Gao Junshan took the "Zheng He No. 1" to Wusongkou in Shanghai first, where he could see the large wharf that Pan Zide was building.

In the private room of Gao Jun Mountain, Captain Deng Shijie came to report: "Captain Shan, 'Zheng He No. 1' has arrived at Wusongkou. ”

Gao Junshan stood up and said, "Please Pan Zide get on the ship, I want to see him." ”

"Yes!"

Gao Junshan added: "Let Pan Zide bring his elites over." ”

Deng Shijie said: "Students will do it immediately!" ”

After Deng Shijie finished speaking, he instructed the boatswain to prepare the speedboat, and Gao Junshan took Li Derong to the deck to see how the sailors lowered the speedboat to the surface.

The sailors first hung the two hoist hoists on two hooks, then hooked the two ends of the speedboat, and used a pulley to push the speedboat off the deck, and when the speedboat left the deck, it was hoisted by the two hoists and hung on the side of the boat.

The sailors began to pull the two hoist cranes, and the speedboat went down little by little, and when it touched the water, the personnel were put down with a ladder to control the speedboat, and the people who went down would disengage the hook, and the speedboat could move freely on the screen.

It only takes ten minutes for a skilled sailor to put the speedboat into the water.

The speedboat that has been lowered to the surface of the water is like a child who has escaped from its mother's arms, driving freely on the screen.

Gao Junshan saw black smoke rising from the chimney on the speedboat, and the speedboat first drew an arc on the sea, then adjusted the direction of the bow of the ship and sailed towards Wusongkou.

"Let's go, our guests are about to arrive, go and set up the living room." Gao Junshan waved his hand and returned to the rest cabin with Li Derong.

The ground floor of the rest cabin is a large restaurant, there is a lounge in the left corner of the restaurant, which is a place for sailors to drink tea and chat when they rest, this lounge can not only drink tea, but also read books, there is a large bookcase here, there are a lot of thread-bound books in it, for sailors to read at leisure.

There are sixty or seventy seats in the lounge, and there is a special person who is responsible for cleaning.

The living room that Gao Junshan mentioned was the lounge, and he used the lounge as a living room to summon his Chongwen students.

The lounge had been emptied, and the sailors who wanted to come to the lounge to read at this time were all sailors on night duty, and they saw that the lounge was not allowed to enter, and they all went on deck one by one.

The portholes inside the lounge are large and have a lot of light.

While Gao Junshan was waiting, he casually flipped through the books in the bookcase.

There are books such as "Three Character Classics", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Texts", "Thousand Family Poems", "Four Books", "Five Classics", "Jianlu", "Di Zi Gui", "Zhu Zi", "Zengguang Xianwen", "Aphorisms Lianbi", "Historical Records", "Zizhi Tongjian", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Wu Zi's Art of War", "Stopping Learning", "Tao Hui Shu" and so on.

Gao Junshan took out a copy of "Three Hundred Tang Poems" and flipped through it casually.

No one else came in, and the whole lounge was very quiet. entered, Gao Junshan was soon immersed in the artistic conception of Tang poetry.

I don't know how long it took, the guard officer Li Derong came in.

"Your Majesty, are you still reading? They're coming. ”

"Oh, really?" Gao Junshan flipped down the book and looked up at Li Derong, "You invite them in." ”

Li Derong said: "Back to Your Majesty, they are still on the water, we can see it now." ”

"It's almost there, look." Gao Junshan stood up and walked towards the porthole.

At this time, glass was not yet widely used, and the windows could not be glass, and the windows and doors were made of wood and covered with iron plates.

The porthole is open, and Gao Junshan can see the sea when he stands by the window, and there is indeed a speedboat heading towards "Zheng He No. 1" on the screen.

This speedboat is the same one that was lowered into the water earlier.

Gao Junshan said to Li Derong: "Let's go out to meet them!" ”

So, Gao Junshan came to the deck, and the speedboat was slowing down at this time, slowly approaching "Zheng He No. 1".

The speedboat came to a slow stop, and the sailors dropped the cable, and after the sailors on the speedboat tied the cable to the loop on the speedboat, the sailors lowered the suspension ladder and let the people on the speedboat up.

As soon as Pan Zide saw Gao Junshan, he led a group of people to salute and said: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Gao Junshan smiled: "No courtesy, no courtesy, get up!" ”

Pan Zide said: "Mountain Chief, the students received your will and brought the engineers over. ”

"Okay, okay. I have a new task for you, let's go to the living room.

The group came to the lounge, Gao Junshan sat in the chief position, and everyone else sat down facing Gao Junshan.

Gao Junshan first asked, "Do you have any difficulties in the process of building the port?" ”

Pan Zide replied: "The construction of the port is progressing smoothly, there are difficulties, and the problems are gradually being solved. At the moment, there is some trouble with underwater blasting. ”

"What's the trouble?"

"At the point of the explosion, we have to think about the lives of the workers working underwater. It's just that the time is reserved for too long, and the fuse is easily extinguished by the immersion of seawater. ”

Gao Junshan said: "This problem is easy to solve, as long as you take a timing device, you can explode when you want." ”

Pan Zide said: "The words of the mountain chief made the students pause, and we will follow this method when we go back." ”

Gao Junshan glanced at the engineers seated, including Pan Zide, there were eleven in total, he took a sip of tea, and said: "When I came back from the carriage in Yunnan, because the wheels of the carriage were replaced with rubber, the speed of travel was much faster, but the wear and tear of the axles was accelerated, do you have any solutions to it?" ”

After Gao Junshan's problem was raised, the engineers opened their minds and put forward a lot of suggestions, but Gao Junshan was not satisfied, and finally, he told the bearing plan.

As he spoke, he drew the shape of the bearing on a wooden board while his students understood.

After explaining the bearings, he said: "I hope you will set up a bearing factory, specializing in the production of various bearings. ”

Pan Zide asked: "The balls of the bearings need butter to lubricate, where does the butter come from?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Although our oil cannot be extensively exploited at present, but now the colleagues of the petroleum group are conducting scientific research, and two oil wells have been drilled on the soil method, and the oil output is not very large, but it is enough to refine the butter for your use, so as long as you set up the bearing factory, there will be a steady stream of butter for you." ”

Pan Zide said: "We have to go back and study it, and do a good job in the design drawings and production process." ”

Gao Junshan said: "This is an urgent matter, you must start to study it after you go back, and if you have any questions, you can ask me by telegram in time." ”

Pan Zide said: "With the guidance of the mountain chief, we will definitely be able to complete this task." ”

Gao Junshan said: "Now that you are so together, I will take this opportunity to teach you a lesson!" ”

Pan Zide immediately took the lead in applauding and said, "The mountain chief is teaching us a lesson in his busy schedule, everyone applauds and welcomes!" ”

So, warm applause rang out.

Gao Junshan waved his hand and said: "I won't talk too much, we will now have some exchanges on the issue of shipbuilding." At present, our ships are still made of wooden structures, which is not the direction in which we build large ships, we must build steel warships and steel transport ships, which is the direction of large ships. ”

One engineer asked, "So, how can steel be used in shipbuilding?" ”
