[Thank you very much ~ Roasted old hen ~ brother's 588 reward ~ and thank you to every brother who voted and read the book ~~]

Every morning, the Mawei Artillery Bureau will usher in a team of neatly dressed Ship Master Academy students, this is Qin Kai's routine daily training and queue training, for this paramilitary training, as the squad leader Zhou Ruidong is very thorough implementation of this order, and even Zhang Kui, at the beginning, also chirped some different opinions.

Fortunately, the prestige accumulated in this month played a role, and among the students in the class, there were still students who were late or left early for various reasons in the first week, but seeing that Qin Kai was the first to arrive at the academy every day, the students all silently began to accept this somewhat peculiar morning training.

After a month of training and queue training, all the students felt the amazing changes in their physique and mental outlook, and Qin Kai grasped the opportunity very accurately, and carried out a great discussion on the history of modern warfare at home and abroad among the students, and the examples he proposed included the just-concluded Russian-Turkish border war, the just-started intellectual-Peruvian saltpeter war, the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, and the Battle of Ashanti in 1873.

These examples of these battles were dictated by Qin Kai, recorded by Huang Xing and Sun Xiang, and distributed to the students, and for a young man in a closed country, for the first time to learn the truth about these important wars that have taken place in various parts of the world in the past ten years, the impact of these information is undoubtedly enormous.

War is undoubtedly the best tool to test national strength, and the wars listed by Qin Kai are full of various changes in pre-modern warfare, of course, as Qin Kai's evil inducement, the Franco-Prussian War was highlighted by him, and he sneered at the combat power of the French.

The Russian-Turkish war revealed the world outside the war, the disparity in national strength, even if the war is won, it is impossible to win diplomatic negotiations, "a weak country has no diplomacy", Qin Kai once again made a loud conclusion.

The Battle of Ashanti, which took place in the colonial war on the Gold Coast (modern Ghana), once again revealed the true face of these powers, and at the same time pushed a new branch of the army - the Marine Corps onto the stage of history.

And the Chilean-Peruvian saltpeter war has evolved into a solo show of the ironclad ship "Huaasca", which reveals something even more reminiscent.

And Zhang Kui's untimely proposal that the Battle of Guangzhou and the Battle of Dagu should be included in the discussion, which was naturally suppressed by Qin Kai with conventional violent actions, and Qin Kai didn't want to label anyone at this time as a "vain discussion of government affairs".

Zhou Ruidong picked up the hat for Zhang Kui very righteously, looked at this hardcore student, and asked calmly: "Zhang Kui, can't you ask less boring questions that you know the results?" ”

"Can't !!" Zhang Kui grinned and rejected it with a grin.

For these unheard of wars, as well as Qin Kai's analysis of the causes and consequences of the war, especially his assertion that "all enemies of the Chinese nation are paper tigers" were even more hyped, and many students went around to verify the details of these wars and participate in discussions, and these materials became the ancestors of the internal manuscripts of the Mawei School.

Soon, a booklet excerpted from Qin Kai's "Machine Qì Industry" lesson plan, teaching discussions, war analysis, and investigation reports of the students in the academy was published, and the cover was written by Sun Fu, who thought that his calligraphy was the god of Wang Youjun's form—"On the Rejuvenation of the Country by Industry."

Ding Richang has been in a much better mental state after taking the Musk Baoxin Pill prepared by Jimin Pharmacy these days, and Qin Kai instructed Dr. David to come and do some examinations for him every other day, and the results of the examination showed that his physical condition was recovering well.

Now he is holding a booklet and reading it carefully, this is naturally Qin Kai's new work, Ding Richang was amazed while reading it, the content of this booklet was read by Sun Fu invited a number of old scholars and old officials in the yamen to read, and deleted a lot of anachronistic things, but which sea power, industrial revival (this word was originally the industrial revolution, Sun Fujian changed it to this thing), and the words of giant ships and cannons are all deafening and deafening. ,

Sun Fu sat below and closed his eyes to recuperate, but from time to time the corner of his eyes glanced at the adult above with his eyebrows fluttering, although the current Sun Fu did not have any special cooperative relationship with Qin Kai, but with his shrewdness, he naturally understood that the future of this young man may be limitless in the future, he and Ding Richang are both the same idea, help him to help.

