Everyone chatted non-stop and discussed each other's achievements.

Liu Jin walked in with a smile on his face, and immediately the entire conference room fell silent, and everyone hurriedly sat upright, looking at Liu Jin one by one.

"Childe!"

The crowd shouted in unison.

"Sit down!"

Liu Jin nodded and gestured.

"This year, everyone's performance is very good, the development is very fast, and everyone has worked hard."

Liu Jin looked at everyone, paused slightly, thought about it and said slowly.

People in this era are still very particular about a word of loyalty and faith, the word loyalty is a lot of gold, in various industrial fields, there are many people who are doing things for a lifetime for an owner.

And because in ancient times, people's range of activities was relatively small, so if the reputation was not good, it was difficult to mix, so more attention was paid to the word faithfulness.

These senior managers under their hands are basically very reliable, they give them enough treatment, and they are also conscientious to manage these industries for themselves, with good management and many bonuses, bad management and poor bonuses, which makes Liu Jin also save a lot of energy.

"Today, we are so anxious to gather everyone because a new era is coming, and we, as the leaders of various industries in Daming, should always be the leader of the times."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone was suddenly confused, a new era?

What era?

The age of steam?

Soon, someone thought of what they saw when they read the Ming Morning in the morning, the age of steam.

"Today's Ming Morning Post, everyone has already read it, right?"

Liu Jin picked up a copy of the Ming Morning Post, and then someone soon sent a copy of today's Ming Morning Post to everyone present.

"The steam engine was born, and it marked the arrival of an era, the age of steam!"

"Many people may think that it is not just a newly invented machine, how can it be related to the times?"

"But what I'm going to tell you today is that the steam engine is not just a steam engine, it represents the most advanced productivity, the most powerful and faster speed on the planet."

Holding the Ming Morning Post in his hand, Liu Jin looked very excited.

If the steam engine was the first to be used on a large scale in the Ming Dynasty, the textile machine and loom driven by the steam engine appeared in the factory; The ships were powered by steam engines; There are steam trains on land; Steam cultivators and harvesters have appeared in the fields......

If all this can be realized, then the Ming Dynasty will really be ahead of the world, coupled with the huge size and national strength it already has, it will soon be able to truly dominate the world, occupy the most land in the world, and have the most resources.

This is Liu Jin's biggest pursuit after crossing over, and it is also the goal he has been working hard for.

It's so pitiful to think about the afterlife.

Since ancient times, the descendants of Yan and Huang have believed in having more children and more blessings, and like to have children, but in later generations, they were forced to implement the JHSY policy, in the final analysis, in fact, their own resources are not enough.

If you have enough land, if you have enough resources, why do you need to do that?

If you like to give birth, you can give birth casually, anyway, the land is sparsely populated, and even you have to be rewarded, just like the current Ming Dynasty, which has always encouraged childbirth, and the court is worried about the vast land and sparsely populated.

Population, resources, land, that's the most important thing.

The Ming Dynasty has a huge population, but its own land is not too much, the Age of Discovery, as long as you grasp this opportunity, you will be able to occupy the most vast land in one fell swoop, obtain the most resources, and leave a broad living space for future generations.

Everyone looked at Liu Jin and could clearly feel that Liu Jin was very excited at this time, which everyone had never seen before.

In the past, Liu Jin, even when he was big, was also light-hearted, as if he had seen everything, and nothing could stir up a trace of waves.

But now it's just the appearance of a steam engine, which makes Liu Jin so excited, it's really incomprehensible.

But if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out, but this doesn't prevent everyone from attaching importance to the steam engine, Liu Jin attaches importance to the steam engine, there must be his reason, and everyone also attaches importance to it.

Just thinking about it, this steam engine doesn't seem to have much to do with itself, and the industry he is responsible for doesn't seem to use the steam engine.

"Many people may think that this steam engine seems to have nothing to do with the industry they are responsible for."

Liu Jin looked at everyone and seemed to know what everyone was thinking.

He smiled and said: "The steam engine can be used in almost all fields, in all aspects of our industrial production. ”

"For example, in the shipyard, the ships are all sailboats, relying on sails to walk, and there are also relying on human oars to walk, but this is still too slow and limited by many conditions."

