What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 194 Genius
"A big bowl of pork stew!"

"Wait a moment~"

After a moment, Tang Wen stared into thought at the unusually large amount of pork offal and two poached eggs in the bowl.

If you flip it over with your chopsticks, you can see the braised pig's tail underneath.

He glanced at Panpan's mother, who was tidying up the table beside him, and asked in confusion:
"Pig-killing powder also includes pig tails?"

An Yu smiled:
"Tourists have all sorts of ideas. People who came here before always asked if we had any braised or cold dishes, so I learned a little bit about it."

Your scenic area is supposed to stay open during the winter break, right? I'm thinking of expanding my restaurant and adding more dishes.

From now on, you can come for free; just tell me what you want to eat.

Tang Wen understood; Guo Panpan's shop needed an upgrade, and the tourists' spending power was indeed considerable.

Without a second thought, he was about to eat his noodles when someone patted him on the shoulder. Lu Jun, who was sitting opposite him, looked at his bowl and called out:

"Madam, how much is this bowl of noodles?"

"One dollar and two cents."

"Wow, this is robbery! It's so expensive!"

"They also have three or four cents' worth. Plain noodles are the cheapest."

"One dollar and two cents it is, I want to eat this too!"

Lu Jun also splurged a bit, and while waiting for the powder, he said to Tang Wen with a resentful look:
"Did you see the news? This is so humiliating!"

Seeing the newspaper in his hand, Tang Wen understood.

The official media announcement that allowed the Luzon rescue ship to enter territorial waters and approach the Sierra Madre for resupply is, in effect, a very large act of tolerance.

After all, the Spratly Islands are our own territory, and it is very sensitive to allow other unidentified ships to approach.

In Lu Jun's view, this is not tough at all.

"Why are we so easy to talk to, letting them come as soon as they asked?"

Tang Wen remained silent, letting Lao Lu rant for a long time before the other party changed the subject:

"By the way, once your gearbox and engine factory products are finished, have you decided who to sell them to?"

Tang Wen: "We have a truck factory in Guangxi Province that we cooperate with, and trucks equipped with the new product will be launched soon."

We've also contacted Changhe Automobile Factory; they should be able to secure some orders.

Changhe Automobile Factory's main business is still minivans, but they have always wanted to expand their product line, especially their most profitable sedans.

Currently, domestic car manufacturers rely mainly on imports to develop passenger cars, and Changhe is no exception.

But a few days ago, Wu Long came to our door and promoted the planned small 4AT transmission for automobiles, which gave Changhe some ideas for independent design.

After all, automatic transmissions (AT) are synonymous with high-end in this era, which is a very good selling point in itself.

Having prior experience collaborating on bus projects, Changhe Automobile Factory highly values ​​Gaijin's technical capabilities. However, since they haven't seen the actual product yet, they are waiting for the Dawan factory to be established.

Lu Jun nodded, and then said:
"The province plans to introduce a joint venture factory between Honda and Isuzu, and will establish a joint venture between GAC Group and them. I'm thinking about whether we can secure an independent sub-brand in Echeng, or whether Echeng can create its own car brand."

Tang Wen: "You mean..."

"Isn't a car just four wheels, an engine, and a transmission? All that's left is the shell and seats. If you're going to manufacture the engine and transmission, what's so difficult about putting a shell on it?"

Lu Jun still didn't want to give up vehicle manufacturing. Goose City still had a large foundation. Tang Wen was unwilling, so he pushed the local government to do it.

Tang Wen was silent for a few seconds, then frowned slightly and said:

"You're not planning to mess things up and then leave me to take the fall, are you?"

"How could that be? Director Gao supports this too!" ...

Darian Shipyard.

After the 001 battleship entered the dry dock, the first thing it did was to lift out the No. 3 turret at the stern along with the ammunition hoist.

Fortunately, the shipyards in the north had built large section ships before, so lifting the 2700-ton turret was not too difficult. After being lifted, it was not placed on the shore, but loaded onto a barge.

