Chapter 193 Plenary Session 7

Compared to all the weapons on this plane, the hexagonal cannon can be regarded as a weapon with a lot of brains. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Appearing in the 19th century, the info hexagonal cannon is a hexagonal type of cannon with an inner diameter, which was originally designed to resemble the rifling of the later period, allowing the shell to rotate according to the curvature of the hexagonal inner diameter as it travels through the barrel to keep the trajectory straight. At the same time, hexagonal rifles appeared, and Major General Sedgwick, the commander of the Northern Sixth Army, who was famous for pointing at the Southern Army and jokingly saying, "Don't worry, those Southerners can't even hit an elephant at this distance", was killed by an unknown Southern Army sniper with a hexagonal inner diameter Whitworth rifle at a distance of 100 meters within a few minutes after saying this.

Compared with rifling, the hexagonal inner diameter is a little simpler, and the requirements for the barrel are lower. Because all kinds of artillery advocated by the patriarchs need seamless steel pipes to be manufactured, and because the manufacturing of seamless steel pipes at this stage is completely blank, the steel used to make cannons can only be forged into a solid cylinder by a forging press, and then the cylinder is bored with a boring machine. However, the requirements for industrial equipment are quite strict, even in the old time and space, they would rather use seamless steel pipes directly, rather than use boring methods to manufacture gun barrels, because it is difficult to ensure that the gun barrels can obtain a smooth and perfect circle inner diameter, and the scrap rate is too high in comparison, and the waste is great.

However, it is much easier to use a hexagonal gun, because the inside of the barrel of the hexagonal gun has a certain arc, and the gun body can be cast by casting method, and the mold of the inner diameter can be reused.

"As for the casting method, we can use the water-cooled casting method to cool the outer wall of the gun barrel, due to the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the cooled outer pipe will have a compressive effect on the inner wall, which can play a good role in enhancing the strength of the gun." Lin Shenhe continued to talk eloquently, not noticing that some of the female elders sitting below had begun to yawn, for most women, in their words, "guns, cannons, and whatevers are the most annoying." ā€

"And as an inner diameter mold, it can be realized directly using an iron mold, we have discussed these aspects, and it is theoretically achievable, so our military industry department needs to get permission from the Senate to set up a cannon casting workshop near the Eastern Iron and Steel Plant, where the work of casting the cannon body will be carried out directly."

Seeing that Xie Mingfang below was also yawning, Yang Minghuan suddenly remembered the ten-minute rule, and interrupted Lin Shenhe, who was still spraying weapons outward, "Minister Lin!" Ten minutes is up, take a break. Matters concerning weapons shooting can first be submitted to the weapon design group for discussion, and then a report will be submitted to the executive committee for examination and approval. ā€

The female elders immediately stood up and began to applaud, and Jiang Yan waved frequently to the supporters below in the applause, and walked onto the podium with a smile.

"Thank you for your support, since we landed, we have not relaxed on education, on behalf of the education department, I would like to thank the Senate, the Executive Committee, and especially the printing department for their support and help, right......" She saw that the faces of several veterans in charge of the paper mill were a little unhappy, and quickly said, "I also want to thank the veteran comrades of the paper mill for their hard work, so that we have enough teaching materials to carry out education work." ā€

"In the early days of our education, there were no classrooms and no school-age children, and at that time we mainly taught the basics to the indigenous people who had been captured and taken over to us. Of course, it is mainly the 200 to 500 commonly used Chinese characters taught and the ordinary addition, subtraction and multiplication formulas, and from the feedback from our various departments at this stage, our adult education is relatively successful. But the education of school-age children is a relatively big problem, and at the beginning the age of school-age children is very uneven, ranging from six to fifteen years old, and according to the resolution of the Senate, all over sixteen years old are counted as adults. I received a report from the Civil Affairs Committee that there were 305 children between the ages of 6 and 10, but only 215 children between the ages of 11 and 15, because in this time and space the children were involved in labor after the age of twelve, had a long period of inadequate nutrition, or died early because of some accident. But now that we're here, we can't let our children be used as laborers before they reach the age of majority. ā€

A voice rang out, "The children of this plane are none of our business, and they are not our own, what do you care about so much?" Those who are willing to receive education will be sent to them, and those who are not willing to accept it will be better for them to go on their own. "You don't have to look at it to know it's Rudge." Now the education department also provides breakfast, lunch and dinner for children who go to school, which is too extravagant, right? ā€

The voices below are starting to get a little noisy, and it's clear that there is a market for Lucci's opinion. Shui Wangtai stood up and spoke his mind. "We have compulsory education, free books, and even school uniforms for children. You see, the production cost of a student uniform is one yuan and two dimes, and the cost of books is two dimes, and this alone makes a student really make a four, so Jiang Yan, the five hundred and twenty students you proposed before will spend seven hundred and twenty-eight yuan, is this necessary? We are now financially scarce, and the last lottery ticket was only recovered more than 800 yuan, and the result was spent in the New Year. ā€

"Isn't that your finance department going to give everyone a New Year's red envelope? If we don't send red envelopes, we can still balance some funds, there are some local resources in Dongfang Port, such as timber, coal, iron ore, but our large-scale production is far from on the right track, a large number of factories are still under construction, financial expenditure may occur at any time The phenomenon of capital chain breakage, if it is not for the Zheng family fleet to come to buy goods this time, I am afraid that we will not be able to come up with funds to carry out the construction of dry docks, right? Yusha began to question the financial department's boldness.

