Section 136 Impasse
With the simulation results, when Yang Chao rushed to Laiwu, Diesel was already bored visiting the Laiwu Arsenal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Our arsenal is good, isn't it?"
Yang Chao showed off a little proudly, of course it's good, in order to get a piece of the pie in the Russo-Japanese War, the Americans brought in all the good machines they could get, the most sophisticated machine tools, the best generators, motors, and so on.
Diesel nodded: "It's really good, the technical power here is beyond my imagination." I want to be able to produce cylinders with the help of the machines here. ”
Diesel is really an expert, the boring machine that can boring out the 105 cannon is simply too suitable to make cylinders, the same high chamber pressure, the same high temperature, speaking of the technology of making cannons seems to have always been inseparable from the engine, Watt also encountered this kind of problem when producing steam engines, and finally the cylinders of the steam engine were also made by the machine of the British arsenal to manufacture cannons.
"Of course, I will fully support you. However, I found some problems in your design, analyze it mathematically, don't you think that the stress in several places here exceeds the current material limit, if this design is adopted, it will greatly affect the life of the machine, according to my mathematical analysis, the theoretical life does not exceed 3,000 revolutions. ”
Yang Chao teased, this is all the result of the spaceship's computer simulation.
But Diesel's eyes lit up all of a sudden, his design has also been tested in Sulzer's factory, and it really does not exceed three thousand revolutions, but every time he tests it, he can find a little problem, and then slowly improve, but Yang Chao pointed out several problems at once, if this is according to his experimental method, at least ten or more experiments have to be used, and it will take two or three years.
Doing technology is such a trouble, you have to be patient and do experiments step by step, trial and error, correction, and then you can progress.
However, Yang Chao actually used mathematical methods to find out all his problems, and pointed out seventeen fallacies at once, which made Diesel marvel inexplicably, but according to Yang Chao's method, he also checked and demonstrated them one by one, and found that there were really some problems.
Diesel suddenly had a new understanding of Yang Chao, but he didn't have much doubt that a person who could improve the airship would be impossible if he didn't have strong mathematical ability, because mathematics is the foundation of all science, and Diesel himself is very good at mathematics.
Grasping these problems at once, Diesel was not only not depressed, not angry, but very happy, thanked Yang Chao, he was a little impatient, apologized to Yang Chao, and then asked Yang Chao for help, he quickly entered the laboratory of the arsenal, used the tools here, and began to design from scratch.
As the father of the diesel engine, the principle of the diesel engine was discovered by him, and Diesel's understanding of the diesel engine can be described as a godfather, so he quickly changed those unreasonable designs, held back in the laboratory for three days, and finally made a new diesel engine design.
Yang Chao took the design plan and told Diesel that he would tell him the answer the next day, and he had to work hard all night.
Diesel said that he understood, in fact, he was already very surprised, many things in his opinion are outside mathematics, and it is possible to use mathematics to solve, but the mathematical model to be established is probably more troublesome than directly creating physical experiments.
Yang Chao quietly got into the single dormitory in the factory, scanned all the drawings with his watch, and then found a high position, and easily teleported back to the spaceship in Dongying, as long as it was not more than a thousand kilometers, the spacecraft could make high-intensity data contact with the watch.
The next day, when Diesel got Yang Chao's wrong design plan again, he was very shocked by this, and admired Yang Chao's mathematical attainments to the extreme, but he was not frustrated with his design, and immediately continued to design.
What Diesel didn't know was that he had already enjoyed the treatment of later generations of designers who were first conducting practical experiments through computer simulations.
It took Diesel several more days to redesign the design, and Yang Chao spent another night doing math calculations, and the next day told him about the fallacy.
In this way, the two of them continued to improve, so that what might have taken Diesel years and millions of dollars in experimental costs turned into a simple task of drawing drawings and doing mathematical calculations.
Diesel's design skills are still very strong, although there are always new flaws every time, but there are fewer and fewer of them, and the design is becoming more and more reasonable.
Just when Yang Chao was suffocating in the Laiwu Arsenal and playing scientific innovation work with Diesel.
In the court in Beijing, as Yang Chao thought, a new round of political struggle was launched.
This time, the protagonists have changed from the diehards and Westernists in the past to the newly rising Kangliang Group and Westernists.
The most intense confrontation really revolved around those miscellaneous armies in the northeast.
Kang Liang hoped to mobilize these troops into the customs, under the banner of Gongwei Gyeonggi, hoping to transfer the troops to Beijing. He also said that those armies lacked restraint and had very bad military discipline in the northeast, so they hoped to be transferred to the Guannei to watch over them, so as not to harm the people, and also to reduce the clashes between those armies and the Tsarist Russian army.
Some of the troops in the northeast are bandit troops, some are hateful soldiers, and the last part is the student army.
