Chapter 48 Visit of the Minister of the Navy (1)
Designing a torpedo to give the little devil some trouble was not Zhu Bin's impromptu idea. The two battles the night before yesterday made him feel that he was not happy enough. Not to mention that he had many people at hand. The key was that he did not have any heavy weapons at his disposal.
He was tied up and very unhappy, which was not in line with his usual open-minded style.
Therefore, when he was forced to withdraw to Jiading to guard, he took advantage of the situation and did not make any mistakes. The main reason was to use this gap to plan carefully and see if he could get some convenient and quick things to strengthen his force. Tanks, cannons, and airplanes.
These complicated guys can't be relied on for the time being, but simple weapons like the Davis Cannon can be used as a reference. In addition, even Ma Yier and a group of foreign company bosses and business leaders can't always be like this.
Just bring something out and stop their mouths.
Just like that, he asked Liu Banxia to run the errands to register a company to renovate the factory, and also ordered some machine tools from Ma Yier, specifying that they must be made in the United States, and never OEM knockoffs made in Shanghai——
This made Ma Yier hate Wang Kaishan very much. Most people don't know this details! He made a lot of money less!
I got a lot of drawing tools in order to "design" some practical machinery in detail. I will try to produce samples first to stabilize the guys. The first thing to do is to focus on several key components of the truck--the heavy-duty truck engine and transmission.
Box, chassis axle, tires and hubs, brakes and shock absorbers, as well as the shape of the entire vehicle, etc., through scanning and analysis of several currently existing trucks, he already has preliminary design graphics in his auxiliary computer, and he only needs to copy them out
Just make a trial sample.
Originally, this job could be done by directly instructing the container production center to draw batches of drawings, but since he was not here, it would not be good to overdo it. Idle time is idle, so I should practice my skills first and become a design master. Let Liu Banxia go to Jiangnan Shipyard to look for it.
The cast iron ingots for making engines unexpectedly led to such a thing, but he couldn't help but become enthusiastic! In his heart, he is a destructive maniac!
Let’s talk about two things. Let’s talk about the boss Hu Juewen of Xinmin Machinery Factory. Liu Banxia came to him in the morning and asked about cast iron ingots for making engines. He agreed casually and didn’t take it seriously at all. He had previously imported some imitation diesel engines through foreign companies.
They were piled up in the factory before they were used. Since Zhu Bin wanted to use them, he wanted to help because of his reputation as an anti-Japanese pioneer, so he was very happy. Besides, he was focused on making weapons and didn't think much about it.
.
Unexpectedly, in the evening of the same day, Liu Banxia came back again and sent a mysterious drawing. Boss Hu was shocked when he saw it. He grabbed Liu Banxia's thin arm and asked repeatedly: "What do you mean?
, this was designed by your Brother Zhu?! Good guy, amazing! Where are the others?!"
Liu Banxia felt resentful in his heart, why do you have this problem?! I am still a wounded person! If you pinch like this, you will break your bones sooner or later! But the men of Tianjin Wei cannot complain of pain even if they die. He grinned and said: "Boss Hu! Brother Zhu
He is unable to attend the military affairs, so everything depends on you to plan everything. If there is anything difficult to solve, I will run the errands and deliver the message."
At this time, long-distance calls were not only scarce but also extremely expensive, and it was even more difficult to use anything during the war. Hu Juewen slapped his thigh with regret, and then studied the drawings carefully. He was a top student at the Beijing Higher Industrial College, and he was in Hanyang
He was promoted from apprentice to supervisor in the iron factory. He has been pursuing the dream of developing industry to enrich the country and strengthen the army for decades. His professional level is unparalleled in Shanghai.
Zhu Bin's drawings are clear and understandable, fully considering the limitations of technology and materials in this era. The length of this torpedo is only more than five meters, and the entire body is made of curled and welded steel plates. It is round and chubby like a big fat fish. The front is designed with two stages of blasting.
The first layer of the mechanism is an armor-breaking energy-gathering cover, which uses tens of kilograms of mixed gunpowder to form a high-temperature and high-energy metal jet to tear through the thick and strong armor. The second layer is a 200 kilogram main charge. It is recommended to be a high-explosive mixed with RDX.
**, but I guess I can’t get it, so I can only make do with t.n.t. The tail is a directional fin and a propulsion nozzle system, and the structure is very smooth and simple.
Hu Juewen was greatly impressed by what he saw. He knew many talents in mechanical and weapon design, but he had never seen anyone design such an exquisite underwater weapon. What was rare was that this guy was easy to launch and did not need a special launch tube.
, just use the boat to drag it close to the target calibration direction and cast it, it is simple and easy to use.
Looking carefully at the comments below, Hu Juewen broke out in a cold sweat! Probably because Zhu Bin didn't think carefully when designing, he only remembered after finishing the drawing. It seems that high-purity oxygen is very dangerous and may easily cause an explosion!
