A few days passed quickly, and after breaking five, Deng Zixuan hastily ended the traditional festival and threw himself into busy work. Early in the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Deng Zixuan walked into the headquarters as usual. "Commander-in-chief, the operations of the various corps on the front line have been drawn up, you can take a look at it again." Pei Gejin was holding a black book in his hand, looking very excited. "I don't need to look at it, let the combat department Zuihou verify, and the combat jihua immediately sent it to all corps,. Today I'm going to the Dongguan internal combustion engine factory. The internal combustion engine produced for torpedo boats has passed experiments and is officially produced as a prototype. ”

"In addition, I will go to the torpedo boat factory to inspect the two experimental all-steel torpedo boats have been formed, as soon as the internal combustion engine Shiyan passes, two prototypes will be produced immediately, and then installed on the torpedo boat for sea trials. If there are no problems with sea trials. The next step is to mass-produce all-steel torpedo boats. Pei Gejin heard this and said excitedly: "Commander-in-chief, it's really good news, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time." ”

Deng Zixuan explained, then got into the carriage and went to the Pearl River ferry under the escort of a team of guards. Arriving at the ferry, the carriage and dozens of horses of the guards boarded the ferry. With a whistle, the ferry slowly left the pier. It stands to reason that the people should still be silent in the atmosphere of the year, but businessmen will not follow the rules. In the past, commercial activities did not start until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and even made a fuss until the second day of February. Perhaps under the influence of the military junta, or perhaps the rhythm of life produced by the new era, businessmen began to break the traditional rules of life, and everyone was consciously or unconsciously changing their traditional habits.

At this time, the cargo ships on the river shuttled back and forth, and the itinerary was in a hurry, which was a busy scene. Deng Zixuan stood on the bow of the boat, witnessing the thriving scene on the river, and felt extremely relieved in his heart. In particular, the successful development of the internal combustion engine made it difficult for him to calm down. Thinking of the usefulness of the internal combustion engine, a different picture appeared before his eyes: chariots galloping, cars shuttling, airplanes soaring through the air. With the internal combustion engine, in the near future, the first motorcycle, the first car, the first tank, the first airplane will appear in the land of China, ・・・・・・.

The more Deng Zixuan thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and close his eyes. His actions caused unease among the guards. "Commander-in-Chief, are you unwell?" Deng Zixuan smiled: "It's okay, the air on the river is very fresh, I'm spitting out the old and accepting the new." The guards didn't understand what it meant to spit out the old and accept the new, but they were relieved to see that Deng Zixuan was not abnormal. Crossing the Pearl River, Deng Zixuan and the guards soon entered the border of Dongguan.

When he came to the internal combustion engine factory, Deng Qiang, director of the Ordnance Industry Administration, had already greeted him at the door. "Sir, two experimental diesel internal combustion engines are being assembled, I'll take you to take a look." As soon as they met, Deng Qiang was blunt. Deng Zixuan's purpose here is to look at the internal combustion engine, so naturally there is no objection. In fact, the inspection is to browse, sometimes Deng Qiang also wonders, Mr. is going to come every three or five times, it seems that the internal combustion engine is a baby to be born, that kind of care makes Deng Qiang confused. Regarding the mystery of the internal combustion engine, it is naturally difficult for him to understand Deng Zixuan's thoughts.

After reading the assembly process of the internal combustion engine, Deng Zixuan proposed to inspect the petroleum smelting workshop. After the Northern Expeditionary Army occupied the west, Deng Zixuan ordered Leng Yifei to transport back the oil collected from Yanqing and Yumen. At the same time, he ordered the military government to set up a special agency, called the Department of Geological Exploration and Machinery Research and Development. One is to look for mineral deposits, and the other is to study mechanical drilling. To put it bluntly, it is for the sake of drilling for oil. Because the geological structure of Yanqing and Yumen is not complex and the oil is shallow, it is not difficult to exploit it.

Although the oil reserves in Yumen and Yanqing are not much, the oil has not been used on a large scale, which is enough to meet the current needs. After the establishment of this department, Deng Zixuan relocated them to Xi'an and prepared for large-scale oil extraction in the future. After Deng Zixuan visited the simple oil refining process, he felt unsatisfactory. But now it's basically crossing the river by feeling the stones, and it's useless to be in a hurry. Although Deng Zixuan has advanced knowledge, he is basically a layman on how to extract oil, how to drill, and how to smelt.

Entering Deng Qiang's office in the scientific research building, Deng Qiang said with some apprehension: "Sir, you seem to be dissatisfied with petroleum refining?" Deng Zixuan said with a stern face: "We have developed the internal combustion engine, which means the beginning of a new era." As the saying goes, horses want to eat grass, people need to eat grain, and internal combustion engines also need to eat a full stomach, not only to eat a full stomach but also to eat. When we do petroleum refining, we prepare delicious food for the internal combustion engine. ”

Deng Qiang said helplessly: "We are also blind to oil refining, and the purity of gasoline and diesel is indeed not high." Sir, it's the groping stage. Deng Zixuan said: "Yes! We can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, but we can't be satisfied with the status quo. In the future, with the birth of high-horsepower internal combustion engines, internal combustion engines will have subversive changes. Therefore, our oil refining can not be delayed, the next step is to focus on liliang public relations oil refining, engage in large-scale production mode. There is a saying that there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb. "Sir, I will keep your words in mind!"

