Chapter 466: Development and Market
The minister had to hand over to Chairman Wu Dapeng an analysis report on the surrounding situation on time every month, compared to two months before.
In this report, the intelligence personnel of the intelligence and security department of the Hantang Group recorded the basic situation of the various surrounding forces, and of course, when they were sent to the minister of the example, they were all trivial descriptions of the basic level.
Before sending them to Minister Wu Dapeng, Minister Fan should further sort out and analyze them in light of historical data and the actual situation, so as to make a correct judgment.
Minister Paradigm liked the job, it gave him a feeling of looking down on all beings, he wanted to be able to sort out and analyze information every day, but in this plane, they had reached the fastest collection speed, and it couldn't be faster.
From this change in time, it can also be indirectly seen that the new Taiwan-class schooners have promoted this logistics speed.
Many maritime merchants have replaced their merchant ships with new schooners produced by Taiwan's Anjiang Shipyard, and the Ming sailors are better able to adapt to the new ships than expected.
The real needs of life are the mother of technology promotion.
After completing the requirements of the Hantang Group, Anjiang Shipyard also sold sailboats to the outside world, and continued to give orders, so that they could continue to expand the scale of production and processing, and constantly increase the recruitment of shipwrights.
Large and small dry docks continued to appear in front of Director Wu Jie and Fan Xiu technicians.
Fan Xiu technician said: "It's only now that I'm starting to feel a little bit like playing Age of Empires. ”
Director Wu Jie patted his bald head and said lightly: "Let's make do with the development like this first, the 3,000-ton dry dock and the 5,000-ton shipyard are our favorites, these are just a joke." ”
As the sun sets, it shines obliquely on his bald head.
If the supply of forged steel keels and ribs for ships can keep up, if the actual transportation capacity is really in demand, then Anjiang Shipyard can guarantee all the supply of the Hantang Group and the transportation market, and all of them are whale-class large sailing ships!
However, there is also a problem of market demand in this time and space, and now sailboats are not very easy to sell, and it cannot be said that whale-level maritime merchants also want it, but Hantang Group cannot provide so much forged steel.
Land transportation and agricultural equipment are also developing.
The stalls at the Anjiang shipyard now seem to be a bit big, and it could have temporarily closed a few shipyards or dry docks, or laid off some shipbuilders, which is a manifestation of the laws of the market.
Now Taiwan's labor market seems to be able to eat an endless number of workers, because other industries are also developing rapidly, and economic development is on the fast track.
But Director Wu Jie is reluctant, are these ordinary workers? They are all workers who have learned from me, and they can understand some modern production management, but they can't just let them go, I'd rather let them stay idle and take care of the food! Give back some of the profits handed over by our shipyard and exchange them for food!
Everyone knows that Director Wu Jie is a little stingy, of course he is reluctant to let others eat for nothing in the future, he and Fan Xiu technician first thought of the first way.
"Do you want a capital ship that can attack the shore defense battery?"
Director Wu Jie sneakily posted a message on the Internet.
He thought to himself that as long as the Haian Brigade or everyone strongly requested to mount a large sail capital ship and a sail capital ship that could attack the shore, then the Hantang Group would take the initiative to take out this large amount of horse tickets.
Then we can properly feed the whole factory, and if we can't get it, we can recruit some more boatmen and open a few large dry docks.
The idea is really good, military purchases, it has always been a big piece of fat.
Sure enough, someone joined the discussion, and everyone said all the large warships in this time and space one by one, and all the numbers were complete.
Director Wu Jie wrote with a smile:
"Let's think about it, our sail capital ships are majestically docked at the gates of other countries, erecting cannons, and forcing the other side to sign all kinds of unreasonable treaties. Fifteen hundred tons, one hundred and fifty-five cannons, hurry up and throw that threaded cannon to me! ”
Suddenly there was a lot of applause on the Internet, it's too right, and now the development is too slow, and it's not cool at all.
Director Wu Jie pretended not to care and wrote:
"There are too many capital ships for five, how about two first?"
There was a sudden calm on the Internet, and after a long time, Captain Guo Ziren, who had just returned from Rubber Island, interjected: "Our current pot camel machine has been finalized and produced, do we still play with big wooden boats?" ”
After the goods went to Rubber Island to deliver people and supplies, he just came back and was preparing to go to Fuzhou to preside over the work of the commercial station.
He didn't do his own preparations, and he ran to me to mix something!
Director Wu Jie was angry at that time, his face was even darker, damn it, he was about to be able to achieve his goal, these two goods came to say this.
But what he said was also true.
Now, Hantang Group's 20G steel plate can be produced in small batches, which is the most commonly used carbon steel plate on boilers. It has proper strength and good plasticity, as well as good process properties such as smelting, plate making, welding, heat treatment and hot and cold forming.
It is widely used, mainly used for medium and low pressure boilers with a working temperature of ≤ 450 °C to make boiler barrels and flanges, header end covers and other parts, but it is used in small quantities in large boilers, mainly used in lower pressure parts.
Its chemical composition: C≤0.2, Si0.15-0.30, Mn0.50-0.90, S≤0.035, P≤0.035.
In fact, this is a compromise between Hantang Group and Mingren technicians in terms of technological development.
