Chapter 144 Blue Fish

Humph!

Humph!

Humph!

Duan Yueer gently pulled the small one who was picking up the dishes for Li Mo, with her wings and nose, and snorted coldly three times in a row. The little girl then spit out her little tongue, whitened her eyes, and cleverly leaned against Yueer's sister.

"What do you mean? The united front?!" Master Li blinked his eyes and took a bite of the steamed bread and was overjoyed. Does this mean that the 3P business can be carried out early?

Before Bai Yumeng woke up, she saw Duan Yueer take out a familiar handkerchief and look at the familiar neck picture of the mandarin duck on the handkerchief. Master Li's scalp suddenly became numb, and a chopstick pickled vegetables were directly stuffed into the nasal cavity.

"How did this girl get the handkerchief?" Master Li squinted at Yue'er with a bad face, thinking about whether he should continue to go out and hide. Then he recalled that he forgot to put away his handkerchief when he went out! Suddenly, she chewed her head in frustration, because the appearance of the handkerchief had directly extinguished his dream. No wonder the girl saw Yueer picking up the dishes by herself and snorted three times. She thought she was jealous of smallness. It turned out that it was...

Why is this steamed bun so hard? I have all my teeth!

I just put down half of the steamed buns here, and Miss Duan, who was angry over there, took the first step and picked up the remaining steamed buns and dishes to leave. I'm not full yet." Master Li hurriedly protested, but got a more cold snort. Humph, there are mandarin ducks here. Young master, please roast them slowly. After saying that, he put the handkerchief on the table and rushed out of the study angrily.

"Grilled mandarin duck? It's a good dish, but it's embroidered!" Master Li held the handkerchief sent by Fang Xianqi and looked at Xiaoxiao pitifully: "Qiaoer, do you have anything to eat?"

Puff.

He covered the corners of his mouth with all kinds of amorous feelings, but when he saw the poor appearance of the young master, he was a little distressed. He glanced out of the door and whispered, "Young master, you really don't know how to put it away. Sister Yue'er is for it." Xiao Xiao also stared at the handkerchief, and Qi Ai Ai said, "It's been a long time."

Li Mo is also a head bigger than two. Usually, after returning to ancient times, the three wives and four concubines are peaceful, and they take the initiative to pull the big quilt to sleep together. Why is there even a stream of sourness in the little girl's eyebrows?

People are more popular than people!

Master Li approached a little shamelessly and narrowed his waist with his big hand: "Ciaoer, I miss you."

"Oh."

The little girl exclaimed, turned into a swirl, and escaped from Master Li's claws. After twisting the young master's eyes, she secretly glanced out of the door and suddenly said loudly, "Young master, you have been busy on your way recently. You must be angry. I'll cook a pot of herbal tea for you."

"Cough." As if with the small movements, the door suddenly sounded a soft cough. When Xiaoxiao heard the noise, her pretty face turned redder. She wanted to leave, but she felt that it was against the young master's mind. After thinking about it, she suddenly leaned over and pecked Li Mo's cheek, and then hurried out.

"Wow..., damn girl, I will definitely eat you at night!" The warm red lips touched his cheeks, which immediately made Master Li's soul fly, and his heart was even more angry. He couldn't wait to straighten the little girl on the spot immediately!

Xiao Xiao walked halfway and was about to leave the study. Somehow, she suddenly stopped. Dai Mei gently twisted her eyes at the young master and Ai Ai said, "Young master, the young lady is really beautiful!" After saying that, before Li Mo could answer, he flew out of the room, and there was a burst of laughter and coquettish outside the door.

"Little girl, it turns out to be the same as Yue'er. I'm afraid that dozens of vinegar jars have been overturned in this paragraph."

Looking at the girl's curvy back, Li Mo hooked the corners of his lips slightly and grabbed the handkerchief on the table and sighed. When will he have a chance to play multiplayer games? Jealous? How boring is it? Why don't you come and have a fight?!

Master Li's eyes turned green with worry, but before he remembered how to play multiplayer games with the little girl, Fubo's call came from outside the door: "Young master, the boat to Nihao Island is ready."

