"Oh~~There is such a good thing here? Is this a model of a previous battleship?"
"This is not a model. This is the Pinghai, a meritorious ship in the era of sailing battleships. It made a contribution in the war that year. At that time, the technological barbarians in Iberia had not yet been wiped out. They were also able to organize themselves to compete with the king's division. fleet. However, they only had dual-purpose ships like Galen ships at the time, and the warships of the Wang Division were all real warships. In the Battle of Gibraltar, their last stand was wiped out by the Longjiang Navy. At that time, the battleship of the Longjiang Navy This is the type used. Isn’t it in the book?”
"Ah... I didn't take it. It's a history class I didn't take."
"It doesn't matter, just memorize it before the exam, otherwise you won't be able to write a strategy. The battleships of the King's Division back then were all Fuchuan-type battleships - not Fuchuan, but Fuchuan battleships, all of which had been transformed into battleships. .Compared with those cumbersome Galen ships, our battleships use advanced hard sails, so only half of the sailors are needed to maneuver the 5-masted fast battleship. The navy of the King's Division can therefore concentrate an entire fleet on the local battlefield. The fleet went to kill their sentry ships. Master Wang used the 'Ling Chi' method to gradually compress the warships of the technological barbarians back to the Strait of Gibraltar, and then when the right time, place and people were in place, the outcome would be decided in a single battle."
"So our ship is faster?"
"Yes, it is like this even now. All martial arts in the world are invincible, only speed. Those technological barbarians can build funny barrel-like ships that can carry more than a hundred cannons. But they can't do it even if they try their best. Only a few ships could be built, and other warships simply could not reach the average level of the King's Division. So when the King's Division used tower ships to bombard those hundred-gun ships, Pinghai, as the leader of the outpost, detoured back to On the side, a single salvo destroyed the ammunition depot of the Holy Trinity. The Pinghai was retired as a meritorious ship and has been kept here ever since."
"Just keep it in the water?"
"Hmm... I heard that it can no longer be taken out. I originally wanted to move it 30 years ago, but it started to fall apart as soon as it was taken out of the water, so I had to leave it where it was."
"That's very well said." There was applause from behind, "So we engineers have a saying: if it can be used, don't touch it."
"Ah, Chief Wu. Why did you come out?"
"I've put aside everything else this afternoon and am here to receive you. Come on, come in and talk."
...
Entering the inner room, Director Wu arranged a chair for them next to a long table. They are not neglected just because they are children.
The clerk who led the way just now brought them tea: Coke and a small plate of mung bean cake.
"I know you don't like tea, so you drink Coke. Then inside, you don't need to call me a professional title, just call me senior. I'm more than ten years older than you, and I also graduated from school before."
"Oh~~Senior, how much is your current salary?" Qi Yuan asked immediately.
Manager Wu almost choked when he took a sip of tea: "You, a primary school girl, really... really asked the question, you really should ask, because you may come to work. Our Longjiang Shipyard will go to major colleges and universities to recruit. , when the time comes to apply for the middle school where you are from, the recruiter will know. If you successfully join the job, the basic salary will be set at around 12 taels per month based on the monthly salary of an eighth-grade official."
"What about the future?" She asked in passing about the development prospects.
"It will slowly rise to between 20 taels and 30 taels within ten years, and then it depends on fate. If you can pass the assessment of a level 6 fitter, you can have 40 taels. A level 8 fitter can be set at more than 50 taels, but that's already It’s the realm of legends. I remember there were quite a few of them in the palace. There are only two level 8 workers in the shipyard who are about to retire - but at this level, the salary actually doesn’t matter anymore. Anyway, the shipyard provides food and accommodation, no It costs too much money. You can go into politics if you want, but the highest salary is in the shipyard. After all, we front-line manufacturing plants are the richest places. In addition to the basic salary, there are many additional benefits. In the imperial court, the water is very clear. , I can’t get much money.”
"Then who are you, senior?"
"Ah...Actually, I am less than 12 taels. Although I am a supervisor, I am only sent here by the imperial court to manage the accounts. Although I did well in school when I was in middle school, I didn't work hard in college. So I had no choice but to hang out in the Yamen, and finally became a Jinshi at the bottom of the top three when I was over 30 years old. After going around in circles, I finally returned to the shipyard. The two juniors and juniors should not imitate me. You have to study hard and don't slack off in college. This is the advice I give you as a senior. Although I won't starve to death, I am just hanging around, and I am getting further and further away from a truly great career."
"Yeah, yeah." Qi Yuan nodded repeatedly.
