After all, it’s hard to say who is superior to whom!

Suppressing his surprise, Lao Jin greeted everyone while drinking and chatting, which made it very lively for a while.

After the food was removed, the four of them came to the side. Yang Xiaotao made a pot of tea and sat together to chat.

"Xiao Tao, I heard from Xiao Wu that the engine you built is very good."

"That's why I came here this time."

Lao Chen put down his cup and got to the point.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Mr. Chen, my uncle told me about this. I also told the machinery factory that as long as there is an order here, I will rush there to make it."

Not to mention the general manager, even the production technology of the first branch factory has matured, and the production of four-cylinder engines is no longer a problem.

Zhang Wu listened and nodded, but Lao Chen shook his head and said, "That's not why I came here this time."

Yang Xiaotao and Lao Jin looked at each other, then looked over suspiciously.

Old Chen picked up the cup and took a sip, and then said, "This swordfish speedboat is good, but the situation we face is different from the ones in the north, so it is okay to use it near the sea, but farther away, we still need a larger boat."

Lao Jin frowned, "Lao Chen, do you want to build a destroyer?"

Yang Xiaotao was also surprised. This destroyer is not something that can be built. With the current domestic technology, if you want to design and then build it, the difficulty is no worse than that of missiles.

Mr. Chen shook his head, "There will be destroyers in the future, but they are not my purpose today."

"I came today for the gunboat."

"gunboat?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at Zhang Wu, who shook his head. He didn't know.

"Yes, the main force of our defense now is the fast gunboat."

"However, after actual combat with our current gunboats, we have discovered many problems, the biggest of which is the imbalance between speed and stability."

With that said, Mr. Chen revealed the purpose of his visit this time.

Nowadays, although most of the gunboats in Shanghai are domestically produced, core components such as engines are still imported.

Moreover, each gunboat uses two twelve-cylinder diesel engines.

However, in actual combat, when speed is pursued, if the two engines are used at high power, the front of the gunboat will tilt up, seriously affecting the shooting accuracy.

Only one engine can be used, which will affect the maneuverability.

Although relevant domestic research departments are redesigning gunboats, this window period is very dangerous.

"I heard about the eight-cylinder diesel engine you built, and I came here to ask how it performs."

Lao Chen said his purpose was an eight-cylinder diesel engine.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao explained the engine's performance data, and Mr. Chen nodded.

"Eight hundred horsepower is quite a lot. Our current gunboats are from the Alliance, and the power is only a little over a thousand. This high-speed form has a too short lifespan, so we don't dare to use it under normal circumstances."

"Besides, now it's a waste of one and one less!"

"It's hard to say anything else about your engines. At least they can be replaced if they break down, so I'm here to see if you can allocate a few of them to us for use!"

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao did not rush to agree, but asked, "Mr. Chen, I personally have no problem with this matter, but this machinery factory does not have the final say alone, and the engine matter is not a trivial matter. It needs to be

Let’s discuss it.”

"However, I will try my best to fight for you!"

"Well, I know that. Just do your best."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then got up and walked to the study.

After a while, Yang Xiaotao dialed Yang Youning's phone number at the machinery factory.

Yang Youning was a little surprised when he received the call, especially when he heard that an engine was needed here. After thinking for a while, he became interested.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Youning said, "I think it will happen."

"There are many paths and there are many directions."

"How do you say that, if there is no light in the east, there will be light in the west. This engine is not good even for armored vehicles and trucks. If it is not good for trucks, wouldn't there be gunboats now?"

"This deal will not be a loss no matter how you calculate it!"

Yang Xiaotao was speechless as he listened, saying that his engine seemed useless.

But since Yang Youning said he agreed, based on his understanding of Liu Huaimin, there should be no problem.

After explaining the situation, Yang Youning was responsible for taking care of the situation in the factory, and then asked Yang Xiaotao when he would return before hanging up the phone.

Returning to the living room, Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Nine times out of ten, there will be no problem."

Lao Chen smiled, and Zhang Wu on the side was also happy.

Because of the engine, they have less time to go out for training, and they have to consider various factors during combat, which greatly increases the risk of combat.

If the engine problem is solved, that would be good news.

"Mr. Chen, if you didn't come this time, I really wouldn't know you were in this business!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and gave Lao Chen some water. Lao Chen waved his hand, "I don't dare to say it because I'm afraid it will be embarrassing."

"There is nothing to be ashamed of. They are all guarding the border for the country and are glorious soldiers."

Yang Xiaotao was puzzled, but Lao Chen shook his head, "You don't understand!"

"The sea, so many people's dreams! So many sailors' dreams!"