"When sailing at sea, it is difficult to walk against the wind, and the speed is also very slow, and when there is no wind or current, there is no way to walk, and it is very difficult to walk against the current in the river."

"However, if we apply the whole steam engine to the ship, put oars on the bottom of the ship, and use the steam engine to drive the oars, our ship can gain a great power, and then we will not have to rely on sails, and our ship will be able to walk, even faster, more steadily, and can walk quickly in the reverse current and against the wind."

The first thing Liu Jin mentioned was the shipyard, the steam engine was studied, how could it not be used on the ship, now the time to travel to various places is still too long, with the steam engine is different, it can greatly facilitate the travel of various places.

In addition, in the coastal areas of the Yangtze River, only Songhu on the side of the export sea has developed relatively rapidly, and the development of the upper section is relatively slow, and there is no way to compare with the coastal areas, which is largely affected by the adverse current.

It is very comfortable for the boat to go down smoothly, but when you want to go upstream, it is very difficult, and it is far less convenient than at sea.

But if there are steamships it is different, the impact of the water flow can be minimized, even if it is Wuhan, Nanchang and these places will be no different from the coastal areas, the radiation capacity of the Yangtze River can be greatly expanded, greatly promoting the development of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the most important thing is to the outside world, with the steamship, whether it is to the Golden Continent or to Australia, or to the West, it will become faster, and the steamship can be built bigger and bigger, and slowly it can also build a steel mill to drive new innovation in shipbuilding technology.

"The shipyard should rely on the steam engine to develop new ships, and rely on steam-powered ships to come out."

Liu Jin said to the person in charge of the shipyard.

"Yes~"

The other party nodded hurriedly, but he was thinking about it in his mind, this steam engine and shipbuilding, combined, this is a steam ship?

Wouldn't that be the same as the steam harvester, which would emit black smoke in the future?

"On the machine factory side, it is necessary to rely on the steam engine, although the new steam loom and steam loom are developed, and the steam engine with higher horsepower is also researched, which is more stable and easier to control, and the steam engine and all kinds of machines are integrated."

"For example, the wheat and millet, the research of the machine that can dehull, the research of the machine of grinding, the combination of the steam engine, and the research of the machine that can walk on the road, with the steam engine to drive, can be used to load goods, can also be used to transport people, and so on."

Turning his head, Liu Jin told the person in charge of the machinery factory again.

In the past, there were many machines that could not be manufactured, but now there are steam engines that can be manufactured, such as machine tools, machine tools need strong power, relying on power to cut and process metal, and it is obviously unrealistic to rely on human or animal power in the past.

At most, it can be powered by water, but the hydraulic power is relatively limited and needs to be built next to a river.

With the steam engine, it is different, and the research of a stable steam engine can completely rely on steam power to drive the machine tool, and then produce more sophisticated machines and equipment.

Not to mention anything else, it will be easier to make guns in the future, and more advanced guns can also be made.

"Yes~"

The person in charge of the machinery factory immediately felt a lot of pressure, the burden on his shoulders was very heavy, there were too many things to study, and it was a steam engine and a new machine, and it had to be combined, and the pressure was greater than that of the mountain.

"Miyun Iron Works here to find a way to use the steam engine, iron ore grinding can use the steam engine, forging steel can also be driven by the steam engine, think of more ways, the steam engine is used, constantly improve the technology, smelt better steel, and make better products."

"On the side of the cement factory, the steam engine is also useful, the grinding machine can be powered by steam, and the material transmission can also be used by the steam engine, think about it, where can the steam engine be used."

“……”

Liu Jin kept telling the heads of the industries under his command that the role of the steam engine is too big, too much, of course, it has just come out now, and many places are not very mature, in fact, it is not necessary to use this steam engine.

But what Liu Jin wants is an attitude, no matter what the steam engine is, all industries must use it first, as long as it is used more, it can be used more, and then the role and benefits of the steam engine can be gradually perceived.

In the same way, we can continue to gradually improve the steam engine, make its power more powerful, improve stability and controllability, and in this process, it is also to drive the development and innovation of technology in various fields.

This is what Liu Jin thinks, and why all industries find ways to use steam engines and use steam engines.

Even on the side of the Ryukyu Sugar Industry, Liu Jin asked them to find a way to use the steam engine, and using the steam engine to develop a powerful juicer is also a kind of use.
