Hearing the sound, Wang Desheng, who was nearly forty years old, straightened up and turned around, and when he saw that it was Qin Chuan, he hurriedly put down the copper triangle and pencil in his hand and greeted him with a smile. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Hello Lord Qin!"

Since the last time Sheng Xuanhuai sent him the approval of the deputy envoy of the by-election Chang Lu Yanyun and the official uniform of Cong Sipin, in addition to the Qin family and his two children, as well as the brothers Chu Yunfei and Chu Yuntao, the dyeing factory workers and the people of the factory protection team began to call adults. For some reason, Qin Chuan felt uncomfortable when he heard the word adult. Qin Chuan thought about it and felt that it was because of Li Hongzhang.

According to common sense, after obtaining the approval of the ministry, the by-election officials should go to the official office of the by-election position and the yamen or official residence of the governor, governor, envoy of the province, political envoy and other officials of the province where they are located to pay a visit.

But Li Hongzhang asked Sheng Xuanhuai to send him a message, asking him not to go to the Governor's Mansion to post a visit now, but to wait for the day of the Martial Arts Academy's review, which made Qin Chuan very uncomfortable, and he always felt that his name as a by-election officer was a little unjustified.

However, since Li Hongzhang has something to say, he can only do it according to Li Hongzhang's intentions, the governor and political envoy of Zhili are all registered and simplified, these two places are now vacant, Qin Chuan naturally does not need to visit, but Zhou Fu and Changlu Salt Transport Envoy there, including Sheng Xuanhuai's customs road Qin Chuan have all been posted according to etiquette.

Wang Desheng greeted him, Qin Chuan smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Mr. Wang, how many times have I said it, you are different from others, don't say that I am still just a by-election official, even if there is a day, you should not always be called by adults, just call me by the word, and you can't do it again in the future." ”

Wang Desheng put away his smile and said: "Lord Qin, we are called so, we are sincerely grateful to you, we have been overseas for several years, painstakingly learning foreigner techniques and techniques, and after returning to China, I wanted to make a difference, but I didn't want to 。。。。。。 ”

Wang Desheng sighed deeply and said, "Only when we come to you, Lord Qin, can we feel that learning is useful and successful." As the saying goes, a man dies for his confidant, and a woman is for a person who pleases himself. We've all discussed it, and as long as you need us, we're here to do our best to help you with your business. ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Wang Desheng's words couldn't help but make Qin Chuan very happy, and he said a few good words in a row excitedly.

Originally, I was worried that these people would not want to stay here longer because they could not give them any title for the time being, and they would not be able to achieve anything in their careers here, but when they heard Wang Desheng's words, Qin Chuan's uneasy heart finally fell to the ground.

Wang Desheng turned around and pointed to the drawings on the shore: "Lord Qin, this is the drawing I designed according to the pattern you gave, you can take a look." ”

Qin Chuan had drawn a picture of a catamaran in the shape of a catamaran missile speedboat that he had seen before crossing ten days ago according to his memory, although he knew that Wang Desheng had studied shipbuilding in Germany, but he didn't expect Wang Desheng to design it, he just wanted to ask Wang Desheng to help him see, this kind of catamaran that will be a new thing in a hundred years, at this time, whether the Tianjin Machinery Bureau can build it, after all, they have built submarines.

If the Tianjin Machinery Bureau can build one, Qin Chuan would like to try to build one, and if the technology is mature, he will also want to turn this extremely fast catamaran into a torpedo boat. It's just that now it's getting closer and closer to the first day, and I don't know if it's too late.

As soon as he heard Wang Desheng say that he had drawn a design drawing, Qin Chuan, who was surprised and delighted, took a few steps to the board and took it to look at it.

On the table is an unfinished catamaran structure drawing, only the general internal structure and power layout of the hull, Qin Chuan does not understand the mechanical design, nor does he understand fluid mechanics, he can only understand the simple structural diagram at most, even so, Qin Chuan, who was shocked in his heart, still carefully looked at the drawings and asked Wang Desheng carefully.

According to Wang Desheng, he carefully studied the catamaran, he believes that this ingenious hull design, not only novel shape, but also because of the reduction of a single hull, the wave resistance is greatly reduced, under the same power plant, it will be much higher than the monohull speed, the most important thing is that because the width of the catamaran is much larger than that of the monohull of the same displacement, it has the ability to withstand large wind and waves, and has better wave adaptability. Wang also believes that the larger the hull of this catamaran, the more obvious the advantages.

What excites Qin Chuan the most is that Wang Desheng told him that such a catamaran iron-hulled ship can be built by Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau under the existing technical conditions. The only difficulty, if a coal-fired boiler is installed, must be large enough.

If a coal-fired boiler is installed, not to mention a large hull, the superstructure of the ship must also be very tall, and the payload of the hull will be greatly reduced, which makes Qin Chuan a little depressed. Looking at Qin Chuan, whose brows were getting tighter and tighter, Wang Desheng thought about it and said to Qin Chuan.

"Lord Qin, there are indeed many drawbacks to installing coal-fired boilers, but now it is not without other methods."

"Is there another way?"

Qin Chuan smiled bitterly in his heart and thought, "What other way can there be, there is no high-power gas turbine available at this time." ”

Although he thought so in his heart, he still tentatively asked Wang Desheng: "Is there any better way?" ”

Wang Desheng recalled: "I heard from the German engineer in the bureau a month ago that in their Germany, there is now a machine that has just been successfully developed for one or two years, called the internal combustion engine, which is said to be able to produce more than 200 horsepower by burning gasoline, and if we can have that kind of internal combustion engine to power this catamaran, it is estimated that there will be no problem with the speed of this ship." ”

Wang Desheng's words surprised Qin Chuan, he really didn't expect that Europe would have an internal combustion engine at this time, although the power of 200 horsepower was still a little small, but his catamaran itself would not be very large, not to mention that he could also use two internal combustion engines as power.

Qin Chuan decided to contact William Xiao in a while and ask him to inquire about the internal combustion engine.

Solving the power problem, Qin Chuan and Wang Desheng discussed the details of the catamaran for a while, Wang Desheng proposed to build a wooden hull of the same proportion, to be launched first to do seaworthiness experiments, although the machine bureau can do it, but it is estimated that funds are needed, and there must be foreign engineers in the bureau to cooperate. For Wang Desheng's requests, Qin Chuan also agreed to them one by one.

After talking about the catamaran with Wang Desheng, Bian Changsheng, Zha Lianbiao, Zhu Yuchun, and Yang Deming also got out of class, knowing that Qin Chuan was coming, Bian Changsheng came to Qin Chuan with an 88 rifle with great interest。。。。。。
