Alchemy Greater China

"Hey, you have already decided, what else can I say? After all, I have a way out, building a bridge..."

Zheng Tingxiang laughed at himself, "But let me remind you for the last time, John, science does not favor luck. If it works, it works, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I don't agree with this experiment. I will fill in no on the experiment inquiry form later. , don't blame me."

"I don't blame you, you fill in no, but this experiment will still go on!" John Holland's fingers trembled, but his lips spoke firmly.

The experiment inquiry form is unique to No. 3 Dock, but this form is indispensable for all experiments on Qianlong No. 1.

The reason is well known to everyone. Qianlong No. 1 is too important to allow any mistakes, and once a "mistake" occurs, the experiment inquiry form becomes a "disclaimer form" and a "question form".

There were more than a dozen people who were qualified to sign, and John Holland was the last one. When he typed a period after the scribbled letters, it was also an explanation, the experiment request form... the end of the inquiry.

Huo Lan glanced: "Nine, three, I announce that experiment No. 3 in Dock 17 will start in 5 minutes!"

It stands for gree, and it stands for sgree. To Huo Lan's surprise, Zheng Tingxiang painted it and chose to stand by him.

Huo Lan's heart warmed, and he laughed and cursed: This guy! [

The experimental procedure was practiced earlier, so after 5 minutes, everything is ready.

The huge transparent water tank began to be filled with water, and the iron cables hanging Qianlong 1 were also untied one by one. Five operators lifted the hatch cover and got in... During the whole process, Zheng Tingxiang did not help, but stood Farther away from Holland.Leaning on the stainless steel railing, with arms folded, he kept singing in the tune of Peking Opera: "...the yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and if you don't break Loulan, you will never return it!"

"The water level is 15 meters, stop irrigation!"

"Start the engine and start diving!"

"Dive 5 meters. Turn on the rudder!"

"The rotation frequency is 35, please indicate, is it increasing?"

"The power of No. 1 engine group has reached the limit, please instruct, whether to enable No. 2 engine group?"

……

One after another on-site broadcast of the experiment, nervously passed out from the mouth of the observer, some of these data are visually visible, and some are obtained through the tubes extending from Qianlong 1.

What permeate in the transparent water tank is sea water.Qianlong 1 also dived to an area of ​​5-10 meters, and its condition is completely simulating the ocean environment.

Limited to the size of the water tank, the submarine cannot sail. The alternative is to make it rotate. The rotation frequency and the number of sailing knots have a proportional function relationship.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the rotation frequency is qualified.The number of sailing knots has reached the standard!

John Holland's 'standard line' for this 'No. 17' experiment is: the rotation frequency is 78!

"Increase the rotation frequency, engine group No. 2. Turn on!"

Holland stared at the meter marked with degrees without blinking: the frequency is 41, which is too low, it is still far, far away! [

The No. 1 and No. 2 engine units are the electric motors developed by the Holland team in the past four months. In the previous experiment, the two were started together.The best score I got was 53, which is really far from 78.

"Understood, activate the No. 2 engine group!"

"The rotation frequency has increased, and it is now 45...51...56!"

"Okay. It's 59, break through 6 immediately... It's still 59, now it's 58, and it's falling!"

……

In the rush of counting by the observers, Huo Lan murmured in his heart: "59, is the limit?"

59, much better than the previous 53, but... still not enough!

Huo Lan glanced at Zheng Tingxiang who was still shaking his head and humming Peking Opera in the distance, gritted his teeth, and ordered: "Start the No. 3 engine unit, and withdraw three people inside!"

The No. 3 engine group is an internal combustion engine developed by Hollando mg. This engine has high power, but it is also dangerous.

If water enters, the entire engine will be paralyzed, and Qianlong 1 will not be able to float up, and the people inside may be stuffy.

"Yes, Qianlong No. 1, go up!"

"Personnel evacuation is complete, close the cabin, and dive!"

"Reach the specified depth, start the No. 3 engine unit!"

