Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Seeing such a huge disagreement, Li Qinwu called Li Ruinian over and asked him for his opinion.

Li Ruinian said: "I don't disagree with modification, I disagree with radicalization!

The anti-aircraft turret developed by Li Zhi and Li Hui uses too many motor devices. These things have not been verified, so how can they be equipped on a large scale?

Given the size of the Great Wall, there must be nearly a hundred anti-aircraft machine guns installed, right? With a large number of them, there are many problems. What if the motor gets stuck when encountering enemy aircraft bombing on the battlefield? What if the functional circuit is short-circuited?

The most important indicator of a weapon is reliability. In this era, no automatic machine is more reliable than a human!"

Li Qinwu asked: "What is your opinion? You know that so many of our brothers died in the bombing by the Japanese planes before."

Li Ruinian sighed.

"My opinion is to slow down the pace and test the automatic device on the Pioneer first. If it passes the test, then install it on a large scale on the Great Wall."

Li Zhenghe interrupted and said, "The great powers are eyeing us covetously. Time does not allow us to advance steadily. We must actively adopt advanced technology. Only then can we compete with the powerful powers with strong financial resources."

Li Ruinian's face was full of sarcasm.

"If you take too big a step, you'll easily get into trouble. If you blindly pin your future on technology, it's also a form of gambling! It's no different from the gambling of the devil Xier!"

After the two men stated their opinions, they looked at Li Qinwu and asked him to make the decision.

Li Qinwu felt a bit of a headache. One of the two was radical and the other was conservative. Which one should he choose?

Li Qinwu tends to be radical. Given their current situation, they can only take a radical path to develop rapidly. However, Li Ruinian is a frontline officer and he is afraid that the weapons delivered from the rear are unreliable, which is understandable.

After a long silence, Li Qinwu made a decision.

"The modification of the Great Wall has been put on hold for now. It is better not to install new equipment on the ship until the Pioneer is confirmed to be reliable."

Li Ruinian breathed a sigh of relief and a victorious smile appeared on his face. Li Zhenghe shrugged his shoulders, indicating that you are the boss and you have the final say.

Li Qinwu continued, "Put the repair of the Great Wall on the agenda immediately! The Japanese are planning to attack Hutou Mountain, and the number of ships traveling between the Japanese mainland and Lushun, Korea may increase. I plan to send the Great Wall to hunt."

He glanced at the place where the bow of the Great Wall was blown up. The huge hole exposed a lot of structure. The armor around the hole was extremely twisted, especially the chrysanthemum pattern on the bow, which was blown crooked.

"The bow is severely damaged and there is no need to repair it. Saw it off and build a new one."

Li Ruinian's eyes widened and he wanted to refute on the spot, wanting to keep Juhua Wen Yao.

Li Qinwu knew what he was thinking, and before he could even open his mouth, he said, "The bow is too twisted, with 200mm of armor, how are you going to bend it back?

Besides, this chrysanthemum pattern is the symbol of the Japanese royal family after all. This battleship is already ours. It is not appropriate to carry this thing on it. Let's saw it off and put it in a museum.

Li Ruinian, go back and think of a navy emblem, burn it together with the ceramic steel and install it."

Li Ruinian moved his lips, sighed and agreed. It would not be good to keep the Great Wall in this state forever. At least he could design the navy logo himself.

Li Ruinian left, his back looked a bit lonely, Li Qinwu understood, as he also had a complex about being an original.

But even if the Great Wall had not been damaged by the explosion, Li Qinwu would have had the Chrysanthemum Wen Yao sawed off. He still remembered that after the Zhenyuan was captured by the Japanese, it was decommissioned and dismantled, and the iron anchor was placed in Tokyo's Ueno Park by the Japanese for display.

The national humiliation must be punished greatly. The chrysanthemum inscription on the Great Wall will become an exhibit in the Chongqing Museum and become the shame of the Japanese devils!

After Li Ruinian left, Li Qinwu said to Li Zhenghe: "The Great Wall is our family property. We cannot modify it too radically. If we modify it too radically and damage it, we will have no ship left.

However, you can still use new technology on newly built ships. Once the 50-meter oven is built, you can build a batch of warships with higher automation."

Li Zhenghe was delighted. He had been unhappy about not being able to modify the Great Wall before. But if he aimed at the goal of automation from the beginning of shipbuilding, it would be much better than modifying an old ship.

Li Qinwu wanted to add fuel to the fire, so he told him about his recent signing with MC Tietong.

Li Zhenghe was stunned.

"Magma is always dissipating heat? This, this, this...isn't this an infinite energy source?"

Li Qinwu was also very sad.

"Yes, for now this is unlimited energy. Do you want to design a steam battleship powered by magma?"

Li Zhenghe scratched his head frantically, obviously his CPU was overloaded.

Now and in the future, boiling water to drive steam turbines is the core power solution for large ships. For example, the Liaoning aircraft carrier is powered by steam turbines, but it burns heavy oil instead of coal.

Of course, as long as it can provide heat, anything can be burned. Magma can continuously output a high temperature of 1400 degrees. This thing is very powerful enough to boil water!

Of course, what excites Li Zhenghe the most is that with this infinitely heat-dissipating magma block as power, the power system only needs to occupy a very small space in the hull, and more importantly, no fuel is needed!

The bottom of a large ship is filled with either heavy oil or coal, which takes up a lot of space. But if all this space is freed up, how much can be done?

"Boss... Boss, can you give me the MC barrel first? I'll study it. If infinite power is really feasible, then we can blow up the battleship!"

Li Qinwu had no objection and gave the MC iron barrel to him for research. Then he searched through his family assets to see if he could build a qualified steam turbine. He concluded that he could, but the quality and output power were not good enough.

Steam turbines have to work in a high temperature, high pressure and high friction environment, and have a large number of blades inside, which are quite difficult to process.

This won’t do. Li Qinwu still wants to achieve nationwide electrification, so high-power steam turbines must be developed.

Li Qinwu strode towards Zero's exclusive workshop, intending to assign some tasks to Zero as well.
