Yang Yuanzhao's arrival, the next day, was known by Fabian and others, Yang Yuanzhao took the initiative to find Fabian and the other three, and asked them to spare a day, some problems related to fantasy-level construction, need to make some adjustments, mainly the application of new technology.

Fabian and others didn't think much about it, during this period of time, the fantasy class from preparation to implementation, carried out very smoothly, this is a super project, even in Germany, a giant warship of more than 30,000 tons, the start of the project is not completed with a pat on the head, but in the Far East, he is also so crazy, for no other reason, the northwest is not ordinary rich, 50,000 tons of docks, all at once built 2, 30,000 tons of 4, plus 20,000 tons and 10,000 tons, Qingdao shipyards lined up, is dozens of dozens of on, and I heard that the expansion project is also starting, striving to build 5-6 50,000-ton docks.

The ambition of the Northwest and Qingdao Shipyard made Fabian hear it straight, this is a 10,000-ton dock, representing the highest standard in the whole world, the most powerful naval weapons, the manufacturing basis of battleships, and the same as wholesale, does the Northwest really have such a strong processing capacity.

Before coming to the Northwest, Fabian may be disdainful of such radicalism, the 50,000-ton dockyard is also the top in the world, but after he really came to China, he was not sure, in just 10 days, he saw a lot of workers, the strength of the Northwest in this aspect of processing, absolutely the best in the world, as a designer, the chief designer of a battleship, for all aspects of industry, there is a certain research. He could tell at a glance that the northwest was above the machine. It is already the best in the world and is just starting out in Germany. On the high-speed machine tool that has not yet been studied, the Northwest is absolutely first-class, a complex, polyhedral, extremely inclined workpiece, the workers of the Northwest only took 15 minutes to complete the processing, which is almost impossible in Germany. Not to mention the yield rate, even if it is a single processing process, the time required is calculated in days.

Machine tools are the foundation of industry, any machine qì, can be produced through guò machine tools, the Northwest first has the basis for replicating these, coupled with China's breathtaking human resources, he saw a dense crowd of workers. I even thought that the workers of the whole world were concentrated in China, and it was such a huge labor force as the backing. Various infrastructure projects are also advancing rapidly.

It was only after contact that Fabian understood that the Northwest was above the shipbuilding industry. It's not familiar, but even if there is. They are also junior workers, but these workers. In terms of his attitude of learning and conscientiousness, he far surpassed other workers he had seen, even in Germany, and under the command of them and German designers, they quickly entered the state, and even drew inferences from one another, and put forward many ideas and construction methods of constructive significance.

On this day, Fabian came out of the design room, the fantasy class calculation came to an end, and then it was necessary to work step by step and water mill, an unprecedented super battleship, the construction period is also calculated in years, no matter how compressed the northwest is, it will take eight or nine months, take one day, there are not many problems.

Fabian found a free time, and came out with him, including Linus and Harvey, who were invited to evaluate a small boat, drove out of the Qingdao shipyard, and after a big circle in the field, they entered Qingdao, which was necessary to hide, and now for the whole world, the Qingdao shipyard was a secret.

At the wharf of Qingdao Port, a very beautiful boat that looks very good, is the kind that travels offshore, or even on the river, and is very small, and the total weight will not exceed 800 tons. The three of them didn't speak, they got on the boat in order, the boat left slowly, just like an ordinary ship, when the ship left the dock, Fabian asked a little solemnly: "Mr. Yang, are you an all-welded ship?" ”

Yang Yuanzhao nodded and said, "That's it!" ”

Fabian didn't speak, carefully observed the ship, the appearance of the ship has been clearly seen, there is no trace of willow joint, the previous shipbuilding process, even if the willow joint is very perfect, it is impossible to have the slightest trace, all over the hull of the willow joint, will destroy the overall feeling of the ship, at most with a certain method to cover up, this ship does not, the appearance in addition to the anti-rust paint, natural.

The three designers walked into the cabin, carefully observed each part, completely integrated, this ship has not been renovated, it is still a simple industrial product, the inside of a qiē at a glance, there is no willow joint, but in some steel and steel junction parts, there are slight traces, that gap is not obvious, do not look closely, almost invisible.

