Zhou Yu first developed the alkaline open-hearth steelmaking method. The alkaline open-hearth steelmaking method is an open-hearth steelmaking method that smelts in a smelting chamber built with alkaline refractory materials.
The bottom and bank of the alkaline open-hearth furnace are made of magnesia or magnesium-chromium refractory materials, and the furnace top is composed of suspended magnesia bricks or alumina-magnesia bricks. The smelting process uses alkaline slag, which can effectively remove the molten steel in the molten steel.
Phosphorus and some degree of desulfurization.
The deoxidizer and alloy additives were optimized. Although he knew the specific technical details of the oxygen top-blown converter and electric furnace steelmaking method, the current steelmaking process could not meet its tempering requirements, so Zhou Yu could only wait and make his own in the future.
The process conditions are sufficient.
Then he drew a later improved version of the Mauser 1898b, also known as the Mauser 98b. Its main features are a fixed double-row magazine, a rotating and pull-down bent bolt, and an empty magazine hanging design. The gun
The barrel is a 23.6-inch rifle, and the sling ring is placed on the side of the gun body for easy portability.
Ammunition: 7.92 mm
So we just have to wait.
He then successively wrote simplified versions of "Chemistry", "Chinese Language and Literature", "Mathematics", "Physics", "Mechanics", "Mechanics", "Electronics" and other books.
After Chen Zhaoao and other technicians saw it, they regarded Zhou Yu as a literary star from heaven who came down to earth. He also silently thanked those corrupt officials in his heart. If it were not for the frame-up and exclusion by corrupt officials, they would still be loyal to the Qing Dynasty!
Just when Zhou Yu was writing a book and explaining it to Chen Zhaoao and others, and Chen Zhaoao and others were listening to Zhou Yu's explanation and comparing the books to read and understand, finally, the news of Chen Fang's success in purchasing shipyards, steel plants, land, etc. came.
.
This time, because Chen Fang knew the actual situation better, she only spent a total of less than 1.1 million pounds to win all the matters. Everyone was excited when they heard about it.
Zhou Yu thought to himself: He finally has industrial factories such as steel mills and shipyards. It is really not easy!
Zhou Yu immediately led everyone straight to the shipyard. When he arrived at the shipyard, Zhou Yu first held a meeting with all personnel. The meeting was attended by technicians, mechanics, laborers, designers, chemists, etc. from the shipyard.
Among these people, Zhou Yu also discovered a super talented person: Laval (Afpatrikde, born in 1845, a Swedish engineer. He was the inventor of the single-stage impulse steam turbine in later generations. He invented the single-stage impulse steam turbine in 1882. 89
Obtained the British patent for the expansion nozzle in 2008.
He made outstanding contributions to the research on nozzle shape, nozzle design, and strength design.
How could such a high-level talent work in this small shipyard? Zhou Yu felt pain and happiness at the same time.
One advantage of Zhou Yu is that he doesn't waste any brain cells to figure it out, so he uses Laval as the butterfly effect of his time travel! Zhou Yu thought.
At the meeting, Zhou Yu announced in pure London English that from now on, on the basis of the original salary, each worker will receive a monthly salary increase of US$10, junior technicians will receive a monthly salary increase of US$15, and each mid-level technician will receive a monthly salary increase of US$15.
The monthly salary increase is 20 US dollars, the monthly salary increase for senior technicians is 30 US dollars, and the salary increase for senior mechanics, senior designers and senior chemists is 50 US dollars.
There were important inventions and bonuses. The workers cheered loudly because in Hawaii at that time, 5 US dollars was enough for a person's ordinary living expenses for a month.
After the meeting, Zhou Yu fired the supervisors left by the Spanish shipyard owner, as well as some workers who Chen Fang investigated as unqualified. He asked the remaining workers, a total of more than 600 people, to return to their jobs.
Go up and wait for the mission.
Immediately, the production tasks of medium and large ocean freighters were arranged.
But he left those senior technicians alone and took them to the laboratory, talked to them one by one, and assigned them tasks. Finally, Zhou Yu had a private meeting with Laval.
Mr. Laval, are you willing to work for me for a long time? Zhou Yu is very concerned about this.
The treatment given by Mr. Zhou is very good, but my family is not in Hawaii. Maybe I won't be able to work here for a long time.
This is not a problem, I can send someone to your hometown to bring your family to Hawaii.
In addition, I am also planning to build a villa area in Oahu for you engineers to live, and then give your family a monthly subsidy of US$100 for household expenses. I will increase your monthly salary to US$10,000.
Mr. Val, what do you think?….
Laval said excitedly: I am very grateful to Mr. Zhou for his generosity. I am very willing to serve you, Mr. Zhou, for the rest of my life. In this way, a great inventor was hit by Zhou Yu's sugar-coated bullets and signed a long-term contract of sale.
Mr. Raval, did you study in the audio-visual education departments of Stockholm University of Technology and Uppsala University in your early days?
Zhou Yu was a little worried and tested Laval, wanting to make sure that the Laval in front of him was the scientist in his mind. Don't spend a lot of money to find a Xibei guy, that would be too shocking.
Uh! That's so surprising. How did you know, Mr. Zhou?
I also heard what my friends from Great Britain said. So, Mr. Laval, do you have any research or ideas on steam turbines?
Laval was dancing excitedly. I had an idea. The power of current steam turbines is relatively small. I conceived a method called a single-stage impulse steam turbine.
However, my former boss, that stingy guy, was unwilling to invest, so I planned to go to Sweden or France to find investors after the contract ended. I wonder if Mr. Zhou is willing to invest in this project?
Of course I am willing, but I still have a project that I need you to help me with, sir. Zhou Yu smiled and touched his nose. Once Zhou Yu had the idea of a big bad wolf, he would touch his nose habitually.
