[During the new book ~ ask for a recommended ticket, thank you brothers~~]

Lu Han was the first to stand up, and he had already figured out that trip to Tianjin. Many people from Lian San also stood up, but a tall man sitting next to Lu Han did not stand up immediately, he suddenly raised his head and asked: "Lord Qin, what you said really makes me feel tempted, but I doubt the strength of Mawei Shipmaster......

Qin Kai stared at him and said calmly word by word, "After entering the training camp, I need to get your unconditional trust, this is the reason why I fully support you!" ”

"Mark Xu Shoushan and be willing to follow Lord Qin!" Dahan thought about it and resolutely stood up and responded loudly, and the people in the room stood up one after another, asking these young people with ideas to return to the lifeless sailor and still live that muddy life, and they all resolutely chose a new future.

"You are Xu Shoushan Xu Yushan!" Qin Kai looked the big man up and down with some surprise, Xu Shoushan, Qin Kai naturally knew this person, history books like to travel in landscapes, sing poems, have the demeanor of a Confucian general, make friends with heroes, and often pretend to be heroes. In the Battle of Majiang, although the "Zhenwu" ship he piloted had the weakest firepower and armor, and he was the most charged, after the artillery was destroyed by the enemy, he threw the ship and hit the enemy, and he was a heroic figure like "Deng Shichang".

"Very good, Lu Han and Xu Shoushan, let the two of you temporarily be the main and deputy managers, and the rest of the ship's duties, you can negotiate and arrange! Now line up and follow me to see your training ships! Qin Kai gave a loud order.

Everyone is inexplicable, let's still play with the training ship? This is also in the Nanyang Naval Division, the 200-ton steamship is already full of No. 20 people, and there are nearly 50 people, which is really Lord Qin, these are soldiers who have just come out of the academy!

However, seeing the neat formation of Qin Kai's student soldiers in front of them, Lu Han and Xu Shoushan shouted the marching order loudly and followed the team in front.

After several tight checkpoints, the military attachés of the training camp finally saw a huge dock in the distance, a dark battleship had been dragged into the dock, many craftsmen were going up and down the hull, the huge size of this ship, obviously only those latest models of Western warships can be compared, everyone's breathing suddenly became short, for the sailors, the battleship is undoubtedly their life.

Qin Kai was already standing dozens of meters away from the dock, and Wu Yun, who was in charge of the installation of the artillery, had already run up to report, "My lord, the two 10-inch breech guns you requested to be installed in the first stage have been completed, and there are two 120mm rapid-fire guns installed at the same time. Li Xiong of the steam engine workshop is leading the R&D team to study the 3,000-horsepower steam unit on the ship, and strive to integrate the "Huawu I" steam turbine developed by you as soon as possible. ”

The "Huawu I" was actually an improvement of the axial multi-stage reactionary steam turbine provided by Qin Kai by the steam engine research and development team, and the Parsons steam turbine that had not yet been born in this era was also based on the same principle. The new steam turbine has increased the efficiency of converting boiler power into ship power by nearly 20 percent, and when it was tested, it was really jaw-dropping.

A team of military attachés from the training camp lined up and circled around this giant ship, these are all old sailors, and they all estimated that this should be a battleship of about 4,000 tons......

This is an unthinkable thing, everyone knows that Lu Han once followed this Lord Qin for a while, and his eyes were naturally focused on him, most of these military attaches were from the Mawei Ship Master School, although there were too many questions in their hearts, they would not start discussing it now.

Qin Kai looked at the heat and said with a smile: "Everyone, I promised you, I can't guarantee you a good life, but I can guarantee you the greatest support, this is the first battleship in our training camp, and there will be more new warships in the future!" ”

"Lord Qin, when was that?"

"I don't know!" Qin Kai replied crisply, "First of all, let's introduce your first training ship, a German-made 3,560-ton ironclad battleship, 77 meters long, 10.1 meters wide, 3,000 horses with boiler power, standard single-tube engine, 14.6 knots before heavy artillery is tested, 330mm armor for boilers and ammunition compartments, 250mm armor for side chords and key parts, and 180mm armor for artillery firing positions." ”,

This team of military attaches has been completely shocked by the extreme luxury of this battleship, the largest wooden-hulled iron-clad ship of the Nanyang Naval Division is only about 1,000 tons, compared with this battleship, it is completely a children's toy.

Qin Kai turned his head to look at the different expressions of these military attaches behind him, and roared, "Lu Han! ”

"Here!" Lu Han replied loudly.

"Let you come, not to visit, you must keep in mind every point I said, in the process of training at sea, you must know all about artillery, armor, power, operating performance, coal consumption, etc., record the number of jù, and send it to the shipmaster for collection and research!"

"Got it!" Lu Han replied loudly, such a luxurious warship will continue to be transformed, what a lucky thing to be able to participate in it, every military attache in the queue is thinking about the same thing excitedly.

"At present, the artillery installed and tested is our self-produced 254mm (26 times caliber) breech gun, with a firing range of 5,500 meters, using round shells, and the other is a 120mm rapid-fire gun, using copper-shelled conical shells, and the use of the artillery should also be recorded in detail and provided to the Artillery Bureau as a basis for improvement!"