Deng Zixuan continued: "You don't have to worry about oil extraction, but how to separate and refine the extracted oil is very important. If we raise the purity of petroleum refining to a new level, and it is large-scale refining, it will promote the vigorous development of the internal combustion engine, and I can tell you unequivocally that the internal combustion engine, including the large-scale use of oil, will change the whole shijie. Deng Qiang said with some excitement: "Sir, don't worry, I will go all out to do a good job in petroleum refining." But it's too difficult to transport oil from the far west, so why don't we look for oil in the south? ”

Deng Zixuan smiled: "You think oil is everywhere like water." Oil is formed slowly over a long period of geological activity, just like coal. The geological formations in the south do not produce oil, while the geological formations in the north create the conditions for the generation of oil, and in the future, we will mainly concentrate on the north in the search for oil. I said you don't have to worry about extracting oil, you just need to do a good job of refining it. "At present, oil is a military strategy, and there are many things that even Deng Qiang is inconvenient for him to disclose.

Subsequently, on this topic, Deng Zixuan made a forward-looking discussion on how to upgrade the internal combustion engine, constantly bring forth the new, and how to improve. In short, according to the various situations that occur in the practical application of the internal combustion engine, we should not stop at the great success, but have a sense of innovation, gradually develop from the low level to the high level, and persevere to the depth and breadth. The achievements of the internal combustion engine have not yet been popularized on a large scale, and Deng Zixuan has put forward new requirements, which makes Deng Qiang feel pressured.

On the way back, Deng Zixuan came to the torpedo boat factory, which is now on a large scale. The figure of Deng Zixuan who saw appeared, and Deng Xiang, who was waiting in front of the factory, hurriedly stepped forward. "How, what is the speed of progress of the torpedo boats?" As soon as they met, Deng Zixuan went straight to the point. "Sir, the new torpedo experimental boat is being carried out according to Jihua, and we will assemble and unfold Shiyan as soon as the internal combustion engine is cleared. Now that the hull section has been completed, it is just waiting for the installation of the internal combustion engine. Deng wanted to answer.

Deng Zixuan followed Deng Xiang to the dock where two torpedo boats were built, and saw that the workers were working nervously and said: "I just came back from the internal combustion engine factory, and the two internal combustion engines will be assembled in two days. "Sir, don't worry, I'll hurry." Deng Zixuan circled around a steel torpedo boat under construction, and saw the workers sweating and riveting with sledgehammers, and he was very helpless.

The efficiency of riveting is low, which is the bottleneck that restricts the production cycle. At present, Shijie on the steam engine, shipbuilding and other important processes, all use riveting jishu, and although this jishu is cumbersome, this is a very molded jishu, the biggest disadvantage is that the manufacturing period is quite long. And the welding jishu in Deng Zixuan's mind has not yet appeared on shijie. Since the power plant was established, Deng Zixuan set up an arc welding research group at the Guangzhou Research Institute and carried out welding research, but it took time and it was useless to be anxious.

Walking into Deng Xiang's office, Deng Zixuan asked: "The new torpedo boat we designed this time has a displacement of 150 tons and requires a speed of 30 knots. "Sir, don't worry, we carefully construct according to the design requirements, and each process is strictly controlled by special personnel."

Deng Zixuan nodded, and when he saw the model of the new torpedo boat on the table, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. The new torpedo boat model is beautiful, with a 50-mm gun in the middle and a stationary heavy machine gun in the rear on the front deck, in addition to the torpedo canisters on both sides, the torpedo boat can take on the function of a small gunboat. As an all-steel ship, its own protective capability has been greatly strengthened, and in addition to torpedo attacks, torpedo boats can participate in anti-landing operations, and carry out both fire strikes and torpedo attacks on landing ships.

Seeing Deng Zixuan admiring the torpedo boat model, Deng thought, "Sir, according to your intentions, I have already sent people to Wuhan." We acquired a shipyard in Wuhan and are in the process of expanding. After the equipment is updated, it is estimated that gunboats will be produced by the middle of next year. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "We produce gunboats with a displacement of 300 tons, mainly considering river and coastal defense, and in the future, gunboats and torpedo boats will form a coastal defense circle." At present, we and the Western maritime powers cannot compete for supremacy in the ocean, so we can only follow our path of leapfrog development in a down-to-earth manner and strengthen our navy step by step. ”

Deng Zixuan seemed to remember something and continued: "What I said about the idea of the submarine, how are you progressing?" Deng Xiang replied: "Sir, according to your conception, submarines, as a means of underwater attack in the future, are incomparable in their concealment and aggressiveness. Whoever masters the submarine Jishu first, the combat power at sea will reach a new height. At present, I have set up a scientific research group at the Military Research Institute, and I will first carry out theoretical research. Submarines sail underwater, and the time spent underwater in the water, underwater attacks, batteries, etc. are all difficult problems. ”

Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, Bauhinia City was not built in a day, I believe that one day the submarine force of the Chinese Navy will definitely make the enemy fearful, and that day will be the time for the Chinese Navy to show off its strength in the ocean." It takes time to build a strong navy, and I have patience, and you have to be patient as well. There may be unimaginable difficulties on the way forward, but we must build the courage to climb the peak. Remember, the Chinese nation is an industrious and intelligent nation, and we can do the same things that foreigners can do, and we must also do what foreigners can't. ”

"Please rest assured, sir, the disciple will not live up to your expectations!" Deng Xiang had a solemn expression on his face. Deng Zixuan patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, his face showing fatherly warmth. A group of young team elites are thriving, and the seedlings they have cultivated have grown into big trees and raised beams.
