Scholars in the courtyard

Seventh Machinery Department.

A group of armored vehicles entered from the gate, and Yang Xiaotao jumped out of the vehicle.

Ran's father and others hailed the car and continued to drive forward.

These armored vehicles transporting engines will enter the production workshop, where many missiles are waiting to be replaced.

After Yang Xiaotao said hello to Ran's father, he walked straight to the office.

Yang Xiaotao has come here many times and has a clear understanding of the situation here.

Moreover, most areas of the Seventh Machinery Department are open to Yang Xiaotao, so there is nothing he cannot go to.

When he came to the office, Yang Xiaotao knocked on the door. Mr. Wang's voice came. Yang Xiaotao opened the door and walked in.

"Chief, I'm here again."

Yang Xiaotao said as he walked aside and handed over the folder under his arm.

After taking it, Mr. Wang immediately asked, "How many units will you send this time?"

"Fifty!"

"So many? Yesterday there were only thirty, maybe. Did you recruit people again? Or did you improve the method again?"

Mr. Wang skillfully opened the folder, signed his name on the last page, and handed it to Yang Xiaotao.

After Yang Xiaotao took it, he walked to the side and sat down. It would take some time to unload the truck, so he happened to sit here and rest.

During this time, he was just like the people in the workshop.

He works during the day, sleeps in the factory at night, and wakes up to eat and work.

In the meantime, Ran Qiuye took the child to the factory and said that the child missed his father. Yang Xiaotao guessed that it was Ran Qiuye who missed his father.

"During this period, the string in my body has become very tight. We have reached the peak."

Yang Xiaotao took out his cigarette and lit it. After hearing this, Mr. Wang leaned back in his chair and heard a crunching sound coming from his body.

Then he walked to Yang Xiaotao, picked up the cigarette lighter on the table and lit it.

"I know."

"It's just like when a person is holding his breath, he will always be discouraged."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I know it's a bit disappointing to say this now, but for the health of our comrades, I have to say it."

"These masters and masters are all our treasures. They are fine now. If they really fall down from exhaustion and something happens to them, the losses will be huge."

Mr. Wang lowered his head after hearing this.

In the absence of sufficient machinery, hand rubbing is their most helpless method.

Likewise, this is also the most harmful to workers.

After all, people are not machines, and people will get tired.

"Chief, now we have two hundred instead of three hundred. Isn't that enough?"

Yang Xiaotao asked in a low voice.

Mr. Wang continued to remain silent until he finished smoking a cigarette and then stood up.

Then he walked to the map on the side and said, "Come and take a look."

Yang Xiaotao heard this and walked up to him, then looked at the map.

"This is our coastline. Do you think two hundred is enough?"

"It's not enough, ten times more will be enough."

Mr. Wang said with certainty, "I also know the difficulties of our comrades, and I also know that every missile built is money taken out of people's pockets."

"But there's nothing we can do about it."

As he spoke, Mr. Wang pressed his hands on the map and swept his eyes over it, filled with nostalgia.

"Every inch, every bit, is what we paid for with our blood."

"Anything that was damaged by the bombing will be a loss to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives."

Yang Xiaotao turned around and walked out.

"Don't want to eat?"

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, turned and left the office.

Mr. Wang looked at Yang Xiaotao's back and suddenly sighed.

"We can still hold on for a few more years. In the future, we will rely on you young people."

Shanghai.

Zhang Wu looked at the report in his hand with a serious expression.

The report clearly requires them to cooperate with the action.

The specific method of cooperation is to drive the boat out to sea.

Take this newly refitted boat out for a spin.

As for the reason, he naturally knows it.

During this time, he knew exactly what the missile stations behind the shipyard were busy with.

He even found out that this new missile was called Thunder, and the key part inside was designed by Yang Xiaotao.

And the data of this missile at least looks better than the original one.

As for whether it can be effective in actual combat, no one knows.

The superior's intention was to use this actual combat as a test.

Of course, their ship is not a bait that can't do anything. On the contrary, there are needles hidden in this thin-skinned stuffing.

"Dad, leave this task to us, The Hague."

While Zhang Wu was thinking about the report, Zhang Kangzhan walked in from outside, closed the door and shouted loudly.

Zhang Kangzhan heard about this operation outside and asked a few ships to go out to stimulate the opponent.

So he came to ask for a fight.

"What do you want to give me?"

Zhang Wu snorted coldly. Zhang Kangzhan was not afraid either. He had long been used to his father's attitude.

Although he said it harshly, he would still think of himself when he was really in trouble.

People always delegate dangerous tasks to others, but he chose to delegate the most dangerous tasks to his son.

Everyone on the water here in Shanghai knows this.

"Dad, of course I know, I just went out to be a bait."

"You also know that our ship captured the osprey on the opposite side. It is also our biggest. If we sail out, it will definitely attract hatred."

"Dad, leave it to me."

"I promise to complete the mission."

Zhang Kangzhan said seriously.

Zhang Wu didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing the eldest son's eagerness to fight, it was really hard to say no.

But this time it's really different.

"This time I will lead the team myself."

"What? Are you going?"

