Hardware and software, these two rare and incomprehensible words, were learned from the American mathematician Neumann as the executor of the imperial blockade plan.
The hardware description is determined by a country's industrial base and industrial strength, and the software describes a country's spiritual level and various institutional standards.
Since the empire occupied the three eastern provinces, China has lost its most important industrial base in the country, thus losing the hardware that symbolizes industrial manufacturing capabilities and the software of various industrial standards.
The three eastern provinces have the Shenyang arsenal with the highest technological content and the largest scale in China, which can produce 240mm heavy artillery and 150mm heavy artillery. It has the steel industry, explosives industry, sulfuric acid and chemical industry, etc., and has industrial standards from the West. The industrial strength is strong and the level is as high as that of the local military industry and heavy industry.
After acquiring the three eastern provinces, in order to curb the development of China's industry, the empire took the opportunity to launch a blockade plan to block China's outstanding advanced talents and various key technologies, including knowledge.
Blockade methods include but are not limited to prohibiting the inflow of technology, prohibiting the import of advanced knowledge, assassinating Chinese scientists, wooing outstanding Chinese young talents, inducing, threatening, and forcing various technical talents, and sending spies to interfere and win over Chinese upper-level personnel.
Before the implementation of the blockade plan, the empire implemented a cultural import and cultural influence plan to make the Chinese people worship, yearn for, and be friendly to Japan.
The implementation effect of the entire blockade plan is extremely obvious and effective. Due to the lack of technology introduction and advanced knowledge, the development of China's industrial and technological fields has been unable to keep up with the world's mainstream level for a long time, and the level of military manufacturing has rapidly fallen to the bottom.
So far, five years have passed. Except for the Taiyuan Arsenal owned by Yan Xishan, which has the production capacity of 105 mm caliber artillery, other arsenals in China are unable to produce mountain artillery with a caliber above 75 mm. The annual steel output does not exceed five million tons, in line with the indicators of the blockade plan.
The heavy industry is backward and weak, and the precision processing industry is completely dependent on foreign countries, resulting in a low level of military industry.
The level of the military industry is low. How to manufacture advanced weapons and equipment?
The consequence of the lack of weapons and equipment is the low combat effectiveness of the army.
In the empire's future offensive plan, Yan Xishan's Taiyuan Arsenal is one of the key targets of the next round of offensive, completely eliminating China's independent artillery manufacturing capabilities.
You know, the Taiyuan Arsenal currently has more than 3,200 machines and equipment, about 70% of which came from the empire.
As long as the Taiyuan Arsenal is eliminated, China's industrial manufacturing capabilities and military manufacturing levels will fall directly to the bottom. The Chinese army, which lacks artillery, will also be at a disadvantage.
This is a crucial part.
However, at this juncture, Zhang San appeared with his Chinese mechanical drawing.
Tu Feiyuan deeply understands what China's industry lacks, and he also understands what kind of terrifying power these Chinese people will erupt when they have what they lack. These people are by no means sick men of East Asia, nor are they pedantic people who can only write eight-legged essays. Wood, they are the Eastern civilization that once ruled Japan for thousands of years and shocked East Asia for thousands of years. Now it is just sleeping.
If they wake up, if they have power, it will be a nightmare.
Tufei Yuan has had this nightmare too many times.
The significance of this Chinese mechanical drawing not only meant that there were loopholes in the years-long blockade plan, but also reminded Doi Yuan of nightmares again and again.
Liao Yaquan was trembling when she faced Tu Feiyuan's anger. This was the first time in several years that she had seen the intelligence giant so angry and so out of sorts because of something she couldn't understand.
As a tool, Liao Yaquan did not understand the complete content and ultimate purpose of the blockade plan, and she could not understand Dofei Yuan's emotions.
Quiet, silent.
She was not qualified to speak, not even an 'apology' was allowed to be uttered.
"I will give you one last chance. Before July, the task of finding Zhang San must make progress. If it is not completed, then I can only send you to the freshman salon." Doi Yuan glanced coldly at the table. Newspaper, restored the posture and etiquette that an imperial lieutenant general should have, raised his head and looked at Liao Yaquan, and said calmly.
