"You have found us a big problem," Zhang Yuan said with some depression "touching" and "touching" the back of his head, "You see, the thermal effect of the old steam engine is not good, and it is easy to break down if the continuous operation time is too long, the train has been stopped for maintenance many times in the past month or so, and the navy has actually taken away the same type of steam engine." шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast. It's actually a good thing for you, otherwise it would be troublesome to wait until something goes wrong at sea, right? ”

"You mean the basin on the head of the Navy is not a basin?" Gu Qingqian said a little unhappily, "According to what you say, if the navy doesn't take away the steam engine, then this steam engine with great hidden dangers will fall on our free wheel?" ”

Zhang Yuan's face suddenly became a little unsightly, "It's not like that, it's just ...... It's just that ......" stammered several times before he could hold back his words, "It's not that we haven't been idle, you see that our manpower and resources have always been on the steam engine development project...... Even the development of diesel engines lagged behind. ”

Gu Qingqian smiled helplessly, "Okay, okay, you guys are too full of sparrows, right?" You see, the steam engine and the diesel engine were developed at the same time, which forced the already limited resources to be divided into several parts, and at the same time to develop the Stalin engine...... "It was the Stirling engine. Zhang Yuan hurriedly corrected.

Gu Qingqian shook her head, "For me, it's Stirling or Stalin, as long as it can be used, the problem is that these things of yours are too inefficient, and the Stirling engine is not even enough to drive the truck, what we need now is a mature prime mover to provide commercial use." But you're the same as you are developing weapons, one new weapon at a time, and then a little bit better one before we can start accepting it. In fact, why can't we make one thing first? Take the steam engine as an example, it has been successfully operated for hundreds of years before the large-scale promotion of gasoline and diesel engines, and we have stood on the shoulders of our predecessors, so why not focus on the main development goal of the steam engine first? ”

"But the steam engine needs a lot of things, metallurgy, casting, lubricants, hardware and even chemical industry are all in great demand." Zhang Yuan also spread his hands helplessly and said, "I am poor and white now, starting from scratch, and it is already very rebellious to be able to create so many things." ”

"Yes, you have done a very good job, but it is far from enough," Gu Qingqian did not care about Zhang Yuan's feelings, "Now there is no suitable prime motive, our Dongfeng is already lying on its stomach because there is no fuel, and Hong Kong is now also stopped because there is no Dongfeng to transport enough building materials, even if we transport the building materials now, there is no way to load and unload materials on the existing wharf in Hong Kong, because there is no crane on the Dongfeng." ”

Sun does not enmity and ghosts, and the ghost learns to pick up Gu Mo and hate cool

"The crane is not a problem, the crane on the Dongfeng uses electricity, we can transport a steam generator over, and when we get there, we can connect the line and turn on the power for the crane." Zhang Yuan hurriedly said, "In addition, we can also install a large steam crane on the wharf that is being built, so that when the free ship passes, it can quickly load and unload materials." ”

"Yes, so developing the steam engine as soon as possible is the most important thing at hand," Gu Qingqian said and leaned into Zhang Yuan's ear and whispered, "I'll 'confess' to you tonight, our navy's fleet was attacked by the Medeno people in the open sea today, and many people were killed and wounded, and the reason why we had to hold a plenary meeting in the evening was to discuss the question of whether to start a war against the Medenor." This is Gu Qingqian's voice raised a little more, "So the steam engine is an extremely important thing now, especially the navy is in urgent need of usable mobile warships, today I saw that the navy's shipbuilding personnel over there in the dry dock are working overtime, eating are at their posts, and they must want to launch a new ship as soon as possible." ”

The land is not Fang Sun hates by the cold I don't have a month

"There's nothing we can do to increase our speed!" Zhang Yuan shook his head, "The meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be walked step by step, at that time, the Senate gave me such a big stall of the Industrial Committee, but it did not let me leapfrog and 'randomly' put satellites, a piece of equipment, especially the prime mover that is about to be put into large-scale use, can never be put into use 'chaotically' without tedious testing." Didn't the trucks used by the northbound detachment last time have a problem? Either the propeller shaft was broken, or the engine was overloaded and burned, forcing the pursuers to stay where they were defending instead of quickly throwing off their pursuers. ”

