Chapter 361: Before the War, Part I
The morning sun was golden and a little hot. Before you know it, it's summer.
Zhang Hao sighed leisurely while thinking about the country's strategy last night, looking at the rising sun. I have been in this world for more than a year.
The train stopped for a while in the county town of Ninghe County, Zhang Hao got off the train, Zhang Hao walked to the headquarters of Dayang Group, and issued an order to convene a general meeting of shareholders, which was held at 17 o'clock in the evening.
Now Ninghe County has been assigned to the Zhang family, and the second uncle Zhang Shengye has been honored as the city lord, but the foundation of the Zhang family is still by the sea.
After meeting with the second uncle, Zhang Hao returned to the family and inspected all the research of the Zhang family, as well as the industry of the Dayang Group.
In the dock of the Zhang family, there are four steel warships under construction. The other one that belonged to the country of Canglan had already sailed away. From now on, the country of Canglan finally has its own steel battleship.
But what really cared Zhang Hao was that in the first dock, a different warship was under construction, and part of the keel had been laid. The battleship has a completely new technology - welding!
A few months have passed, and with the help of the knowledge obtained from the Red Lotus Sect, and the recent absorption of several outstanding talents by the Zhang family, they have finally come up with complete and excellent welding technology.
However, the welding technology that has just started is a bit slow.
If it is riveting, everyone will smash it down with a few hammers, but the current welding technology needs a little bit of welding, and it needs to be checked again after welding, and even needs to be identified with identification techniques to see if there are cracks, pores and so on.
Compared with the mature riveting technology, the welding technology still needs a little time to accumulate. At this time, almost all the important technicians of the Zhang family were here, and Huang Mingshan and others got together to struggle again.
However, welding technology is still in its infancy and is already showing excellent potential. Zhang Hao opened a hang by the way, and pointed out the technical techniques of surfacing - Zhang Hao pointed out only the techniques and directions, and the specific technical means need to be carefully studied.
Hardfacing welding is one of the necessary technologies for welding large components. This is also the technology that Huang Mingshan and others are studying now. It's just that with the current technology and technology of the Zhang family, as well as the reserve of outstanding talents, it is still a little difficult to build a battleship completely with welding technology.
Zhang Hao looked at it for a while, stepped forward, and said to the busy crowd, "Everyone, stop for a moment, I have an idea." Nowadays, the welding technology is a little slow, and I think that the keel of the battleship can be used. And the outer armor can be riveted for the time being. superstructure, etc., with the help of screws. This can speed up the construction a lot. ”
All should be.
Then Zhang Hao came to a young man and said with a smile, "Cold wind and snow, are you still used to the environment here?"
Leng Fengxue is one of the few outsiders that the Zhang family has recently absorbed. It is the talent that the Ocean Group fleet 'picked up' from the Immortal Heaven Luo Sect.
This is a shy young man with an excellent heritage, who is already in the late stage of the Jindan period at a young age, and was picked up by the Ocean Group in the Turquoise Continent, the Immortal Heavenly Luo Sect Territory, and Kirishima. At that time, this person was being chased and killed by his senior brother and several classmates, and when he was rescued, he was almost dying.
Leng Feng Xue has the inheritance of the Demon Dao Refinery, and after more than two months of testing and inspection, it was finally absorbed by the Zhang family. Facts have proved that this decision has brought an opportunity for the Zhang family. Leng Feng Xue perfectly solves the problem of welding with the unique refining means and methods of the Demon Dao.
Leng Fengxue's somewhat shy and lonely face showed a little smile. "Everybody was very nice to me. ”
Zhang Hao patted Leng Fengxue's arm vigorously, "Don't worry, it won't be long before you can return beautifully and make those people regret it!
Zhang Hao inspected the technical and engineering progress of the dockyard again, and then came to a new secret base in the middle of nowhere. Under the cover of the formation enchantment, on an iron tower about thirty meters high, lightning flashed and thundered. In the tower, a practitioner is turning into an infant.
Around the tower, there are still many people who are practicing. There are also many people at the peak of the Jindan period, waiting in line here. The 1,000 people sent by the Dayang Group to the Xuanzhen Sect were sent here whenever they were about to break through.
In this base, the aura is purified by thunder and lightning again and again, and it becomes a good place to break the level. In particular, the children of the Beidou Academy also practice here.
However, the children's practice positions were isolated and they could not see the scene here. This not only keeps the matter confidential, but also prevents the children from being frightened.