"No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education!" Jiang Yan spoke on the stage, "This sentence should have basically been heard by all of us present!" What is education? Education is the highest condition for a country and a nation to be strong! ā€

"There is indeed power in numbers, but if you are an uneducated person, you don't know where to go, no matter how powerful you are. No matter how large the population is, it can only be used to do some basic work, such as manual work, and it may not be able to do it well! However, educated people can flexibly apply the knowledge they have learned to their work, and I think the comrades in the industrial and agricultural sectors below should feel it. We come from the future, and some common sense in our daily work and life is still amazing in the hearts of the current natives, and the equipment and production concepts we bring are based on these small common sense. Just say that the boiler that exploded in the last power plant was caused by the laziness and illegal operation of the indigenous workers, and what a great loss has it caused us? Until now, there is still a generator that cannot work, and what is even more terrifying is that it almost endangered the life of Executive Committee member Zhang Yuan! Therefore, the development of education does not need to be discussed, but must be carried out! Only with an educated population can the country's development and strength be truly realized. ā€

"Won't it?" Comments were made below. "In the old time and space, we were all educated, but we didn't see the development and strength of the country!"

"You'd be wrong!" Jiang Yan directly refuted this view above. "Education for All in China is one of the best countries, but we started late and missed the best opportunity to develop education. But you have to look at it, the country will basically have to enjoy the dividends of education after 30 to 40 years of education, so you can't just look at the present. The country in which we established this Senate is naturally not just for our own generation, right? We also want our children to be proud to be patriarchs in the world of the future, right? ā€

"I don't care if I'm proud or not, the question is, does it take so long to go from carrying out education to enjoying the demographic dividend of education?"

"Yes, everyone knows Qian Xuesen, these high-level intellectuals who returned to China after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and many of them are even students who were sent to study at public expense during the Wu Peifu era. The time for them to exert their power is decades later, so if you want to enjoy the return on your investment in education, you had better be patient, but once the return on investment in education is effective, it will be the time when the country will develop rapidly and take off. ā€

"But we need educated workers now, and we can't afford to wait until decades from now!" Before the words fell, several industrial veterans nodded on the side.

"That's the difference in education." Jiang Yan also nodded to the elders who put forward their opinions, "At this stage, we mainly carry out vocational education for adult education, which is generally based on two hundred to five hundred commonly used words, ordinary addition and subtraction, and multiplication formulas, to meet our current labor needs, and workers with these education are already competent." ā€

"So can this kind of general vocational education be directly popularized? You must know that in the old time and space we came from, everyone had to learn physics, chemistry, biology, history, geography, English - and Mao Si, Deng Li, Ma Zhe, these things are almost 99% useless in future life and work, why not make a streamlining now? ā€

"Streamlining is not suitable, we are here to break new ground, and the amount of knowledge required can be described as massive." Li Zhe below stood up, "Elders, do you know how much knowledge data there is in the data server we brought?" I wish I could get all this data into the heads of naturalized people. You must know that there is a life limit for the use of computers, basically three to five years will start to have various problems, and when the server is broken, the mobile phones in your hands will ...... By the way, the phone will break first. At that time, the data storage function of the server will become a complete decoration, and we can only take advantage of the fact that the server is still usable to convert these data into paper or other media data storage as soon as possible, so as not to cause irreparable losses. ā€

"What is said is that education cannot be streamlined, and many aspects of education must be refocused. This time and space can be regarded as a world where everything is inferior and only high in reading, and it is not a problem to recruit students in a free way, but once they have learned, will they just run away and apply their knowledge to the Wu Dynasty or Annam, or even the Maidno and Yaning people? ā€

"This is the problem of political education, it is extremely necessary to pay close attention to the political curriculum in schools, we don't need to learn Mao Si Deng Li Ma Zhe here, but we have to grasp more tightly than these." Jiang Yan nodded and said. "We need to make it clear to the educated that we are very different from other regimes in this plane, to avoid cultivating intellectuals for enemies or potential enemies, and to plant the seeds in the hearts of students who are still children that the Senate is a benefactor, so that they feel that any betrayal of the Senate is a crime."

"In the long run, this kind of political education is useless, and the second generation of naturalized people is grateful to us for saving them from the sea of suffering, but what about the third generation? Not to mention the fourth generation, they will begin to complain that the political power in their hands is not enough, and they will begin to slander the Senate, there are too many such people, pick up the bowl to eat meat, put down the chopsticks and scold the mother, when the time comes, what should we do? ā€

"You'd be dead by then, wouldn't you?" This sentence caused all the elders present to laugh.

"You can't say that," Du Yande said lightly as he tapped the microphone. "Since we have crossed into this new world, it is necessary to think about these things in advance, and we must not treat the future development of society with the idea of 'there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, and what will be the waves after death'. The Roman Empire existed for 1,480 years, and how many mistakes were made in it? This is something we want to avoid as much as possible. ā€

"You're talking about Byzantium, whether the real Roman Empire should have been Western Rome, or would it have perished in 476 AD." Tan Ran said loudly below, "The original Rome was just a mixed nation, a clan composed of three tribes, and the subsequent form of government adopted the senate system. The patriarchs next to him laughed.

"Don't laugh, everyone, our senate system is basically a copy of ancient Rome." Tan Ran shrugged his shoulders, "Everyone knows that the patriarchs are nobles, and our current naturalized people are very similar to the people of Rome back then. The difference between the Romans and ours was that they had a position called tribunes, and from 471 BC onwards, the tribunes were elected by the plebeian assembly, and they served as the chairman of the council, thus being able to express the demands of the plebeians. However, as the senate and aristocracy gradually controlled the senate, these commoner tribunes gradually lost power, which made the antagonism between the nobility and the commoners more and more serious, which was seriously weakened both economically and militarily, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire. I don't think we've all traveled to a new plane, and we can't just want to build a new Rome, right? If not, then we need to keep our eyes open! We can't go back to the old ways of Rome! ā€
