Ferdinand's sudden appearance changed the wavering minds of Blom and Foss, and in the evening, the leaders of both companies were very frank in handing over their company's old background and reached a preliminary agreement.

That night, Jim's secretary cleverly arranged accommodation for Blom and Foss in the Bulgarian style, and the two were still praising the atmosphere of the Eric group until the next morning.

Through the liquidation of assets, Ferdinand did exactly what he said, not only injecting capital into the stock market of Blomforss shipyard several times the price of the company, but also fulfilling his promise in full according to the additional conditions put forward by Blom.

The Blomforth shipyard has not only solved important equipment problems, but also received a considerable amount of development funds and the prospect of emerging markets.

Soon, led by Blomforss, Eric secretly helped R&D and manufacturing had been quietly launched.

In a secluded part of Eric's Industrial Park, in a large room on the basement floor of the basement, a dozen people with unkempt hair, disheveled, dirty, and unaware of their image huddled in front of an oversized table, busily checking the list in their hands.

"The modular segmented floor plan has been checked with the data, and the solution can be determined."

"The overall structure and warp and weft reinforcement data are correct, and this work can be carried out with confidence."

"The silo structure is checked with the data map of the watertight door."

"Water supply pipelines, strong and weak current lines and safety alarm systems can be constructed according to the drawings."

"The damage management equipment has been supplied by the supplier and they have completed the relevant materials as required."

"The positioning of the weapon, the measurement of the angle of fire and the linkage of the weapon system with the command post are determined correctly."

"The material cutting solution can be implemented"

In this large studio on the basement floor of the basement, because it has not been cleaned for a long time, and many men huddle together every day, the smell has obviously been unpleasant, and the concentration of laboratory chemicals is too high, which makes the whole space smelly.

Since owning this studio, Eric Adrian has come in a few times, but because the environment is so bad, he didn't stay long and left in a hurry. However, several air circulators have been added to the large studio at the same time.

More than a dozen engineering designers such as Blom, Foss, and Lehard crowded in here day and night, conducting a variety of feasibility experiments and tackling difficult problems. Not counting the drawings, all the engineering data are several meters high, and we patiently checked and passed many checks.

Precise drawing, data calculation, configuration instructions, form filling...... These cumbersome procedures can really boil the boy's blackhead white, but the hard work pays off, everyone's hard work finally pays off, and after all kinds of data are checked, everyone invariably shows a happy smile.

Lehard looked at the clock and said to Blom and the others: "Colleagues have worked hard! It's still early, so let's take a break, I'll give John a call now and tell him that the engineering is all done, and he'll take care of the rest of the PR issues, and we'll just have to wait for the good news. ”

"All right, Mr. Lehard, don't call the phone, maybe John is asleep now. In fact, when he handed us this form, there was no need for PR, as long as we perfected the whole design. Blom was very happy to look at the supplementary explanation of the drawings and annotated data that looked like a hill in front of him, and announced it to everyone with great excitement.

"Oh! God, why are you telling us now? Lehard laughs: "I'm tormented these days, and I'm always worried about whether our work is in vain." ”

"Now you can go and get a good night's sleep, and no one will kick your bed tomorrow morning." Blom was very happy: "Because of everyone's cooperation, the key problem has been solved in our hands, I have carefully compared, this plan can basically win the order without any suspense." ”

Blom was no longer sleepy, and he had been fighting for days without feeling tired.

"Don't be too happy, Mr. Blom, there is indeed no problem in the design process, but the problems in production must also be mentally prepared, because this design brings together the wisdom of the entire German elite, not to mention that ordinary workers may make mistakes, even many experts may also make some mistakes, which is the biggest problem." Here, Lehard is the oldest and the most dispassionate thinker.

"Mr. Lehard is right to remind that for the construction of such ships, the whole of Germany is almost starting from scratch, the possibility of problems is very high, but it is not terrible, we should believe in the strength of the Eric group, because if you can design, you can build, this is the last word. As for the shortage of skilled workers, we can poach people from other shipyards or go to the market for urgent recruitment, after all, many German shipbuilders have closed down in recent years, and those idle workers may be looking for jobs. Blom also knows that there will be more difficulties in the future than it is now, but he seems to have a solution.

"Dear Mr. Lehard, I wonder if there will be a shortage of steel in your company." Blom understands that everything else is relatively easy to deal with, as long as there are enough raw materials.

"It's definitely not enough to make it all, although there is no shortage of steel in the factory, but the ship has been immersed in seawater for a long time, and it must have specific high strength and corrosion resistance, so it will inevitably have certain problems. It would be better to have John step in and look for another HSS alternative to deck or silo deck in Germany. Rather than being unconfident in the quality of his company's steel, Lehard was eager to beat Krupp and hoarded a lot of good steel, because he preferred to crush his opponents and find the thrill of winning.

It was late at night, but everyone didn't feel the slightest bit tired. Lehard knew that this was the lack of drowsiness caused by excitement in the human nerve center, so he stopped talking, and deliberately calmed everyone down in order to find sleepiness. However, even he didn't want to sleep, and the others were even more energetic, until several older experts repeatedly asked everyone to maintain their strength, and then forced everyone to turn off the work lights, forcing everyone to find a place to sleep in a daze.

At noon the next day, everyone woke up from natural sleep, and after recuperating in spirits, Blom, Foss, Lehard, and others, under the instruction of Ferdinand, directly communicated with the commander-in-chief of the navy, Hipper, by telephone, and briefly consulted the military about the procurement plan and design plan.
