"Third master, this gunwald can go, and the deck can go, but this freshwater cabin can't go! This sea water is not available!

Using fresh water, there is heavy scale in the boiler, the use of seawater, not to mention the problem of seawater erosion of the boiler, just those sea salt that boils seawater, will block the entire boiler in a very short time, in this way, the pipeline is not passable, and the boiler is basically unable to escape the doom of explosion! ”

In terms of technology, Li Mingfu is rigorous, without fresh water, this boiler is unsustainable, the fresh water tank, it is indeed a cabin that occupies a lot of territory, but there is no fresh water tank, this steam ironclad ship, it can't even walk, with seawater, after an hour or two, the boiler should explode!

Even if seawater is available, the terrifying erosion ability of seawater is not something that boilers made of copper and iron can withstand, and once the pipeline is blocked or corroded, it will still be empty!

It's not that no one in Europe and the United States has thought about this problem, but those people have undoubtedly failed, the third master has a good saying, although the scale of the Yang family's foreign affairs is extremely large, but compared with Europe and the United States, the Yang family is still a lot worse!

"Since this seawater can be boiled with salt, it means that there is water vapor, and there is water vapor means fresh water and power, and the boiler and the equipment for boiling salt cannot be integrated, so they are built separately, and water vapor pipes are set up, and the water vapor is heated by the boiler.

As for the corrosion problem of seawater, the porcelain pipe can be solved, the porcelain pipe is fragile, what if the heavy copper and iron pipe is wrapped outside the porcelain pipe?

Lao Tzu thinks that the equipment for boiling salt is always smaller than the fresh water tank, right? As long as there is a slight possibility of improvement, this thing must be done unremittingly!

Lao Tzu also said just now, as long as the defense power of the offshore sea, this offshore sea. You Li Mingfu know what it means, right? Even without improving these things. Today's ironclads. It can also be fought in the near sea.

In any case, no matter how difficult it is for your Guangzhou shipyard, in a year and a half, a hundred ironclad ships, Lao Tzu is going to decide!

Iron furnaces are not enough to build railways, and equipment is insufficient. Manufacturing equipment, insufficient personnel, the people in the south and southwest of the Yangtze River, can be used for you, the conditions that should be there, Lao Tzu has given it to you.

The war of foreign affairs is not a thing of empty words, this war of foreign affairs will start with these 100 ironclad ships! ”

If the battle between Beijing and Tianjin is lost, the Qing Dynasty will be completely defeated, in a short period of time. I'm afraid I don't have the ability to rise! If the Anglo-French forces were defeated, they would probably surrender. They may also become angry and wantonly attack the coastal defenses of the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, any treaties, agreements and other things will be a piece of waste paper, and the angry Anglo-French coalition will not care about these things, and if they fight a regular war, maybe the Anglo-French coalition will suffer!

But in the war of looting, without the constraints of logistics, as long as there is enough ammunition, with the strength of the British and French forces, it can still be carried over the Qing Dynasty, there is no food, don't forget the human flesh in the Qing Dynasty disaster and famine, eating meat is better than starving, without such worries, an angry army of beasts, the defeated Yang family, may not be able to stop!

Transferring the pressure of the war to Li Mingfu and others, letting Li Mingfu and others fight a war of foreign affairs, and making a solid backing for the upcoming battle between Beijing and Tianjin is the problem that Yang Meng is thinking about now, as for the details, if he had to bow down to everything, he Yang Meng would have been tired to death!

"The third master's idea is good, if the freshwater cabin can be canceled, the range of this ironclad ship will be at least tripled! It's just that this new three-rise seawater steam engine can't be completed in a short time!

Third Master! Can you give the shipyard an extra year and a half, three years, within three years, Mingfu will definitely come up with a new ironclad ship that satisfies the third master! ”

Li Mingfu personally participated in the construction of ironclad ships, from naval guns to steam engines, and then to rivets, these shipbuilding processes, Li Mingfu is extremely familiar with them.