"That's what you said," Gu Qingqian nodded, "Okay, I'll try not to rush you in this matter, but don't leave it behind if you don't rush you, help us 'get' a usable steam engine as soon as possible, of course, it would be better if there was an internal combustion engine." ”

The ship is far from being alone after learning to show the ball by the moon finger

"And said that you don't urge," Xiao Jing laughed on the side, "Doesn't this bring up the internal combustion engine again, if we go to build the internal combustion engine, this steam engine will have no resources and manpower to develop." ”

============================= divider =============================

"What? You launched an attack on the fleet of the Chinese? "Miro was about to go crazy, and he now had in his hand a copy of the bulletin, on which were written crookedly, and although at first glance it seemed a little incomprehensible, but a naval officer next to him told him in great detail the results of the previous naval battle.

"Three capital ships seriously injured, two lightly damaged? More than 1,700 dead and wounded? "Miro listened to the other party's report, and he was really a little confused. After the officer's explanation, he learned that a rebel force of the Foreign Legion from Fort Shabak had fled to the port of Wenshan to seek refuge in the Medeno people. As a condition of seeking refuge, the rebels offered two Senate spears from China.

Since Miro was now sending guns to Yaning, he was unable to participate in the staff discussion of the Eastern Fleet of Medeno, and was not aware of the dispute at the staff discussion. In fact, there are several different voices in the Eastern Fleet of Medeno, one of which is naturally to encourage the entire Medeno population to declare war on China, seize the scientific technology and production capacity of the Chinese, and at the same time capture as many Chinese as possible for the purpose of technological development, so as to be able to take the magical "technology" that the Chinese keep secret for themselves. You must know that the emergence of the Chinese has made the Maidno people feel an unprecedented sense of urgency, even when Zheng He went to the West, it was far less than this time. This group of people has a great force in the general staff, because from the intelligence they know, this group of Chinese is actually no different from the people of the Wu Dynasty, and even the language of speech is not far behind. There were many 'dealings' between the Maidno and the Wu Dynasty people, and many of them claimed to be Wu Dynasty experts, and they were quite familiar with the habit of bullying and concealing the Wu Dynasty officialdom for many years. In their opinion, although these Chinese have changed their country names to completely different countries, they should still be ordinary laymen in handling foreign affairs.

Moreover, because the Chinese did not declare war on the Medeno after the Eastern Fleet attacked the Eastern Port, but instead imported and exported a large number of goods through the trade routes of the Medeno merchants, bringing a lot of benefits to the Medeno people, which convinced those Wu Dynasty masters that the mercantilism of these Chinese was the same thing as the "interest first" often suppressed by the Wu Dynasty government. After discussing for a long time, they finally decided to teach the Chinese another lesson, and suddenly attacked the lone naval ship of the Chinese in an undeclared way - not to mention that this was originally a Medeno ship, and being captured by the Chinese at this moment has always been regarded as a shame for the Medeno.

From the intelligence they obtained from various sources, they determined that the Chinese did have "elite" weapons such as "flower" shells and rapid-fire weapons, but the number was not superior, so the staff made a plan to surround the Chinese ships at night and then take advantage of the morning fog to launch a surprise attack. In this way, it can effectively eliminate the distance advantage of China's ship-borne 'flower' shells, and once the two sides are close, the artillery will not be of much use; for the legendary rapid-fire weapons that can fire hundreds of shots in a row, they also have a corresponding plan, that is, to quickly rush to the side of the Chinese's ships through the morning fog, so that a large number of sailors rush onto the other side's deck 'hand-to-hand' combat, so that the number of people on both sides is entangled, and in order to avoid accidental injury, the rapid 'fire' weapons cannot exert their power.

It's a pity that the dream is full, but the reality is skinny, and the surprise attack of the Eastern Fleet encountered many unforeseen circumstances, which ultimately led to the failure of the normal sneak attack. The serious damage to a number of capital ships has greatly damaged the vitality of the Eastern Fleet at this moment, and it is no longer capable of going to the Eastern Port to block the port as planned to "force" the Chinese to sit down at the negotiating table.

