In Shatiandun, Qinzhou, since 25 years, this desolate beach has suddenly become lively. Many people are sitting here with black smoke making strange noises, moving things, flattening the ground, building roads, digging pits, planting trees, and building houses. Seeing that this craft is about to settle here, the brave fishermen came forward to inquire and said that they were here to build a boat port, which made the nearby fishermen burst into pieces. Even though everyone relied on the sea to make a living, the sea was so big that there were so many people competing for their jobs with them.

Just when the villagers were about to defend their interests, a few people came over there, and the township head and county magistrate came with them. According to the explanation of the township head, the county magistrate, these people did not want to compete with everyone for jobs. The boats they built were not for fishing, and the boat ports they built could be used together. This dispelled the idea of ​​fishermen nearby.

However, the things built by these people made the villagers a little confused. They built very long and wide houses by the beach, so big that many people never thought of them in their lives. Not long after, a large area here was surrounded by walls and wire mesh. The villagers couldn't see them even if they wanted to see them, but it didn't matter whether they could see them or not. The key is that these people really didn't compete with themselves for their jobs. At the same time, because of their arrival, the fish they caught and the vegetables grown by the women on the corner of the house had sales, and their income gradually became richer. In addition, although many of these people were carrying guns, they spoke politely and fairly, so the villagers gradually accepted and recognized these new neighbors who moved here.

One day, many cars suddenly came to the simple road leading to the outside, not only the big trucks that I often saw before, but also many cars that I didn’t see often, including several very beautiful black cars, which led to the little kids in the nearby villages running far away.

"General Manager, this is a Q-type submarine that we used the drawings and some components that the Germans secretly resold to us. Now we have produced two ships, with a length of 31.6 meters, a draft of 4.2 meters, a displacement of 287 tons, and a diesel-electric dual propulsion power, a surface speed of 11 knots, a water level of 5 knots, 19 members, and two 533 mm torpedo tubes at the head of the boat. 4 ammunitions are prepared and the submersible depth is 80 meters." As the chief engineer of the shipyard, Yang Xueyi is introducing the products he produced to his boss Duan Guoxue.

"Okay! OK! Have you passed the trial? The performance is so good?"

"Have been trialed for 1 month and has good performance."

"Have you understood the technology thoroughly? I don't want our factory to be imitated. I need you to master the technology firmly and develop our own submarines."

"Please rest assured by the general manager. We have mastered the key production technologies and production processes now, and are now working on the final research on several core technologies such as bearing seals, torpedo launch tubes, ballast water tanks, etc. By the end of this year, we will fully master these core technologies."

"Very good. You must not only be able to imitate, but also develop it yourself. I heard that the drawings and components we bought at a high price have all kinds of problems?"

"Yes, on the drawings, some places that should be polished are not polished, and those that should be carbonized are not specified. Some parts in the components are replaced by defective products. However, what we admire is that even if they are defective products, the process and processing level of these parts have reached a very high level, and some can even be compared with the excellent products in our factory." Yang Xueyi's unceremonious evaluation made some people look a little bad after hearing this, and the people in the shipyard were even more shocked. They could not have imagined that their chief engineer would actually evaluate the products of their boss's factory so ruthlessly, which made them even more surprised and shocked that Duan Guoxue was not at all unhappy. Instead, he said with great recognition and earnestness:

"Yes... Mr. Yang, you are right. After several years of construction and development, many of our equipment, such as machine tools, milling machines and other equipment, have reached the same technical level in the world, but the products we produce are still not as good as others. This is because we not only lack high-level technical workers, but also lack the idea of ​​striving for excellence and strict self-discipline. With the same production conditions, why are the defective products of Germans better than our first-class products? This is the product of the strict self-required by the Germans. In the past, because we still lacked technical workers, but as time accumulates, we not only have to strictly control the technical requirements of the Germans, but also have to formulate more rigorous and abnormal technical standards than the Germans in the production of some military equipment. Military products are different from ordinary products. Quality is not qualified, and I don't want to let an unqualified product threaten the precious lives of our soldiers."

