Fang Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and said, "Don't even think about it, you just go back and stare at the shipbuilding for me, I will draw some drawings for you when I have time, and you can study it yourself." Fang Xiaoyu would not let such a professional accompany him, although he could draw all kinds of warship drawings, he only knew what it was, and he would definitely be exposed after a long time. Xu Shouchang on the side didn't know what Fang Xiaoyu was thinking, and still flattered: "Please also ask the teacher to teach, what else is there to change." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "How do you say the current gunners fire their guns?" Xu Shouchang said: "Of course, it is to find the target and then aim and fire." Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "That's right, there is no command between them at all, they all rely on the ability of the gunner to roughly estimate, so the impact points are scattered, and once the shelling distance exceeds three kilometers, it can only be lucky." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said as he drew one of them with a pencil circle: "If we build an observatory at this high place, let professionals use instruments here to measure the elevation angle, horizontal angle and charge amount that the artillery needs to use, and then let all the artillery rely on this data to shoot, not only do not need to rely on the gunner's visual inspection, but also can concentrate the shelling in a small area, and at the same time, the professionals can also modify and correct the trajectory at any time through the instrument, what do you say?" ”

Xu Shouchang exclaimed: "That's the enemy's nightmare, the longer the distance, the denser the rain of bullets, this will be an invincible existence." Xu Shouchang asked again: "But young master, if you are not fast enough, you will still be attacked by others, and if the other party escapes, we can't do anything." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I am working on a steam turbine that is ten times more efficient than the existing steam engine, so that even if it is a large ironclad ship of 18,000 tons, I can increase its speed by more than eighteen knots." Xu Shouchang exclaimed: "So strong." Originally, the fire-tube boiler and single-expansion steam engine that Fang Xiaoyu took out were much more advanced than the external-fired fire-tube boiler and horizontal barrel-piston steam engine commonly used in the Western Continent now, but I didn't expect Fang Xiaoyu to be more advanced.

Fang Xiaoyu took back the drawings with a smile and said: "This drawing can't be taken away by you, before the steam turbine and twin naval guns are invented, these designs can't be applied, you better build them first according to the existing conditions." ”

Seeing that Fang Xiaoyu did not allow him to take away this advanced warship drawing, Xu Shouchang was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks and said, "Master, having such a good warship doesn't make me feel uncomfortable." Fang Xiaoyu gave him a blank look and said, "I'll give you a drawing first, you study it in advance, and when the port in the goblin territory is established, you can go there and build a shipyard there, and build this kind of warship there." Remember that this is top secret, and you are not allowed to reveal it now. ”

Fang Xiaoyu walked to his bookshelf, took out a copy of the large pile of drawings and handed it to Xu Shouchang, he took the drawings and peeked at the large pile of drawings with his eyes not yet. Fang Xiaoyu smiled dumbly and said, "Don't look at it, those drawings are not all warship drawings." Xu Shouchang said: "So there are still drawings of warships?" Fang Xiaoyu nodded, and said lightly: "There are about dozens of copies." Fang Xiaoyu was just afraid that his memory would fade, so he drew down the drawings of various warships and firearms that he was familiar with in later generations and kept them one by one.

Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, Xu Shouchang swallowed hard and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not to mention dozens of drawings of the kind of advanced warship that Fang Xiaoyu said, even if it was made up of one, it would be a treasure for a warship designer like him. Seeing that Fang Xiaoyu didn't mean to let him visit at all, Xu Shouchang didn't dare to entangle.

Xu Shouchang could only take the drawings with resentment, opened them and studied them carefully, and at the same time read out the data inside: "14,000 tons of displacement, four 305 mm caliber main guns, ten 152 mm caliber secondary guns, and the addition of keels and pelvic fins to reduce roll, this design is too good." After a closer look, Xu Shouchang found that this drawing is also quite classic, using the now mature technology, this kind of warship has reached the extreme level of warships that can be built.

Of course, this drawing is good, this is Fang Xiaoyu's direct drawing of the Sovereign-class battleship, this kind of ship that he has not completed the model in his previous life is the most memorable for him, and the Sovereign-class battleship is also a classic ship type of the British in the pre-dreadnought era, and the pre-dreadnoughts after it are almost all improved on it.

