The northern and central districts of the heavy industry center have been determined, and for the division of the heavy industry center, the final southern zone remains.

This southern district was put in the end, and it was naturally used for the finale, although it failed to take away the core position of the core of the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau.

But like coal, it was the foundation of the first industrial revolution, and it was also the foundation of the earth-shaking changes in the social productivity of the entire Ming Dynasty.

The reason for the large-scale expansion of steam factories by factory owners is that the manufacture of various steam machinery cannot keep up, and this is the biggest cause of this inability to keep up.

It's the scarcity of steel.

As early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the steel-filling method was invented, and the Central Plains Dynasty was already able to make steel, but the steelmaking output of this handicraft workshop was extremely low.

As a result, the price of steel is very high, far exceeding the price of ordinary wrought iron, and even factory owners cannot afford to consume steel.

The industrial machinery built by these machinery bureaus of the General Bureau of Machinery of Beiping will wear out quickly when using wrought iron.

As a result, industrial machinery cannot be used in a short period of time, and even if such industrial machines are built, they are meaningless.

Only high-carbon steel, or medium-carbon steel, and low-carbon steel can be made by the steel-filling method.

As a result, the price of industrial machinery has soared after it has gradually become mainly wood-based and steel-based.

It has grown to a price that is difficult for even factory owners to accept, and the price of industrial machinery needs to be lowered.

There is only one way, to industrialize steel.

After the first industrial revolution entered the middle period, agricultural machinery was the focus of Zhu Shun's support, and this metallurgical system based on steelmaking was the main aspect.

That is, Zhu Shun must personally sit in charge, and before the end of the middle of the first industrial revolution, he must completely realize the mass production and cheapness of steel.

Zhu Shun still took out a piece of mulberry paper, and asked the accounts of the strategy department to send the mulberry paper down and send it to the hands of the factory owners.

The princes of the clan had the experience of the first two times, and they knew that no matter how much they poked their heads into it, they couldn't see a single reason.

I simply gave up, thinking about how to compete for the share of various raw materials, as well as the share of various industrial products produced by the industrial faction.

As for the steam factories that made these industrial products, the princes of the clan didn't think about it, and it was useless to think about it.

After Zhu Shun distributed the mulberry paper, he began to sketch a grand blueprint for the factory owners: "In the next ten years. ”

"Benhou will personally sit in the southern district of the center of heavy industry, that is, the metallurgical area dominated by steel mills."

"I won't say much about it, after all, there is only one factory in the southern district of the heavy industry center, and a large number of other factories have not yet been established."

"As for the plan for the southern area of the heavy industry center, it is on mulberry paper, so you can see it for yourself."

The factory owners have no idea about the future direction of the metallurgical zone in their heads, and no one in this era will know the future direction of the metallurgical system.

The strategic directions in Zhu Shun's mind are all summaries that the West has explored little by little over hundreds of years.

Zhu Shun is equivalent to eating the ready-made food that the West has spent hundreds of years of hard work on, but this ready-made one is eaten with peace of mind.

More at ease, with the brainchild of hundreds of years in the West, we will plan an accurate strategic direction for Daming in advance, so that Daming will not take many detours.

Part of this strategic direction is on this mulberry paper, which the factory owners can take back and destroy after seeing it.

The factory owners pressed down the excitement in their hearts and began to look carefully word by word, looking at the future heavy industry center of the South District.

The southern area, dominated by steel mills, requires students from Beijing Normal University to invent a lot of new industrial machinery.

Initial forging mill, hot rolling mill, hot punching machine, cold rolling mill, cold drawing steel pipe machine, cold drawing bar machine, cold rolling steel pipe machine......

There is also an expected plan for the various steels to be produced in the steel plant, as well as the various metals.

Cold-rolled and hot-rolled steel plates, strips, and wire rods of various commonly used specifications.

The daily production level is 100 tons of iron, 100 tons of crude steel, and 10 tons of special steel.

Smelted non-ferrous metals, daily output value.

200 tons of blister copper, 200 tons of lead, 100 tons of zinc, 50 tons of tin, 20 tons of nickel ingots, 20 tons of cobalt, and 10 tons of antimony......

The factory owners have not seen the other factories in the metallurgical zone, and this steel plant alone has made their eyes shine.

If it is really possible to achieve such a high output value, if nothing else, take steel as an example.

Beiping Machinery Bureau and other major machinery manufacturing bureaus, the production of various industrial machinery, not only the output has increased greatly, but even the cost will be reduced to an unimaginable level.

This is only one aspect, it is also a big saving in military spending, and the officers of the army martial arts hall will be able to realize the biggest long-cherished wish of this life.

All kinds of guns and shells were open to use.

In addition, there are so many non-ferrous metals, and the industrial machinery manufactured is not only large in output and low in cost, but also greatly reduced in wear rate.

Wear and tear are also reduced, and there are fewer replacement parts, which in turn reduces costs.

The factory owners really couldn't suppress the agitation in their hearts at this time, and they all drank a small half pot of tea one after another, so they could barely contain their excitement and continue to watch.

In the southern part of the heavy industry center, apart from the steel factory, and in the large industrial park, only one type of abrasive factory has been built.

There are also casting factories, standard parts factories, tool factories, bearing chain factories, etc., all of which are factories to be built in the southern area of the heavy industry center.

The factory owners just saw a simple piece of paper, a few pages of simple words, and they had such an irrepressible excitement.

That's because through these simplicity, a magnificent picture involuntarily appeared in their minds.

South District, the center of heavy industry.

Smoke billowed and machines roared.

Large quantities of raw ore are brought in and turned into truckloads of steel that are transported to various other areas of the industrial center.

At the same time, there are a large number of non-ferrous metals, various castings, standard parts, bearing chains and other steel industry products.

Transported to the wharf in the southern district, many workers came and went to carry the steel industry products to the steam engine ship, and transported it to all parts of Daming through the steam engine ship.

These iron and steel industrial products, like other industrial products, have arrived at Tianjin Port along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal along the Yongding River.

From this window to the world, all kinds of industrial products produced by Daming are transported to all over the world.

Then transport the gold and silver wealth from all over the world to Daming.

The entire Ming Dynasty completely broke the tranquility of the era of small-scale peasant economy, and there was the roar of the industrial age.

Daming all over the world.

Thick smoke billowed into the sky everywhere.

The machine roared, resounding in all the land of the Ming Dynasty.
