Chapter 871 Paying to Work
...

Faced with this letter delivered from Qingzhou Donglai Port and the content contained in it.

Chen Xi, who personally checked it out, was completely surprised and even more unbelievable about this situation.

In making huge ships, most of the structural problems have been overcome by relying on this world's special craftsmanship and materials.

Therefore, even if a huge ship appears, Chen Xi will not show any surprise or surprise.

But using pure steel to build a tens of thousands of tons of steel battleship, this unique thought and idea, not because of a certain person, but because of the idea put forward by this person, shocked Chen Xi.

In particular, it also explains the reasons and process, proving the authenticity of this matter and the rationality of its production.

Chen Xi looked at the pile of paper that was as thick as his fingers and couldn't believe how much time Lu Jun spent writing this thing.

But it is undeniable that, just looking at the things and data on paper, if he did not know some circumstances, I am afraid that even he would think that a steel battleship of this level and weight could be manufactured.

It's a pity that Chen Xi, who knows a few things, is very clear about the high cost and huge price of such a huge steel battleship.

Moreover, the navy is different from the army. If the army is defeated, even if it is an ambush from all sides, there is still a glimmer of hope.

If the navy loses the war, it will really be gone.

A century-old navy might be wiped out in a day.

Compared to the Army, the Navy is more of a technical branch, requiring more experience and skills, as well as equipment.

In this case, if you really have this kind of steel battleship, it will indeed be able to create a generational difference in equipment, thus changing the deficiencies in technology and experience.

But the cost was too high, so high that even Chen Xi could not help but frown.

Relying on the ability of left hand to right hand, the price of steel can basically be suppressed, and it can even be achieved that in manufacturing steel, apart from the cost of workers, it can be done without incurring any expenses.

But even so, the labor cost of manufacturing [-] tons of steel will not be less than [-] billion.

And with such a huge price, it was difficult for Chen Xi, who was already in a critical period, to spare the money to pay.

After all, it is not only the cost of workers, but also the time cost of loading materials.

But I have to admit that the drawings and plans produced by Lu Jun are quite excellent.

He did not use other false plans to deceive him, but revealed his actual creation with real swords and guns.

With a trace of curiosity, Chen Xi went directly to Liu Tong and asked about some things and the results.

The final result made Chen Xi fall into entanglement and thinking.

If we really want to manufacture it according to this level and drawings, we will also have to gradually solve the problems that arise in the ship.

Even if Liu Tong is willing to help, the time will not be less than five years.

Building ships is not simply about tonnage.

It is impossible to say that it would take one month to build a ship of [-] tons with all our strength, and only [-] months to build a ship of [-] tons.

The difficulty of ship manufacturing is not a simple plus or minus sign, but a variable that appears based on technical mastery.

Especially when the tonnage reaches this level, the technical content and material strength required will reach another level.

It can even be said that before World War II, there were only a few countries in the world that could manufacture [-]-ton steel battleships.

And if we put it at the end of the second century AD, the appearance of such a huge and heavy steel battleship would basically mean crushing.

But that is only under normal circumstances. This world is not normal at all. In addition to normal materialism, it also includes idealism.So after careful consideration, Chen Xi finally made a decision and then returned it to the Jiangdong Lu family.

As long as he takes a serious rest for two years, he should be able to come up with enough capital to see such a large steel battleship.

Although it is known that such a large steel battleship will take a long time to manufacture, which is a quite obvious shortcoming, it is not without its advantages. The production of steel battleships takes a long time, which means that most materials do not need to be prepared in advance. If you have time later, you can just make it up slowly, and it won't waste too much time.

As for Lu Jun of the Jiangdong Lu family, he was not surprised after seeing such a reply, let alone made a refutation or second appeal.

It's not that he gave up on his dream, it's that he has understood the reality.

Nearly [-] tons of steel are enough to arm an army of millions of people.

In this case, it is crazy to give him so many soldiers' equipment to make ships.

No one else with any sense would agree to his request.

It was obvious that everyone in the Government Affairs Office of Fenggao City in Taishan County was quite rational about this. They were not dazzled by this excellent drawing and issued certain instructions that did not use their brains.

But the letter gave him a pending reply and gave him some hope.

If he just held on to this hope, he wouldn't say anything.

But the Gongsun family gave him another surprise, a steel ship under construction.

Lu Jun was completely unimpeded in this aspect, and he easily saw the bizarre shipyard in the Gongsun family's shipbuilding center.

Although they understood Lu Jun's identity, the people who built the ship did not stop him too much, but they still reported it to their superiors.

Not long after that, Gongsun Yu from the Gongsun family ran over in person and confronted Lu Jun face to face.

After the conversation between the two, Lu Jun also understood the origin and manufacturing process of this steel battleship.

Different from the large steel battleship he envisioned, the steel battleship in front of him was relatively much smaller.

We have even made improvements and reductions in many places, as well as constant debugging to solve the problems.

Gongsun Yu did not stop Lu Jun who was watching.

When building a ship normally, what can you see from the outside?
The appearance, structure, materials used, and the number of people who built it are things that cannot be changed even if you see them.

After all, there are only two of them in Donglai, so instead of being secretive, it would be better to act openly and openly.

The orders he grabs are his, and the orders the Lu family grabs belong to the Lu family. It's fair.

And this steel battleship was the order obtained by the Gongsun family.

Later, to Gongsun Yu's surprise, Lu Jun chose to join the manufacturing of steel battleships on the spot.

Gongsun Yu originally wanted to refuse. After all, once others join, it means that profits will be distributed, and how to cooperate is also a big problem.

However, Lu Jun simply chose not to be paid and paid to help with the work himself.

When faced with this situation, Gongsun Yu agreed without even thinking about it.

With people from the Jiangdong Lu family helping, the work speed will definitely be much faster, and many problems can be solved. Not only that, it can also significantly reduce labor costs and increase the profits of the family.

You can even learn from the current Jiangdong Lu family's technology through this kind of cooperation, so as to improve the Gongsun family's technology, open up new directions, and go further.
