With the approval of the old emperor, Zhu Jingyuan determined the names of the eight new ships, and the design goal lecture was finally over.

Zhu Jingyuan bowed to all the audience and returned to his place in the audience, that is, next to the place where the old emperor was sitting.

The old emperor happily got up and came to the stage and made a general assignment for the specific design and construction work.

The Ship Department of the Ministry of Industry was responsible for the design and construction of two battleships and two cruisers.

The Royal Dockyard was responsible for the design and construction of two aircraft carriers and two destroyers.

However, in addition, it is required that the two sides should cooperate and cooperate at all times in the initial program discussion, and exchange each other's ideas and experiences at any time for each other to use as a design reference.

Zhu Jingyuan is responsible for the final evaluation of all design proposals.

After the relevant matters of the ship design were finally finalized, the old emperor told Zhu Jingyuan to pay attention to the progress of aircraft research and development, and then got up and returned to the palace.

All the officials, craftsmen, and shopkeepers at the scene got up and bowed down to watch the old emperor leave the scene.

Watching the figure of the old emperor disappear, he continued to stand quietly for a few minutes.

After confirming that the old emperor had left the lecture hall building, everyone breathed a sigh of relief one after another.

The scene quickly became noisy, and the craftsmen and officials called friends and chatted and went to the canteen of the Ministry of Industry to eat.

In the afternoon, most of the staff of the government office and the manufacturers left one after another, but the craftsmen of the design department of the Royal Shipyard remained.

Zhu Jingyuan took the design craftsmen of the Ship Division and the design craftsmen of the Royal Shipyard to guide them to draw more accurate sketches on the spot.

Explained in detail the details of the design of the bulbous bow, square stern, cruiser stern, etc., and went to the site of the Ministry of Labor to do several simple pool experiments.

The "Ship Model Experimental Pool" is the most important experimental and research site of the Ship Division, and its status is somewhat similar to that of the wind tunnel in aeronautical engineering.

The towed hull model sails in a pool to simulate and test the ship's resistance, stability, and other performance.

It is a slender pool specially built in a slender enclosed room, surrounded by trailers and various test tools.

Wang Lai, the director of the Ship Department of the Ministry of Industry, took the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry and the craftsmen of the Royal Shipyard to toss in the pool for more than two hours.

A number of paraffin models were continuously measured, and the effects of the design of bulbous bow, square stern and cruiser stern on the sailing resistance of the ship model were observed.

In the end, they came up with a result that was unexpected, but vaguely felt that it should also be reasonable.

Zhu Jingyuan's thoughts are all right.

Whether it is a bulbous bow or a square stern, it can indeed reduce the sailing resistance, that is, it can be used with the same power to achieve greater sailing speed.

However, the tank test of the ship model does not mean that it ends when the direction is correct, but only the beginning of the test and design.

The next step is to study and test more carefully and comprehensively, and to "stabilize" the hull that has changed its alignment.

However, these tasks are in order, and after having the right direction, there will be no worries about tossing, and the work efficiency will be greatly improved.

Zhu Jingyuan, as the proposer of the idea, was once again admired by the craftsmen from the bottom of their hearts.

He always puts forward unexpected ideas, but he always succeeds and verifies his correctness.

Now the young craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry have obvious reverence for Zhu Jingyuan.

Now the craftsmen's requirements for Zhu Jingyuan are basically not perfunctory, and they basically respond to requests.

This will also improve the design efficiency again, but it also makes Zhu Jingyuan a little worried, worried that these craftsmen will form a deep blind obedience mentality.

Therefore, Zhu Jingyuan thought in his heart, how to change the way of communication and turn direct requirements into guided thinking......

But this kind of change is obviously not something that can be completed in a moment and a half, and the method is not so easy to grasp, so you can only take one step at a time.

Zhu Jingyuan continued to explain his impression of the shape of several typical bulbous bows on different ships.

Let them test and explore on their own, looking for designs suitable for use on warships of different sizes and civilian ships, and prepare to install and test on existing warships.

Zhu Jingyuan spoke at the Ministry of Industry for a whole day, and by the time he released the Ministry of Industry in the afternoon, his voice was almost hoarse.

