Chapter 560: A Fire in Winter
By mid-February, there was no good news from Goryeo, but there was a lot of news from within the Great Song Dynasty to Wang Yan.
The first aspect is that deflation is easing, and the unsalable materials of the Daimyo Prefecture are rebounding moderately.
This is because after the success of the railway bonds issued by the Great Bird, the money was planned to be invested to give back to the industry and agriculture of the Daimyofu, which is also known as the "export tax rebate". As a result, the added value of industry was stabilized, not a single factory was shut down, and no workers lost their jobs.
Profits have shrunk sharply, but of course doing business is to go through storms and waves, as long as it stabilizes.
Later, after Cho Yun-hee's return, he opened a vault and mobilized two special trains of silver and copper coins from Bianjing to inject liquidity into the Daimyo's mansion.
The specific operation method is very simple, Da Yan told her to be a chopping party, just buy and buy with her eyes closed. Just buy those unsalable materials in the Daimyo's Mansion. You don't even have to use the goods, just take the bills in your hands as futures.
Since someone bought, the price drop stopped. As soon as the materials of the factory were taken off, the silver and copper coins given by Cho Yun-hee were collected, and the temporary arrears of wages were also distributed to the workers.
After the propaganda offensive to crack down on pills, wages have been settled, and prices have begun to rise, so the workers who got the money have spent again.
That's probably the reason, live all the way.
Seeing that the initial stability was preliminary, it was not said that it would definitely win, but it already had the meaning of reversing the trend and fighting a tailwind war, so Cao Ji was even more fierce, opened the vault of the Coal Traffic Bank and transported three special trains of silver and copper coins into the Daimyo's mansion to buy "futures".
Now is only the early stage of the rebound, the cheap materials all over the land are more cost-effective, as long as they live, after the rise to the normal price, not only for the country's reputation is good, but also properly earn a lot of votes.
Cao Ji entered the market, one after the other, and the liquidity was again, and it really stabilized.
Of course, this is only temporary, and I don't know how long it will last, and eventually we will still have to establish a silver trade with Japan.
At the current rate of development, Japanese silver will not last for a few years. But the most important thing is the gimmick, as long as the Song army lives up to expectations to achieve trade hegemony in the East China Sea and fully control the silver trade line, this gimmick is everyone's confidence.
At that time, the whole country would think that the Great Song Dynasty had a stable and reliable source of silver, which was credibility. At that time, paper money will develop rapidly, and quickly gain national and global recognition, and they will slowly begin to ride the economic chariot of the Great Song Dynasty.
From beginning to end, paper money is the government's debt to the world, and it is okay to call the IOU soil. And the key to debt is the ability to pay.
Now people don't have confidence in the government, and they don't understand it, so they have to endorse it in silver, promising that the paper money they hold can be cashed into silver at any time. That's good to go.
But this is certainly a false proposition. Just as the Fed of later generations eventually had to play tricks and turn "dollars" into "dollars", the reason why the word "dollar" has is because the dollar can be exchanged from the Federal Reserve Board for promised gold at the earliest.
But sooner or later, there won't be so much real money to pay. At that time, it will be transformed from silver endorsement to productivity endorsement. This is the truth of money
Money is the medium, and its ultimate purpose is to buy what people want. At the same time, it is also the government's debt to the world, the holder of the currency hand over the banknotes to the government, as long as the government can give the materials to complete the payment.
So as long as there is productivity, theoretically the local currency will not cross. The essence of the dollar's hegemony lies in the fact that he had the dominant industrial capacity at that time, and he could have 5,000 strategic bombers to bomb Japan indiscriminately, and more than 100,000 fighters were used to confront the Soviet Union.
In later generations, there were a group of pill parties who always liked to use gold and the dollar as the target, and always liked to compare the rabbit family with the collapse of the local currency of some Southeast Asian garbage countries or African garbage countries, which made people laugh off their big teeth.
Those garbage countries are really "poor because they are lazy", and their local currency collapsed not because there were no gold-dollars, if they were that urine, no matter how much gold-dollars they were, they would run out. Their real problem is that there is no "productivity".
The industrial scale of the rabbit is equal to that of the United States, the Yin Emperor, France, Germany, and Japan, and there is still a margin for the most complete categories on the earth. So unless they are leveled, theoretically the rabbit's home currency won't collapse until they collapse.
So these are the routes of the big hermitage, and the silver of the Fujiwara clan is just a symbol, a painting cake. Through this medicine, the implementation of the Great Song Dynasty banknotes was successfully completed, and as long as the manufacturing industry was maintained to increase after maturity, it was impossible for the banknotes to collapse. In view of the natural use of the Great Song Dynasty copper coins in Asia during this period, with the help of this inertia, they will slowly accept the "Song knife".
