When the elites of modern time and space were sent to the Mangshan Science and Technology Zone, Li Zhe left the blame. Naturally, there was a complete system that planned to restrict them. There, they would have two years to learn to adapt to this society and use their talents to serve the time and space of the Three Kingdoms. Li Zhe has already created a good starting point for them to begin in the time and space of the Three Kingdoms. As for whether they can seize this opportunity, it depends on their own.

Their final result is to create a group of local elites for the time and space of the Three Kingdoms that are sufficient to undertake rocket launch missions, and then take these elites to complete the satellite launch mission. For this reason, the Ming Empire of the Three Kingdoms era carried out planned and reserved relevant personnel and materials four or five years ago!

The future space launch site is built on the equatorial region of South Asia, on Sumatra Island. Here, the linear velocity generated by the earth's rotation reaches the maximum, at 465 meters per second, which is one-tenth of the first cosmic speed required by rockets launching satellites. This means that each ton of fuel burning from the rockets launched here can obtain a portion of the extra thrust, which increases the overall rocket launch by 1 to 20% ton of efficiency compared to temperate areas. The rocket thrust increases, fuel consumption decreases, and the rocket's life will be greatly extended.

In addition, this area is an island area with vast water surfaces and sparsely populated areas. The transportation and launch of rockets will be safer. Even if the rocket fails to launch, the wreckage will not cause great damage. Compared with the modern Chinese country of time and space, it has a greater advantage in nature.

At present, there is a busy construction. For the future of the Ming Empire!

...

Qingdao, the most important military port in the East China Sea region of the Ming Empire. It is also the home port of the local fleet, one of the three major fleets of the Ming Dynasty.

Surrounding Jiaodong Bay, the Imperial Navy shipyards stretching for hundreds of miles, one huge dry dock after another. The huge chimneys covered like forests, and the gushing smoke covered the entire sky. This is the scene of the era of the industrial age of the big steam engine and the most intense era of steel progress!

What constitutes all this is the crew members, technicians, shipyard workers of the Empire's size of more than five million people, and a considerable number of them are slaves!

The empire's shipbuilding industry has reached the point where it has fully understood and developed the technology of the steam engine era in modern time and space. Small water pipe boilers, three-swell steam engines. From paddle wheels to propellers, from wooden sails to steel warships, pistons, gas expansion theory, fluid dynamics and other basic disciplines have finally been continuously enriched!

Since the technological development of the empire has always been constantly changing with the deciphering and imitation of scientific and technological data in modern time and space, the development of steel manufacturing, mechanical processing, fluid mechanics, mechanical principles and other aspects of the empire are completely different from the development in a sequential manner like modern time and space.

Often, before one mechanical theory has been understood, another new mechanical drawing appears. The actual construction link at the lowest level of the entire scientific and technological system has always been at a loss and undergoing drastic changes. This leads to almost complete disconnection of the theory of the entire mechanical structure, from design, metal smelting, to mechanical processing.

This also led to the prevalence of wooden sailing ships, early paddle steamers, and ironclad ships and real all-steel warships in recent years.

On the one hand, it is for the cost. A large number of wooden sailboats still firmly maintain a competitive position in commercial transportation. On the other hand, the performance advantages of a large number of new steel steamships caused by the prevalence of steam engines gradually became prominent. This situation continued until five years ago, when the Empire finally began to use macro policies to encourage and support the standardized modernization process of the Empire's shipbuilding industry. After several years of continuous industrial transformation, the modular machinery manufacturing process began to spread widely.

From design to process separation, to the production, installation and construction of integrated components, the splicing of a large number of modular components, finally forming a complete hull. This new shipbuilding model and the application of a large number of steel machinery have completely transformed the imperial shipbuilding industry, simplified the process, shortened the production cycle, and greatly reduced the cost. Finally, when facing the wooden sail warship, it showed a comprehensive advantage from performance to cost!

Steel replaces wood, propellers replace sails, and the empire's shipbuilding industry is fully reborn and ushers in new glory!

The famous general-class all-steel battleship is the answer given by the Imperial Shipbuilding Industry in military applications!

Today is its day to go out to sea!

At the port, tens of thousands of people were crowded with people stretching their necks, waiting to see the appearance of this most powerful sea warship in the empire.

The captain of the first ship of the Imperial General-class battleship, Li Mu, and Colonel Wang Ji of the Imperial Navy's local fleet, were even more nervous. The people of the Empire here were all the families of the Qingdao local fleet, and their children and wives were among them. In the minds of these people, the stronger the warship, the safer the safety of their relatives' going to sea. Therefore, the birth of this new warship is also crucial to them! The eyes of their relatives and their earnest eyes are all looking here!

Under the attention of everyone, even an old man who has been through the battlefield for a long time, can't help but feel a little excited.

With a sound of cannon, the huge dry dock opened, and the huge sound of the machine bracket appeared shyly from behind the lock! The silver-gray painted, beautiful spherical bow, 180 meters long and 25 to 6 meters wide, and the narrow and long streamlined body has long become the standard shape of the Imperial warship. The whole body is covered with steel, and the protection of key parts is strengthened. The average armor covers 160 mm. As for key parts, especially the front armor on the turret, it is a protective strategy of 360 mm thick, which makes its maritime survivability excellent. Of course, in fact, in this time and space, there is no enemy that can threaten it.

Then we started to inject water. The draught was 8.4 meters, and the huge body with a full load displacement of 24,000 tons slowly floated up. After a while, after a command, it slowly slid into the deep water of the port along the track. At the moment of entering the water, a shocking cry suddenly broke out in the whole audience!

Amid the farewell of the crowd, Li Mu rushed into the sea. With the powerful power of more than 32,000 horsepower produced by four three-seater steam engines and 12 water pipe boilers, they first started cruising at a speed of 15 knots, then slowly accelerated, and drove to a high speed of 22 knots per hour. It was not until the established sea area was approaching an unmanned island and reef that slowed down.

Wang Ji ordered the observer to conduct surveying and mapping. After receiving the data sent back, he soon

"Primary gun is ready!"

"Prepare!"

The fire control system on the battleship was running rapidly, and the computer was busy calculating. The muzzles of the three double-mounted 50-diameter 256mm main guns, two in front and one behind, slowly rose, and spread their fangs towards the opposite target reef.

"emission!"

"put!"

With a series of loud noises, the sky-rushing mist was stirred up near the target reef opposite. After the water mist fell, the target reef was not hit. The observer sent back the information and confirmed it, it was quickly input into the fire control computer. Under the automatic control of the machinery, the gun's muzzle was fine-tuned and the second time it covered the shooting and fire. The roar of the six super main guns made the entire sea surface roar involuntarily!

With another round of nervous expectations, the water waves fell across the water, and the target reef on the water five kilometers away had completely disappeared!

"Oh roar!" The entire battleship was filled with the cheers of the young men's victory!
Chapter completed!