However, after 20G steel can be produced in small batches, the steel used for the tube, the steel for the steam drum, the steel for the fasteners, the steel for the rotor and the steel for the slider can be unified to a certain extent, so that the original pot camel machine far exceeds the original cast iron pot camel machine in terms of performance.
This is actually a waste, obviously cast iron can be done, this is a good comparison, 28 bars are installed with a small engine, you say it is the most labor-saving bicycle to ride, say it is the slowest motorcycle, this is the thing.
The Hantang Group had no choice, they could no longer find a steam engine that was more compact and simpler, easier to operate, install and maintain, reliable to work on, and easier to manufacture.
To tell the truth, the Ming laborers already showed a handy appearance when using and caring for this kind of boiler.
The Green engine and the Stirling engine seem to be simple, but they are not something that the Hantang Group can afford now, and a material process will stump them.
The Green engines and Stirling engines brought from that world have now completed their historical mission, and they have allowed Hantang Group to complete the task of bottoming out, and they are also the ingredients or accessories for other equipment.
In order to bring the Mingren technicians onto the platform for development, Hantang Group continues to optimize the structure of the pot camel machine.
By the way, we are still a pot camel machine, but the cylinder, valve, steam pipe and slider and spindle of our pot camel machine are all 20G steel, which is a product of the new era.
The original shape was reduced, the weight was reduced, the pressure increased, the horsepower output increased, and the design and processing of the transport vehicle volume was quickly finalized.
From 5 hp to 100 hp, it's still a series of products.
Hantang Group first equipped two special buses for Xiangshan Community, and everyone is overcoming unfavorable factors such as noise and bumps, and is developing the habit of commuting by such a bus.
Therefore, the big wooden ship capital ship mentioned by Director Wu Jie looks very emotional, but if you want to play this, it will be meaningless, and everyone will not have a sense of zài.
Just now, just to say, we still want to build a large aircraft carrier in our lifetime.
A heated discussion finally broke up, and the interjection of the stationmaster of the second cargo Guo Ziren made Director Wu Jie hate it in his heart, and next time he came to my shipyard, he resolutely didn't care.
In the end, the board of directors also did not approve plans for the construction of capital ships for large sailing ships.
Director Wu Jie's face was dark, and his heart was also dark, so he thought of a second way.
"The sailing technology in the Hantang Group has been learned by the Europeans, leaks, leaks!"
Director Wu Jie personally went into battle to publicize.
In the words of Director Wu Jie, if the Ming people learned, everyone would not care, the key is that he also saw that the white-skinned merchant ships in Macao and Manila also used some of his "zào" technology!
It's over, it's over, Director Wu Jie is so anxious that his bald head is full of sweat, this is Yan zhòng's technical leak.
Director Wu Jie found Qin Xiguan, the chief of the patrol police, and asked them to detain all the white-skinned merchant ships that learned Taiwan-class sailing technology, and check them one by one, to find out where they learned them!
Seize all their ships or burn them in public, and of course, the people and goods will not be burned, and we can sell them sailboats!
Minister Qin Xiguan looked at Director Wu Jie hesitantly, and he was still wiping the sweat from his bald head at that time.
"Isn't it just the shape of a sail, at the mercy of it, and some rigging?!"
Director Wu Jie jumped up and said, "You despise it too much, this is all the experience accumulated over hundreds of years!" Just let people learn it secretly?! ”
Minister Qin Xi said: "We are not even afraid of the steam engine, telephone, electric light or anything they will learn, your technology can be understood from a distance, don't be afraid, if they also transport it quickly, it will be beneficial to us." Sit down and think about it, come on, have a bottle of soda—"
"You wait for the whiteskins to attack Taiwan with countless galleons!"
"Damn, then we're rich!"
Director Wu Jie was even more angry at that time, these people are not easy to fool!
He had a black face, he didn't even say hello, he left directly, he wanted to find Chairman Wu Dapeng!
This patrol chief is not qualified, and there is no intention of protecting technology patents at all.
Minister Qin Xiguan watched Director Wu Jie snort and left, thinking to himself, this cautious guy is angry again.
Chairman Wu Dapeng is particularly good at speaking, and in a few words, he soothed the black-faced and cautious Wu Jie.
Probably to say that one or two skills on a sailboat are nothing, just looking at a shape, you don't know why it is useful.
"I don't believe they know fluidics? Can Director Wu Jie carefully calculate and learn the process of careful design? ”
"That's right!" Director Wu Jie suddenly calmed down.
"But if we need to build some sailboats, we have received too few orders this month."
Chairman Wu Dapeng looked at Director Wu Jie seriously and said, "At present, the scale of our shipyard is super-large...... The modular ship you are talking about is now at the peak of the development of all aspects, and the production rate is higher, but the market will not be saturated so quickly, right? ”
Director Wu Jie touched his bald head and said, "That's it, I'm also wondering......"
Chairman Wu Dapeng said strangely: "You haven't done market analysis? ”
Director Wu Jie asked rhetorically: "The sailing industry still needs to do market analysis?" ”
"Haha, my sail master Director Wu, as long as it is an open market, it has real demand and supply, and it will not develop blindly without market research."
Director Wu Jie's face turned a little black and red, yes, this is not a matter of playing whatever you want, you are going the wrong way.
Director Wu Jie nodded and left, saying that he wanted to make up for this lesson.
After Chairman Wu Dapeng sent off Director Wu Jie, he began to carefully study the information collected by Minister Fan.
