The largest room on the cruise ship, in the general cruise ship, this is often used as a bar or dance hall storage, often a few days or even more than half a month of the voyage, here will become the favorite place for most people, there are up to tens or even hundreds of dollars of high-end red wine, there are also cheap, only a few corners of ale, in short, you can think of consumption, can be carried out here. "Top" point "small" said, www.

The bar is still the same, but on the whole ship, there are not so many people, except for the assistants brought by Yang Yuanzhao, there are only those designers, full of calculations, there are only more than 100 people, plus the crew, it is only a few hundred people, almost 300 square meters of the bar can't use so much at all, when Yang Yuanzhao asked people to separate him, it was also very easy, the largest dance venue was separated by two-thirds, almost 90 square meters.

Tables, drawings, some necessary things, of course, the most important things are indispensable to the computer, even if it is just a very simple function calculator in later generations, but it can calculate most of the mathematical formulas, the accuracy is first-class and saves a lot of time, of course, like the previous railway bureau, covered with a peripheral cover, and even in front of him, there are two Yang Yuanzhao's full-time bodyguards in charge of guarding.

This is the design area that Yang Yuanzhao has prepared for many designers, a battleship, the previous design is only the most basic, there are some basic numbers, and the design theory will also be referenced, but this is not the final drawing.

A battleship, even the most ordinary battleship, is an incomparably large project, representing the greatest creation of human conquest of nature, a powerful weapon. Massive, weighing more than 10,000 tons. One system after another, from design to final molding. Many modifications are required, the most important of which is to change from design drawings to industrial construction drawings, which are not seen in the hands of designers, but in every part and every worker.

The level of the workers was not high, even the German workers, who were responsible for the construction of battleships. They will not understand what the steps of the construction under their command have on the battleship as a whole, and whether it will affect the overall situation, but they are the builders of the battleship, and it is the drawings one by one, the drawings down to each part, and the drawings that perfectly control the whole process of construction, that really determine the construction progress of the battleship.

Yang Yuanzhao after a brief understanding of the construction process of the battleship. Almost immediately, the decision was made, and the next, more than a month of the voyage. He needed these designers to help them complete the process of converting the renderings of the battleship into construction drawings and to direct them by telegram. Let Qingdao better prepare.

Battleships are a huge system project, even Britain, which has the strongest ship-building capacity in the world. From the design drawings to the implementation of the ship. The time required is not short, the shipyard in Qingdao is not not afraid, the early things have been sent over, and the designers who went from Germany will lay the best foundation for the dock, the only thing that needs him to adjust is to change the original way of preparing the construction of the dock from small to large, from large to small, wasting a little time as a whole, but it will use the shortest time to let the 50,000-ton dock be placed in front of everyone, and Yang Yuanzhao will not doubt the construction ability of the workers in the northwest.

Sitting quietly in front of the big table, Yang Yuanzhao's eyes were calm, there was movement outside the door, the first to come in was Harvey, the relationship between the previous joint design of the power system, Harvey and Yang Yuanzhao were more familiar, seeing the furnishings in the room, he was stunned for a moment, especially the full set of drawing tools and drawings, he grew his mouth, and said with a tone of disbelief: "Yang ...... Mr. Yang, you're not really going to build that ship, are you? ”

"Why not? Harvey, don't you think it's a good ship? ”

"That's right, it's a good ship, if it can be born into this world, I'm afraid that the battleships in service and under construction are all outdated, and no battleship's guns can break the 24-inch average armor, but it is impossible for him to appear!"

"Why? Didn't we solve the powertrain? ”

"But?" Harvey didn't know what to say, this feeling was very strange, obviously very sure, this ship would never be able to be manufactured, but he couldn't refute Yang Yuanzhao's words, the previous power unit, in terms of overall horsepower, was a little incredible, beyond everyone's imagination, but alone to each project, there is a strong rationality, the combination of boiler and power is perfect, especially in the drawings, Yang Yuanzhao is a master in terms of power, at least Harvey is extremely admired, and it feels better than his brother, For power, the integration of the entire system is strong, but he really doesn't know about building ships, in this case, his power system is really likely to succeed.

"When you go to Qingdao, you can see oil-fired boilers and steam turbines!" Yang Yuanzhao didn't explain much, and said directly.

