Pierre is familiar with the design of the ship, but on this new type of fishing boat, he is not familiar with many things, such as cold storage, generators, and diesel power units, or some basic numbers given by Yang Yuanzhao, these will be in the future, simple fine-tuning, according to the real thing to adjust.

By the way, in order to ensure the production of these ships, Yang Yuanzhao also worked with the engineers of parallel engineering, the designers and engineers of the ships to select those parts that are difficult to process and difficult for small shipyards, and listed a part of them, part of which can be processed by Jiangnan Shipyard, and the other part can be processed by top parts processing factories in Northwest China.

After these supporting and system works have been completed, the rest is waiting for the wisher to take the bait. The news of large-scale production of fishing boats, especially the leadership of the Northwest Bank, has made many people see the opportunity, the industry that the Northwest has devoted itself to, which represents making money, in this case, even without how to publicize the Northwest, many people rushed up to cooperate, which has eliminated a lot of concerns, the main purpose has been decided, and the next step is to gradually implement, which is the investment managers of the Northwest Bank, doing very well.

After staying in Shanghai for about a week and dealing with all the things that should be handled, Yang Yuanzhao took a steamboat and went to Qingdao. Then Qingdao pinned its hopes on the navy, although it is still a large construction site, and even a basic shipyard has not been formed. However, the billions of dollars invested abroad, plus the large number of machines copied by the all-in-one machine, will be filled here.

Of course, the 10,000-ton hydraulic press and the free forging press are all copied from Germany, and the similarity is too high. Basically, it's unlikely to be put here, but it's good to be on the boat. What really needs a 10,000-ton hydraulic press and a free forging press to produce, that is, a small number of main keels, armor, artillery, etc. This part is also safer to put in Baotou.

It may only take a day or two to get from Shanghai to Qingdao, but it represents a complete arrival at the end. Qingdao, Yang Yuanzhao crossed more than half the world, traveled more than 20,000 nautical miles, from China to Europe, and then back to China, the journey was almost 5 months, and it was time to set off. It was the summer of 1912, but after the return, it was already the end of 1912. It's about to be 1913.

It's 1913, less than 2 years before the outbreak of World War I in 1914, in fact, it won't be more than 20 months, and Yang Yuanzhao can really not do much. The past time, from 1908 to 1912. In less than 4 years, Yang Yuanzhao went all out to devote himself to the construction of Baotou, and now the basic production capacity has been the best in the world, the huge machine tools in the northwest and the millions of industrial workers trained by them, enough for the northwest to burst production capacity, complete and smooth transition.

China's huge population makes there no shortage of labor at all, and the agricultural machinery produced in the northwest has increasingly liberated people from the land and become a new labor force.

Now, I have gone to Europe, I have seen the powerful high-end industries in Europe, especially the warships, and I will understand that this is the real power, although the decisive role is still in the army, but without the ocean, it will never be able to go out of the mainland, if China wants to rise, in the war after 2 years, to get the goods, then it must start building warships.

Qingdao Port, Yang Yuanzhao quietly disembarked, large-scale fleet, at present, has completely disappeared, when entering the Chinese field, has begun to differentiate, things transported back from Germany, is not accounted for 1.2 million tons, after coming to China, especially after experiencing piracy, most of them are fully loaded, Yang Yuanzhao every time he arrives at a port, he will get some things to those empty ships, especially the strict control of 30 10,000-ton ships, 5 10,000-ton hydraulic presses and 5 free forging presses, These are the most advanced models in Germany, Yang Yuanzhao did not choose, he selected the largest 25,000 tons of hydraulic press and 17,000 tons of free forging press from the middle, this thing occupies almost the majority of the tonnage of these ships, this batch of things, also down the port of Shanghai, directly up to Wuhan, and then through the guò railway to the northwest.

Some of the machinery will be placed in Qingdao Shipyard, including the two most important docks, the 50,000-ton large dock, which is one of the most advanced docks not only in China but also in the world.

