Chapter 407: Retreat and return to the machine
The most unreal three days, three days after arriving in Guangzhou, Yang Meng only had this feeling. It was too unreal, much less real than when he was reborn. He first came to the Qing Dynasty and was accompanied by severe pain in the back of his head, but now Yang Meng is light and fluttering, just like stepping in the clouds.
A little fat man grabbed his fingers and kept putting it on. The boy stuffed his fingers into his mouth. Although it was a little numb and itchy, Yang Meng felt so happy.
Yang Xintian was very clever, but he had reacted to Butch's nickname just three days after he was born. Whenever someone talked about Butch, this kid must turn his head.
The two elders Yang Pan also come every day, Lian'er is safe, and Lao Taishan also puts his thoughts on Butch, but this kid does not give the two elders any face. Staying in Lian'er or the wet nurse's arms is so safe. Once he reaches the two elders' arms, he either crys or pees, and his enemies are very clear!
The affairs in southern Xinjiang are big things, Lian'er and his son are safe. Although Yang Meng wanted to stay for a while, the situation did not allow it! The situation in southern Xinjiang was set up by him. Because some things are obtained from later generations, Yang Meng could not tell Xu Ziwei too much. He must be present to grasp the situation.
Lian'er is about to return to Yunnan, at least one month later. Although there is a big brother in Yunnan, he has less murderous intention than himself and the old man. He can handle small matters with ease, and it is not difficult to deal with big matters. However, when it comes to major matters involving the safety of the Yang family, he does not have that murderous intention. Now this world is a world where people can establish their authority. Without this murderous intention, it is difficult to survive by benevolence and righteousness alone.
"Old man..."
"Well! I understand, the big thing is important. I'll stop here in Guangzhou for three or two months. You can go busy!"
The third brother had a son. Yang Shiqin's words changed. Major matters were important. Listening to the old man's words, Yang Meng felt strange! This matter was all his reasoning.
"Yes! Big things are important. Xingdou, what you do is a big thing. Now that there are successors in the future, you can also give it a try."
The two elders had no objection, so Yang Meng was no longer stuck. After seeing his mother-in-law, Mrs. Pan, he had to take action on Lian'er's case!
"Master, you are leaving again..."
During these three days, Lian'er also heard from the old mothers about the process of saving her man. In these three days, these words have built up a mountain in Lian'er's heart, a mountain that can be relied on. Seeing Yang Meng, Lian'er felt that the breath of her man was much warmer than her father.
"Yeah! It's a last resort..."
"I understand, Lian'er can't stop you. As long as I have Lian'er in my heart, Lian'er will be satisfied."
Women are emotional, and emotions are also very subtle. As time goes by, Lian'er's feelings for Yang Meng have become more and more intense.
"Take care of yourself!"
Without too much words, Yang Meng walked out of Lian'er's yard silently and didn't want to leave! But he had to leave, so it would be better to be more cheerful.
"San Master, the artillery factory is facing a problem, you..."
Third Master, Ding Taichen is clear about the fact that he is in a hurry to return to southern Xinjiang, but the problems encountered by the artillery factory are also very critical. This involves the problem of giant cannons on board the ship. If the giant cannon cannot solve the iron-clad ship's giant cannon, it is a luxury.
"Go and have a look! The iron-clad ship is the key, and it also involves my layout in southern Xinjiang. It is impossible to ignore it. How long will it take to pull the telegram line of Morse to Mengla?"
There are only a few problems with artillery, one is weight and the other is recoil. The rest is range and power. The first two are the key. After a brief thought, Yang Meng also knew what the gun factory encountered.
The problem of the artillery factory should not be within one or two days. Without fast news channels, many things will take at least one or two months to delay on the road.
"It is completed within three months. This time I use the trees directly, and I will slowly modify them in the future!"
"Well! Yes, it is the most important thing to keep in touch. Whether there is a telephone pole or not is not very important now. Along the way of the telegram line, set up Wuzhuang and Tianzhuang to ensure the smooth flow of the line."