Well, Europe and India are a bit difficult, too big. Therefore, the blessing of imperialism is needed, and how powerful the Great Song Navy will be in the future, then how high will they accept the Song sword, which is complementary to each other. The naval fleet determines the ownership of trade rights, and trade rights determine currency sovereignty.
This is the good news and vision of staying in Goryeo during this depressed period.
The second good news is that the second-generation gasoline engine has begun mass production, and the architecture is only a small change, which mainly makes up for many defects, but the process has been greatly improved.
Now Da Song's design ability is still relatively weak, but the process foundation is really strong. The first generation has tested the waters, and the second generation of gasoline engines has been frantically increased by 50% in the thrust-to-weight ratio.
Such a terrifying improvement has little to do with the architecture design, it all relies on new materials, and it is a pure process improvement.
When reading this industrial department report, Da Yan almost thought that he had encountered exaggeration, and squirted out a sip of tea.
The compression ratio has reached around 1 to 7. This parameter is very important, as long as the stability is passed, then this generation of machines already has the ability to push the plane into the sky.
Of course, the conditions of use are still very strict, and it can only fly at low altitudes, and it can be used conditionally. After liftoff, the higher the air is thinner, no air will not burn this is the essence, the already cold mixing ratio, and then want to climb the height is not only a problem of no power, it will lead to the backward machine stop, and the current technology, once it stops, it is impossible to start, that is directly the result of the crash.
Of course, these are just the layman's thoughts of Dayan, and the specifics will wait for the Beijing Aircraft Factory to carry out slow public relations and testing.
Now they can fly with great certainty, but how big the range, how much mass of the full load, how much speed and so on, have to wait for their specific tests and trade-offs.
In view of this, the always calm big goose is also bloody in the Goryeo Post House. Immediately ordered Shen Kuo to make the honor of the Industrial Division: urge the internal combustion engine factory to transform the aviation version of the results as soon as possible, dig deep into the process and materials, and climb to the magic version as much as possible. The 201 Institute immediately integrated resources to develop a high-range, small-speed, large-load low-altitude strategic bomber.
This command is estimated to make Shen Kuo jump to his feet, but the Great Demon King doesn't care so much, he knows that it will be difficult and not fast. The current scale of the wind tunnel can only test ultra-small aircraft, but in view of the birth of the new brain hole motor, as long as there is power supply, the output is not a problem, so the 201 Institute can bypass the medium-sized wind tunnel and directly go to the wind tunnel that can test 10,000 catties of aircraft.
The cold is a little cold, damn the total mass of five tons can be called a strategic bomber in the Great Song Dynasty. But slowly, this generation of aero engines continues to dig deeper, as long as the fuselage material, strength, and weight are balanced through trade-offs, loading four or six engines, and reducing the speed, it is theoretically affordable to push a long-range bomber.
The speed is the transformer, especially the low-altitude high-wind resistance aircraft, reducing the speed can basically solve all problems, and it can take off.
Of course, for now, the strength of the body after controlling the weight really needs to be dealt with, which is even more difficult to deal with than the engine, but Shen Kuo has accumulated a lot of design and material technology when they are engaged in small aircraft, and they should be able to eat it. Yes.
It is said that it is long-range, but the first-generation bomber can take off from Dengzhou Air Base and radiate the Bohai Sea and the Korean Peninsula, and Dayan is satisfied.
In short, within six to eight years, second-generation strategic bombers will take off from the Beijing Air Base and be able to load five tons of incendiary bombs to bomb Liaoguo Shangjing or Heianjing in Japan. If you can't do it, it's not obscene enough, it's not a big hooligan.
The third good news is that the 701 Institute under the Department of Industry was established, which is dedicated to geological survey and mineral survey. At the same time, the third and fourth non-Confucian universities of the Great Song Dynasty were established, Peking University, and the Beijing Institute of Technology. It has many majors in aviation, navigation, mechanics, physics, chemistry, mathematics and so on.
However, the Department of Industry did not develop the major of geological and mineral survey, and chose the college established by the Coal Institute affiliated in Bianjing. Because in this regard, Cao Ji's resource advantages, data channel experience, etc. are incomparable to the Industrial Division. So the 701 Institute was naturally located in Bianjing.
In short, the Industrial Division is becoming more and more like a monster, there is already a Tyrannosaurus rex trend, and it has begun to get involved in any field. Whoever told them to have a legal system, the "Industrial Regulations" at that time were now a hammer hanging over their heads, and it was a national law that they unanimously passed.
The fifth good news is even more shocking: Xu Langshan's fourth-generation steam engine was successfully commissioned, and it has been finalized and will soon enter mass production.
In fact, it is theoretically not the fourth generation. Because it is a new architectural overhaul, it should be called a "steam turbine".
Such an improvement is no longer linear, it is disruptive. This generation of steam turbines no longer burns coal, but heavy oil. This is due to the fact that Chen Fan, who was involved in the "theft of secrets" and was later bailed out by Da Yan, and their 401 oil industry is progressing smoothly, greatly improving the utilization rate of oil and developing heavy oil as a fuel.
