We are rich, powerful and powerful. No matter in any era, we can get more nourishing, especially during the Republic of China.

So when Zhou Wenhua experienced that he had money and had a lot of things he could do, he was deeply touched.

So after he and General Manager Yang Junsheng completed the negotiation and signed a shareholding contract, a cooperation contract, and an internship project contract,

He was once again warmly entertained by the other party before leaving.

And he got on the car and continued to head towards the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Station.

There, through his father's relationship and the appointment of Butler Liu Xing, he was able to visit Ye Zaifu, the current chief engineer of Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute.

He also visited his father's friend Chen Ziting, who worked as an engineer in the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute and some of his part-time military positions.

"Is this the feeling of being rich, powerful?"

"If I had no father's relationship and the Zhou family's background, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to even enter the gate of someone else!"

"The current Jiangnan Shipbuilding Station is under the jurisdiction of the Navy and has come to take over!"

"And it belongs to the military background!"

"Often people may not be able to enter!"

Sitting in the car, Zhou Wenhua couldn't help but sigh at the various aspects of life in reality.

at the same time,

He is also very grateful that after his time travel and rebirth, he was able to be born in a wealthy family.

In the initial stage, it has surpassed most people.

However, his thoughts quickly moved to the materials needed for shipbuilding.

What are the materials for shipbuilding?

There are carbon steel, titanium alloys, cast iron, marine steel, non-ferrous metals, aluminum alloys, brass, glass fiber, insulating materials, fiberglass, and their alloys, as well as marine profiles, plates, and pipes and other marine metal materials.

When Zhou Wenhua proposed the shipbuilding materials in his heart,

In his mind, a large number of shipbuilding materials appeared, including those used in later generations such as fiberglass, foam and cork.

But in general, the most common main material for shipbuilding is steel.

Especially for steel plates, high-strength steel used in cruise ships.

Every ship that can float on the sea and is safe and reliable requires good steel to make the hull.

Different hulls and different ship types use completely different steel materials.

Even the submarine hull is the top quality among steel and needs to be strictly processed and manufactured.

The deck steel used by aircraft carriers is even more demanding.

Because aircraft carriers not only need to resist salt and humidity, they also need to deal with the impact resistance of carrier-based aircraft groups taking off and landing, as well as safety hazards in severe weather such as storms on the sea.

Therefore, steel is the foundation of the commitment to shipbuilding, and it is also the most important step to solve.

The problem is that with the steel manufacturing technology in the Republic of China during the Republic of China, it is probably completely unfeasible to create a large number of ships, aircraft, and submarines like those foreign countries or the Japanese army.

So after thinking about the technology of steel,

Zhou Wenhua also planned to find a way to learn the steel production technology, and also had to have the ability to protect his technology from being taken away by other big families, or the army, and the Japanese army.

Marine steel refers to steel used to manufacture hull structures of sea ships and inland ships, usually high-quality carbon steel and high-quality low-alloy steel.

Therefore, Zhou Wenhua can also specialize in these two shipbuilding materials at the same time.

Including the manufacturing technology and mining technology of aluminum alloys, which are more expensive than steel, are also needed to be learned.

Especially now, aluminum is also very scarce during the Republic of China period.

As for the fiberglass used in shipbuilding in later generations, if you have a way to learn it, you can also consider it.

...........

...........

Just as Zhou Wenhua was thinking about various shipbuilding materials,

Jiangnan Shipbuilding Station,

Ye Zaifu, the current chief engineer of Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute, and Chen Ziting, engineer, are also busy checking and maintaining the second warship "Yongsui" and "Xianning" warship,

Although the displacement of the Xianning warship was only more than 410 tons, it was smaller than the "Jiangyuan"-class gunboats equipped by the navy at that time, it was similar in size to the design of the Yangtze River gunboats used by the Japanese Navy at that time.

Even in appearance, it looks very similar to the main battleship.

This is also the new Yangtze River gunboat depicted by chief engineer Ye Zaifu to the Nanjing government, and was renamed the Xianning, meaning "A peaceful in all directions".

This is also a reflection of the mentality of whether it was the government represented by the chairman of Nanjing, or the Navy's expectation of peace and peace in the national army as well as the hope that it could enter an era of peaceful development as soon as possible.

As for the second warship, the "Yongsui" warship, on April 20, 1930, when the chairman was rushing to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River for a western tour, he used this warship baptized by the chairman's wife, Mrs. Song, as his ship for the Western Tour this time, and took the lead in opening the history of the head ship's inspection out.

Just as the chief engineer Ye Zaifu and engineer Chen Ziting were busy commanding shipbuilders and carrying out various work to maintain ships,

As Admiral Yangshuzhuang, who started the great wave of naval construction in the Nanjing government era, also in the Second Fleet Commander Chen Shaokuan, the First Fleet Commander Chen Jiliang, and the National Army Practice Fleet Commander Li Jingxi, also came to watch this time to maintain the ship.

Because for them, it was their happiest thing to be able to witness their Navy's headquarters being able to make a second warship, so they were particularly concerned about the maintenance and repair process of the "Xianning" and "Yongsui" warships.

So when they have time, they will come over to watch it and see if there is anything they need to help with.

As the Fujian Navy, they finally managed to survive. They got rid of the previous frictions and conflicts with the navy of other factions.

After resigning to the Chairman, he made many achievements, thus gaining great trust from the Chairman, and was also specially appointed as a member of the Military Commission.

It is also because of this that they can have money and opportunities to start the development of the domestic naval forces again.

Especially in 1928, at the 32nd meeting of the National Government Committee, Commander Yangshuzhuang submitted a proposal called "Measures for the Reorganization of the Navy",

The golden years of naval construction during the Republic of China period also officially slowly opened up.

"Now we already have warships such as Xianning, Yongsui, Yixian, Minsheng, and Minquan. It can be said that we have started the wave of the era of naval construction and have gradually gotten on the right track!"

Looking at the maintenance ship in front of him, Commander Chen Shaokuan of the Second Fleet took the lead in sighing.

For them in the past, having their own warships made by themselves in China was simply a dream. Even when they were excluded by major factions, they were even a problem with how to support their Fujian fleet.

Although they finally formed their own Marine Corps, captured Xiamen, stabilized their income sources and supported the fleet.

But if you want to create the warship you want, you will definitely not dare to think like this if you dream of it.

But now they have several warships that they built themselves at once, so as the senior management of the Navy, they also particularly lamented that these are hard to come by.

"Although we can now make the warships we want, they are far from protecting our seas. At least we want the 10 shallow water gunboats used in the Yangtze River, and the proposals for the development of naval construction, such as 3 cruisers, 4 destroyers, 2 submarines, 1 aircraft and 2 mine-building ships, are still far from the proposals for the development of naval construction!"

"Not to mention comparing with the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet and the foreign fleet!"

"The sea is strong, and the country is strong!"

"We still have to go far!"

"Remember to be arrogant!"

However, regarding the feeling of Commander Chen Shaokuan of the Second Fleet, Commander Yang Shuzhuang shook his head and retorted.

"Yes! Commander!"

Commander Chen Shaokuan of the Second Fleet responded awkwardly.

He also felt that he had just been floating a little bit.

He was secretly happy just because his Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute was able to build several warships.

Ignoring the Japanese naval construction and the strong industrial production capacity of the navy of foreign countries are many times stronger than the shipbuilding station on their own.
