The small boat engine was tested. Lin Mo asked the people who had just started to continue to install the engine for other small boats. He himself led another group of people to prepare the engine for the larger ship.
It stands to reason that the first wave of people who have already got started can assemble it faster, but they are not in a hurry. Naturally, they want more people to get started and become proficient in these things, which can also be regarded as a kind of learning and training.
The group of people who came with me also watched it just now, and they also did some tricks. They were pretty quick to get started, but unfortunately they couldn't get up to speed.
It is mainly a large ship machine. Not only the components are heavier, but also the table surface needs to be prepared larger and stronger, which adds a lot of work.
The various parts for modification and installation were easy to handle, at least they were separated, and the single piece was not too heavy. However, getting the big engine from the barge to the table took everyone a lot of effort and thought.
It's done after you try your best.
To be honest, this matter is not too troublesome to do in professional places such as docks or shipyards, but in this remote place, with limited personnel, limited tools and equipment, and limited site conditions, it is really difficult to do it.
However, Lin Mo still made this choice. If there was any difficulty, he could find a way to solve it, but if some news leaked out, even if it was very small, Lin Mo was not willing to take the risk.
Not bad! After a lot of effort, I finally installed the engine and fixed the oil barrel. This was not the previous iron square barrel, but a large round barrel, which is the standard oil barrel used to transport oil.
This big ship's engine consumes so much fuel that the small tin bucket can't stand it at all. Even the battery is equipped with a battery pack, otherwise it won't be enough.
As usual, I checked the machine again and added a new ring of lubricating oil. Then I added the oil to the oil barrel and started the test.
“…Boom…Boom…Boom…Boom…Boom…Boom…”
Lying down, Lin Mo felt like his ears were buzzing from the vibration, and it was really sore. Although the machine was exposed and didn't have any noise-cancelling equipment, he knew that the noise could not be reduced.
The little boat machine made a lot of noise before, but he didn't expect it to be so loud. Lin Mo quickly turned it off and found something to plug his ears to avoid damaging his hearing.
It also took a lot of effort to start up. It may be that in order not to affect the operation, the oil barrel was moved a little further to the side, which caused the oil pipeline to be too long. It took some effort to suck the oil into the machine. When it was started for the second time, it started directly.
Yes, it will take a few more tries, but it probably won't affect it.
Lin Mo also drove it for a few more laps. The main reason was that the operation difficulty of this machine was much greater than that of a small boat machine. Lin Mo did not dare to run it at full power from the beginning, so he had to adapt little by little.
There is also good news. After running for a while, the noise of the ship's engine has dropped a lot. It is probably that the modification has affected its condition. It took some time to run in. After running smoothly, the noise is still acceptable.
As for power, this guy is much more powerful than a small boat machine. Even if it is pushing a boat several times larger than it, it can obviously feel much faster than it when it is circling in a small lake. It is estimated that the speed can be about twelve knots.
However, the cargo capacity of this ship is more than three times that of the small ship. The difference between the two is only three times in size, but it does not refer to displacement, load, dead weight, etc.
The cargo capacity of large ships is huge, and they can easily carry hundreds or even thousands of bags of rice and wheat, and the bags are still large bags weighing nearly a hundred kilograms.
And this is not the limit. Only this quantity is shipped, just because the unit weight of these goods is low, the space on the ship is limited, and stacking too high will cause the center of gravity of the ship to change, making it more dangerous when driving.
If it is replaced by sand, gravel, coal, ore, which have a higher unit weight, and is loaded to the limit, it is estimated that it will transport 70 to 80 tons or more, which is probably not a problem.
Of course, the more it transports, the slower the ship's speed will naturally be. If it is faster than a small boat, it can easily be evened out. As for a small boat, its carrying capacity is only about ten or twenty tons.
With the first experience and methods, the speed was slightly faster. After the small boat was loaded, the big boat was half loaded, and Wang Shoufei and others just bought all the boats and returned.
After the previous few experiences, although everyone is still a little unfamiliar with operating the boat, they are still in a good shape, and there is no need for a bunch of people to wait for one boat like before.
These last few boats were indeed brought back from the shipyard, and there are still new signs, but they are not obvious. They are probably built and have been exposed to the weather for some time.
All kinds of objects will age very quickly if no one maintains them or even uses them for a long time. Just like these boats, if they are said to be new, they are actually just signs of use, but their appearance is better than some used boats.
Appear old.
Lin Mo directly put the new people in charge of the assembly work of these new boats, and let the people who had already changed shifts give instructions, so that they could also get familiar with it.
As for Lin Mo, he was not idle either. He took the brothers who had free time in shifts and began to set up these boats around the lake, trying to ensure that everyone could get started.
Of course, those who are really responsible for hands-on operation and driving will select people who can learn quickly and control well for further training.
By the time everything was assembled, the sun had already set a long way in the west. Everyone took turns playing with it for a while. Lin Mo also looked around and selected the operator.
To Lin Mo's surprise, the guy with the best control was actually Yi Wenbin. He didn't control well, but played smoothly.
