In the evening, in the capital, the US Consulate, a small banquet is being held.

Tian Bei, the Minister of Plenipotentiary in China, held a goblet in his hand and laughed at the guests who came to support him. He returned to a corner that was opened for them alone, and smiled at Shi Mid, the Consul in Tianjin, and said, "It seems that our strange expatriate is very talented in causing trouble."

Shimeide agreed and nodded: "I have to say that he underestimated his courage before. But this is not a bad thing for us, isn't it?"

Bidge often traveled between the Zongli Yamen and the Beiyang Yamen, and was familiar with officials from all over the Qing Dynasty. He frowned slightly and said, "I'm a little worried that if the Chinese discovered our indulgence, they would cause some out of control. You should know that until now, the government and royal family of this ancient country have maintained a high level of vigilance for those who have returned from studying in the United States and do not value it. If the guy who called himself Reinhart and Yang aroused the conservative's rebellious mentality, they would be very likely to be implicated."

From the first batch of young children studying in the United States to the past twenty years, there are quite a few students studying in the United States who are self-paid and public, but they cannot reach a high level and cannot gain political influence. Some people in the United States government hope to use them to influence the situation in the Qing Dynasty and build a group of pro-American forces. This plan cannot be destroyed.

Tian Bei shook his head disapprovingly: "I think his appearance is a good opportunity. You know, China's conservative forces are surprisingly stubborn and do not have enough external influence, so they will not make any major changes. If a strong guy picks it out and disrupts the situation, maybe he can break the deadlock."

"But in that case, excessive turmoil is likely to occur, which is not good news for the UK, which has always needed stability!"

Bidger's brow frowned slightly. He was a little worried about overstimulating the British. After all, in today's world, Britain is the undisputed largest country, and its military, political and cultural influence is unparalleled. Their strategy for the Qing Dynasty was to ensure that this old empire would continue to maintain its existing dominance pattern in such a stubborn, corrupt, and outdated way, becoming the most beautiful sheep in the British Empire, constantly shearing her wool.

Any turmoil will bring about destruction and change, which is what the British hate the most.

Tian Bei smiled meaningfully: "If Britain's energy can be restrained more in the Far East, their influence and control over Europe will be weakened. I think that it is a more favorable situation for America, which is ready to make its own voice. As an envoy in the East, we should try our best to promote him!"

The center of the world is in Europe, and the United States is still regarded as the countryside. Britain strengthens its homeland by plundering the wealth of the world, and has been in a state of chaos between China, Japan and Russia. The purpose is to weaken Russia's threat and reduce its pressure on Europe. Of course, it is even more ideal to drag France and Germany in it.

The United States has now reached the world's largest economy. It is about to seek external expansion but cannot challenge the authority of the British Empire head-on, so it has to look for opportunities and profit from chaos. A stable China that constantly provides cheap raw materials to the United States is not in the interests of the United States.

Nowadays, the United States' exports to the Qing Dynasty are almost unilateral, with no trade balance at all. The majority of the shares were obtained by Britain, and large orders such as arms were occupied by Germany. They cannot monopolize this big cake.

Shimeide blinked and raised his glass: "Then I wish our children can withstand the pressure and make them happier!"

"Ding!" Three wine glasses clinked together, and the clear wine reflects an intoxicating brilliance.

In the following period, senior officials of the entire Qing Empire were swept up by the storm caused by the Japanese spy case, and everyone was desperately taking this opportunity to overwhelm the opponent and seek benefits. The Japanese, caught off guard, were worried and poor at dealing with it. While reporting to the cabinet and the Japanese emperor Mu Ren, urgently discussed countermeasures, while reluctantly spilling money to delay the Qing court's investigation and sanctions on them.

Li Hongzhang took the lead in picking himself out, impeached Zhang Zhidong, and added trouble to his political enemies. Qingliu, the imperial party led by Weng Tonghe, took the opportunity to jump out and attacked the Westernization faction as one, and called on the court to severely punish Japan's rampant behavior. He emphasized that the Beiyang Navy's investment was so large and so many large ships and cannons were not kept beautiful. They should act and launch a fierce attack on Japan to demonstrate.

Now, Li Zhongtang didn't bother to deal with Yang Hao, a sesame-sized figure, and cheered up his spirits and devoted himself to political infighting, but he did not prepare for war against Japan. He always believed that Japan did not have the courage or ability to provoke wars, including Hurd, the General Secretary of Customs and Taxation. Most British people think so, and he has nothing to worry about.

The upper class was in a state of turmoil, and the people in Beijing and Tianjin were also in a mess. Huo Yuanjia beat the German strongman, and the news that Yang Hao said frankly that he angrily scolded the foreigners was beyond recognition. Countless idle people talked about teahouses and restaurants on the streets and alleys, talking about it with relish, and using the seasonings for the current wine. Even some quick-responsive storytellers made this into jokes, which won applause!

