Chapter 53: The Steam Gunboat (Part II)
Yang Hao couldn't cry or laugh: "But what I want is a fishing boat!" It's okay to have a dozen knots at full speed, do you want to run that fast? ā
Liu Dong rolled his eyes: "Stupid, right?" You can't go anywhere except for using a steam fishing boat as a prop, what a waste to spend millions! This master has thought about it for you, making it look like a steam torpedo boat, and you can make a cameo appearance in a classical naval battle scene, such as the First Sino-Japanese War and the like. On weekdays, you can also use a diesel engine to go out and hang out, fish, and act as a temporary sightseeing steamer, and maybe you can even make up for it. If you have a relationship, you can even lend it to the Navy as a blueprint for an education base, plus a target ship! Let me tell you, there are a lot of people in our group, thinking that you can go up and experience it in person, and spend money! ā
Yang Hao wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said in his heart: Sure enough, you can't underestimate the people of the world, you are much smarter! Among the novelty businesses of the props company that he and Yang Haixin pondered, leasing out steamboats is one of them!
Now that the economy is developed, there are not a few military enthusiasts who have money and leisure. Most of those who like advanced weapons can only pay lip service, but those who are old-school are very nostalgic for the classic guys who are riveting and steaming. It's just that in China, they can't find real objects that can be experienced at all, and those who are put to see can only be visited, and retired warships can only go up for a walk.
The idea that Yang Hao came up with is to project to the second plane to enrich his own sea power on the basis of creating props, and to carry out the experience and entertainment business for this group of people!
Of course, the main body of his plan did not include such a small gadget as 200 tons before, which could hold more than a dozen people, a few small cannons and heavy machine guns, which was not enough to play. At least a large ship of several thousand tons, that is refreshing enough!
But now it seems that he still thinks too high about the bottom line that hard-pressed military fans can accept.
Seeing that Yang Hao did not raise objections, Liu Dong's excitement became more and more excited: "With strong power and a hull with extremely high seaworthiness, we can design a 76mm single-barreled gun in the bow!" This is similar to the Qing Dynasty's 'Golden Ou' ironclad mosquito ship! You can use it with a slight change when filming! Look, how thoughtful I was! ā
ā¦ā¦ It's quite thoughtful. Yang Hao thought about it, since he made it, then use it, anyway, he has already ordered a 142 sable torpedo boat, plus a batch of these things, but he can form an offshore fast attack fleet. I just don't know if my father, who has been thinking about commanding a large destroyer, will be angry when he sees this thing.
Yang Hao replied: "Okay, then follow this plan." But since you have thought it through so thoroughly, you have even helped solve the design of the naval gun. Get at least two. A primitive breech gun, you must have a specific caliber style. The other is a modern rapid-fire gun, at least a 76mm Otto gun from World War II. What I have to ask is that in our shipyard, the real guy who can completely rebuild it with the existing equipment and can still start is not a good thing! ā
Liu Fatzi's reaction was too fast, and a huge question mark was patted over: "You want to build naval guns in the shipyard?!" ā
Yang Hao didn't hide it anymore, and replied: "Yes! Since we want to engage in antique ships, we will get a full set of them, and I will reveal to you in advance that we are going to transform a piece of the factory facilities of the former Jiangnan Machinery Bureau and Shipyard. However, it is not a complete set of industrial equipment that can be used for smelting, steel rolling, shipbuilding, cannon making, boiler building and steam engine! ā
In the data room of Jiangnan Heavy Industry Design Institute, thousands of miles away, there was a loud bang, and the big fat man Liu Dong jumped up one meter high, waved his fist in the air, and shouted: "I cĒo!" It's awesome! Brother Haozi, Uncle Haozi, you are a god! You are simply a big hero for our tens of millions of military fans! Big savior! Great benefactor! Dude, I have to give you a big gift! ā
The colleague next to him who startled him again trembled, stretched his neck to look at his screen, twisted his nose and sneered: "Copy Jiangnan Shipyard? This man's brain is broken, right? Who's idle and bored with that thing? It is simply impossible to build naval guns! Our country is not even allowed to keep the steam dog privately, why do you get a cannon, this is a rebellion! ā
Liu Dong glared angrily: "You know a fart!" Start and open, don't delay Lao Tzu's business! ā
Bang la bla bla is another piece of text that swipes the screen: "Good brother, you have hit my brother's G-spot!" Let's say it first, if you don't talk well, I don't want to give out twenty catties of fat, and I have to fly over and slap your face! Okay, I won't ask if you can get a permit. The whole set of design and production plan is all wrapped up in us! ā
Yang Hao didn't know that he had such a big reaction. For a long time, the barefoot master is the kind of calm and calm face, don't look at the big package at every turn, people have real materials!
Yang Hao discussed a design period with him, and then unfolded the next design drawing, but it was a 3,000-ton river-sea direct bulk carrier transformation completion drawing. As expected, the guy added an armed design.
