Why look for the Swiss? To sum it up in one sentence, this is a group of French people who don’t want to be French, and Germans who are more German than Germans; they are so strict that they are annoying.
Sure enough, money was flowing all the way. When everything was ready and the first project payment was credited to the shipyard, the cargo ship entered the dry dock that day. Seeing that the project had begun and the supervisor came in, Zhao Xin embarked on the way back.
Two days later, Zhao Xin met Andrew via Europe. This time he purchased another 5,000 SKS; and the bullet production line that Andrew helped purchase last year has been disassembled and shipped, and will be shipped to the ice-free port by train in another 20 days.
As an intermediate-power bullet, each bullet is composed of a cartridge case and a warhead, and the warhead is divided into a cartridge case and a cartridge core. These three parts need to be produced separately and assembled together at the final step.
The processing of the cartridge case is relatively simple, mainly through the reverse extrusion method to basically shape the cartridge case barrel. A cutting machine is then used to cut off the waste material formed on the top of the cartridge barrel, and then it is cleaned with chemical reagents and surface treated at the bottom of the cartridge case.
The bullet processing process is divided into four processes: drawing processing, punching, making the bullet core, and bullet assembly.
After completing the manufacturing of the warhead and cartridge case, it is time to enter the process of assembling the finished bullet. Assembling a finished bullet is mainly divided into two parts, mainly the cartridge case, namely the processing of the primer and the assembly of the finished bullet. After the primer is installed, the machine tool simultaneously applies sealing paint between the primer and the cartridge case to prevent the primer from getting wet and the bullet from failing. Finally, the bomb assembly machine feeds the weighed propellant into the cartridge case, and finally squeezes the warhead into it. After weighing inspection and appearance inspection, a qualified bullet can be born.
Although such a large production line is very important, Zhao Xin cannot use it even after it is installed, so it can only be temporarily located in the warehouse. The first is that power generation equipment and various oils have become the biggest constraints to the current development of Beihai Town; the second is that there are not enough skilled workers.
To celebrate the completion of these two businesses, Andrew decided to treat Zhao Xin to a big meal.
While waiting for the food to be served, Andrew began to show off his newly purchased large yacht to Zhao Xin. When Zhao Xin looked at the photo, he discovered that this guy also bought an Azimut yacht. However, Andrew has a nouveau riche mentality and actually bought a super yacht.
"It looks great!"
Andrew was proud: "This boat can accommodate 10 passengers and can host a large party of 60 people at the same time."
"Oh, so where is your boat parked now?"
"Italy, of course!"
Zhao Xin fantasized about the hot scene of a carnival party, with a large group of beauties, plus an ugly guy called Andrew... Eh! shudder. But then he thought again, this guy was just an ordinary guy last year, and now he has the arrogance of a billionaire, all of which he made off of himself!
Andrew put away his phone and asked casually: "Zhao, you are so rich, why don't you buy a yacht?"
"Me? These boats are too small to look at." The waiter served the appetizers, and Zhao Xin prepared to concentrate on the seafood salad in front of him.
"Azimut also has large yachts. When I was choosing a yacht, someone told me about the LANA, which is 300 feet long. Zhao, you should buy one. We can be a companion and go fishing together when we have time."
Zhao Xin asked casually: "LANA number? How much does it cost?"
"Three hundred million dollars."
"Your uncle~!" Zhao Xin cursed in his heart. However, something suddenly moved in his mind and he said tentatively: "It's boring. If conditions permit, I will buy a warship and use it as a yacht."
"You have a good idea! I heard that a wealthy man in the Middle East did this. Let's drink a drink to this crazy idea!" Andrew raised his neck, and the large glass of brandy was gone in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Xin put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Crazy? No, my friend. As long as you are brave and rich, it shouldn't be difficult to buy a warship."
"There are many old warships that have been retired, but it is too expensive to renovate them. It is more expensive than buying a new one."
"Oh. What about buying a small frigate?"
"You mean?" There is no fool who can do arms business. Andrew reacted quickly. He stared at Zhao Xin for a while and then a strange smile appeared on his face.
After that, the two of them had a tacit understanding and never mentioned the warship again, but Zhao Xin knew that Andrew had understood what he meant.