"Nihao Island?" Master Li, who was immersed in Bai's dream, did not react at first. It was not until Fu Bo shouted again that he remembered that today was an important day for the submarine to test sail. He quickly got up and walked out--

In the vegetable garden, Duan Yueer's eyes were red, and she angrily pulled the different green and red peppers on the plants, regardless of size, and whether they were ripe or not. She picked them all.

"Big pervert, let you bully me!"

"Deng Tuzi, let you take someone else's handkerchief!"

"Bad guy, let you marry your young grandmother!"

"I can't cure you, can't I cure your mouth?" In less than a while, Duan Yueer pulled off all the peppers in the vegetable garden that were regarded as treasures by Master Li, which made the rich sea of the gardener laugh and cry. I don't know where these peppers offended the young lady. Although she was persuaded, it could be seen that the aunt was so angry that she dared not open her mouth!

What's more, everyone knows that this Miss Duan will become the hostess of this place sooner or later. If the young grandmother wants to pick peppers, who can take care of it?

Seeing that Miss Duan was about to treat the young master as the most precious plant of life, Fuhai had to bravely say, "Young lady, don't pull it out again. If you pull out the old slave again, you will have a way to explain it to the young master!"

"Young grandma?" Duan Yueer, who was angry, was about to pull out the pepper seedlings, which made Li Mo sad. Hearing Fuhai's words, her little face, which was still green just now, suddenly turned red. She stamped her feet and said angrily, "Uncle Fuhai, what are you talking about? Who is the young grandma!"

Duan Yueer turned around and didn't pull out the pepper seedlings. She walked to the door angrily with the basket. As soon as she reached the door, she saw the annoying guy rushing out, and the two almost bumped into each other.

"Yue'er, what did you do? Can you eat it by picking such a small pepper? Master Li stabilized his body, looked at the peppers on the basket, which were smaller than the diced beans, and began to worry about his vegetable garden. He hurriedly asked.

"I want you to take care of it!" Duan Yueer's anger had not subsided, and she was almost knocked down again, so she stared at Master Li fiercely and rubbed her body to drill in.

Li Mo doesn't know why Duan Yueer is angry. Although he also wants to explain to Duan Yueer about the silk handkerchief, the big thing is important. Chen Ping is still waiting for himself, but what can he do to comfort this hot-tempered aunt and stop ruining my vegetable garden?

After seeing the tight pretty face, Master Li suddenly had an idea and deliberately gave way to let Duan Yueer go first. But when she came to her side, she suddenly put her mouth and clicked on Xiao Yueer's cheek and laughed, "Make some chili. I'll come back to eat it in the evening."

"Shameless, big pervert!" After being attacked, Duan Yueer couldn't hold the basket in her hand and fell to the ground. She was ashamed and anxious. She stamped her feet and said to the back of Master Li who fled quickly: "Eat, eat! I know how to eat. Let's see how I can eat you to death!"

After Duan Yueer finished speaking, she turned her head and found that Fu Bo and several subordinates had already opened their mouths and looked at themselves. Then they remembered the language in the sentence just now. Suddenly, they blushed with shame and quickly got into the kitchen with a basket.

"Eat me to death? There is nothing wrong with this idea." Master Li ssed his lips, laughed dryly, and got into the car.

On the blue sea, the waves were undulating. Li Mo, the destroyer Flying Fish, with several members of the Admiralty, finally arrived at the penultimate inhabited island in the Hawaiian Islands.

Nihao Island is definitely the most strange place in the Hawaiian Islands, because even if Hawaii became the American state of Hawaii, Nihao Island has never recognized it and refused to become a U.S. territory!

Because this small island, located 27 kilometers southwest of the lovely island, was bought by the butterfly by Master Li before it arrived in Hawaii. In 1836, Mrs. Sinclair, the widow of a Scottish nobleman, bought the island from the king of Hawaii for $10,000 and came here with dozens of relatives and servants. As for the remaining 200 natives on the island, she became her subjects.