No matter how big or small the boat was, it wasn't really that small, and at such a slow speed, this guy could actually use them to drift on the water, which even amazed Lin Mo.
He, Liu Daxiang and others had officially finished their platoon yesterday and had withdrawn to rest and recuperate. However, they would have to go back to carry out new tasks in a few more days.
So! This operator was destined to be without him, but it was not wasted. Lin Mo directly appointed him to be responsible for training the selected operators.
After explaining some things to Wang Shoufei and asking him to take care of this place, Lin Mo took the brothers who had completed the mission back to the small fire wheel and turned back.
Without the rear barge, the process of getting out of the water channel went smoothly. As for the barge, Lin Mo had it modified as well. Lin Mo also prepared an extra batch of small boat engines.
After returning to the base ship, although the chores were left to Zheng Junshan, he was the only one who knew the next step, so there were many matters that he needed to make his own decisions.
First, the Intelligence Division reported back the clues Scott had set up for them, and the other side urged them to contact them as soon as possible and launch new operations.
Of course, it was the line that was urged. Nanjing still followed the promise made before the action, gave them great autonomy, did not ask for it, and made it clear that it was up to them to make the decision.
Lin Mo thought about it and did not accept the other party's request. He even ordered Sha and Shi to ignore it. At this time, there was no need to create problems because of the other party.
Furthermore, Lin Mo and Xu Zhiyu, who were previously responsible for assisting the two Sha Shi, also arranged for them to start withdrawing and tie up the situation. They will withdraw one after another and return to the team tomorrow evening to start preparations for the next phase of the operation.
On Wang Mingkun's side, because there were people who built houses, decorated houses, sold cars, etc., they were covering up, so the investigators did not pay too much attention to them, and they were even temporarily excluded from suspicion.
.
Therefore, Lin Mo also withdrew the people who were not assisting in the car repair shop and began to prepare for the next stage of action.
As for He Changwen, although he was quite shocked after receiving Lin Mo's order, he still strictly followed the order and started executing it. Although he was still running the boat, his men were already running around and taking action.
But in Shanghai, except for newspapers and those gang members who had become somewhat extinct, it was still calm on the surface, and the fight that night gradually became a chat after dinner.
It is worth mentioning that there are still endless reports on this fight in the newspapers, and because of the silence of the Japanese side, coupled with Li Weixi's various embellished propaganda, it seems that these people's curiosity has been aroused, and all kinds of
Speculative analysis made the report even more outrageous.
However, there were also some different voices in the newspapers, such as concerns about whether this matter would lead to war retaliation from the Japanese. I don’t know if they were just right, or whether the Japanese had already taken action.
But no matter what it is, the public opinion field will be very lively for a while, and there are some reports, which are obviously not too big a matter. I don't know who is behind it.
Of course, for the two parties who have become serious and act very cautiously, it cannot directly affect the decision-making of both parties, but outsiders may not be able to decide. When the time comes, they will go around in circles, and it is estimated that...
As for Suzuki and Panasonic, after arranging new clues yesterday, they have also received some feedback. But what a pity! Not much has been discovered in scattered pieces.
"...Sigh...Matsushita-kun, there is still nothing found in the car?"
Suzuki reluctantly put down the news he had just reported back and asked Matsushita on the side. Naturally, he did not want to continue in this stalemate. Even if he could not move now, such a passive situation with not many useful things at hand could never continue.
Go down.
Panasonic shook his head helplessly and said: "Although there are a lot of news in the new newspaper today, it is of no use. There is no way to tell which ones may be related to them.
According to the news, the people under Du Daheng have fabricated a lot of false clues and news to mislead our investigation, and the people in the gang don't have much discerning ability.
There is no need for much follow-up in this direction. Unless the other party takes action again and has new clues, it is possible to make a breakthrough in this regard."
Much more disappointed, Suzuki felt that he was not sure whether he was adapting or being numb. When he heard this situation, his heart actually did not fluctuate much!
He shook his head, pushed these thoughts out of his mind, and continued to ask: "What about the weapons? According to Qian Sang's feedback, the other party did not transport those weapons into the hotel through normal channels. The source of the weapons, the transportation method, etc.
, haven’t you found it yet?”
Matsushita still shook his head and said: "According to the investigation, the family behind the hotel was deliberately deceived into leaving, and then weapons were sent into the hotel from the roof at night.
But there are currently no clues as to how they transported the weapons into the concession and then here. However, it would be impossible to transport that large number of light and heavy weapons into the concession without help.
I suspect that this matter may also be related to that Tycoon Du. The other party took huge risks to contact him, but the help he has provided so far is only to release some false news and false clues to interfere with the investigation.
This matter is obviously not worth the risk they take. If it is not this person, it can only be attributed to the lax control of the concession, or someone inside is helping."
Suzuki was noncommittal and didn't say much. Instead, he touched his chin and thought carefully. Although these analyzes were not unreasonable, he must have checked the experts without gaining any results. Furthermore, these directions were too obvious and not consistent.