The strangest thing for many military attaches is that this battleship did not have a name, which is also the meaning of Qin Kai, according to the meaning of Qin Kai, only the number 501 was painted on the side string, and then Qin Kai took this team of military attaches back to the newly built training camp barracks again, now everything that should be said has been said, and what should be seen has also been seen, but at this time, everyone's mood is absolutely difficult to calm down.

However, Qin Kai's next assignment was obviously not an easy job, announcing that he would practice routinely every morning, and in the morning he would get on the ship and follow the craftsmen to familiarize himself with the mechanical and artillery performance of the 501 ship, and in the afternoon he would be trained by the pipe band and the deputy pipe band, and all the other personnel of the 501 ship were entrusted to Lu Han and Xu Shoushan to recruit, of course, the source of the soldiers was mainly the security regiment and the students of the Ship Master Academy who had been integrated into the artillery bureau system.

After the task was arranged, Qin Kai left Lu Han and Xu Shoushan alone, Lu Han gained Qin Kai's trust so much, there are some reasons for this, the strange thing is Xu Shoushan, he and this Qin Supervisor have never met at all, but Lord Qin seems to know a lot of information about him, and he still doesn't understand how to pick himself.

"Cousin Geng, Brother Yushan, what do you think? By the end of the year at the latest, I want to have a long-distance plan, and I need at least 200 soldiers who can fight both at sea and land, can I do it? ”

Lu Han thought for a while and said: "Lord Qin, there is no problem with the 501 ship at all, this manpower, give me a week, it will definitely be fully equipped, as for the training of recruits, I have seen the security regiment of your Artillery Bureau, this spirit is good, but to train into a qualified navy, it will take at least half a year." ”

Xu Shoushan nodded in agreement with Lu Han's statement, he also meant this. Qin Kai also understood that this sailor was really in a hurry, and agreed with their opinions, but urged them to train with all their might, and any matter and needs in the training camp could come directly to him for advice.

The shelves of the Nanyang Navy Training Camp were erected, and Qin Kai once again made a move, so every morning Lu Han and Xu Shoushan would routinely report and put forward various needs at the same time. For military salaries, Qin Kai has never been stingy, and all military attachés have been compensated twice as much, and the recruits recruited later have also received fifty percent higher military salaries than the regular ones.

Compared with the hot scene of the training camp, in the Mawei Research Institute, it was much quieter. The arrival of a large number of German skilled workers made the small officials in the factory breathe a sigh of relief, and similarly, Chen Tongpu, who was in charge of chemical practice, finally found his place here, originally he wanted to come back to engage in mechanical design work, but unfortunately, now this work is obviously done by Supervisor Qin and his students.

After seeing the huge new machines of the Artillery Bureau, and hearing from Xu Guofang that these were all the masterpieces of the Qin Supervision Office, Humpty Dumpty Chen Tongpu completely dispelled the idea of developing from this aspect, and soon he got inspiration from the technical research teams of several projects that the Artillery Bureau was operating.

Chen Fatzi came to Qin Kai early in the morning and proposed that he take the lead in setting up a research team for a chemical project, as for the research topic, he thought about a few, but Qin Kai vetoed them one by one.

Seeing Chen Tongpu's depressed application, Qin Kai dispelled the idea of continuing to joke with him, "Chen Tongpu, I don't need you to study academic questions such as what elements here, I need you to quickly transform the chemical knowledge you have mastered into a plan that can generate economic value or military value!" ”,

The fat man's brain finally opened up, "Supervisor, I understand, the key topic I am preparing is to develop explosives!" You see how ......"

Qin Kai almost vomited blood, these guys were all dug out of the water division with great difficulty, this is to play with explosives, one is not careful, they are all boomed, and he has to die, "Chen Tongpu, explosives can only kill people, what I need you to study is not to kill people, but to seek the well-being of the living!" ”

The fat man nodded as if he didn't understand, Qin Kai handed him a research plan for daily chemicals, and saw a long list of catalogs, Chen Tongpu realized that he was usually short-sighted, it turned out that there were so many civilian products waiting for him to develop, the fat man and the three classmates who studied in the United States quickly decided to form a civil chemical research group, and Qin Kai participated in their discussion very actively.

"Kiriura, what do you have in mind for that list I made?"

"My lord, I see that the soap and toothpaste industry has been developed on the list, we discussed it, this clothing, food, housing and transportation are the first clothes, adults have developed a steam engine-powered textile machine, let's start with dyes!" A few children studying in the United States have some vision, the modern printing and dyeing industry has extremely high profits, but it is definitely a highly polluting industry.

Qin Kai thought for a while, "Tongpu, you don't need to call me Lord, there are only teachers in this institute, and it is our common goal to fight for Chinese science and technology!" Dye...... This is indeed a good note, the profit of chemical dyes is very high, and the development safety is still good, but I propose you to develop chemical dyes as a means to train chemical technical workers, the large-scale production of chemical dyes, I will not consider it for the time being, but this technology must be firmly mastered! ”

"Why only master the technology and not use it for profit?" The fat man Tongpu didn't ask this time, but his classmate Chen Qiang next to him asked a question with some surprise.

