Chapter 9 The Gratitude of the People

Riding a train is the easiest way to turn a stranger into a mature person. The three of them quickly became acquainted, except for Jiang Tiesheng who deliberately concealed his identity as the founder of the country, the old, middle and young generations talked happily with each other. It's just that Wang Zhicheng occasionally wanders, thinking about her in a carriage from time to time.

Talking about the cruise ship that is going to sail this time, Wang Zhicheng came to the spirit, he is a lover of ships. Even as long as he can float on the water, he is interested in learning about it. Of course, what he learned about it was mainly from two magazines, "Ship Knowledge" and "Ship Shijie".

"It was definitely the pinnacle of the first industrial revolution!"

Wang Zhicheng said with his eyebrows fluttering.

A series of data blurted out: "It is 182 meters long, 25 meters wide, and the chimney is 45 meters high, think about it, it is 2 meters taller than the Peace Hotel in Tianjin!" Its main engine is four 8,000 horsepower reciprocating steam engines, which can travel at a speed of 25 nautical miles, with a gross tonnage of 35,000 tons and a capacity of 4,000 people. Most importantly, it completely bids farewell to the steel-wood hybrid structure, except for the necessary decoration, it is completely all-steel structure! ”

The incoming Chief Executive was dumbfounded. I couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it bigger than a holy ship?" Bigger than the largest warship of the republic? Does it mean that all future ships will be made of all-steel? ”

"The big ship must have beaten the small boat, that's a rumor. The first requirement of a warship is the ability to output firepower, and the second is speed! When our republic was just founded, Xiyi attacked, and I sank five capital ships of Xiyi in three hours with a rocket destroyer and a fast gunboat, each of them was more than 800 tons, and our two together were not as many as one of them! ”

"My republic is magnificent!"

"The all-steel structure can only be regarded as a jishu reserve, small ships may be built, and large ones are probably not necessary." Wang Zhicheng analyzed, "At present, the steel production of our Republic is insufficient. ”

"Nearly 20 million tons of output is not enough every year! As the President said: 'We are now in an era of great development and construction!' 'Don't be fooled. ”

"The needs of 40,000,000 people, the development and construction of the entire Pacific Rim! We are proud to be in this great period! ”

"I know it."

Jiang Tiesheng watched thoughtfully as they were eagerly discussing without interjecting. When he heard that Wang Zhicheng say the data, he unconsciously thought of the information that had not been made public.

The 1,100 kilowatt diesel engine generator, electron tube radio communication equipment, etc., which are completely produced by the Jishu talents of this time and space, and completely use the equipment and materials of this time and space, which has cross-era significance. Although only the founders know that it is a miniature version of the Titanic.

Jiang Tiesheng looked at them, and gradually felt as if he had become one of them, still talking about national affairs enthusiastically on the train in a different time and space.

However, his face gradually became serious, and he then thought that after he was laid off, he was overwhelmed by the burdens of life, and his blood slowly turned cold, and he only cared about matters related to survival. When he began to question the meaning of life in his 40s, he changed his fate.

How long has it been since you thought about another time and space? At the beginning of his crossing, he also had the mentality of saving the Han nation and culture, but as time passed, he found that it was actually the Han nation that saved him. In the past 60 years, he has no worries or emptiness, and although he is tired every day, he can eat well and sleep soundly. I believe that as long as you work hard, you will succeed a little tomorrow. Yes, when we free the people from all kinds of fears, the people will also free us from fear.

"Xiexie, you, my people!" He said in his heart.

The conductor came to this carriage, and he bowed respectfully to Jiang Tiesheng and said, "Thank you for the contribution made by the founders to this republic." Minister Jiang, there is your secret telegram in the telecommunications room. ”

Founders!! Many exclaimed in low voices.

The Founder is an honorary title, which refers to the more than 800 people who followed the five founding fathers from the beginning after the establishment of the Republic. In various propaganda materials, they made great contributions to the construction of the republic on all fronts, saving hundreds of millions of Han Chinese. Therefore, I don't know when the people began to bow and thank the founders when they saw them.

At this point, the entire carriage stood up. All of them bowed respectfully to Jiang Tiesheng and said, "Thank you for the contributions made by the founders to this republic." ”

Jiang Tiesheng hugged his fists at everyone and thanked him, although he had seen a lot of this kind of scene, but every time he faced it, he was still excited.

At this time, the loudspeaker in the carriage sounded the announcer's soft voice: Passengers, the train will enter Tianjin Port Station in five minutesβ€”β€”

Despite his psychological preparations, Wang Zhicheng was still shocked by the Pearl cruise ship. Looking at the photos of the magazine is really different from actually facing it, this is not a boat, it is a mountain!

The Chief Executive was already speechless, and vaguely wanted to kneel. In the past, when I saw in the newspapers that the Japanese and the natives saw the ships of the Republic, they knelt down and saluted, thinking that they were just ignorant. But now I also have the urge to kneel. Ah, this is Liliang, the absolute Liliang!

Sure enough, in the distance, there were dozens of passengers who looked like Japanese people, almost all kneeling on the ground, crying and crying.

Liu Yali looked at them curiously and asked softly, "Zhicheng, what do you think is wrong with the Japanese people?" Wronged? ”

Wang Zhicheng glanced at them and said coldly: "These Japanese people came to Beijing to take the Chinese level 6 test, and after passing, it is easy to become a civil servant when they go back." They were frightened, and this liliang made them desperate. If it weren't for the preservation of cultural diversity, we would have harmonized them long ago. ”

"Didn't you also support the preservation of cultural diversity when we were in school? I remember you were still the main defense ――――――"

"Diversity contributes to the development of our own culture. Intellectually yes, emotionally I really want to be one. Hey, when I was debating this topic, I was only a freshman in college, and we weren't in the same department, how do you remember? I remember when we were about to graduate, we met? Could it be ――――――"

"Stay away from me, nasty, too lazy to pay attention to you."

was about to graduate from her senior year, and seeing that this guy hadn't noticed herself yet, she Liu Yali was forced to design the plot of being knocked off the book by him, and then they got acquainted.

