Although the education level of returnees in China in this era is indeed at the elite level, neither the cognitive level nor the knowledge mastered can meet the requirements of the East China government, which is the system and operation mode of the East China government and the Qing court and Japan are very different. In addition, due to the high level of education of returnees, they are also somewhat tainted with the shortcomings of some Chinese traditional knowledge elements, such as being low-eyed, self-righteous, withdrawn and high-minded, talking empty and less pragmatic, and looking down on the people at the bottom of society.

Of course, these problems are not conducive to their work in the East China government, so the training is not only to let them understand the system, process, working methods and attitudes of the East China government, and learn the governing ideology of the East China government, but also to assess each person and determine their suitable positions;

The first is to divide the returnees into classes, among which there are 35 women, who form a separate class, and the remaining 240 people are divided into five classes equally, and the class leader, deputy class leader and group leader are elected to establish a class order.

At present, the East China Government has formed three basic leading ideas, that is, land reform, industrialization, and the dominance of the state-owned economy; every morning and afternoon, it will also arrange 1-2 hours of physical training and military quality training, and will also arrange one day of military skill training or competition every week, which can not only temper the physical fitness of the returnees, but also increase their team spirit and collective consciousness; in addition, some social practice and visit activities will be arranged. Let the returnees see the construction achievements made by the East China government.

Three days later, the East China government organized a visit to the Gaoliu Automobile Company. This is also the first time that Gaoliu Automobile Company has been displayed to the public since its establishment.

Although these returnees have basically studied in Japan for more than a year, and some have even stayed in Japan for 4 or 5 years, there are indeed very few who have visited Japanese factories, and the main reason is that although there are many Chinese students in Japan, they are basically spontaneous, there is no unified organizational plan, and there is no clear learning goal. Likes and dislikes determine the content of study, so the vast majority of international students do not regard studying industry as their goal, and naturally they do not think of visiting factories, and Japan does not have such an organizational arrangement.

Of course, there are also some returnees who have been to some factories for some other reasons, such as looking for people and jobs, but because they do not have a clear understanding of industrialization, those who are interested are just looking at the flowers, and those who are not interested are even more ignorant, so basically all of them are visiting the factory for the first time in an organized and systematic way. During these three days, the returnees systematically learned the historical development of the industrial revolution, and then visited the factory, which was naturally different.

The production workshop of Gaoliu Automobile Company has more than 3,000 square meters, and there are hundreds of workers, who can assemble 6 different vehicles at the same time. Workers wearing various costumes shuttle back and forth in front of each work group platform, performing their own responsibilities and being orderly. But everyone seems to feel some kind of shock in their hearts, and this is how they have an intuitive sense of industrialization.

Gao Liu Automobile Company also introduced to the returnees that the machinery and equipment currently used are purchased from Germany, and the spare parts of the car are only purchased from Germany, and the other parts are all produced within the East China Government, and the structural design of the car is completely completed by the East China Government independently, and even Germany buys it.

In fact, the structure of automobiles in this era was very simple, except for the engine, there was basically no technical difficulty in other parts, so although the industrialization of the East China government had just begun, other parts except the engine could be manufactured by themselves. In terms of the structural design of the car, the East China government is naturally far beyond this era, such as the engine front, rear-wheel drive, long-distance drive shaft, suspension system, rearview mirror, etc., in the old time and space are the most conventional layout of the steam, but in this era, it is a very excellent design, but also let the German engineers who came to Qingdao admire, and the German Mercedes-Benz company, which provides technology and equipment for Gao Liu Automobile Company, After learning about it, Daim Company sent people to Qingdao to carefully inspect the design of Gao Liu Automobile, and thought that such a design was indeed very convenient and reasonable, so it finally decided to buy the design of Gao Liu Automobile Company.

After visiting the production workshop, the returnees came to the outdoor test site, at this time there are two assembled cars are being tested, and in the other side of the training field, there are more than 10 people are learning driving skills, and the project of learning to drive is from the old time and space when it was moved, what uphill start, side parking, right-angle turning, S bend, reverse storage, etc., so that the returnees can watch with relish.