……

With a single command, Qianlong No. 1 floated up and down in the transparent water tank, and when a violent shock occurred, Huo Lan's face froze: No. 3 internal combustion engine, turned on!

The rotation frequency is steadily increasing, and within 3 minutes, it has exceeded the limit level of 6, and the people next to it are rejoicing.

"Break 6! No. 3 engine unit, it really works!"

"I've said it before, let's not use the good internal combustion engine technology, but use the electric motor, this is the wrong direction, it's the opposite!"

"Hush, keep your voice down! The danger has not passed yet. Once you pass 7, the risk of water seepage will be limited."

"It shouldn't be a problem. Today I went out to do my fortune-telling. Everything is suitable and taboo!"

Huo Lan turned a deaf ear to the discussion next to him, he just stared at the instrument, watching the pointer move forward bit by bit, naturally, the speed of Qianlong 1 in the water tank was also getting faster and faster.

"69, 7! Well, 7 is broken!"

"73...75...78, do it again, break it!"

"Okay, it's 8! Awesome, now it's 8! Funding is going to be saved!"

"...No, the pressure gauge is changing! Look at the water marks, there are still bubbles! No, the ventilator is flooded!"

The sound of cheering stopped abruptly, replaced by panic, screams, and running around!

The internal combustion engine is different from the electric motor. It needs a ventilation device and needs to interact with seawater. Rao Huo Lan made a series of waterproof preparations, but the reality is in front of him: these preparations are all effective!

"Don't panic! Don't panic!" Huo Lan yelled: "Listen to my command, start plan b!"

"Put down the sling and hook Qianlong No. 1!"

"Drain the water tank, and drain it at a constant speed!"

"Everyone, move quickly, don't let too much seawater pour into Qianlong 1!"

If seawater is poured in, many components in Qianlong 1 will be damaged, not only the internal combustion engine will not be able to keep it.Other equipment will also be damaged, and more importantly, there are two operators inside. If someone dies, the disaster level of this experiment will increase.

Huo Lan couldn't bear this result!

There is a plan b, but the effect of implementation is obviously not ideal.Probably in the hearts of everyone, there is no mental preparation that Plan B will come in handy!

In the No. 3 dock, there was a commotion. Inside and outside the water tank, on the steel frame and under the iron frame, people were like flies with severed heads, buzzing, buzzing, and buzzing.

The sling was hooked several times but could not be hooked;

The drain of the water tank was also blocked;

Qianlong 1 in the transparent water tank began to tilt.The sea water is churning, the bubbles are cloudy, as if the building is about to fall, it is extremely frightening.

Zheng Tingxiang stopped the tune, and his face became stiff: "This is over, there are people from the review committee among the onlookers. If such a big mess happened, those people would have more excuses!"

Holland's legs went weak.His thin body seemed to fall over when blown, leaning against the railing.Muttered: "It's over, I was wrong, I was wrong! I shouldn't take risks, I shouldn't use internal combustion engines..."

The situation in the dock was chaotic, like an earthquake site, with a diameter of five meters around Huo Lan.Not a single person.

He seemed to have turned into a plague, and everyone was afraid that he would not be able to avoid it.

"You are wrong, but the adventurous spirit is still commendable..."

Suddenly, a steady human voice.It rang in Holland's ear.

Such a familiar voice? !

Huo Lan raised his divine eyes, and saw a very tall man wearing a hat, and Shi Shiran walked up to him.

"You are... Long, Master Long!"

Huo Lan saw the handsome face under the hat, was astonished like a landslide and tsunami, and blurted out: "You, you are not in a coma..."

"That's blindfold!"

Long Hao smiled lightly, and patted Huo Lan on the shoulder: "Let's clean up the mess first, the drain is blocked, won't you knock on the glass?"

After finishing speaking, Long Hao threw a bottle and hit it on the glass wall of the transparent water tank. The light red liquid disappeared in a flash, and there was a big hole in the wall!

The water gushes out.

