Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 505 Investing in Shipbuilding

Three days later, the Engineering Institute of the Eighth Route Army Naval School.

Facing those eager eyes for knowledge, Huang He answered all the questions raised by the "students" with a smile.

When it comes to learning, we are not afraid of slow overall progress, but we are afraid of someone having a bad attitude. When facing comrades with zero foundation, Huang has always been known for his patience.

"The above are basically all the technical essentials of the Type 314A sea search radar. I hope that you can summarize them carefully after class. If you encounter any problems, you can come to my office at any time."

"By the way, teachers, don't forget to go to the Academic Affairs Office to pick up your textbooks."

"These textbooks and tutorial materials are analytical documents compiled by the Weapons Experimentation and Research Bureau. I hope that everyone can integrate the knowledge they have learned as soon as possible and cultivate more technical talents for the new navy."

As the Art of War says: Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.

Since the outbreak of the Pacific War, radar technology has emerged as a new force with its outstanding performance, gradually replacing visual detection to become the most important means of detecting the enemy in naval battles.

As a time traveler and military industry leader, Huang He naturally understood that those who lag behind will be beaten, so he installed an anti-air and anti-sea search type on the Tongan destroyer.

However, these two radars, which do not even have official code names, are simply transitional products with immature technology, and their main function is teaching.

If they were still used in actual combat, it would be a sign of underestimating the Japanese Combined Fleet. No matter how rubbish the Japanese radar in the grooves was, it was not an equipment that could be matched by a radar.

Adhering to the principle of strengthening the country through science and technology and making TG great again.

As soon as Huang He learned about the contact between Zhong Chou, he led his comrades in the bureau to work overtime to advance technology, and finally developed the latest weapons: 314A and B radars before Zhong Chou's trading fleet arrived in Weihai.

The former is responsible for sea searches.

With this thing, the North Sea Fleet's screen force in the future will be able to monitor large surface ships within 45 kilometers and small boats within 30 kilometers in advance.

The latter is naturally the air search type.

Its maximum search distance for bombers is 1942 kilometers, and its maximum search distance for fighters is 1943 kilometers. With such excellent theoretical performance, it was definitely a well-deserved villain nemesis in -.

Of course, the two radars mentioned above are not the entire assets of the Weapons Testing and Research Bureau.

When the navy has large ships in the future, the bureau will definitely take out corresponding high-end equipment again.

After hearing Huang He’s closing speech, all the comrades in the classroom stood up and applauded.

Their eyes were bursting with enthusiasm and gratitude, and even if their palms turned red from clapping, they still offered their most sincere respect to the teachers in front of them.

Although the time we spent together was not long, only three days including the training, no one would dislike an expert who never hides his shortcomings and is extremely patient.

"Director Huang, we will definitely not let down the Border Region and the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau's trust in the Navy."

"In the coming days, we must review diligently, strive to digest all the technical essentials as soon as possible, and pass on the new knowledge to the students."

"great, good luck!"

······
After successfully completing the course, Huang He hummed a cheerful tune and rode his bicycle out of the engineering building of the Naval Academy.

During this trip to Weihai, he completed all his tasks successfully and could return to the Weapons Testing and Research Bureau as soon as the two new 314A and B radars were officially put into service on board.

When passing by the No. 170 repair and construction center that was about to be completed, the sound of pile hammers hitting the ground attracted Huang's attention. With the idea of ​​joining in the fun, he decisively turned and headed straight to the factory area. He saw that in the original open space by the sea, four 35×12.5×-meter dry docks were expected to be completed one day.

"Wow, that's fast."

"It's only been half a year, and the four modern dry docks have entered the final stage. It seems that before we take back the large shipyards in China, Liugong Island should be able to take on the task of repairing surface ships."

The original Majingzi Dock on the island is an old relic left over from the Beiyang Fleet.

Although Dai Ying and Ben Zi had upgraded it to some extent during the enemy occupation period, the dry dock was inherently flawed and could not escape the limitations of the times no matter how much it was renovated.

There was no way around it. The Beiyang Fleet’s flagship, Dingyuan, was 94 meters long and 18 meters wide, so the accompanying construction center would naturally not be that big.

If the dry dock is not rebuilt, even if the North Sea Fleet has large ships larger than cruisers, it will not be able to exert its maximum combat effectiveness due to maintenance problems.

Just as Huang He was wearing a safety helmet and walking towards to watch, the chief engineer who was originally in charge of the overall situation on the shore suddenly came over.

As if he had guessed something from the joy on his ally's face, he hesitated for a moment before finally pouring a bucket of cold water on him.

"Huang, the scale of the No. 2 Construction Center is indeed impressive, but its maximum carrying capacity is only the La Galissonnier-class light cruiser. Treaty heavy cruisers like the Algerian class cannot enter at all."

"And the sisters Richelieu and Jean Bart that you've been thinking about, these two sisters are not yet finished. Especially the latter, her overall completion rate is even less than 70%."

"So, if you, the Eighth Route Army, really want to lease the entire Toulon Fleet in one go, you must take it over or build a large shipyard as soon as possible."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Huang He's face froze instantly. He looked so bitter, just like an unlucky guy who lost his wallet.

In fact, he understood what the French chief engineer meant, but the well-known large military shipyards in the country were basically not within the sphere of influence of the Eighth Route Army.

The only available shipyard, Qingdao, was looted by the Japanese a few years ago and became an empty shell. Otherwise, the comrades would not have built a repair and construction center on Liugong Island.

Thinking of this, Huang He subconsciously turned on the awakening function of Yonghu, trying to find a solution from the system.

As if sensing the host's distress, it woke up the kitten and unlocked some permissions without saying a word, allowing Huang to get an advance look at the navy's related decisions.

"Invest in shipbuilding: An ocean-going fleet that sweeps across the land often requires a strong industrial base to support it. We should mobilize some resources to help us build our own shipyard.

Unlock time: 60 days.

Effect 1: Add two off-map naval docks.

Effect 2: The civilian factories in the system immediately unlock the construction rights of the naval docks and provide corresponding large-scale equipment production lines in reality.

"Destroyer Project: Effects unknown."

"Light Cruiser Project: Effects Unknown."

"Heavy Cruiser Project: Effects Unknown."

"Modern submarines: unknown effectiveness."

"Naval aviation: Effect unknown." (End of chapter)