Unconsciously, the morning time passed like this, and the visit of the returnees has not ended, in fact, the afternoon visit is the focus of today, it turned out that the fixed-wing aircraft research and development project carried out by Gao Liu Automobile Company and the military has entered the stage of formal test flight, the time is this afternoon, so the returnees were specially organized to watch, and the visit to the automobile production is only incidental.

After the establishment of Gaoliu Automobile Company, it immediately cooperated with the military to set up a fixed-wing aircraft research and development project team, consisting of all helicopter pilots, as well as a few aircraft enthusiasts, and brought more than 20 local students, a total of 63 people. Funds are transferred by the military.

In fact, the principle of fixed-wing aircraft is not complicated, because it is a propeller aircraft, although the basic principle is to use the propeller of the head or tail of the aircraft to provide traction or thrust, the wing to provide lift, the flaps and tail of the main wing to control the rise and fall of the aircraft, and the vertical tail to control the direction of the aircraft. And the most important part is the engine, in the old time and space of aircraft enthusiasts spread the saying "as long as the engine is powerful, the door panel can also fly into the sky".

Of course, the engine of the propeller aircraft is relatively simple, the general gasoline engine or diesel engine will do, and the first successful flight aircraft made by the Wright brothers, the Flyer One, is a 12-horsepower four-cylinder water-cooled gasoline engine.

However, the project team did not plan to directly use the engines of this era, mainly because the current engines were too low in power and not practical, so they decided to replace them with automobile engines first, on the one hand, to accumulate experience in building airplanes and collect flight data, and on the other hand, to train pilots, and then use the engines of this era when the engine technology of this era matured. And there is no need to wait too old, in the old time and space, in the Italian-Turkish War in 1911, the aircraft was on the battlefield for the first time, indicating that the engine technology at that time has made great progress, and it is only 6 years away from now.

The East China government also attaches great importance to the research and development of fixed-wing aircraft, and the Ministry of Public Assets Management has also allocated four vehicles to the project team for the transformation of aircraft. In addition to the engine, there are many other components that can come in handy.

Although these four cars are all small cars, the power of the engine is above 100 horsepower, even if the car engine is converted into an aircraft engine, there will be a certain loss of power, but the power is sufficient, and it is far beyond this era.

Due to the lack of power, the Wright brothers built the Flyer 1 with a wooden cloth structure, the main structure with wooden poles and a small number of plywood, no enclosed cabin, and the wings were wrapped with linen on a wooden frame. And until the First World War, the aircraft were basically wooden structures, and of course the main keel was made of steel. And all-metal aircraft will not appear until the 30s, and in the Second World War there were also some wooden-hulled aircraft.

A 100-horsepower engine can't support an all-metal aircraft, of course, but it can also meet the power requirements of a wood-hull aircraft, to the point that it doesn't have to use cloth wings like the Wright brothers.

Of course, aircraft wood is also particular, not all wood can be used, not only the weight should be light, but also have a considerable hardness, but also to have a uniform texture, easy to process. Generally, the body and wing materials can be spruce wood, because the spruce tree is tall and straight, the knots are few, the material is slightly soft, the texture is straight and uniform, the structure is meticulous, easy to process, and has good resonance performance;

In fact, there are many kinds of wood suitable for making airplanes, not only spruce and beech, but even a large number of wood has the performance of more than spruce and beech, but it is too rare. Only spruce and beech are produced in large quantities and have a wide range of applications, both of which are produced in China, and both are produced in large quantities, although they are not produced in Shandong, but they are readily available.

In this way, the main components and materials of the aircraft have been implemented, and the next step is to start designing, which is not difficult, after all, there are so many classic models for reference, and finally the design team decided to use the Albatross series of fighters, the main model of Germany during the First World War, as the prototype, the famous red baron von Richthofen once flew this type of fighter.

After more than three months of design, the final finalized design product is: the whole aircraft is 7.2 meters long, using a spindle-like streamlined wooden fuselage, which is also the biggest feature of the Albatross series fighters, and the streamlined fuselage can reduce flight resistance, improve the strength of the fuselage, good survivability after being shot, and it is not difficult to manufacture; the wing is the upper and lower wings, the upper wingspan is 8.6 meters, the lower wingspan is 7.4 meters, although the biplane structure will reduce the flexibility of flight, but it can increase the lift, after all, the power is there; the aircraft is 2.7 meters high, and the empty weight is 624 kilograms.
