Chapter 349349Overtime production
"Yes! Master!" Leo lowered his head: "There is one more thing. Taking Dandelion's path, and taking Sophia's bright path, the people who have been installed inside Cyric have begun to play their role."
He mentioned the production of two weapons: "The other party has recently been focusing on improving its production line and is producing the Cyric 1 rifles we provided to them. In addition, the Cyric 1 pistol has also begun mass production."
“If you give them things that are natural to them and they won’t do them, then they are not worthy of continuing to exist.” Tang Mo sneered.
In fact, Tang Mo gave more to Sophia than to other directors of Cyric. It's just that these secret help have not yet exerted their true power.
When Sophia is more prepared and begins to make these technologies truly effective, she will become Cyric's savior. At that time, Datang Group's Cyric subsidiary will be truly successful.
Leo Ao bowed slightly and continued Tang Mo's words: "They are changing the uniforms of their private army, and I believe they will soon equip many countries they control."
"This is a matter of course. After all, the Cyric Type 1 pistol is still very useful, isn't it?" Tang Mo continued to nod, smiling even happier: "That is, when they meet Thomson, don't be surprised. good."
…
“Tell me, will I die this time...” Standing on the long runway, an engineer looked at the huge machine in front of him with a pale face, feeling a little nervous.
"If you are really afraid, let me do this!" Another engineer standing next to him said with disgust and disdain.
"Then you just took my 10 gold coins and gave up your position to me..." the frightened engineer said dissatisfied.
The engineer, who had some regrets after taking the money, decided to reverse his mistake: "If you regret it, take the money back!"
He now felt that it was indeed a bit cheap to sell his opportunity to take the first experimental flight in the history of the world for 10 gold coins.
Sure enough, the engineer who saw his colleague regretting but feeling less regretful himself waved his hand: "I don't regret it, I just think... this thing doesn't look... so, so safe..."
This aircraft was actually modified from an old World War I bomber, because Tang Mo needed to save his time.
Although he cannot take this backward and unsafe plane to and from Bunas and Long Island, it is obviously more convenient to transport some important documents and some physical objects that need to be transported quickly by plane.
As for some important personnel, it is naturally faster to transport them by plane, so this manned experiment was carried out.
Before this manned experiment, this modified transport aircraft had already flown twice, once without a load and once with a full load of ballast weights.
The two test flights were very successful, so this time an experimental internal test flight was carried out. 10 engineers will take this plane and take off from a secret airport near Longcheng to Weigang.
Although the distance is not very far, it is indeed a great feat.
The engineer who betrayed his first flight experience said with a look of resentment: "I have already said, if you think this thing is unreliable, you can let me come."
“Do you regret giving me this opportunity?” The engineer who bought the opportunity but was a little afraid to try still asked nervously.
"Yes, I regret it!" Finally, the engineer who sold the flight opportunity broke through and admitted that he regretted it: "I'll pay you back... okay?"
“But, but I feel that this is a great moment, I, I should be such a person.” The engineer who did not dare to get on the plane became a little more determined...
“Then shut your mouth!” The engineer who desperately sold the opportunity sounded full of resentment.
“But I’m very nervous! Can this thing really fly?” The engineer who didn’t dare to get on the plane kept chattering.
The engineer who sold the opportunity covered his face and shouted helplessly at the top of his lungs: "Hell!"
In fact, this is just the instinctive timidity that humans have when they face flying for the first time. To ensure safety, three engines were installed on the aircraft.
One is mounted on the back of the aircraft, directly above the pilot. The other two engines are mounted symmetrically on both sides, sandwiched between the wings.
The two pilots can control the aircraft independently, and there is another backup pilot on the aircraft who can continue to fly the aircraft when the two pilots have a problem.
The reason why it is designed in this way is to ensure the absolute safety of this aircraft. It can be said to be the aircraft with the best safety performance at this stage.
Skydiving is still a very dangerous escape method for ordinary people without strict training, so this plane can make an emergency landing if necessary.
