157 Rebuilding Confidence, Nikolai's New Toy (Part I)
Although it was not grand, there was no doubt that it was a high-value engagement wedding, and the total number of gifts received was more than $500,000, which surprised Situ Nan a little. In his previous life, it was the first time he had received such a heavy gift
"So much, I knew that this was the time for a big deal, please have more people, can you receive more gifts soon? But fortunately, the next time you get married, you must have a grand ceremony, and Lao Tzu will never give up if you don't buy 10 million gift money," Situ Nan muttered, without the consciousness of a billionaire at all.
"Say what?" Laura glanced at Situ Nan, a little resentful that this guy associated a romantic engagement with money.
"Isn't that stressful? If you want to support a delicate woman like us Laura, you can't do it without a certain amount of net worth," Situ Nan said with a smile.
"Money fan" Laura sneered, in fact, she is quite easy to support, not very luxurious, but in some ways she is very willing to spend money.
Enduring the slight discomfort in her body, she got up and opened the curtains, and the sunlight filled the room at once.
This is on board the William. Laura stood at the window, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, relaxed and happy. A thin pajama casually wrapped around her good figure.
The wind was a little strong, and Laura's upper body was lifted to reveal her bulging white breasts, she hurriedly tightened her clothes with her hands, but the "annoying spring breeze" lifted the light pajamas from below, and a pair of slender and delicate thighs were in full view.
It was not only Laura's skirt that was stirred by the wind, but also Situ Nan's heart. He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the delicate curves of the beauty bathed in the early morning sun, and from time to time the scene of last night's romance came to his mind, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly.
A treasure ship, carrying a beautiful woman on it, and then traveling around the world, such a life seems to be good Situ Nan thought to himself and felt satisfied.
"It's really a good weather today, dear, the company has a sea trial later, are you interested in taking a look?". Under Laura's service, Situ Nan sat neatly dressed in the dining room.
"About what?" Laura asked.
"Water Ray Nikolai? Tesla's real yàn, who used mines to sink a German submarine. Situ Nan replied. Originally, Laura should not have been involved in this matter, but after the engagement, Situ Nan's mentality changed a little, and he felt that the two were one and could take the initiative to let Laura "show his face".
"What's there to see, I'm not going. I made an appointment with Eleanor, and she introduced me to a professor. Laura frowned, uncomfortable every time she heard about the shipwreck.
"Oh, that's a pity." Situ Nan then patted his head and said with a smile, "I almost forgot, our Ms. Laura is now the chairman of the founding committee of William University." We must choose a good principal for our school."
Situ Nan walked to the windowsill, hugged Laura in his arms from behind, gently pressed his face to Laura's ear, and said softly: "Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming." It would be nice if you did this for the rest of your life."
La didn't speak, quietly looking at the sea, facing the sea breeze, and felt a little intoxicated. It feels like something is being pushed against it behind it, and there are some signs of imminent movement, well, the man is angry in the morning.
Although she was a little infatuated with the feeling of being surrounded by warmth, Laura no longer had the courage to serve the brute bull Situ Nan, so she pushed him away.
"Aren't you going out? It's almost late now," Laura said, taking Situ Nan's clothes out of them.
"It seems to have been recognized" Situ Nan looked at the tent below and smiled, is this called eating marrow or being insatiable?
After breakfast, when Situ Nan, who was neatly dressed, passed by Laura's side, he smiled mysteriously, "I'll let you go for the time being, and I'll come back in the evening to let you try a new posture haha"
Situ Nan walked quickly off the William, and next to the William was a speedboat that the Bethlehem Company had prepared earlier, carrying Situ Nan to the shipbuilding base of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Company in New York, leaving Laura, who was flushed.
* The night is bitter and the day is short, and the king does not rise early. This sentence is half appropriate for Situ Nan, because he is late.
When Situ Nan came to the Bethlehem Shipyard in New York, a tall and thin man was proudly introducing a large circular iron ball with several tentacles beside him: "This is the mine WR No. 1 developed by the William Roosevelt Institute and the Bethlehem Company, with a diameter of 450 millimeters, a total weight of 180 kilograms, 140 kilograms of explosives, and an anchor depth of up to 30 meters. Completely mechanically triggered, the warship will detonate the explosives inside as soon as it touches the tentacles of the mine.
This is specially designed to deal with German submarines mines, can be distributed on the periphery of submarine bases or submarine infested routes, these mines will form a blockade film in the water, can effectively hit and block passing submarines. At the same time, it can also be used as a drifting mine, and ships are arranged in the blockade of the port. ”
For the sake of this reality, for the sake of a comeback, Nikolai? Tesla has been busy for more than a month, and he has not rested much, and when Situ Nan saw him again, there was still a faint dark circle on his face.
Fortunately, he was full of energy, and although he was a little thin, his spirit was excited, and he talked about his invention to everyone, and he didn't feel tired at all.
Today's reality is important to both Nikolai and the Navy, and the Admiralty's real power, Deputy Secretary Roosevelt, also came.