Although after her death, it was stipulated that the inheritance of Neaur Island should always belong to the female rule of the Sinclair family, and the whole island was completely closed to people outside Hawaii from entering. But how can such a small thing defeat Master Li? When he heard about this, he quickly let Cindy, a beautiful woman with the same Scottish blood, and sent the Marine Corps to garrison! In the end, under the force of deterrence and money, the descendants of the Sinclair family finally failed to resist **. After reselling Nihao Island to Master Li for 50,000 pounds, they took their families to settle in the mansion they bought in Brazil.

Because it was a private transaction, except for Li Mo and a few people who knew that Nihao Island had changed hands, only the Queen of Hawaii as a witness. Originally, Nihao Island did not belong to the land of the Kingdom of Hawaii, so the Queen did not tell anyone.

The world only knows that Master Li controls and owns Oahu Island and Cute Island, but they do not know that Nihao Island, which has 186 square kilometers, also belongs to Master Li.

Since taking over Nihao Island, Li Mo has also continued the tradition of prohibiting outsiders from entering Nihao Island, so that no one knows about it.

Nihao Island is a volcanic island with many mountains and few flat land, and only a few plantations. However, due to the better vegetation protection, Master Li also built a large livestock farm here. On the one hand, it can solve the work and life of the indigenous people on the island, and on the other hand, it can also supply the needs of Oahu, where the land area is getting smaller and smaller.

Unlike every place where you like to build a big factory, Nihao Island still maintains its original appearance. Only in a small harbor near the east of Cute Island, there is a small floating dock of 1,000 tons.

Unlike other places, there is only a dock here, but there is no large-scale forging and metallurgical plant. Everything needs to be provided by Oahu. There is not even assembly work here, and the function of the dock is only for normal maintenance.

At the beginning, it was because of the closed environment here that Master Li bought the island for some secret experiments. Now several important test sites have been built here, and almost half of the laboratories in Honolulu are also here. Among them, the costly submarine experimental base centered on the dock is one of them. .

The huge cost is not to say how large the land is. After all, Nihao Island is not suitable for industrial development at all. To maintain this shipyard, it will be transported here by Oahu Island, which is not a small cost.

The main reason is that the technical requirements of submarines themselves are much higher than that of ordinary ships, especially for steel. Oahu now has begun to take up a large-scale special alloy materials research institute and smelter, and almost half of which are produced according to the needs here.

In addition to these, another big expense is to attract those submarine experts from all over the world. Because submarines are not valued at this time, it is the best opportunity to dig people, so at this moment, Honolulu has almost brought all the best submarine designers in the world, including not only the submarine veteran Nodelphi. Te and Garit, John Holland, who is known as the father of submarines in later generations, Simon Lake, the new generation of submarine expert in the United States, and the entire French submarine design team led by French scientist Laubeuf.

The number of people has reached more than 30!

In particular, Holland, although he made the Ram in 1881, which was regarded as a milestone in the history of submarine development, it was not valued by the U.S. Navy. On the contrary, it was finally cheaper to Master Li because of the reduction of the U.S. Navy and the shortage of funds.

Of course, there are hundreds of selected young Chinese "helpers".

Such a large amount of people, and they are all monsters with a skill and a strange temper, gathered on this small Nihao island. It is naturally false to say that there is no conflict, especially in academic aspects. They are all unconvinced. Like the original group of steam turbine experts, they spray each other when they meet.

For this situation, Master Li, who is familiar with it, naturally has a way to deal with it. When he took out the double-layer shell, water ballast, and the overall plan of diesel engine propulsion, almost everyone worshipped him and almost offered him directly.

Of course, Master Li also wants to directly make a water drop-shaped boat body, but the requirements for the process are very high, and in the era of lack of welding, it is not able to knock out large steel water droplets with rivets, so the barracuda shape is adopted as soon as the requirements are lowered.

In addition, Li Mo has always adhered to the three-high policies of high treatment, high security, and ensuring research funds and required materials for these technicians. Therefore, these big leaders who were not valued in all countries, could not get research funds, and could not see the future of submarine development, immediately signed the same as Tesla at the beginning. He sold his deed and sold himself to Master Li.

In order to prevent being dug up in the future, Master Li did nothing to do anything. In addition to the ultra-long contract, he also moved all the dug-up big-headed monsters and their families to Hawaii to settle down, returned the house, money, and the citizenship of the Kingdom of Hawaii. Except for all the cars that were not mass-produced, they could not be given, basically Give everything you can.