The gang of Wu Dynasty Tongtong originally planned to beat the Chinese violently, and then give some sweet dates at the negotiating table, forcing the Chinese to 'hand over' a large number of scientific and technological achievements and technical materials, so that the Maidno people can continue to dominate the world and achieve their empire on the sea. However, because these hardliners were hit by the Chinese, the wind of advocating the defeat of the Chinese and seizing interests suddenly disappeared, and then the main peace faction immediately took the initiative.

The Lord and the faction are not a few in the Eastern Fleet, among which Miro is the mainstay, although he has always been designing the 'yin' Chinese, but there is always a voice in his heart telling him that the Chinese are not the enemies of the Medeno people, and if the two sides continue to develop with mutual assistance and mutual benefit as they are now, it will be beneficial to both sides. But with the main battle faction dominant, he could only set up plans to secretly harm the Chinese in accordance with the requirements of the General Staff.

Miro took the bulletin at this moment and looked at the text on it carefully, because it was too sloppy, he had to read it carefully several times before he could understand it. It turned out that the General Staff asked him to return to Wenshan Port immediately and prepare to 'deal' with the Chinese about this "misunderstanding" and minimize the bad impact of this battle as much as possible.

"Fuck!" Miro couldn't help but burst into foul language, "At that time, when I made a plan, I forgot about my existence, and I sent troops to fight without saying a word." If I didn't win this time, he shoved the shit basin into my hand and asked me to wipe my ass. ”

"No way," the officer standing next to him echoed helplessly, "Aren't you not in the waters of Wenshan Port now, they can't find you for a while, so they have to make a decision first." ”

"Hmmm! Am I to blame? Miro couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "At that time, I repeatedly stated that it was completely unnecessary to come here, and whether I could copy those Chinese weapons was not up to me at all, and I would be sent here instead." By the way, there is also that ** division, I opposed this practice from the beginning, if you really want to deal with the Chinese, you can only choose to start secretly, you can't send killers or anything in the open, it is impossible to solve the problem, the ability and speed of the Chinese to deal with things are beyond our reach, as a result, those fools also sent a ** division to burn the executive committee building. As you can see, the building did not burn, but the Chinese learned the technique of listening and transmitting! ”

"The Chinese will listen to the communication technique?" The officer couldn't help but be stunned, "Who said that?" ”

Miro shoved the bulletin in his hand into his hand, "Isn't that what you sent?" ”

The officer hurriedly took the report and looked up and down more than once, but he didn't see anything, and couldn't help but look at Myro with a suspicious and confused look, and Myro sighed, "You guys, you can't see if you don't write things down," he said, taking the bulletin and pointing it up, "Here, use stratagem to lead the Chinese fleet to the ambush circle." ”

"Doesn't that mean that the Chinese can listen to the communication technique?" Before the officer's words fell, he was sneered by Myro, "Don't you know how to think?" The Chinese fleet is not stupid, there must be a reason to be lured to go, we can't blatantly tell the Chinese that we have set up an ambush here, of course, we have to find a way to make the Chinese feel that we have discovered our secret before we go! You see, the Chinese have just lost their best guns and are led to an ambush circle, which can only show that the people in the staff are using the telecommunication technique to send the gun to the Central Continent. When the Chinese get this news, they will drive the boat to intercept it, and you see, this notification is not sent by explicit communication, but through encrypted communication, so the Chinese must have mastered the use of communication. Speaking of this, Miro sighed again, "Now that you have finished beating everyone and running over to ask for peace and show weakness, what are these people thinking in their heads?" ”

"Captain Miro," said the officer, now that nothing else, "since the General Staff has asked you to return to Wenshan Harbor now, are we ready to set sail now?" ”

"What else?" Miro looked at the huge bulging water tank on his ship, shook his head and sighed, "This journey must be full of dangers, if the Chinese are to repay it, they may even sink us directly without waiting for us to identify ourselves." ”

The knot is far from being the only enemy of Xue Moyue and Yusun

"Huh?" The officer couldn't help but be stunned, "Then should we stay in Jakarta first and wait until the matter is over before going to Wenshan Port?" ”

Miro smiled and said, "It's okay, the Chinese should still know our boat," he said, pointing to the water tank and said, "This thing was still installed by their patriarch, presumably it still needs to give some face, right?" ”
