Chapter 844: Nanzhou Machinery Bureau

Jingzhou Iron and Steel Company's technology in the field of steel materials, that is the best in the Daheng Empire, its special machinery factory produces all kinds of machine tools for the cutting tools, although for the time being is not as good as the top products of the Krull Kingdom, but it is not much worse, as for the country, it is to beat the knives of other enterprises.

However, Luohai Iron and Steel Company also has an advantageous technology, that is, they are unique in the field of large-scale castings, with good performance and low cost.

The heavy machinery factory under the iron and steel company is the most advanced technology and the largest large-scale foundry in the Daheng Empire, supplying more than 40% of the various large-scale castings required by various industries in the Daheng Empire.

This large casting refers to those super-large steel products of tens or even hundreds of tons, these things seem to be stupid and big, but in the field of industrial manufacturing, the smaller the more difficult, and at the same time, the bigger the more difficult.

It is not easy to cast dozens or even hundreds of tons of steel products, since it is necessary to control the cost and form industrial production since it maintains its performance.

After seeing the Luohai Iron and Steel Plant, Lin Ziran went to the three major national defense enterprises of Fuyuan Ordnance Factory, Nanzhou Machinery Bureau, and Luohai Shipyard for inspection.

Needless to say, Fuyuan Ordnance Factory focuses on the research and development and production of firearms, and has the most advanced and largest firearms research and development and production system in the world.

The Fuyuan Type 5 rifle developed by it is not only the standard rifle of the Daheng Empire, but also the best-selling rifle in the world, becoming the standard rifle of at least more than ten countries in Bluestar, and the imitation models of this type of gun are countless.

Let's put it this way, all the small-caliber rifles that use smokeless gunpowder in contemporary countries are either Fuyuan Type 5 rifles, or their various imitations and improvements, without exception!

After seeing the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory, Lin Ziran came to the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau next door.

This Nanzhou Machinery Bureau is also famous, not to mention the long history, in recent years, several of their products are still selling well all over the world!

Such as the ship-based rapid-fire gun series, their one hundred and fifty mm forty-five times the caliber rapid-fire gun.

They directly used a 150-millimeter-45 caliber ship-based rapid-fire gun to directly lay down a huge country.

This thing can be used as a secondary gun for a battleship, as a main gun for a light warship, and even as a shore defense gun or fortress gun.

Later, after the countries generally played the large-tonnage mixed main gun battleships, the countries generally increased the caliber of the secondary guns of the capital ships, pursued the second-stage main guns, and they launched a 170 mm rapid-fire gun? This is the maximum caliber of manual loading? There is also no need for a mechanical filling system, which is cheap and easy to use? It's a good buy.

And a rapid-fire gun of a larger caliber? Is it an export restricted product, and only a few countries have obtained export licenses? At the same time, the production of this thing is also limited, and the export is not much? Basically, they are exported with large warships represented by the Crane-class armored cruisers? And it's also a reduced monkey version.

And in addition, there is an inconspicuous, but much more produced and better sold rapid-fire gun, that is, a seventy-five-mm shipborne rapid-fire gun? Is this thing more adaptable? For example, when many countries build mixed main gun battleships, they like to use a 300 mm caliber main gun to reach a secondary main gun between 170 mm and 250 mm, and then match it with a 75 mm small-caliber secondary gun.

The 75-mm rapid-fire guns on the battleships were of no other use than for anti-torpedo boats.

In addition to application on battleships? This rapid-fire gun can also be installed on small and medium-sized warships as a secondary gun, and can even be installed on patrol boats? torpedo boats and the like served as the main guns,

And these light warships? Especially torpedo boats, which are bought quite a lot by those small countries.

In the international arms market, the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau is beating the world in the field of naval artillery? Their products may not be the best? Nor is it the cheapest? But definitely the best value for money.

When foreign countries purchase new warships, if they are unable to develop and produce them themselves, and they have no special political interests to purchase the products of the three traditional industrial powers such as Krull, they will only consider the performance and cost of weapons, and often consider the naval guns of the Daheng Empire.

Not only is this a good performance, but it is also cheap, and most of the time the Great Heng Empire sells these warships, and there are no political conditions attached.

It doesn't even have to be cash, but can let other countries pay in kind, for example, various industrial raw materials, such as the many batches of arms trade reached between the Great Heng Empire and the four countries on the east coast, although they are calculated with Hengyuan gold, but in fact they are paid for through rubber and rare minerals.

Even for some weak countries and small countries, when they themselves do not have the ability to mine those special minerals, the Daheng Empire will take the initiative to run up to help them mine, and they only need to pay the mining rights, well, by the way, they can also collect taxes.

Many countries came to the Daheng Empire to purchase warships, and many of them took a fancy to the cheap and easy-to-use rapid-fire guns of the Daheng Empire, as well as the flexible payment methods with no political conditions attached.

Cheap and easy to use, without too many attached political conditions, and flexible payment methods are also important reasons why the Daheng Empire has been able to quickly pry open the international arms market in the past ten years.

Especially in the early days, when the weapons and equipment of the Daheng Empire did not have much advantage in performance, it relied on the above three major moves to compete for foreign trade weapons orders.

Of course, the few countries that maintained military trade cooperation with the Great Heng Empire were also motivated by political factors.

For example, the six northern countries, they have signed a series of various agreements with the Daheng Empire, deeply binding national defense and the Daheng Empire, a West Coast Common Defense Treaty, the West Coast Common Defense Command, so that the six northern countries and the Daheng Empire have completely formed a de facto military alliance, and the weapons and equipment they use are naturally all Daheng standard equipment.

Since they reached a series of various cooperation agreements with the Daheng Empire, they have gained a lot of benefits in the economic field, and a large number of products from the six northern countries have been able to enter the largest market in the world, and at the same time, they can also purchase various industrial products of the Daheng Empire cheaply and more conveniently.

Integrating into the economic circle of the Daheng Empire, their economy has maintained rapid growth every year, and the per capita income has increased from less than one-third of the previous Daheng people to 70% of the Daheng people.

In recent years, there has been public opinion in the six northern countries that since the mutual defense treaty has been signed, the cooperation in other aspects is getting closer and closer, and the key is that after integrating into the Daheng economic circle, the life of the big guys is getting better and better.

In this case, it is better to merge directly into the Great Heng Empire and become a state of the Great Heng Empire.

But the people of Daheng are not happy......
