…

"It looks like this, it's not very big." Lu Min looked at the model of the steel battleship placed on the platform, and looked at Gongsun Yu with some emotion.

Gongsun Yu smiled calmly, and nodded on the spot about this.

"Lu Yuanzheng, this is also something that can't be helped, after all, the investment is different, and the final result is naturally different..."Gongsun Yu said slowly the difference between the two families.

Although both the Gongsun family and the Lu family successfully verified the feasibility of the steel battleship, there were major disagreements about the construction of the steel battleship.

What the Gongsun family prefers is to grow from small to large, relying on experience to gradually accumulate and make continuous progress.

Start by making small steel ships, and then gradually expand them as you gain experience.

Although the speed will be very slow, it is stable enough, the initial investment is low, the continuous investment is high, and there is a complete experience accumulation process.

The Lu family is different, only huge can be strong, and all problems, as long as they appear, there must be a solution.

So there is no need to hesitate to build a large steel battleship directly, regardless of whether there will be problems, Lu Jun believes that he will definitely be able to solve the problem.

As the head of a shipbuilding family, he has this self-confidence and believes that he has this ability.

When he knew the difference between the two families, Lu Min couldn't help but shake his head.

He hasn't figured out the power system so far, and even if he really gets the big steel battleship out, he can't drive it away.

Relatively speaking, small steel warships may also have the value of driving away.

However, compared with large warships, small steel warships will be much lower in terms of defense, cargo capacity, or ocean-going capabilities.

In this case, Lu Min actually agrees with another theory.

That is a warship that mixes steel and wood and adopts key protection.

Steel is used to reinforce and protect the vital or lethal parts of the ship, while other parts are made of wood.

It can not only ensure the size of the ship, but also ensure that the defense of the ship is relatively high, and can also reduce the weight of the ship, so that it will not be too heavy, resulting in a bad speed.

And Liu Tong, who was in Fenggao City, according to Gongsun Yu's explanation, directly picked up the pen and began to calculate.

According to the current steel production of Qingzhou Mine and the actual value of steel, it is judged whether the real cost of a steel warship is within the acceptable range.

After all, if you really want to cast a steel battleship according to the market price of steel, the data on the surface alone is enough to make her father struggle.

A 30,000-ton steel warship is worth more than 45 billion and a half baht on paper alone.

Regardless, this face value is too high.

However, the actual value of steel is only the labor cost.

In the Qingzhou mine, in addition to the need to pay the workers to start work, the maintenance and maintenance costs of some equipment are basically negligible.

The labor cost of refining 30,000 tons of steel is really a drop in the bucket compared to the market price of steel, which is negligible.

"It's a pity, after all, the production capacity is still not enough..."Liu Tong simply calculated the steel output and the production cycle of steel warships, and finally could only shake his head.

After all, steel is not only used in one department, whether it is the military or agriculture, the demand for steel is not a few.

In this case, the Navy, which has not shown any results, is unlikely to get a share of the Army, even though it belongs to the same military.

And there is such a thing as steel production, before a certain ceiling is reached, there will be an outrageous situation.

That is, the higher the steel production, the higher the demand for steel, as if there would never be enough steel.

"Miss, isn't the production enough?" When Lu Yu heard this, he looked at Liu Tong with some doubts, and then said, "If the output is not enough, you can add people, or increase the place of production..."

Lu Yu recalled what he had been exposed to during this time, thought about it for a while, and said slowly.

Liu Tong heard Lu Yu's words, and nodded quite calmly, she naturally understood this aspect.

But there are some things that you can't add if you want to.

It's like the Qingzhou mine, where more than 30,000 people work at the same time, but the annual steel output does not exceed 30,000 tons, and this share of steel simply cannot meet the needs of various sectors.

After all, the construction area of the steel plant is not unlimited expansion, and in the current situation, there are many hidden constraints.

"Rain, these methods you mentioned are indeed conventional ways to deal with insufficient production, but for output constraints, it is not the easiest direction on these surfaces, or other constraints..."Liu Tong shook his head slowly, and said quite calmly.

After all, there is such a thing as a steel battleship, and the steel needed is really much.

And in this world with the secret art of cloud qi, a single steel battleship cannot maintain its supremacy on the ocean.

Especially in this era, the supremacy of Kushan on the ocean is like a high mountain, which can look down on every challenger.

As for the large number of steel warships, it is natural to be able to get the corresponding advantages, but the cost of steel and the quantity needed can only be thought about.

Lu Yu nodded calmly and showed a smile.

"Miss, since one place has reached the upper limit, can it be changed to another place?" Lu Yu thought as much as he could, and asked with a little speculation.

When Liu Tong heard this, he instantly understood that it was dark under the lamp, and then showed a smile and said happily, "I forgot about this!" ”

has taken Jizhou, which is equivalent to connecting Bingzhou and Youzhou, in this case.

Whether it is built in Bingzhou or in Youzhou, there is no problem.

Bingzhou has abundant raw materials, whether it is coal or steel, the quantity is not a few, and the difficulty of obtaining is low, and the coverage area is relatively wide, and large-scale construction is also feasible.

The large-scale, multi-regional, and distributed construction of steel plants will inevitably have a much higher production capacity than that of Qingzhou mines.

It's just that external transportation is more troublesome, but it's just more troublesome.

If it is manufactured in Youzhou, it can be transported by sea to carry out large-tonnage goods.

The corresponding raw materials are also quite rich for this era.

The only thing to worry about is that these two places, after all, belong to the border states and counties, and if a Hu person goes south and drops the steel factory, it will be too late to cry.