Three months is still acceptable. After three months, Guangzhou and Yunnan will be connected, so the time spent on the road will be much less.
After leaving Lixiang Garden with his luggage, Yang Meng didn't plan to stay longer. If he didn't do it well this year, he would have to pass the road. Thinking about the situation on the Southeast Peninsula, Yang Meng was still very peaceful. Hundreds of thousands of people died there. He was only in the New Year, so this was not a loss.
When he arrived at the artillery factory stationed in the Guangzhou Iron Factory, Yang Meng entered the whole world immediately. Time was very critical. He didn't have much time to go to the artillery factory.
"What's the problem? Is it weight or recoil?"
"The third master is wise, which is a problem of recoil. The third master is a new cannon we have developed. It can be used on the ship regardless of range or weight. Only this recoil can be solved.
The recoil is too great, one is that the hull cannot withstand it, and the other is that the wind and waves on the sea. If it happens, this giant cannon may be combined with the waves to overturn the ironclad ship."
Li Mingfu is in charge of the artillery factory now. After hearing Yang Meng’s question, Li Mingfu was deeply impressed. He knew that the problem was without asking. Only the third master in Yunnan has this ability!
Under the command of Li Mingfu, the craftsmen of the cannon factory lifted up a huge tarpaulin, and a ferocious beast was placed in front of Yang Meng.
The medicine room as thick as a water tank, a gun barrel that is nearly five meters long, and a huge iron base with a diameter of more than ten meters. Just look at it, you can tell how powerful the cannon is.
"So big? How heavy is this gun?"
"Along with the territory, about thirteen tons."
"How long is the range?"
"The maximum range is nearly ten miles, but you can only fire one or two cannons. If you have too many, you will inevitably explode."
"The longest life span, which kind of range is the right one?"
"About five miles! At least a thousand cannons!"
One thousand cannons sounds like a lot of numbers, but this number is not much different from disposable things. After all, it is normal to over-fire. The lifespan of this cast iron cannon is a bit short.
“How powerful?”
"Within three miles, you can penetrate the warship, and only one hull can be penetrated five miles away."
"Have you used columnar bullets?"
"It's used! But it's too heavy, and the normal dose can only maintain the range of three miles."
"Well! Enough! Have you tried ways to increase the power of artillery?"
"Try it. The best bronze cannon!"
"Okay! Just use copper cannons on the ironclad ship!"
"San Master, this key problem cannot be solved, so we can only reduce the caliber."
"Simple! I have a method called the stationary, retreat, and return, and advance machine, which can solve this problem. For paper and pen, I will explain it to you in a general way.
Mingfu, knowing that this person who is stationed and retreated and entered the plane is not allowed to leave the artillery factory easily, but he can only die. Now that the epidemic is severe, you can die in an emergency, right?"
The last sentence was said by Yang Meng attached to Li Mingfu's ear. The thing about the retreat and the arrival of the aircraft is too terrifying. As long as you have this thing, a large-caliber artillery, you can load it onto a warship.
Yunnan is far inferior to the great powers in terms of industrial capabilities and naval level. After this thing is designed, Yang Meng will be about to kill the donkey.
"Know! Everyone?"
"Apart from our people, it's good to use them together. Some things may not be met now, and they can only use the simplest structure. But our people need to record the ideas of this thing. After the stationary retreat and return machine is developed, I will ask Taichen to arrange a plague. This secret cannot be revealed even if you die."
The four words on the front can solve the recoil problem of the artillery with just the first four words. There have been many evolutions. As a gun dealer, I don’t know that there are not many of them. The spring under the gun barrel is the simplest device for the recoil.
Yang Meng has also seen the powerful howitzer. Although he has never dismantled it, Yang Meng still knows the hydraulic station and retreat re-energy machine. Although he does not know the specific structure, Yang Meng has seen the hydraulic device. Combining these two, the simplest station and retreat re-energy machine is still easy to complete.
To be too complicated, to be honest, with the industrial level of iron plants and Yunnan, even with detailed drawings, it is difficult to make qualified products.
