Chapter 27: Water Conservancy Experts

Thank you for the gift of the 12th chapter with you, and at the same time, thank you ★ for the reward of the classmates, bow!

———— you have to eat one bite at a time, and Xia Jun doesn't expect to build everything in one go.

Therefore, Xia Jun still plans to implement the rifle production line first, and he invested 30 million to build a production line of M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles with an annual output of 200,000 rifles.

An annual output of 200,000 is already enough, after all, the total number of armies of the East China Provisional Political Axe is only nearly 4 divisions, and the output of one year is enough for equipment.

However, M1 Garand will be in need of it in the future, and it is possible to build a few million to keep in the warehouse, and there will definitely be such troops in the future.

This single rifle production line can solve the long-term problem of supplying basic weapons to the regular army.

In addition, Xia Jun exchanged for a Czech BZ-26 light machine gun production line, which can produce 10,000 BZ-26s per year, spending Xia Jun 10 million points.

At the same time, he also invested 20 million points to exchange for the drawings of the Type 98 60mm mortar, although the mortar had appeared during the Russian War, but the mortar at that time was only a prototype, and the improved mortar during the First World War was not perfect, and the surname could not meet Xia Jun's requirements at all.

Only mortars after 1927 were the more reliable things in Xia Jun's heart, so he spent a lot of money to buy domestic mortar drawings.

Although the mortar is not too advanced due to its simple structure, the later Chinese Type 98 mortars are not too advanced, but the drawings are very expensive, because they are much beyond this era and belong to the type with a higher price. At the same time, because of the simple structure, Xia Jun can manufacture it according to the drawings by himself.

The cost of the mortar is very low, and the mature mortar is definitely a big killer in this era, and with this kind of thing, the infantry cannon can be eliminated.

The Type 98 60mm mortar has a firing range of 145m~2700m, a total weight of 14.3kg, a rate of fire of 30 rounds per minute, a shell mass of 1.33kg, and an effective killing radius of 12.9m.

If you buy the drawings and make them yourself, it is unknown whether you can achieve this data, but the weight of the gun is definitely more than 14.3 kilograms, and the effective killing radius can be reached, after all, there is no difference in explosives.

Manufacturing artillery is definitely not in a hurry, after all, it requires cannon steel, and because of the simple structure of mortars, it is entirely possible for Xia Jun to make them himself.

In terms of military industry, Xia Jun basically spent the 60 million points, M1 Garand, BZ-26, 89 mortars, are weapons that can be used for a long time, of which BZ-26 may not be in service for so long, because BZ-26's surname can not be very good, but it is also a very strong weapon in this era, and it is better to be simple, reliable and durable, with a low failure rate, at least in the battlefield before World War II.

And the M1 Garand can even be used until the end of World War II, and the same is true for the Type 89 mortar, so these are long-term investments, although they are a little more expensive, they are so-so and acceptable.

In terms of internal combustion engines, Xia Jun spent 5 million yuan to invest in an advanced internal combustion engine manufacturing plant, which is mainly used to produce diesel engines and gasoline engines.

The internal combustion engine manufacturing plant invested by Xia Jun is relatively small, and the speed of the internal combustion engine produced can reach 1500r/min, which is 700r/min more than the last century, and about 400r/min higher than the current state-of-the-art internal combustion engine. In terms of specific power, the maximum reached 700w/kg, while the maximum specific power in this era was only about 200w/kg.

In terms of thermal efficiency, the current diesel engine meat efficiency is 28%, the thermal efficiency of gasoline engines is only 20% in this era, and the thermal efficiency of Xia Jun, an internal combustion engine manufacturing plant, can reach 33%, and the thermal efficiency of gasoline engines can reach 23%.

The technology of this internal combustion engine manufacturing plant belongs to the 20s of the twentieth century, leading the world for 9 years, Xia Jun did not build the internal combustion engine manufacturing plant too big, after all, there is a shortage of technicians. In addition, it is mainly used for the production of small and medium-sized internal combustion engines, which are used to manufacture motorcycles and automobiles, and at the same time, some large internal combustion engines can be manufactured in small quantities for aircraft.

Motorcycles and automobiles don't seem to be needed for the time being, because the internal combustion engine has not yet been built, so let's build a bicycle with peace of mind first! The bicycle market in the world is also very large.

Xia Jun opened the exchange platform, calculated and calculated, it felt almost over, if these equipment and factories wanted to start, they had to be arranged for a while, so they temporarily stopped exchanging factories and equipment, and instead exchanged for the equipment needed by the navy.

Due to the needs of coastal defense, Xia Jun must have enough submarines and shore defense guns, so he exchanged 30 Type VIIB submarines for the navy, spending 60 million points, and 50 M1919 shore defense guns, spending 25 million points.

After the exchange, Xia Jun only had 52 million points left, which he used for follow-up speculation, and it was almost the end of the month, and next month's points were about to arrive.

…… All kinds of equipment and equipment have arrived in Ningde, and Ningde Baima Port has been on high alert, and all kinds of equipment will be transported away by heavy trucks immediately after they arrive at the shore.

Xie Baozhang and other naval officers excitedly greeted their naval equipment in Ningde South Port, which was thirty Type VIIB submarines.

With the addition of 30 new ships, the Navy is equivalent to 60 Type VIIB submarines, and in terms of batteries, the five ports of Fuzhou, Xiamen, Ningbo, Wenzhou, and Hangzhou will be allocated 10 M1919 shore defense guns.

At present, the main defense place of the navy is still Fujian, so it is necessary to transfer forces to Zhejiang and turn the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang into iron barrels.