Under such preferential treatment, those big heads are all grateful and work hard in their respective fields, making Master Li smile crooked every time he thinks of it.

Today's submarine design team is in such an atmosphere. From the establishment of the project to the final result, it took only two years to overcome all the difficulties. If it hadn't been for the diesel engine, it might have succeeded in half a year. Now it has almost strictly followed Master Li's original requirements and built this one named Blue and Flower. Fish's experimental submarine.

As the destroyer slowly landed, Li Mo soon saw the mackerel, which took two years to invest more than two destroyers, more than 30 meters long, like a giant sperm whale. It was fixed to the dock by two thick-armed cables, rising up and down with the waves. Fu.

Next to the submarine, dozens of experts from the design team are busy, and they don't care about Master Li's arrival. Master Li is not only not to blame, but also very happy with this professional spirit.

Soon, Li Mo met John Holland, the team's chief expert, and his two most important assistants, Simon Lake and Laubel, listened to their introduction while drilling into the narrow cabin.

The length is 33 meters, the width is 5 meters, the displacement is 220 tons in water, 280 tons in water, and the full crew of 18 people. It adopts the double shell design of a shell and a pressure-resistant shell proposed by Master Li. Two water injection ballast cabins are installed with a set of underwater periscope system. The design has a maximum diving depth of 15 meters and is equipped with Two 50-horsepower large horizontal bar diesel engines and a set of large battery packs are equipped with two elevators on the two wings of the hull, which not only makes the submarine dive and float faster, but also makes the water more agile.

Finally, under Tesla's suggestion, the submarine also gave up the three-blade propeller used by the ship for the first time and adopted the new propeller with four blades, which is not only more efficient, but also more beneficial to submarine.

Compared with surface ships, the space in the submarine is much more crowded, especially in the era when there was no concept of man-machine engineering. There were messy pipelines and water valves everywhere, which made Li Mo feel as if he had drilled into a wire hole.

Finally, after seeing the horizontal bar diesel engine, which was not much smaller than a car, Master Li burst into tears. This thing finally came out, and finally saw the shadow of the tank self-propelled gun! Next is multi-cylinder and lightweight.

The theoretical speed of the bluefish is ten knots in the water, eight knots in the semi-submersible state of the duct, and only five knots underwater completely relying on the battery. The water surface has a range of 300 nautical miles. If it relies entirely on the battery, it can allow the submarine to move underwater for 30 minutes.

As for the weapon, it is slightly weaker. In addition to a single 76mm gun on the deck, only four torpedo launchers are installed in the stern, and there is no re-filling capacity. Because the current torpedo cannot be fired in deep water, it must be kept at a maximum depth of five meters when attacking.

Although the defect is still very obvious, looking at the submarine that has some appearance of later generations, Li Mo still claped his hands excitedly. Although this kind of data is not worth mentioning in later generations, it is not easy to design such a perfect submarine in the summer of 1895.

After watching the submarine, Master Li immediately rewarded the entire design team with a full 10,000 pounds, and allocated three more ships to facilitate the army's testing, and used the two boats to train the submarine soldiers in advance and explore the future underwater combat methods.

At the same time, a new generation of submarines was also proposed to be pre-researched immediately, and Li Mo also took special care of Tang Xiao, who accompanied him, to grasp the research of torpedo underwater launch technology and asked to start the development of a new generation of large-caliber torpedoes.

On the same day, the highly confidential Pacific Fleet submarine force was officially stationed on Nihao Island under the leadership of Qin Shou. Looking at their astringent first diving test under the guidance of technicians, in addition to admiring their courage, Li Mo also seemed to see that a strong underwater wolf pack in the future was gradually taking shape, but in fact, he was also very clear in his heart that although the submarine was finally made, he invested in training and technology. I'm afraid there is still a long way to go!

"It's a pity that Baidu Niang couldn't bring it!"

Master Li stood on the dock with a long sigh, and let the members behind him look at each other. Baidu Niang? It sounds strange! Did the young master go out once and hook up with the little daughter-in-law again?

"The young master is still awesome! Look at their taste... It's a mother!"