The completion of the fantasy class made several designers eager to try, whether it was successful or not, such a large, epoch-making giant ship, in their hands, from design to generation, this is a sense of achievement. Because Yang Yuanzhao stayed in Shanghai, they went directly to Qingdao, and after getting off the ship, they took the initiative to inquire about the completion of the 50,000-ton dock.

With their idea is the same, Yang Yuanzhao also paid great attention to the situation of the 50,000-ton dock, when he was in India, he telegraphed and ordered, the designers and engineers who arrived in advance had already begun to install the dock, it stands to reason that the dock is easy and then difficult, dozens of docks, always start with the smallest, but the fantasy class is always the most important, Yang Yuanzhao almost rigidly changed the conventional approach with orders, starting from the largest, 50,000 tons of dock, design to infrastructure, Already in the past few months, the assault construction was completed, and the ready-made things, after being unloaded, began to be installed with the help of a large number of engineers and technicians.

In order to ensure time and efficiency, the northwest not only mobilized a large number of lifting machinery and equipment, but also mobilized more than 8,000 workers for installation, the larger the project, the more manpower can do the things in particular, when Yang Yuanzhao felt Qingdao, found that the large dock has a prototype, the overall efficiency is very high, just 15 days, has been carried out for the most part. It is estimated that in a maximum of 20 days, not only can the overall construction and commissioning be completed, but the initial construction of the battleship can also be carried out.

20 days, not in vain, the preliminary preparations need to be carried out, Harvey got the marine diesel boiler produced by the Northwest, which was optimized by the Northwest, the performance is more outstanding than the British boiler, and there is a breakthrough in power, which makes Harvey who originally expected it to be almost on the line Very happy, which not only met the previous fantasy design requirements, but also slightly improved.

Power is the most important part of a battleship, the dreadnought of that year, the reason why it was so powerful, is because of the British breakthrough point in terms of power, and therefore gave Germany a huge pressure, almost all efforts to catch up, if Germany did not withstand the pressure of the follow-up, I am afraid there will be no future World War I anything, Germany will be British * ship, completely overwhelmed.

Linus also got a material, this is not a product of Taiyuan Special Steel, it is a product of Yang Yuanzhao, no way, the formula and some metal materials he got from the United Kingdom have not been sent back too far, however, the first time he arrived in China, he was sent through the Guò fleet, and for a long time in the future, especially before the British formula on 14-inch guns, and the perfect use of hydraulic press and electroslag smelting and other technologies in the manufacture of cannon steel, materials or something, can only rely on Yang Yuanzhao.

Fortunately, only two ships were built, and each of the fantasy class guns is 10, even if it is a spare barrel and real yàn to use, 500 tons is enough, with the current level of the all-in-one machine, that is, a matter of a few days, there is not much delay, which is far from the weight of the entire ship.

If the entire ship is made by Yang Yuanzhao, I'm afraid he doesn't have this time, and it's too abrupt, even if he copies all the warships of Britain and Germany, which is different from the army, the navy must learn to build ships, otherwise, just like the former Beiyang Naval Division, the ninth largest navy in the world that was bought, but once there is any damage, it will not be repaired at all, and the more it fights, the less it will be, and even in the later stage, he will hide in the military port and dare not come out.

Harvey and Linus have gains, Fabian has no direct gains, but it is not bad, because the Fantasy class is really a ship that can be designed and built, such an epoch-making and powerful ship, which may be born in their hands in the future, this sense of accomplishment is something that all designers cannot refuse, and they almost put themselves into intense preparations on the first day of their arrival in Qingdao.

Because of the support of Yang Yuanzhao, for their requirements, the northwest is fully satisfied, asking for money and money, and finally they integrated a team of about 20,000 people.

After turning around, he didn't alarm anyone, but he knew the current situation through simple returns and progress, and even the construction work of Qingdao Shipyard was out of his expectations, and the huge manpower could make several directions go hand in hand, without any key and non-key relationships, German engineers and designers worked seriously, even if it was the pursuit of speed, it also ensured a harsh inspection attitude, according to the estimation of the shipyard designers, this super-large-scale shipyard, at least 4 times faster than the fastest speed in Germany, the speed of China, the speed of the northwest, has also become a miracle recognized by these Germans.
