Jiang Mingwen was sitting in the car, and he had never felt so nervous in his heart, because at this time in the seat next to him was Qin Yu, the strongman who swept the Republic of China and defeated the old army of Tsarist Russia. Although he learned from the mouths of some other international students that Yu Shuai was the most easy-going to students, after actually sitting next to him, Jiang Mingwen couldn't suppress the waves in his heart.

"Nervous? I'm just carrying a head on two shoulders, just like a normal person. I heard that you didn't give in at all when you were fighting with American teachers at Yale University, but now you have less courage to return to China. Qin Yu smiled, wondering if it would be appropriate to do it in the future when he was close to the people, which was really embarrassing.

"Yu Shuai, the students have just returned to China and have been taken so seriously, and I am really a little flattered." Jiang Mingwen said impressively.

"It's nothing, the Republic of China can't just be a landlocked country, as long as you can design a ship that rivals the Japanese warships, don't say it's my car, even if I come to drive with you, it's not a big deal." Qin Yu waved his hand, if he could design a first-class cruiser and aircraft carrier, Qin Yu would be able to save face.

Jiang Mingwen graduated from Yale University with a Ph.D. in naval architecture. At this time, he was the person with the highest degree in ship design in the entire Republic of China, and he designed the Bull freighter with a displacement of 20,000 tons. It's just that he hasn't been in contact with it on a warship, and Qin Yu has high hopes for this returning student, and Qin Yu didn't just build a shipyard to build some ordinary freighters. Only by building a strong navy can Japan be completely beaten to death in the future. The 5,000-year-old history of China, since the Ming Dynasty, began to suffer from the great harm of the Japanese invaders, and the history of the nation at the end of the Qing Dynasty was even more humiliating, coming to this era of blood and fire. Qin Yu's desperate death will not let the tragic war of resistance in World War II befall this calamitous nation again.

The coastline of the Republic of China was too long, and no matter how strong the army was, it could not do everything and could not prevent the invasion of the coast by the Japanese Combined Fleet. Although the navy of the Republic of China at this time is almost nothing for Japan, Qin Yu believes that things are man-made, and the strength of the entire Republic of China will be concentrated in the next ten or twenty years. It's enough to create some navy to compete with the Combined Fleet. And Jiang Mingwen's ship design talents are his reliance. Although on battleships, the Republic of China may not be able to catch up with these powers in a few decades, but the future navy is about to enter the era of aircraft carriers, Japan is also on the starting line of aircraft carriers at this time, and the Republic of China has begun to lead Japan in aviation, which gives the Republic of China Navy an excellent opportunity to catch up with the Japanese Navy.

The convoy slowly drove into the Yingkou Shipyard, where the dock was full of large and small ships, and thousands of workers were busy up and down the paved keel under the command of the engineer. There are also nearly ten ships about to be launched. Among them, there is a body shape that has never been seen in the history of the Republic of China. It's just that judging from the scene, the scale of the Yingkou shipyard at this time has overshadowed the Jiangnan shipyard. It is the largest shipyard in the Republic of China.

"Yu Shuai!" Before the convoy arrived at the shipyard, Li Mingzhang, the organizer of the shipyard, greeted him from afar.

"In just a few years, the shipyard has become what it is today, and you have contributed a lot." Qin Yu couldn't help but feel excited when he saw the current scale of the shipyard, a few years ago this was just a dilapidated bund, but now the high and low floors, but the dock is like a giant beast lying on this light blue seaside.

"If there is no Yushuai's full support, where will the shipyard achieve today's fruits." Li Mingzhang said with a smile.

"I won't say much kind words. This is Jiang Mingwen, a top student who graduated from Yale University in the United States, and he has practice in the United States. I'll leave it to you, you're an old man here, and some things in the shipyard let him get in touch with more. Qin Yu confessed.

"Yu Shuai rest assured, he will definitely bring Jiang Mingwen to familiarize himself with all the affairs of the shipyard." Li Mingzhang nodded and said, being able to get Qin Yu's personal recommendation shows that Qin Yu attaches great importance to this person. However, now the entire shipyard, except for the original mechanics, as well as some designers and technicians dug from Tsarist Russia, are almost all on a wild path, and they are like Jiang Mingwen who is born in a high school. Those who have practical experience are a treasure wherever they are placed.

"Well, Jiang Mingwen, this is Sponsor Li of Yingkou Shipyard, Yingkou Shipyard can have today's scale, from scratch to build 10,000-ton ships today, but Sponsor Li has worked hard with the people below." Qin Yu introduced Li Mingzhang to Jiang Mingwen again.

"The junior students have seen Sponsor Li, and I hope that Sponsor Li can give more advice in the future." Jiang Mingwen heard Qin Yu's introduction, his face was moved, the industrial foundation of the Republic of China is weak, and the hardships of building such a large shipyard on the basis of a blank space are more than several times more difficult than that of establishing a shipyard in the United States.

"Okay, if you have anything to say later, you two will talk slowly, anyway, you will eat in the same pot, take me to see the newly launched boat." Qin Yu said with a smile, interrupting Li Mingzhang's polite words again.

"Yes, Yushuai." Li Mingzhang nodded, took Qin Yu and Jiang Mingwen to the dock.

In the distance, a huge object floated on the surface of the sea, if it was an ordinary wooden boat, it would have been floating and undulating under the action of the waves, but this steel giant was standing still on the surface of the sea, and it gave people a feeling of power when it lurked there quietly.

"This is the shipyard yesterday launched the Fubo freighter, the name is the designer of the factory, the standard displacement of 13,500 tons, 195.2 meters long, 26.3 meters wide, draft 4.3 meters, unlike the previous coal-fired boilers, Fubo uses 6 heavy oil boilers, compared with coal-fired boilers, the power design will not be obsolete in the next 20 years, the use of Meldessee reduction turbines. The maximum speed is 27 knots, the normal speed is 15.4 knots, and the cruising range is 6,700 nautical miles. Some of the parts are provided by Ye's enterprises, and the power boilers are purchased directly from the United States. Li Mingzhang has long been familiar with the number of 10,000-ton steamships launched in Yingkou Shipyard, and he doesn't feel a little stuck when he says it.

Jiang Mingwen, who came in with Qin Yu, didn't think it before, after all, he was used to seeing the shipyards in the United States, and when he heard the number of groups reported by Li Mingzhang at this time, Jiang Mingwen couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, such parameters are almost the same as the freighters built by the shipyards in the United States, and the use of heavy oil boilers is much more advanced than some shipyards, and with his understanding of ships, coal-fired boilers will be replaced by heavy oil boilers sooner or later. (To be continued......)

PS: There is something to do at work, a little more time next month, try to be two more, this month can only be like this
