Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he thought: "Yes, what if they don't understand? People are like this, and they always sneer at things they don't understand. Yuan Er and Du Ye'er have enmity with me. I gave them a chance to laugh at me, and they won't let it go."

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, just tell them about the advanced technology and see how they react, and then we can adjust accordingly, at worst, it's just a shame."

At this moment, Du Ye'er smiled and said, "Lord Lin, you've seen it pretty well, don't you? Should you teach me how to build a warship?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Of course, we will teach you some shipbuilding techniques, but your aptitude is too poor, it is not good for me to teach you in person, so I will let the janitor of our shipyard teach you some things."

Du Yeer said: "In that case, I'll call everyone over and study together, do you think it's okay?"

Lin Yuan nodded, and Du Yeer immediately said to one of his subordinates: "Go and call everyone in this factory!" After a while, all the Chinese and foreign craftsmen in the factory surrounded them, and Lin Yuan whispered to him. Wan Ling said, "Old Man, tell me."

Wan Ling cleared his throat and said: "I see that you have both riveting and welding here. Sooner or later the riveting process will be eliminated, so I have nothing to say. I always talk about your welding. The first thing I want to say is : The degree of automation of your cutting machines is so low that you still need people to operate them!"

Wan Ling was worried that this group of people would not understand, so it was inevitable that he would not have enough confidence when he spoke. This gave Du Yeer a chance to interject, and Du Yeer interjected in Chinese: "Listen to what he said? No need. Humans operate it, so is it necessary to use monkeys to operate it?" After speaking, he said it again in French, and then laughed wantonly.

Many of them in the crowd were brought by Du Yeer from France. Naturally, these people would wear a pair of trousers with Du Yeer. They laughed, but they all shook their heads. For them, the concept of automatic control is still too far away, so they don't believe that the machine can automatically complete the cutting work.

When Du Yeer was almost laughing, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "What's so funny about you, there is such a machine in our factory, our workers don't need to operate the cutting machine themselves, just press a few buttons, our The machine can automatically complete the cutting work!"

Du Yeer suppressed a smile and said: "Okay, we believe." He said with a smile to his subordinates: "We all believe it, don't we?" Everyone laughed again, and then Du Yeer asked: "Is it still true?" Is there anything you want to teach us?"

Seeing them, Wan Ling really didn't believe them, and his confidence became even weaker. He said, "Also, the things you use for cutting and welding are really outdated. We have already adopted—" When Wan Ling said this, He paused for a while. He originally wanted to say laser, but he hesitated because he thought that the word "laser" didn't exist in this era.

Du Yeer immediately asked mockingly: "What did you use?"

Wan Ling said: "This kind of thing has never been discovered in your country, so it is impossible for you to have this word in your language. Even if I say it, you can't understand it."

Du Yeer said with a smile: "You underestimate my Chinese level too much. As long as you tell the meaning, I can explain it clearly to my compatriots."

Wan Ling said: "This kind of thing is called a 'laser'..."

Before Wan Ling finished speaking, Du Yeer immediately laughed and said, "'Laser'? It must be a kind of 'light', right?" Then he raised his voice and said, "Did you hear that, they actually said that they can use light to cut and Welding metal, do you think it’s funny?” He finished speaking in Chinese, then said it again in French, and then laughed.

The Chinese craftsmen present saw the foreign devils laughing at their compatriots, so they didn't laugh, but they also felt that the "laser" was really incredible, so they all sighed, and some of them turned around and left. Turn the situation around, and showing technology becomes a laughing stock!"

So Lin Yuan whispered to Wan Ling: "Mr. Wan, you have to find a way to turn the situation around quickly? Tell them something they can understand!"

Wan Ling's forehead was covered with sweat, and he said, "I'm in a mess now, and I don't know what to say!"

Lin Yuan was also a little flustered, and whispered, "Didn't you guarantee me a ticket when you came here? Why can't it work now?"

Wan Ling said helplessly: "It's useless for you to complain about me..." Yuan Er saw the embarrassment of the two of them, and Yuan Er said mockingly: "Do you teach? If you don't, hurry up from the stern Let’s go out of the parts manufacturing workshop, we’d better learn by ourselves!”

Du Yeer immediately translated Yuan Er's words to the foreigners. They burst into laughter after listening to Yuan Er's words. Lin Yuan listened to Yuan Er's words, and the word "ship stern parts manufacturing workshop" suddenly inspired him. I felt like a person trapped in a dark room suddenly found the door out!

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Just go out, there is no need for this workshop to exist, what are we waiting for if we don't go out!"

Du Yeer asked immediately after hearing it: "What are you talking about? There is no need for this workshop to exist? What does this mean?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Haven't you noticed how slow the construction of your warships is?"

Du Yeer asked: "Slow? Where is it slow?"

Lin Yuan replied: "Let me ask you, you have a 'stern parts manufacturing workshop', do you also have a 'keel parts manufacturing workshop'? Do you also have a 'bow parts manufacturing workshop'?"

Du Yeer replied: "Of course, shipyards all over the world are like this!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Then let me ask you, do the components of the bow, stern and keel have similar structural shapes and manufacturing techniques?"

Du Yeer is an experienced engineer. Lin Yuan's words made him vaguely aware of something, his expression became serious, and Lin Yuan continued: "You can think about it, if there are two similar ones on the bow and stern Parts, the equipment used to make these two parts is also similar, if they are built in the bow and stern workshops respectively, then two sets of equipment and two groups of people need to be arranged! Do you think the speed will be very slow?"

"If we cancel the division of bow and stern when building a ship, but divide all parts into groups, and combine similar parts into one group for processing, don't you think the speed is much faster?"

Du Yeer couldn't laugh this time, because what Lin Yuan said was so reasonable. This arrangement can indeed greatly increase the manufacturing speed of parts, and also save money and man-hours. The workers present also understand this truth , couldn't help nodding one after another.

Wan Ling whispered in Lin Yuan's ear: "You mean 'group technology', right? This has already been popularized in our shipyard, why didn't I think of it."

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Manufacturing similar parts together is the essence of group technology. The modern shipbuilding industry uses this kind of technology, but before the rise of modern industry, the shipbuilding industry of this era is still continuing the previous You don’t care much about the history of the shipbuilding method that divides the bow and the stern, so it’s natural to think of it.”

Wan Ling nodded with a smile, and exclaimed, "You still have a way!" Laughing, he suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted, "No!"
