The enemy was about to attack, but the steam battleship of the 'Aurora Legion' had not yet been completely renovated. With the help of smuggled diesel, Zhou Qingfeng was able to return to Nassau by speedboat because there was a problem waiting for him to solve in the ship repair yard.
"I'm sorry, your Excellency, Army Commander, there is something wrong with our transformation plan." Dr. Lei Zuo looked apologetic when he saw Zhou Qingfeng. In the dock behind him, nine percent of the transformed steam battleship was completed.
Ten's transformation mission, armor, and weapons have been completed. Now there is only one last problem left - there is a problem with the newly manufactured boiler.
"Our workers have been manufacturing low-pressure boilers, but when manufacturing the new power system, the matching high-pressure boilers had welding problems. The welding equipment we have is not very good, or it may be caused by the workers' insufficient skills. Now we are continuously manufacturing
Both units cannot be used. The launch of the warship will be delayed for at least half a month."
When Zhou Qingfeng and Lena Fox were searching for things from the North American continent, it was impossible to completely collect the entire industrial system, and there were inevitably some omissions in the process. In modern industry, welding is an important link with many branches, and now they have collected
Welding equipment cannot be used to manufacture high-pressure boilers.
"We can't afford to delay it for half a month." Zhou Qingfeng rejected the plan to postpone the launch of the warship. He asked: "Tell me the specific data and replica model of this high-pressure boiler. Maybe I can find a machine that can be used."
"Can you find a high-pressure boiler? What I want is a coal-burning high-pressure boiler, not an oil-burning high-pressure boiler. Coal-burning high-pressure boilers are now rare. They have been eliminated for decades and can only be found in specialized museums.
See you." Dr. Rezzo was very surprised. But if he, the commander of the army, could get a usable high-pressure boiler, then things would be much simpler.
"Let me give it a try." Zhou Qingfeng was not sure, so he just said casually: "I have some impression, maybe I can find it in our warehouse."
The 'Aurora Corps' warehouse in Nassau is filled with all kinds of supplies brought from Florida. There may actually be the coal-fired high-pressure boiler that Dr. Rezzo needs. But Zhou Qingfeng is obviously not going to rummage through the warehouse.
After he got the relevant boiler data, he ran to a remote warehouse and returned to the real world.
Recently, Zhou Qingfeng has used Yuan Mei's network to purchase 700-800 tons of used clothes several times in succession. These used clothes have been of great help. This time he came back in a shabby warehouse in the suburbs, and he still wanted to buy them.
He relied on Yuan Mei to help him find a suitable high-pressure boiler.
"Sister Yuan, I want to ask you something. Help me find an old-fashioned high-pressure boiler that burns coal. No, I don't want a new one, it must be an old one, preferably one that others have discarded but can still be used.
You know a lot of people, please help me ask."
"Okay, I will definitely help you." After doing several used clothes business with Zhou Qingfeng, the young woman Yuan Mei's self-confidence suddenly exploded. In a few days, she had hundreds of thousands of funds on hand, which she had never done before.
It's unimaginable. Now Zhou Qingfeng's business is her business, and she will try her best to do it without any reason.
It was already night when she received a call from Zhou Qingfeng, and Yuan Mei was preparing to take a rest. Her husband Guo Jiaming came up to him with a shy face and said: "Honey, you see you are already four months pregnant, so you should be able to prescribe meat for me. The doctor said that as long as you are pregnant,
It can be done in three months..."
Yuan Mei married into the Guo family with the intention of repaying her kindness and suffering. In the past, she was always obedient to her good-for-nothing husband. But the last time she told Zhou Qingfeng her innermost thoughts, her mood changed drastically. Now again
Seeing Guo Jiaming approaching with a smile, she felt goosebumps all over her heart, as disgusting as she felt.
"Don't bother me, I have to do business." Yuan Mei put on some clothes and got out of bed. She didn't have a good look on Guo Jiaming. She looked at the type of high-pressure boiler sent by Zhou Qingfeng on her mobile phone, although she couldn't understand it.
But I also immediately contacted various friends.
Scrap collectors are often knowledgeable and can find the recycling value of any junk. Someone actually told Yuan Mei that today’s high-pressure boilers all burn oil. If you want to find a coal-burning high-pressure boiler, you can only look for an old-fashioned coal-burning one.
The locomotive may be found.
It was almost ten o'clock at night, but Yuan Mei still contacted the railway department's car repair shops one by one. She actually learned that there was a railway machine repair shop in the next city that might have such a thing.
Not long after, Zhou Qingfeng drove over in his Mercedes-Benz pickup truck. When Guo Jiaming saw his wife hurriedly following another man to leave overnight, he hurriedly shouted: "Wife, what will I do if you leave?"
"The family has money, so you can take care of it yourself. I'll go out for a while." Yuan Mei just sighed, and the Mercedes-Benz pickup truck took her away and rushed all the way to a machine repair shop more than a hundred kilometers away.
They found a machine repair shop in the middle of the night, only to find that the factory had gone bankrupt. After selling a bottle of liquor to the old man at the door, the two of them easily entered the large warehouse of the factory.
"These things have been parked here for decades. I'm afraid the coal-burning locomotive you want can only be found here. No, this is it. An upstream steam locomotive, a product from the 1960s, used
It wasn’t until the 1980s that it was retired, and then it was left untouched.”
There were dozens of locomotives parked in the dilapidated warehouse. It was extremely deserted, with dust everywhere and traces of dust. Zhou Qingfeng took a look with a flashlight and asked the old man guarding: "Uncle, I
If you want to take this thing away, who should you contact?"
The old guard sneered: "No one took care of this place ten years ago. I just opened a field here to grow vegetables. If you want this,..."
The old man seemed to want to figure out a price, but Zhou Qingfeng said directly: "I will give you 50,000 yuan. You can help find some people to check this locomotive to ensure that the boiler can work normally, and then remove the boiler separately. I will find a car."
Transport it away. But I have time requirements, so all the work can be completed in one day."
"You need to dismantle it after completing the maintenance in one day?" The old man was a little hesitant, but Zhou Qingfeng's price of 50,000 yuan was far beyond his imagination. To be honest, these old antiques looked simple, but they were all very leathery, stupid, bulky, and nothing particularly refined.
It won't be damaged even if it is kept for a hundred years.
In the end, the old man didn't object. After accepting the deposit of 20,000 yuan, he called a dozen workers in their 40s and 50s before dawn and started busy repairing the boiler on the locomotive.
Zhou Qingfeng was busy throughout the day, helping to dismantle the boiler. Facts have proved that although this boiler has been produced for decades, its structure is intact, its body is durable, and its functions are all normal.
When Zhou Qingfeng really brought this boiler, which was worthless in real time and space, to the wasteland, the Nassau ship repair yard was in a state of shock. A large number of industrial manufacturing personnel, including Dr. Leizzo, were shocked.
"Your Excellency, Army Commander, did you really go to the warehouse and find a coal-fired boiler? This is an antique that can enter the industrial museum!"
