Chapter 8 Winning the bet again

Qin Ge touched Anderson's ear, blocked his mouth and Anderson's ear with his hands, and whispered: "I lied to them. Anyway, I'll just stay here for a few days. When they find out, I might have arrived in Canada."

"Oh, Qin, you're really bad." Anderson smiled.

Qin Ge turned around and said to Qing'er, "Qing'er, I have something to talk to Mr. Anderson. If you want to buy things, please continue. I think there shouldn't be anyone who doesn't dare to touch you now. But for safety reasons, Erbao, you can choose 10 more people to protect Qing'er."

Qing'er did not buy many things. After picking 10 people in Erbao, she went shopping again.

"Liu Zhuang, you can lead the team back. With Mr. Anderson here, no one dares to do anything to me." Qin Ge said to Liu Zhuang after seeing Qing'er go away, because if Qing'er is next to her, Liu Zhuang and others will definitely follow her.

Liu Zhuang knew Qin Ge's combat effectiveness, and then responded and led the team to leave.

Qin Ge only had Erdan beside him, and he said to Anderson: "Mr. Anderson, let's talk about the warship!"

"Battleship! Qin, do you know anything about warships?" Anderson knew that Qin Ge had never left the country and should have no idea about warships.

"Yes, I know very well. I think, if one on one, which one is the strongest warship in the world today?"

"The strongest ironclad ship? It is naturally the British 12,000-ton Infrexi White Ironclad ship. The ship is equipped with a 16-inch giant cannon, but it is a bore. The second is Germany's Saxon, with a displacement of 10,000 tons and a 12-inch breech gun. The third should be Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, which was customized by China in Germany. I heard that these two ironclad ships are already on the way back to China." Anderson is very concerned about warships in today's world, so he doesn't have to think at all.

Qin Ge smiled and shook his head.

"What? Am I wrong?" Anderson exclaimed when he saw Qin Ge's movement, "Does there be other ironclad ships I don't know?"

"The British Infrexi Bai, a 406mm bore gun, is loaded very slowly, and the barrel of the gun is too short and the range is only a few kilometers. The German Saxony and the 305mm bore gun have a little faster loading, but it still takes two to three minutes to complete the loading. The barrel is still too short and the range is only a few kilometers. The Qing Dynasty's Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, the gun is the same as Saxony, so I won't talk about it, but these top-ranked warships in the world today have a common flaw. Do you want to know what it is?" Qin Ge said with a smile.

Anderson was speechless. The range of several thousand meters was quite short. How big was it because the range was not short? The common defect was unlikely. How could China's Dingyuan and Zhenyuan Ji Yingfleibai and Saxon have common defects? So he asked anxiously: "Flaws, what defects?"

"Their common flaw is the turret."

"Turt? What are the defects in the turret?" Anderson was very puzzled.

"Oh, don't you know that their main gun turrets are all distributed on the side? This is very unreasonable." Qin Ge replied.

"It is unreasonable for the turret to be on the side? Why?" Anderson was still very puzzled. In his opinion, there was no problem with the distribution of the main gun turret on the side.

"Oh, it's hard for me to explain it to you here. Let's go to your house first. I think your house will definitely not be short of paper and pen." Qin Ge felt it was difficult to explain the problem to the people of the 19th century. Their thoughts were too... Uh, I don't know how to describe it.

Anderson's house is a typical European-style building with a small garden and there is a servant in the house. After Anderson walked into the hall, he asked Qin Ge: "Do you want a cup of coffee?" Although he wanted to know what the defect of the turret was on the side, as the owner, Anderson still politely asked Qin Ge if he had something to drink.

"Okay, but adding more sugar to me is too bitter."

"Oh well."

After tasting the coffee that Anderson made by himself, Anderson began to look impatient. Qin Ge smiled and said, "Let's go to the study. Erdan, stay here, don't move things randomly. If you need it, please ask the servant."

There were not many books in Anderson's study, but it was full of design drawings of warships and some black and white photos of warships. However, in Qin Ge's eyes, these drawings were worthless.

Qin Ge spread a piece of white paper on the table, took a pencil, and was about to draw it, but stopped before the tip of the pen touched the paper.

"What's wrong?" Anderson asked.

"Well, Mr. Anderson, how about we bet?"

"bet?"

"Well, we use warships to decide the outcome. We use warships to compete on the drawings. You use the main gun turret on the side of the warship, and I use the same ship, but use another turret distribution method. If I win, then you will work for me in the future, mainly for warship manufacturing. Of course, there is still a salary. If you win, uh, you can't win." Qin Ge said.

"What?!" Qin Ge's words of impossible win were angered Anderson, and he shouted, "I choose Infrey Bai." After that, he picked up another pencil and drew a sketch of Infrey Baifei's downward view on the paper, "It's your turn, let me see where you put the turret."