On the basis of the original single 1323 kilowatt main engine, two vertical double-link double-expansion semi-single-flow steam engines were added, with a single power of 999.6 kilowatts (1360 horsepower), together with 6 tons/hour superheated evaporation boilers, all of which were designed by the old Jiangnan Shipyard and passed the test of history. Change a single-shaft single propeller to a three-shaft triple pulp.
As a result, the total power has reached 4,500 horsepower, and the original economic speed of 11 knots can exceed 20 knots in a short time, and the cruising capacity can reach more than 10,000 kilometers.
The bridge that was originally placed at the stern of the ship was demolished and moved to the middle to wrap two chimneys, which is still a fully enclosed structure. However, it has doubled in size, and together with the lower half of the cargo compartment, it has been converted into a passenger cabin, capable of carrying at least 500 passengers. The original aft cargo compartment was occupied by a power system composed of two steam engines, boilers, etc., as well as coal-fired tanks, and part of the hull was reinforced.
The main and auxiliary masts were added to the front and rear, and there were two more turrets in the bow and stern, the front was designed as a single-barreled 127mm gun, and the rear was a 76mm naval gun, and there were two 12.7mm twin heavy machine guns on both sides...... What kind of ship is this Nima forging?
Liu Fatzi replied: "You can make a cameo appearance in the free wheel of the trumpet!" Anyway, when filming, no one can see it if it is slightly transformed. Otherwise, on this boat, you will lose one trip if you run a trip, and you won't be able to row it if you don't make a multi-faceted hand, ....... ā
Well, the reality is true, whether it is coastal or ocean, it is difficult for freighters below 10,000 tons to make money, not to mention after the transformation, they can only be used as special props to make a living, but it also compounds Yang Hao's original requirements.
As for the third type, the 5,000-ton bulk carrier is really going to be transformed according to the "free wheel", the original 1765KW main engine and a rated power of 1470 kilowatts (2000 horsepower) three-expansion steam engine, the economic speed has been increased from 10 knots to 13 knots, and the maximum speed can reach 18 knots. The single chimney, the central bridge, the front and rear single-barreled turrets, machine gun emplacements, 40mm Bofors gun emplacements, and even 76mm anti-aircraft guns are all listed in detail.
Yang Hao really admired this big bull, of course he didn't know that Liu Fatzi could call on a lot of people to help with it, in short, this fierce one looks very similar to the "Freedom Wheel. Pseudo", it is true that you can fool the audience and pseudo-military fans who are not very particular about it.
Being able to do this in just a few days, Yang Hao had nothing to say and sent a big thumbs up.
Liu Fatzi said: "Dude does what he says!" Next, it's up to you! Say hello in advance when the construction of the first steam gunboat starts, I must open the light! ā
"No problem at all! If you can find more like-minded people to cheer, the more lively it will be! Let's make a big splash about this and spread it to the whole world! Let everyone know that we Chinese military fans can be real! ā
Yang Hao has always been not afraid of big things, and it would be good if Liu Fatzi could organize a tour group! It is just to do a preliminary promotion for the film and television city and the naval entertainment base to increase exposure.
After accepting the three drawings, he sent over the fourth type of ship request after discussing in the past few days: "Master Liu, let's go real this time and rebuild a real steam battleship as a signboard for the special weapons and props of our factory!" ā
What he gave was the "Zhongshan Ship" that left a great reputation and a very special status in modern history! ā
This steam gunboat, with a displacement of only more than 800 tons, has experienced the Dharma Protection Movement, Sun Wen's evasion, the Eastern Expedition to quell the turmoil, the Zhongshan Ship Incident, and even the sinking of the Anti-Japanese War since its launch.
The original hull had been salvaged and a museum had been built, but it was a dead thing that could only be seen and moved. What Yang Hao wants to build is a complete and living gunboat, and the difference in meaning between the two is not at the same level at all!
The reason why we want to get such a ship is still to take into account the multi-layered meaning. First of all, film and television props, in recent years, there have been many braided dramas, Republic of China dramas, and anti-Japanese war dramas, and there are no worries about buying and selling at all; The second is projection to the B plane, which is qualified as a training ship and a junior gunboat; Thirdly, it is to use this warship to open a new business operation model. If you get it right, you don't need Yang Hao to pay for it at all!
Liu Fatzi was stunned! A series of more than a dozen questions: "Are you playing really?" Are you sure you got it right? Make a real gunboat? Let's build each nail ourselves? Living stuff?! I'm going to go! This master is going to have a heart attack......! ā
Yang Hao poured cold water: "Calm down, a mosquito ship of less than 1,000 tons is excited like this, let's build a dreadnought in the future, do you want to have a direct heart attack and cerebral hemorrhage!" ā
"Dreadnought......." Liu Fatzi **, the whole person is not good.
