There are two key factors that are willing to share the patent and production authorization of "sulfonamide" with the UK. First, with the scientific research system and technical foundation of the European powers, it will take at most ten or twenty years to develop the sulfonamide. Although during this period, Yi Zhongming and Zhong Yang were able to make a lot of profits.

But why bother offending people everywhere? In essence, the great powers are all stingy and merciless. If they don’t give them any benefits, they are equivalent to conquering them. Anyway, they are not a magic pill, so why bother provoking these profit-oriented capitalists?

The second point is the key. Zhong Yang wants to develop the navy. It is not a broken warship with ironclad ship structure, but a battleship with a real all-steel hull. The shipbuilding plan is really not going well. With the strength of Tianyu Group and the Seventh Research Institute under the Guwen Society, it is okay to build ironclad ships.

This transaction includes the desire to obtain the support of the UK in ship technology, and the transaction between Zhong Yang and Smith also includes this aspect. Zhong Yang is very confident about this offer. He thought the British would not take it seriously if he had a mere battleship technology with a displacement of 6,000 tons.

Since 1892, the British built the world's first battleship with all-steel hulls - the "Jun Quan", which has become a model for the design of battleships in various countries.

It uses four dual main guns, each equipped with a turret in the front and rear, which strengthens the number of secondary gun groups and the distribution of firing angles, and can concentrate all firepower on the sidewalk, and the name of the battleship is restored.

Since then, battleships generally used steel hulls, with a full load displacement of 12,000 tons, a main gun caliber using spiral rifle reaches 300 to 350 mm, a thickness of hull protective armor reaches 230 to 450 mm, and a speed of 16 to 18 knots. At this time, the power of naval guns, armor protection, speed and displacement have become recognized by all countries in the construction of battleships.

At that time, the tonnage of the battleships reached more than 10,000 tons. Compared with the seven strongest super battleships of the great powers, the "small toys" of 6,000 tons are simply nothing. You should know that the tonnage of the "Seven Giants" of the Navy is generally more than 32,000 tons.

Therefore, Zhong Yang was not worried about the attitude of the great powers towards this matter. As long as there is a benefit and does not pose a threat to the other party's interests, the transaction is likely to be reached. Smith had already agreed to do his best for this matter at that time. If it doesn't work, then go to the Americans to cooperate.

The United States of America is famously jealous of money at present. It sells whatever is valuable and whoever can afford it will sell it to whoever it can afford it.

The reason why he wanted to obtain battleship technology was not to create such a big and useless iron lump, but to accumulate technology first and make preliminary preparations for future naval development. Zhong Yang's real goal was to focus on destroyer technology with a displacement of 6,000 tons.

The production technology of integrated circuits has already come into play. The research on missiles has long been completed in smart factories. They even spent the authority value to make the finished product. If it weren't for the high price and the consumption of a large amount of authority value, Zhong Yang would have wanted to carry out mass production.

This missile destroyer and the Fearless Class battleship that uses missiles to attack are what Zhong Yang hopes for. There are also some aircraft carriers behind, and the technology of these surface ships must be supported by the British. Although German technicians have also brought similar ship technologies, it is not harmful to look at them more.

Speaking of shipbuilding technology, Zhong Yang still trusts the British more. After all, he has been a maritime overlord for centuries, so he still has this confidence. Not only warship technology, but also naval training requires British help. This is a bit unreliable to cooperate with the Germans.

Today, the New Fourth Army also has five ironclad ships with a displacement of about 3,500 tons. It can only be responsible for offshore operations and defensive tasks, and cannot give enough deterrence to the enemy. However, there is no hurry at the moment, because the main opponent is only the ** Party.

The relevant design work began as early as 1922, and it was not until two years later that the available blueprints were completed. Of course, Zhong Yang could also provide specific production processes, but building warships is completely different from producing small commodities. This is not something that can be done by using production lines and technology.

Professional technical workers need systematic training, and a complete battleship R&D team also requires time to cultivate. Before everything is ready, Guwenhui really needs a group of advanced battleships as the basis for escort force.

The British can help a lot in the construction of the navy. Zhong Yang did not want to miss this opportunity. Taking advantage of the just-rise "sulfonamide" trend, cooperated with Smith and the British official. There is no problem in the specific implementation of this.

As long as Tianyu Group does not build large surface ships of more than 10,000 tons, it will not arouse hostility from foreign naval powers. Because in their eyes, there is no super battleship of more than 30,000 tons, which is not a threat at all. This is indeed the case before the missile appears.

