The renovation project of the "Ryan" is now nearing completion: the modification work including strengthening the hull, adjusting the compartments, and installing electronic instruments has been completed, and now only the power system remains.

Traditional Fu Chuan and sand boats rarely use ship ribs. The craftsmen displaying these ship types are originally intended for cargo ships. The main function of Fu Chuan is to carry goods in the coastal areas of the continent.

The designers did not expect the Fu Ship to cross the Pacific in a storm, nor did they consider installing dense ribs on the bulkheads for firing volleys of guns. This can be seen from the "" shaped bottom of the ship. In order to fire platoon guns on the sides, the ship shape must be

It is in the shape of a "" with a big bottom and a small top, and the bottom tank must be filled with ballast to lower the center of gravity of the entire ship below the waterline, just like a tumbler.

Since it is only coastal freight, if there is a storm, you can take shelter near the coast at any time, so it is very wise to omit the expensive process of ship ribs: Facts have proved that the existing structural strength of the Fuzhou ship is sufficient for hundreds of years of private maritime trade.

required.

However, the "Rui'an", which is being modified by the shuttle fleet, is different.

For a lucky ship that needs to perform special missions, a thin outer layer will definitely not work. Even if the power system is running, leakage may occur, not to mention that the ship may have various unpredictable battles in the future.

Therefore, the Ruian's structure was comprehensively strengthened.

After various supports, reinforcements, and replacement of good wooden deck boards, the Ruian finally paid the price of reducing the cargo hold volume by 2o in order to be strong. There was no way, the ship shape had already been fixed, and it was impossible to add another ship from the keel.

Ribs, so this is the only way.

After the stability problem is solved, other aspects of communication are the simplest: installing the telegraph, radio, radar screen in the stern cabin, installing the antenna and radome on the mizzen mast. These are all skilled processes and can be easily handled.

Like all other modified ships, the most difficult part of the modification project for the lucky ship "Ryan" must be the power system.

The power system of the early sand boats represented by the Dog Eye was a diesel outboard engine installed at the stern.

Outboard motors have many advantages: plug and play, concealed, safe and efficient, there is no need to install a complex power system in the cabin, and there is no need to worry about sealing, leakage, etc. The outboard motor only needs to install an external slide rail at the stern.

, that’s all.

However, one black hat and ten fans: the outboard motor needs diesel, firewood, and

Although the transportation fleet consumes a small amount of diesel and is usually only used in some special circumstances, as the fleet continues to increase, the consumption of diesel is always increasing. The friends finally couldn't bear it anymore.

This is a bottomless pit!

By this time, even though the main office had ordered the formation of an oil exploration team in advance, all outboard motors were temporarily suspended due to strong calls from multiple departments.

Nowadays, the power systems on all pilot boats and special ships such as the "Wind Rider" have been changed to wood gas propeller power.

This is rather deceptive.

Wood gas power: slow to start, low power, and the entire system is much more complicated than an outboard motor. From the vaporizer to various connectors, gas delivery pipes, special gas motors, to the spindle and propeller, this

The completion of a series of projects also made the industrial people in the kiln area complain.

First of all, running and maintaining this system is a big trouble: some of the workers that the kiln area finally trained have to be taken away by the fleet.

Secondly, the current capacity of the kiln area to produce workpieces is still very low. Except for a few silly cast iron vaporizers, the remaining parts of the above systems, including lubricating oil and metal sealing rings, still have to be imported.

Kill a thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses. It seems to have prevented the bottomless pit of imported diesel consumption, but the one-time basic investment is enough for young and old men to drink a pot.

The only thing that can be compared is probably the size of the gas system.

The entire system occupies very little space and does not require the installation of a huge boiler and a purified water system like a steam engine. Although the power of gas power is insufficient, the shuttle does not need the Fuzhou ship to soar to an altitude of 20 knots like a battleship. Under the same circumstances, as long as

The navy was already very satisfied with its speed which was 23 knots higher than that of the indigenous ships.

The "Ruian" modification team headed by Qiao Zhengtai finally installed all the equipment before the deadline and successfully commissioned it.

The "mission" of the Intelligence Bureau took over the Ruian the next day. "Mr. Cao" wearing a fake bun immediately boarded the ship. After taking a walk around the sea, they found that the ship was in good condition, and the wood and gas power was fully turned on.

Under normal circumstances, Fuzhou can reach a height of 4 knots with the sail lowered, which is enough.

The envoy will soon complete preparations and then leave Fuzhou to secretly meet with Lao Xiong.

As a result, the Chuanchuang people entrenched on Da Yuan Island began to adjust their policies in order to cope with the war that would come soon.

Since we have to deal with war, the first thing that needs to be liberalized is the gun ban.

It's shameful to say that after a certain explosive force occupied Dangang for such a long time, so far it has not produced a single gun or cannon to defend its homeland.

For a long time, the fighting method of the time travellers, in addition to using weapons and ammunition from later generations to destroy the enemy, is to give their men some swords, axes and spears and let them fight hand-to-hand.

Advanced and backward are mixed together, without any transition in between, and the style is extremely weird. However, a certain force has managed to survive to this day without any sense of disobedience.

Now the princes in the court finally couldn't stand it any longer.

The rotten slogan "All resources should be used first to develop basic industries" cannot be continued in the face of the increasingly severe situation!

On the third day after Comrade Chen Huoding arrived at the office, the office issued an official document: From now on, the kiln district base will open a special weapons workshop to produce self-made guns.

There was no time to complain about the stupid style of the bosses looking for a knife in battle, the weapons sub-section on the forum became extremely lively overnight. All kinds of information flooded the screen, from bronze cannons to barrel artillery, from brown bass to, various weapons

The supporters behind him all jumped out at this moment, shouting at the top of their lungs to support the best murder weapon in their minds. During this period, there were countless debates, abuses and ridicules.

So the weapons expert appeared and Comrade Ma Zekai, the only gun repairman in Zhongli who had been appointed as the general manager of the newly opened state-owned weapons company, officially announced: There will be a meeting tomorrow.

What kind of meeting will be held? Firearms shaping meeting.

As for artillery?

Let’s talk about it the day after tomorrow.
