"Oh~~ There is such a good thing here? This is a model of a previous battleship? ”

"This is not a model, this is the Pinghai, a meritorious ship in the era of sail battleships. Those who contributed to the great war that year, when the Iberian technological barbarians had not yet been exterminated, they were able to organize a fleet that could compete with the king's division. However, at that time, they only had dual-purpose ships like the Galen ship, and the warships of the Wang Division were all real warships. In the Battle of Gibraltar, their last fight was wiped out by the Longjiang Naval Division, which used this type of capital ship at that time. Isn't it in the book? ”

"Ahh I didn't take it, it was a history class I didn't take. ”

"It doesn't matter, just memorize it before the exam, otherwise you won't be able to write a strategy. At that time, Wang Shi's warships were all such Fuship-type battleships - not Fuship, but Fuchuan battleships, all of which had been transformed into warships. Compared to the bulky Galen ships, our ships use advanced hard sails, so only half the sailors are needed to steer a fast 5-masted battleship. The king's sailors were thus able to concentrate an entire fleet on a local battlefield to destroy their sentinels. Wang Shi used the method of 'Ling Chi' to gradually compress those high-tech barbarian warships back to the Strait of Gibraltar, and then decided the victory in a battle when the time, place, and people were all right. ”

"So our ship is faster?"

"Yes, even now. The world's martial arts are unbreakable, only fast and unbreakable. Those techno-savage barbarians can make comical barrel-like ships with more than a hundred cannons. But they could only build so many ships despite their best efforts, and the other warships were not up to the average level of the king's master at all. Therefore, when Wang Shi used the building ship to bombard those hundred-gun ships, the Pinghai as the leading ship of the sentinel turned to the side, and a salvo burst the ammunition depot of the 'Holy Trinity'. The Pinghai was retired as a meritorious ship and has been placed here ever since. ”

"Just keep it in the water?"

"Hmm... I've heard that I can't take it out anymore. 30 years ago, I wanted to change places, but as soon as I was salvaged from the water, it began to fall apart, so I had to leave it in the same place. ”

"Well said." There was applause behind him, "So we have a saying in engineering: don't touch it if you can use it." ”

"Ah, Chief Wu. How did you get out? ”

"I've put everything else on hold this afternoon, and I'm here to receive you. Come, come in and say. ”

...

Entering the inner room, Director Wu set up chairs next to a long table for them. I didn't slack off because I was a child.

The clerk who led the way just now brought them tea: it was Coke, and a small plate of mung bean cake.

"I know you don't like tea, so I went to Coke. Then in it, you don't need to call me a job title, just call me a senior. I'm a teenager your senior, and I used to graduate from school. ”

"Oh~~ Senior, how much do you have now?" Qi Yuan immediately asked.

Director Wu almost got stuck in a sip of tea: "You elementary school girl is really... It's really on point, and you really should ask, because you might come to work. Our Longjiang Shipyard will go to major colleges and universities to recruit, and when the time comes, we will report your middle school, and the recruiter will know. If you are successfully hired, the basic salary will be set at about 12 taels per month according to the monthly salary of the eighth grade official. ”

"And what about the future?" By the way, she asked about the prospects for development.

"Within ten years, it will slowly rise to between 20 taels and 30 taels, and then it depends on fate. If you can pass the assessment of level 6 fitters, you can have 40 taels. Level 8 fitters can be set at more than 50 taels, but that is already the realm of legends, and I remember that there are quite a few in the palace. There are only two masters in the shipyard who are about to retire - but at this level, the salary doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, the shipyard covers food and housing, and it doesn't cost much money. If you want to go into politics, you can also do it, but the most salary is in the shipyard, after all, our first-line manufacturing facilities are the richest places, and there are not a lot of additional benefits in addition to the basic salary. The court is very clear, and you can't get a few dollars. ”

"What are you, senior?"

"Ahh Actually, I'm less than 12 taels. Although I am a supervisor, I am only sent here by the imperial court to take care of the accounts. Although I studied well in school when I was in middle school, I didn't work hard in college that year, so I could only go to the yamen to make a living, and finally I was in my 30s before I mixed in with the Jinshi at the end of the top three. I went around in a big circle before I finally got back to the shipyard. The two juniors don't learn from me, and they have to study hard when they get to college. This is my advice to you as a senior. Although I don't starve to death, I'm just a gangster, and I'm getting farther and farther away from the truly great cause. ”

"Uh-huh." Qi Yuan nodded again and again.

