Apocalyptic Hero System

Chapter 31 Ice Ship

When Li Yuanhong heard that it would take five years to build a ship, his heart sank. His last hope was shattered. It seemed that building his own ship to fight pirates was not feasible.

Why does it take so long to build a ship? Li Yuanhong asked casually.

Shipbuilding is a delicate job. The steel plates of the ship must be welded, and there must be no sloppiness. There must be no sloppiness in the connection of various spare parts. Once there is any sloppiness, it may cause the ship to be destroyed and people to die. An accident. As for Asan, they built a warship, but the heat insulation board of the boiler was made of refractory bricks produced in our country. Those things were not insulated at all. As a result, these people cut corners and modified them without authorization. According to the drawings, during the sea trial, four of the five boilers burned out, and they later falsely accused us of substandard materials.

Why is there such a thing? Isn't this a big joke! Li Yuanhong was very surprised!

So there can't be any carelessness in shipbuilding.

It would be great if the ship could be modeled and built as a whole. Zhao Rui muttered next to him.

What did you say? Li Yuanhong didn't hear clearly what Zhao Rui said, so he asked again.

Oh, I mean, it would be great if we could make a big mold for the body piercing body and then pour it directly with molten iron.

Upon hearing these words, the two engineers laughed loudly and said: Hahaha, Captain Zhao is really good at joking. Not to mention that it takes a lot of time to build the mold. Even if the mold can be built, it is impossible to cast such a huge mold. When it comes to the hull, we must especially ensure that there are no pores or trachoma in the hull, which is an almost impossible task.”

After listening to the words of the two engineers, Li Yuanhong asked: Isn't it possible to use other materials to build a ship?

Other materials? The reason why modern ships use steel as the hull is because the hull is large. Other materials cannot build such a large ship. In the past, wood was used to make the hull, but it was easily destroyed by wind, waves and cannonballs. There was no way Fight.”

Can we use ice? Li Yuanhong suddenly remembered the ice wall from before.

Use ice? This is feasible, but not feasible! an engineer replied.

Why is it feasible but not feasible? Li Yuanhong asked in confusion?

During World War II, the British built ice ships in response to the German attack, but they failed once they went to sea. The engines of all ships had a fatal flaw, which was that they generated heat. As a result, the ice ships melted due to their own heat. Therefore, building an ice ship is feasible but not feasible. If the problem of engine heating is not solved, it will be impossible to build an ice ship capable of combat.

After listening to the engineer's words, Li Yuanhong's brain began to spin rapidly. After thinking for a while, Li Yuanhong asked the two engineers: If the engine problem is solved, how long will it take to build an ice ship.

According to the current weather, building an ice ship can take anywhere from a month to half a month, depending on the complexity of the ice ship.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanhong immediately became excited: Okay, let's build an ice ship, and leave the engine to me. You first make a few drawings of the ice ship, and we will discuss the feasibility later.

The two engineers looked at Li Yuanhong in a daze. Is this man going crazy? We didn't make it clear just now. Where can he get an engine that doesn't heat up?

Ignoring the two engineers who were still stunned, Li Yuanhong turned around and strode out of the shipyard. Li Yuanhong wanted to find someone as soon as possible to make an engine that did not generate heat. This was related to whether pirates could be eradicated in the near future. If pirates were not eradicated, his own development would be hampered. Restricted, especially many routes from Vladivostok are crucial routes. Those pirates not only threaten maritime transportation, but also seriously threaten land transportation, which may completely cut off the route to Vladivostok. This is Li Yuanhong Don't want to see it.

Riding a griffon, Li Yuanhong hurried back to the base of the valley. He hadn't been here for almost a month, and it was very busy now. Although it was winter, the ginseng field and the farm built by Li Yuanhong were still busy, as well as here It has become an important industrial and research center. The addition of Dr. Bai brought by the No. 2 leader has doubled the strength of the entire scientific research team. Now it has begun to develop not only magic guns, but also modern magic cannons. This kind of magic cannon The range and power of the magic gun are greater than the system's magic cannon, and the magic gun can fire continuously, which is similar to modern rifles. If these two weapons are successfully developed, Li Yuanhong's troops can say goodbye to cold weapons and completely enter the military. In the era of magic weapons, even unleveled warriors will be able to kill zombies of level ten or higher. That will be the beginning of mankind's true counterattack.

When Li Yuanhong walked into the Magic Tower, it was no longer deserted. In addition to guards, people in white coats came in and out of the laboratory from time to time. These were assistants to various professors. From time to time, these people were holding various materials, including reports. A busy scene.

Seeing Li Yuanhong arriving, the guard hurriedly greeted him: Here comes the captain. Who are you going to find when you come over today? Li Yuanhong is a busy man and will never sit around without anything to do.

What is Dr. Yuan busy with now? Li Yuanhong asked.

Dr. Yuan is doing the final debugging work on the car engine. The guard reported in detail.

Oh, let's see Dr. Yuan take a rest later. I have something to do with him.

Yes, I have written it down. I will notify Dr. Yuan later. the guard said.

Okay, I'll go to the rest area to rest for a while. Pour me a cup of black tea to refresh myself.

Yes! The guard retreated.

Li Yuanhong came to the rest area, sat down for a while, and immediately fell asleep. He had been too busy in the past two days and had not had a good rest, especially flying in the air, which was very energy-consuming, so he fell asleep as soon as he sat down.