Zhang Kangzhan shouted immediately.

Zhang Wu shook his head, "This time the superiors will dispatch the 'Li Guang'."

"What? Li Guang? Why? This ship has just been repaired and hasn't been put on trial yet. How can this be done!"

Zhang Kangzhan immediately pressed down on the table in disbelief.

The Li Guanghao is the ship currently under construction.

Originally, this ship was not called that name, but it was later changed by the superiors.

As for the reason, he didn't know, or in other words, it didn't matter what it was called.

It's just that the ship was brought back to the shipyard not long after sea trials to reinstall power.

It's fine now. Before I go out after installation, I have to perform a task. This is to use steamed buns instead of dry food.

"What do you know?"

Zhang Wu straightened his face and looked serious.

Seeing this, Zhang Kangzhan stood hurriedly and did not dare to say anything more.

"The Li Guang has missiles installed on it, and its superiors position it as a maritime strike platform."

"When the time comes, no matter it is swimming in the water or flying in the sky, we will be able to intercept it."

"Understood?"

Hearing what Zhang Wu said, Zhang Kangzhan immediately understood.

But I'm a little confused.

Since this is the case, we cannot let it go to sea. The various positions on the ship have not yet been adjusted and have not yet formed combat effectiveness. If we go out at this time, it will be like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth.

"Hurry up and get ready, we are going to make a big noise this time."

Zhang Wu ignored Zhang Kangzhan's thoughts. If it said to go to sea, then go to sea.

He is a soldier, even if something goes wrong, he will be with the ship!

When Zhang Kangzhan saw his father say this, he knew what his father was thinking.

However, as long as we follow him out to sea, it will be fine.

If something goes wrong, he will come back to protect his father!

One day later, at dusk.

An 8,000-ton ship sailed out of the shipyard, then entered the harbor and slowly disappeared into the afterglow of the setting sun under the leadership of the guide ship.

Not long after, the large ship left the coastline, and now there was a destroyer and three gunboats following behind it.

On board Li Guang, Zhang Wu stood in the command room, holding the railing in front of him with both hands, looking at the night sea ahead with an extremely solemn expression.

"Lao Zhang, everything goes well."

Chief of Staff Huang Bo walked in and said.

"Old Huang, do you think we can succeed this time?"

There was no one else in the command post, so Zhang Wu asked.

After hearing this, Huang Bo took off his hat and put it on the podium, then said with a smile, "We all left letters home, don't we have anything else to ask?"

Zhang Wu smiled after hearing this and said very freely, "That's right."

After a moment, he asked again, "Are the new comrades still familiar with you?"

Huang Bo picked up the kettle on the table and unscrewed the lid and took a sip. "They are half sailors, so they're not bad!"

"That's right!"

"What's wrong?"

"It's just that they are a little unfamiliar with this method of combat and don't know how to start."

Zhang Wu laughed loudly after hearing this, "Commander Li and the others, tell them not to be nervous, just think of it as coming out for some fresh air. There will be plenty of time for them to practice in the future!"

Huang Bo nodded, and then looked at the sea ahead together, his expressions calming down.

Now, they have mastered how to build large ships.

There are also plans for the future.

More importantly, they have begun to focus on talent cultivation.

A century-old navy, they are moving forward step by step.

"Order."

Zhang Wu took a deep breath and said, "Course twelve degrees southeast and start testing the speed."

As the voice fell, the order was quickly conveyed, the navigator adjusted the direction, the chief engineer received the order to start improving the efficiency of the gas turbine, and then the entire fleet began to accelerate.

On the destroyer Hague behind, Zhang Kangzhan immediately issued the same order and followed Li Guang southward.

As for the remaining three gunboats, they followed behind at cruising speed in a finished shape.

Under the dark night sea, there are dangers hidden at any time. Even the several-thousand-ton Li Guang can suffer an accident if it fails, let alone a small gunboat of 100 tons like them.

As the Li Guang picked up speed, the entire fleet quickly headed south.

The wind and waves were chopping on the sea, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

It wasn't until the power team reported that the gas turbine had reached maximum efficiency that Zhang Wu slowed down the ship.

The high-speed operation during this period also allowed them to draw conclusions.

After being equipped with two gas turbines, the Li Guanghao actually increased its maximum speed to thirty-two knots under full power operation.

No one thought about this at the beginning of the design. Everyone thought it would be good to have twenty-five or six sections.

After all, it was calculated based on twenty-five sections when it was originally designed.

But I didn't want to directly exceed expectations and reach thirty-two knots.

Even the destroyer following behind had to slow down halfway through the run. Not in terms of speed, but moving at such a high speed at night was too dangerous for their thousand-ton destroyer.

Not to mention the gunboats behind.

Although they can reach forty knots, they are only turned on during battles. They usually have to save fuel, but who dares to run freely.

What's more, this kind of full-power operation is also a loss for the engine. Even if there is a stable engine supply channel, it is not used like this.

Looking at the huge silhouette disappearing in front of him, Zhang Kangzhan shook his head helplessly.

It’s unreasonable for her to be so big and run so fast!

Fortunately, we were not lost and the two parties can still contact each other.
