Brother Chao is really trying to win over Yang Chao. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because Yang Chao is not a descendant of the Westernists, although he also has differences of opinion with their reformists, he still agrees with them on the whole.

This is not the key, the most important thing is that the reformists have nothing to use, they are a group of people who seriously lack the ability to do practical things, in China, people who understand Western science and technology, politics, economy, and culture are basically all covered by the Westernists.

Although Kangliang Group has its own people, but all of them are too shallow in terms of qualifications, they can't be supported at all, and they are forcibly supported, and the Westernists will never agree, and they can't break the rules. Inexcusable.

Therefore, they need a person with ability, prestige, and more importantly, seniority, and Yang Chao is the best choice, or their best ally, at least they think.

But let Yang Chao be an ally, it has to be able to help them, Yang Chao's large-scale introduction of foreign capital will definitely cause big movements, big controversies and big changes, but when it doesn't work well, it doesn't help them, but it will affect them.

Therefore, Brother Chao tried his best to persuade Yang Chao to give up these unrealistic ideas, and slowly innovate with him step by step, the first step was to master the army as a strong backing for the reformers.

Well, Yang Chao's biggest role is still because he made the Russians regress through military adventures, but he was mistaken for a famous general, and the reformers still did not give up their attempt to master their own military strength.

In fact, fools know that the Eight Banners New Army is a joke, a group of troops who gamble and drink money in the barracks all day long, and even women are free to enter and leave the barracks, what combat effectiveness can they have, of course, these Zaifeng will never know, because the Eight Banners nobles who led these armies will not tell him, and others dare not tell him, and if they tell Zaifeng, they will offend Zaitao, Zaixun, Zai Ze, and Zai Zhen, a big gang of Eight Banner nobles, and they will die ugly.

But Yang Chao will never accept to help the reform faction lead troops, the first is that he does not want to stand on the opposite side of the Westernists, and the second is that he really does not want to devote his energy to the military field where there is no hope now.

In Yang Chao's view, those armies outside the border are basically unreliable, needless to say, the bandit army cannot be restrained at all, and the student army must be abolished, and the only thing that can be used is those Northeast soldiers, but one by one, with a bitter hatred for the Russians, it is impossible to let these people be stationed in the Northeast without a little conflict with the Russian soldiers.

Moreover, these armies do not have the slightest appearance of Yang Chao's imagination, and the army that Yang Chao wants must be a modern army, not the modernization of equipment, but the modernization of training and spirituality, and the training is very easy to solve, but this ideological problem is really difficult to solve.

You have to have a modern national first, and then you have to have a modern national army.

Therefore, before Wu Peifu graduated from the military academy and the country produced a group of national-minded citizens, Yang Chao was reluctant to form an army.

Therefore, Yang Chao did not accept Brother Chao's idea, saying that unless he let himself come forward to engage in industry, he would never contaminate the army, and said that the governor of Fengtian himself did not want to be very much, and was willing to abdicate to make way for Xian, and then devote himself to opening a factory.

Brother Chao tried his best, but he couldn't convince Yang Chao, and he was very frustrated, he always thought that he was eloquent, how many fans he had abroad, but when he used it on Yang Chao, why was it not easy to use it.

After communicating with Kang Youwei, Brother Chao suddenly expressed to Yang Chao that he could consider repairing the railway.

The first is to build a national railway project, which Zhang Zhidong has always expressed support, and the second is Sheng Xuanhuai, who is in charge of the railway, and is an important minister of the Westernists, so if Yang Chao wants to build the railway, it will inevitably conflict with the Westernists, which is what the reformists are willing to see.

Hey, in China, all problems are political issues, and projects such as building railways for the benefit of the country and the people are also viewed by these people from a political perspective, but not only them, isn't Sheng Xuanhuai's construction of railways also for political purposes.

But Yang Chao still did not agree, building railways is only one aspect, and industrial strength is equally important.

Yang Chao is waiting now, he can afford to wait, but the reformers can't afford to wait, because the reformers have no one in their hands.

Yang Chao couldn't help but think of a line: Stretch, the longer you stretch, the more you earn.

In the case of his own benefit, he might as well be patient, even if Yang Chao himself wants to do things immediately, but he still has to be patient.

Just before Brother Chao had no fighting spirit at all and planned to leave.

Yang Chao told Brother Chao: "If the court is not at ease, it is better to engage in a pilot." ”

"What pilot?"

"First, set aside a place and allow the introduction of foreign investment. If it succeeds, it will be promoted to the whole country, and if it fails, it will not break its muscles and bones. ”

Brother Chao said that this was a solution, but he had to go back to Beijing to discuss, so he stepped on the train to the north with the last glimmer of hope, and if Emperor Kang did not agree, they could only give up Yang Chao.

As soon as the time dragged on, it was September.