Long Hao's appearance seemed to give Huo Lan a shot in the arm. Next, he cheered up and spent more than an hour to finally control the situation at No. 3 Dock.

No fatalities were caused. The two operators in Qianlong 1 were only in shock due to excessive water intake. After rescue, their lives were in danger.

Huo Lan sent someone to clean up the mess at No. 3 Dock, while he himself called Zheng Tingxiang and hid in a room to discuss.

In the eyes of others, this is what it should mean. It is strange that such a big accident is caused by an experiment without discussing the follow-up response strategy.

After closing the door, Huo Lan and Zheng Tingxiang relaxed their tense faces, showing uncontrollable joy: "Master, is it really you?!"

Long Hao sat on the chair, made a pot of tea by himself, and laughed while drinking: "Why, you don't seem to believe that I'm fine?"

"No, how is it possible!"

"Master Long, you are fine. For us, it is the greatest good news. I am so happy that I am speechless!"

Long Hao sat there in good condition, which means that "the Earl of Beihai is in a coma" is a rumor. With Long Hao present, the development of the submarine will naturally be guaranteed, and any cuts in funding will no longer be the solution to worrying about Huo Lan and Zheng Tingxiang. problem!

"I came to see you secretly this time, keep it secret, you know?"

"Know!"

"understand!"

Both Huo Lan and Zheng Tingxiang are not fools. If nothing else, just look at Long Hao's attire. It's not time to announce his sobriety.

"I won't stay for too long, but as soon as I came today, you two gave me a big 'surprise'!"

Long Hao put down his teacup and said meaningfully.

Huo Lan knew what Long Hao was referring to. He blushed and said, "My lord, changing the engine is all my idea. If you want to blame it, then you can blame me. It's up to Zheng Guan!"

Zheng Tingxiang also immediately said: "Master Long, there is a reason for this. It is like this... In order not to be cut in funds, Mr. Huo Lan temporarily switched to internal combustion engines. In fact, he has worked very hard. No. 1 and No. 2 are electric motors. The power has also increased by 35 times compared to four months ago! I also agreed to this experiment, and there is my signature on the consultation form. If you blame me, I will punish you too!"

The two supported each other and bowed their heads to admit their mistakes. It was a posture of sharing difficulties.

"Who said you will be punished?"

Long Hao laughed.

No penalty?

Huo Lan and Zheng Tingxiang both looked up.

"Under special circumstances, the spirit of being brave enough to make changes and take risks is commendable!"

There was a faint smile on Long Hao's face, but his eyes were still full of the coldness of a superior: "However, John Holland, your confidence in me is still not firm enough. That's why you made this change, right? ?”

Huo Lan was taken aback, and was about to argue a few words, but Long Hao's subsequent words gave him something to say.

"If you have full confidence in me, you won't believe that I fell into a coma."

"If you have faith in me, you won't worry about cutting funding."

"If you have enough confidence in me, you won't think of replacing it with an internal combustion engine when you encounter a bottleneck in the development of electric motors."

"In a word. John Holland, you still don't trust me enough to cause today's accident!"

Although the reason was a bit domineering, there was some truth in it that made Huo Lan want to argue.

"However, we did work hard, and we also dismantled the power cabin..." Zheng Tingxiang was still trying to explain something.

"After taking it apart, it turned out to be just an ordinary electric motor on the market. Disappointing, isn't it?"

"Uh. Mmm..."

"I said long ago that Qianlong 1 is an experimental ship made by me with a special method. If it is to be mass-produced, the key problem lies in the electric motor!" Looking at the desktop: "But what about you, it's been four months. How many power experts have you found? How many power experts have you found? Perhaps, in your heart, you have an idea in your mind, and you have a way out, and wait until one day to develop The electric motor has hit a bottleneck. Then replace it with another power source, right?"

When it comes to scientific research, sometimes you are most afraid of "double-faced and three-handed, with a retreat". Only with the belief that if you fail, you will succeed, can you achieve your goal!

"Hey……"

Huo Lan and Zheng Tingxiang looked at each other and sighed a little ashamedly.

