On June 15, Carnegie arrived in San Diego. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Mu received Carnegie at the Queen's Hotel, located near the presidential palace.

The establishment of the United States of Cuba, for Li Mu, in addition to personal interests, another major advantage is that Li Mu no longer has to put anyone in the barracks, in the city of San Diego, now Li Mu is omnipotent, it is not too simple to entertain his friends at the Queen's Hotel, if Li Mu is willing, Li Mu can even invite the President of the United Republic of Cuba Sylvestre to accompany him when he is hosting Carnegie.

This is in line with Li Mu's identity as the "gold master".

However, Li Mu was not so excessive, if Li Mu invited Sylvester, of course Sylvester would not refuse, but this would make Sylvester feel uncomfortable, after all, Sylvester is not Li Mu's retainer, as the president of a country, even if this country is only a small country compared to the United States, Sylvester also has his own dignity as a president.

Li Mu received Carnegie alone, and even Benjamin was not invited.

The cooperation between Li Mu and Carnegie has nothing to do with Benjamin, and as far as the current Li Mu is concerned, Li Mu does not need to find Benjamin to cheer on the platform.

"Reem, you make me very sad, you should know what steel that doesn't rust means to a steel company, you are the owner of a stainless steel patent, but you didn't inform me of the news in the first place, I didn't even know that you were doing research in this area - I have to say, you are so sad for me, you are ignoring me, you are ignoring the ideals we all have, I haven't closed my eyes for a minute since I learned the news, the reason why I came to San Diego is to tell you personally- You hurt me! Carnegie was furious and repeated this passage several times less than an hour after seeing Li Mu.

Andrew Carnegie is still very majestic, maybe less than 1.6 meters tall, or a guy around 1.6 meters has the potential to become a "superior", Carnegie has begun to gradually show the momentum of the "Iron King", whenever Carnegie raises his eyebrows and widens his eyes and purses the corners of his mouth, everyone will tremble.

Of course, when Carnegie, who raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes and pursed the corners of his mouth, complained to Li Mu in a tone full of grievances, coupled with the pitiful eyes that were glowing with water, this hybrid style also caught Li Mu off guard.

Well, I guess Carnegie couldn't think of it even if he wanted to break his head, when Carnegie angrily said "You hurt me", what came to Li Mu's mind was actually the long list of lyrics: "You hurt me--but laughed it off--the greed you love and the cowardice of my love-"

"It's not like Andrew-" Li Mu shook his head, threw out the almost magic melody out of his mind, and said to Carnegie: "Even if you don't send me a telegram, I would have contacted you, the reason why I invested in stainless steel is for our Carnegie McCandless Steel Company, I have even thought about the relevant uses, we can first launch tableware made of stainless steel, kitchen supplies, and then we can also produce various daily necessities, Stainless steel will definitely penetrate into all aspects of people's lives, and if we want everyone to accept all this, then we must first build momentum for stainless steel, let everyone understand what stainless steel is, and then it is convenient for us to launch various products. ”

Li Mu knew that he was at a loss, so he immediately turned the topic to the application of stainless steel.

"If it's so important, why didn't you notify me in the first place?" Carnegie went crazy and held on to this.

"God, Andrew, let me tell you this, I'm investing in so many research projects right now, to be honest, I don't know which ones have come to fruition, which ones are still being demonstrated, and which ones have just been approved, stainless steel is just one of them, and it's not central, I have many other projects besides stainless steel, like chromium-molybdenum alloy steel, like light bulbs, like telephones, like engines -- and like the reconstruction of San Diego that I'm doing right now, these projects are worth far more than stainless steel -- Li Mu had no choice but to vaguely state a fact: Dear Carnegie, it's not that I don't value you, but your plate is too small, and I have too many projects, and your plate can't fit-

Li Mu does have many projects, and the "Horse Laboratory" is now divided into four research groups, one is researching chromium-molybdenum alloy steel, one is a communications research group led by Antonio Meucci, another is the engine project led by Franklin himself, and the last is a smokeless gunpowder application research group jointly established with Junma Arms Company.

The main current project of the last research group on the application of smokeless gunpowder is the stationary retreat and re-entry device of mortars and artillery.

The stationing and retreating device of the artillery is actually the reentry system of the tube retreating artillery, and all the artillery at this time are all remounted, because the artillery mount will be displaced after each shot, so every time you fire in use, you have to recalculate the firing elements, which will undoubtedly greatly drag down the firing speed of the artillery.

If the research of the stationary retreat and re-entry device is successful, then the artillery will evolve from the frame retreat type to the tube retreat type, compared with the frame retreat artillery, the tube retreat artillery will not only have high accuracy, but also the firing rate will be increased by more than three times, which will greatly improve the role of artillery in the war.