Qin Ge smiled and drew a top view sketch of the monarchy on the drawings. Anderson didn't think there was anything when he saw the turret arranged on the central axis. Now many cruisers are distributed in this way.

The talk began on paper: the two ships were face to face, but at 4,000 meters, both sides began to turn. Due to the same hull, both sides failed to grab the "T" horizontal position. As the distance continued to get closer, both sides fired. At this time, Anderson was stunned. He had only two main guns that he could use, while Qin Ge had 4 main guns to bombard him. Anderson was completely defeated. When Anderson was defeated, Qin Ge said proudly: "If the warship was built by me, you would have lost earlier. Because my main turret was transferred to the central axis of the bow and stern, I could install 4 to 6 152mm caliber cannons on the side, and the 20-pound cannon less than 100mm on your ship was like itchy on my ship, which was meaningless."

"It's true! I didn't expect that the most advanced warships in the world today have such a big flaw. It's so sad. It's really sad. The one who found this flaw was actually a Chinese. It seems that Orientals should not underestimate it!" Anderson thought to himself.

Qin Ge continued: "So, Mr. Anderson, you are completely defeated. I think Mr. Anderson, as a German, will definitely abide by our bet."

"Of course, I will definitely abide by the bet, but if you want to build a ship, where are you building a ship?" Anderson did not seem frustrated after losing, but was a little excited because he knew that he would build such a powerful warship with the main gun distributed along the central axis.

"The first thing you have to do is to go to Hawaii. You have to build 3 25,000-ton docks for me in Pearl Harbor on Oahu. You have to customize the lifting equipment in Europe and make it to Germany. I like German goods, and then 6 6,000-ton docks. These 6 docks must be built first, and then a large steel factory must be built, which requires large ones. My naval guns and shipbuilding steel armor must be built there. Finally, there is a machinery factory. There is only so much for the time being. You can plan first and calculate how much it costs. After calculation, tell me that I will write a check from the Royal Bank of Scotland. I have 7 million pounds there." Qin Ge said.

Listening to Qin Ge's words, Anderson was already shocked. The 25,000-ton dock, what is this concept? Even in Europe, there is no dock that reaches 20,000 tons, and Qin Ge has three seats built! Can such a heavy boat run? I have to go back to China to customize the lifting equipment. Oh my God, people in China will definitely think I am a lunatic. 7 million pounds! Oh my God, this is 7 million, it is pound, not a mark! 7 million pounds, but it is not a lot of dock construction.

It costs 2.5 million, no, maybe 2.8 million. A large steel factory, which costs 900 to 1 million, and a machinery factory costs 400,000 to 500,000. Oh, 7 million spent 4.2 million in a row. Oh, he told me that he would not even blink. He must have a lot of money. How did he make money? The Jews are not that powerful. However, the investment in the steel factory is very problematic. There is no iron ore at all. This is a loss-making transaction.

Thinking of this, Anderson said: "Boss."

Qin Ge said "Hmm?" It seemed that Anderson's character changed very quickly, which called the boss, "Is there any problem?"

"Boss, do you know that there is no iron ore in Hawaii?"

"I know." Qin Ge replied.

"Then the steel plant..." Anderson puzzled.

"A steel plant is a must. I have a brand new forging technique. When the thickness of the steel plate is the same, my steel plate is 1.6 to 1.8 times that used by Dingyuan and Zhenyuan." Qin Ge trusted Anderson very much. Germans in the 19th century rarely betrayed. What's important is that when Anderson learned that Qin Ge had 7 million pounds, he only showed shock and no greed. Therefore, Qin Ge was very relieved to become a subordinate after he knew this within a day.

"1.6 to 1.8 times!" Anderson looked at Qin Ge in shock again, as if Qin Ge was a monster.

"Are you surprised? I have the technology to make a 20,000-ton giant ship speed exceed 20 knots, so it is a great honor to help me build a ship, because the most powerful warship of this century will be completed under your supervision and guidance!" Qin Ge threw a bombshell again.

"20,000 tons! 20 verses!" Anderson could no longer speak, and he murmured: "This is impossible, impossible."

"There is nothing impossible. The technology mastered by us Chinese is not something that you Westerners can understand. Although the Qing government is incompetent, if you go deep into China, you will find that masters are among the people!" Qin Ge shamelessly said that the technology he knew in later generations was technology mastered by the Chinese, and even masters were among the people, but masters are indeed among the people.

Anderson was completely impressed. He imagined a 20,000-ton giant ship galloping on the sea at a speed of 20 knots, and this sea steel monster was built under his supervision and guidance. Imagination alone was already very exciting!