Long Hao's words got to the bottom of his heart. Huo Lan and Zheng Tingxiang did not invite a few experts in electricity and power. Their budget was used to hire talents in hull and machinery. Lan, who is half a bucket of water, leads a few second-rate assistants to "do nothing" without a plan, and it's purely research.

"Okay, don't sigh!"

Long Hao stood up, "I kept my word just now, this time I won't punish you, but I won't be an example. The power of the submarine must be an electric motor! This is not negotiable!"

"Thank you, Master (Count)!"

"Okay, the funding will not be short of you, and I also found for you the genius who can lead the breakthrough in electric motor technology, yes, it is Nikola Tesla! With him, I believe that the bottleneck of research will not be Another bottleneck!"

"Master, have you found him? Where is he?"

The earliest whereabouts of Tesla was told to Long Hao by Zheng Tingxiang's assistant, Lao You. In the past few months, there has been no news. Zheng Tingxiang thought that this "person tracing plan" had run aground!

"he is……"

Long Hao was stunned for a moment, patted his head, and said: "Ha, if there is no accident, he should have reported to the Kunpeng Research Institute. You only need to go back to Qianji City to see him!"

It is said that after coming down from the Aria, Long Hao drank the wind wine again, and secretly came to Shanyi City to inspect the development of the 'Alchemy Line'. He really didn't care about the little Tesla!

Fortunately, he remembered that Lin Mo, a clever little fat man, was arranged to stay by Tesla's side, so nothing would go wrong.

"That's great, let's pack up and go back right away!"

Zheng Tingxiang has heard about Tesla's ability in electricity, and he has also instilled some in John Holland. In addition, the two of them are in a "low valley" at the moment, and they are not holding on to anything as a life-saving straw. Therefore, they were so emotional that they wished they could fly back to Qianji City, hold Tesla down, and force him to start the development of the electric motor immediately!

"There's no rush to leave. Besides, I think it's more suitable to develop submarines and electric motors in this 'return' shipyard. Why don't you send a telegram and ask Tesla to come over?"

"Yes, the young master is still thoughtful! I'm going to send a telegram right now!"

Several important bases added below, such as Hongri Bay, Qianji City, Shanyi City, and Jiahuan Dock, have set up telegraph lines, and the speed of communication is no less than that of those developed European and American countries.

Zheng Tingxiang came back after going away for a while, and made a gesture, meaning it was done.

"It will take a while for Tesla to come over. In fact, I came here today, apart from watching an unexpected 'good show', I originally wanted you to watch an experiment!"

Long Hao drank all the tea and revealed his true intentions with a smile.

"What experiment?"

Holland and the two asked in unison.

"Follow me, you will understand then!"

……

On the east side of Shanyi City, there is a piece of green and green grassland. Well, it may be a little bit called a grassland, but it is definitely a pearl in this barren land of Xiajia.

At this moment, the sun was shining like smoke, and the heat wave was like rolling. The cattle, horses and sheep on the grassland were all lazy and tired, with their heads down, looking for tender grass one after another. Occasionally, their tails moved, but they were fighting mosquitoes.

This is the animal husbandry area of ​​the brood breeding factory. At the beginning, the development and construction team searched for several addresses for Long Jiale to choose from. In the end, he chose this place.

The grass quality here is not the best, the amount of grass is not the most, and the temperature difference between day and night is not the smallest, but who makes it the topography?

There are two huge lakes next to it, and a natural valley that cannot be recognized without walking within a kilometer!

On the grassland, more than a dozen horses galloped, startling many timid lambs. The rider on the first horse was the factory director of the brood: Long Jiale.

Long Jiale is more than 40 years old, with a simple and honest appearance. At this moment, he is excited, and while riding the horse, he turns around to introduce and ask: "The left front is the fishing ground, and the right front is the mg production workshop. Master, where are we going?" where?"

ps: There are too few subscriptions, I want to stand up, brothers who are still watching pirated versions, should you also stand up?

thank you~