"Then, let's talk about you guys. This time's sponsorship - I'll say it first. The shipyard's sponsorship to Longjiang Team has always been top-tier. We will provide it in accordance with the top-tier sponsorship stipulated by the Ministry of Industry. No matter how much we give, No more. So the amount has never been an issue, the question is how the money should be spent. I reviewed the report you submitted in advance, Xuemei Lu, and I wonder how much you know about the 'continuously variable transmission set' you requested? "
"The continuously variable transmission set, also known as the continuously variable transmission, is the supreme mechanical beauty. It can maintain the engine itself in the best working condition and at the peak of the torque range. With it, we can save the need for shifting gears This allows the engine to run at full power from the start and take the lead in the race.”
"Well, there is no problem with your view on the application. But I have to analyze it for you from the perspective of display: This set of stepless transmission was originally developed by Longjiang Shipyard for amphibious combat vehicles. Because amphibious combat vehicles have to deal with sea and the complex conditions on land, the traditional gearbox will be too bulky and inefficient. So there is this continuously variable gearbox, which can switch between the high speed at sea and the high torque on land at any time. However, it is now It's in the experimental stage. It's driven by a complicated steel belt, and if you use an engine that's too powerful, it's going to shorten its lifespan a lot."
"Yes, we have calculated it. We specially borrowed a 12-cylinder aero engine from Wuhu. The continuously variable transmission can only be used for 4 hours in this case. It will be scrapped after 4 hours. In other words In short, if the test time is included, each gearbox can only run one stop."
"It seems that you have a full understanding. So even if it is 4 hours, do you want to give it a try? The remaining budget is only enough to provide you with 5 groups."
"That's enough. We have to go all out here."
"Very good." Director Wu nodded, "I trust the judgment of front-line professionals."
"That's it, okay?" This situation was even beyond Qi Yuan's expectations. She thought she needed to explain a little more.
"Okay, go and sign." He motioned Qi Yuan to go with the clerk next to him and go to the accountant to sign.
Shangluo stood up and was about to follow -
"Please stay for a moment, I have something to say."
...
"So, you are Shangluo, right?" Manager Wu sat in the same seat, and this time Shangluo sat opposite.
"Yes...it's me. What can you do?"
"Introduce yourself." He took out a jade plaque, "Jin Yiwei Beizhen, Wu Jiu, they asked me to watch Lao Jiu from the shipyard."
"Then what you just said..."
"It's all true. I won't lie to my schoolmates. It's all true. I was recruited as a Qi Practitioner, and ended up going around in circles before I returned to the shipyard I wanted to work in when I was a child. Moreover, my salary was really It's less than 12 taels. But her request is a bit paranoid. I had to review it before agreeing - of course I probably wouldn't refuse. But if you weren't here, I wouldn't agree so happily. As for the reason Well..."
He pointed upward: "There is an order from above, asking me to cooperate with your work as much as possible. So I cooperate with you to the maximum extent within the scope of the rules."
"Ah...thank you."
"No need to thank me. I heard that General Bai Feng is going to treat you to dinner tonight? Work hard. He should be able to guide you in building the foundation. Our hopes are all on you."
"Yes." Shangluo nodded, "I will."
"Tell me something happy, don't put too much pressure on me. Do you know why Jin Yiwei sent people to Longjiang Shipyard to take charge? Come, let me show you something good."
Walking to the edge of the floor-to-ceiling window, he pointed to the dock:
Surrounded by red scaffolding is a huge battleship like a mountain. The battleship is still under construction, but the main guns have been put in place early. However, the main gun is more than just a barrel. Golden lines are intertwined on the barrel, forming a mysterious formation. At the top of the bridge, a phoenix spreads its wings in a golden halo. The outline of the spread wings and the halo form two concentric circles.
"Is that...a battleship?"
"The super battleship 'Lianshan' is under construction. Those golden lines you see are divine chromium. It is the same as the armor you saw in the Jinyiwei warehouse. Although I don't know the principle yet, it can kill The secret weapon of the Heavenly Beings in the Foundation Establishment Period.”
"Can you kill even heavenly beings? Why build such a weapon? Could it be..."
"This is Daozu's order. Daozu has predicted the coming heavy rain, and we need to prepare for a rainy day. Conventional means cannot kill the heavenly beings, so we will make a big one and put it on a battleship. Only a battleship can bear the huge weight of the divine chromium— -The lines you see are actually just thin sheets of gold foil, which are attached to the barrel. I didn’t use a punch-sized amount of chromium, but it almost crushed the bracket. I don’t know why. Build it, but Taozu has his own reasons. Do you know what I’m thinking?”
He looked at Shangluo: "I'm thinking, if just a little bit of divine chromium can fight against heavenly beings, then where did the set of divine chromium armor in the warehouse come from? Who put it in the warehouse, you How to open it again. So, don’t worry, you have a great chance. General Bai Feng will prepare a training plan for you tonight. Maybe, General Bai Feng will have to get it from you. Learn something."