In fact, the small frigates of a certain northern country are not expensive. The 800-ton frigate costs only US$30 million to build, has a length of 65 meters and a top speed of 56 kilometers per hour. There is a deck at the stern for operating large helicopters and drones, and a crew of 30 can stay at sea for 15 days at a time.
The weapon system that was originally supposed to be equipped included a 76mm rapid-fire gun, eight launch tubes, which could accommodate a 1.2-ton anti-ship missile with a range of 300 kilometers or an anti-ship missile with a range of 600 kilometers, and two 14.5mm machine guns. Multi-barreled 30mm automatic cannon. In addition, there are 32 anti-aircraft missiles. But in the 18th century, who should we hit with anti-ship missiles?
Fighting a sailing warship? This is too wasteful!
There are also helicopter decks and anti-aircraft missiles, which are completely useless! Instead of doing this, it is better to install two 76mm cannons and add more 30mm automatic cannons.
Let's test it out first and see if we can open the way to purchase naval equipment. If Zhao Xin is really given a destroyer, with Beihai Town's current technological level, it can only be used as a coastal fort.
Two days later, when Zhao Xin returned to Beihai Town, he found that the entire western part of the town had turned into a large construction site. A mile away from the seaside in the west end of the town, several excavators and thousands of people have been working hard for many days, and the appearance of a huge dry dock has begun to take shape. The main road that runs from east to west in the center of the town continues to extend westward. Refugees from Henan and Shandong are building wooden fences on both sides of the road.
Chen Qingsong's arrangement for these new refugees is to arrange for two families to stay in each wooden house to deal with this winter first. In the spring of next year, many people will go north to Fuldan City to open up the vast area on the south bank of Xingkai Lake.
Even so, Beihai Town, which accepts refugees, still has to build a large number of houses. Zhao Xin once told Lu Shoushan that the number of people transported to Beihai Town this year will reach at least 15,000.
The civil affairs department that Chen Qingsong was responsible for worked for seven or eight days before completing the population registration of the first batch of more than 5,000 Qing refugees and appointing the following group leaders and district leaders. As for the district chief, Chen Qingsong decided not to use it for the time being until the first batch of refugees got used to the various living systems here.
On the afternoon of Zhao Xin's return, more than a hundred newly elected residents' group leaders and a dozen district leaders attended the first meeting convened by the local Mr. Chen with trepidation. Chen Qingsong communicated with the school and temporarily requisitioned a large classroom in the school.
More than a hundred refugees, led by several officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and supervised by seven or eight armed security police, walked into the school in surprise. At this time, there were still classes in other classrooms. When they heard the sound of reading, the faces of these refugees from Henan showed envious expressions.
In the hearts of ancient farmers, those who go to school will become masters in the future. So these people didn't even dare to make a fuss and walked into the classroom tiptoe. As a result, the few people walking in front were stunned as soon as they entered the classroom. The landlord's house was not so clean and bright.
"This...is this a school?" Several homeless people from Henan Province wearing tattered cotton-padded clothes didn't even dare to step forward. They felt that if they walked inside, they would pollute the place.
"Come in, it's warm inside. Find a place to sit down." Chen Qingsong stood on the podium and said to the stunned people with a smile.
Seeing Chen Qingsong's smile, Zhu Dagui, who was standing at the front, quickly bent down and bowed. While on the ship, he heard from the sailors that kneeling was not popular here in the North Sea. If the masters see you kneeling to them, they will be angry. Zhu Dagui felt strange, how could there be any reason in the world not to kneel down when seeing the master?
The smiling old man Zhu Dagui in front of him had seen him when he got off the boat. Those who reported to him did not even kneel down. Ever since he was appointed as the team leader in a daze, Zhu Dagui thought that the gentlemen were choosing government officials, so he would naturally have to kneel down to express gratitude. Unexpectedly, as soon as he knelt down, he was scolded. He said that if he knelt down again, he would be stripped of his position as group leader.
After three days, Zhu Dagui knew who the group leader was. It turned out that he was just an errand boy with no salary at all. He was not happy about this. According to Zhu Dagui's idea, everyone lives behind closed doors. Why do you want me to explain what the master said one by one? I don't even have ears? ! It's so cold right now, and if you have this free time, it's really important to move into the house as soon as possible.
