For Wang Shuhui, if it is more difficult to make things by means of industrialization than by means of handicrafts, industrialization becomes meaningless. [No pop-ups]

Starting from a single weapon, in ancient times, it was impossible to produce a bow and an arrow and train an archer without a few years or even more than ten years. In modern times, it takes only a few minutes to produce a Kalashnikov rifle (AK47) on an assembly line, and a bullet to produce in a few seconds, while a black African child of five or six years old can easily use it.

Wang Shuhui believes that the process of industrialization is a process of simplifying complex things. As the ideology of industrial civilization, capitalism simply constructs society into a simple structure of the opposing bourgeoisie and the proletariat, and socialized large-scale production simplifies the complex and comprehensive production process into a single and unified production link.

Therefore, more than 10,000 literate workers and more than 100 technicians who have received primary education, with the help of advanced imaging education and training methods, after five years of training, mass production of early modern ship products, such a thing seems incredible to many people, but in Wang Shuhui's view, it is completely normal.

The development of science and technology and the progress of industrial technology are actually reflected in shipbuilding. In the early seventeenth century, ships were built all over the world for a very long time, and one of the simplest reasons for this was the requirement of materials.

For ships produced by conventional means, the timber needs several years of natural shading. The requirements for keels used in shipbuilding are very high. The keel of the ship not only has clear requirements for the texture and type of wood, but also directly determines the strength and size of the ship. Tens of meters and hundreds of meters of qualified wood, where is so easy to find.

However, with the means of industrialization, these problems have almost been solved. With advanced wood drying technology, it is possible to achieve rapid drying of ship timber. The use of an iron-ribbed wood shell structure instead of an all-wood structure breaks the keel's limitation on high-quality wood. In this way, the speed of shipbuilding has been increased across the board, and the tonnage of the ship is no longer limited by materials.

Of course, this does not mean that with advanced technology and equipment, industrial production can be achieved. The human factor still plays a decisive role here.

For the Baath Party, tens of thousands of workers and hundreds of technicians who have completed literacy education are still unable to complete the task of building ships. However, Wang Shuhui relied on the help of modern think tanks and adopted an assembly line model in the first shipyard of the Baath Party. In other words, it is not easy for more than 10,000 people to fully master the construction of a ship in the early modern period, but it is not difficult for more than 10,000 people to master a part of the production of an entire ship.

In this way, with the help of modern think tanks, Wang Shuhui first broke down the work of producing an early modern steamship into dozens of links. Then, he arranged for different people to specialize in learning and carrying out the production knowledge and practice of this link.

Simplifying complex problems is what industrialization is all about. To complicate a simple problem, it's not industrialization.

Of course, even with this kind of assembly-line segmented manufacturing, it is not an easy process to produce a flying shear steam and sail hybrid ship that is more than two hundred years ahead of time and space.

Beginning in 1621, the First Shipyard of the Baath Party successively experimentally produced more than a dozen experimental ships. From an experimental ship of one hundred tons reduced in equal proportions to an experimental ship reduced to eight hundred tons in equal proportions. The First Shipyard of the Baath Party produced and manufactured more than a dozen ships of different tonnages but of the same type from small to large in the form of ship models.

Now, these ships have become the main ships of the Yangtze River Fleet of the Fuxing Army or the training ships of the Naval School of the Fuxing Army.

In the past eight years, under the planning and design of a professional think tank in modern society, under the education and training in the use of advanced means such as films, under the guidance of the concept of sectional construction of assembly lines ahead of the times, and with the accumulation of more than a dozen or twenty experimental productions using a large number of equipment and materials, at the beginning of 1627, the First Shipyard of the Baath Party finally completed the construction of four 1,000-ton Terminator combat and troop carriers and one 1,200-ton cruiser.

The completion of the construction of these five steamships not only means that the Baath Party has the ability to transport troops to the ocean and fight at sea from now on, but also means that the shipbuilding level of the Baath Party is finally close to that of the Baath Party's own modern industrial production capacity.

Wang Shuhui's attitude towards the great achievements of the First Shipyard of the Baath Party was not as elated as he was in his speech at the celebration party.

For him, the process of producing these steamships was certainly bumpy, but in this regard, the great progress of the Baath Party's mechanical processing industry was the most basic thing.

The construction of these ships would not have been possible without the large (as opposed to ancient and modern) forging equipment produced by machine shops, and without the large number of steel keels produced using these machines.

The four guns in the front two and the two in the rear on the cruiser 101, and the 120mm Krupp breech cannons in the two rotating semi-enclosed steel turrets on the four Terminators, were produced at the Baathist's own machine shop.

In Wang Shuhui's view, after the Baath Party's level of steel manufacturing and machining has developed to this stage, it is completely normal to produce ships with iron ribbed wooden hulls and iron ribbed iron hulls of any modern level.

As far as he was concerned, the level of steel production, the level of machining, the management system, and so on, which were completely behind the Fujian Shipbuilding Bureau of the Baath Party, could produce the Pingyuan cruiser with a full load displacement of more than 2,600 tons with an all-steel and armor structure. Then there is no reason for the Baath Party to not even produce a backward, iron-ribbed wood-hulled structure that is much smaller than the tonnage and weapons level of the Wannian Qing and Yang Yong.

Therefore, these ships were produced at the First Shipyard of the Ba'ath Party, and although Wang Shuhui was also relatively happy, he did not regard this kind of thing as a groundbreaking event like those Baath Party members and cadres from indigenous origins and ordinary people.

He clearly knew that if the industrial production capacity of the Baath Party had reached the original design level of all the machinery and equipment used by the Ba'ath Party today, and if the workers and technicians of the Ba'ath Party had been able to fully digest the professional knowledge they had learned at the level of secondary schools in the 20th century, not to mention these backward ships that were not big and had a bit of a child's play, even behemoths like Dingyuan and Zhenyuan in those years could not be produced and built.

It's just that for the current time and space, warships at the level of Dingyuan and Zhenyuan are a serious waste for the whole world.

In fact, these are the five ships that are very backward in Wang Shuhui's eyes, and in this time and space, they all have the ability to destroy the country and destroy the country.

Imagine a 1,200-ton, iron-ribbed wood-hulled cruiser with four 120mm rear-loading Krupp guns and eight 75mm naval and army dual-purpose Krupp guns, using a Chinese hard-sail and steam hybrid, twelve-knot cruiser providing fire support.

The four 1,000-ton, iron-ribbed wooden hulls, equipped with two 120mm caliber rear-loading Krupp guns and six 75mm naval and army dual-purpose Krupp guns, using Chinese hard-sail and steam-powered twelve-knot ships, can provide fire support and carry 500 soldiers with Murata rifles, Gatling guns, grenades, Grusen 58mm guns and Krupp 75mm guns.

After plowing the coast with large-caliber (relative to this space) shells filled with TNT, and landing 2,000 soldiers of modern armed level on four ships, as long as the logistics supply of this force can be guaranteed, then this force can theoretically destroy any country in the world
