Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 201 Gas Turbines and Shipbuilding
"Where's Bismarck?" When Huang Jiang hurried to the hall, Lexington was holding tea.

"I'm educating Tirpitz."

There was a middle-aged man sitting on a wooden chair nearby. He kept shaking his legs, and the paper in his hand kept hitting his pants as his legs shook.

"Stohl." Lexington introduced with a smile, "He learned through colleagues in the laboratories where we invested that we were extensively sponsoring research that was in trouble, so he wanted us to sponsor him to complete what he had not yet done. completed research."

Huang Jiang took the black tea and walked across from Stohr. He asked kindly: "What kind of work does Mr. Stohr do?"

Stoll smiled cautiously and replied, "I used to work in a shipyard."

"Oh~" Huang Jiang nodded and took a sip of tea. He wanted to ask Stoll's laboratory something, but he was afraid that Lexington had already asked him and it would appear that he didn't take him seriously.

Lexington saw Huang Jiang's concerns. She leaned close to Huang Jiang's ear and whispered, "Stoll is studying gas turbines."

"Gas turbine?!" Huang Jiang raised his eyebrows. He did know a little about steam turbines. After all, his major in college had come into contact with knowledge related to power stations. Although he later chose a completely different direction to go to refrigeration, he was interested in heat. A classmate once used his computer to design courses, including steam turbines and boilers.

Huang Jiang didn't know what the progressive relationship was between this steam turbine and a gas turbine, but he knew that the federation's ship power now widely uses boiler + steam turbine systems, and the theoretical speed is close to the speed of destroyers, but this is Under the most ideal situation, the federal technology at this stage is not enough to apply high-speed power systems to ships.

Even steam turbine technology has not yet matured. Is it too early for gas turbines?But Huang Jiang had no intention of rejecting this researcher who came to his door. None of the earth's technologies gradually matured after decades of research and development. Some of them were even just scratching the surface after decades. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is yellow. Jiang is very clear.

After in-depth exchanges with Stohr, Huang Jiang unexpectedly discovered that in addition to developing gas turbines that could be used on ships, Stohr was also a senior shipbuilding expert. Although he was proficient in the power of ships, he had With this grasp, Huangjiang finally found a breakthrough to get involved in the shipbuilding industry.

Although money can buy a complete set of shipbuilding equipment, as today's labor-intensive industry, skilled workers and skilled engineers are the most valuable assets of the shipbuilding industry. As it happens, Stoll has some connections in this industry. Although the most cutting-edge talents will definitely not come to the shipbuilding desert of Jialan, there are still skilled workers, and Stoll has several friends, and he is confident to persuade them to join Jialan.

"If you really build the largest shipyard in the Federation." Stoll said excitedly.

"The deepest bay in Jialan has been transformed into a seaport." Huang Jiang said confidently, "But I have found a very good place where it is enough to build a ship of [-] to [-] tons."

"You plan to build a resource ship?!" Stoll said in surprise, "But this industry has been monopolized by the Carnation Territory..."

In the Federation, the ships with the largest displacement are undoubtedly freighters built specifically for transporting resources. They are all very standard products. The mass-produced model has a standard size of 1000 square meters and a displacement of 1.5 tons. The ships above this are basically governors. Our strategic weapon, currently the largest ship in the Federation is Sunflower Collar's "Emily the Cutest", with a total displacement of 3.2 tons and can transport 2400 blocks of resources.

And these resource ships all come from the Carnation Territory.

Originally, after the construction of North Port, there was no sea area near Jialan that could accommodate a shipyard of this size. However, fortunately, an adventure of the big mackerel and archerfish a few days ago brought him a very good opportunity. information.

To the east and south of Wutou Island, perhaps due to crustal movement, a deep trench tore the entire seafloor apart, and there happened to be a small island on the edge of the trench.

Maran Island.The last island in the Edelweiss collar known to the Yellow River.

That is the most ideal shipyard address.

Huang Jiang nodded and gave an affirmative answer. The Sea Soul Mothership was related to the durability of his future cross-sea operations, and its importance was self-evident, because he had no idea what the sea conditions were like east of Violet. A long voyage came to the edge of Violet, because considering the endurance and safety of the little ones, Huangjiang did not allow them to continue moving forward.

And the most important reason is... he has money!
Huangjiang is finally rich! !

Although Jiagang had been supplying blood before, the construction cost of the three islands was too high. Although the Merchant Alliance undertook a considerable part of the infrastructure of Jialan Island, the money was still flowing like water, and it was spent quickly.

Now, with the immigration of the first batch of residents of Wutou Island, the construction of the three islands has finally come to an end, and what is left is a matter of repair.Three skyscrapers on Gloriosa Island rise straight up into the sky, announcing that steel has officially begun to be used as a building material. Even if they are not completed yet, they are still breathtaking.On Iris Island, uniform factory buildings are built on the banks of the Iris River, while on the southwest corner of Iris Island is a ten-story building of similar style. It will be put into use in about the middle of the year. By then, workers on Iris Island will no longer need to be like iron smelting workers. Then I would catch the boat to Iris Island every day or simply sleep in the factory.On Wutou Island, the trembling old man took his children and grandchildren to observe their land. The dark land was so fertile that it made people cry.

The construction came to an end, and Huang Jiang suddenly had a lot of spare money on his hands.Huang Jiang originally planned to use it all to summon the ship girl, but Lexington stopped him.

"After winter has passed, it's time to usher in the spring when mirages are rampant." Lexington explained the reason, "At this stage, Jialan does not lack the combat power to defend the homeland, and can even squeeze out the combat power to expand outward. But our logistics cannot keep up with our battle at all, and the Gloria alone cannot satisfy the huge ammunition consumption of the battleships during the battle."

Only then did Huang Jiang give up the idea of ​​summoning a large number of ship girls to sweep across the West Wind Drift. After all, it would be very embarrassing if the ship girls behind them ran out of ammunition and the supply ship was still thousands of nautical miles away.

Huang Jiang didn't know much about the dock, but it didn't matter. He could find someone who did.

Such as Thors.

The first thing Huang Jiang thought of was this former sailor. His experience traveling throughout the Federation gave him enough experience.

And Huang Jiang heard that he spent several months in a shipyard after leaving the refinery in Sunflower Collar.

Then Huang Jiang planned to contact Joyce. Think about it, he will arrive in Jialan as soon as possible, right?Huang Jiang wanted to ask Joyce to rely on the contacts in the business alliance to find a team with experience in shipyard construction, and one that was willing to take students.

"Is Nicholas back?"

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Just after sending Stoll away, Joyce walked in.