He is not afraid that he has state-of-the-art tools and facilities, but for quasi-amateurs like Boss Hu, he might be reimbursed before the torpedo is assembled!
Zhu Bin mentioned below that he gave the structure of a low-speed torpedo powered by a lead-acid battery and a propeller. He stated that he would provide the propeller, and that the motor and battery would need to be figured out by Boss Hu himself.
"Yeah, that's quite reliable." Hu Juewen wiped the sweat from his head and nodded happily.
After all, he still has two brushes, otherwise he wouldn't be able to lead a group of workers to make mines - the craftsmanship of this thing is not simple, no less than Zhu Bin's torpedo!
Take a look at the materials. They are basically all ready-made. Steel plates and electric welding machines are available in factories. Collision tubes and batteries are also available. Batteries can be found. Motors are also fine. Zhu Bin has covered the most complicated things that require high craftsmanship.——
It's not difficult. Compared with the torpedo I want to build, this thing is much more lethal and easy to use! Let's start work!
As soon as the order was given, a large group of workers gathered at Xinmin Machinery responded with a roar, excitedly rolled up their sleeves and worked overtime all night long.
Liu Banxia saw that he could not intervene, so he went back to his residence. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the factory behind him, he found several key parts of the torpedo outside the mysterious container. He was so frightened that the hair on his body stood up -
-This thing is so monstrous! How did you do it? There is a ghost in this box!
He carefully picked up the things and hurried away as if he was avoiding the plague. He was so filled with thoughts and ghosts that he didn't want to stay near him, so he sent them to Hu Juewen overnight.
Zhu Bin didn't know about his unintentional omission. He almost frightened his little brother by simply transmitting the design drawings to the container processing center through the lifeboat in the sky. He didn't have anything important to do here, so he squatted in the command room and spread out a paper.
After working on a large pile of drawings as he pleased, he was so tired that his back ached after a long day of work. Only then did he realize that this was not a job that a strong man like him should do.
On February 17, the war in Shanghai escalated again. The government energized the whole country and prepared for a long-term war of resistance. It sent two divisions of the newly formed Fifth Army to Shanghai to take over the left wing position of the 19th Route Army. The Japanese 9th Division was all in place. Ueda
Qianji was so confident that he even sent out planes to reconnoiter Suzhou, posing as a gesture of improvement.
Zhu Bin could only watch from a distance, unable to exert his energy for the time being, anxious and helpless. He was rubbing his waist and thinking about how to be lazy, when he saw Wang Pingnan come in with a strange look on his face, glaring at him and giving him a big meal.
Zhu Bin was so scared that he wiped his face to see if there was no putty, and asked in confusion: "Why are you looking at me like this? What's wrong?!"
Wang Pingnan seemed to be very confused for a while, then frowned and said, "Have you contacted the Navy Department?"
He Xianglao's recommendation was still fresh in his mind, so he said this. But Zhu Bin was puzzled and said, "No! I can't fight with them. They are so busy that they don't care about their buttocks. How could they?"
Take care of those cowards when you have time!"
Since the beginning of the war, the navy has been hiding in the upper reaches of Huangpu and the Nanjing Yangtze River Channel, refusing to go out to fight on the grounds that "Minister He of the Military and Political Department has strictly ordered not to go to war." It watched as the brothers of the 19th Route Army fought in bloody battles and were killed by Japanese naval guns.
Carrier-based aircraft besieged and bullied you, and you just stood by and watched. These days, newspapers from all walks of life in Shanghai have been scolded, and Zhu Bin can't stand it. It's not your fault that you don't have combat effectiveness. If you refuse to come out to resist when the country is in crisis, what kind of navy are you?!
"Then why did Minister Chen of the Navy come to see you in person?!" Wang Pingnan felt that this boy was pretending to be stupid, and there was an unhappy look on his face.
"What?! Secretary of the Navy? Come to see me in person? Stop joking!"
Zhu Bin shook his hands again and again, this is impossible! How high is the Minister of the Navy? Admiral! There are hundreds of millions of people in the country. Although he has no real power or appeal, he is still a minister. It is an offense to come to see him, a little shrimp.
What?
"It's not a joke! The adjutant who communicated is outside, come and see for yourself." Wang Pingnan held back and didn't say anything unpleasant, sighed softly, turned around and left.
Zhu Bin was confused. He put down his brush and put on his makeup and went out of the room. He saw in the hall a young officer who was clean and tidy and couldn't find any faults. He stood there tall and straight, with a pair of sharp eyes.
He looked over coldly.
"Excuse me, is this Vice Captain Zhu Bin of the Volunteer Army? I am Zheng Datang, the adjutant of Minister Chen of the Navy."
Chapter completed!