I don’t know how long it took, but Li Yuanhong felt someone calling him: “Captain, captain, Dr. Yuan is here!”

Li Yuanhong quickly opened his eyes and dimly saw Dr. Yuan staring at him and smiling. Li Yuanhong quickly rubbed his cheeks with both hands to wake himself up, then picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one breath.

When Dr. Yuan saw Li Yuanhong wake up, he asked, Boy Li, what's going on here today?

That's right, I want Dr. Yuan to research a marine power device that does not generate heat. Li Yuanhong said straight to the point.

A power device that does not generate heat? What do you want this for? Dr. Yuan asked curiously.

I want to build an ice boat! Li Yuanhong said.

Ice ship?! Two voices sounded at the same time, one from Dr. Yuan and one from behind Li Yuanhong. Li Yuanhong quickly looked back and saw an old man with white hair standing behind him, it was Dr. Bai.

Dr. Bai saw Li Yuanhong looking at him and complained: What are you doing here again? The last time you came to my place, you asked me to do some acceptance inspection, which caused me to lose half a day of research time. Do you know how precious time is now!

Isn't this because of helplessness? If you don't take action, how can I turn out to be a traitor? I am not here to disturb your research. Li Yuanhong quickly apologized and said with a smile. To these old scientists, Li Yuanhong is definitely an ancestor. , I don’t dare to be offended in the slightest.

Stop talking nonsense and tell me quickly what's going on with the ice ship?

So Li Yuanhong talked about the pirates, the difficulties in building ships, and his idea of ​​building an ice ship.

Don't you see, you kid still has a lot of ideas in your head. Why don't you come over and do research with me! Dr. Bai seduced Li Yuanhong and said.

No, I'm very active and restless, so don't let me do research. Li Yuanhong quickly apologized.

I know you have a monkey temper, and you don't have to be stable for two minutes. Dr. Bai gave Li Yuanhong a big veto, and then turned to Dr. Yuan and said, I said, Lao Yuan, do you think this engine can be built?

In the past, I dare not say, but now with rune magic, this kind of engine is really impossible to build, but it requires a lot of crystal cores. If we had the tenth-level crystal core that this guy mentioned earlier, maybe we could It is not impossible to create a new aerospace engine. Dr. Yuan said with emotion.

When he mentioned the tenth-level crystal core, Li Yuanhong suddenly remembered the fifty cavemen he had let go. Those were fifty tenth-level crystal nuclei. So he quickly said to Dr. Yuan: I will get the tenth-order crystal core for you as soon as possible. When can you develop the engine? Li Yuanhong was afraid that Dr. Yuan would make a promise of two or three years. In that case, everything would be cold. Got it!

Old Bai, how many days do you think you can tell him? Dr. Yuan looked at Dr. Bai and asked.

This is a new challenge. I think we should give it a little longer. We have to build more than one engine. Dr. Bai said.

Li Yuanhong's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: It's over, we can't delay this for five years!

Then just one month! What do you think of Lao Bai?

Dr. Bai nodded, and then said: Then one month!

At this time, Li Yuanhong was completely relieved. His heart was so tossing up and down, and Li Yuanhong probably would have a heart attack sooner or later if he stayed here, so he left in a hurry.

Li Yuanhong left the laboratory and returned directly to Spring City. Li Yuanhong had promised to get the tenth-order crystal core. This could not be obtained by just talking. Now he knew that the only place with tenth-order crystal core was the grassland of Mongolia Province. , now that the zombies and cavemen have stopped fighting there, it is not easy to fish in troubled waters. Therefore, to complete this task, we must find some way, and it may not be completed in a short time, so Li Yuanhong must settle his own internal affairs, and don’t do it himself As soon as he left, there was another rebellion. It was just a little bit worse than last time, and his old nest was lost.

Li Yuanhong called the heads of various departments together and said: Everyone has been working hard recently, but this is the end of the world. I hope everyone will not relax. If there is anything, you should communicate more. If you encounter difficulties, it is better than carrying it alone. , use the wisdom of the people below. By the way, Liu Hu, how is the public security now?

Security is okay, but recently some homeless people have been causing trouble. Often when we rush over, these homeless people run away, and we haven't been able to catch them several times.

Don't underestimate these troublemakers. Once the bad guys don't get the punishment they deserve, then they may become bolder, and then they may kill people and set fires in the city. I guess these people are all ability users. You can organize a special ability To deal with these ability users, you need to work closely with Ma Fengyong. He has a lot of information that you can use. As a security officer, don’t forget to collect intelligence, as this will help prevent problems before they happen.”

It's Brother Li, I've written it down. Liu Hu nodded.

Commander Xiao, how is the training of new recruits going over there?

Those new recruits are still wearing skins. If they want to go to the battlefield, it will take two or three months.

Well, it's cold here in winter and the machines are inconvenient to operate. It's just the right time to train troops. In addition, you can break the army into parts and go to the outskirts of the city around Siping to clear away scattered zombies. This can provide us with the next step. Action can pave the way and train the recruits’ courage.”

Good idea, I will arrange it later! Commander Xiao said happily.

By the way, is there any news from Fan Junjie and Shen Mengxi?

He is fighting on both sides, but the effect is not good and the losses are relatively large. However, it should not be a problem to capture the corresponding cities.

Hey, it seems they underestimated the enemy! Li Yuanhong sighed.
