What shocked Qian Qing and the team he brought the most was not the comprehensive fire control of the "Dragon" system named by Qin Kai himself, but the construction of this great prime minister far beyond their imagination.

“…… The horsetail room represents the endless end of technology and innovation, and the idea of integrated fire control may not be more rigid than the current accuracy, but should be designed with a more open mind, and only the calculation clock to complete the calculation and input of the azimuth of the enemy and the enemy, may be just the beginning......"

“…… The future of fire control lies in the prediction of the unknown, not in the analysis of the current situation...... It is necessary to strive to improve the accuracy of machinery and create a design that is still worth tapping......"

For the "Dragon" system of integrated fire control, Qin Kai can be said to have a soft spot, although at present, the comprehensive fire control system based on the alpha calculation clock brought out by Mawei Heavy Industry and Mawei Real Yàn Room is still far from the mature integrated fire control he knows...... However, the "dragon" fire control, which is still in its infancy, has encountered the same confusion that integrated fire control has encountered in history.

Because the fire control based on the concept of prediction and prediction has completely departed from the conventional concept of counting the results, the accuracy of the fire control system is absolutely terrible before the entire fire control system is perfected...... However, Qin Kai knew a little bit very clearly...... Even half a century later, for a long time with electronic computers, integrated fire control will dominate the entire world of naval firepower.

In the world where he once was, nearly half a century later, the most prestigious Bismarck vs. Hood battle was precisely the strongest collision between the German-made Argo integrated fire control system and the analytical Dreyer fire control platform. And what makes future generations sigh is that. It was Dreyer Fire Control who pushed Argo Integrated Fire Control out of the Royal Navy's procurement catalogue with a very good performance.

Of course. Qin Kai is also well aware of the research and development difficulties encountered by the Mawei team, this thing is too advanced, even after a hundred years of rampant electronic computers, prediction and prediction are problems that mathematicians and computer wizards want to break through, not to mention in this mechanical era of mechanical calculation clocks, integrators, instrument panels, gears, transmission shafts, and rotating dials.

However, compared with the Storm, Rafale, and Typhoon series of mechanical fire control, the concept of integrated fire control has completely surpassed the latest Storm series shooting command instrument based on observation and correction in this era. A large number of shots are provided with a snapshot of the enemy's shots, but this snapshot is forever behind reality......

Especially in the fierce confrontation of naval warfare, no commander is stupid enough to follow the enemy's predetermined route and move at a predetermined speed, which is the biggest disadvantage of analytical fire control...... Of course, the continuous improvement of the accuracy of the analysis can achieve a certain degree of compensation, however, future naval battles may even be a salvo over the horizon. This is already an unsolvable problem for analytical fire control!

After getting Qin Kai's handbook. Qian Qing's team fell into extreme excitement that day, and what caused this abnormal situation was obviously a few small points in the text of the great prime minister, these laymen can't see the famous little mention yì, for several fire control designers and calculation clock designers, it is no less than a hint of Daigo empowerment!

Huang Xuechao, an engineer at the Mawei Precision Manufacturing Factory, who was in charge of the alpha calculation clock, slept only 16 hours a week, and then submitted a plan to the design team to comprehensively improve the fire control of the "dragon" system.

On the new fire control platform, the original alpha calculation clock completes the input of the azimuth number jù of both sides, and adjusts it to the calculation clock to calculate the azimuth number jù and the azimuth change rate at the same time, and adds a calculation clock to calculate the lateral change rate of the enemy and the enemy by multiplying the azimuth change rate and the distance!

After the emergence of an extremely important number jù - the transverse rate of change, the use of the integrator can be used to deduce more numbers jù required for fire control, and now in front of the Mawei team will be another very crazy proposition, how to integrate the suddenly increased calculation clock and analog output number jù into the fire control ......

However, to Qian Qing's slight disappointment, just as the Mawei team was frantically investing in the new design, Qin Kai had quietly returned to Beijing from his inspection of the Northern Fleet, and he obviously had no chance to listen to the premier's teachings again......

On January 30, Qin Kai, who had just finished his New Year's policy address, met with British Minister Powell very happily at the Prime Minister's Office.