It’s not that the other party is stupid, it’s a technical backwardness that leads to a cognitive gap.

Referring to the naval development model of major powers in later generations, the importance of destroyers is self-evident. It is a multi-purpose warship. Since the 1890s, destroyers have been one of the important types of ships in the navy.

In the future, medium-sized warships with missiles, torpedoes, naval guns, etc. as their main weapons and have a variety of combat capabilities have been developed. They have become one of the types of ships with strong assault power in the naval fleet, used to attack submarines and surface ships, fleet air defense, as well as escort, reconnaissance and patrol alerts, mine laying, attacking targets on the shore, etc. It is the most widely used and most numerous ships among modern naval ships.

Although now, the navies of various countries are still focusing their main attention on super-large battleships, and are still thinking about increasing tonnage, expanding the caliber of the main gun and thickening the armor strength.

With a different gaze from this era, Zhong Yang has seen the huge advantages of medium-sized surface ships. They are maneuverable and flexible, affordable, and with various anti-ship missiles, their power is definitely above the old-fashioned large-caliber artillery warships. You must know that when the distance exceeds the sea, it will be difficult to aim at the target with the naked eye.

No matter how large the caliber of the gun is or how amazing the power is, it is useless if it cannot hit. No matter how far the range is, it always depends on human vision and experience to aim. With this condition, it would be a joke to compete with missiles.

As a medium-sized surface ship equipped with air, sea, submarine and other weapons, it is a medium-sized surface ship with various combat capabilities. Its displacement is between 2,000 and 10,000 tons, and its speed is about 28-38 knots, which is about 1.852 kilometers per hour.

In Zhong Yang's vision, he needed destroyers to be able to perform combat tasks such as air defense, anti-submarine, anti-ship, ground attack, escort, reconnaissance, patrol, alert, mine laying, fire support, and attacking targets on the shore. This type of warship of "maritime all-rounder" meets the needs of future wars.

He could look down on the Japanese army, but the strength of Japan's naval is still amazing. If it is not present, be prepared. When the Sino-Japanese War breaks out in full swing, it will be too late. Taking advantage of the harmonious relationship with the British today, we must also get some basic shipbuilding technology and put on the air first.

Speaking of origin, the earliest destroyers had their main function in destroying lightning strike ships - warships that rely on launching torpedoes to attack surface ships.

In the 1870s, a torpedo boat that specializes in launching torpedoes could destroy large warships. It is worth noting that this torpedo boat is different from later torpedo speedboats. It has a relatively large ship type and a low speed, so it is more appropriate to translate it as a "lightning strike ship".

For this powerful small ship, the United Kingdom built the Havok, a warship called the "torpedo boat destroyer" in 1893. It has a speed of 26 knots, equipped with a 76mm cannon and 3 47mm cannons, which can capture torpedo boats at sea without any difficulty, carry 3 450mm torpedoes, and use them to attack enemy ships. The same type of warship developed by the German Navy is called large torpedo boats.

As more destroyers entered service in the navies of various countries, destroyers began to install heavier artillery and larger caliber torpedo tubes, and used steam turbines as power. British river-class destroyers have developed into escort ships that accompany the main fleet.

In 1905, British tribal class destroyers began to use fuel as fuel. Destroyers used in formations have become the main assault force of the naval fleet. While attacking enemy torpedo ships, they also have to carry out torpedo attacks on enemy fleets.

After that, the destroyers came out and became a specific family of warships. Their characteristics can be summarized as: standard displacement of 1000-1300 tons, speed of 30-37 knots, mostly fuel-based steam turbine power units, equipped with 88-102 mm naval guns and 450-533 mm torpedo launchers 2-3 seats.

In fact, in essence, destroyers are a large torpedo boat. Through the fire of World War I, destroyers replaced torpedo boats and became the main force of a sea torpedo attack, "destroying" the torpedo boats in an existence sense.

Compared to the broken iron-clad ships led by Sun Yixian, Zhong Yang appreciates this high-quality surface ship with broad development prospects. The British can be said to be very experienced in the construction technology of destroyers, and there is no need to discuss the training of the navy. After all, Germany is just a traditional landlocked country and has always lacked in the development of the navy.

In the Pacific Ocean, China's strongest opponent is Japan, one of the top naval powers. Although its surface ships were strictly limited in number due to the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty, the Japanese Navy has not given up on its measures to strengthen its own strength.