Waiting for his father's car to come to the courtyard of the Ministry of Industry, after Zhu Jingyuan climbed into the car and sat down, he directly collapsed on his back:

"I'm so tired, I feel like my body has been hollowed out......"

Zhu Jianyan motioned for the driver to drive, and at the same time laughed and ridiculed his son:

"Isn't that tiring? I've already done your job for you, otherwise you'll take up the burden of Honglu Temple again? ”

When Zhu Jingyuan heard this, he suddenly felt a little more energetic:

"Father, I think government affairs are much easier than design, government affairs can follow the feeling, and the design has to be more serious in the slightest......"

Zhu Jianyan was speechless for a moment:

"Government affairs are not as simple as you think, and when you start practical training after the negotiations are over, and go to the grassroots level to become a pro-people official, you will know how difficult it is.

"As for design, according to the understanding of fathers, there is a right and wrong after all, but there is no right or wrong in government affairs in many cases."

Zhu Jingyuan suddenly began to quibble:

"That's right, it's because there's no right or wrong, so you can follow your feelings, and with right and wrong, you can't be arbitrary......"

Zhu Jianyan was stunned for three seconds, and then asked with some uncertainty:

"Could it be that you, kid, when you participated in all government affairs before, when you put forward suggestions and ideas, you completely followed your feelings?"

Zhu Jingyuan nodded casually:

"yes, I came here with my mouth open......"

Zhu Jianyan was completely speechless, and he really opened his mouth to come.

If you open your mouth to come here, it's best not to let your ninth uncle know, you're about to be depressed.

Zhu Jianyan shook his head weakly, and then simply asked Zhu Jingyuan a question on the current topic:

"Now Honglu Temple is arguing with Xiyi to discuss the location of the official peace talks.

"It's too westward for us to accept, we don't want to go to negotiate in Xiyi itself, and the Xiyi people don't feel good, as if they are occupied by us.

"It's too east, the Xiyi don't accept it, and we don't think it's good to negotiate in our homeland, and we don't want a group of Xiyi to come to our homeland.

"Between us is the big food area, and there is no big city that is stable enough.

"Moreover, although the Sinai Peninsula belongs to us, it is completely surrounded by Xiyi, and we feel that it is not safe enough.

"Although the Tianzhu Peninsula belongs to Xiyi, it is completely surrounded by us, and Xiyi does not feel safe enough.

"You can open your mouth right now and choose the most suitable place for us to negotiate."

Zhu Jingyuan really opened his mouth and came:

"Since the unit feels that it's not good to be close, then let's find a place far enough, so let's go to the Western Cape Huangzhuang in Nanmozhou to talk.

The Western Cape is the Cape of Good Hope in Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, the land in Cape Town, South Africa, and is now one of the imperial estates of Zhu Ming's royal family.

Zhu Jianyan was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't think about it, and deliberately took a long detour:

"South Mozhou? Cape Estate? It's a long way off, but ...... Actually, it's not particularly far.

"There is more than 12,000 kilometers from Guangdong, more than 11,000 kilometers from London, but there are also more than 10,000 kilometers from Guangdong to the West Sea.

"It seems quite far away from both sides, and the conditions of the Huangzhuang are indeed suitable for negotiations.

"But it's still our territory after all, and the history of that place is very complicated.

"It was first explored by the Portuguese, then it became a colony of the Dutch, and both the Spaniards and the British wanted it, but it eventually came to us.

"This kind of place, Xiyi dare to go, are they willing to go?"

Zhu Jingyuan said a little angrily:

"If they don't want to go at all, then don't talk about it, now we are not particularly afraid of war, if not, we will continue to fight.

"And father, you can adopt the strategy of lifting the roof, and first propose to go to the Baiyun Islands (New Zealand) Huangzhuang in the south of Tiannan to talk.

"That place is the real end of the earth for the Taixi people, and it is more difficult for them to go there than we are to go to Nanyinzhou, and they will definitely not accept it.

"Then let's compromise and go to Nanmozhou, the distance from the mainland of the two sides is about the same, they should be able to accept it."

Zhu Jingyuan thought about it for a while:

"Then I'll try it tomorrow......"