Noticing Fabian's gaze, Yang Yuanzhao explained: "This is the interior, which will be covered by decoration in the future, and there is no need to use seamless welding, it is ordinary welding!" ”

Fabian was noncommittal, and said calmly: "Let the ship speed up, how fast can the ship go?" ”

"Verse 32!"

It sounds fast, Fabian and the others didn't say much, small boats, small boats of less than 800 tons, not to mention 32 knots, 42 knots are possible, as long as the power is enough, the design is a little better, the problem is definitely not big, but at such a speed, with such a new process as welding, can it withstand it?

"Hurry up to the max!" Fabian said calmly.

Yang Yuanzhao nodded, using the intercom system, gave an order to the captain, the power crew roared, the whole ship began to tremble, and then it accelerated obviously, the acceleration process was not long, only a few minutes or more than ten minutes, it had accelerated to the highest, the boat smoothly rowed the water, and went forward extremely fast on the channel.

The layman looks at the lively, the insider looks at the doorway, the whole acceleration process, the hull is relatively stable, which proves that this ship is in the power balance, the design is quite good, in the acceleration process, the hull has no metal collision and tearing sound, which proves that the welding technology is quite reliable, at least not much worse than the willow joint, up and down after a circle, in the crew, also heard, a few days ago when the sea trial, encountered a level 6 wind, under the double test of about 3 meters of waves and winds, There is no obvious damage to the boat, which proves from the side that the hull is strong, which proves that the welding technology is strong, similar to that of a complete metal, and the strength is sufficient.

The sea trial has been to the final stage, Fabian also asked about the technical indicators of this ship, when the question was finished, he was silent, as an excellent designer, mainly to design warships, he is very keenly aware of the importance of welding for a ship, compared to the willow joint, in the overall weight, at least 10-12%, which is extremely important for a ship, take the king class, about 30,000 tons of full load, 10% is 3,000 tons, which is almost 3 twin batteries, or about half the weight of the armor.

Battleships, especially battleships that are integrated into battleships, each tonnage has a considerable role, through guò welding, reducing unnecessary weight, of course, the willow joint is strong for the shell stability, but the internal willow joint is not important, the improvement of welding, will bring a series of even revolutionary consequences.

Before, Fabian was only in accordance with Yang Yuanzhao's requirements, when designing, for the interior of the ship, did not use willow joints, but the deep-rooted ideas, so that even if he did not design those, but naturally took this into account, in the fantasy-level design, slightly conservative, to ensure the margin, but on the basis of the previous one, a slight breakthrough, to ensure that in case this so-called new technology, can not be used on the fantasy level, the fantasy class can also be changed.

Now it seems that the effect of welding is far more powerful than he imagined, can connect two metals without hindrance, some irregular metal parts that are more difficult to process, can choose welding, this technology is simply God-given to the shipbuilding industry, greatly increasing the strength of the ship itself and the speed of construction.

A sea trial, only a few hours of time, but countless genius ideas and creativity, germinated in the hearts of the three people, for the naval gun itself, not suitable for the use of welding, the strength brought by welding, can not support the intensity of the naval gun launch, but for the turret, turret, transmission and loading device, there are too many places that can use welding, some places that can't go down to people, can use welding, reduce a lot of ineffective consumption.

Fabian is the same, before just conjecture, or conservative, after seeing the types and strength of welding, especially after the sea trial, he also went to the welding workshop, and saw all the categories and types of welding in the northwest, from seamless welding to arc welding, argon arc welding, oxygen welding, etc., dozens of different types, different types of welding, so that his brain was opened, not only in an instant, after a series of adjustments to the ship itself, but also thought of the adjustment of construction, the speed of interior decoration and layout, It will be greatly increased on the basis of the original, the small processing surface of welding, will make the processing of the entire hull divided into different surfaces and working belts, as long as the reasonable arrangement, the manpower advantage of the northwest, can be used completely, the processing time of this ship, greatly compressed.

Radical ideas, as soon as they appeared, they couldn't stop at all, the three of them kept perfecting their ideas, eager to go back to the real thing now, I thought that it had reached the ultimate fantasy level of design, and now there is room for forward promotion and development, which represents a limit, excellence is what every designer wants, without Yang Yuanzhao urging, they are still very energetic, almost without Yang Yuanzhao to supervise, and soon produced drawings.