"Dear Premier Qin, London hopes that you can exert greater influence in African affairs, especially the German Empire, which has close ties to your country!" Bauer wasted little time in politeness, but went straight to the point: the British Empire still maintained a great influence on the seas, but on land, especially on the European continent, the German Empire was replacing the British Empire.

Qin Kai accepted the compliment of the British with a smile, China's strong rise has eaten away at almost all the interests of the British Empire in the Far East, of course, the huge storage of China's Nanyang Free Trade Zone is the poison bait that he continues to invest in the British, the industry of the British Empire is constantly investing in low-end production capacity, and Australia's huge wool and India's cheap cotton are the root of Britain's low-end industry.

The huge free trade zone in the Far East, while providing business opportunities for a large number of Chinese businessmen and land production resources for new Chinese immigrants, has also become a sales place for low-end British goods, and because of this, the British Empire also had to provide assistance for Chinese goods to enter the European market!

In the seemingly fair trade, because of the high added value provided by Nanyang Chemical and China's huge human resources, there is a huge deficit that the British cannot estimate...... I am very sure that the British Empire is actually much weaker than the history I once knew!

Power can't wait to represent London today, apparently because tensions are rising between Europe's major alliances...... And the trigger is precisely the diplomatic incident that has just happened in southern Africa!

Kaiser Wilhelm was clearly pleased with the German army's and navy's performance in the previous Transvaal conflict, which in the eyes of the arrogant emperor was a testament to the power and influence of the Reich...... And Transvaal Prime Minister Kruger is also an ambitious and arrogant politician who can't read the form.

A week ago, when Sir Lehmann, the German minister to Mozambique, met with Kruger, the Transvaal prime minister went so far as to publicly express his accusations against the British Empire, and while allowing Britain to redeem war criminals, the big-mouthed and unceremoniously continued to criticize Rhodes, who still held the British Privy Council, and Chamberlain, the colonial minister.

What made Qin Kai also a little out of sight was that this literati politician, who seemed to have a good IQ in military affairs, actually showed extremely clumsy diplomatic skills and understanding, and he even publicly declared, "Britain, which knows that it is at a loss, can no longer point fingers at the internal affairs of the Transvaal as confidently as before!" ”

On 26 January, Sir Lehmann announced in the Transvaal that the German government would conclude a "Treaty of Permanent Amity and Alliance" with the Orange Autonomous Confederation.

For this obviously meant that Germany had become fully involved in the conflict between the Boers and the British, and that under the treaty of alliance between the two sides, Germany was even obliged to protect the Boer state, which the British did not want to see at all...... The British government had never considered that challenging the most powerful army empire on the continent would be a decision that would not outweigh the cost, and no politician would have made such a decision.

Bauer is obviously at this critical moment, and it is difficult for the British government to influence Germany in Europe, but in today's world pattern, another powerful force has reached the point where Britain has to look sideways and pay attention to it!

Qin Kai did not refuse the request of the British, and he never despised the British Empire, but Britain is definitely the threshold that China must cross to become a world power, and an important link in his plan to weaken Britain - the worsening Boer situation!

Therefore, he very readily rejected Bauer's request, for a very simple reason -- the Chinese government does not interfere in the internal affairs and foreign affairs of friendly countries; of course, under Bauer's strong mediation, Qin Kai also reluctantly stated that China is willing to communicate with Germany on the African issue, but he cannot give any guarantees.

Of course, Qin Kai did not let him slip away so easily, but incidentally put forward the request of the two countries to conclude the tariff agreement, and reached a long-pending foreign trade negotiation with the United Kingdom...... In this regard, Bauer did not shirk.

Regarding the situation in the Boers, Qin Kai naturally knew that the contradiction between the Dutch Boers and the British was completely irreconcilable, and the later British occupied the territory of the Dutch, and drove the Dutch to the Transvaal, where birds don't shit, that is, the Dutch hit the shit luck, and as a result, they squatted on the land of the Rand gold mine.

And the old scheming of the British also doomed it to be difficult for foreign powers to intervene in this Boer War, because in the Anglo-Boer agreement, there was a huge trap that the Boers had never been aware of, and it was the existence of this trap that would be very limited if the British and the Boers tore their faces, and the European countries would be deeply restricted from intervening in it—and this naturally included Germany!