The Westernists said that it was precisely because of the poor quality of these troops that they could not be transferred to Beijing. The Westernists also demanded that these armies be dismantled under the pretext of harming the common people and conflicting with foreigners.
Kang Liang wanted to transfer troops into Beijing, just to ensure his power and ensure his safety, and he didn't want to be betrayed by Yuan Shikai once. But the Westernists also have this consideration, and the most powerful army near Beijing is still the Beiyang Army left by Yuan Shikai, but it is only commanded by Yang Shixiang.
The two sides quarreled fiercely for more than half a month, with the army as the core, and finally the Westernists won.
As a result of the struggle, the Northeast Volunteers were abolished and the Beiyang Army was stationed in the Northeast.
The new army of the four towns of Beiyang, the first and second towns, had already been transferred to Beijing by Zaifeng from Yuan Shikai, and were led by Tie Liang and Liang Bi respectively; The third town was led by Duan Zhigui, and he was appointed as the governor of Heilongjiang, and the third town under his personal leadership, and the fourth town of Duan Qirui was stationed in Harbin; Wu Changchun, the fifth town, was the governor of Jilin and led his troops to be stationed in Jilin; The sixth town was led by Wang Shizhen, stationed in Fengtian, and nominally under the control of Yang Chao, the governor of Fengtian.
After the Beiyang Army left the customs and entered the Northeast, the Shandong New Army, which was originally organized and trained by Zhou Fu and commanded by Feng Guozhang, a general under Yuan Shikai, was transferred to Zhili and became the Zhili New Army.
Such an outcome can be said to be the product of the struggle and compromise between the two sides, and it can be accepted by both sides. For Beiyang, it avoided letting the Kangliang Group transfer the Northeast Volunteers into the customs and threatening their forces. For the Kangliang Group, the Beiyang Army was stationed in the northeast, which kept them away from the shadow of Yuan Shikai, and their psychological safety was much higher.
The only change is that the Beiyang forces that Yuan Shikai painstakingly managed were dispersed to the vast land in the northeast, and I don't know if Yuan Shikai was sold by Yang Shixiang, or a new opportunity for Yuan Shikai.
The other variable is Yang Chao, at this time the problem is clear, Yang Chao cannot get a high position, Kangliang Group cannot be with Yang Chao, and the Westernists are just trying to win over Yang Chao, but Yang Chao is wandering between the two factions, no one can be offended, and no one is close.
With Yang Chao's current momentum, these two sides can't get around Yang Chao, just a Fengtian governor, not to mention those officials who are optimistic about Yang Chao, no one in the world agrees, and a voice has appeared in the newspaper, saying that the Qing court can't even reuse a figure like Yang Chao, obviously mediocre, this may just be a reproach from the opposition, but it really makes the court very embarrassed.
So, Brother Chao came to Shandong for the second time.
Brother Chao inquired about Yang Chao's thoughts in detail.
Yang Chao's idea is very simple, there are two things: first, to develop modern industry through the introduction of foreign capital; Second, it is planned to build a national railway network in the form of large-scale borrowing.
Brother Chao expressed concern about Yang Chao's approach, feeling that Yang Chao was too radical, and he did not object to borrowing, but the large-scale introduction of foreign capital made him very worried. For example, Japan strictly restricts the entry of foreign investment, and Japan is now very strong, so this example is very convincing.
Of course, the Japanese approach is very prudent, but this is not the reason for their successful industrialization, the reason for their success lies in their down-to-earth approach, not in whether or not they attract foreign capital; It is true that the Japanese are very resistant to foreign investment, and this has been the case for generations to come. Yang Chao actually agrees with the Japanese approach, if Yang Chao has 30 years of operation, he will not introduce foreign capital, but by hiring foreign technicians, purchasing foreign machinery and equipment, he slowly accumulates and develops slowly.
But Yang Chao didn't, there are less than ten years left before the First World War, that is, a round of industrial expansion, the scale of this round of industrial expansion, determines what kind of status China can gain in World War I, and now it is poor and white, asking for money and no money, and people and no people, slowly accumulating? The daylilies are cold!
And Yang Chao's plan is still very insidious, his plan is to introduce German capital, and then confiscate German assets in World War I, Duan Qirui's Beiyang government did this back then, Yang Chao feels that he has no reason to be weaker than Duan Qirui, and he is more qualified to confiscate German assets, so the more German capital is introduced, the greater the wealth in the future.
But Yang Chao really has no way to convince Brother Chao, it is impossible to tell Brother Chao that ten years later, the foreigners will be a pot of porridge, and I can still confiscate the assets of the enemy country to make a fortune, and there is no way to come up with an example of attracting foreign capital to introduce technology in later generations.
Therefore, it was difficult for Brother Chao to identify with Yang Chao for a while.
