Chapter 792: The economy is the first in the world

The surging development of the empire's textile industry is not only because of the huge amount of money spent on the continuous introduction of foreign advanced technology, but also because of the huge internal demand of the Daheng Empire!

More than 200 million people, they have to wear clothes!

The Daheng Empire has adopted trade protection in the textile industry, imposing ultra-high tariffs on imported textiles, and at the same time, official capital is gradually rolling out this field, allowing private capital to compete freely.

This is equivalent to opening up the textile market of more than 200 million people to domestic textile enterprises.

Such a huge market continues to stimulate Daheng's capital to pour into the textile industry.

Over the years, textile enterprises around the country Ruitong have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they are also fiercely competing with each other.

Huge internal demand, internal open competition, these have led to the empire's textile industry technology continues to improve, and finally caught up with the world-class level, and the scale continues to expand, becoming the largest textile country.

Textiles can not only meet the domestic market, but also widely exported.

The core of the prosperous textile industry of the Daheng Empire is the huge market within the Daheng Empire.

It is precisely because of such a huge market that enterprises can be stimulated to continuously invest in the introduction of new technologies, continue to upgrade technology, and then promote the technology of the entire Daheng Empire's textile industry.

And a similar situation is not only in the textile industry, but also in the tractor industry, but also in other industries.

This is especially true of the steel, machinery, chemical and other industries that occupy an extremely important position in the industrial system, and the reason why these industries can develop rapidly is also because of huge internal demand.

The steel industry in the early years of the Daheng Empire was actually very backward, although the scale was not small, but the technology was very scummy, and the production capacity was mainly pig iron wrought iron, and the production capacity of steel was very low, and the quality was poor.

In order to improve the steel industry, the Daheng Empire has continued to introduce steel production equipment and mining equipment from the three major industrial powers of the Krull Kingdom, the Keel Empire and Walia for many years, so that the steel output of the Daheng Empire, especially the steel output, has been greatly improved, and the quality has been repeatedly improved, and it has continued to move forward in the direction of alloy steel, and has successively introduced nickel steel production technology, and through a series of means such as stealing teachers, the technical level of the nickel steel production line has been improved to the international first-class level.

Today, the steel output of the Daheng Empire has reached 13 million tons, and its steel production capacity has jumped to the first in the world, far exceeding the 8 million tons of the Krull Kingdom, the 5 million tons of the Kehl Empire, the 4 million tons of the Walia Empire, the 1.5 million tons of the Gafia Empire, the 1 million tons of the Orissa Empire, and the 500,000 tons of the Oran Kingdom.

The reason why the steel output of the Daheng Empire is so high is that in addition to the large number of high-quality steelmaking coal and iron ore in the Daheng Empire, it is also related to the huge steel demand of the Daheng Empire itself.

The railway construction of the Daheng Empire has been building at an explosive speed since the unification, and the total mileage of the railway of the Daheng Empire has exceeded 250,000 kilometers in just over ten years, which has exceeded the 180,000 kilometers in the Krull Kingdom, ranking first in the world.

And this number exceeds the total railway mileage of the entire Western Continent countries!

And this data is still rapidly rising at a rate of 20,000 or 30,000 kilometers per year, according to the plan of the Ministry of Communications of the Daheng Empire, by the time of the 20th year of Qiansheng, the total mileage of the Daheng Empire's railways will reach 300,000 kilometers, and at least half of the world's railway mileage will be accounted for by then.

In addition to railway construction, the shipbuilding industry of the Daheng Empire also consumes a large amount of steel products every year, stimulating the continuous growth of the steel industry.

The size of the merchant fleet of the Daheng Empire continued to increase with the increase of international trade, and in the preliminary statistics of the first half of the 14th year of Qiansheng, the total tonnage of the empire's merchant fleet has exceeded 8 million tons, although this figure is still far less than the 20 million tons of the Krull Kingdom, but it has still become the second in the world.

And it is worth noting that the tonnage of merchant ships in the Great Heng Empire is growing rapidly every year.

In order to support the imperial shipbuilding industry, the Daheng Empire has a series of policies to encourage enterprises to purchase domestic ships, while also restricting enterprises from purchasing ships from other countries.

The huge demand for internal ships has directly promoted the development of the shipbuilding industry of the empire, so that although the ships built by the Daheng Empire may be a little inferior in terms of performance and quality, the tonnage of new shipbuilding every year has accounted for about 40% of the tonnage of new merchant ships in the world.

There is also the machinery industry, because of the huge demand for industrial production within the empire, the scale of the empire's machinery industry is also getting bigger and bigger year by year, and the fierce internal competition has also led to rapid improvement in technology.

Whether it is railways, shipbuilding, or machinery, or even the construction industry and other industrial production industries, there is a huge demand for steel, which directly promotes the rapid rise of the empire's steel production capacity, and finally pushes the steel production capacity of the Daheng Empire to the first place in the world, and even far exceeds other major countries behind.

Of course, being the biggest doesn't mean the technology is the most advanced.

Nowadays, the steel industry of the Daheng Empire can barely be said to have kept up with the first echelon, but it can't stand the Daheng Empire's high-quality iron ore, coal, and internal market demand.

In some high-end fields, the empire's steel industry is still lacking, especially in the new alloy steel field in recent years, the most typical representative of which is nickel alloy steel, the empire's technology in this area is still lacking, whether it is quality or cost control, it is inferior to the Krull Kingdom.

However, this still does not prevent Daheng Empire's nickel steel production capacity from being the world's first!

There are many, many similar industries, and the Daheng Empire has built a powerful industrial system by relying on huge internal demand.

Lin Ziran believes that in terms of electrification and the development of internal combustion engines, the unique and huge internal needs of the Daheng Empire, especially the huge middle-income group of the empire, will bring greater impetus to these new industries.

In other countries, most of their people are low-income people who simply cannot afford to consume typical new-age products such as cars, electric fans, and electric lights, but this is not the case in the Daheng Empire.

Because the Daheng Empire has a large number of middle-income groups, their spending power is stronger, even if things such as cars, electric fans, and electric lights are more expensive, they are not unattainable for many middle-income families.

Especially in the car category, Lin Ziran has great hopes!
