Chapter 1504 Research on Ironclad Ship Improvement Technology

In April of the fifteenth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao returned from a sea trial at Fucun Shipyard at noon in the east. He comforted Kristen Silian, who was overwhelmed with excitement, and asked her to go to Tai Chi.

After the village branch recalled Xuande and arranged for naval heroes to find suppliers for the production of ironclad ships, Qu Mao needed to have some communication with Kong Ming.

Because Qu Mao has decided to temporarily stay at the Fukumura Shipyard on the outlying island for a period of time. Although Qu Mao is very satisfied with the ironclad ship, he still feels that it is a pity that there are only seven guns, so he wants to personally help the ironclad ship research and development project team.

Some ironclad ships have been reduced in weight to free up counterweight for carrying more artillery.

Therefore, after Christian Silian was persuaded by Qu Mao, Qu Mao turned to Kong Ming and said to Kong Ming: "Kong Ming, he plans to stay at the Fukumura Shipyard for a while to discuss the improvement and optimization of the ironclad ship with the ironclad ship research and development project team.

Of course, at this stage, the optimization direction he is mainly considering is to reduce the weight of the ironclad ship, and shift the weight reduction to adding artillery. If I have nothing else to do, I can stay there to participate in their discussion. If I have other things to do, I can stay there to participate in their discussions.

If you need to take care of things, you can also go and do your own things.”

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and said: "Sir, since you want to stay there and personally participate in the technical guidance task of improving the ironclad ship, I will naturally ask you to go back to the lord's cabin and take full responsibility for the chores in the entire Yi Emperor's territory. Lord, please don't do that.

It is not Dong’s professional field.

Xuande is currently fighting in the branch territory of Taiji Village. Even if Christian Silian goes to find him in person, it will probably take a few days after he returns, and he also needs to know the situation in advance.

Therefore, Shudong has made an appointment with you for the time being. Shudong will accompany Xuande to Fucun Shipyard on the outlying island in a week to discuss the specific arrangements for the production planning of the ironclad ship with you.

Zhudong believes that ironclad ships must be produced, used, optimized, and iterated at the same time. Such advanced weapons must be deployed into their navy as soon as possible."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "Please don't. He said that doing big things depends on Kong Ming. He thinks my arrangement is very appropriate. I'll go back to the lord's cabin. Let's work together to produce an ironclad ship for the navy as soon as possible."

The person in charge of the ironclad ship R&D project who had been accompanying Qu Mao and Kong Ming was extremely excited when he heard that Qu Mao was staying at Fucun Shipyard to assist in the improvement of the ironclad ship. He took out the magic communication crystal and informed that all the ironclad ship research and development project teams were in Fucun.

We gathered in the largest conference room in the shipyard, waiting for Qu Mao to come and instruct everyone on their techniques.

Qu Mao asked Kong Ming to arrange a few simple words, and Kong Ming said goodbye to Qu Mao and took the steam train back to the outlying island reservoir village. He didn't know whether Kong Ming would go back to the Power Research Institute or the Mechanical Research Institute. Anyway, those two research institutes were both in the outlying island reservoir.

Village, before Kong Ming asked to return to the lord's cabin.

Under the leadership of the person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project, Qu Mao came to the largest conference room of the Fucun Shipyard. Looking at the darkness of human heads outside the conference room, Qu Mao was so surprised that he could not close his mouth.

The person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project shouted at the top of his lungs to all the participants: "Sir, do you agree with the legend of our chief scientist in Emperor Yi's territory? I believe we have all heard of it.

Your Excellency, please personally guide our research on ironclad ship improvement technology, if that is our chance..."

Qu Mao grabbed the person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project and said: "Stop yelling, it's useless, the people behind you can't hear it at all, what I have is not a conference room, what I have is an auditorium!"

How come so many people come?"

The person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project said: "Sir, you personally provide technical guidance, and I will naturally ask all members of the ironclad ship research and development project team to come over.

Ever since Lord Tianxuan criticized the slow progress of the ironclad ship research and development project in the eighth year of Tianxuan, Zhudong has been continuously working hard to expand the ironclad ship research and development project team. In addition to the logistics personnel who provide basic labor services, the ironclad ship research and development project team now has 1,764 R&D technicians.

…”

Qu Mao waved his legs and said: "There are so many people gathered there, let alone discussions. Even if he gave a speech, most people would not be able to hear it and there would be no interference."

In that way, I can just leave the R&D leaders in various fields and modules in the East, and others can go wherever they need to go, and just ask their leaders to report back."

The person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project said with a grimace: "Sir, even if there are no research and development leaders in various fields and modules, the total number of people is still 189. You..."

Qu Mao rolled his red eyes wildly and said with some annoyance: "Damn it! Then further narrow the scope. In terms of structure, power, firepower, armor, etc., just leave one chief engineer in Dongdong. The total number of people should be controlled to no more than 10 people.

, I will make arrangements immediately.

Nonsense, with thousands of people gathered there, Fukumura Shipyard has no normal business and wants to start a war?

Change the conference room to a small conference room that can only accommodate about 10 people. He will arrange fifth-level palace guards to guard the door of the conference room. They will work on the problem behind closed doors and will not come out until the issue of weight reduction of the ironclad ship is solved. "

The person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project quickly re-selected the participants in accordance with Qu Mao's request. Initially, the person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project was selected by Wai Liyi and 9 people were selected, and Qu Mao added exactly 10 people.

10 people came to a small conference room. Under the guard of the fifth-level palace guard, even food and tea were brought in by special personnel. No one in the meeting was allowed to leave the small conference room except in the toilet.

In that conference room, everyone had a full discussion on how to reduce the load of the current ironclad ship prototype. Some people even proposed reducing the thickness of the ironclad ship's armor, but Qu Mao directly rejected it.

Of course, there are many constructive achievements, such as changing the iron bed outside the cabin to an iron mesh bed, Qu Mao's earliest proposal of changing the railings on the deck to hollow steel pipes, etc., including seats outside the cabin, gun mounts, etc.

The comprehensive weight loss is calculated to be 50 tons.

Qu Mao was very satisfied with such results for five consecutive days and five nights. After all, a conventional cannon was only about 3 tons.

Before opening the door, Qu Mao opened his red eyes and asked excitedly: "How long will it take to complete those modifications?"

The person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project, who also had red eyes, counted on his legs and fingers and said: "Sir, Zhudong estimates that the modification will be almost completed in a month.

Bu Nao Zhidong insisted on adding 4 conventional cannons. After all, there were more cannons, and there were also requirements for the amount of artillery shells that could be carried.

Taken together, Donglai has a net weight loss of 20 tons. I’m afraid their armored ship’s full load speed will also increase a bit..."

Qu Mao waved his legs and said: "One month is too long, half a month at most. Arrange enough people and work overtime to make improvements."

The person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project immediately said: "No, sir! I will complete the mission to the death!"
Chapter completed!