After leaving here, Zhang Hao inspected the Xuantie Factory and Iron and Steel Base in Ranci Mountain, and inspected the surrounding industrial clusters, including locomotives, profiles, artillery, guns and other industrial equipment.
In the end, Zhang Haocai returned home, and here in Zhou Xueyao's research base, he quietly watched Zhou Xueyao busy.
A few months have passed, and Zhou Xueyao's place is no longer a small courtyard, but a three-story building with five rows, which has become an experimental base. It's the researchers here, and there are more than 200 people. There are more than 500 disciples and apprentices, and many of them are students from the Beidou Academy who came to study.
In Zhou Xueyao's office, there is a table hanging on the wall, which already has a bit of the appearance of the periodic table. And because of the study of black iron and dark iron, there is already a concept of isotopes in the table.
There is also a special filing desk in the spacious office, on which a thick record of information is placed. There are oxidation reactions, acid-base classification, nitrification reactions, alkalinization reactions, displacement reactions, chemical batteries, elemental analysis, combustion analysis, and special ...... explosives and 'Chemistry, Pills, and Medical Specialties' marked with red labels.
Zhang Hao looked at them one by one and sighed very emotionally. For half a year, Zhou Xueyao studied these things almost sleeplessly.
Zhang Hao was watching, and he heard footsteps and talking at the door, and saw Zhou Xueyao wearing a white uniform for research, her hair coiled in her hat, walking in front confidently and high-spiritedly, talking with a few people while walking, talking about various chemical experiments.
Seeing Zhang Hao, Zhou Xueyao suddenly showed a bright smile. At this moment, the majestic fairy turned into a maiden.
Zhang Hao looked at Zhou Xueyao and said softly, "It's hard work." ”
As he spoke, he gently smoothed the hair around Zhou Xueyao's ears behind her ears.
Zhou Xueyao's face was ruddy, and she bowed her head slightly, "No, I feel that I am unlocking the secrets of the world!"
As she spoke, Zhou Xueyao took out a note from her notes and turned her head to stick it on the periodic table on the wall. Zhang Hao looked at that position, looked at the words 'too white essence gold', and suddenly opened his mouth wide:
It's too white gold, this can't be tungsten, to be exact, it's tungsten after spiritualization!
Yes, although tungsten steel is usually black and gray, it is an alloy. Remember pure tungsten is also silvery-white, or off-white? Well, I can't remember.
In the past, I subconsciously thought that tungsten was black, but I forgot that it was the color of tungsten steel!
It's just that the product after the spiritualization has undergone a lot of changes in color.
Zhang Hao sat in the laboratory for a while, and finally left helplessly, and Young Master Zhang found that he could no longer understand Fairy Zhou's research.
Then Zhang Hao came to the Jindan period selection base of the Dayang Group - the 1,700 places agreed with the Xuanzhen Sect, the Xuanzhen Sect only took 1,000 people last time, and the remaining 700 places are still being selected.
This time, it is better to lack than to excess, but Dayang Group is not a Xuanzhen sect and does not have much background, and a few months have passed, and there are not enough 700 people.
This is not a random number of 700 people, but a careful selection. Now, more than 300 people have gathered again.
Quite a few people are trying to practice. Everyone knows that there are 700 places left, and this is the chance. If you miss this opportunity, you have to practice until you are in infancy, and then you don't know what year or month.
Zhang Hao stayed here until the evening, waiting for the shareholders' meeting to begin. Zhang Hao stood on the podium, looked at all the shareholders, and said with a serious face, "Everyone, the half-year period for the Xuanzhen Sect to protect the country of Qixia will pass. Are you ready?"
As soon as Zhang Hao's voice came out, there was an uproar. Everyone suddenly woke up from the crazy profits of Dayang Group during this period of time.
As the general manager, Bai Yutang slowly spoke, "Zhang Hao, what is the attitude of the country?"
Zhang Hao glanced around and said slowly: "The attitude of the country is to take the initiative to attack! And this will be with the help of the power of the Ocean Group." Including the power of steel battleships, masters of the Transformation Period, etc.
In return, the Ocean Group will receive half of the loot. ”
Everyone was stunned at first, but soon boiled. War is a high investment and high risk, but once it succeeds, it is also a high reward.
Everyone discussed for a long time, and finally Zhou Jue spoke, "I agree with assisting the country in fighting." There are no eggs under the nest, and this alone we must support the country. ”
Everyone agreed, and a consensus was reached.
Zhang Hao smiled, "In that case, then let's discuss what kind of attitude we will take to participate in this war." ”