"Huh...... Blessed as Ming! If possible, Lao Tzu is willing to give you ten, twenty, thirty years, but! The big war is not with me in real time, Lao Tzu said that a year and a half is a year and a half, for ironclad ships, Lao Tzu does not have too high requirements, one-on-one can kill the same tonnage of sail battleships!

As for technology or something, don't tell Lao Tzu, that's the business you have to pay attention to!

Western-style war? What is the Westernization War? Blessed as Ming! You can understand it this way, in a year and a half, a hundred iron warships are a foreign war, in a year and a half, you have built a hundred iron warships, a foreign war, that is, we won!

It can't be made, and after a year and a half, the number of people who are going to die will be counted in the millions, Ming Fu! You've read the book, and you know the Ming Dynasty's widows, right?

If the Anglo-French forces are angry, the southwest and southeast coasts will all be British and French devils! How many ordinary people will die at that time, you can go back and calculate it yourself.

According to Lao Tzu's calculations, tens of millions or 10,000 are possible! You can't lose this war of foreign affairs!

Are you afraid that a hundred ironclad ships will be abandoned after they are built? This is inevitable, even if it is not abandoned now, it will be abandoned in the future, and what Lao Tzu wants now is a mobile fort near the sea!

Millican's floating battery is not advisable, that thing, then study, there is only one thing you have to study now, that is, ironclad ships that can travel long distances, Lao Tzu will fight to the British and French mainland in the future, tens of thousands of miles of sea voyages, you have some numbers! ”

Seeing that Li Mingfu was still addicted to technology and time, Yang Meng added pressure on him again, there are some things, no one can say for sure, but it is still possible, what Yang Meng said, it is not impossible to come true.

The technology of the ironclad ship is a key technology in the short term, Yang Meng was afraid that the Guangzhou shipyard would take a detour like Millican, and he also specially emphasized the floating battery of Millican, that thing is not without the need for development, but the current level of science and technology has not yet reached.

If Yang Meng is given twenty or thirty years, it is also the only way for the Yang family to transform the floating battery into a submarine, but now, it can only be temporarily abandoned.

Yang Meng has to face the pressure of war, and in the near future, he needs to effectively invent and create a new product, such as an ironclad ship, such as a fertilizer factory, and an converter steelmaking method.

"Got it. After the third master, Guangzhou Shipyard and Dawan Shipyard. Bound to put all your energy on the ironclad! ”

Lee Myung-bok's oath. In Yang Meng's opinion, it is a big mistake, although the ironclad ship is the key to the rise, he is not the only one, there are too many things lacking now, and all the strength of the Yang family is invested in the construction of the ironclad ship, which is the biggest failure!

"It's wrong again, it's only the Guangzhou shipyard that wants to build ironclad ships, just like the tinplate factory's production of anchor mines can't delay export and civilian use. Xishan belongs to Guangzhou and Guangzhou, except for making achievements in ironclad ships, there can be no slack in other undertakings.

What is needed for war is what is needed for war, and the development of foreign affairs belongs to the development of foreign affairs, and many things cannot be mixed up!

This is the purpose of Lao Tzu to let you come to Beijing, the foreign war will be correct, and the rest of the projects will be carried out normally, this is Lao Tzu's request!

Whether it is Xishan, Guangzhou, Huang'e or Dawan, manpower or those manpower can be increased. But we must not use manpower from these places because of war!

Blessed as Ming! The war of foreign affairs is not so easy to fight. Lao Tzu also knows that with the group of people under you, it is almost impossible to build a hundred ironclad ships in a year and a half!

But! This is the purpose of the Westernization War, with the original manpower and material resources, plus the 40,000 people of the Qing Dynasty, you will make the impossible possible within a year and a half! This is war! Western-style war!

Originally, I planned to keep you in Jingshi this time, but since you have this kid, you can go back!

