Chapter 15: It's always okay to copycat, right?

The convoy came slowly, the speed was not very fast, about 20 kilometers or so, of course, it was not that the car surname could not be good, but the road conditions here were really not good, and if you ran fast, you were afraid that the equipment would be safe, and finally you had to drive slowly, even so, it was much faster than the ox cart.

A group of villagers who followed looked at the group of cars with wide eyes, and their mouths were full of surprise.

"Teacher, what is this? How can you run without being pulled by a brute? The four hardcore students beside Wang Lin muttered.

"This is a car, you have never been far away, you have never been abroad, naturally you don't know it, there are many such cars in foreign countries, but there are not a few in our country." Wang Lin had to tell a big lie.

You know, the car in 1890 to 1920 is still in the transition period between the carriage and the automobile, 1886 is considered to be the birth of the automobile, the world's earliest internal combustion engine as the power of the four-wheeled car or Mercedes-Benz in 1894 mass production, and at present, at the end of 1890, located in China's Hainan Island has appeared in large quantities of internal combustion engine-powered large cars.

Although its power is not as good as that of a steam engine on a ship, it is absolutely invincible on land.

Wang Lin couldn't understand for a while, why did Huang Wei pull out these dozens of cars so swaggeringly? Is it just for show-off?

"Hello, Mr. Wang, my name is Shan Qijun, and I am an engineer sent by His Royal Highness the Prince to help you." A man who claimed to be Shan Qijun appeared in front of Wang Lin with a yellow toolbox in his hand and a red vest, and stretched out his right hand to introduce himself to the future etiquette.

"Hello, Yamazaki-kun, thank you very much for coming." Wang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously stretched out his right hand to shake it.

"Mr. Wang, we have a total of ten engineers here on this trip, responsible for helping you learn how to use these machines and equipment, as well as simple maintenance and other work, our work here is half a year, after half a year, we will return to our homeland, and all our wages and expenses during the factory are provided by His Royal Highness the Prince." Shan Qijun said some away words in front of everyone.

People didn't say that people wouldn't leave after they came, and they didn't say that this was someone else's stuff, ten engineers, their task was to teach you how to use these things and simple repairs, and then they would leave after half a year, and you didn't need to pay for labor when they were done. How can this sound like a conspiracy in the ears of the people?

"This official, what you said just now is true? Are you really going to leave in half a year? And don't want us to pay the wages? Tang Yubo took a step forward and asked in disbelief. He could understand Shan Qijun's words, and the pronunciation of the so-called His Royal Highness was almost the same, and the Chinese language came out of their mouths as awkward as it was.

"Of course, Mr. Wang is the best friend of His Royal Highness the Four Princes of our empire, and we are ordered to work with His Royal Highness the Four Princes, so naturally we will not accept a penny from you." Shan Qijun replied in a sure tone.

"The Four Princes?" Tang Yubo looked at Wang Lin with some confusion, it turned out that the noble man he was talking about before was the fourth prince of Yuben?

"I didn't know that he was the prince of Yuben before, and I only found out about it a month ago." Wang Lin shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

In this way, nine of the ten engineers commanded the more than 100 soldiers who came with them to unload the equipment on the car, of course, this is not manual, each car is equipped with a crane arm, although it cannot lift hundreds of tons of heavy objects, but it is more than enough to unload these bulk machinery and equipment.

Looking at the busy engineers and soldiers, the villagers on the side were even more dumbfounded, and sighed in their hearts that it was really stretched, just that piece of iron lump could lift something that looked like it weighed thousands of pounds?

Wang Lin pulled Shan Qijun and ran to the side where no one was, seeing the calm face of the other party, he looked around carefully, and then put his mind at ease.

"What's going on with you guys? What are you doing with so many cars pulled out when it's okay? Aren't you afraid of being too ostentatious and being envied? ”

"Commander, Your Excellency the Commander of the Legion has no choice but to do this, this is already the maximum hidden strength we can achieve, like this kind of car is still the product of our dismantling of a lot of equipment in the base, we dismantled four reversing radars, a long-range missile, and a supporting missile launch system and so on." Shan Qijun said with some grievances.