If the company succeeds, it will be a powerful persuasion to the Navy to purchase a large number of mines, so that not only the company will gain economic benefits, but also Nikolai? Tesla itself will make a comeback, not only to pay off a lot of debt, but also to rebuild Nikolai? Tesla's confidence and prestige.
Roosevelt remained silent, he knew the situation of the WR No. 1 mine, which was originally created by the Mine Research Institute cooperated by the Roosevelt family and Situ Nan. To Roosevelt's surprise, he didn't expect Nikolai so soon? Tesla made a sample, and today it can be tested at sea.
However, it was good that the plan proposed by himself to blockade the German submarines with mines could be realized.
Now is the time when German submarines are at their most frenzied, even if the British and American navies have established an escort system, and a large number of destroyers have been sent to the Atlantic to escort them, and they are chasing German submarines all over the world.
However, the ruthless Germans still went out in a big way, frequently attacking passing ships, causing the loss of hundreds of thousands of tons of merchant ships in a month. Is this worth it? Not to mention being sunk by the British, who already had more than one million tons of merchant ships, even the Americans, who had a developed shipbuilding industry, could not afford to lose hundreds of thousands of tons of merchant ships a month
Roosevelt, who was the undersecretary of the Navy, had to face tremendous pressure. So he has high expectations for today's reality.
Seeing Situ Nan coming in, Roosevelt nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Let's see the real effect, I hope there is good news." ”
So at the arrangement of the Bethlehem Company, the group was transferred to an observation ship. Moments later, the observation ship anchored in a remote part of the sea outside New York Harbor.
The small area of water in front of it has been marked with buoys, and the sea below is covered with the first batch of 50 WR No. 1 mines that have been put into operation.
"Are you sure?". Situ Nan walked to Nikolai? Tesla asked in a whisper. He had seen the real yàn of mortars, and he had also experienced the real yàn of destroyers and even battleships, but it was the first time he had seen the real yàn of a mine, so he was somewhat curious.
The sea water is flowing, and the mines will also drift with the waves, and in the huge sea area, who knows if the mines can wait for the rabbit to blow up the submarine?
"Coming" Nikolai? Tesla pointed to a stick that looked like an antenna on the surface of the sea and said excitedly: "See, that's the radio remote control technology I invented, and I used it on submarines." Later, a small area of sea will be passed through the radio controlled submarine. ”
There was also a red cloth tied to the top of the antenna erected from the sea, which was probably used to mark it, so Situ Nan could see at a glance that the red was moving slowly on the sea.
"What? That antenna was poked out of the submarine? What about the people inside? If it really blows up, what will happen to the people inside? Situ Nan exclaimed, Mom, this guy is completely in accordance with the actual situation.
Before Nikolai? Tesla has already introduced it, so the people who accompanied the tour were very calm, except for Situ Nan, who called someone to be late? And asked an almost idiotic question. Everyone couldn't help laughing, but everyone pretended not to hear, looked ahead, and no one looked back at Situ Nan.
"Hmm. I bought a eliminated old Holland submarine, but there was no one in it, the route had already been set, and I used the radio-controlled submarine to get through the guò minefield, and it would explode when the time came. Look."
Nikolai? Tesla secretly glanced at Situ Nan and found that the other party did not ask about buying a submarine, you must know that even the old-fashioned Holland submarine is not cheap, and with a total of $100,000 in research funds from the William Roosevelt Mine Institute, such a real thing is really extravagant. Therefore, we must succeed, not fail.
"Oh yes?" After Situ Nan finished speaking, he continued to look at the sea not far away, as for Nikolai, who has great powers? How Tesla did this is not his concern.
"Why don't you blow it up?" Looking at the antenna on the surface of the ocean slowly passing through the marked sea area for a short distance, as if there was no intention of exploding at all, Situ Nan muttered to himself.
"Failed, this mine is not very reliable," some of them sighed quietly. Franklin? Roosevelt's face remained calm, but he inadvertently frowned. Situ Nan didn't care, anyway, he didn't expect to succeed at one time.
"Could it be that there are too few mines? Maybe a larger density should be arranged. "Stuart South and the general Tony of the Bethlehem Armament Company? Morey discussed quietly.
"Well, that's how it should be. If we go back and produce 500 more, I don't believe that a small sea area with so many mines will not sink that slacker submarine. "Tony? Morey hurriedly chimed in. He had been a vice president of California Iron and Steel and had been transferred to the East, where he was responsible for the production of weapons at Bethlehem.
He could see everyone's expressions, but Nikolai? Tesla didn't move, still staring at the sea in front of him, clenching his fists, he couldn't give up yet. But wait, wait, wait, I just didn't hear the sound of an explosion coming out in the distance.
That antenna has completely penetrated the test waters, and that touch of red is still floating on the sea, falling on Nikolai? How glaring Tesla's eyes looked. His face twitched, and his eyes darkened considerably.
