Chapter 588 (1/2)
The next day, accompanied by Dahe, stone bear and hard bone quietly arrived at Norfolk shipyard, two kilometers away from Norfolk city.
This shipyard does not occupy a large area. After all, it is only an experimental shipyard.
Of course, enough space has been reserved around the shipyard. Once the shipyard can make breakthrough progress, the small shipyard can be expanded many times at any time.
In fact, this shipyard is not only a shipyard, but also a comprehensive processing base similar to that of Daqingshan base.
Here, there are not only dry docks for shipbuilding, but also many other supporting workshops. For example, the steel smelting workshop, for example, the machining workshop, for example, the ”precision” casting and processing workshop
So many workshops are concentrated in this small area, which makes it a bit messy and noisy. In addition, those steel-making blast furnaces and coke ovens are constantly emitting black smoke, which makes it more chaotic.
However, the scene here is very gratifying for Shi Xiong, because even he can feel a strong sense of industrialization from this busy but orderly factory.
This is the scene of stone bear's dream.
Although this so-called industrialization can not be compared with any other self-employed machining enterprises in the future, in this era, it represents the arrival of real industrialization.
Stone bear doesn't know what the factory on the other side of the European continent looked like at this time, but stone bear knows that this factory, which was abruptly provided by the power of the whole tribe, has already possessed the industrial capacity of the middle and late 19th century in the original historical time and space.
It seems that the shipyard or industrial base is not as big as Daqingshan base and Shangjing base, but Shi Xiong knows that the technology gathered in this industrial base is far more than Daqingshan base and Shangjing base.
In addition, the most elite scientific research teams under Shi Xiong are gathered here, including Jack Williams, who is proficient in mechanical manufacturing, and David adian, who is proficient in metal smelting, two of the first four King Kong, who have been here all the time.
Besides, Adrian Carlos, a Spanish shipbuilding engineer who was dug up by the Fernando family, has also worked here for six years.
This Adrian Carlos is also a man of real ability. Apart from that, the Royal Spanish Navy's class II windsurfing battleship, the San Carlos, launched in 1765, has his share of credit.
The sailing battleship San Carlos, launched in 1765, is a class II sailing battleship with 1714 tons displacement and 94 guns. It plays an important role in the current Royal Spanish Navy. In the original historical time and space, the ship was upgraded to a class I windsurfing battleship with 112 guns in 1801.
And this Mr. Carlos, in the process of shooting and building the San Carlos, has deep participation.
He was only twenty-five years old when he was involved in the design and construction of the San Carlos. He was definitely a shipbuilding genius.
Unfortunately, this civilian engineer has a beautiful wife. When the San Carlos was launched, the Royal Spanish Navy held a grand launching ceremony and invited many engineers who participated in the design and construction of the warship.
Qiaoduan is bloody. Mr. Carlos took his wife to attend the ceremony, and then his wife was picked up by the son of an aristocrat.
Although Mr. Carlos has outstanding talent in shipbuilding and his wife loves her very much, these things can not resist the great pressure from money and power.