"Tell me about you, then. This sponsorship – I'll talk about it first. For a long time, the shipyard's sponsorship to the Longjiang team is the top level, and we give it in accordance with the top sponsorship stipulated by the Ministry of Industry, and we can't give more. So the amount is never a problem, the question is how the money should be spent. I reviewed the report submitted by Lu Xuemei in advance, and I don't know how much you know about the 'continuous variable transmission package' you requested? ”

"The continuously variable drive set – also known as the continuously variable gearbox – is the supreme mechanical beauty. It can keep the engine itself in the best working condition and maintain the peak of the torque range. With it, we can save time changing gears and keep the engine running at full power from the start, giving us a head start in the race. ”

"Well, you don't have a problem with what you think about the app. But I have to give you an analysis from the point of view of display: this set of continuously variable gearboxes was originally developed by Longjiang Shipyard for amphibious combat vehicles. Because amphibious combat vehicles have to deal with complex situations at sea and on land, traditional transmissions can be too bulky and inefficient. That's why you have a continuously variable gearbox that can switch between high speeds at sea and high torques on land at any time. However, it is now in the experimental stage. It's driven by a complex steel belt, and if you use an engine that's too powerful, it can greatly reduce its lifespan. ”

"Yes, we've already calculated. We specially borrowed a 12-cylinder aero engine from Wuhu, and the continuously variable transmission can only be used for 4 hours in this case. It will be scrapped after 4 hours. In other words, if you count the test time, each gearbox can only run one stop. ”

"It seems that you already have a full understanding. So even if it's 4 hours, do you have to give it a go? The remaining budget is only enough for you to provide 5 sets. ”

"Enough. We have to take all the plunge here. ”

"Good." Director Wu nodded, "I trust the judgment of front-line professionals. ”

"That's it, okay?" This situation was even a little unexpected by Qi Yuan. She thought she needed to explain more.

"Alright, let's go sign it." He motioned for Qi Yuan to go with the clerk beside him and go to the accountant to sign the words.

Shang Luo stood up and was about to follow-

"You stay, I have something to say."

...

"So, you're Shang Luo, right?" Chief Wu sat in place, and this time Shang Luo sat opposite.

"Yes... It's me. Is there something you can do? ”

"Introduce yourself." He took out a jade plaque, "Jinyi Weibei Town, Wu Jiu, they told me to watch Lao Jiu of the shipyard." ”

"What you just said..."

"It's all true, I won't lie to the schoolgirl, it's all true. I was recruited as a qi practitioner, and it took me a long circle to get back to the shipyard I wanted to enter when I was a child, and my salary was really less than 12 taels. But her request was a bit paranoid, and I would have had to review it before agreeing to it - and I probably wouldn't say no. But if you weren't here, I wouldn't have said yes so much. As for the reason..."

He pointed upwards: "There is an order from above, let me cooperate with your work as much as possible." So I've cooperated with you as much as possible within the scope of the rules. ”

"Ahh Thanks a lot. ”

"Don't thank me. I heard that General Bai Feng is going to invite you to dinner tonight? Keep it up. He should direct you in the building of your foundation, and our hope is in you. ”

"Hmm." Shang Luo nodded, "I will." ”

"Say something happy, don't stress too much. Do you know why Jinyiwei specially sent someone to Longjiang Shipyard to sit in town? Come, I'll show you something good. ”

Walking to the edge of the floor-to-ceiling window, he pointed to the dock where it was:

Surrounded by red scaffolding, there is a huge battleship like a mountain. The battleship was still under construction, but the main guns were already in place. However, the main gun is more than just a barrel. The golden lines are intertwined on the barrel of the gun, forming a mysterious array. At the top of the bridge, a phoenix spreads its wings in a golden wheel of light, and the outline of its wings and the wheel form two concentric circles.

"That's... Battleship? ”

"The super battleship 'Renshan' is under construction. The golden lines you see are divine chrome. It's the same armor you saw in the Nishiki's storeroom. Although I don't know the principle for the time being, it is a secret weapon that can destroy the celestial beings in the foundation building period. ”

"Even the heavens and men can be killed? Why build this weapon? Could it be..."

"This is Dao Ancestor's order. Dao Ancestor anticipated the coming rainstorm, and we needed to prepare for the rainy day. Conventional means can't kill the celestials, so let's make a big one and put it on the battleship. And only a battleship can bear the huge weight of the god chrome - the lines you see are actually just flakes of gold leaf, attached to the barrel of the gun. In total, I didn't use a fist-sized amount of divine chrome, but it was almost crushing the bracket. I don't know why it was built, but Dao Ancestor has his own reasons. Do you know what I'm thinking? ”

He looked at Shang Luo: "I'm thinking, if just such a little Divine Chrome can fight against the Celestials, then how did that set of Divine Chrome armor in the treasury come from." Who put it in the storeroom, and how did you open it? So, you don't have to worry, your chances are very big, and General Bai Feng will prepare the cultivation plan for you tonight. Perhaps, General Bai Feng will have to learn something from you. ”