With the support of senior government officials, the Japanese naval industry operated efficiently and produced Japan's special destroyer - the Fuyuki-class destroyer and its improved models, becoming a typical representative of destroyers at this stage.

In 1922, according to the provisions of the treaty, the ratio of the Japanese and American main ships was 3:5, and at this time, Japan's imaginary enemy was the United States. If the two countries go to war, it is a certain fact that the Japanese naval main ships are at a disadvantage. According to the Lanchester equation, to win with a 6:10 number of warships, first of all, light surface ships must be dispatched before the decisive battle to greatly weaken the strength of the US fleet.

If the US is in an offensive state in terms of combat mode, it is necessary to use small ships to gradually weaken them before the main fleets of both sides are fighting. Fleet destroyers with large range, better airworthiness and strong torpedo attack capabilities are very suitable for this task.

The Japanese Navy conducted a special discussion on this issue and concluded that the Peak Feng class and its improved Kamibo-class destroyers built after the end of World War I could not complete such a task. Therefore, the Japanese Navy attached great importance to the construction of fleet destroyers and adopted a policy of quality advantage, striving to make up for the quantity disadvantages with quality advantages.

In 1922, the Japanese Navy Command held a meeting on the specifications of destroyers under the Washington Naval Treaty, and soon reached the following conclusions for the new destroyers to be ordered: it has strong torpedo attack capabilities, a maximum speed of 40 knots; it has good airworthiness; and reduces tonnage and volume under the above premise.

The Japanese Navy has always been unhappy with the 533mm caliber torpedo attack capabilities used by the two types of destroyers built after World War I. The Mutsuki-class destroyer, which started construction in 1923, was equipped with the largest 610mm caliber torpedo at that time.

In 1924, the Military Command formally proposed the specific standards for ideal destroyers. Naval guns use 4 127mm caliber main guns, 45 degrees elevation angle, and 1 76mm caliber anti-aircraft gun. In terms of torpedoes, three triple 610mm caliber torpedo tubes are used, and 18 mines are equipped with No. 1 mine, deep bomb projector, sonar, and mine sweeper.

The displacement is about 1,900 tons. The maximum speed is 39 knots when maintaining 2/3 of the fuel. The endurance is 14 knots every 4,500 nautical miles, full load, and if necessary, the reserve fuel can reach 5,000 nautical miles.

Not only did the United States face huge pressure, but Zhong Yang was also deeply worried. With the character characteristics of the Yamato nation, Japan, which is strong, is not in line with China's interests. Since ancient times, two powerful nations have approached each other and never had peace.

It can even be said that Japan is the biggest enemy of ancient Chinese. It is just a war of interests with the United States or the entire Europe, not a life-and-death civilisation of Eastern and Western civilizations. The current Western powers do not have much understanding of this kind of cultural matter and are still only on the superficial surface.

The ancient Chinese Society must hold the orthodox concept of China. What we really need to deal with is Japan because the other party has always regarded itself as a small Chinese. This idea of ​​stealing civilized orthodox is the mortal enemy of the ancient Chinese Society. The two sides have no room for reconciliation, so Zhong Yang never wanted to compromise with this nation. Only war can end their disputes.

In order to strengthen his naval strength and respond to the maritime threats from the ** Party and even from Japan, Zhong Yang has already made a comprehensive plan. The construction plan for the ironclad ship has ended, and the first batch of independently designed all-steel battleships of 3,000 tons have begun construction and are expected to be launched in August.

The reason why Zhong Yang spent 50,000 yuan in authority value and used the powerful capabilities of the smart factory to create a batch of large-scale forging tools. In this regard, it also relies on the valuable experience provided by a group of technicians from the Seventh Institute.

After all, even if you want to use a smart factory, you cannot obtain technology that you don’t have out of thin air, so that professionals need to carry out scientific research.

The first phase of the project aims to build five destroyers with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons as the main combat force. Three of them will be completed in August this year, and the remaining two will also be launched for trial voyages in November.

Not only was it built independently, Zhong Yang also planned to order five battleships with a displacement of about 5,000 tons from the UK as the current main battleship support of the Navy. With the current economic situation in the UK, even Congress must consider the interests of shipbuilding companies. This is not just to obtain a warship.

No matter what the price is paid, Zhong Yang also wants to rule out some young technicians going to the UK to study and further study. In the specific construction work, we will absorb the other party's work experience to improve our professional knowledge. As long as Zhong Yang is willing to pay and acts in a low position, he is not worried that the other party will disagree.