"Sun Fu, what do you think Qin Liefeng's move means?" After reading a short article, Ding Richang looked up and asked the cover inscriber below who closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

"My lord, Qin Liefeng's knowledge in this chest is immeasurable, these are the doctrines he taught his students, I have never heard of them, it seems that he thinks this place is too small to use his fists and feet!" Sun Fu's eyes widened slightly, and he said lightly.

"In words?" Ding Richang pondered for a moment, "Not necessarily! Although the content of this booklet is new, but the statement is relatively simple, which makes me quite interested, what kind of knowledge does Qin Liefeng instill in his students when he is in class? ”

Ding Richang guessed correctly that Qin Kai was not a statement, but he didn't know what Qin Kai wanted to do, and in fact, some of these pamphlets printed by the He family were sent to the academy for free and became sought-after books among the students, while the other part was sent to the Nanyang Navy Master through other channels.

The discussion of the four modern wars was vigorously launched, and under the establishment of Qin Kai, a journal founded by Xue Chao, the leader of the group, appeared in the Mawei Ship Administration School, of course, the content was strictly limited to academic discussions and the introduction of the latest situation of the great powers, some of which came from Qin Kai, and some of which were collected by the He family and the Wu family from the foreign compradors in Guangzhou, among them, the content of the restoration and militarization of the small country on the eastern sea was also written into the journal.

A few days later, the research institute on the side of the Mawei Artillery Bureau finally ushered in a large number of equipment, since the establishment of the institute, in fact, it is more like a school, the continuous expansion of the school building and a steady stream of teenagers from the surrounding countryside, towns and villages to study, constitute the main theme of the institute.

The new equipment is the chemical equipment and various raw materials purchased by Qin Kai in Guangzhou Tong Guò Schleyer, the chemical laboratory is set up separately on the side of the research institute, Qin Kai thought about the manual manpower, but did not find a good manpower, no way, had to go into battle shirtless, personally took Huang Xing, Sun Xiang, and transferred a group of new workers who had just been found in the art garden, and did the work of the real yàn worker.

And the light brain, which has always been able to run only in basic mode, has finally completed the repair of some functions and information again after Qin Kai's devilish training has accumulated enough biological energy, and the hologram of the repair status drawn by the light brain shows that the light brain can be activated in normal mode, but there is no progress in the recovery of the number of jù areas.

At this time, Qin Kai was conducting an electrolysis test, a direct current generator driven by a boiler provided electricity to electrolyze water, and the oxygen and hydrogen produced were collected into the test flask, and a group of young people looked at this magical change, and they wrote down every word of the instructor.

And what Qin Kai has to do now is to teach these students to be practical members with common sense of chemical experiments, after all, the chemical industry in this era is definitely an emerging industry, especially in the Chinese land that has just started the Westernization Movement, and the two students Huang Xing and Sun Xiang have obviously become the best among them, which is nothing more than the reason why they follow Qin Kai all day long.

However, Qin Kai has extremely strict regulations for chemical laboratories, and under the current circumstances, only tests approved by him are allowed, and he doesn't want to turn his real laboratory into a Nobel family-style explosion factory.

The Shanghai Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau in East China is the largest military base of the Qing Empire in this era, and the Third Bureau of Cannonballs located in Hongkou is the first batch of factories of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

Lin Deping is a small official of the Bomb Bureau, who has already passed the age of 30 and is resting under a charging machine, and now he is also not dead or alive, and the Shell Bureau has no major projects now, and it has been peaceful for more than ten years, and all types of shells are backlogged in the warehouse, and the imperial court has made a decree this year to greatly reduce the amount of money for making bombs, and it seems that this day is getting more and more difficult.

