On November 25, 1894, a British transport ship laden with steel-smelting equipment sailed into the port of the Ryukyus, bringing news of the battle between the German fleet and the Beiyang fleet.

This news surprised Lin Yuan, he had no idea that their crossing would have such a great impact on the progress of history.

During the month, he had to solve a lot of problems. First of all, there is the status of the Beijing ship, if they are outside the national system, then there will inevitably be problems in the long run, so Lin Yuan and Shang Tai decided to divide a certain area of Naha Port into a special administrative region, handed over to the Beijing ship management, and the external name is set as "Naha Technology Development Zone". Economically, the port area is engaged in industrial production, and a percentage of the revenue goes to the Ryukyu government.

Second, there is the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation of the personnel on the ship, the living space of the cabins on the ship is small, and it is not suitable for personnel to live in peacetime, so when the Beijing ship docked, it was already arranged for the older engineers and scientists on the ship to live ashore. As for the issue of food, as the old saying goes, the sea eats the sea, so the ship decided to buy seafood from the fishermen near the port, and the government of the Ryukyu Kingdom borrowed a part of the money first, and then returned it after the port area had industrial products.

Thirdly, there is the ideological problem of the personnel on the ship, who have left their relatives and friends and come to this strange era, and everyone's heart is inevitably sad, and this emotion is not easy to reflect in battle, and in peacetime, this sad mood will inevitably spread among the crowd. Fortunately, everyone expressed their understanding of the current situation, and when they encountered this kind of time and space that modern physics cannot explain, they had to settle down with the encounter, so the crew of the ship actively engaged in various tasks.

The last is the statistics of weapons and equipment, because in this era weapons and equipment can not get sufficient supplies, use a little less, so we must be careful to calculate, take the aero engine as an example, the use time of the whole machine can not exceed a certain number of flight hours, and the engine blades, whether it is compressor blades or turbine blades, must use observation equipment to observe cracks after the flight, once cracks appear, the blades must be replaced.

Some fighters asked, why bother to count these things, we flew directly to Japan, to Europe, to the United States, and to blow up their industrial base!

When Lin Yuan heard this point of view, he thought he was joking, but when he asked, he realized that some people really thought so, so he had to explain, what is the industrial base? It is not just a few factories, mines, these are just a small part of the industrial base, the larger part is scientific researchers, university professors, students who are the mainstay of the industrial base, and more importantly: the huge demand for industrialization in the market.

Even if you could raze people's factories and mines, you wouldn't be able to kill everyone who knew how to do science! As long as these people are there, as long as the market demand is there, they will continue to build factories and everything that industry needs!

And the Beijing ship, after the weapons and equipment are exhausted, there is nowhere to replenish, which is the most fundamental reason why Lin Yuan wants to develop his own industry!

While the officers and men on the ships in Beijing were busy with various things, the news of the Sino-German war, the Qing court's indemnity, and Deng Shichang's exile reached the Ryukyus.

When Lin Yuan heard the news, he couldn't help but feel excited, and a plan gradually formed in his mind: bring Deng Shichang to Ryukyu and let him train the personnel and use those captured Japanese warships.

Lin Yuan said this idea, everyone on the ship felt that it was very ingenious, and everyone unanimously agreed, and finally decided to let Shen Wanqing accompany Lin Yuan to Taiwan.

Shen Wanqing and Zhang Hua were in charge of setting up the Naha District Secrecy Office, which was said to be a secrecy office, but in fact it was far from the scale imagined, for no other reason than the fact that there were too few personnel, so at present they could only train special agents with the comrades of the Beijing Ship's Secrecy Group as the core.

The two haven't seen each other for a month, and they are very happy to meet each other. Shen Wanqing first asked, "Where are we going to find Deng Shichang?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I think so, let's go to Keelung to find it first, how can he say that he is also the pipe band of the Beiyang Fleet, the level is not low, it should not be difficult to find him." ”

As soon as Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing arrived in Keelung, they found that the streets and alleys were talking about the Sino-German naval battle, and they all regretted Deng Shichang.

It was not so much detention as house arrest, and the place of detention was a large mansion of a squire, in which a quiet courtyard was vacated, and Deng Shichang's wife and children did not follow, so he lived alone.

When they came to the house, they found that there was an endless stream of visitors, most of whom were well-known gentry from some place, and the officials did not dare to come here to visit a criminal minister, but the visitors were stopped by the soldiers at the door, who called the visitors aside and whispered a few words, and the men went away in a panic.

Lin Yuan stopped a rejected person and asked with a smile: "This brother, why didn't Deng Guandao see you?" ”

The man looked panicked and waved his hand again and again, as if he had seen something terrible and left without saying anything.

When Lin Yuan was puzzled, Shen Wanqing said: "I think these people seem to be stumped by something. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "According to my observations, the soldier guarding the door seems to have asked the visitor a few questions, but the visitor couldn't answer, so he left. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What kind of question will the soldiers ask?" It's going to make these people look uneasy. ”

Shen Wanqing smiled: "Well, you wait, I'll take a look, and come back to tell you, you can be prepared." ”

She looked at Lin Yuan, who was full of puzzlement, tapped her lips with her fingers, and said with a smile: "I can tell what he said from a person's lip movements." ”

So Lin Yuan waited on the side, and after a while, Shen Wanqing came back with a disappointed face and said, "I don't understand, they don't seem to be speaking Mandarin." ”

Lin Yuan looked at her cute appearance, couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's okay, I don't believe that he, a person in the 19th century, can ask any questions that I, a person in the 21st century, can't answer." ”

Lin Yuan stepped forward, and the soldiers politely invited him aside, and said a few words in Hokkien dialect, Lin Yuan frowned, and asked in Mandarin, "What did you say?" ”

When the soldier heard this, he immediately changed to Mandarin and said with a smile: "If you want to see Deng Guandao, you have to answer me a question." ”

Lin Yuan was full of confidence and asked, "Please speak." ”

The soldier smiled and said, "Daqing, where will we go?" ”

As soon as this question came out, Lin Yuan immediately understood why those people were panicking, this kind of question seemed to be a big rebellion at the time, and it was necessary to lose his head when he talked about this issue.

Lin Yuan was stunned by this question, this question had been hovering in his mind for a long time, but he never knew what to do, to go to the Qing court to be a minister of Zhongxing? When pigs fly! It is even more impossible to fight in Beijing to be the emperor, after all, it is a person of the 21st century, and the concept of a republic has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow. In his opinion, dealing with the Qing government is no less difficult than allowing the fleet to travel back to the 21st century.

So Lin Yuan didn't speak for a long time, other people couldn't answer because they didn't dare to think about it, Lin Yuan couldn't answer because he thought too much, but the soldier guarding the door didn't care about this, the soldier stretched out his hand very politely and said, "This gentleman, please go back." ”

Lin Yuan saw that he was rejected like this, his heart moved, and a way to see Deng Shichang suddenly jumped out of his mind, he smiled disdainfully, and said: "You go and ask Deng Guan a question, he has been commanding warships for half his life, you go and ask him, does he understand the navy?" ”
