Chapter 6

"Marshal Fang Jianxiong, Chairman of the Military Commission of the Republic, inspected Shanghai Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group."

In the next day's newspaper, the headlines were all about this, accompanied by a huge photo. Fang Jianxiong stood in front of a huge slipway, with a huge warship behind him. The text explained that this was built by China independently with the introduction of American technology.

The 19,000-ton battlecruiser is called the Qingdao class in China.

I didn't see a word about submarines in the newspapers. The only thing that received much publicity was the battleship. Although there was only one, it had a different meaning because it was a giant battleship made in China and costing 24 million yuan.

The Navy has always been a big spender of money. Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group built two Qingdao-class battlecruisers at one time. The United States provided most of the technical support. In addition to the transfer fees of various patents, the two battleships cost a total of nearly five dollars.

Ten million yuan.

According to a report in Shanghai's "Shenbao", the two battleships took four years to build and are expected to be launched in the spring of 1922. By then, two battleships of the same class ordered by the United States will be added, as well as two 32,000-ton displacement warships being built by the United States.

Battlecruisers. The number of battlecruisers of the Chinese Navy will reach six, becoming a pivotal maritime force in the Pacific region.

Compared with the maritime power promoted in newspapers, Fang Jianxiong, who was inspecting, was more concerned about the technology brought by these two battleships. Battleships are definitely a huge system project, involving more than a thousand technologies and projects, and two battleships

The domestic production of battleships brought about the rise of peripheral industries.

Unfortunately, for the power system, China’s current technical level means that even if Americans are willing to provide technology, China does not have the ability to digest these technologies. Fortunately, at the end of last year, the first batch of students studying in Europe and the United States returned to China in large numbers, all of them science and engineering students.

Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group recruited more than 300 people in one go and filled them into various projects.

Yun Qinghe is one of these students who returned to China. He went to the United States from Wuhan in 2012, and then studied at MIT. With a pure heart of serving the country with science and technology, Yun Qinghe spent five years in the United States with great enthusiasm.

I devoted myself to studying. In June 2017, I got a degree from MIT

After returning to China, Yun Qinghe, together with two engineers who had studied in Europe and returned to China, participated in the 11

The 283-inch cannon is in production.

More than a year later, the 282,210 howitzers Yun Qinghe participated in the production appeared on the battlefield, giving the Japanese Army a painful lesson. But this is not a proud capital. In terms of artillery technology, Japan is definitely ahead of China. In terms of artillery technology, Japan is definitely ahead of China.

Japan's warship manufacturing technology is several steps ahead of China's.

These young people represented by Yun Qinghe have a full understanding of the cutting-edge fields of technology in today's world. If Japan had not been occupied by a large number of resources by the navy, its army's equipment might not be much worse than that of the National Defense Forces.

There is still a long way to go compared to Japan, and there is a huge gap compared to the world's cutting-edge shipbuilding technology.

After getting up early in the morning, Yun Qinghe took the time to freshen up. There was an important experiment to be done today. The returned engineer received a good salary. The two of them lived in a two-story foreign-style building. The downstairs was the living room and the nanny's place, and the upstairs was for the two of them.

bedroom.

After washing up, it was seven o'clock in the morning, and it was already full daylight. I hurried downstairs, and breakfast had been prepared by the forty-year-old nanny Wu Ma and placed on the table in the living room. Say hello to the busy Wu Ma, Yun Qing and one side

I was looking at the technical information in my hand while eating breakfast. At this time, another person came downstairs, Zhou Leng, who lived with me and had a master's degree in metallurgical engineering in France.

After also saying hello to Wu Ma, Zhou Leng sat down and picked up the newspaper on the table and read it. At the same time, he stuffed bread and milk into his mouth. After slurping a few times and swallowing it in a hurry, Zhou Leng trembled.

The newspaper reporter said: "Lao Yun, did you see it? The newspapers are going crazy, saying that the Qingdao-class battlecruiser is a symbol of China's naval power, and the whole country should cheer for it."

Yun Qinghe raised his head and smiled: "How dare you take the cheers in the newspaper seriously? Others don't know, but you and I should be clear about it? In the steam turbine team, the drawings and data provided by the Americans have not been fully understood. It is said that it will not be possible in a year.

Dare to build it yourself. How many technical difficulties have our team not overcome? I don’t dare to think too much. I will be satisfied if we can build a qualified 11-inch main gun for the navy before the end of 2019. This is what the United States was twenty years ago.

Our technology is at least fifty years behind Europe. Do you still remember the lofty ambitions we students made on the passenger ship on the Yangtze River on the way abroad?"

When Zhou Leng heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he nodded and said: "You are right, there is nothing to be happy about. I still remember what Fu Shuai said when he sent us off. The Chinese nation will once again stand at the top of the world.

, there is too much to pursue. Hope is placed on our generation. By the way, have you seen Fu Shuai come to Shanghai?"

Yun Qinghe shook his head, and the nanny Wu Ma came in with a letter and said: "Mr. Yun, there is a letter from your home."

