Chapter 658 Wire-guided Torpedo

658 wire-guided torpedo

Afterwards, Ye Dakang bought a large number of old cargo ships in the market for emergency use.

At the same time, he ordered all the shipyards of his company to work at full capacity to build various large cargo ships.

Due to Ye Qingshan’s layout in Western Australia, their joint consortium has invested a lot of money there over the past year.

There was not much gain in the early stage.

But as time went on, mines all over Western Australia began to operate and a large number of factories started operations.

Many of the materials needed need to be shipped from the United States.

Especially workers and various large equipment are in huge demand.

At the same time, the high-quality iron ore mined from Western Australia can be sold for a good price when it is brought back to the United States.

It is better than the locally mined iron ore and cheaper.

Especially when the West Coast Steel Alliance was competing with the Carnegie family for the steel market.

The Carnegie family and their allied consortiums monopolized most of the iron and coal mines in the United States.

The existing iron and coal mines in the hands of the consortium alone are not enough to meet the needs of the steel companies with increasingly large output.

At this critical moment, these are high-quality iron ore from Western Australia.

Saved Anthony and the others again.

As a result, many families in the United Consortium have discovered this business over the past two months.

As a result, the size of the fleets from the various families of the United Consortium in the Western Pacific Ocean was gradually expanding.

Now, not only the Qingshan Group is short of ships, but other families in the United Consortium are also short of ships.

They also sell and acquire cargo ships in the market.

At the same time, other families in the joint consortium also received a notice from Ye Dakang, asking all the shipyards under their names to start production and manufacture large cargo ships and transport ships.

Ye Qingshan returned to the manor and stayed there for two days, then took Ye Qingfeng to a military industrial enterprise in California.

Because Ye Qingshan needs this military-industrial enterprise to manufacture the unique instruments and equipment for the Type XXI submarine.

Fortunately, Ye Qingshan is here and has received good news.

Those Type XXI submarines are equipped with navigators and other precision instruments and equipment, with detailed design drawings and data.

This military industrial enterprise is fully capable of manufacturing it.

This solved the last piece of the puzzle in the construction of the Type XXI submarine.

At the same time, Ye Qingshan also started another secret manufacturing project in this military-industrial enterprise.

Manufacture of a new type of torpedo.

An elite assassin would naturally have a sharp dagger that could kill with one blow.

The Type XXI submarine is naturally the assassin, and the dagger that Ye Qingshan equipped it with is a product that is beyond this era.

Wire-guided torpedo.

In fact, the earliest wire-guided torpedoes appeared in the late World War II.

It was also made by the Germans.

However, the wire-guided torpedoes designed by the Germans had unstable performance, so the attack effect was not very good.

However, their torpedo design concept is correct and is the right direction for future torpedo development.

I have to say that the Germans really had a vision that was ahead of their time when it came to submarines and torpedoes.

When a whale falls, everything comes alive!

So, after World War II, the Americans absorbed these German scientists and based their work on the wire-guided torpedoes they developed.

In the late 37s, an advanced wire-guided torpedo, the MK1-, was designed and manufactured.

This is a wire-guided torpedo with active and passive acoustic homing.

This is definitely a sharp dagger. In the era of World War II, it would definitely be a powerful weapon.

Now, Ye Qingshan has secretly started the production of this wire-guided torpedo in his own military-industrial enterprise.

Fortunately, the manufacturing technology required for wire-guided torpedoes has not been too far beyond this era.

They are all further developed on the basis of this era.

Manufacturing should be fine.

If Ye Qingshan were to produce more advanced torpedoes from the future, such as fiber-optic guided torpedoes, then the manufacturing capabilities of the US military industrial enterprises would be limited.

It is basically impossible to manufacture products because of the iteration of technology.

Manufacturing capacity can no longer keep up.

Fortunately, Ye Qingshan did not get the fiber-optic guided torpedoes. Wire-guided torpedoes are enough to dominate the ocean in this era.

By the time Ye Qingshan left the military-industrial enterprise a week later, the secret manufacturing of wire-guided torpedoes had already begun.

Ye Qingshan spent another week developing, fixing and making photos of the remaining two boxes of film.

Looking at the ten boxes of photos, they were all filled with various technical drawings and data.

Ye Qingshan was very satisfied. This was the capital for him to dominate the second world war in the future.

And so, it was early December.

That night, Ye Qingshan, Alice, Ye Dakang, and Joseph got together for a rare occasion and had dinner at the same table.

"Ashan, have you finished your work?"

Ye Dakang felt the look from his daughter-in-law and immediately asked Ye Qingshan.

“Finished some work.

What's wrong? "

Ye Qingshan looked up at Ye Dakang.

"Now that we're done, we should leave for New York in a couple of days."

"About the company's listing?"

Ye Qingshan ate a piece of steak and asked while chewing.

According to one of the decisions of the previous roundtable meeting of the joint consortium, in order to obtain more funds to support their future development.

They decided to separate some of the group's mining companies.

For example, a gold mining company can be listed in New York.

On the one hand, it is to raise money through listing, and on the other hand, it is to enhance the reputation of the consortium.

After all, at this time, the influence of their joint consortium was limited to the Midwest. In this era, the East was the most prosperous economic area in the United States.

In the future, their joint consortium will want to gain a bigger stage in the United States.

We must go to the east and into the core.

However, Ye Qingshan’s Qingshan Group will not be listed for the time being.

It doesn’t matter that only a small part of the industries below are listed.

This listing is also an attempt. If it is feasible, Ye Qingshan can list more non-core companies in the future.

“The listing is just one of them.

You forgot about Grandma Alice.

I received a call from the hospital in New York yesterday, saying that Alice's grandmother might not be able to hold on.

Alice wanted to leave for New York yesterday.

I haven't left yet just to wait for you to come out."

After hearing this, Ye Qingshan stopped what he was doing.

Looking at Alice beside him, her eyes were already red.

Only then did Ye Qingshan realize that he had been too busy during this period of time and had even forgotten that Alice's grandmother was seriously ill.

Ye Qingshan walked up to Alice, hugged her, and whispered to comfort her: "I'm sorry, Alice.

I have been so busy these days that I actually forgot about this matter.

I'll go with you to visit grandma."

"Ah."

Alice cried quietly and threw herself into Ye Qingshan's arms.

"when are we leaving?"

Ye Qingshan looked at Ye Dakang and Joseph.

"tomorrow."
