435.Chapter 435: Sail

In addition to giving sugar, Boss Tang also began to think about controlling the pollution of the Yangtze River. As the pioneer of the industrial revolution in Europe, the Thames, Danube and Zurich rivers are all more polluted by industry than the Yangtze River, but the Yangtze River is also rapidly "catching up".

The so-called "Haiyan River is clear, the time and the years are abundant", which shows the importance of water control. The Yangtze River is now more important than the Yellow River, and if the Yangtze River is well cured, the merit can really be called the Shanghai Yanhe Qing. The problem of secretly discharging sewage is originally unsolvable, but Boss Tang has remote sensing satellites, but any large-scale sewage discharge can be detected.

Not only the Yangtze River, but also the tributaries of the Yangtze River, the Jialing River and the Xiangjiang River, can be included in the sewage monitoring. Is Boss Tang too lenient? Of course, the polluting enterprises that have been notified can be dissatisfied, and now you are allowed to disagree, and when our Vice Chairman Lin conquers the entire territory of the Qing Dynasty, you will know how severe the consequences are.

Everywhere the Windsor Empire went, all the coal-burning steamships that polluted Yan zhòng were banned, in fact, even the oil-burning ones had to be managed, and Boss Tang's big plan was to subvert the shipping system of the Yangtze River entirely. He wants to invent new inland waterway ships, surpass them in terms of speed, cost, and environmental protection, and make the Yangtze River a model for inland waterway shipping in the world.

The secret of the new invention is to make use of an ancient technology - sailing. In the past, sails were made of cloth, which required many sailors to operate, and the labor cost was not cheap. In order to save manual labor, automation is a must, so making the sail into a hard type is more in line with the requirements of automation.

Boss Tang chose carbon fiber, reinforced with aluminum, the whole sail is divided into five layers, the sail is raised, lowered, and sailed are all automated, and the intelligent program is written in cooperation with experienced shipping masters. Since the sail is stiff, even the mast is omitted, and the lower part of the sail is able to support its own upper part on its own.

It is estimated that the use of 5 to 10 giant sails up to 50 meters high can save more than 30% of fuel for cargo ships over 1,000 tons. Just this one, how much cost can our Boss Tang save compared to other people's ships, it may be enough to kill all opponents in seconds.

Of course, this is not enough, 30% is not satisfied with Boss Tang's appetite. Each of these giant sails has an area of 1,000 square meters, and if it is all covered with solar cell film, it can generate a huge amount of electricity of 700 kilowatts in the sun, and ten pieces are 7,000 kilowatts.

Even if there is no wind or fuel, these 7,000 kilowatts alone can make a thousand-ton freighter reach a speed of 20 knots. Wind and light combine to make it possible for large ships to sail at 30 knots with zero energy. That's 55 km/h, catching up with the speed of mainstream trains.

Thousands of tons or even tens of thousands of tons of marine ships can save 60% of fuel. Inland waterway shipping is dominated by a displacement of about 1,000 tons and below, so Boss Tang can use zero-energy shipping to sweep away other competitors.

Passenger transport is even more fun, this kind of weightless transport makes the hull design can make a fuss, and the design of the three hulls together to minimize the water resistance of the hull can make the sailboat undergo incredible changes, and the wind alone can reach high speeds.

A wind speed of 10 knots is a light wind, and the ultimate speed of a trimaran can reach 2 of the wind speed. 5 times. This is against human instinct, as if a car was going faster than the person pushing it, how could this be?

This brings us to the physics of sails. In fact, the sail does not rely on thrust, but on the density difference caused by the difference in flow speed between the two sides of the sail, just like the wing effect. Only racing trimarans have 2. With such an exaggerated effect of 5 times the wind speed, Master Tang, who pursues balance and safety, designed an average wind speed of 2 times, and it is in the case of self-balancing. This is also the secret of why sailboats can sail against the wind.

We see solo sailing competitions where the athletes always jump up and down from side to side of the boat to balance the weight of the hull to get the maximum difference in flow speed. Master Tang's design of the water car can accommodate 4 to 8 people, and the activity space is like a four-bedroom apartment. However, the length and height of the ship reached about 50 meters.

The bottom of the suitcase automatically moves left and right to balance the hull without the need for human intervention. Such mobile water apartments are capable of sailing at an average speed of 30 kilometers per hour on the Yangtze River, and with the addition of solar cell films, they can reach a zero-power sailing speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

With an annual rent of only 10 euros, this perfect mobile apartment can be regarded as their home by those who love sports and travel. The 10 euro miles also include the unrivalled financial resources of the Windsor consortium in the Yangtze River sailing ports, which can be berthed free of charge.

