Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Shen Wanqing said first, "Okay, let's go." Then she winked at Lin Yuan and led everyone to the pier she had arranged before.

Lin Yuan, Shen Wanqing and Deng Shichang walked in the front, and the soldier walked in the back, chatting and laughing with the soldiers all the way, Lin Yuan asked Deng Shichang in a low voice: "Deng Guandai, do you know the origin of that soldier?"

Deng Shichang shook his head and said, "I don't know either. He came with me from the capital. I thought he was my prisoner."

Shen Wanqing also whispered: "Are people in this era so skilled in martial arts? Not many people can dodge my move."

The three of them talked a lot along the way, and when they arrived at the pier, the boss of the ship saw a group of soldiers coming, and was so frightened that he was out of his wits. The soldier first commanded his men and said, "You guys, go and move the boxes to the ship!"

One of the soldiers dared to ask, "My lord, where is Deng Guan taking this?"

The soldier slapped him on the head and scolded with a smile: "You are the only one who has trouble!"

When all the boxes were loaded onto the boat, the soldier got on the boat first, and said to Deng Shichang with a smile: "Deng Guandai, come up quickly." Then he said to the soldiers: "Go back, what's next for you?" Just push it on me!"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "No matter what medicine he sells in the gourd, let's talk about it after getting on the boat." So Lin Yuan winked at the two of them, and the three of them boarded the boat together.

After the boat sailed, the soldier smiled and said: "Deng Guandai, my name is Shen Tao, I knew you wanted to leave, and I wrote down all your conversations."

Lin Yuan asked: "Then how do you know the contents of that letter?"

Shen Tao said with a smile: "I don't know either. I thought it would be two days before Mr. Deng left, so I waited outside. I didn't expect to make me wait!"

Shen Wanqing asked: "How did you avoid my slap on you?"

Shen Tao looked astonished, and asked suspiciously: "Is it difficult to avoid that blow?"

Shen Wanqing's hand-holding knife was praised by the instructors at the secret agent training base back then. Shen Tao laughed and said, "Maybe I have practiced these things since I was a child, and I am used to it."

Deng Shichang asked: "I am a guilty person, what are you doing with me?"

Shen Tao laughed and said, "Of course I'm following you to fight devils. To be honest, I think our Qing Dynasty is hopeless..."

Before the words fell, Deng Shichang said angrily: "No nonsense!"

Shen Tao looked helpless, turned his head and stopped talking.

There was nothing to say all night, and after another day, everyone returned to Ryukyu and arranged for Deng Shichang and Shen Tao to stay. Lin Yuan ignored other things and went to the steel factory to see the situation.

Before arriving at the steel plant, the rescuer saw a long line of dragons from a distance connecting the port to the steel plant. When he got closer, he realized that the equipment on the ship could not be transported to the steel plant after it was unloaded, even though the site of the steel plant was far from the port. It is very close, but there is still a distance after all. There are no large transport vehicles in this era, so the local people had to be mobilized, some pushing carts, some driving horse-drawn carts, to transport the parts of the equipment to the steel factory for assembly.

The same thing happened to coal. Last time, the British tried to replace high-quality bituminous coal with low-quality lignite, which failed. This time, the bituminous coal was honestly transported. Due to the limited number of horse-drawn carts and donkey carts of the common people, the carts were all used to pull equipment parts. , the common people here have to use a basket and a dustpan to load the coal and transport it to the factory, and some people just use a large cloth to wrap the coal and leave.

Just as Lin Yuan was watching, he suddenly saw an old man waving to him. When Lin Yuan took a closer look, he realized that this man was wearing a Ming Dynasty costume and carrying a bag in his hand. It was Cheng Jiuye who had visited that day.

Lin Yuan hurried up to greet him, and said with a smile, "Master Jiu, why are you here?"

Cheng Jiuye said with a smile: "Your old man Liu Jinqiu asked me to burn a batch of porcelain. We finished it and sent it here."

Lin Yuan thought: "I haven't heard that Liu Jinqiu likes ceramics?" So he asked with a smile, "What kind of porcelain does he want?"

Cheng Jiuye said with a smile: "The things he wants are very ordinary, but they are not ordinary. He actually wants to burn some ceramic bricks. There should be a hole for ventilation in these bricks. I made one and I will show it to him today." look."

So the two went to the iron and steel factory. On the way, Master Cheng Jiu said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to be so difficult to build a steel factory. These things still need to be transported by horse-drawn cart."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning! Our navy used sampans to fight other destroyers at the beginning, but now we even have aircraft carriers!" Lin Yuan sent these few words with emotion, without considering Can Master Cheng Jiu understand?

Sure enough, Cheng Jiuye was like the monk of Zhang Er — he couldn't figure it out and asked, "What did you say?"

Lin Yuan waved his hands again and again and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, just pretend I didn't say it."

The two came to a factory building, which was used for coking. The engineers were installing coking equipment. Lin Yuan found an engineer and asked, "Where is Mr. Liu?"

The engineer stayed behind and said, "Mr. Liu is watching the converter over there."

Lin Yuan and Cheng Jiuye came to the workshop and saw Liu Jinqiu holding the equipment catalog and asking a British engineer: "Why is there no temperature measuring equipment in your equipment?"

The engineer looked blank and said, "The temperature of molten steel is more than 1300 degrees. I can't think of anything that can measure this temperature."

Different from iron and steel smelting in later generations, controlling the temperature of molten steel in this era mainly relies on the experience of workers. In fact, in modern times, many small and medium-sized enterprises still judge the temperature based on experience, and factories with strong technology use infrared thermometers.

Lin Yuan asked, "Old Liu, what's wrong?"

Liu Jinqiu said: "This British man has tripped us up again. I know that when making steel, you can judge the temperature by looking at the brightness of the furnace and the color of the molten steel, but this method doesn't work when refining. We know , the temperature can control the gas content in the molten steel, if the gas content in the molten steel is too much, it will have a great impact on the performance of the steel!"

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Old Liu, don't be angry. In this era, there are such advanced refining technologies, so you can just make do with them. When we develop further, these things will be available. The Beijing ship has infrared rays. The thermometer, but it is used to monitor the nuclear reactor, you can't take it off!"

At this time, Master Cheng Jiu coughed lightly, cupped his hands and said, "Liu Xiandi, I brought the brick you asked me to burn last time."

When Liu Jinqiu heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "That's great, is it made of bauxite?"

Cheng Jiuye smiled and said, "Of course." As he spoke, he handed over a brick with a pipe from his bag, and Liu Jinqiu took it in his hand, looked at it over and over again, and couldn't put it down.

Lin Yuan asked: "Old Liu, what do you want this thing for?"

Liu Jinqiu said with a smile: "This thing can be used for refining steel. We pass argon gas through this tube and blow it into the liquid steel to remove impurities such as hydrogen and oxygen."

Lin Yuan asked, "What does this have to do with bauxite?"

Liu Jinqiu said: "The main component of bauxite is aluminum oxide, which is used to smelt breathable bricks, which can withstand high temperatures." Then he sighed: "Oh, I have to sigh, the craftsmanship of our ancestors!"

Lin Yuan said again: "Did you just say argon gas? Where can we get argon gas?"

Liu Jinqiu said with a smile: "Of course there is a way, you don't have to worry."

At this time, Lin Yuan's communicator rang, and a message came that Shen Tao brought by Deng Shichang had fought with Fade Chen.