Springs can be made, and simple hydraulic presses can be made. In this way, the most primitive station, retreat, and return machine is not a problem. Most technicians can still make it based on this idea.
There is no need for complex drawings. At the current industrial level, even if you have detailed drawings of aircraft carriers, you can only watch and be anxious. You can't become fat in one bite. Solving this problem is a simple concept and a rough drawing are already sufficient.
It is very simple to design and manufacture a stationary retreat and return machine, but confidentiality is the problem. Once this thing falls into the hands of the great powers, it will definitely be the beginning of a disaster. Yang Meng's confidentiality requirements for the stationary retreat and return machine are also particularly strict. After the development is completed, he will immediately unload the donkey.
"Taichen, arranges the most reliable people to produce stationary, retreat, and re-energy aircraft. After being equipped on the iron armored ship in the future, the entire artillery must be covered with armor. The principle of this thing is very simple. You can imitate it by looking at the movements and structure of the artillery from a distance."
The great powers wanted to learn this thing, it was simple. After the British navy sank, it would be enough. This is Yang Meng's minimum requirement. Before he had no ability to protect himself, the arrival and departure of the aircraft could only be a secret.
After explaining this, Yang Meng picked up the paper and pen and began to draw sketches about the machine in his mind about the stationary and retreating and returning. After more than ten sketches were drawn, Yang Meng handed them over to Li Mingfu.
Li Mingfu walked to the Chinese and foreign technicians in the artillery factory with these dozens of drawings. After saying Yang Meng's method, most of the foreign technicians gave him a thumbs up, while most of the technicians in Yunnan were confused and had no reaction.
"Oh... let's keep these foreign technicians for a while! Our technicians are still a lot worse. Taichen, watch them, even if they fart you, you must know whether it's fragrant or smelly!"
Yang Meng thought about unloading the grinding and killing the donkey, but the current situation of the artillery factory did not allow it. Most of the Chinese technicians were smelting, but the design was the expertise of foreign technicians. More than a dozen drawings could be found.
"Third Master, why do you want this?"
Yang Meng said to kill before, but he changed his mind after turning around. Ding Taichen did not observe the performance of Chinese and foreign technicians just now, so he didn't understand it.
"Technology! Our people are still too bad! Foreign technicians can understand at a glance, but our technicians are confused. Now we still cannot live without the skills of foreigners!
Let Xishan speed up the cultivation of our own technicians! Always beware of these foreign technicians, they have invested a lot in this regard, and they are outgoing, and many things will be discounted. It is good to be able to give us five or six points. We have to learn the rest by ourselves!
Eight-legged essays, Confucianism, and the great power of the court turned 40 million people into half-fools. We need to change it! It’s too difficult!
But no matter how difficult it is, we have to change it. The string in our mind is the most important thing. This string is constantly there. Even if we conquer the country and kill foreigners, we will still be bullied in the future.
If we want to change, we will kill people. Now we are a foreigner, and in the future we will kill our own people. Whoever dares to block our way will kill anyone! No matter how little one is, no matter how much you are, you must be prepared."
More than a dozen drawings showed the difference in level and also attracted Yang Meng's thoughts. He must not be too little. Looking at his third master's confident expression, Ding Taichen knew that the tide was coming.
"San Ye, the problem has been solved, and the foreign technicians unanimously passed it. They said that this method can definitely solve the problem of recoil. They also have theories and formulas. They can take out the physical objects within a month by referring to these drawings.
Third Master, these technicians..."
Li Mingfu's answer was also expected by Yang Meng. The performance of the foreign technician also made Li Mingfu cherish his talent. It's a pity that these people were killed!
"Let's keep it for now... Let your people learn hard with them! Look at what they were like just now, and they will understand at a glance that your people are like a group of stupid geese, which is too far apart!
Tell them about confidential matters, I am not stingy with killing people, so that they can be prepared and don’t miss my secrets!
Mingfu, you should also contact the shipyard these days. With such a huge cannon, the shipyard’s suggestions are also very critical. If there is any problem, let Taichen give me news."
Chapter completed!