After you go back, you have to send a group of elites from the Guangzhou Shipyard to Beijing, and the Guangzhou Shipyard and Dawan Shipyard under your command for the war must be completed on the premise of not affecting normal production! ”

If it is a Western-style war, shouting a few slogans and gathering some manpower and material resources, you can easily win, then it is not called a Western-style war, after Yang Meng's conditions are put out, Li Mingfu's already frowning brows are almost no gap, the pressure is too great, and many things are impossible to accomplish.

But what the third master said in the Yang family, other undertakings do not stop, and he wants to build a hundred ironclad ships in a year and a half, even if he is rebuilt on the basis of the original wooden-hulled merchant ships, such pressure is unbearable for Guangzhou Shipyard.

"Subordinates do their best!"

"It's not just a matter of doing your best, your Guangzhou shipyard belongs to the military order, and you can't make a hundred ironclad ships in a year and a half, and all the shipyards will be sent to Mongolia to repair railways!"

"The Third Master ......"

"This is war! You Li Mingfu is a general, Lao Tzu is handsome, if you don't fight well on the front line, you will die, if you don't fight well in the rear, there will be more deaths, don't tell Lao Tzu that there are more than 100,000 people in the shipyard, Lao Tzu's Beijing-Tianjin front, if you don't get it, hundreds of thousands of people will die!

Not to mention sending you to Mongolia to build a railway, if it is because of the shortage of ironclad ships, which affects the war situation, even if the battle is defeated, Lao Tzu will slaughter the Guangzhou shipyard first!

Mingfu, let me tell you this! If Lao Tzu is defeated, the Yang family's technology will not be leaked at all! ”

Whether it is Xishan or Guangzhou Shipyard, there are many things that can lead the trend of the times, these things, no matter how much the price is paid, Yang Meng will not let the foreign devils succeed lightly, if it is really not successful, he can only slaughter the technicians.

"Third Master...... Why bother? ”

Yang Meng's meaning, Li Mingfu clearly understood, once defeated, many things are afraid that they will disappear, right?

"This qiē is all created by Lao Tzu, and what Lao Tzu can't get, no one will get!

There are some things, if they are given to foreign devils, we will no longer have any hope of rising, in order to protect the hope of rising, no matter how many people die, Lao Tzu will not blink!

You are different from Master Ge, this is also the reason why Lao Tzu summoned you to Beijing, involving the rise of a clan, no one in the world cannot be killed!

Blessed as Ming! Go for it! Do your best! Otherwise, today's good situation will turn to ashes in the future! ”

This is an era when technology and population are kings, and the status of technology is much higher than the number of population, without the corresponding technology, no matter how large the population is, it is just a pig and a dog!

Promote Westernization to Westernization War, Yang Meng also has these aspects of the examination, technical personnel, do not force them into a dead end, the speed of this result, will not be very fast.

Today's battlefield is the largest testing ground, Yang Meng is not in the Beijing-Tianjin battlefield, and he is engaged in white. Phosphorus. The reason for the bullets, copper-shelled bullets, shell-mounted artillery shells, five-round dressers, and M14 is also very simple, that is, these things are mature products that have been tested on the battlefield, and there is no need to put them into the battlefield too early.

Those secret weapons in Yang Meng's hands, once put into the battlefield, may be able to ensure victory in the war, but after those weapons are leaked, the hegemony may be gone forever, with the industrial capacity of Europe and the United States, it is only a few years to catch up with and surpass what he has mastered!

Who knows what will come out of these things in a few years? Once the situation becomes like that, even if you can still try to achieve hegemony, the sacrifices you have to pay will be dozens or hundreds of times that of now, because of the huge sacrifices, it is very possible that the road to rise will be stifled!

While convincing Li Mingfu, Yang Meng was also convincing himself, after saying these words, he also felt that this Westernization war must be fought!

"Know, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent! The subordinates will not let a trace of technology, a technician, escape! ”

Yang Sanye put the consequences in front of Li Mingfu, Li Mingfu's rigor made him aware of the threat of technology outflow, Li Mingfu, who did miscellaneous studies, was different from those Confucian scholars, he was more interested in the effectiveness and results, for the country and the people, the technology of Xishan and Guangzhou could not be leaked at all!
