Will China be given ten years to make the Chinese Navy wait for his capital ships?

Will it give ten years?

frowned, Tang Haoran knows history better than anyone else, although he believes that in the next ten years, only that old lady will not do the stupid thing of "declaring war on the eleven powers", and the war will not come to China, although the current butterfly wings have made history unrecognizable, but compared with the same period in history, the current "I Daqing" is undoubtedly more powerful, although the results of last year's "Northeast Campaign" were jaw-dropping, but it did not tear the tiger skin of "I Daqing".

On the other hand, stimulated by the results of the war, through a year of forging ahead, the current "I Daqing" not only has the most powerful fleet in Asia, but also has the most powerful modern army in Asia. Even the performance of the most uncompetitive Eight Banners New Army in the Nanyuan parade also made the foreign adults fall through the glasses, although there were shortcomings, they were still praised.

In another two years, after the delivery of the new warships ordered by the Beiyang Fleet, the scale of the Beiyang Fleet may even surpass that of the Russian Navy, of course, the premise is that the Russian Navy does not develop during these two years, but there is no problem at all in surpassing the Turkish Navy to rank fifth in the world, and even now, its tonnage is half a catty to eight taels compared with the US Navy.

In short, although the tiger skin worn by the current Great Qing Kingdom is divided into ten parts, in the eyes of Westerners, even he is not a warlord. The force value of the Great Qing Dynasty is still quite "bullish", and with this force value there, no country will challenge the Great Qing Dynasty again unless it is a last resort.

But the problem is that I can't wait ten years, more precisely. History did not give itself ten years to develop slowly, and slowly complete the accumulation of strength, although the accumulation is the foundation of Tang Haoran's plan, but it is domestic, not foreign, and the threat of Russia is like a thorn in the heart, and Tang Haoran is almost out of breath.

Compared with Russia in history, Russia will be a more formidable opponent that China will face in the future, far more powerful than Russia in the Russo-Japanese War in another time and space. As originally expected, after Russia's annexation of Japan, Japanese immigrants appeared in the Far East, but not on their own initiative, but by Russia who "invited" more than 100,000 Japanese laborers to the Far East to participate in the construction of the railway.

The war against Japan made Russia fully aware of the importance of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and even during the war, they stubbornly built the railway, and now the war is over. Far from slowing down the construction of the railway, the Russians accelerated it with the use of cheap labor, the Japanese labor.

in another time and space. Every inch east of the Trans-Siberian Railway is one minute closer to the outbreak of war, and in this time and space? The reason is the same, when the railway is completed, it may even be the day of the outbreak of war, and then it will be then. How will the Chinese Navy take on the Russian Navy, which is based in Japan?

The change in history has made the "Lushun Blockade" come to naught, which means that in this time and space, the Russian Pacific Fleet will not be able to be closed in the harbor, and the battle and the fair naval battle will determine the outcome of the war, which means that it needs a stronger navy.

Time...... Not really!

In contemplation. Tang Haoran took a deep breath of cigar cigarette, silently walked to the window, standing by the window, he stared at the back of the Governor's Mansion hidden in the shade of a lush tree "Mansion Street", the so-called Mansion Street refers to the red brick Western buildings and villas on both sides of it, most of which are official residences, this is based on the convenience of office, and it is precisely because of this that a large number of trees will be transplanted on both sides of the street and in the spacious park in the center of the street, making it a rare quiet place in Dalian.

It is precisely because of the beautiful scenery here that Tang Haoran likes to stand by the window and stare at the scenery outside the window when thinking about the problem, and sometimes he even wonders if it is because of this hobby, he will guide the designer to design this two-kilometer-long mansion street.

"But can battleships really be built in Incheon now?"

Although he knew that he didn't have much time, Tang Haoran still had some doubts in his heart, after all, the Incheon shipyard had been put into operation for less than two years, and what was a battleship? It is the technological crystallization of the industrial age, just like the aircraft carrier of later generations. Now let a factory that has been in production for less than two years and less than a year old to build battleships?

Is it possible?

You can try it too!

When this voice rose in his heart, Tang Haoran thought of the cost of the battleship again-that is nearly a million pounds, even if it is built by himself, it cannot be built without six or seven hundred thousand pounds, for Fuzhong, this is a huge expenditure, in case the water is lost, it will be millions of taels of silver.

Millions of taels!

But what if it succeeds?

Spit out a puff of smoke, watched it slowly disappear in front of him, and thought of the promotion of Germany's construction of ironclad ships to its shipbuilding industry, especially the promotion of its national honor, Tang Haoran naturally thought of a very famous slogan in later generations.

Promote the overall industrial level of the country with key projects!

As for a certain era, this is a rather loud slogan, and it is precisely in this slogan that the overall industrial level of the country has indeed been greatly improved by concentrating all scientific research forces to tackle key technological problems. Even on the other side of the ocean, in the United States, there are examples of raising the overall industrial level of the country through the "Apollo Program"?

The vivid and vivid examples of later generations stimulated Tang Haoran's mind.

If it succeeds, then in three years the battleships of China's own construction will be launched into service. At that time, China's shipbuilding level and machining level will be improved, is it just a step? Another result of the localization of warships will be that in the future war, China's shipbuilding industry will provide more warships for the fleet at a lower cost, thus laying the foundation for winning the war.

And on the other hand, the pre-dreadnought is entering the period of its peak. If China can complete the design of warship manufacturing and the absorption of related technologies through the construction of former dreadnoughts in this decade, then China's design and manufacturing capabilities and integration capabilities in armament, armor, power plant, hull and other subsystems will be fundamentally improved, thus paving the way for the dreadnought era, and may even be at the leading level, by that time......