And those who rent this smart sail can also be a brother on the water, earn back the 10 euros, and then enjoy their life on the water without worries. Such a powerful freight and passenger transport system is enough to completely eliminate the original high-energy-consumption, high-polluting shipping industry.

With this high-speed sailboat with unlimited power, the Windsor fishing empire can break through the limitations of the route and fish anywhere in the rivers, lakes and seas under the guidance of biota tracking satellites. Of course, safety should be considered at sea, and in combination with meteorological satellites, it is forbidden to go to places where there is a danger of storms, and if it is too far away, unmanned fishing boats can be sent there.

Using the electric current fixation technique learned from electric eels, high-speed ocean-going automatic fishing vessels are possible, and in case of accidents, remote manual intervention can be carried out via satellite communication.

Fishing used to be risky, but now, thanks to Boss Tang's efforts, the industry has become as safe as a video game, meaning that refugees who can't find jobs can arrange for them to watch remote fishing boats, which can create hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Field scientists are interested in high-speed sailboats with wind and light, but Boss Tang has something better for them - a collapsible seaplane. The beauty of this type of aircraft is that it can be parked on the water and its wings erected as a sailboat.

When transformed into a sailboat, it can not only sail at a speed of 30 knots, but also accumulate electricity to prepare for flight. Of course, this wing is both a sail and a solar film, and the performance is almost good, with a maximum speed of 450 km/h.

But considering its infinite ability to sail, it's already pretty powerful. During the day it is able to fly at an unlimited speed of 200 kilometers per hour with the help of solar energy, and at night it is able to continue at a speed of 30 knots, with an average speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour. In fact, this is a large warship bird drone, capable of carrying 10 to 20 passengers.

The advantages of the trimaran sailing aircraft in the ocean have comprehensively surpassed the airship, both in terms of speed and cost, and since then everyone has seen less and less airships across the ocean.

However, the airship is also being fully upgraded, with solar membranes that allow the airship to fly with zero energy during the day. The area of the airship is too large, so with a lithium battery pack, the excess power can be charged during the day, and it can continue to fly at night, which is still the most cost-effective flying tool on land.

Today's airships can fly over the entire earth with zero energy consumption, of course, at a speed of only 100 kilometers per hour, which is only suitable for tourism, scientific research, bulk production of raw materials and other industries that do not require much speed.

The logistics costs of the Entente countries remain high, and after hearing that the zero-energy airship has been launched, it has also desperately developed this strategic means of transportation, and in order to save costs, hydrogen is launched, and in the future, everyone will often hear that the Entente airship has exploded or something.

Boss Tang has come up with a lot of tricks for the ecological protection of the Yangtze River, and he has already begun to inspect the number of local fishermen, and is about to completely ban traditional trawl fishing, and replace it with the automatic fishing he invented, because every discharge can be recorded.

All future catches will be recorded, completely cutting off any overfishing and leading to a catastrophic reduction in large quantities of fish. As for the fishermen who complain about the lack of output, they can apply to go to the ocean fishing, anyway, our emperor has already invented the ocean sailing ship, whether it is to rent a boat to go to sea on his own or become an employee of the Windsor enterprise is easy to discuss.

This time, all the factories related to sailing will be located in Nanjing, and this ancient city will have the biggest development opportunity in history. As soon as the news of China News came out, Nanjing's real estate "bang" exploded, which was breathtaking. It can be seen that people are too confident in the emperor's magic trick to manipulate the development of the industry.

After the investigation of the polluting factories was completed, the Yangtze River Commission in Nanjing issued an ultimatum to more than 100,000 factories, and if they discharged any more pollution, it would be regarded as a declaration of war on the United Nations Security Council.

This wording is very powerful, 90% of the manufacturers shut down the factories and left, and the rest continued to work quietly after the deadline, because they did not understand what the remote sensing satellites were doing, and the result was that the Security Council informed more than 10,000 factories that on December 12 the Security Council's air force would blow up their factories, and in order to avoid casualties, please do not go to work in the factories that day, and do not stay near the factories at the very least.

This is the first time that the Security Council has taken action against civilians, and it has done so righteously that the central government of the Great Qing State said on behalf of the entire people that it "exploded its lungs".

In any case, on this day, 108 laser-propelled strategic bombers took off from Nanjing, one wave to the east and one wave to the west, each plane was in charge of about 100 factories, and they simply blew these more than 10,000 factories into powder, so that they could witness the great determination of our Great Yangtze River Committee to control pollution.

At this time, the capitalists and factory owners who dared to disobey their orders were all repentant, and there were as many people who had lost their money as if they had crossed the river. In the end, there were still 48 civilians who were not afraid of death and accidentally broke into the factory were killed or injured in the bombing, and the Yangtze River Committee compensated and sincerely apologized to the 12 innocent people who did not know the truth. The rest deserve it