In addition to the refinery becoming officially profitable, it also forced the steam turbine to be released.
It was really Xu Langshan who felt that the so-called fourth excavability was really not much, so he did not design it for a long time. After all, Xu Langshan is not obscene without Intel, and he will not change his vest and squeeze a little toothpaste, even if it is a first-generation product.
So, according to the new achievements of the 401 Institute, Lao Xu wanted to get on a car with high energy density fuel. Based on the characteristics of the cheapest heavy oil oil and the accumulation of previous designs, the steam turbine was developed.
For this reason, he also fought a lawsuit with the internal combustion engine factory. The internal combustion engine factory said that Xu Langshan stole some design ideas for gasoline engines. In the lobby of the Department of Industry, there was a lot of chicken feathers arguing with each other, and then Xu Langshan replied and said, "Damn, your internal combustion engine factory was built with my assistance, and my factory seconded skilled workers from the past to participate in the start, there is no stealing, but our natural thinking."
Khan, whether they are or not, this is a milestone, this process is really nothing to do, they really did it themselves.
So far, the Industrial Division has basically stopped the research and development and investment of coal-fired steam engines, and only full-time brainless production of the third generation of steam engines has been revised.
This is because the scale of the oil industry is still limited, and the coal industry is still the backbone, so the three generations of modified coal-burning machines will still be maintained for a long time. The steam turbine will not be used on a large scale for the time being, and some of the designs will be modified to create a naval version to supply the power system of the first generation of frigates.
This is good news, there is a steam turbine, and the first-generation frigate of Dengzhou Shipyard does not need to be redesigned, so it will maintain this tonnage and make a small change, give up the gasoline engine of the pit father, and the entire power system will be equipped with Xu Langshan's family.
The newspaper said that when the test run was successful, Xu Langshan took the train and rushed to the Dengzhou Shipyard for public relations, hoping to win the Navy frigate order and let the internal combustion engine factory and Cao Ji's transmission plant take a break.
What's this...... Lao Xu is too excited, he doesn't go to public relations, and Da Yan will support him with an executive order.
After all, Xu Langshan's machine is more reliable, and Da Yan, who personally participated in the sea trial, has had enough of Cao Ji's copycats. It's a shame to say, but Dayan itself is also a major shareholder in the coal yard. For a long time in the world, the coal yard was mentioned as "made by the big bird", and later it was the uncle who replaced it with "Caoji brand" in order to maintain his prestige within the company.
At that time, the technician of the Dengzhou shipyard who accompanied the ship analyzed that it was possible that the transmission system of the coal yard was dragged down, which caused the four groups of engines to stop.
Otherwise, in any case, the probability of parking of the four machines is very small. The first generation of internal combustion engines did have a lot of problems, but the big defects were not found for the time being, at least the failure rate of thousands of agricultural tractors in the Daimyo Mansion was not good-looking, but it has been applied to the present, and there are no common defects.
So these things, it is estimated that Cao Ji and the internal combustion engine factory tore up and threw each other off.
But in principle, the internal combustion engine plant will win, because the arbitration body of this lawsuit is the Department of Industry, and the internal combustion engine plant is also the son of the Department of Industry. Unless it is discovered that the internal combustion engine plant has suddenly committed gross negligence and caused defects in the batch supplied to the navy, Cao Ji's hands and eyes are useless. It's okay if he didn't catch this turtle son and lock him up, he almost caused the Great Demon King to starve to death at sea.
At the same time, this incident also sounded the alarm for Dengzhou Shipyard: it is not required to be new and fast, but still to follow the route of the big bird, and the four principles of stability, grass resistance, cheap and easy to use. This is especially true for the military.
In this way, it is necessary to straighten out these problems before the war, before the first generation of frigates enter service. Therefore, the first gasoline engine verification ship was a failure, but it was also of great significance, and a lot of experience and experience were accumulated. Next will be a small design change, optional Xu Langshan home full set of powertrain.
New things, it is Xu Langshan's family, and the price pit is a little pitted, but if he can't use it, there will be no reliable manufacturing factory in Da Song anymore.
Originally, it was expected that Xu Langshan would vacate the production capacity and resources to launch the next generation of aero engines, but now it is estimated that it is impossible, and the manufacturing experience of several of their factories is getting farther and farther, and they should be specialized in large machines, focusing on the application of trains, power plants, and marine machinery. Large gas turbines should be their next technology node.
The news of the appeal is a fire in the winter, heartwarming. Although this time he entered Goryeo to send his face to the countryside, the Great Demon King knew that these news also meant that the Great Song Dynasty was getting closer and closer to the time when he walked sideways on the earth, and within five years, he would have the ability to win ten wars at the same time.
There is no problem that cannot be solved by a hundred strategic bombers, and if there is, it means that it is not enough, and five hundred can be solved......
