Chapter 63: Horan

"This is the submarine?" Huo Shan couldn't help but ask with a smile as soon as he saw a light gray submarine moored not far away, half-exposed cigar-shaped steel hull, as soon as he entered the gate of the factory.

"Yes, it took me three years to design him!" Hearing the contempt in Huo Shan's tone, a strange Chinese voice came from behind him!

A middle-aged white man dressed in blue sè overalls, covered with oil, and his hair had obviously not been washed for a long time, and he was messy like a chicken nest, appeared in front of him.

"You're Mr. John Holland, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am!" Although it was surprising that the kid in front of him didn't seem to be very old and spoke English fluently, he couldn't forgive this guy who laughed at his work!

Seeing the trace of unhappiness flashing in his eyes, Huo Shan couldn't help but smile and said disapprehantly: "Hello, my name is Huo Shan! Maybe your name will often be seen in the submarine information you receive!"

"You are Huo Shan?"

Hearing his words, Holland couldn't help but scream, and his eyes widened suddenly! He really couldn't believe that he could have so many guys on submarines, who were clever and advanced in design thinking, and actually looked like a teenager who looked like he was only eleven or twelve years old! "God, is it April Fool's Day?" Holland couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.

"That's right, it's like a fake! Moreover, I don't think that there are many people in this world called Huo Shan, and how many people can come here?" Although he was scared enough by his cold shout, Huo Shan still replied quickly.

"Are you the Son of God?" John Holland couldn't help but ask, looking at the boy in front of him who was several times younger than him, he suddenly felt that the talent he was proud of was really not worth mentioning in front of this young man, and he had lived to a dog for the past forty years!

Hearing his words, Huo Shan couldn't help but touch his nose, how could every scientist who was dug up by him from all over the world and get the dragon's lair say this after seeing him! But this is obviously not the time to pursue this!

After asking the sentence just now, John Holland realized that he had just been too rude! After all, this kind of thing is impossible to think about! Moreover, such a question is also obviously disrespectful to the hard work of others in exchange for his own outstanding talent! After all, there is nothing in the world that is not earned for nothing!

"I'm sorry, please forgive me for what I just said, your knowledge is really amazing!" "Gringo is like this, as long as you are more capable than him, then you will be respected immediately! Of course, surrendering to the strong is also a kind of human nature! Otherwise, there would not be so many dynastic states in the history of mankind!

"It's okay! I came here just to see what the submarine designed by Mr. Holland looks like!" Huo Shan smiled and waved his hand, saying disappreciatively.

"Really, then you can come with me!" he said and walked in front with his legs raised, leading the way for Huo Shan and his party!

"To tell you the truth, the various designs you have provided about submarines are really too classic! However, with the current science and technology and processing capabilities, many advanced equipment that can greatly enhance the combat capability of submarines cannot be realized on the current submarines! Of course, one of the most crucial problems in this is the motive of the submarine! The power of the current internal combustion engine is generally about 50 horsepower, which cannot propel the hull of hundreds of tons to sail over long distances! Moreover, the current battery cannot provide enough power when the submarine is sailing underwater! Therefore, we have no way to build a large-tonnage ocean-going submarine! Moreover, because of the gap in technology and materials, the design of the double-hull of the submarine cannot be realized at present! However, compared with the previous submarines, I have already installed elevators and periscopes on this new submarine! Now it is capable of torpedoing under water! It initially has underwater combat capability! In addition, it has a 37mm speed gun on its deck, and the submarine can also conduct artillery battles when it surfaces!" When he talked about the submarine, Horan was as excited as if he had taken chūn medicine, and he talked endlessly.

"Mr. Holland, tell me about this submarine, I think it seems to be very advanced!"

Although being interrupted by others made him a little unhappy, he immediately recovered his strength after mentioning the xìng energy of this submarine!

