Chapter 375 New Ship
As more and more people came for dinner, engineer Jack also walked into the restaurant.
It is said that Sanger is really good to these people. They eat and drink constantly every day. As long as they can provide them, they will have no problem.
However, those who were led here by the Eighth Investigation Division were basically ungrateful guys.
They don't even agree with the Northern Principality, let alone a foreign nation?
Smart people like Benjamin don't show it if they don't agree.
But Engineer Jack is different. He has a bad temper and is irritable, and some of his thoughts are undisguised.
When he saw that there were no shrimps for dinner, he placed the cutlery on the table.
"Didn't I say that every meal must have shrimp? Are you deaf?"
The chef suffered a bit from the previous conflict.
This fueled Jack's arrogance. He felt that he was a senior talent and had privileges.
Unexpectedly, the chef seemed to be a different person today. When he saw him getting angry, he rolled his eyes: "Master Engineer, why did you come late today? The shrimps have been eaten long ago."
"Then go and make me another one." Jack said politely.
"Hey, do you really think you are a big shot? I tolerated you before because I was in the Northern Principality, but now that you are out at sea, you are nothing." The chef didn't take his words seriously at all.
The surrounding sailors also looked at Jack jokingly, eager to see the ugly face of this superior engineer.
After all, even if Jack arrives in the United Kingdom, he still has a certain status and is better than sailors like them.
The mentality of hating the rich can be found everywhere.
As for people with ulterior motives like Benjamin, they have already obtained the information they want.
Of course, this is not good news.
"Damn, something went wrong."
Benjamin was really dumbfounded. On the sea, the sky and the earth really didn't work.
Even if you have some ideas, there is no room for implementation.
The chef had already quarreled with Jack, and some secret information was exposed.
Jack didn't believe it at all and clamored to see President Sanger.
In fact, Sanger was always there, silently watching the reactions of these senior talents.
Only then did he show up.
"Okay, stop arguing. Go and fry another plate of shrimps for Mr. Jack to taste."
As for further punishment, he simply ignored it.
As I said before, I am no longer in the Northern Principality, so I have a lot less worries.
Of course, he will not exploit these intellectuals as slaves, but will continue to respect them.
Of course, the premise is that these intellectuals can understand the reality.
This time it's all about banging.
It's a pity that Jack hasn't seen the reality clearly yet and still yells about punishing the chef.
But Sanger just smiled and comforted him. As for punishing his compatriots, who were you kidding?
This scene made Benjamin realize that he had been deceived.
…
In fact, no one cares about the fate of the piglets who were deceived into going abroad.
The steam engine has been developed to its extreme, and it is becoming more and more difficult to improve.
It turns out that steampunk is just a beautiful vision, and it is simply impossible to realize it.
Therefore, all exported technologies will eventually turn into a big pit, swallowing up countless resources.
Of course, on large ships, steam turbines will still have great leading capabilities.
However, as small machinery has been industrialized, steam engines will become increasingly unable to keep up with the times.
Derek was not a pedantic person. While secretly starting a new research route, he continued to increase investment in steam battleships and led everyone into a big pit.
However, the amount of steam machinery in society has begun to gradually decrease, but it is not obvious yet.
For example, the battleship that most intuitively embodies combat effectiveness and steam technology.
With the popularity of Warrior-class battleships, various technologies in military shipyards have accumulated rapidly.
Military shipyards with money and policies directly launched large-scale research projects.
From 5,000-meter to 10,000-meter warships, warships of various types and appearances have been designed one after another.
The latest weapons and armor are all used on new warships.
And the latest steam turbine provides a strong heart for the new battleship.
The wealthy military shipyards directly opened several shipyards to jointly manufacture experimental warships of different densities.
Such a large-scale operation cannot be concealed at all unless it is intentionally concealed.
Great, Derek is going to use the warship as bait.
So all kinds of news were flying all over the place, even newspapers reported on it, and blurry photos showed the progress of shipbuilding.
This information was naturally received by some with ulterior motives.
But for military shipyards, whether they fish or not has nothing to do with them. They just want to build more warships.
At this time, the military shipyards had already replaced their guns with guns.
It not only has multiple shipyard bases, but also dozens of large and small shipyards.
In addition to official orders, they also undertake some social orders.
But the strictest old shipyards are full of the latest ships.
The factory director, with his hands behind his back, patrolled the old shipyard base again.
Since being warned, he has been very restrained in his actions.
But he was sincere about shipbuilding.
Seeing the shipyard come up with multiple design drawings, he took inventory of his family's assets and waved his hand, indicating that he would build one for them all.
There are many old shipyards, so not all shipyards are producing new test ships.
The factory first looked at a Warrior-class ship.
The displacement of 4,000 meters was once a record-breaking existence.
With the special ship armor, it is absolutely unique in this era.
This ship was ordered by the Canard Navy Command and is not far from completion.
The factory director was full of energy and said loudly: "Be careful, the Canard Navy Command is very picky, don't lose our reputation when delivering."
After seeing that all the workers were serious, the factory director strolled to the nearby dock.
What is built here is a new test ship.
Compared with the Warrior-class, the new ship is not to say anything else, but at least it is a lot bigger.
And with the development and demand of navigation technology, the Navy Department has put forward requirements for various types of ships.
For example, battleships as main battleships.
Frigates that perform escort missions.
Destroyers that can perform tasks alone and can be incorporated into large fleets.
The Navy Department's tasks are gradually increasing, and naturally there are more requirements.
For example, the White Sand Islands, you can't just leave a bunch of the most advanced battleships to do ordinary work.
Not to mention the waste, it is also impossible to complete the task efficiently.
For some tasks that require independent combat capabilities, battleships or destroyers must be dispatched.
For some low-requirement tasks, frigates can solve the problem.
Different emphases are reflected in firepower, armor, etc., which are naturally different.
For example, the big guy in front of the factory director.
