Chapter 30 Skilled Trades

The 12,000-ton liberation ship, which may have a full displacement of more than 20,000 tons after carrying cargo, really can't withstand the toss, although the armament on it gives it great destructive power, but once such a large liberation ship and the cargo (sometimes passengers) on it slip up, the loss may be unimaginable -- the opponent may have special ship-robbing skills, and the large liberation ship with many blind spots encounters the enemy, no matter how many principles, there is only one principle -- the weapon is used to delay the opponent's attack, and its own horsepower is quickly fled from the battlefield.

Their goal is to start at the source and break off the vast trade network of the Bimonthly Church almost all over the world. As for the plundering and total destruction of the Church of the Two Moons' maritime lines of communication, that is the job of the Liberation Ship that has heard the wind.

The Breaker Liberation Ship completely abandoned the function of carrying cargo - in fact, it was not so much a Liberation Ship as it was a warship, and it was a warship similar to a privateer. Based on the mature domestic high-speed coast guard ship, the Jiefang ship abandoned the helicopter hangar but added the hanger of the hard-shell high-speed inflatable boat to strengthen the function of the privateer.

In terms of speed, the power plant of the 12,000-ton Jiefang ship has reached an economic speed of 19 knots and a maximum speed of 26 knots.

As for the firepower, no matter how many sailing ships the Twin Moon Church sends to encircle and suppress it, it can only be like entering the 1-5 encounters with the invincible warship of Mongolia - its bow A gun position is a 76F type 37mm naval gun, followed by a water spray gun on the B gun position, and there are many machine guns on the side of the gun, although this firepower seems to be slightly colder than the ordinary liberation ship equipped with a 25mm anti-aircraft cannon, but the 76F is an orthodox marine naval gun equipped with a maritime stability system, With the help of firing and control radar, it is said that the mast sail will never explode the armored zone - this enhanced accuracy characteristic gives the liberator an absolute advantage in snatching enemy wooden wind ships in low sea conditions.

Normally, on the premise that the sail ropes and armaments are completely destroyed, the transport ships of the Church of the Two Moons will wave their flags and surrender - this is the advice given by the veteran sailing drivers of the Red Dragon Regiment. The sailors of the Church of the Two Moons are not fools, the sail cables have been broken, what do they rely on to keep going? Drift? That's not a dead one. Under such a premise, there may be a way out for surrender......

The research and development of the broken liberation wheel is based on this idea. We will not only sink, but also capture! As soon as the liberator leaves the port on this ocean, the people will be the people, and the Church of the Two Moons will be the people sooner or later!

According to satellite mapping and calculations, the native islands of the Bilunar Church are simply not able to sustain their inhabitants by self-sufficiency. With fishing and commerce restricted, as long as such a siege proceeds to the point where supplies to the main island of Lancas begin to be scarce, the last vestige of the Church of the Two Moons can be said to be in vain. The LST-type liberation ship, which may undertake the task of transporting vehicles in various regions in the early stage, and even the overseas landing mission, will take soldiers and combat vehicles to the main island of Lankas at this moment, disintegrating the backward forces that have been preventing the world from advancing.

"You can tell you're well prepared." Doniva put down the bound book and rubbed his slightly aching shoulders. Advisor Zhao had left the office, but the brochure answered almost all his questions about sailing. There are not only text and data descriptions, but also a large number of renderings and line drawings, design drawings, and even some photos of the Liberation ship that has been trialed - although it is clear that it is a trial voyage on the Earth's oceans.

"Establish a nautical school, set up a port authority, set up a hydrometeorological observatory in the port of Hirzi, and increase the ......intensity of observation on the high frontier," Doniva muttered bitter and incomprehensible sentences, some words that he did not understand even himself, but his heart was in a mess.

What kind of Rausch weather radar, navigation school, ocean current monitoring, he can't understand what these are and what they can do, but he at least knows that these are all money. Not to mention the "Ocean Observation Satellite", which is worth as much as gold, the amount of steel tonnage that is scheduled to be consumed in the liberation ship project is unimaginable to him.

And all this was prepared before the unification of Elta...... Tens of millions of tons of steel are still to be processed into hull components, some of which are already in Elta...... (In fact, the output of Wuhan Iron and Steel in 2015 has exceeded 300 million tons, but Doniva, or ordinary people will not have a concept) Doniva is not disgusted with the Chinese side to engage in the "Age of Discovery" before he nodded, in other words, being able to come to him for advice is already giving him enough dignity. The headache of the Emperor of the Elta Empire, who had read the brochure, was that the people of the other world had given so much, and what they wanted was definitely proportional to what they giving. So the question arises: can the nautical industry really produce so many benefits?