"Thank you, Mother Wu!" Yun Qinghe took the letter, tore open the seal, read it quickly, put it in his pocket and continued eating breakfast.

Zhou Leng said: "What are the letters from home saying? It's been almost two years since you returned to China. You just went back, right?"

Yun Qinghe nodded: "Well, I went there when I first returned to China, and I have been busy since then. Fu Shuai advocated sending troops to Europe. The blood and sacrifice of 100,000 soldiers were exchanged for so much technology that has not been digested. What qualifications do we have?

Enjoy life comfortably at home? I remember when I was in the United States and the Americans reported that the expeditionary force was seriously lacking in equipment, I felt sad. We people, who went to study abroad with scholarships provided by the country, did not enjoy such high standards after your country

I feel really ashamed of the treatment I received.”

Zhou Leng stretched out his hand, snatched the letter away, smiled and took out a small photo of a woman and said: "I just said that I saw a photo, and tell me honestly when we hooked up."

Yun Qinghe rolled his eyes and said: "Nonsense, this is a marriage arranged by my family, a primary school teacher, asking me to go home and get married soon. Now that the many technical difficulties of the 11-inch main gun and turret have not been overcome, how can I

Time to go back and get married? Let's wait two years. Don't talk about me. It's time for you to get married, right? It seems like you are one year older than me."

"I'm only one month older than you, how can I be so exaggerated as one year old? When it comes to marriage, it's not that I haven't thought about it. I almost brought a daughter-in-law back from France. I wrote a letter to tell my family that my father was very worried about not leaving Changsha.

Let’s go to Paris. Let’s not talk about it. I received a letter from my family last month saying that I must go back to get married in May. We are in the same boat and we really don’t have the time to make this fuss. By the way, I have to go to Jiaotong University to attend classes later, so I’ll take the first step.

There are two cars parked in the yard, both of which are domestically produced Shanghai brands. This type of car was funded by some businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in Shanghai and introduced American technology. The factory was built in 2014 and put into production in 2015. So far, the engines and tires of the modified cars

, the main components of the gearbox need to be imported from the United States.

When Zhou Leng was standing on the steps, he saw Chen Zhaokeng and a young man walking in, looking around casually. When Zhou Leng was about to say hello, the young man raised his head and smiled at him. Zhou Leng immediately stayed on the spot and froze a little.

After a moment, he pinched his cheeks hard and finally realized that he was not dreaming. He turned to Yun Qinghe and shouted: "Old Yun, Fu Shuai is here."

After Yun Qinghe finished his breakfast, he stood up and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He walked out calmly and said, "Brother Miaoran, this joke is not funny at all." When he walked out and saw the two people standing there in the yard, he also said directly

Stunned.

Ordinary people don’t know Fang Jianxiong, how can they not recognize these two first batch of international students sent out by Marshal Fang himself? Fang Jianxiong’s appearance is etched in his mind, and he is always thinking about returning to China after studying, and serving and supporting the country.

Handsome and the country. Almost every international student who went abroad after the year of 1911 has a similar mentality. Who doesn’t want the country to be strong? In parallel history, thousands of students studying in Europe and the United States have overcome all difficulties and returned to the country. They are really patriotic.

.

Fang Jianxiong just hangs around and wins people's hearts. These international students are all treasures. After returning to China, these people mainly go to large enterprises represented by Eurasia Group or teach in universities. There are also Zhou Leng who work as a teacher in the school.

He is a professor and is also employed by Jiangnan Group, which is like working two jobs. Every international student who enters Eurasia Group has corresponding living and treatment standards. Especially those in the military industry, standards set by Fang Jianxiong himself.

Technical elites like Yun Qinghe and Zhou Leng enjoy the highest treatment. They live in a bungalow at home and drive a car (if you don't know how to drive, you can hire your own driver). Their monthly salary is 1,500 yuan. The treatment is definitely the best in China.

Top notch.

Last night, Fang Jianxiong actually lived in this big courtyard, but he came in quietly. The guards were all plainclothes and did not alert anyone else. When he got up early in the morning, he called Chen Zhaokeng and walked around to see this large living area.

, is the high-end life of Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group,

The inner environment of the courtyard is lined with trees, and there is a two-story small western-style building with a garden on one side of the water. All high-level technical talents from home and abroad live there. This generation is still a little far from the city. Not far away is Jiaotong University, many of whom live here.

experts and scholars, and also serve as part-time professors in universities.

People of Yun Qinghe and Zhou Leng's level have to register at the gate and bring a guard with them when they go out. The reason is very simple, it involves some related technical secrets. Zhou Leng is an expert in armor steel, and Yun Qinghe is a manufacturer.

Experts on large-caliber artillery. More than 300 similar experts live in this compound, and there is also a regiment garrisoned nearby.

The reason why it is so serious is because there are too few domestic talents. Although experts like Yun and Zhou are young, they are representatives of the most advanced technology in the country. In twenty or thirty years, these people will be able to lead a large number of