As more and more people entered the classroom, it quickly became full. Some people either sat on a chair next to someone they knew, and some simply squatted on the ground.
Chen Qingsong first made an opening statement: "Let me introduce myself. My surname is Chen, and my name is Chen Qingsong. I am responsible for managing civil affairs here in Beihai. What is civil affairs? It is to teach everyone how to live here, how to farm, and how to work. I guess someone has said it, so you don’t even need to say that. Who among the bankers doesn’t know how to do this?”
The imagined laughter did not appear, and a group of farmers looked at Chen Qingsong blankly. They have never seen such an official before!
Just listen to Chen Qingsong continue: "Everyone comes here, and from now on they can farm and work with peace of mind. Let me tell you a secret, although the winter here is long, the black soil is full of fat! This year we are seven The monthly harvest of grain is six hundred pounds per mu..."
What? ! All the farmers in the room were shocked! Six hundred pounds? !
Not to mention the severe drought and floods in the past two years, even if the weather is good in previous years and a bead of sweat breaks into eight pieces on the ground, the harvest of sorghum per mu will only be 200 to 300 kilograms.
Zhu Dagui's mind was buzzing, and the only words that came to his mind were "six hundred catties." According to his previous experience as a tenant, if he usually pays the rent after the harvest, his family can still afford three hundred catties? ! What a day it is!
Someone among the refugees in the classroom said, "Master, is what you are saying true? I have never seen one acre of land produce six hundred kilograms of sorghum!"
Chen Qingsong smiled and said: "I'm not talking about sorghum, but wheat, and white flour!"
As soon as these words came out, the jaws of the more than a hundred farmers in the classroom dropped to the ground. I have a mother-in-law! I have been farming all my life and have never eaten white flour. If I can eat sorghum porridge and boiled vegetables and leaves, I will have a safe life. After they disembarked these days, they ate corn cob porridge and big wotou with dried fish and cabbage. This made all the refugees feel grateful and burst into tears.
"We have a rule here. You all heard it clearly! Everyone, I mean everyone, you don't have to pay rent for the first five years, and the food you grow belongs to you! From the sixth year on, The annual rent is only 10%!”
boom! With four 24 guns and a Dashun, the more than 100 Henan farmers in the classroom were all stunned!
In the workshop on the east bank of the river, Zhao Xin found Fang Hua who was busy and told him about the bullet production line. Then Zhao Xin asked whether bullet propellant could be produced.
In later generations, with the emergence of smokeless gunpowder, double-base gunpowder, detonators, TNT, etc. in the 19th century, black powder originally used as propellant has been basically eliminated.
Early smokeless gunpowder generally used nitrocellulose invented by the Swiss Schönbai. The gunpowder generated in this way was very unstable and explosion accidents occurred many times. In the 1880s, Frenchman P. Viery dissolved nitrocellulose in ether and alcohol, added an appropriate amount of stabilizer to it, and turned it into a gel, which was pressed into sheets, cut into strips, and dried to harden. The world's first smokeless gunpowder was produced.
Upon hearing this, Fang Hua said casually: "As long as you have absorbent cotton and nitric acid, this is easy. However, this is a flammable product. Once it is manufactured in large quantities, you must pay attention to its preservation."
Zhao Xindao: "But why did I hear that nitrocellulose film is easy to explode?"
Fang Hua said: "It needs to be stabilized. And it must not come into contact with acidic substances."
Zhao Xin scratched his head and asked, "Sleeping pills?" For him, a chemical idiot, his first reaction was "sleeping pills."
Fang Hua smiled bitterly and shook his head. He thought for a moment and explained in the simplest terms: "Stabilization treatment is actually adding a wetting agent. Nitrocellulose will be accompanied by unstable impurities during the manufacturing process, and these unstable impurities are easily decomposed. .At the same time, the decomposition process will continue to accelerate the decomposition rate of nitrocellulose. Only when nitrocellulose is stabilized to completely remove unstable impurities and slow down the catalytic effect of nitrocellulose can it be stored for a long time. In addition, if To ensure the safety of transportation of nitrocellulose, we can also add plasticizer to plasticize and compress it to obtain nitrocellulose paint flakes."
OK, Zhao Xin understood it immediately.