What the? Is this a V3 rocket modification? Damn, this Huang Wei is really fucking talented, he can figure out this method.

"Originally, we were going to modify the minecart, but in the end, due to the size of the minecart, we still didn't continue." Shan Qijun continued.

"Well, how about this equipment? Is it easy to it? Wang Lin continued to ask.

"Don't worry, Commander, I believe that under our guidance, even if an uneducated person is working, he will become a qualified worker in a month. In addition, Commander Huang asked me to tell you that three of the five submarines have been completed and are currently in the later stages of refitting, and he hopes that you can send someone to study as soon as possible. ”

Wang Lin nodded and didn't speak again, this is what he asked the base before, generally if you want to skillfully make a new product like this, you need a certain cultural foundation, not to mention anything else, at least you have to be able to read and understand the manual, right? It's just that most of the people here are illiterate, and they are so old, there are few literate adults, and all the just literate people are nested in the school.

As for the personnel of the submarine, Wang Lin has decided to hand over this task to these four students, who are responsible for finding 400 extremely loyal civilians on the whole island, it does not matter whether they are literate or not, they can eradicate illiteracy when they arrive at the base, and the important thing is loyalty, because these things must not be known to the outside world. After more than a month of emergency training, it is believed that he has a preliminary diplomatic understanding and a certain level of foreign language, although the level is not high, but he still understands simple conversations.

Fortunately, Huang Wei and the others did not disappoint Wang Lin, no matter what the effect and production capacity of the machinery and equipment are, but at least a little bit is a little bit, first send the supply of Tang Village to say anything else, after all, this is their own nest, and there is no room for mistakes.

In the subsequent chat with Shan Qijun, Wang Lin learned that in addition to the establishment of a set of large-scale arsenal equipment in the base, the development of various artillery pieces has also entered the final stage, and a set of equipment and corresponding supplies for a large-scale artillery factory can be manufactured within three months, but the bottleneck encountered in the development of armored vehicles and tanks, the biggest problem is still the problem of engine power.

In addition, the navy is also just starting, and the biggest problem is still the power problem, as for the design of warships, there is no problem at all, because they can use the shipyard to build many different warships for them to study.

But this is not a big problem, we can't develop it independently, isn't it okay to copycat? Huang Wei and others built a variety of vehicles, then unloaded the engines of these cars one by one to study, and finally looked for spare parts to assemble and debug by themselves. At present, it has also entered the final stage, and the next step is to produce the equipment for the engine production line.

In this way, the first copycat product in Chinese history was born, but no one except Wang Lin knew that it was a copycat product. In the following days, Wang Lin secretly sent four students out to collect loyal and strong young men between the ages of 18 and 23 with a high price of five taels of silver a month, while Tang Yun embarked on a ship to England in Guangzhou.

A teenager is about to leave the motherland alone and go to the British Empire, which seems to be a little ruthless in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Wang Lin and Tang Yun, it is not the case, Wang Lin has spared no effort in order to cultivate a qualified diplomatic talent as soon as possible, and Tang Yun feels that Wang Lin attaches great importance to himself, and he works hard.

Although Tang Yun is gone, what he took away is not only the belief and practice opportunities that he needs to learn, but also Wang Lin's expectant heart, this plan to recruit officers is related to the overall situation, after all, the submarine is not a warship, it does not mean that you can drive a warship, it does not mean that you will drive a submarine, Britain did not open a submarine major at this time, let alone a submarine professional talent, and the only trace of cognition is almost still in the laboratory.

Wang Lin is interested in their understanding of the navy, although their understanding is not necessarily correct, but compared with these native farmers, they know the most, in addition to these are some professional marine knowledge, it is not particularly difficult to cultivate, I believe that under the training of professional naval personnel in the Red Police Base, four years is enough time to train these naval personnel into a qualified, professional naval submarine talent who can go out to fight alone.
