As soon as Uriya Sutai was taken, the two cores of the entire Mongolia were pacified, and Lin Yuan's disaster relief and reform work was smoother.

Lin Yuan saw that there was nothing to do in Mongolia, so he was ready to return to the Northeast with Shen Wanqing, before returning to the Northeast, Lin Yuan decided to go to Beijing first, and the first thing he did when he arrived in Beijing was to ask the housekeeper Liu San to give Sanduo a gift, saying that he apologized for the Mongolian matter.

Sanduo had no way, he vaguely guessed that the so-called horse bandits were Lin Yuan looking for someone to pretend, but he didn't have the slightest evidence, Lin Yuan apologized, and gave Emperor Guangxu a twist, saying that Mongolia suffered a snowstorm that had not been encountered in a century, and hoped that the imperial court would help to help.

Where can the Qing court manage it, so he put Lin Yuan's fold aside, Lin Yuan of course knew that the Qing court couldn't manage it at all, so he didn't care, and his original intention was not to let the Qing court take care of it, his real intention was to belittle the status of the Qing court, and then win the hearts of the people for himself, Lin Yuan secretly let people spread how he was in Mongolia to help the disaster, so that the people's good impression of Lin Yuan greatly increased.

Lin Yuan paid attention to the international developments again, and the Western countries only expressed concern about the situation in Mongolia, and did not say too much, so Lin Yuan began to implement the establishment of embassies in European countries, and before Lin Yuan went to Mongolia, he had begun to prepare for the location and construction of the embassy, and now the embassies of various countries have been built, just waiting for Lin Yuan to send people.

Lin Yuan had already thought about the selection of the ambassador, he selected a group of people from the people he trained, and sent them to various countries, the ambassador's entourage was basically all intelligence personnel, and they could start working soon after they arrived in Europe and the United States, and Lin Yuan was no longer in the dark about the situation in Europe.

However, the communication cable from France to China has not yet been opened, for the simple reason that there are no ocean-going ships that lay cables, and the shipyard is still in preparation; However, the railway from China to France has been built, and the Russians are still very careful about building a railway in Xinjiang, China.

France also sent a batch of cultural relics back to China, and also sent a theatrical performance team, Lin Yuan also asked the Ulan sisters and some carefully selected people to set off to France, Lin Yuan finished handling the miscellaneous things, and went to the shipyard in Lushun, and finally started to build battleships!

At the Lushun Center of Experts, experts and high-ranking officials from the Beijing ship gathered on November 3, 1896, and on this ordinary day, a new Chinese Navy would be born, and from then on, the fate of China and the world would change radically!

Lin Yuan first said: "Today we have only one topic, that is, what kind of navy do we want to build? Before the meeting, I will give you a briefing on the development of the navy that I have seen in Europe, and for the sake of convenience, I will introduce it in the form of a total score, first introducing the situation of the whole ship, and then introducing the situation of each system of the warship, and after introducing the situation of each subsystem, we will introduce the progress of our research and decide on our naval strategy in comparison. ”

"First of all, let's talk about the progress of the whole ship, when I was in the UK, I saw that the British had built the dreadnought, and like our time, their dreadnoughts adopted the design of 'all-heavy artillery', and the caliber of the large guns was the same, it seems that our preliminary work was not done in vain, and the development of the Shilu Navy was indeed led by us to the road of cannon giant ships."

"Introducing the complete ship, I will introduce the various subsystems, first of all, the power system, when I was in England, I visited the navigation test of their dreadnought, and the result was that their dreadnought easily ran at a speed of twenty knots, and with a piston steam engine, it would not be able to run at such a speed anyway, so I concluded that their warship must be equipped with a steam turbine."

"Not only that, when I visited the dreadnought, I didn't find a coal bunker, and there was no trace of cinders on the deck, we also saw it when we used the captured Japanese warships, there were a lot of cinders and dust on them, and it was difficult to wash them all off no matter how they were cleaned, so I think that the British Navy is already using oil as fuel, and my guess is not unreasonable, we saw when we captured the Japanese transport, and their ships were already equipped with gasoline-burning engines."

"Another component of the power system is the propeller, as we all know, the propeller is a tool for direct propulsion of the ship, which has a very large impact on the speed of the ship and the efficiency of the main engine, but it is a pity that the British blocked the propeller with a shield when the dreadnought was launched, so they used the most basic propeller? Or a more advanced range-adjustable propeller? We don't know. ”

When Lin Yuan said this, he made a gesture of invitation to Wan Ling, a ship expert, and said: "Now we have asked Academician Wan Ling to introduce the latest achievements of the ship power system to us. ”

Everyone burst into applause, Wan Ling stood up and smiled at everyone, and then said: "I am engaged in ship design, ship design does not include power system design, what we have to do is: choose the power system that has been built, since Xiao Lin asked me to say, then I have to go beyond the bounds." ”

"Kobayashi also mentioned just now that the British used steam turbine technology, and I can be pleased to tell you that we have mastered the gas turbine technology, and the British steam turbine needs water as working fluid, and our gas turbine can use air as working fluid, eliminating the need for seawater purification system, which is of great benefit to the weight reduction of warships."

"Our ship gas turbine is also modified from the turbofan-30 engine used in the J-25 fighter, I heard Academician Liao Ming say that the aero engine is a kind of gas turbine, which can be modified into a lot of power machinery, we have modified a few for power generation, and now we have overcome a series of technical difficulties, and the turbofan-30 has been converted into a marine gas turbine."

"The gas turbine does not need to turn water into water vapor, which saves a thermodynamic change process, so the thermal efficiency is much higher than that of the steam turbine, and it saves a lot of fuel than the steam turbine under the same conditions, which is a big improvement in endurance, and our gas turbine can make our 10,000-ton warship reach a speed of 30 knots, and it can form an aircraft carrier battle group with an aircraft carrier!"

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "After introducing the power system, I will introduce the weapon system to you, the dreadnought has already used large-caliber artillery, according to my visual observation, the caliber is more than three hundred millimeters, this is artillery, as for the shells, I have seen the armor-piercing shells when I was in Germany, and I have reason to believe that the British are fully capable of equipping similar armor-piercing shells." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Do you think I want to ask our artillery expert, Academician Luo Chaoying, to introduce our artillery progress?" Hehe, everyone guessed wrong, I think so, we still widely equip the army with this kind of equipment, and as for the navy, we will be in place in one step and directly equip large ship-to-ship missiles! ”