There are two main defensive directions, one is Taiwan, and the other is the local direction, Taiwan is too close to Fujian, and it is easy to be attacked by the Yueben Navy. The situation in Zhejiang, on the other hand, is slightly better, and Zhejiang is far away from the original and it is easier to investigate.

In this regard, Xia Jun gave Xie Baozhang full authority to do it, and he went to arrange the factory.

Xia Jun exchanged the equipment, drawings and so on, and now it is time to build various factories. He mainly distributed the factories in two regions, one is Huai'an, Jiangsu, the other is Jian'an, and very few are distributed in Zhejiang, because Zhejiang does not have an industrial base, first of all, an energy problem will not be able to be solved in a while.

In East China, in terms of hydropower, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces rank first and second, while other provinces are not very rich in hydropower resources, because the terrain is relatively flat, so the water flow is not turbulent enough.

In terms of thermal power, coal is another problem, Zhejiang's land is short of coal, lack of oil, limited iron ore, copper, molybdenum resources are insufficient, lead and zinc lack of rich ore, aluminum, potash, phosphorus, gypsum and other minerals have no resources for mining and utilization, so it has to transport coal and electricity from Fujian.

Coal must be transported by railway, and now the railway has not been repaired, and the transmission line has also been erected.

To this end, Xia Jun began to solve the shortcomings of infrastructure while selecting teachers and students from East China University to assign the task of building the factory.

It's not just that Zhejiang has no electricity, but Jiangsu has no electricity, and the exploitation of crude oil and raw salt is in Jiangsu.

After thinking about it, Xia Jun decided to import coal and build a thermal power plant in Jiangsu, and the cost of shipping was not much higher than that of the railway, provided that advanced cargo ships were used.

So the 'East China Global Transportation Company' was equipped with 30 10,000-ton merchant ships, and Xia Jun spent 9 million points to solve the problem of coal transportation.

Xia Jun was reluctant to let other countries' merchant ships be responsible for import and export transportation, because this was not only limited by the maritime transportation capacity of other countries, but also by their transportation prices.

At the same time, Xia Jun exchanged nearly 20 million points of power generation equipment from the system, and allocated the last 10 million yuan in his hand.

These power generation facilities include thermal power and hydropower. Hydropower generation equipment is generally small and medium-sized, and Xia Jun is not keen on building those large hydropower stations.

Because those large-scale hydropower stations have a long construction period and large investment, the economic benefits are rarely comparable to those of medium-sized hydropower stations, and the construction period of small hydropower stations is even shorter, and there are more than 10,000 places in Fujian Province that can build small hydropower stations.

Of course, this time the hydropower facilities are built in Zhejiang, although Zhejiang's hydropower resources are not too big, but it does not mean that there is none, this time Xia Jun plans to build more than 300 small hydropower stations, and then build 5 medium-sized hydropower stations in Zhejiang, after the construction of these hydropower stations, can temporarily meet Zhejiang's power needs.

As for the 10 million yuan allocated, it is mainly used to build the power interconnection system of Fujian, Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces, and the main equipment is also bought by Xia Jun from the exchange platform.

The railway is already under construction, and it will not be completed until the end of next year at the earliest.

And Xia Jun has no money in his hands, of course, he is still printing money, and he can still make tens of millions to use in this regard, but it is not a way to go on like this, after all, the GDP is not too high now, and it will be an accident if he prints more bills.

Xia Jun thought of issuing treasury bonds and loans, and then asked You Zhengbin to prepare for the issuance of treasury bonds, which are divided into two years and three years.

Regarding the loan, Xia Jun planned to build these factories in his hand and then plan, and Xia Jun spent three days to determine the person in charge of each factory.

Just as he was about to get up and go to Shanghai to borrow money from those banks and money banks, Ma Hongye, the chief of the Shanghai County Police, called to report that they had intercepted a student in Shanghai who had returned to China with a pistol to join the revolution.

"Now that the identity has been ascertained, let it go, do you have to ask for instructions?" Xia Jun said to him unhappily.

"Chairman of the committee, this international student named Li Yizhi, I heard him say that he studied water conservancy in Germany, so he called to report before he was released." Ma Hongye reported with some apprehension in his heart, isn't there a reward for recommending talents? This can be regarded as a recommendation!

Li Yizhi!

Who's this?

Xia Jun didn't understand very well, so he opened the information on the exchange platform and searched it, and found that this person turned out to be a famous hydraulic scientist and educator in the early 20th century, and he was the founder of China's water conservancy in later generations.

Li Yizhi was born into a revolutionary family, and his father and uncle were important members of the Shaanxi Revolutionary Party and made contributions to the Xinhai Revolution. Therefore, at that time, there was the praise of "a family of four, two revolutionaries".

After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, Li Yizhi, who was studying in Germany, was anxious, resolutely dropped out of school, resigned from the invitation to teach Chinese at the Berlin Oriental Institute, bought a pistol and dozens of bullets, returned to China alone, and decided to throw a pen from Rong, who knew that as soon as he entered Shanghai, he was detained by the police.

Although Xia Jun allows civilians to carry guns, the scope is only in rural areas, and guns are prohibited in cities, but there is a shooting range in the city, and citizens can go to shoot targets.

His grandmother's, just when he wanted to sleep, someone sent a pillow, and Xia Jun was worried about the water conservancy problem! This brought him a water expert.

Xia Jun excitedly yelled at Ma Hongye: "Continue to detain me, and I will go to Shanghai immediately." ”

"Yes...... Be. Ma Hongye was so frightened that he stammered, not understanding what the chairman meant.
