"San Master, you can go to the side cannon and the deck can also go to, but you can't go to the freshwater cabin! This sea water is not available!

When using fresh water, there is heavy scale in the boiler. When using sea water, not to mention the problem of sea water eroding the boiler, the sea salt that steams the sea water will block the entire boiler in a very short time. In this way, the pipeline is blocked and the boiler will basically be unable to escape the misfortune of explosion!"

Technically, Li Mingfu is rigorous. Without fresh water, the boiler will be unsustainable. The fresh water cabin is indeed a cabin that occupies a lot of land, but without fresh water cabin, this steam iron armored ship cannot even walk. With sea water, the boiler should explode after one or two hours!

Even if seawater is available, the terrifying erosion ability of seawater is not something that a boiler made of copper and iron can withstand. Once the pipeline is blocked or corroded, it will still be empty!

Not everyone in Europe and the United States has thought about this problem, but those people undoubtedly failed. The Third Master said it well. Although the scale of the Yang family’s Westernization Affairs is huge, it is still much worse than that of Europe and the United States!

"Since the sea water can boil salt, it means that there is water vapor. With water vapor, it means fresh water and power. The boiler and salt-boiler equipment cannot be integrated, so it is built separately, a water vapor pipeline is set up, and the water vapor is heated with the boiler.

As for the corrosion problem of seawater, porcelain pipes can be solved. The porcelain pipes are fragile. What if thick copper and iron pipes are wrapped outside the porcelain pipe?

I think the equipment for cooking salt must be smaller than the freshwater tank, right? As long as there is a possibility of improvement, you must persist in doing this!

I just said that as long as the defense power of the nearshore is, you Li Mingfu know what it means? Even if you don’t improve these things, today’s iron-clad ships can still fight in the nearshore.

The near-shore combat power must be achieved in the short term. No matter how difficult it is for your Guangzhou shipyard, I will decide on a hundred ironclad ships in one and a half years!

The iron furnace is insufficient to build railways and insufficient equipment. The manufacturing equipment and personnel are insufficient, and the people in the south and southwest of the Yangtze River can use it for you. I will give you all the conditions that should be available.

The Westernization War is not a vernacular thing. This Westernization War starts with these hundred ironclad ships!"

If the battle between Beijing and Tianjin is defeated, the Qing Dynasty will be defeated. In the short term, I am afraid that I will not have the ability to rise! If the British and French coalition forces are defeated, they may surrender. They may also be angry and attack the Qing Dynasty's coastal defenses.

At that time, treaties, agreements, etc. were all waste paper. The angered British and French coalition forces would not care about these things. If they fought a regular war, the British and French coalition forces might suffer!

However, without the constraints of logistics, as long as there is enough ammunition, the strength of the British and French coalition forces can still be used to spread the Qing Dynasty. There is no food. Don’t forget that when the human flesh is sipped during the Great Clearance and famine, eating meat is better than being hungry. Without such worries, a large army of furious beasts, the defeated Yang family may not be able to stop it!

Passing the pressure of the war to Li Mingfu and others, letting Li Mingfu and others fight a Westernization war, and providing a solid support for the upcoming battle in Beijing and Tianjin is the question Yang Meng is now thinking about. As for the details, if he had to take care of everything, Yang Meng would have been exhausted long ago!

"The third master has a good idea. If the Tamsui cabin can be cancelled, the range of this ironclad ship will be at least twice! But this new three-rise seawater steam engine cannot be completed in a short period of time!

Third Master! Can you give the shipyard one and a half more time, three years, within three years, Mingfu will definitely take out a new iron armored ship that satisfies Third Master!”

Li Mingfu personally participated in the construction of the ironclad ship. From naval guns to steam engines, to rivets, Li Mingfu was extremely familiar with these shipbuilding processes. I am afraid that the all-in-one machine cannot be made, but the split machine may not be able to fail!

"Haha... Mingfu! If I might be willing to give you ten, twenty, and thirty years, but! The war is not right now. I have been talking about it for one year and a half, and I don't have too high requirements for ironclad ships. It's good that one-on-one can kill sail warships with the same tonnage!

As for technology, don’t tell me, that’s the business you need to pay attention to!

Westernization War? What is Westernization War? Mingfu! You can understand it this way. In one and a half years, one hundred iron warships were the Westernization War. In this year and a half, you built one and a hundred iron construction warships. In the Westernization War, we won!

If you can't create it, a year and a half later, the people who will die will be counted in millions. Mingfu! You have read books and know about the Japanese pirates from the Ming Dynasty, right?

If the British and French coalition forces are angry, the southwest and southeast coasts will be all British, French and foreign devils! How many ordinary people will die at that time, you can go back and calculate it yourself.

According to my calculations, tens of millions or tens of millions are possible! You cannot defeat this Westernization War!

Are you afraid that a hundred ironclad ships will be abandoned after they are completed? This is inevitable. Even if they are not abandoned now, they will be abandoned in the future. What I want now is a turret that can be told to move near the sea!

Militaria's floating turret is not advisable. If you study that thing later, you only need to study one thing now, that is, a ironclad ship that can sail long distances. I will be in the future to the British and French local areas. You have some voyages by sea for tens of thousands of miles!"

Seeing that Li Mingfu was still addicted to technology and time, Yang Meng once again added pressure to him. There were some things that no one could say, but it was still possible that what Yang Meng said might come true.

The technology of the ironclad ship is a key technology in the short term. Yang Meng was afraid that the Guangzhou Shipyard would take the same detour as Miligan, so he also emphasized the floating turret in Miligan. It was not that there was no need for development, but that the current technological level was not yet reached.