Tan Qing stood in front of the open turret ring. The super circle with a diameter of 13 meters looked like a deep well, so large that it was breathtaking.

The people from the Third Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering opened their mouths in an "O" shape and tilted their eyebrows as they said:

"This space is so big, it can fit not only the Sea Eagle 3A, but also ballistic missiles. Wow, it's terrifyingly deep."

"Measurement? Measure my ass! I've never designed such a large mechanism before. The width of this well is enough to fit a Type 051 submarine."

Tan Qing pointed to the turret that had been hoisted out: "That's pretty much half of the Type 051 destroyer."

Beside the two, Horikawa Nao, who had changed into a fur coat, was extremely depressed.

After signing a ten-year indenture, he was finally able to gain in-depth access to the No. 001 battleship.

He initially thought that the University of Tokyo had copied the ship's shape, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was a 100% original replica.

No, it's even better than the original. The Yamato was rough in many places due to resource shortages and tight schedules, but this battleship, although based on the original design, has excellent attention to detail.

But he still didn't understand why such a ship would use outdated riveting techniques and a copy of a 45-caliber 18-inch gun.

With modern domestic metallurgical technology, it should be easy to manufacture 60-caliber naval guns.

But he soon realized that the designers at these shipyards were a bunch of clueless idiots who knew nothing about the battleship.

So... where did this Yamato come from? If the University of Tokyo didn't build it, who else could?
However, his withered brain could no longer allow him to think too much. In the limited time available, Horikawa Nao and a group of old men who could still barely work were seriously sorting out the renovation plan.

After releasing the catalog of shipborne equipment that China can currently and will be able to provide in the future, they first carried out a major overhaul of the ship's hull:

Although the Navy remembered Tang Wen's one-year agreement and attached great importance to the construction period, the first phase of the renovation was not too demanding.

However, Horikawa Naoki still hoped to take advantage of the internal renovation of the No. 3 turret to make some adjustments and modifications to the steam turbine.

The Yamato's 150,000 horsepower is too little for a 70,000-ton behemoth; at least 200,000 horsepower would be sufficient.

Not only was Tan Qing dissatisfied, but the original designers also had many grievances, and after the war, they spent their free time thinking about how to enhance and upgrade the game.

Based on existing technology, Horikawa confirmed that the quality of the new Yamato boiler is much better than the original, and with the addition of structural reinforcements, it should be able to reach 17.2 horsepower.

Not much, but it should allow the refitted battleship to barely reach a high speed of 28.5 or 29 knots.

In addition, the lower compartments are also being redesigned and re-partitioned. With the help of modern technology, fewer soldiers are needed, allowing more space for electronic equipment or improved living conditions.

But their most important role was finding ways to balance Tan Qing's overall design scheme.

The first two 460mm turrets will be retained in the first phase of the project, because the reconstruction of the superstructure requires careful attention to the change in the center of gravity, and it will be much easier for the original team to make adjustments.

But what Tan Qing knew was that the "Pioneer" anti-missile giant gun had been put back into service.

According to the information he obtained, after nearly 20 years of progress in the metallurgical industry, modern technology can now support a reduction of more than 15% in the weight of the gun barrel. If the technological limits are taken into account, it is now possible to make a 420 mm 80-caliber gun.

Equipped with a modern automatic loader, the rate of fire can be achieved in about 10 seconds.

Six cannons mean one shot every 1.67 seconds, which is no less efficient than a vertical launch system.

Moreover, Dr. Bull is not the only technical expert in artillery-launched rockets; there is also an even more brilliant aerodynamics scientist in China.

Artillery can provide rockets with extremely high initial velocity, greatly reducing the difficulty of entering space. Artillery-launched rockets for anti-missile purposes or even emergency satellite launches are not far-fetched ideas.

After Lao Zhang instructed Feng Qianjun to exaggerate, an elderly man in his eighties in the capital city seriously studied the matter and proposed to rebuild the "Pioneer" group, intending to continue Dr. Bull's dream.
