Born In England

"Long Live in England ()"

"It doesn't matter if these two technologies are immature at the moment, then we will recruit these two inventors to continue in-depth research and development to solve their shortcomings. I believe that as long as the research continues, it will definitely have a huge effect on our shipyard. Yes!" Li Lin said confidently.

First of all, he knows that in the future, even in the 21st century, arc welding technology will definitely be the mainstream. Now that it has been invented, as long as you invest manpower, material and financial resources to continue to develop it and solve its various problems, I believe you will be able to reap the results soon!

"Huh? Dig it... But, even if it is dug, I don't know how many years it will take for it to mature and be used in shipbuilding. Boss, you have to think clearly!" Ronald could not help reminding road.

After all, no one knows how much money will be invested to make it mature, and no one knows how long it will take.

Besides, what if the research finds that the last technology is not suitable for shipbuilding?

Isn't the previous investment and hard work all in vain!

"Investment is always risky, okay, don't try to persuade me too much, I understand the reason. Anyway, I will leave it to you to dig these two people! You just tell them that I am willing in the first period." Invest 500,000 pounds to study these two technologies, and if the first phase has results, I can increase the investment!" Li Lin said.

"This... good!" Ronald saw that his boss was so rich and powerful, so he didn't intend to persuade him any more!

"Okay, go get busy."

"good."

...

Time flies, 2 years have passed in a flash!

Step into 1897 already!

Li Lin stood on the pier in Singapore, looking at his largest dock No. 2 in the distance.

"It's been 7 years since I came to this world without knowing it!" Li Lin said with emotion.

A year later, he will be a father too!

Because it was found out by Daphne last month that she was pregnant.

At present, she has raised her baby with peace of mind in Singapore.

Two years ago, he gave Daphne a Zhuyan Dan, which could freeze her appearance in her twenties. He planned to wait for her to give birth to a child, and he could consider giving her the first six levels of qi training. It would also be good to increase her lifespan.

He also took a Zhuyan Pill himself.

Although he has a foundation building cultivation base, which has the effect of retaining the face, but he still decided to eat a Zhuyan pill to maintain the appearance of a little fresh meat!

In the past 2 years, almost nothing bad happened.

The development of gold mines in Angola is going smoothly. Last year, more than 1 million pounds worth of gold mines were dug out.

The development of many companies under his own is good.

That is to say, in the past two years, arms orders have gradually decreased, which has led to greater pressure on the sales of steel produced by Li's Steel Company than in the previous two years. Li Lin is not surprised that the number of weapons orders has decreased. After all, it is not an era of war. It is impossible for people to buy weapons from you all the time, unless you have endless new epoch-making weapons.

However, the weapon company has developed some new rifles, new artillery, etc., and the production line has also been set up. As long as there is an order, it can be produced at any time!

But fortunately, Li Lin's No. 1 and No. 2 docks are currently receiving a lot of orders.

In particular, his No. 2 dock started building a freighter with a displacement of about 5,000 tons a year ago!

It uses a diesel engine and uses new welding techniques.

That's right, because he invested a lot of money, he also dug those two guys over to let them develop welding technology in depth. He then told the other party what he had seen and heard about the welding technology in later generations, and told the two guys. People are great inspirations.

It took the two of them a year to solve several major shortcomings of arc welding technology.

It can be used normally on welded steel.

Ever since, Li Lin did not hesitate to use it directly in the construction of this freighter!

tomorrow,

When it was officially built, Li Lin planned to conduct a wave of ocean-going tests on this freighter and announce it at the same time to let the world know that Li Lin was the first person to use diesel engines on large freighters.

Although later in 1903, the "Vandal" tanker and the "Pedit Pierre" became the first ships equipped with diesel engines.

But those are all inland river ships with tens of tons and hundreds of tons.

Of course, diesel engines are used in submarines. It was originally the "Edgeret" submarine in 1904, and there were two boats of the same type. The surface displacement of the boat is 202 tons.

However, the submarines manufactured by Li Lin in the past few years have already used diesel engines in advance, so Li Lin is still the first person to use diesel engines on submarines.

However, freighters also use diesel engines of warships, and the technology is greater than that of submarines!

Because submarines are generally more than 1,000 tons.

But freighters and warships start at a few thousand tons at every turn, or even 20,000 to 30,000 tons.

The technology of the diesel engine must be higher!

Until 1912, it was an important year in the history of human navigation. This year, the first truly large ocean-going ship "Ceylandia" was built!

Now, Li Lin wants to make mankind's first real diesel ocean-going freighter be born more than ten years ahead of schedule!

Of course, in addition to the above, in the past two years, the research departments of several of his companies have developed many new research and development inventions. Of course, most of them were developed by the design drawings he took out for them.

In this way, we can get twice the result with half the effort, and the research and development costs will be greatly reduced!

The biggest surprise for Li Lin in the past 2 years is about his hometown!

About this guy Sun Longxing.

Half a year ago, this guy was doing something in his hometown.

It is estimated that by using the batches of weapons that Li Lin sold to him before, more than a thousand people were pulled together, and several cities were successively conquered.

Shock the world!

It is said that he also defended several cities for three months.

In the end, due to running out of ammunition and food, coupled with the internal ghosts, and the different ideas of the subordinates, the soldiers who were trained in a hurry could not use these weapons scientifically. Anyway, due to various factors, they still failed.

In the end, it is said that he ran away to hide overseas in desperation.

But this incident definitely shocked the world, and at the same time gave a head start to many people in my hometown.

Absolutely a shocking move!

Regarding this, Li Lin said with some emotion: "This Sun Longxing is really courageous! He is really a talent!"

...

the next day.

Li Lin, a cargo ship with a displacement of 5,000 tons, was launched.

He named it—Flying Fish Freighter!

Starting tomorrow, we will depart directly from Singapore to Liverpool in England for our first ocean trip!

At the same time, we will also participate in the 7th Western Ship Exchange Conference in 2 months!

The venue is Liverpool!