Boss, are you also engaged in scientific research? What project is that? Laval was extremely surprised!
I call this project a single-stage reaction steam turbine. Its working principle is: According to the reaction principle, the airflow is further decompressed and expanded in a moving blade cascade. The moving blade cascade reduces the pressure and temperature of the air flow.
That is, the thermal energy of the airflow is converted into kinetic energy, generating acceleration, and then generating reaction force. I touched my nose again with my hand.
It is mainly divided into: main gas valve, regulating valve, steam turbine, condenser, air extractor, circulating water pump, condensate pump, low-pressure heater, deaerator, feed water pump, high-pressure heater, etc. The theoretical steam pressure I designed is about
It is 6.77~8.13mpa, about 8 horsepower.
There is also a technical topic I call an expansion nozzle.
I will give you the drawings and related technical data tomorrow.
Laval said with some trepidation: Relatively speaking, your design seems to be more energy-saving and efficient, boss. Why do you, boss, still invest in my project?
Haha! Everyone has their own strengths! Don’t belittle yourself, Mr. Laval!
On that day, Zhou Yu inspected a series of projects including steam turbines, design, materials, manufacturing, etc., including shipyards, machinery workshops, power plants, laboratories, steel plants, etc., with technicians such as Laval and Chen Zhaoao looking at them like little stars in admiration.
The main factories and workshops were installed and operated, and a series of technical innovations were introduced.
The next day, Zhou Yu brought a new factory system and incentives, leaving all management to Chen Zhaoao and others. He went into the laboratory and workshop and started the necessary machines, equipment, and processes.
renew.
It was not until April of the following year that Zhou Yu basically ended his experiments, which included newly created, one-hundred-ton steam hammers, steam engine grinders, synthetic steel rotors, front and back multi-degree cutter heads, and suspended
Crane arm, Mauser 98b production line, 7.92mmx57mm ammunition and 5.56mm ammunition production line.
Among them, everyone also made some jokes because of the emergence of steam engine grinders and multi-degree cutter heads.
Wei Han, an engineer who has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child, actually asked Zhou Yu idiotically: Are these two things weapons created by Zhou Yu?
When Zhou Yu told everyone that they were precision machinery and the most advanced machinery in the world today, our prodigy comrade made a big fuss on the spot. Wei Han was made fun of for a long time because of this.
However, when Zhou Yu used a grinder to polish the steel until it was as bright as a mirror, with multi-degree blades, and cut the iron ingot into random shapes, everyone opened their mouths in shock and had no time to make fun of Wei Han.
With such a magical weapon, it's no wonder that everyone is losing their composure.
Both of these machines are industrial machines commonly used in later generations, but in this era, they are the pinnacle of technology. No wonder Wei Han and the others are making a joke.
Based on his temporary limited strength, Zhou Yu tailor-made a front-loading 37 mm caliber small steel cannon. The shells fired are super-caliber ammunition shells with tail fins. The speed is about 800 meters per second.
.….
Zhou Yu thought in his mind; if he develops armor-piercing projectiles now, then using a small steel cannon to fire the armor-piercing projectiles will be able to penetrate 40 to 50 millimeters thick, and its effective distance will be more than 2,800 meters.
Zhou Yu also made a pull-back grenade. Zhou Yu knew that this thing was very useful, had low cost, simple process, and could be mass-produced. With Zhou Yu's current economic strength, it would be best to use it.
Since the machinery in the shipyard was not too precise, the processing speed of guns and bullets was very slow. Zhou Yu told them to use the assembly line manufacturing method for each casting. Once a large amount of precision machinery was purchased, the production volume could increase.
At the end of 1980, a group of Zhang Long, Tian Ergou and others arrived in Hawaii, but Zhou Yu was busy with scientific research at that time and did not have time to have in-depth discussions with them.
So he gave them a batch of Mauser 98bs that had been produced and asked them to train according to the outline he gave them. However, there are no large iron-clad ships yet, so they can only use small armed warships to practice naval combat methods.
Zhou Yu also selected some relatively young teenagers from all over the country recruited by Chen Fang to join the army. At this time, there were already more than 200,000 Chinese in Hawaii, and Zhou Yu had already trained more than 10,000 troops in Hawaii.
Various joint-stock processing plants under Zhou Yu have also entered the formal stage and began to make profits one after another. After having money, Zhou Yu started a new round of planning for his own territory:
In Lao Cai, Hawaii and Vietnam, we began to build three-year elementary schools, three-year middle schools, three-year universities, and three-year technical schools, preparing to implement free compulsory education for Chinese people within their own capabilities.
It also opened night schools to popularize knowledge among adults and required Liu Yongfu, Chen Fang and others to recruit a large number of foreign and Chinese teachers with high salaries to enrich the education team.
He also asked Liu Yongfu to send people to Taiwan's Keelung deep-water area to purchase waterfront land and build deep-water docks, shipyards, machinery plants, steel-making plants, etc. The average water depth of the docks is required to be more than 18 meters. The shipbuilding capacity is about 80,000 tons. If there is
If you have any difficulties, go to Hu Xueyan to help mediate.
Zhou Yu proposed naming the shipyard area Pearl Harbor Base, and also proposed expanding the Pearl Harbor Base and Pearl Harbor Shipyard, as well as related supporting machine factories, gun buildings, steam furnace (boiler) factories, and foundries.
, steel mill, maroon gunpowder factory, smokeless gunpowder factory, artillery shell factory, mine factory, gun factory, ammunition factory and various laboratories, etc.
Zhou Yu requested that the framework be built first, and after he purchased machinery, production lines, precision instruments, and supporting parts, and hired relevant personnel, he would immediately install and produce it. He also made the same request to Vietnam.