"So what are the main difficulties we face now if we build battleships?"

Da Shuai's words after pondering for a long time. The three of them were all stunned at the same time, different from Shi Si's joy, Shi Tengge, who was also persuaded by him, was a little cautious, as for Rong Shangqian's brows furrowed slightly, although he knew the meaning of building his own ships, he preferred to buy better quality warships from the British.

"The first is weapons, and now the largest caliber guns we produce are 8-inch rapid-fire guns, and if we build battleships, we need to solve the problem of manufacturing 11-12-inch barreled guns......"

As the chief officer and chief engineer of the Ship Administration Office, Stengge naturally knows what problems should be solved, and building ships is not just a shipyard problem. After all, the warship is a system project, and it is precisely because of this that he will appear to be a little "conservative", and his conservatism is precisely based on the supply of system products, just as the cruiser he designed uses 8-inch naval guns, which is the largest caliber gun produced by the Shenyang Arsenal. But now, because of this suggestion of the Shi Division, the arsenal is needed to solve the production and manufacturing problem of 12-inch naval guns.

"If you can't build it. Consider importing from the UK or Germany! ”

Shi Si interjected at the right time, in fact, he who had participated in the construction of battleships continued to "reduce" the difficulty of building ships. All he needed was a platform, a platform to realize his dream - permission to build battleships. As for the part of the ship's armament, power and other supporting systems, in his opinion, it can be completely solved by importing, after all, the whole world is willing to sell weapons to China.

"There is no problem with importing, and if necessary, the corresponding patented technology can be introduced! After all, it's always unavoidable! ”

The experience of the engineer makes Tang Haoran very clear. The importance of the introduction of patented technology is by no means comparable to a simple "copycat", which in many cases only imitates the product, and even has certain defects, and fails to truly absorb its technology. In the introduction of patented technology. What really matters is the latter, that is, the introduction and attraction of production technology, which is the most important thing, and in this process of teaching production by engineers sent by the other party, in order to truly complete the technology absorption, as for those who sang "cottage omnipotence" in later generations, they simply do not know the real "cottage", even if it is called the monkey nation of Japan, their large-scale "cottage" is not so much a "cottage", but a large-scale introduction of patented technology, in the forty years after the end of World War II, Japan is the world's largest importer of patented technology, and it is the continuous introduction of patented technology for decades that has laid the foundation for future generations of Japanese industry.

In contrast, it is sad that many people actually think that imitation is just a simple reverse engineering, as long as the drawings are drawn, you can produce qualified products, but in the machinery industry, is the manufacturing industry really just a simple production according to the drawings?

Of course, it is not so simple, because of this, Tang Haoran will instruct the company to invest heavily in the introduction of patented technology, the introduction of foreign technical experts and skilled workers, they have their own value, perhaps the introduction of patented technology seems to cost money, but to solve a series of technical problems, saving a lot of research time, so that the company and the company's technical personnel can quickly complete the absorption of foreign technology, and on this basis to develop the technology belonging to Beiyang Company.

Now in the face of the reality that the 12-inch large-caliber naval gun cannot be produced by itself, Tang Haoran will of course take the initiative to point out this point, and the production company has taken a detour, just like Japan in another time and space, which only realized the localization of rapid-fire guns through the introduction of patented technology in 1897, and as early as four years ago, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau produced similar rapid-fire guns by purchasing artillery imitations.

But what about the end result? Twenty years later, when Japan began to design 410 mm cannons, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was still unable to produce qualified cannon steel and artillery that met industrial standards.

"There is also a power system centered on steam engines and boilers, although the Incheon shipyard has a white steam engine and boiler manufacturing workshop, but at present our technical level is a little lower, the largest power steam engine currently produced is a 5,000 horsepower triple expansion steam engine, if you want to build a battleship, you need a single at least 7,000 horsepower three expansion steam engine......"

It is also true that, despite the fact that the shipyard has conducted many tests of steam turbines and even built several test ships, the Navy still chose the more "reliable" steam engine over the more powerful one, which is new and has some problems in its use.

Even the Navy's dissatisfaction with the weak power of the Dinghai-class armored cruisers was solved by introducing steam engines and boilers from the British, but because of the relatively harsh conditions, the technology of 7,500-horsepower steam engines and coal-fired boilers has not been introduced so far.

"If I'm not mistaken, our steam engine was the most advanced technology imported from England last year, and now that the manufacturing process has been mastered, I think we can try to develop a high-power three-expansion steam engine by ourselves! It's really not good, and then consider introducing ......"

Tang Haoran proposed this path is precisely the normal path of technology absorption, the introduction of similar products as the basis for the development of new products, this is because in the introduction of similar products in the production process, the factory has fully understood the design principle of the product and the corresponding production process and other aspects of the technology, so as not to fall into the "cottage trap" of "painting a scoop with a gourd".

In the next few hours, the four people in the office were more engaged in colluding with the technical problems that need to be solved in the construction of battleships, and the reason why they need to be colluded is because the manufacturing of battleships involves the upgrading of dozens of enterprises, and it is in this collusion that Tang Haoran knows why key projects can drive the construction of the country's overall industrial level, precisely because it involves many units, and it affects the whole body, and the system of battleships requires corresponding manufacturing upgrades from armament to hull. And this is exactly what the Northeast needs now is a key project that can stimulate the industrial development of the Northeast. That's exactly what Tang Haoran needs! (To be continued.) )
