693 Technological developments
After Xun Yu lost all his capital, he had to choose to go to Luoyang, the capital of Beijing, because the business atmosphere in Handan was too strong. He seems to be a little uncomfortable, perhaps, only the situation of Jingshi Luoyang is better, otherwise, they will not encounter such situations to complete such a state.
Li Jiazhuang, War Department.
"The pharmaceutical industry is a highly profitable industry, and there are really some situations where this kind of operation is hard to believe and difficult to carry out." Shang Wu said this after seeing the situation of Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo and others. Shangwu has no doubts about their medical virtues, but the problem is that there is no conflict between medical ethics and profit in itself.
"I've already conveyed your meaning to them. Hopefully, they will be able to develop more, or their ideas will be of great benefit in themselves, and in such a case, they will be able to develop to a greater extent, after all, research cannot be done without money, and if there is a lack of such things, it will be too difficult for them. Jia Xu said.
Jia Xu wrote a long letter, in which he expressed the spirit of scientific research of the Republican Army to Zhang Zhongjing and others, as well as their noble medical ethics, but he believed that there are still many people who have devoted themselves to such a great cause because of poverty, and they also need to actively conduct research, and there are still many places in medicine that cannot complete such a series of achievements. For example, there are still many unknown diseases, and the plague is still an important factor that has a great impact on their lives and health, and in such a situation, they still need to invest a lot of money in research. After all, the investment in equipment is a big expense.
In addition, there is also the encouragement of personnel, such as the sustainability of talents, in such a situation, it is necessary to maintain a certain profit of the company, and the rationality of the cost of technology patents. Jia Xu expounded his views on this and persuaded them to accept them.
"It's not enough to persuade them, we should let them see the favorable development brought by all walks of life, as well as the development of various technological achievements, so that they understand that doctors are the same as those engineers, and if our engineers are not very good, we can't have so many achievements, for example, all kinds of problems we are encountering at present, which need to be solved by them. For example, some of our cutting-edge scientific research results. Shang Wu said.
With the help of the Technology Patent Act, the Republican Army's technological achievements have developed very rapidly, and the craftsmen have provided them with more experience, and they are also creatively combining some practical results to provide more inventive successes, and on the other hand, scientific theories are rapidly filling many gaps, and the development of theories is more conducive to the development of other achievements.
In addition, there is also the importance that enterprises attach to technology patents. Engineers, quantity craftsmen are often treated the highest. Their ingenuity is a great symbol of wisdom. They were able to bring more wealth, and these were developed under extremely favorable circumstances.
For example, the steam engine, the early steam engine can only provide water for use in coal mines, agricultural irrigation, and machine tool power, the power they provide is also very limited, which makes the development of the steam engine a great obstacle.
But companies continue to invest in it, such as railroad stocks, although it is only some concepts, but they can sell related concepts to develop their results, which attracts the attention of investors, because the overall investment environment of the IRA is good, and it is a listed company, and the resource advantage of listing is enough to make their situation much more favorable.
Many iron factories have also invested a lot of money in research and development in machining.
This has led to a number of new and seemingly amazing results in this period.
In terms of steam engines, the engineers of the Republican Army invented the two-stage steam engine linkage. Such a steam engine can further improve the efficiency of the steam engine and make the most of the associated thermal efficiency.
The use of the two-stage steam engine could quickly maneuver on two small carriages on the railway, although the number was small, only eight people, but it was a high start, because Shang Wu believed that soon they would invent a three-stage steam engine linkage, so that their efficiency would be developed to a greater extent. In this way, the Republican Army may be the first to enter the era of railroads, think about the large-scale use of railroads to transport more materials, personnel. This advantage will be the advantage of the whole era, and such an advantage will be the most advantageous point in degree.
This was only a small beginning for the steam engine, and in other respects, he would bring about a greater degree of development, which Shang Wu was very encouraging. I'm looking forward to it.
In addition to this, there is the development of weapons. The front line needs more firearms that are suitable for farther and more accurate, and in terms of firearms, for the first time, **, the firing method, although only in the laboratory, has opened up a new development.
In addition to this, it is the development of rifling. Because only more accurate firearms can be equipped to a greater extent, but rifled weapons still need to be made by hand, and his production has a certain scale, but the scale is not very large, and it also requires skilled craftsmen, which is also acceptable for them.
Rifled is only one of the directions of development, in terms of ammunition, the Mini conical bullet began to use, such a bullet can increase the range of firearms, and hit more accurately at a longer distance. Perhaps the imperial court was not aware of such a development at all. They still believe that the arquebus is still the most advanced one.
In terms of artillery, the artillery experts of the Republican Army began to use the line to make their artillery more compact, coupled with the use of new drilling technology, the artillery has developed to a greater extent in terms of weight and quality, and the speed of artillery manufacturing is rapidly accelerating, which is a technical advantage, which can greatly make the Republican Army develop rapidly. However, their war mobilization capacity is being developed in more economic areas, so that their situation can be developed to a greater extent.
The Turbidity River is a large river in the area controlled by the Republican Army. In addition to providing irrigation, this river has formed a certain disadvantage to economic trade, and traditional bridges have been difficult to meet their more needs. Because of the number of horse-drawn carts and ox carts in pass, the required width and carrying capacity are also greatly increased. Obviously, the traditional way of bridging is already difficult to satisfy.
However, it is difficult to meet the needs of a larger degree by simply erecting pontoon bridges, so a bridge with fast speed, greater load capacity, and even faster construction using new construction methods has emerged, iron bridges.
The republican army could smelt iron on a large scale, and for the imperial court, the traditional stone arch bridges, wooden bridges may have sufficiency. But for the IRA, there was simply no way to meet such a large-scale demand, and they wanted to use their relatively cheap iron to build an iron bridge. In this way, the speed of construction and the traffic capacity will be greatly increased.
The emergence of the iron bridge means that the construction field has entered a new pattern, and the large-scale use of iron will enter a new high point. Because the demand for construction will increase to a greater extent, iron production will enter a higher level.
"I think we have to let them see that if we don't have some technology like theirs, our situation may not be the most advantageous, this is the social value they deserve, which has no conflict with their medical ethics, their technology is valuable, and they are more reflected in more value areas." Shang Wu said.
Merely stating the legacy of medicine may not attract their attention, but if measured by value, they may develop to a greater extent. This is the most advantageous point of the Republican Army, such a situation will meet their various needs to the greatest extent, and this demand is where the Republican Army grows the fastest.
And the state, Jinyang.
More and more people are joining the evacuation process. The people of the entire Jinyang City were panicked. Because many high-ranking people got a definite news, the imperial court may have to abandon Jinyang City. Abandon the entire merger state. This caused many powerful people to abandon their family property and leave here with their gold and silver.
Ding Yuan's order was to give up gradually, and he explained some specific circumstances in the order, for example, Dong Zhuo would take over the annexation of the state, and he would be transferred to the division.
But now no one listens to such specific explanations, and what they know is that if they don't retreat at this time, there will be no chance.
In addition, many more people have chosen to evacuate here.
Because Dong Zhuo wants to reach Bingzhou, he can't get here at all, the Republican Army is like a mountain in front of them, besides, the aggressive posture of the Republican Army, coupled with the rampant guerrillas, makes the whole situation extremely difficult, in the face of such a situation, choosing to leave here seems to be a good choice. After all, if you don't leave, you really don't have any chance. It's hard to get this kind of opportunity to develop, and in this situation, the state becomes even more chaotic, full of people fleeing for their lives, as if the arrival of the IRA was like a bunch of murderers. They demonize the IRA in all sorts of ways.
