Chapter 1504 Ironclad ship improvement technology research
On the afternoon of September 4th, 15th year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao, who returned from the trial voyage at the Fucun Shipyard, calmed down the overwhelmed and excited Christine Sirian, and asked Christine Sirian to go to the branch territory of Taiji Village to recall Xuan Germany, and after arranging naval heroes to find suppliers for the production of ironclad ships, Qu Mao needed to communicate with Kong Ming.
Because Qu Mao has decided to stay in Fucun Shipyard on outlying islands for a period of time. Although Qu Mao is very satisfied with the ironclad ship, it is still a pity that there are only seven cannons. Therefore, he wants to personally help the ironclad ship research and development project team. The weight of the ironclad ship was reduced, thereby freeing up the counterweight to carry more artillery.
Therefore, after Christian Sirian was persuaded by Qu Mao, Qu Mao turned to Kong Ming and said to Kong Ming: "Kong Ming, I plan to stay in Fukumura Shipyard for a while and discuss the improvement and optimization of iron-clad ships with the iron-clad ship research and development project team.
Of course at this stage, my main optimization direction is to reduce the weight of the ironclad ship, and transfer the weight reduction to the addition of artillery. If you have nothing else to do, you can stay here and participate in our discussion. If you have other things to attend to, you can also go about your own business. "
Kong Ming waved his goose feather fan and said, "My lord, since you want to stay here and personally participate in the technical guidance task of ironclad ship improvement, your subordinates will naturally have to go back to the lord's hut to take full charge of the chores in the entire territory of Emperor Yi. the following areas of expertise.
Xuande is currently fighting in the branch territory of Taiji Village. Even if Christine Sirian goes to find it in person, it may take a few days after he returns, and he also needs to know the situation in advance.
So my subordinate will make an appointment with you for the time being in a week, and my subordinate will accompany Xuande to come to Fukumura Shipyard on Outlying Island again to discuss the specific arrangements for the production planning of ironclad ships with you, my lord.
The subordinates believe that ironclad ships must be produced, used, optimized, and iterated at the same time. Such advanced weapons must be deployed to our navy as soon as possible. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Or I say that it is up to Kong Ming to do big things. I think your arrangement is very appropriate. You can go back to the lord's cabin. Everyone will work together to produce ironclad ships for the navy as soon as possible."
The person in charge of the iron-clad ship R&D project who has been accompanying Qu Mao and Kong Ming was already very excited when he heard that Qu Mao was going to stay in Fucun Shipyard to assist in the improvement of the iron-clad ship. Gather in the largest meeting room of the shipyard, waiting for Qu Mao to come to guide everyone's technology.
Qu Mao made a few simple arrangements with Kong Ming, and Kong Ming bid farewell to Qu Mao, and took the steam train back to the Outlying Island Reservoir Village. I don’t know whether Kong Ming will return to the Power Research Institute or the Mechanical Research Institute. Anyway, these two research institutes are in the Outlying Island Reservoir Village. In the end, Kong Ming still had to return to the lord's hut.
Led by the person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project, Qu Mao came to the largest conference room of Fucun Shipyard. Seeing the black heads in the conference room, Qu Mao was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
The person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project shouted hoarsely to all the participants: "My lord is the legend of the chief scientist of our Yidi territory, I believe you have all heard of it.
My lord wants to personally guide our ironclad ship improvement technology research, this is your chance..."
Qu Mao grabbed the person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project and said, "Stop yelling, it's useless, you can't hear it at all, this is not a conference room, this is a large auditorium!
How did you get so many people here? "
The person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project said: "My lord, if you personally guide the technology, your subordinates will naturally call all the members of the ironclad ship research and development project team.
Qu Mao waved his hand and said: "There are so many people gathered here, let alone a seminar, even if it's my speech, most people can't hear it, and it doesn't make any sense.
In this way, you can keep the R&D leaders in various fields and modules, and other people can do what they should be busy with, and let their leaders report back. "
The person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project said with a bitter face: "My lord, even if there are R&D leaders in various fields and modules, the total number of people is 189. You..."
Qu Mao rolled his eyes wildly, and said angrily: "Damn it! Then narrow down the scope further, leaving only one chief engineer in terms of structure, power, firepower, armor, etc., and the total number of people should be controlled within 10. You go and arrange it now.
Nonsense, thousands of people gathered here, Fukumura Shipyard has no normal business and wants to go to war?
Change the conference room to a small conference room that can only accommodate about 10 people. I will arrange a fifth-rank court guard to guard the door of the conference room. "
The person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project quickly reselected the participants according to Qu Mao's request. Finally, including the person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project, a total of 9 people were selected, including Qu Mao, exactly 10 people.
10 people came to a small meeting room. Under the guard of the fifth-rank palace guards, even the food and tea were brought in by special personnel. Except for going to the toilet, no one was allowed to leave this small meeting room.
In this conference room, everyone had a full discussion on how to reduce the weight of the current ironclad ship samples. Some people even proposed to reduce the thickness of the ironclad ship armor, but Qu Mao directly rejected it.
Of course, there are still constructive results, such as changing the iron bed in the cabin to an iron mesh bed, and the railing on the deck first proposed by Qu Mao to hollow steel pipes, etc., including seats and gun mounts in the cabin, etc. The comprehensive weight loss is calculated to be 50 tons.
Qu Mao is still very satisfied with the results obtained for 5 consecutive days and 5 nights. After all, a conventional gun weighs about 3 tons.
When the door was about to open, Qu Mao opened his red eyes and asked excitedly, "How long will it take for these modifications to be completed?"
The person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project who also had red eyes counted with his fingers, and said: "My lord, I estimate that the modification will be completed in about a month.
However, the subordinates insisted on only adding 4 conventional guns. After all, there are too many artillery, and there will be requirements for the amount of shells to be carried.
Comprehensively, the net weight loss is 20 tons, and I am afraid that the full load speed of our ironclad ship will also increase a little..."
Qu Mao waved his hand and said: "One month is too long, at most half a month, arrange enough manpower and work overtime to make improvements."
The person in charge of the ironclad ship research and development project immediately said: "Yes, my lord! Complete the task to the death!"