If Yang Meng was given twenty or thirty years to convert the floating turret into a submarine, it would be the only way for the Yang family to belong to, but now, he can only give up temporarily.

Yang Meng has to face the pressure of war, and inventing and creating practically and effectively in the near future is what he needs, such as ironclad ships, fertilizer plants, and converter steelmaking methods.

"I understand. In the future, the third master will definitely focus all his energy on the ironclad ship!"

Li Mingfu's oath. In Yang Meng's opinion, it was a big mistake. Although the ironclad ship is the key to its rise, it is not the only one. There are too many things missing now. Putting all the power of the Yang family into the construction of the ironclad ship is the biggest failure!

"It's wrong again. The only thing that wants to build a ironclad ship is Guangzhou Shipyard. Just like the tinplate factory, the production of anchor thunder cannot delay export and civilian use. Xishan belongs to Guangzhou, except to make achievements on the ironclad ship, there should be no slack in other undertakings.

The needs of war are the needs of war, and the development of the Westernization Movement belongs to the development of the Westernization Movement, and many things cannot be confused!

This is the purpose of I asked you to come to the capital. The Westernization War will be fought without delay, and the rest of the projects will be carried out normally. This is my requirement!

Whether it is Xishan, Guangzhou, Huange or Dawan, manpower or those manpower can be increased. But the manpower in these places must not be drawn because of war!

Mingfu! The Westernization War is not that easy to fight. I also know that it is almost impossible to build a hundred ironclad ships within one and a half years of time based on the group of people under your command!

But! This is the purpose of the Westernization War. With the original manpower and material resources, plus the 40 million people of the Qing Dynasty, it will be impossible to become possible within one and a half years! This is the war! The Westernization War!

I originally planned to keep you in the capital this time. Since you have this kid Siming, you can go back!

After you go back, you have to send a group of elites from Guangzhou Shipyard to the capital. The war requires that the Guangzhou Shipyard and Dawan Shipyard you are under will be completed without affecting normal production!"

If it is the Westernization War, if you shout a few slogans and gather some manpower and material resources, you can easily win, then it is not called the Westernization War. After Yang Meng's conditions were put out, Li Mingfu was already frowning, and there was almost no gap. The pressure was too great that many things could not be accomplished.

But the third master said whatever he said at the Yang family, and other businesses kept building one hundred iron-clad ships in one and a half years. Even if they were rebuilt on the basis of the original wooden merchant ship, such pressure would be unbearable for the Guangzhou Shipyard.

"I'm going to do my best!"

"It's not just a matter of doing your best. If you belong to the Guangzhou Shipyard, you need a military order, you can't make a hundred ironclad ships in one and a half years. All shipyards will be sent to Mongolia to build railways!"

"Third Master..."

"This is a war! You, Li Mingfu, are generals, and I am the handsome. If the war on this front line is not good, people will die. If the war on the rear is not good, there will be more people. Don't tell me that there are more than 100,000 people in the shipyard. If my Beijing-Tianjin front line is not good, hundreds of thousands of people will die!

Not to mention sending you to Mongolia to build a railway, if the situation of the war is affected because of the insufficient iron-clad ships, even if you are defeated, I will slaughter the Guangzhou Shipyard first!

Mingfu, let me tell you this! If I were defeated, the Yang family’s technology would not be leaked at all!”

Whether it is Xishan or Guangzhou Shipyard, there are many things that can lead the trend of the times. No matter how much the price it costs, Yang Meng will not easily let the foreigners succeed. If they really fail, they can only massacre technicians.

"Third Master...why?"

Li Mingfu clearly understood what Yang Meng meant. Once he was defeated, many things might disappear, right?

"All this is created by me. No one will get anything I can't get!

If some things are given to foreigners, we will never have hope of rising again. In order to protect the hope of rising, no matter how many people die, I will not blink!

You are different from Master Ge, and this is also the reason why I called you into Beijing. It involves the rise of a clan, and no one in the world cannot be killed!

Mingfu! Work hard! Do your best! Otherwise, the good situation today will turn into ashes in the future!”

This is an era where technology and population are kings, and the status of technology is much higher than the population. Without corresponding technology, no matter how large the population is, it is just a pig or a dog!

Yang Meng also had school examinations in these areas, and the technicians did not force them to death, and the speed of the results would not be very fast.

Today's battlefield is the largest test site. Yang Meng is not in the Beijing-Tianjin battlefield. The reason why he is not in the Beijing-Tianjin battlefield, copper shells, shells, five-shot Dresses, and m14 is very simple. That is, these things are all mature products that have been tested on the battlefield. There is no need to invest them in the battlefield too early. After these things are put into the battlefield, they will only accelerate the technological innovation of European and American powers. Some things that Yang Meng does not understand need to be tested in war. After the large-scale test site of war, the feasibility of many things will be fully verified.

Once the secret weapons in Yang Meng's hand were put into the battlefield, they might be able to ensure the victory of the war, but after those weapons were leaked, the hegemony might be gone forever. With the industrial capabilities of Europe and the United States, it will only take a few years to catch up with what he has!

What will these things be derived from a few years later? Who knows? Once the situation becomes like that, even if you can still seek hegemony, the sacrifices you have to make will be dozens or hundreds of times that of now. Because of the huge sacrifice, it is very likely that the road to rise will be strangled!

While persuading Li Mingfu, Yang Meng also convinced himself that after saying these words, he also felt that this Westernization War must be fought!

"If you know, you will be successful if you don't succeed! My subordinates will not let a trace of technology, a technician, escape!"
Chapter completed!