Outside, a craftsman ran in with a celadon rice bowl and shouted at Lin Deping: "Master Lin, help you bring the rice, let's eat vegetable noodle soup today, Lao Huang in the canteen said, add lard, it's fragrant!" ”,

This is Huang Si, a craftsman from northern Jiangsu, Lin Deping touched his belly, he was indeed a little hungry, he had been sitting here all morning, life was really lonely like snow!

"Ah Si, what are you going to do in the morning, don't bump into the supervisor, beware of losing your job!" Lin Deping did not forget to whip his subordinates, although he has nothing to do now, but if he meets the superintendent, he will have to be scolded, and now the bomb bureau is the most unbusiness, and the natural fire consumption and filial piety are pitiful, and the supervisor's temper is naturally a lot bigger.

"Got it!" Huang Si put down his rice bowl and began to take out a letter from his arms again, "Master Lin, there is also a letter from the customs post office, for you!" ”

Lin Deping, who was holding chopsticks and preparing to eat vegetable noodle soup, was stunned, he was alone, and the people he knew were these craftsmen in the Manufacturing Bureau, how could anyone write a letter to him, put down the chopsticks and took the letter, only to see that it was Uncle Wu in the Artillery Bureau, that was also his own master, and he had been with Wu Yun for a few years when he first entered the Artillery Bureau.

Thinking about Uncle Wu, he was also quite unlucky, he was on an errand here when the artillery bureau was opened, and he finally had a position, and he couldn't talk about a good day, so he also had food and drink, but he was assigned to the place in southern Fujian.

"Ah Si, Uncle Wu's letter, it is estimated that I will have a hard time staying there......" Lin Deping opened the letter and said while reading it, and after a few lines, the words were silent.

Huang Si naturally felt strange, and hurriedly went up to take a look, it turned out that the letter was not what Lin Deping said at all.

"Deping Xian's nephew! When I was far away from Shanghai that day, I didn't expect today's good situation. I am now also a small official in the Mawei Artillery Bureau, but I already have the title of senior technician, the Artillery Bureau Qin is young and promising, knows how to make good use of people, and treats people kindly, so I am writing to inform you today, if you wish to come, with the skill of the virtuous nephew, the salary of 20 taels of silver is as easy as a hand, and the skilled workers have a minimum of 8 taels of silver, if you are interested in coming, you can go to the 16 shops to show this letter to the shop at No. 65 He Jia. ”

Huang Si took a breath of cold air at that time, and grabbed Lin Deping, "Good Longlidong, Uncle Wu is developed now, Master Lin, if you go, you must take me with you, we can't get 20 taels, 8 taels are still confident." ”

Lin Deping's heart is still pounding at this time, now the salary in the bomb bureau is only 5 taels per month, Uncle Wu promised himself 20 taels, that is the master with himself, naturally knows his own weight, dare to love himself at the beginning of the operation, he made up his mind, if he goes to Fuzhou successfully, he must go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha.

Hurriedly folded the letter in his arms, swept the vegetable noodle soup into his belly in three or two times, he greeted Huang Si, and asked him to wait for his news and take care of his mouth. He also has some partners in the manufacturing bureau, since he is going to Fuzhou to break through, he naturally has to be trusted by hand, and it is easy to do things. Along the way, Lin Deping couldn't help but chuckle a few times, and he didn't make passers-by roll of their eyes.

Qin Kai's current daily arrangement can be described as a race against time, and he always feels that time is not enough, if it weren't for the uninterrupted and forced devilish training in the past few months, which has made him practice a rather robust body, he would really be exhausted by such high-intensity work.

After the morning chemistry class, he immediately rushed to the Artillery Bureau to guide the projects that were being carried out by the various public relations teams. Qin Kai's project subcontracting is precisely for this purpose, and he needs to instill in these future researchers the concept that individual genius can only be maximized in a team.