Because the speed of airplanes in this era is very slow, emergency landing is a very safe means of escape. The actual speed of this aircraft is only 160 kilometers per hour, which is actually very slow. At such a slow speed, making an emergency landing is probably the same as driving a car and hitting a roadblock - as long as you wear your seat belt, your survival rate is quite high.
Soon, even if reluctantly, these engineers dedicated their lives to their great cause. They walked into the crowded fuselage and fastened their seat belts with the help of their colleagues.
The plane took off quickly, gliding on the long runway with great grace. With the turbulence of the airflow, its wheels left the ground and the entire fuselage began to float in the air.
The people on the plane then felt the convenience brought by the aviation revolution. It took them less than an hour to arrive at Weigang and landed at the experimental temporary airport in Weigang.
They finally felt how huge the potential of the machine they had created was, and its emergence was enough to change the entire world!
…
At Longcheng's steel plant, a huge metal frame has been produced and will be transported to Longgang Shipyard this afternoon.
This huge steel structure has a super huge circular base - yes, it is the steel frame structure of a turret.
Around this structure, a steel shell will be fixed, and then on top of this shell, thick armored steel plates will be installed.
Due to the extensive use of riveted structures, the weight of this turret is surprisingly large. It is driven entirely by electricity and can rotate quickly to quickly point two 305mm heavy cannons at the target.
Within this structure, there is a semi-automatic loading mechanism that extends all the way down to the ammunition depot inside the ship's hull. It can transport shells from below the deck to the interior of the turret and then load them into the gun.
This system greatly increases the rate of fire of artillery, ensuring that these 305mm heavy artillery with astonishingly large caliber can fire at a tolerable speed until it hits the target.
Tamaki-class battleships have five turrets, all of which are classic twin-mounted designs. They all use 305 mm caliber main guns. The whole ship has a total of 10 main guns. Its two sides can ensure maximum firepower, and can allow 8 main guns to fire to the sides at the same time. There are 6 main guns on the front and rear, and it also has powerful attack capabilities.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is no warship in the world that can face such terrifying firepower, and at the same time, no warship can threaten its armored defense with a thickness of up to 280 mm.
It is an invincible existence, at least until the next generation of warships are put into service, they will be invincible!
Because of the use of a brand-new power source, even though this super battleship with a total displacement of nearly 17,000 tons has an armor weight of more than 5,000 tons, it can still run at a top speed of 41 kilometers per hour.
This is no joke, this means that it can even keep up with the Wolf-class cruiser, at least to catch up with it over a short distance.
This also means that it can basically catch up with any ship in the world and tear the opponent apart with its terrifying firepower.
"The third one! There are two more... I can finally take a break." After rubbing his shoulders, the chief engineer responsible for manufacturing the Tamaki-class battleship turret let out a sigh of relief.
“Yes, I can rest for two days.” The colleague standing next to him also sighed with emotion. These days, in order to ensure the production progress, they have been working overtime day and night, and they are really tired.
This is not an intensive overtime work of 8 hours a day and 2 hours extra. That’s a 10-hour day, plus 3 hours of overtime!
There are no labor laws or workers’ rights in the world today. Tang Mo is already considered a good capitalist, because there are even more extreme ones!
Nowadays, the common working hours are 12 hours! Almost all walks of life! If you roll it up, it's not uncommon to work 14 hours a day.
This does not include overtime pay! A boss like Tang Mo who is only allowed to work 10 hours a day and gives extra money if he works overtime is a conscience...
“Are you thinking too much?” Parker came over with a stack of documents and said in the noisy workshop.
“Isn’t it right? Working overtime again?” Several engineers were shocked.
"Work overtime! But this time, the time is tight and the tasks are heavy... Mr. Tang means...three times the salary! If you don't want to, you can change someone." Parker consoled him very considerately.
“Haha! You’re kidding! I don’t need a rest at all, okay?” When it comes to money, these people don’t seem to be sleepy anymore.
One by one, they showed off their muscles energetically: "That's right! We don't need to rest at all!"
“Then you were complaining just now?” Parker exposed them with a wicked smile.
“What we mean is... we work so hard, we get tired easily, so... we have to pay more!” The workers, engineers and technicians all laughed.