"The chemical industry is a dangerous industry, and while synthesizing high-value products, we also produce a large amount of hazardous waste that cannot be processed, and the disposal of these hazardous wastes is definitely a headache, so I will not consider putting these technologies into production in Fuzhou for the time being!"

"The teacher's meaning is that I will carry out this project, only improve the technology, not put it into production, and carry out other research projects at the same time, right?" Chen Tongpu finally got his senses.

"Yes, I will build yì you, the theme of this first round of technical research is papermaking technology and metal refining!"

Four children in the United States listened to the straight crazy, this papermaking is one of the four major inventions, although there is no large-scale papermaking industry in China, but this output is also amazing, such an ancient production technology is also necessary for technical research.

"Teacher, what is the relationship between these two technologies of papermaking and metal refining?" A few young people were not good at asking Teacher Qin directly about the strange topic, so they knocked on the side.

Qin Kai naturally expected the reaction of these people, he took out a stack of materials, handed them to them, and said with a smile: "Of course, it is not for you to study and produce paper for writing and printing, but to produce this kind of paper!" The requirements and processes of paper are detailed above, and what you have to do is to put the whole process into industrialization. ”

A few children who studied in the United States naturally didn't know the purpose of this paper, but they just felt that the requirements of this paper paper were very strange, flammable, high toughness, and strong hygroscopicity, and they really didn't know the role of this paper.

Qin Kai knows that this paper is one of the important factors in the rise of the cigarette industry, only after the production of paper is large-scale, the cigarette industry can form large-scale production, in the time and space where he came, knowing that after a few decades in the city of New China, high-quality cigarettes, such as Zhonghua brand and other paper can only be imported from abroad.

In this era, the cigarette industry has not appeared at all, but tobacco has appeared for more than 100 years.

In the factories under the Mawei Artillery Bureau and the Shipmaster, due to the extensive use of steam engines, steam generators have been effectively popularized, Qin Kai originally intended to carry out barrage hydropower generation around him, but under the discussion with Sun Fu, he temporarily canceled this plan, this era of water means the maintenance of agricultural production, building a dam on any river, it is definitely a powder keg that can cause peasant riots.

Therefore, his second topic is about the refining of new metals, which is a technology closely related to the military industry. ,

The learning mode of the Mawei Ship Master School, since the new superintendent took office, has undergone great changes, the former school was taught by French technicians in shipbuilding, after Qin Kai and the French, the school superintendent Ri Yige and several teachers discussed, the pure theory course was compressed to half a day.

In the other half a day, German technicians took turns to study in various factories of the shipyard, which allowed many students to get rid of theoretical learning and all the basic courses were compressed to half a day, the only trouble was the problem of student communication, and it was also necessary to be specially equipped with interpreters, but fortunately, this problem was not difficult to solve in the treaty port.

After the school taught ship driving, Qin Kai and the English school superintendent Jia Le after discussion, also added three days a week of practical lessons, in this regard, Qin Kai is a small calculation, the conflict between China and France will intensify in the next few years, the front hall he will gradually transfer to the German technician to teach, and the back school is relatively stable, but relying on John Bull, Gallic chicken is obviously not a long-term solution.

Qin Kai's current education model completely follows the plan of the later technical colleges, but due to the lack of teachers, this is the most headache for him, but in the conversation with the Frenchman Riyige, the highest-paid instructor of the Mawei shipmaster, the Frenchman gave an idea.

The French naturally came to have something else, "Supervisor Qin, I privately thought that your current arrangement does not seem to be very satisfied with the French teachers I recruited?" ”

"Mr. Riyige, you're too worried, I just want to train a group of teachers from my own country, so I have increased the number of teachers in the former school, I'm sorry for causing your misunderstanding, I don't know what you have to do?" Qin Kai snorted haha.

Ri Yige is obviously also an old fox, and the establishment of the Mawei Ship Master School, he can be said to have worked hard, otherwise Zuo Dashuai would not have personally approved the treatment of a thousand taels a month. The rapid rise of this Qin Supervisor, as the chief instructor who has been coming to the school, he naturally sees it very clearly, and what this Qin Supervisor does makes him quite surprised.

However, he also knew best the qualifications of these teachers recruited from France and England, only a small number of the more than forty teachers were teachers in regular schools, and the rest were workers recruited from factories, but these people were still a huge wealth for the newly enlightened Mawei Ship Administration.

However, the decline in the teaching quality of the Ship Master Academy in recent years is indeed obvious, and unprofessional teachers are also one of the reasons, Ri Yige thought for a while and asked: "Supervisor Qin, there is one thing I still need to get your confirmation!" The contract between Zuo Dashuai and us must be followed, and in addition, I have a Jianyì! ”

Qin Kai smiled slightly, the contract signed by Zuo Dashuai and these foreign teachers is naturally to be observed, not to mention that this salary is not paid by himself in the first place, and Ding Richang, the Minister of Shipping, is the main master, "That's natural, I promise you this matter with my personal honor, Mr. Riyige, tell me about your construction?" ”