Qingdao under the strong support of the German governor-general, Zeppelin's factory was built, a large steel structure workshop, up to 60 meters, but not as long as Yang Chao's airship warehouse, the length is less than 300 meters, the width is only 100 meters, the maximum production capacity is to accommodate two airships at the same time.

It is clear that the German government's desire for new technology far outweighs the need to make a profit by building airships.

After the plant was built and the equipment was basically in place, it was time to officially start construction, and Yang Chao rushed to tailor.

Yang Chao had to go, because he was the big boss of the airship factory, and Zeppelin was only the second boss, only accounting for forty percent of the shares.

The opening of the airship factory attracted reporters from all over Shanghai and Tianjin, and I have to say that in this era, Zeppelin is the big star, and as for Diesel, he is just a Cinderella, although everyone also has hope for him, but in terms of attracting attention, compared with Zeppelin, it is not a level.

After cutting the ribbon, interviews, cocktail parties, and a series of entertainments, Zeppelin took the opportunity to discuss production matters with Yang Chao.

Zeppelin has come up with a new production plan, and the structure has hardly changed, still the keel, skin and cockpit.

However, the keel from the past steel bar binding box cage keel, into the aluminum alloy skeleton keel, the past keel is all with a steel bar tied into the common kind of steel cage on the construction site, a steel cage that runs through hundreds of meters, the weight can not be heavy, now it is changed to aluminum alloy materials, but it is replaced with aluminum alloy steel bars, made into aluminum alloy cages.

Looking at the 'steel bars' made of aluminum alloy, Yang Chao couldn't help but feel pain, which was too unimaginative.

"Can't you use aluminum alloy plates, you have to make a medium steel cage structure, it seems that the lashing also adds weight."

Yang Chao couldn't help asking.

Zeppelin thought for a moment: "Maybe it will work." ”

After speaking, he hastily drew with a pen and replaced the steel cage with an aluminum alloy plate.

"This kind of aluminum skeleton is much better-looking, and the weight should be greatly reduced, maybe we can produce an airship with a load of 50 tons, or even 100 tons."

Yang Chao sighed.

Zeppelin also yearns for it, but he has a lot of science and technology: "After calculation, it can be reduced by about 30 tons, and the load can reach up to 40 tons." ”

Okay, is it necessary to care about the ten tons and eight tons, this is the engineering man.

Yang Chao immediately quietly scanned Zeppelin's new plan and told Zeppelin that he still had to calculate.

On the screen of the spaceship, an aluminum alloy "steel cage" appeared, forming the skeleton structure inside the airship.

Then simulate hydrogen and helium filling, and sure enough, as Zeppelin said, the maximum load capacity is about 40 tons.

"Can't you lower the weight? Let's do a mechanical simulation. ”

Yang Chao said to the screen, and soon the keel on the screen began to change.

With the afterburner, the keel, which was originally completely gray-white, began to change color, some places were green, some places had turned red, and finally the skeleton was broken in several red parts.

Having simulated a diesel engine many times through the spacecraft, Yang Chao knows very well that green represents safety, and red represents the stress concentration area.

In other words, the force on the entire skeleton is actually uneven, which is easy for engineering men to understand, but only after being inspired, Yang Chao can figure it out.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became a little excited: "Reduce the thickness of the green area, so that the whole skeleton is stressed consistently." ”

After Lao Jiu got the order, he immediately began to reduce the thickness of the non-load-bearing area on the keel, and after seeing that all the areas turned the same red, Yang Chao stopped the simulation.

Then look at the data of the old nine calculations, the weight is reduced by one-third, and the weight of the aluminum alloy keel is 60 tons, which is reduced by 20 tons all of a sudden, which means that the load capacity can be increased by 20 tons, which is a huge breakthrough.

Yang Chao took the new drawings to Zeppelin and told him that as long as he reduced the thickness of some unnecessary parts, he could achieve the effect of weight loss, needless to say, Zeppelin knew very well that the force was different, but he didn't think about it, and after being inspired by Yang Chao, he immediately revised it according to the data given by Yang Chao.

And Zeppelin also made new improvements, he replaced the original rough design of the aluminum alloy plate, all replaced with I-shaped pressed aluminum, so that the structural strength is greater, and it may reduce some of the weight, after such a change, it is another ten tons of weight reduction, the airship suddenly has the hope of reaching a load capacity of 70 tons, which makes him extremely excited.

I can't wait to put it into production, the only difficulty is that Yang Chao's raw material supply!

On the other hand, after Liang Qichao discussed with Kang Youwei, he agreed to consider Yang Chao's plan, that is, to set aside a place for the pilot and introduce foreign capital to develop industry, but they wanted Yang Chao to reach an agreement with the foreigners, that is, the Qing government had the right to interrupt the pilot, and Yang Chao must make a guarantee in advance that he would not interfere with this.

Kang Liang is worried that once it is out of control and the foreigners refuse to withdraw, it will lose the national power.
