On the 14th day, it has entered the tenth day since the Sea Blue ran out of fuel.

Don't look at the huge body of the Sea Blue, it is a sea giant in any area in this era, but once there is no fuel oil, it is like a pile of scrap metal, just like an aircraft carrier in a coastal province in the later generations that has dismantled the power plant and force system, and can only be placed on the seaside and transformed into a restaurant or entertainment club.

Obviously, Wang Tiehammer did not allow his ship, and the final fate would be like this, he had a dream of becoming a naval power since he was a soldier, and even if he later retired and became the captain of the Sea Blue cruise ship, he did not forget his dream. For many days and nights, he dreamed that he commanded a fleet in a naval battle with the great powers.

Now that he has crossed, the dream of the past burned in his heart again, and with the intervention of him and a group of young men who also have a sea power complex, he urged Lin Youde, the head of the industrial group, to come up with a feasible Hailan modification report.

For this reason, Lin Youde and the former shipyard engineer You Nanzhe discussed day and night, and finally came to the conclusion that if the Hailan was to be refitted, the existing diesel power unit must be replaced with a steam type, that is, it should be changed to a 19th-century coal-burning ship.

At that time, Wang Tiehammer stopped doing it when he heard it, and replaced it with coal, why don't you say that it is better to change it to a sail, just that the turtle speed can be compared with the existing Sea Blue, which has a speed of nearly 26 knots.

Hearing Wang Tiehammer's proposal, You Nanzhe's eyes lit up.

"Sails, good advice, with sails and steam powerplant, the speed of the wind should reach up to 20 knots."

"Yes, why didn't we think of this, Lao Wang, how about it, as long as you say a word, we can immediately organize workers to refit it, and at most a month can completely modify the Hailan."

Hearing this, Wang Tiehammer immediately held back, is it really to be transformed into a sail steam hybrid, the usual speed of up to 15 knots, in the downwind conditions can reach 18 or 20 knots, although this speed in the 17th century is absolutely the fastest, but in the eyes of Lao Wang this is not the same thing at all, who knows if it can reach this speed after modification.

Now the safest way is to let the industrial group get the oil out, or find a fuel that can replace the oil, which is the safest.

Wang Tiehammer said his thoughts, Lin Youde and You Nanzhe's faces were instantly sluggish, it is a complete set of processes from oil extraction to refining finished products, and he can make it with a few half-asses, as well as the fuel that can be substituted for oil, although this thing is also available in later generations, the output is extremely low.

In short, Wang Tiehammer didn't care about their difficulties, just ordered them to give full play to the spirit of hard struggle, thinking that the domestic experts made weapons back then could be made just by looking at a shape, why can't we.

Well, since Wang Tiehammer insisted on this, Lin and You, the two of them could only start researching hard, as for when they could get things out, they didn't dare to guarantee, saying that they were also responsible for the construction of other industrial machines.

The two heads of the industrial group, although they could not build the relevant machines for oil mining and smelting finished products in a short period of time, were still very good at other aspects, especially in smelting steel, and the two of them personally went to the field to find various relevant materials and made a small crucible by themselves to do experiments, and it took two days and two nights to get out the process of crucible ironmaking.

As the iron ore is mined and smelted, the progress of other relevant working groups at the Manchester base will also increase, with the agriculture and infrastructure groups benefiting the most, as the newly smelted steel will be prioritized for tooling by both teams.

In addition to these, there is also a strange old man in the industrial group, the old man is about 70 years old, surnamed Huang, named Qishui, and is said to be a professor at a certain university. The old man doesn't like to talk and doesn't like to participate in the collective meeting that crosses the inside, just when the industrial group was formed, the executive committee originally wanted to appoint him as the leader of the team and he also shirked it, usually I can't see this old man, my favorite is to run into the field with a notebook, as for what to do, no one knows. He basically belongs to the kind of person who disappears and is probably not remembered by many people.

Not long after Wang Tiehammer gave the order, the most idle and long-time old Huang in the industrial group appeared, holding a bottle of yellow liquid in his hand, his face was full of joy, and anyone could see that he had encountered something good.

"Xiaolin, Xiaoyou, come here, see what this is." Huang Qishui took the mineral water bottle and shook it towards the two.

After taking a closer look and observing the viscosity of the liquid inside and the speed of shaking, Lin Youde spoke first: "This is vegetable oil." ”

"That's right, this is oil nanmu oil, also known as vegetable diesel, as long as it is simply filtered, it can be used as diesel, in addition to these, it can also be used for lighting and food, both economic value and practical value are quite high."

Listening to Huang Qishui's explanation, Lin Youde and You Nanzhe were also excited: "This is a good thing, Lao Huang, you don't know yet." Committee member Wang just now urged our industrial group to research new alternative energy sources to solve the problem of Hailan power fuel, if we can collect this kind of oil nanmu vegetable oil on a large scale, then Hailan can run. ”

"It's not a big problem to collect oil from oil Nan, about 10 kilometers east of the base is a large area of oil nan wood, if you collect them all, at least you can let the Sea Blue run Batavia back and forth, this matter is left to me to do, you can do whatever you want."

"Okay, this matter will be handed over to Huang Lao, I am sending you a few assistants to assist in the work, by the way, Huang Lao, can I take the liberty of asking, should you be engaged in new energy research before you cross, I read a report in the news that a new energy expert from a research institute suddenly disappeared, could it be your old man."

Lin Youde asked this naturally because he recalled the photo of the expert in the news, and according to reliable information, the old expert suddenly disappeared because of anger.

"Since you asked, I won't hide it from you, I'm the missing expert in the news." Huang Qishui replied indifferently.

"What, you really are."

Lin Youde was shocked, if Huang Qishui was the missing expert, it would be a big baby, according to the classmate who gossiped about him, this old man is listed in both new energy and other research fields, and belongs to the kind of essential oil-type character, and it will be much easier to solve any problems encountered by the industrial team in the future.

Huang Lao, you should be the leader of this group, I really don't dare to give orders in front of you, what tasks do you say you want to assign in the future.

"Okay, Xiaolin, you are still the leader of the group, if I wanted to be an official, I wouldn't have disappeared and run out, if you have any tasks in the future, you can directly give orders, my old man will not rely on the old and sell the old." Huang Qishui's sincere shirk made it difficult for Lin Youde to continue.

"Well, in the future, you can always give us more guidance, you will be a treasure of our industrial group in the future, with your old age, I believe that it is not difficult to get a lot of things out."
