The Perfect returned from Hong Kong, another extremely serious matter is also in front of everyone, the current fuel oil is not at all to support the third Ming trade trip, if you want to continue to the Ming trade or immigration, you must transform the Perfect or develop a newly discovered oil field.

The development rights of the new oilfield have been contracted to Shi Nan, and Shi Nan has recently stepped up preparations for all the development materials, but the specific development details are still being closely negotiated with several personnel in Chang'an Town.

The fuel consumption of the perfect number has always been a big problem, and the executive committee hopes that at this time the door of time and space can throw some fuel tankers, at least to solve the current situation, but unfortunately, the current situation is that the time for the door to open is getting less and less, basically it has reached about ten days to open once, and most of the items thrown each time are different, there are usable equipment, and there are white garbage that are all pollutants.

Whether the transformation has become the focus of discussion, the fuel situation is estimated to only run once in Batavia, if you want to come back I am afraid it is a little difficult, if this is really the case, then the perfect must not be out of the dock, if it breaks down at sea because of fuel problems, it is really completely wasted.

At least there is one hope for transformation left in the dock, and the main direction of the current transformation is to erect five masts on the ship, hang sails, and use the most widely used sail technology in this time and space to sail, and the other is to replace the internal combustion engine inside and replace it with a 120-horsepower steam engine, but there is absolutely no comparison in terms of performance, and there is also a plan to combine the sail steam engine with the sea blue.

Although this difficulty is a bit large, it is the best method at present, because the steam engine with the use of sails can at least reach the speed of shipping before the modification, and of course, there is also a very important point, the steam engine needs to be powered by coal.

Coal can be found is useless, the key is to have enough coaling points, take the perfect number to run Hong Kong, at least a few coaling stations are needed on the way, and no coaling stations are equal to zero.

Therefore, at present, the cost of transforming into a steam engine for power operation is not small at all, and the amount of money required to build several coal stations is quite large, in addition to garrisoning troops to defend against pirates, it is also necessary to develop or purchase coal locally, which is a large expense.

With the current finances, it seems a bit tight to build several overseas bases at the same time, while taking into account the development of the country, and one of the most important problems is the limitation of population, which is not currently supported by the garrison and population of overseas bases.

It takes a period of time for new immigrants to integrate before they can fully become a part of Australia, otherwise in a town founded entirely by new immigrants, it is very likely that the culture brought by the crossing will be completely melted by this time and space.

The culture of this period was mixed, but the Travelers did not want Australia to become a country of feudal conservative ideas in the future.

Therefore, the reform negotiations on the perfect number have reached a stalemate, and any kind of plan actually requires a lot of financial support.

It takes six months to develop the oilfield even if it is the fastest to produce heavy oil, because the development of the oilfield is a specialized technical job, and many things need to be explored.

Six months is a conservative estimate, which means that the Perfect will not be able to make any voyages, but will only dock at the harbor.

"If it's docked for six months, it's still okay to do general maintenance work."

I think the renovation of the Perfect is still very necessary, if the mast can at least ensure that we have a layer of double insurance to a certain extent, at least we can rely on the sail power to sail without fuel, and if the aviation fuel is enough, it can also ensure the sailing, and it can also save some aviation fuel.

In the view of Lin Wendong, a shipbuilding expert, even if you have fuel, it is not insured, at least it cannot guarantee whether the performance is qualified, if it is not qualified, it needs to be transformed, and the transformation period at that time will be extended.

Lin Wendong's idea was supported by Shi Nan, although he was optimistic about oil field exploitation, but he could not guarantee that what he mined would be useful in terms of performance.

"I think the renovation still needs to be carried out, these six months are docked at the dock, even if it is too wasteful to do some simple maintenance, and the addition of a mast at least until the fuel is out, the Perfect can sail through the sails."

After listening to everyone's opinions, Wang Tiehammer, as the commander of the navy, agreed to the proposal to install a mast, but in fact, the focus is not on this, but on whether the Perfect can be repeated, which he attaches great importance to.

This ship, which carries the dream of too many people as a naval power, should not be regarded as just a ship that brings everyone to this world, or another hope.

Add five masts, hang the sails, and sail with a tailwind, and you can sail by mastering the changes in the sails.

Since the transformation has been decided, then it has to be added to the insurance, once the extracted oil, can not meet the fuel standard, then the steam engine can only be transformed, so the national shipyard also needs to get a set of spare steam engine, this thing is still being tested.

It will take a little time to test it, and it may be a little tight on time, but this is not a problem, and the 120 hp steam engine can be used as a locomotive in the future, in addition to being used on ships.

In short, the development of the 120 hp steam engine was a celebration for the whole of Australia, and the more horsepower the machine, the more power it provided.

At present, the preliminary decision of the State Construction Shipyard will put the 120-horsepower steam engine on a warship of about 1,000 tons, and as for the civilian horsepower, the executive committee has given a limit, which is to ensure the superiority of the warship, and it is also a kind of technical monopoly.

Of course, the 120-horsepower steam engine is not the ultimate goal, according to Lin Wendong's ideas, larger and more powerful steam engines must be developed in the future, such as the 180-horsepower steam engine in the plan, which is the focus of their next step.

At the same time, in order to restore its momentum as soon as possible, the Executive Committee asked departments and personnel at all levels to unconditionally support the heather oilfield exploitation project, although this project belongs to private capital, but the SASAC occupies a large part of the shares in it, and theoretically it also has a state-owned background.
