My Italy

Rome has entered autumn in September. The joy of this harvest is not only felt by farmers, but also by major shipyards. The heads of major shipyards gathered together with their chief designers.

"Hello, Mr. Martelli, your Genoa Shipyard's business has been very good recently. The five 15,000-ton cargo ships of Gut Trading Company have not been able to occupy your dock. I am really envious."

"You don't know this. If our shipyard hadn't taken over these five cargo ships, we would have been so poor that we couldn't solve the problem. It's not like you haven't had a big order for half a year, but you are still living so well. I'm so envious!"

"How can it be possible? Isn't this to prepare for receiving orders from the Navy? Prepare in advance, prepare in advance."

The two smiling shipyard directors turned around and left as soon as their hands touched each other, which also proved that neither of them had been able to test each other.

Everyone here is a competitor, and they can really get along with each other. You mocked me for not being able to place orders, I mocked you for not being able to lift the pot for half a year, and everyone was half-hearted.

Of course, they are both shipyards, and there are differences between big and small. However, among the heads of each shipyard, everyone also has a tacit understanding, such as Aika Lugni, the head of Andoshar Shipyard, and Marti, the head of Venice Shipyard. Everyone even attacked Yas Horn and others. He kept saying all kinds of good things for free, trying to find out something.

There is no way, it is difficult for everyone to survive, and we dare not underestimate the two largest shipyards in Italy. After all, the opponent possesses weapons of mass destruction and two top warship designers.

After all, everyone is still unsure and wants to test the tone.

However, Lugni and Horn are also the heads of top shipyards. Who can run a top shipyard and is the most fuel-efficient person? Naturally, they are very tight-lipped, and the test has no effect at all.

Compared with these shipyard directors, the designers are much simpler. Although everyone is worried about being favored by the navy, as for the technicians, what else can they talk about after finally getting together? Naturally, it is technical topics.

"I prefer scissor-type bows. This type of bow is good at resisting sinking and is stable. In addition, it is quite suitable for high-speed navigation. I think that as time goes by, warships using scissor-type bows will become more and more popular. many."

A designer is talking about the German scissor bow. Since we are talking about it, there are naturally different opinions. This is not only mentioned by another designer.

"I don't think so. I have also learned about this type of ship bow. Its construction is very demanding and requires a 10,000-ton hydraulic press. The process requirements are also very high, which will push up its cost. Although this type of ship bow has advantages, But the construction cost is too high. Although I don’t have specific data on the use of this kind of bow, even the Germans who invented it have not used it much. This is enough to explain many problems. Either the effect is not ideal, or the cost is too high. , even the Germans themselves can’t afford it.”

Faced with the rebuttal of his peers, the designer also argued with his arguments.

"Although I also admit that the current cost of the flying shear type is too high, which restricts its use, but in my opinion, as time goes by, the cost will definitely come down, just like the steel battleships eliminated the wooden battleships. .Perhaps ten years from now, we will be able to see scissor-type warships all over the world."

"No, ten years is too short. I think it will take at least twenty or thirty years to be possible. Because the process requirements are too demanding, unless the machine is as dexterous as our hands."

The debate between the two designers immediately attracted everyone's attention in the small conference room. Considering that they were talking about the future development of the flying shear type, and there were all masters of ship manufacturing and design present, this naturally attracted everyone's attention. look.

At this time, someone shouted loudly. "Mr. Breen, you are a veteran in the warship design world. Which one of them do you think is more correct?"

Well, now all eyes are drawn to Brin.

Facing everyone's gaze, Brin was caught off guard but did not panic, and immediately spoke in his calm voice. "I don't know when the scissor bow will be used on a large scale. But the only thing that wants to win everyone's favor is that the function of this device outweighs the cost. As long as we can understand this principle, we will There is no need to worry about when the scissor bow can be used."

Brin's answer was very clever. It not only bypassed the focus of the dispute, but also ended the argument between the two parties. It was very good.

Breen's performance drew praise from Horn, who was watching all this from afar.

"Your Excellency Breen is worthy of his high moral character. He ended this debate with just one word. It is really wonderful. With Breen's help, Andoshar Shipyard will continue to grow and develop."

Well, the first sentence of Horn praised Brin, and the second sentence was said to Lugni beside him.

Facing Horn's praise, Lugni smiled silently, but who knew the bitterness in his heart?

If it weren't for the fact that Venice Shipyard mainly focused on naval orders, he would have thought that this person was trying to make a mockery of him.

Speaking of Mr. Breen's contribution to the development and growth of Andoshar Shipyard, he shouldn't have said anything. But some things can only be swallowed and cannot be said out. Especially when he saw the genius Vittorio Cuniberti, he felt even more depressed.

Well, this is the chief designer who covets the other party. But some things are indeed like this. If you don't have it, you may not miss it, but after you get it for a short time, you will inevitably regret it, and Lugni is in this state.

Especially the better the other party is, the more he feels sorry for him. Such a talent can provide technical support to his shipyard for at least thirty years. But it's useless to think about it now. If you have this time, you should take a closer look to see if there are any young talents emerging. In addition, you need to pray that God will take away the old Brin later.

The whole reason is that Mr. Brin is too dedicated, and his dedicated spirit blocks young talents with ideas from the door.

Well, no matter how you evaluate Mr. Breen, this is the Navy's shipbuilding bidding site, and everyone is here for the Navy's orders.

So when the Minister of the Navy, His Excellency Admiral Mateusz Yagier, appeared with senior naval officers, he immediately made everyone realize that the bidding meeting was about to begin.

"Everyone, welcome to this bidding meeting. Regarding this bidding meeting..."

After Admiral Yagir's brief opening remarks, he continued. "In this bidding, our Navy will not lower the indicators at all, so if the design drawings cannot meet our requirements, please consider it carefully."

Admiral Yagir's words immediately caused the meeting place to murmur. This news was too shocking.

You must know that everyone has participated in the bidding meeting before, and it has never been as strict as today. Is there something going on that I don't know about?

Faced with the situation at hand, Admiral Yagir did not explain anything. Instead, he started the bidding meeting with a sentence.