Moreover, the stationing and retreating re-entry device set up by Li Mu is precisely the spring type applied by the British a few years later, rather than the air column type adopted by the French "Miss 75" at the end of the 19th century, this spring-type re-entry structure will be eliminated in a few years, Li Mu can first sell the artillery with the spring-type re-entry device for 20 years, and then sell the artillery with the air column re-entry device for 20 years.

Mmmm, that's the way of doing business.

"Wait, Chromium-Molybdenum Alloy Steel - what is it?" Carnegie keenly grasped the parts that had to do with him.

"Uh-" Li Mu was very annoyed, before the successful research of chromium-molybdenum alloy steel, Li Mu gave a gag order to the "Junma Laboratory", and all the researchers were not allowed to mention the name when they left the door of the research room.

This can also be understood, chromium-molybdenum alloy steel, as the name suggests, is an alloy steel with "chromium" and "molybdenum" components added in the process of smelting steel, even if you only look at the name, you can understand the main components of chromium-molybdenum alloy steel.

Of course, the birth of a special steel is not so simple, knowing the composition is one thing, knowing the smelting process - that is, the process flow is another thing, relatively speaking, the process flow is the core of special steel.

Even so, Li Mu has to keep it strictly secret, Li Mu even prepared the name "titanium-platinum-tungsten-nickel alloy steel", ready to be used to confuse the public, if someone wants to imitate Li Mu's patent, then let him slowly explore it.

"Tell me, what the hell is this?" Carnegie was impatient, scratching his ears and cheeks like ants on a hot pan.

"Remember, forget the term you just said, there is no 'lithium-silver alloy steel', only 'titanium-platinum-tungsten-nickel alloy steel'-" Li Mu immediately "invented" a new steel - no, there are two kinds.

It is estimated that if Carnegie had come back to his senses, Carnegie would definitely vomit three liters of blood: it's really not a thing, even his own people are pitted!

"Lithium-silver alloy steel -- it doesn't seem like that's the name." Carnegie is not a chemical expert, he is not even a smelting expert, the reason why Carnegie later became a "steel tycoon" is because of all kinds of forcible seizures, as well as the large-scale production of the steel company itself, Carnegie's strength lies in management, so for all kinds of strange chemical elements, Carnegie is not familiar with it, listening to Li Mu's resoluteness, Carnegie is also a little confused.

"It's lithium-silver alloy steel, which is suitable for making all kinds of gun barrels and barrels, and I call this kind of steel ' Weapons steel', there is no doubt that lithium-silver alloy steel is the best weapon steel, this steel has extraordinary wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and the strength is dozens of times that of current weapons steel, you know that I invested in the invention of smokeless gunpowder, and in the foreseeable future, smokeless gunpowder will definitely replace black gunpowder as the firing and firing charge of various bullets and shells, and if smokeless gunpowder is used as the firing and firing charge, then now all the barrels and barrels are not suitable, which has been verified in the last battle of El Cristo, so the lithium-silver alloy steel has extraordinary prospects, relative to stainless steelLithium-silver alloy steel is the core product with real core competitiveness. Li Mu didn't give Carnegie a chance to recall, and Carnegie's mouth was dry.

"Core competencies - what is this?" Carnegie felt powerless to Li Mu's endless new terms, but of course, this did not affect Carnegie's determination to obtain chromium-molybdenum alloy steel: "This steel must belong to Carnegie McCandles, and it must belong to Carnegie McCandless Steel!" ”

Carnegie's eyes were wide open, his expression was hideous, and he had entered a semi-crazy state.

Although Li Mu's description is not perfect, Carnegie already understands the prospect of this "lithium-silver alloy steel" - damn it, it's definitely not the name, but who cares! As long as Li Mu licenses the patent for this steel to Carnegie McCandless Steel, and preferably exclusively.

No, it can only be exclusive!

If the exclusive license can be obtained, then Carnegie McCandless Steel will not have to wait 30 years to become the largest steel company in the United States, but only 20 years, or even 10 years, for Carnegie McCandlessteel to become a giant in the American steel industry.

- The undisputed giant!

"Of course, whether it's stainless steel, or lithium-silver alloy steel, it's for Carnegie McCandless Steel - wait, it's still called that, do you think it's appropriate?" Li Mu's big knife is already hungry and thirsty, and in Li Mu's opinion, the current Carnegie is a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered on the board.

"It's really not appropriate, so what do you think of the name Carnegie-Riem Steel? Or could Rim-Carnegie Steel -- "Carnegie was eager to get the exclusive license to the two patents, and Carnegie was willing to cede control of the company."

Of course, even if Carnegie gave up the leadership of the company to Li Mu, Li Mu would not want it, Li Mu had more important things to do, and it was impossible to spend all his time on the steel company.

So Li Mu is very generous: "I think it's better to be Carnegie-Rim Steel." ”

Well, that's Carnegie-Riem Steel.