Duan Guoxue's speech received a burst of applause from the people around him. Although Duan Guoxue didn't know how much of these applauses came from inner recognition or went out to cater to the perfunctory scene, Duan Guoxue really fell in love with this kind of superior feeling.

"General Engineer Yang, how are the imitation and research of torpedoes going forward? With the submarine, don't have to have the torpedo bullet." Duan Guoxue suddenly remembered this question and asked.

"The research on torpedoes is somewhat slow. The main reason is that no matter which type of power, we lack sufficient technology and research. There is also a problem with gyro guides. Since the technology of our precision machinery factory is not yet meeting the requirements, the gyro guides produced cannot meet the requirements of ensuring direct torpedo flights, and the error is very large. However, a research and research team has been formed to carry out special technical research for the project. According to the current progress, qualified gyro guides can be developed and produced in 6 months."

"Very good! Very good! When facing difficulties, don't be afraid! You must have the motivation to bite the bullet and create a new trend. Mr. Yang, please give me a research project report on the main problems that arise in your research in the future. For some projects that can drive the development of other industries, you can directly apply to me for reports. Like the gyroscope you mentioned just now, this is a good thing. With it, we can achieve preliminary automation in many projects and products. Not only that, we can also greatly improve the technical level of our precision machinery products in research and production. For projects like this, Mr. Yang will need to worry more about discussing it in your internal areas. You not only need to complete the scientific research tasks of design and production, but also consider improving the height of the entire industrial production chain."

"General Manager, someone has told me about the issue you mentioned, but he has not convinced me. Today I heard what you said. I used to think that the product was just a single one, but I didn't expect that the general manager was still considering the market. I was not considering it. I will pay more attention to this aspect in the future." Yang Xueyi said thoughtfully.

"Haha, Mr. Yang, a product produced for 100 million yuan may have the effect of determining the outcome of a battle, but 100 million products produced for 100 million yuan can determine the outcome of a battle or even a strategy. Low-cost and high-yield things can sometimes make up for quality shortcomings with quantity. Of course, quality and quantity are our eternal pursuit."

"General Manager, I understand."

"Then General Manager Yang, since you have seen the 'guns' and 'bullets' you produce here, do you want to take me to see the people who operate them?"

"This is what it should be, but there is another person who will lead the way and introduce you. After all, I am only responsible for researching and producing this aspect."

"Okay, thank you for your contribution to the country and the company. I believe that soon, you and your team will bring me more surprises and good news!"

"must!!!"

After Yang Xueyi finished singing the main character of the shipyard production research, Duan Guoxue and his group came to the simple pier, where several old speedboats and an old submarine were parked. On the pier, dozens of standing straight soldiers were waiting for Duan Guoxue's arrival to review.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the Navy's Underwater Submarine Team and the Surface Ship Team report to you. The Underwater Submarine Team should have 56 people, and the actual number of people. The surface ship team should have 61 people. The Navy General Head Lu Wanyang reported to you! Please instruct!"

"Lu Wanyang, as a representative of the submarine special study, led 22 students to Germany in 1919 for special submarine operation. Now he has returned from graduation?"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, 6 years ago you sent 23 of us to Germany for special study on submarine operations. Now, we are back in Yicheng to report to you!"

"Okay! OK! I heard that you have received praise from strict and harsh German officers over there. I hope this praise is not polite, but from their heartfelt sincere praise."

"I'm sure that this praise is a true affirmation of our outstanding performance from the heart."

"Okay! I won't talk about the vain words and vain rituals. Have you done the submarines we produce now? You can just mention any comments!"

"Commander-in-chief, I'm very happy that we can drive the submarines we produce ourselves, but as for Q-type submarines, it is timely to build new submarines. It is technically behind. However, since we already have a primary industrial foundation, the research and development of new submarines is also underway."

"Well, how is the training?"

"The commander-in-chief provides excellent soldiers. Whether in terms of cultural or physical fitness, the first batch of soldiers will graduate in five months."

"I ask you, with a professional perspective, how long will it take to graduate from becoming a qualified naval submarine officer and an excellent submarine officer and soldier?"