At the same time, the first wave of the effects of the Grand Voyage Program has also been blown to Shield City.

"Let's be honest, that fool died on his own." At an inconspicuous table in front of the only legally designated barbecue stall outside the Duncheng Shed, the carpenter Niteroy heroically bit off half of the string of beef tendons, complaining about the mentally retarded man he met during the day who was almost crushed to death by the second floor of the self-built company.

"We are dragging our families, and there are not a hundred or fifty craftsmen who want to go to Hilqi to settle down, and it will not be easy for him if he doesn't have a big house? We'll throw it all at him!" ”

Peter Tezech, a mason opposite Niteroy, knocked on the table with the bamboo skewer he had eaten in his hand with a look of regret, and slowly opened his mouth after listening to Niteroy's words: "This order is good, everyone is willing to go, but it's too late." If he was ten days and half a month earlier, what would we be struggling with? Directly change all of them to the resounding money, and go to Hilqi to have a place to settle down, how chic! ”

Iraja, the latest carpentry apprentice at the table to learn Chinese, did not wait for Peter Tezech to finish speaking, and stretched out his arm and pointed at him steadily—but his lips squirmed up and down, and he could not speak.

"Ah, ah, I remember, your approach is called 'stupid golden ruler' in Chinese! Ay? Ay? I'm not wrong, what are you laughing at? ”

Originally, the six people at the table stopped the skewers in their hands, just waiting to hear what this carpentry apprentice could say, but they never expected that his accurate description and funny voice would give everyone a butt piercing.

"If you laugh like that again, I won't learn Chinese!" Iraja's face flushed with shame and he shouted embarrassedly.

"If you don't learn, you won't learn." Niteroy chewed yuba while stimulating his former apprentice, "Anyway, if you don't learn, you will be the one who will suffer and not be able to catch up with the new atmosphere at that time." ”

On the one hand, these old craftsmen need to convey their traditional skills in words, so that archaeologists will not be clueless about the details of certain cultural relics on the earth, and they can have corresponding references. On the other hand, they have fallen behind the times on the other side of the portal, but some of them will not be willing to fall behind forever, and picking up the Chinese textbooks provided by the Chinese side is the opportunity and key for them to step into the superiority.

"If you don't follow, you won't follow." After all, Iraja is still young, and because of his circumstances, he is prone to playing tricks. His parents abandoned him in front of the Twin Moon Church in a small city in the middle of Elta, and he was not heard from until he was eight years old, when he began to run out of the orphanage in search of food, when the food balance in the Elta Empire had deteriorated, and the local powers were not very willing to fund orphanages with extremely long payback periods.

Later, he wandered westward, until he was nine years old, when he happened to meet Niteroy, who was repairing the beams of a house in the city of Shield, and became a carpenter's apprentice. Less than two years later, the war over the portal broke out.

If there is anyone who has benefited the most from the development of New Elta so far, in addition to the workers, peasants and businessmen who have thrown themselves to Mendong City, it is these former craftsmen who have changed very quickly. Not only were they largely exempted from being directly conscripted as soldiers because of their poor economic base, but also because they had a craft that could be reused - it was they who built the earliest infrastructures under the guidance of technicians in a "combination of local and foreign" methods when the transportation conditions were not enough to carry out modern civil engineering. And these projects, in turn, exposed most of them to the corners of the new way of building ahead of time - they absorbed new knowledge much faster and with much better results than ordinary labourers who knew nothing, were empty-handed and illiterate. At least they already know what cement is, and people cannot stand in the swing area of the crane boom, and the first thing they do when they enter the construction site is to wear a hard hat...... If you directly put young people who don't know anything about it into a construction site outside Mendong City, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable.

Of course, they are also trained - many of the completed projects in Mendong City are part of their hard work. They were first attracted by the high wages and benefits, and gradually became accustomed to modern life here with their families, and the sufficient safety guarantee made it easy for them to adapt to the "otherworldly" engineering and construction methods and styles. Now that the construction team of Mendong City has begun to consciously attract young people from outside to cultivate new talents, they have no choice but to expand outward, active in the cross-railway line, the transformation of the whole city of Duncheng, and even the rural transformation project.

As for the shipyard, it is no less than the top priority of the trans-rail line. The other side of the Minerva River, which echoes the city of Hilzi, will be filled with power plants, metal processing plants, staff dormitories and supporting facilities, and finally the shipyard itself, dry docks and slipways.