"Yunzi understands." Liao Yaquan's expression changed, with a hint of fear in his eyes, and he quickly answered with a respectful gesture.
The freshman salon is a hell for women. Liao Yaquan is not afraid of death, but she absolutely does not want to enter the freshman salon.
"I hope you won't disappoint me."
…
Zhaobeikou, Liucun.
The sun was scorching in the sky, and the sky and the earth were as hot as a furnace. In the experimental site, workers wearing homespun clothes were working hard despite the hot weather, sweating all over their bodies, and it was extremely hot.
After eighteen days of hard work and hard work, workers who fully demonstrated the speed of China Infrastructure Construction have increased the construction progress of Yu's Seven Pagodas to 95%, which is basically nearing completion.
Seven core containers with a radius of 2.5 meters and a total volume of 98.125 cubic meters have been placed in the experimental site. The front end is two boiling furnaces, and the end is connected to a steel sulfuric acid storage tank with a volume of 50 cubic meters. The remaining work is Pipe welding and supporting equipment installation.
I have to say that the scene before me is a miracle.
Because, this was completed within eighteen days.
Without heavy engineering machinery and equipment, they relied on their hands most of the time. The workers who participated in the Yu's Seven Towers Experimental Project fully demonstrated the speed of China's infrastructure construction in 1937!
There was never a cry of pain or tiredness. Everyone got up at five o'clock in the morning and went to bed around eleven o'clock in the night. The working hours were as long as eighteen hours and lasted for eighteen full days.
In the experimental field, which is essentially a large construction site, Yu Hua, the team leader, is wearing a hat and standing on the scaffolding. He controls the submerged arc welding machine with his right hand. In front of him is a large centrifugal pump hung by a railing lifting device. All that needs to be done is to weld the centrifugal pump belonging to Tower No. 7.
This is the last centrifugal pump.
At this moment, on the ground, a master in his forties who was carrying a seamed steel pipe staggered and fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was not hit by the steel pipe. The surrounding workers immediately ran over. The master was quickly sent to the newly built infirmary in Liucun.
Yu Hua looked at this scene and remained silent. This was already the 12th master who was overworked or comatose due to heat stroke. The newly built infirmary in the village was for this reason.
He once tried to stop it, but these workers and masters did not agree because they were soldiers.
It is precisely because these workers and masters are warriors that the originally planned twenty-day construction period was not extended, but was advanced by two days.
If nothing goes wrong, the experimental Yu's Seven Towers production facility will be completed today.
"Go on." Yu Hua took a deep breath and said to Xiong Shenggang next to him.
"Yes, sir." Xiong Chenggang, who had successfully mastered submerged arc welding technology, nodded and continued to assist Yu Hua in his work.
The large centrifugal pump weighing more than 100 kilograms requires two people to work together to complete the welding work. Xiong Shenggang stabilized the centrifugal pump while Yu Hua was responsible for the welding.
On the other side, members of the Caotai team are distributed in various areas of the experimental site, responsible for inspecting supporting facilities and pipeline construction. Fang Yu is responsible for the core container No. 3 and core container No. 4, Zhou Yuan is responsible for the No. 5 and No. 6, and Lin Wan Sitting on the command podium of the experimental field, serving as the team leader, general manager and command of the experimental field.
Everyone was sweating profusely and working tirelessly like machines.
Outside the venue, the elegant man and Liu Wei stood quietly. As laymen, they did not interfere with or affect the project of Yu's Seven Pagodas. All they had to do was observe and wait.
For eighteen days, the elegant man and Liu Wei witnessed with their own eyes the transformation of Yu's Seven Pagodas, which symbolize China's cutting-edge technology, from scratch to what they are now.
"Twenty-two tons of sulfuric acid per day...it only takes eighteen days, but it feels like we have been waiting for nearly a year." The elegant man whispered to himself.
Time passed by. Yu Hua and Xiong Sheng had just successfully welded the last large centrifugal pump, started inspection, and reported the progress to Lin Wan. Then, members of the welding team and design team staying in each core vessel also sent good news one after another. News, all connecting pipes have been welded.
The manufacturing project of the core body of Yu's Seven Towers Device has been completed!
Next, is a historic moment, trial production!