He has a negative attitude towards the so-called Chinese who are often criticized by later generations as not being good at team assistance, and those foreigners have made up some nonsensical comments such as "a Chinese is a dragon, and a group of Chinese are a worm", he thinks that this was formed under special historical conditions, of course, there are some traditional Chinese factors, and it is also a sequelae left by the one-sided emphasis on economic speed in society for a period of time.

But who can deny the fact that in the huge project of the two bombs and one satellite of the Republic, it was the collective feat of those scientists who worked in obscurity all their lives in the uninhabited secret base, and the research that could only be done by the imperialist powers at the beginning, and with their full cooperation, it was quickly completed in China.

The two groups were convened to carry out the public relations of the small hydraulic press, and the two sides exchanged their results and discoveries, which took a small amount of communication time, but it was the best learning opportunity for these workers who were immersed in technology, and the development progress of the two groups was different, and in general, Xu Guofang's group was faster. ,

However, through the results of communication and exchange, the development progress has been further improved, and several difficult problems have also been raised, such as the bearing capacity of the shaft rod of the hydraulic equipment, etc., these are topics that they have never been exposed to, Qin Kai immediately searched for relevant information through the light brain, based on the holographic image, he drew a schematic diagram, put forward some key points, and gave several pressure formulas, which made those workers who had come into contact with this Qin Lord immediately admired the five-body throw.

However, the research progress of the two groups of people who studied hydraulic stamping equipment was beyond Qin Kai's expectations, and the two groups with a large number of junior workers led by Wang Fei and Qian Qing, who were experts in iron-making blast furnaces, surpassed the other group in the research of many small topics, and the other group was equipped with personnel in accordance with the personnel standards set by Qin Kai. This is somewhat unexpected, after the two groups of people carried out the exchange of results, it also greatly improved the progress of the public relations of the machine, of course, Qin Kai still used the light brain to provide solutions to some difficult problems.

In the final public relations project of artillery development, but also got the biggest surprise, the public relations of rapid-fire guns was finally carried out but the first to enter the final stage, an 80mm small-caliber rapid-fire gun has been developed, this is naturally a gun with a re-entry device, for this era, this is a leapfrog progress, of course, this is from Qin Kai's detailed design drawings.

The supporting copper-shelled shells are being made, and the shells used in the test stage are all chestnut explosives poured from Ding Richang, and they can only be artificially made, after all, they are only used for research and testing, and there are no high requirements for output.

To be honest, Qin Kai was very satisfied with this development speed, and greatly praised the members of the research and development, allowing them to continue to develop a larger-caliber rapid-fire gun after the success of this experimental product.

There is more than one surprise here, since Wu Yun mobilized skilled workers to find a solution to the problem of deep drilling of artillery, four days later, a new apprentice in the factory suddenly had an idea, proposed to use two slave workpieces at the same time, as long as the speed of the drilling machine is synchronized, the drilling task of the 254mm caliber cannon planned to be developed this time can be completed.

For such a simple plan, Qin Kai was somewhat skeptical, thought for a while and asked, "Lao Wu, have you discussed this issue with Xu Guofang, does Lao Xu think it is feasible to improve?" ”

"My lord, Lao Xu has already sent an improved transmission bearing yesterday, and a set of transmission system drives two machines, in that case, synchronization can be ensured, the only worry is the power of the steam boiler, but Lao Xu has prepared a solution!"

"Lao Wu, thank you for your hard work, you can discuss this matter with Lao Xu, if you have any questions, come directly to the laboratory to find me, and you will also send a good hand to debug and debug the boring machine, right! Cannonballs and gunpowder have to find another way to make them......" Qin Kai was depressed for a while, looking up at the sky, this military industry is really a system engineering, and this clue is really stretched thin by himself and his subordinates with such two hundred people.