"I will definitely take revenge on him in the future." Liu Yali scolded in her heart.

Liu Yali, who has always been relatively quiet, has a little impulse in her mood, and she can't wait to fly on the cruise ship immediately - I heard that there are supermarkets, beauty salons, and cinemas with complete goods on it. What's more, although I can't attend the premiere of the new movie of movie stars Brigitte Lin and Chow Yun-fat in Beijing, I heard that it will also be shown on the cruise. Listen to the name of the movie, "Don't Cry for Me, Taipei", it must be more touching than the previous "Come to Taipei to See the Rain in Winter". Well, bring two handkerchiefs.

In the VIP lounge of the cruise ship. Jiang Tiesheng, the former minister of industry, met with the jishu experts who accompanied the ship, and in the face of him, the founder, the jishu experts were a little restrained, although most of them were fifty or sixty years old, and they were all top experts in the diesel engine of the republic, which were brought out by the founders themselves.

Jiang Tiesheng was very good at dealing with these people, he didn't greet them and went straight to the point. He pointed to the drawings of the marine diesel generator and said, "I read your report during the sea trials. I'm not an expert in diesel engines, you are, so in the end the problem is up to you. Let's take the first point first, haven't we solved the problem of cylinder liner leakage in six years? ”

As the chief designer of the marine diesel engine generator this time, Wu Jiaming's heart was tight, and the minister really mentioned this first.

At the beginning, they had just successfully imitated a six-cylinder in-line diesel engine with a standby power of 110 kilowatts, and everyone had not woken up from the excitement, and a new task came, requiring them to provide a sixteen-cylinder in-line diesel engine with a maximum power of 1100 kilowatts! There are also various requirements and standards that make their collective scalp tingle.

In the whole ten years, it cost 60 million national dollars, 18 factories cooperated, more than 600 relevant Jishu personnel participated, and two large mechanical computers were used. The founders did not know about the weishenme, none of them helped them, and did not even provide a scrapped sample, as before.

Are they easy?! He wanted to use the dry cylinder liner directly, and he had also seen the 110 kilowatt diesel engine brought by the founders from Antarctica, but the relatively huge volume and complex processing process made all the factories that could finish shake their heads, saying that they could only use a mysterious machine owned by the founders, and they were rejected for help, so they had to use the wet cylinder liner they had mastered, because it was too large, it always had a slight water leakage, and it was easy to form cavities. But fortunately, it doesn't affect life and power too much.

Wu Jiaming sorted out his thoughts and explained the situation.

Jiang Tiesheng said: "Our machining accuracy needs to be improved――――――

"yes. However, it is much stronger than ten years ago―――――― otherwise the most complex crankshaft connecting rods and supercharged rotor sets would not have been able to be machined anyway. There is also the help of high-strength and wear-resistant alloy steel jishu. ”

"The fuel consumption ratio and speed are not fully up to standard?"

"Yes, yes, there is also the issue of volume and weight. Too much noise counts as one. ”

"It's fine. This is the largest generator you've ever produced. Is it possible to mass produce? ”

Wu Jiaming gradually said with shame: "No." After the design was completed, this one was completely processed by us little by little, and it took three years to ......"

"Haha, don't be ashamed, it's the old man who is too anxious! I remember you studied under Sima, right? ”

Wu Jiaming immediately straightened his body, clenched his fists seriously, and said, "Exactly." The family teacher treated me like his own son, and he taught me selflessly what he had learned. The boy will never forget and will seek it all his life. ”

"You're sixty, aren't you? What else can you seek? ”

"There are sixty-one. What the teacher said: Live to be old and learn to be old. Will never forget! ”

Sixty-one-year-old Wu Jiaming seemed to have tears in the corners of his eyes, presumably thinking of his teacher.

Jiang Tiesheng also suddenly remembered his companions back then, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go back first, and summarize the gains and losses of this tackling, and all departments must learn to act together and cooperate with each other, which is the biggest gain." Keep searching――――――"

After everyone left, Jiang Tiesheng said to the secretary: "I'm a little tired, let the other groups report in two days." ”

No matter how beautiful the haode journey is, there is a time when it comes to an end.

After Wang Zhicheng and Liu Yali set foot in Hawaii, their mentality immediately changed from excitement to seriousness.

Hawaii is a national medical recuperation center, where one of the founders, Mr. Li Ziqiang, retired, many founders retired, and citizens who have contributed to and honored honors are also recuperating here.

Two days later, they visited Mr. Li Ziqiang.

"All the people of this shijie should look respectfully to the founders of the Pacific Rim Republic! They saved civilization and gave the people freedom that all shijie had never had. ”

Wang Zhicheng silently recited the praise of the famous European philosopher Spinoza in his heart, and under the leadership of the guards, he and Liu Yali entered Mr. Li Ziqiang's study together.

Mr. Li Ziqiang's hair was as white as snow, and his scarce long hair was delicately tied up and gathered behind him. Dressed in an egg-yellow silk casual suit, he sat leisurely in a rocking chair. Without glasses, he swept over the two young men with a soft gaze. Wang Zhicheng and Liu Yali felt like a spring breeze.

"Haha, what a pair of golden boys and girls. It's a shame to study history――――――"

Both knew that the founder's eyes had long been ――――――, but no one in the whole republic had mentioned it.

The two of them naturally bowed together and said, "Thank you for your contribution to the republic!" ”

If this new chapter can get ten recommendations, or ten favorites, I'll add one more.