"This submarine I call 'Holland 2', using the gasoline engine and battery based on the dual propulsion system you mentioned, the length of the boat is 13.6 meters, the displacement is 30 tons, the underwater battery as the power can reach 4 knots 30 nautical miles, the surface gasoline engine as the power can reach 5 knots 100 nautical miles! In addition, the alloy steel of his shell is better than I imagined, and the compressive strength is high, which can make the submarine dive to 24 meters! In addition, it has a torpedo tube in the bow, and with the addition of the guns mounted on the submarine, it is already capable of real combat! Of course, the current Holland 2 submarine is still very imperfect, but I believe that it is the most advanced submarine in the world now!" Holland proudly introduced himself to everyone while standing on the light gray steel deck of the submarine.

After watching him open the cover of the submarine and skillfully drill in, Huo Shan also had to endure the pungent smell of engine oil and walk down the iron stairs.

To tell the truth, the submarine at this time was still too primitive! The chaotic wires and the disorderly layout inside the submarine made it impossible for Huo Shan, who had come down, to find even the slightest concept of a submarine in later generations! If it weren't for Huo Shan's desire to train his own submariners and train his own submarine officers, he would not have built a submarine at this time! Of course, the submarine for experiments must still be built! There is absolutely no reason to give up this kind of underwater weapon.

The hull is only a dozen meters inside is too narrow, after getting into two people, there is not much space at all, it is difficult to imagine what it will be like to fight in it, of course, in this era when there is no ergonomics, as long as this thing has combat effectiveness, who cares!

Now that it was almost April in Taiwan, the weather outside was already very high, and Huo Shan really couldn't stand it if he got into this stuffy jar again! So, after just turning around inside, he quickly climbed out.

Now that he saw the rudimentary device inside, Huo Shan no longer had the idea of driving the submarine out for a spin when he came! However, the development of the submarine still needs to be supported, so Huo Lan agreed to increase R&D funds!

After Huo Shan got out of the submarine, he went around this small shipyard a few more times, and chatted with the soldiers stationed here for a while, the sky outside was already dark! Therefore, Huo Shan and his party stayed in the dormitory here for one night at night!

"Young Master, where are we going next?" Sitting in the carriage, Li Yunfeng asked with a smile.

Huo Shan looked at the beautiful scenery outside the train that was rapidly retreating, and replied with some curiosity: "Let's go to the dragon's lair!"

It has been almost a year since the establishment of the Dragon's Den Base last year! In the past year, its expansion has not stopped! Moreover, its laboratories have also developed from the initial electromagnetic laboratory and power laboratory to the current natural science laboratories such as physics laboratories, chemical laboratories, and biological laboratories, as well as electrical engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, mining engineering, and other natural science laboratories. There are nearly 10,000 researchers in applied science laboratories, including civil engineering laboratories, agricultural laboratories and pharmaceutical laboratories, and 154 laboratories.

Of course, the scale of the entire Dragon's Lair is getting bigger and bigger, and there are not only scientists robbed by Huo Shan from all over the world, but also scientific research talents from various countries who were directly poached by Huo Shan from all over Europe with high salaries, as well as some college students from Taiwan University!

With so many people gathered here, and their families, the size of the Dragon's Lair is almost 50,000 people, but now its scale is still expanding!

In order to protect the secrets here from being leaked out, the zhōngyāngjǐng Wei Yi Division was directly stationed here, and nearly 20,000 people surrounded the place, only Huo Shan or Xu Jianyin's warrant could enter and exit the dragon's lair, and the others could not even be the prime minister Huang Sheng!

Of course, in order to ensure that so many people live here, Huo Shan has also made great efforts in the Dragon's Den! Not only has he put all the scientific knowledge in his computer into the data room here, so that these people can do research! Moreover, a small city with complete facilities will be directly built in the Dragon's Den! In addition, every scientist who works here can have a good education here and can join the Dragon's Den research room when they grow up! Of course, they can also choose to work or farm in this small city! Because Huo Shan has already encircled the surrounding area of nearly fifty kilometers into the scope of the Dragon's Lair Base!

Of course, these people can't be kept in captivity forever, here Huoshan has established a series of lifting the ban for a series of years, when each scientist's research project no longer needs to be kept strictly secret, he will be allowed to leave, to teach at the university or to other relatively Zìyóu scientific research units, of course, even if he leaves here, he will live in China forever until death!