However, Yang Hao took advantage of this time to spend money in Tianjin, and the engineering team he built turned the US Concession into a large construction site. The construction was endless day and night, which made the Germans finally unbearable and moved one after another. He formally determined the establishment of the space-time anchor point on Plant B based on one of the relatively spacious houses.

The moment the order was confirmed, Yang Hao could see a huge phantom of the Yanhuang Cauldron hanging high in the air, sprinkling a ray of light covering the entire American concession, proving that his action was successful. Then, he traveled directly to the old house of this world at night.

Yang Hao came out of the mountainside and found that after about ten days, the bottom was beyond recognition! In the middle of the night, there was a area of ​​more than a square kilometer brightly lit, the sound of machines was endless, and there were densely packed houses, covering construction sites, warehouses, training centers, logistics bases, film and television city construction commands and other institutions. It was so lively.

With sufficient capital investment, ready-made design plans are available for reference, and the care and attention of leaders at all levels and above, the construction progress is not ordinary. It is optimistic that the first batch of buildings will be put into use before the New Year.

"It turns out that money can help the gods and create miracles even more!"

Yang Hao sighed and went down the mountain along the path. The area where the old house was located was completely isolated. A small path led directly to the parking lot below, and an iron gate at the exit blocked the road. No one outsider could enter without a key.

I picked up the car, went home to get a haircut, take a shower and change my clothes, and then went online and found that the "Barefoot Master" was actually online! Yang Hao posted a window trembling and asked, "Fatty, how are the progress?"

Fatty Liu immediately came back with a contempt expression: "You still know how to care about progress! I have never seen you as a boss like this, and you have not seen anyone for more than ten days. You are not afraid that we will throw the money into you and will hurt you so much!"

Yang Haozi smiled: "Don't we believe in your integrity? It seems that it's okay?"

Fatty Liu: "What are you talking about! With this master taking action personally, there are also a large group of big bulls at the level of the ancestors. Isn't that easy to get such a little thing? Don't talk nonsense, just show you the progress table."

A document was smashed, and Yang Hao opened it and looked at it, and his spirit was immediately cheered up!

The progress of the steam gunboat project was beyond his imagination!

Since Fatty Liu brought several retired engineers to Langya and officially established the project department, in just one week, they jointly took out sectional design drawings of 200 tons of steam gunboats, and determined the supply of steel and parts by the Equipment Department, Power Department and Supply Center.

There is no time to purchase diesel engines and other off-the-shelf shipyards, but steam engines and naval gun manufacturing is a problem. In this regard, the project team proposed to establish an advanced steam waste heat power generation research room, and jointly with Langya Steel, many cement plants, oil refining and chemical companies to study low-temperature waste heat power generation steam turbines that adapt to multiple environments and multi-stage power.

Langya Steel itself is demonstrating its converter steam waste heat power generation project, two 7.5mw low-temperature steam generator sets, responding to energy conservation and emission reduction, and cyclic efficiency improvement. The preliminary preparations have been completed and are about to be put into formal construction.

However, the old experts in the project team believe that based on this, combined with Jiangnan Heavy Industry's years of steam engine and boiler research and development and production experience, it can be expanded to cement, chemical industry, oil refining, even biogas, garbage incineration, straw, etc., which can only produce flue gas temperatures around 100-300 degrees, and achieve the purpose of power generation through organic working fluid circulation.

According to current data, 18% of the power generation efficiency can be obtained by recycling waste heat of 200 degrees; 25% can be obtained by recycling waste heat of 300 degrees. The current steam boiler output saturated steam temperature is around 320 degrees, which can be improved on this basis.

The proposal was reported to Yang Haixin and was approved immediately. Because the plan meets the needs of domestic emission reduction and efficiency enhancement, garbage disposal, biopower generation and other market prospects, and meets the requirements of low-power combustion power generation in the B plane. According to the concept, this power generation system is not only simple and efficient, but also can be quickly started and stopped and flexibly installed, and does not require special high-ignition power generation coal, which is the most practical.

It can be said that as long as the research is successful, there is no need to worry about the lack of market. If you can't sell it in this world, you can sell as much as the plane B.

Yang Hao thought that it was a waste of trouble now. He could not guarantee the steam warships that were officially built later. We should not build any three-inflated steam engines, just steam turbines. Then he immediately discovered that Fatty Liu was actually carrying private goods in the design, and he really made a small gunboat powered by the steam turbine inside!

Yang Hao, who has read a lot of information from the boat, is definitely familiar with it. It is the size that is not much the same as the one at the moment. It has appeared in the movie. The true and false is doubtful!

Its body size is 48.0 meters long, 7.2 meters wide, 2 meters draft, and a 300-ton radius, but it is a little enlarged, but the power system uses a steam turbine and two diesel engines, achieving a speed of up to 45 knots! However, this design exceeds the domestic production capacity of the 1970s and can only become a legend. In conjunction with Fatty Liu, he is determined to get it to his side to get what he wants!
Chapter completed!