"To be honest, it will take at least 3 or 5 years. An excellent sailor cannot be measured by courage alone. The technical content of the navy is slightly higher than that of other troops, which requires long-term training. At the same time, an excellent sailor's role on the entire ship is not as obvious as that of the army. What the ship needs is a group of excellent sailors to complete together. The 3 or 5 years I said is still relatively optimistic. When I was studying abroad, I could clearly feel the power of the old navy of European and American powers that has been accumulated over hundreds or even hundreds of years."

"To put it more specifically, while the staff from all sides are here, I will share with you some of the things you know."

"Okay, for example, in positions such as turbines and pipe damage, the personnel in these positions can easily find many suitable sailors among the naval powers, and they are veteran sailors or technicians with experience in this position. Time has not worn away the courage in their hearts. Instead, because of the accumulation of experience, they become the best seafarers. It can be said that just their many technical talent resources are hard for us to match."

“Is there any more?”

"Faith! That kind of invincible and fearless confidence after experiencing the accumulation of history! Sometimes, when everyone has this confidence, even a ship that is damaged can create amazing miracles!"

"Well said it! Do you have any opinions?"

"Commander General, I am not convinced. Commander Lu's words have no backbone as a Chinese. They are all good and strong foreigners. Did the commander General spend so much money to lick their leather boots when he sees the foreign flag?!" Xiong Puliang spoke. As one of the three giants of the army, he not only had a deep disgust for the navy that spent a lot of money, but also felt extremely harsh that Lu Wanyang had all the words he had just criticized him for his words.

"What did you say?!" Lu Wanyang was deeply angry at Xiong Puliang's words. His red face and the blue veins on his forehead proved his current mood.

"What? What's wrong? Otherwise, I will repeat what you said just now to everyone. I have no ambition at all. Look at our army. Even if we know that it is death, we will never turn our butt towards the enemy. If we want to die, we will die on the way to charge!!! Learn from our army well." Xiong Puliang's words filled the air with the scent of tension.

"Stop quarrel!!! You think I'm transparent!!" Duan Guoxue spoke at the right time to prevent this opposition situation.

"Puliang, Captain Lu's speech was approved by my consent and permission, just to ask him to tell the truth. Why do you have any objections?"

"No..." Xiong Puliang saw Duan Guoxue's questioning, and just now he was proud and immediately lowered his head.

"What Captain Lu just said is the truth, to let everyone know that after hundreds of years of precipitation, the strength of the great powers is not something we can compete with after having two money and win a few battles. This is to remind everyone that we are still far away, so don't be confused about the little profit in front of us. Puliang, you have any opinions on the navy, because the money and manpower and material resources I invested in the navy cannon, but do you know that if we don't have a navy, no matter how powerful the army is, we can only passively let other powers fight. It is impolite to come and not to be polite. China's door was blasted open by the great powers with naval cannons, so we will also use the navy to send you back to their land in the future."

"Commander-in-chief!" Several army chiefs lit up their eyes when they heard Duan Guoxue's speech.

"But Captain Lu was right. Unlike the army, the navy not only needs excellent ships, but also requires a large number of excellent sailors. Therefore, the investment now is worth it and necessary!"

"Commander-in-chief, you are right. At the same time, I also reviewed the speech just now. I did not consider our own morale and the self-esteem of other comrades."

"Forget it, nothing. Some words I say are different from what you say. Now we have good human, material, financial and even some advantages in technology. Everyone needs to seize the time to catch up with the great powers. Pu Liang, isn't your troops stationed in this area? Not only do you have to deal with the navy, I also want you to take people on the ship to train."

"Commander-in-chief, what are you training?"

"Didn't you always say you want to go abroad to let the foreigners know the pros and cons of the soldiers you brought out? Then I will organize you into the first Marine Corps to let you adapt to life in the sea. In the future, I need you to go abroad to play the strong and mighty Chinese!!" The new army name mentioned by Duan Guoxue suddenly let Xiong Puliang know his future position, with his eyes lit up and his legs:
Chapter completed!