Looking at Xu Shouchang with an excited face, Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but instruct: "Remember not to leak it, as soon as the shipyard in the goblin territory is completed, build me four ships." Xu Shouchang said: "I don't have to wait for their port to be built before building a shipyard, I will go there now." ”

Fang Xiaoyu glared and said, "Go and build me now, where did I get the money, the four cruisers that I built at the Luhai Shipyard last time have already spent all my money." Xu Shouchang said with a smile: "Master, you don't have to worry about this, the profits of the shipyard are very high, not to mention that Marshal Xiahou Min has paid the shipbuilding cost in full in advance, and the shipbuilding is continuously invested, and there is no need to take it all out at once." We can embezzle some of it temporarily, the money is still not a problem, and I will go to the shipyard tomorrow to inspect it. ”

Fang Xiaoyu's eagerness to get a good drawing for a warship designer is still understandable, since he can solve the funds by himself, he will toss it. Before Xu Shouchang left, he said to Xiaoyu: "Master, if you are a full-time designer, I am afraid that you will become a myth in the warship design industry." Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "It's a pity that I don't have much time to focus on one thing, but even so, I believe that I will become a myth." ”

After sending Xu Shouchang away, Fang Xiaoyu found that he had nothing to do in Tongjiang Mansion City. The chemical plant's staff still need training, but construction has already begun on the Songjiang side, along with new buildings for various light industries, including sugar mills, distilleries, soap factories, perfume factories, cigarette factories and paper mills. Fang Xiaoyu planned to build a light industrial zone on the edge of the Songjiang River near Fucheng, and with the addition of a heavy industrial zone near the Dahengduan Mountain Range, Fang Xiaoyu's industry was initially established.

The light industrial zone was already on track, and Fang Xiaoyu decided to go to the heavy industrial zone to have a look, after all, it was the most important part of increasing the war potential of the territory. With Elena and a dozen guards, Fang Xiaoyu rode to the heavy industry area. Although the railway from the heavy industrial zone to Fucheng has been repaired, it is a pity that the steel plant and the machine building plant are still under construction, and now there is a railway instead of a train.

The main problem in locomotive manufacturing is that the high-carbon steel material used to make the wheel connecting rod is not good enough, and it is prone to breakage. The problem of not having a locomotive made Fang Xiaoyu really embarrassed, and Fang Xiaoyu was almost ready to learn the horse-drawn train in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly".

Fortunately, Li Zhonggong, who was in charge of the construction of the manufacturing plant, repeatedly assured Fang Xiaoyu that the factory would be put into operation within two months, and the new high-carbon steel process formula had also been verified.

The steam engine and production line made by Fang Xiaoyu have already started, and the speed is not bad, it can make 200 lever-operated rifles and 10,000 rounds of ammunition per day, and the steel used here can only be transported from the iron and steel factory in Luoyun Mountain for the time being.

In addition, iron ore and coal mines have been put into operation one after another, and the output is not bad, as long as the steel plant is completed, it can start construction immediately. Now Fang Xiaoyu has 20,000 industrial workers of various kinds, of which 8,000 are dwarves, Fang Xiaoyu treats these people very well, the lowest junior technicians have a monthly salary of as high as 30 yuan, and the salary increases according to the level, and the salary of senior technicians such as dwarves even reaches 100 yuan.

To this end, Fang Xiaoyu planned to establish a city in the heavy industrial area, and create a technical school, where dwarves would teach and train technicians, and at the same time adopt a strict technician examination system, so as not to rely on dwarves to evaluate the level of each worker as it is now.

The two biggest obstacles to a country's industrial development are the level of science and technology and the number of high-level technicians. And Fang Xiaoyu has Xiaofeng, a chip that can be compared to the scientific research level of other countries, and with those skilled dwarves in charge, there will be no shortage of senior technicians.

Fang Xiaoyu was lucky to solve the two biggest obstacles to industrialization, and with such convenient conditions, the industrial development of Zhonghua Ling is destined to appear at a speed that is unimaginable to others. Although the scale of the establishment of heavy industry is still very small, it has already made Fang Xiaoyu very excited, in order to commemorate his entrepreneurial place, Fang Xiaoyu decided to name this place Lanting City, which will become the first heavy industry city of the Lanfang Empire.