"That weight and volume oil-fired boiler, can it really be solved?" Harvey really understood Yang Yuanzhao's thoughts, it is obvious that Yang Yuanzhao is sure to complete this industrialization conversion, a warship with a price of 25 million US dollars, or even higher, or even not necessarily one, is generally more than 2, involving half a billion, or even 100 million US dollars, no one will make a decision casually and lightly.

"By the way, there is a miniature version of the boiler model, you can take a look, although it is a miniature version, it is still a model, but the whole is still according to the real boiler, and it can also be burned to produce kinetic energy!" Yang Yuanzhao pointed to the side, he spent two hours to produce a reduced version of the boiler, the volume of the boiler, compared with the original boiler is four-fifths smaller, and the kinetic energy has also been reduced a lot.

Harvey followed Yang Yuanzhao's gaze and looked at it, and was attracted by this boiler at first sight, it didn't look big, at most it was more than 10 cubic boilers, it looked huge, especially in the room, carefully inspect every part of the boiler, especially the material that touched the boiler, even if the boiler was not running, he believed it, Northwest really has this boiler, otherwise it would be impossible to do it so finely.

"Okay, as long as it's according to this number, I'll do a good job of industrial drawings!" Harvey nodded and said, among the three major systems of battleships, the power system is the most important, but it is the simplest, as long as the volume of the boiler is enough, in the power compartment, put this boiler in the right position, you can solve the problem, unlike the overall battleship design, in many cases, the overall balance needs to be considered, he has transformed a part before, and now it just needs to be done more finely, and the order is reasonable.

"Oh my God, what are you going to do, you don't really want to start the battleship project, do you?" The second Linus who walked into here was also incredible, admittedly, the previous drawings gave him a lot of ideas, and he had a lot of ideas for the next 14-inch gun, based on the 13.5-inch gun material, and made some basic improvements, barely able to complete the 42-caliber 14-inch gun, which can also be used on the next level of battleships, but he was called here, and when he saw this battle, he knew very well that this was the real thing.

At this time, Harvey was already drawing drawings carefully, and Linus had no choice but to walk towards Yang Yuanzhao and try to persuade him: "Mr. Yang, maybe you don't realize what you are doing, do you know the cost of such a huge ship?" ”

"Didn't you do a simple calculation yesterday, maybe more than £2.8 million?"

Watching Yang Yuanzhao casually spit out such a number, 2.8 million pounds, in this era when the pound has not depreciated, and one pound is equal to 5 dollars, 14 million US dollars, it was said by Yang Yuanzhao so easily, converted into marks, almost 64 million marks, which does not take into account the cost of researching these powers, naval guns, and armor steel.

Of course, Yang Yuanzhao will not sue him, 2.8 million pounds, but the Germans' algorithm, with the current cost of the capital ship between Britain and Germany, this is definitely extremely high, Orion 1.7 million pounds, Nassau-class 1.9 million, which is almost 1.5 times as much as theirs.

However, the cost of the Northwest is not so much, the drawings and R&D costs will not be converted into shipbuilding, they are all copied by Yang Yuanzhao, and the material research will not, because the research of materials in the Northwest is much easier, as for the power, it will not be, and China will become the world's factory in the future, that is, cheap processing capacity, this time and space of Northwest China, even more so, according to the current Northwest Yuan, measuring the previous calculation method, he can control the price between 18 million and 20 million, That's 1.8 million to 2 million pounds, which is a quarter less than the previous German calculation.

These Yang Yuanzhao will not tell them, the concept is different, so that it is difficult for them to understand, why the northwest has such a strong manufacturing capacity and such a low cost, productivity and overall engineering, will compress most of the costs, welding and new technology brought about by the change, greatly accelerate the production of ships, which fundamentally reduce costs, just like the current Germany and Britain, many warships of the same level, Germany is not Britain's opponent at all, but the cost is higher than Britain, This is the difference between proficiency and productivity.

Linus opened his throat and shouted, "Does China have so much money?" ”

"You can remove it, don't you know the prerequisites for you to come and help the Northwest." Yang Yuanzhao's face changed, and he glanced at Linus coldly, Linus was cold, and then he thought that Yang Yuanzhao in front of him was not an ordinary rich man, he just sprinkled 600 million in Germany, and 1.5 billion in the whole of Europe, just this amount of money is enough to build 60 fantasy-class warships, maybe in the eyes of rich people, money is really nothing, you can spend whatever you want to build warships, and build a dozen.