Ten kilometers away from the first industrial zone opened by Tianyu Group, there is a new science and technology park newly opened a few years ago. This science and technology park covers an area of ​​up to 35,000 acres and occupies most of the flat land here.

Anyway, most of these lands are saline-alkali land and cannot grow crops. I don’t know that many people are secretly happy about Tianyu Group being able to open a new economic area here. Some residents next to them have long been happy about purchasing a large amount of vegetables and poultry. With so many staff members, they also have to eat and drink here, right?

In a four-story building in this new building with the plaque of the Fourth Research Institute written on it, Xu Yongsheng was discussing something with a researcher here.

"Director, small diodes and transistors have met the conditions for mass production, and the production preparations for capacitors and other electronic components have also been completed. According to the previous plan, the medium-distance distance weighs ten kilograms and the communication distance reaches 10 to 20 kilometers, will the medium-distance production begin?" A middle-aged man wearing glasses reported to Xu Yongsheng with a notebook.

“How much can the monthly output be achieved?”

"At present, the product is relatively single, and it can only be produced on a small scale. The director has the strength of this electronic product. It is currently selling some low-level electrical products such as radios, various lighting and switches. If the foundation has not continuously injected funds to maintain it, I really don't know how we can continue so many projects here."

The man in glasses said a little uneasy. The technology engaged in the Fourth Institute mainly involves mechanical structure and electronic control. At present, there is great progress in research on mechanical structure, but electronic technology has not yet achieved results. How can he feel at ease?

"You don't need to worry about this. The attitude above is clear. No matter how much money you spend, you have to make integrated circuit technology. Our research institute's work must also be stepped up." Xu Yongsheng knew what was worried about in the person in front of him.

In recent years, the "Zhenhua Foundation" controlled by the Guwenwen Club has invested 5.8 million yuan in funds to the Fourth Institute, which is studying electronic products. If Xu Yongsheng had not had a certain status in the Guwenwen Club, many people would have proposed to cancel this department that deals with the ever-mysterious electronic contact department.

Electronic products are still a very cutting-edge technology at present, and even abroad are just starting out. In another ten years, these epoch-making products will surely change the model and process of war. Therefore, no matter how much time and money is spent, Zhong Yang will spare no effort to support the development of this industry.

With such a promise, Xu Yongsheng naturally had enough confidence. When he thought of the integrated circuit research plan related to the future direction of the world, he felt a sense of pride and soared into the sky.

Here is the open gathering place on the ground of the nine major research institutes. Not only is there a large number of New Fourth Army ground troops around, but also landing soldiers patrolling day and night in the core area. No one can come uninvited.

After layers of inspection, Xu Yongsheng and the middle-aged man came to a one-way walkway room on the other side of the building.

After the final inspection, they entered a room of about 200 square meters together. As soon as they entered the door, Xu Yongsheng obviously felt a strange airflow surrounding his side. Especially on the scalp, it seemed that the strange airflow was erected.

However, this is not the first time I have been here, so Xu Yongsheng doesn't care. The feeling brought by the electron current and electromagnetic fields when a large number of electronic devices are working is actually not uncomfortable after getting used to it.

"Sir, here we have used a total of 120,000 electronic tubes, 30,000 resistors, 12,000 capacitors and 6,000 switches. There are also five new large air conditioners specially produced to cool it down here, otherwise the temperature generated by these electronic components alone can turn us into roast duck."

At this time, the middle-aged man with glasses looked very excited, and his words also showed a relaxed and confident expression. This large electronic computer was created by imitating the principles of computer systems in the smart factory. Although it is huge in size, its functions are still very weak.

But no matter how you say it is your own product, a powerful technology that will profoundly influence the development trend of the world

"How is the calculation degree?"

"We are currently using it to cooperate with the Underworld to analyze the code deciphering."

“How is the effect?”

"It's great, it should be said that it's great. With its help, it not only greatly reduces the work intensity of the password crackers, but also speeds up the progress of deciphering a lot."

It turns out that the Ministry of Electronic Science and Technology of the Fourth Research Institute, which cooperated with Zhou Hua to crack the secret security operations against Hongmen and the ** Party, was the Ministry of Electronic Science and Technology of this Fourth Institute. This was also the first time that humans have used electronic computers in actual use, 20 years earlier than the West. Don’t underestimate this period of time, it will be a gap that the other party can never cross.

Zhong Yang's basic strategic concept has been laid out, and it is time to clear the conflicts with the ** Party. As long as the three navy destroyers and warships are launched, it will be the time to unify Guangdong and Guangxi...
