"It's really a good thing! The power of this diesel engine should be much greater than the steam engine installed on the majestic class, right?" Chen Yixin kept staring at the waves caused by the propeller on the sea, and asked Beks enviously.
Beks nodded and said, "The design power is nearly half that of the Nanhai C-type steam engine used in the majestic class. This ship is equipped with two sets, which can easily increase the speed to more than fifteen knots."
Chen Yixin asked: "Is this thing mass-produced? When can I arrange dozens of units here?"
"Dozens of units? Even arranging only a few units is difficult!" Beks smiled wryly: "At present, it can only be said that it has been finalized, but there is still a long way to go before mass production. The processing technology is not perfect, the production cycle is long, the service life is short, and the operation The reliability rate is not enough, the maintenance is inconvenient, and there are still a lot of areas for improvement. Moreover, this thing burns diesel, which means that it depends much more on the supply point than the steam power system, and it is difficult to popularize it in a short time .”
Chen Yixin smiled and said: "If this is not the case, the Ministry of Industry will provide several diesel engines and installation plans, and I will pay to build a few new ships, which will be regarded as experiments for new engines. At that time, the Ministry of Industry can also collect usage data and use to improve the process."
Bex stared and said: "You really know how to calculate! This thing is not so useful in the north, especially in winter, it will be very difficult to start."
Chen Yixin said: "Since this is the case, it is even more necessary to increase experiments in the northern region. This thing has been made for so many years, so it can't just be used in the south all the time?"
Diesel engines are actually nothing new to Haihan. More than ten years ago, Yu Feng from the First Machinery Factory led a group of people to build a prototype. heated discussion.
In the following years, on the basis of this, the Ministry of Industry successively produced diesel generators, diesel vehicles, diesel tractors and other equipment, of course, models that were also used on ships.
But at the same time, the manufacturing precision of diesel engine parts and the difficulty of maintenance far exceed that of steam engines. In addition, special fuels are required, so the cost of manufacturing and use has always been high, which is also far more than that of steam engines. engine, which greatly increases the difficulty of promoting diesel engines in various fields.
Although the diesel engine was manufactured, it has not been widely used in the following ten years, and only some official organizations can use this type of equipment regardless of the cost.This, in turn, has led to limited research and development costs for related projects, and the upgrade of manufacturing technology has therefore slowed down.
The main user of marine engines is of course the navy, but after weighing the overall cost and reliability of use, the Ministry of National Defense does not want to replace a large area of diesel engines on new ships under construction. Convenient steam power system.Steam power systems will remain the Navy's first choice until the cost of producing and operating diesel engines falls significantly.
It is even more impossible for civilian ships to use such high-cost power systems.For merchants, most of the goods delivered by sea do not have strong timeliness requirements. The benefits brought by the use of engines to greatly increase the speed of the ship may not be able to make up for the increased operating costs.
At present, there are only a few powerful shipping companies and maritime merchants who have begun to try to install steam power systems on newly built large sailing ships to run some relatively fixed long-distance routes with stable cargo volume.
Bai Kesi thinks that this is because the northern region is too remote. Before that, Chen Yixin did not send anyone to participate in the sea trial organized by the Ministry of National Defense. He didn't know much about marine diesel engines, so he thought it was a sweet bun. .
But he will soon discover that Chen Yixin's interest in diesel engines is not just for naval ships.
With the support of advanced power equipment, the ship dropped the other two escorting warships at an extremely fast speed, and sailed from Zhifu Port to Penglai Port outside Dengzhou City in just half a day.
The two diesel engines on board performed well during this period and did not experience any failures. This also greatly increased Chen Yixin's confidence in them, and once again mentioned the proposal to introduce diesel engines to the Northern Fleet to Beks.
The Penglai Port currently used by Dengzhou City is actually the Shuicheng Military Port where the Dengzhou Navy was stationed in the past.However, the establishment of the Dengzhou navy had already existed in name only during the Denglai Rebellion, and after Haihan entered Fushan County, there would be no chance of its revival.
After the Qing army invaded Shandong in 1639, Haihan took advantage of the situation and began to openly take over the Dengzhou area from Daming.Although Daming still maintains its rule in Dengzhou City and a few counties and counties, in fact, there is no way to deal with Haihan's expansion measures from cannibalization to annexation. It can only watch the situation worsen step by step.
By around 1645, the northern region no longer recognized the legitimacy of the government agencies established by Daming in Dengzhou, and required the agencies headed by the Dengzhou government to hand over household registration and field records and other materials to Haihan, and to withdraw from the Dengzhou area within a limited time. Otherwise, forceful measures will be taken to achieve the goal.
After three years of intermittent delays, the Ming Dynasty no longer had an organized armed force in this area, only a small number of armed servants belonging to local officials, and they were not a single enemy of the Haihan army at all.Daming realized that it was impossible to regain the Shandong area that had been occupied by the Haihan faction, and the two sides finally reached a peace agreement through lengthy negotiations.
In the form of "trusteeship", Daming handed over the governance of the two states of Denglai to Haihan and evacuated all official personnel belonging to Daming.So far, Haihan has won control of the entire Jiaodong Peninsula almost without bloodshed.
At this time, the government of the northern region has been set in Jinzhou, and the core area of Shandong is the emerging seaport city centered on Majiazhuang and Zhifu Port. Chen Yixin has no interest in revitalizing Dengzhou, so here is planning After returning to Haihan, there is no major change in appearance, almost maintaining the original appearance.
Everyone landed from Shuicheng, passed through the Zhenyang Gate on the south side, and saw the adjacent Dengzhou City.
There is still a moat between Shuicheng and Dengzhou City. Chen Yixin introduced to Bai Kesi and Bai Letong as he walked: "During the Denglai Rebellion, the rebels led by Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde broke out of Dengzhou from here, engulfing The navy fled to Liaodong and surrendered to Houjin. After this battle, Shandong’s vitality was severely injured, and it was no longer able to support the Ming army’s anti-golden battle in Liaodong Peninsula. Look at the city wall here, the damage and bomb craters on it are from the fierce battle at that time left traces."
Bai Letong walked closer, and sure enough, the city walls were full of incomplete wars, and the big craters were as big as washbasins.Thinking back to the fierce battle situation back then, Bai Letong also truly experienced the profound sense of history that words cannot express.
