Chapter 1211: Chromite Found
In fact, Marin did not look down on later generations of Europeans, especially the Spaniards, Portuguese, and Italians. You said that Britain, France and Germany were still the world's top powers in the last century, and they have their own proud capital. And the Spaniards, Italians and Portuguese......
In these three countries, apart from the strong kicking points, the Italians have a bit of fashion and cars, there really doesn't seem to be much else to say. But inexplicably, the Spaniards and Portuguese in later generations were very proud, always thinking that they were superior to others, and looked down on the Chinese. But in fact, these three countries were later listed as the "stupid pig five", and I don't know how they believed in looking down on others......
Among them, the Spaniards really can't hold up the wall. Historically, Spain had a very high starting point, dominating the Americas and having a chance to become a superpower. As a result, the Americas, which the Spaniards had been running for hundreds of years, did not develop as fast as the British farmed on the east coast of North America.
Moreover, in later generations, Latin America, which is dominated by Hispanics, does not have a power in the true sense of the word, but makes a mess of Latin America. However, countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia, which are dominated by British and Germans, have made a name for themselves and become powerful countries. The Chinese are not bad, Huaxia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Lijiapo are all prosperous regions. But the Hispanics and Portuguese, who occupy such a rich Latin America, are not particularly powerful.
Don't look at Brazil as a bluff, but Brazil has a lot of problems. Many Brazilian football superstars play football with their lives in order to change the fate of poverty. Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of the slums......
Actually, it's a worldwide puzzle. If you want to say that black Africans are not smart, maybe some people agree. But Latin American countries are all Hispanic, white people are dominant, but they are still so scum, it's really incomprehensible.
Of course, that was the case in the previous life. In this life, with the emergence of Marin, there was a turning point in the Americas. First of all, Marin planned to let the Germans occupy and develop the Americas in the future, and then get some Chinese assistance. In this way, it will not fail to live up to the rich land and abundant resources of the Americas......
……
Regarding the inability of Latin America to develop in later generations, Marin's opinion is that Latin Americans are too prodigal and prodigal to the point of not doing their jobs. To put it nicely, it is called enthusiastic and unrestrained, and to put it bluntly, it is to blind a few waves. At the end of the day, it's a matter of culture.
Just like the old black in Africa, Marin doesn't think that the old black IQ is really incorrigibly stupid, but that their culture is incorrigibly stupid. Lao Hei's culture is that if you can use your hands but never use your brain, your brain is superfluous...... Therefore, they obviously have brains, but they don't like to use them. Over time, it rusts......
The same is true of Latinos, who are not stupid, but are used to waves and are not willing to think seriously. Therefore, they have fertile land and abundant resources, but they are not well developed. Science is not as important in Latin America as a ball game.
And how did Britain rise? Newton, Watt and other great gods all the way. What about Germany? There are also many Gauss, Planck, Roentgenium, Kepler, etc. Not to mention the United States - you have scientists, come to the United States, the United States welcomes you......
Huaxia is also, it should be pointed out that Huaxia began to take off, which is inseparable from the recovery of the college entrance examination. After abandoning the workers, peasants, and soldiers recommended by the cadres, and introducing talents with real talents, Huaxia began to fly as if it had opened up.
In later generations, many so-called "education experts" kept attacking the college entrance examination system, as if the college entrance examination system was heinous. In fact, without the college entrance examination system, no matter how talented you are, you may not be able to go to university. Before the resumption of the college entrance examination, the cadre recommendation system will be repeated. It's okay, let's get out of the way. It's useless to be talented, you have to agree with the master. If a woman wants to go to college, she may have to sleep with her......
is like the heroine of the Tianyi bath filmed by Xiaolu, in order to return to the city, she had to sell her body and sleep with her in various ways. If there is no college entrance examination, this will become a helpless choice for girls who want to go to college but have no way......
……
Ahem, it's far away......
Mainly, after robbing Wagyu cattle, Marin's fleet began to sail eastward. Along the way...... The sea is full of water...... Marin was bored, so he had to start thinking crankily and complaining inwardly......
Of course, this journey is not lonely, after all, there is also the company of Liver Fu Shuizi and her four Wu Ji. But Marin is a person who knows how to maintain his health, and he will not wave casually. Otherwise, he would have died young......
So, when he was fine, Marin could only stand at the bow of the boat, look at the vast sea, and think about it for a while......
……
Finally, a few months later, the fleet approached the west coast of North America, near what would become California. Here, there is a cold snap that goes south, called the California Cold. Marin's fleet sailed south along the coast of Mexico's California Peninsula in the direction of Panama along the cold California Current......
While sailing near Acapulco, a famous port in later Mexico, Marin's fleet encountered a storm and had to stay ashore for several days.
Marin estimated that it was about 300 kilometers from Mexico City, now the capital of the Aztec Empire. If Marin is ruthless, he can take these 1,000 men to break through Mexico City and grab a lot of gold and silver.
But Marin eventually gave up on this plan because he was not prepared. At this time, the 10 warships were already full of various goods and seeds from Daming. Even if Marin led the team to break through Mexico City and capture a large amount of gold and silver, there would not be enough cabins to load it......
Therefore, Marin had to abandon his plan to attack Mexico City and continue south to Panama City with regret......
……
In Panama City, Marin disembarked with some of his cargo, including the Wagyu cattle, and traveled overland to Colon Bay on the Caribbean side, where he was loaded onto a North American ship near New York.
In particular, tung oil, lacquer and copper nails are all urgently needed to be shipped to Long Island, New York. On Long Island, New York, a large amount of red oak has been accumulated, which has been completely dried, and it is ready to explode ships when important shipbuilding materials such as tung oil, lacquer and copper nails arrive.
Today, in the port of Long Island, New York, a huge shipyard with 10 shipyards has been built there. Of course, the number of skilled shipbuilders at the shipyard was insufficient. If the craftsmen are in place, with enough tung oil, lacquer and copper nails, it is possible to build 10 ships together.
It just so happened that this time Liu Daxia and other officials of the Ming Dynasty were generous and sent a large number of famous shipbuilders, and if a few thousand shipbuilders were allocated, many ships could be built at the same time.
However, in order to keep it secret, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty adopted the method of providing them in batches, and it took several years to send them all. Moreover, Marin needs time to send a ship to pick up people to the Americas, so it will take a lot of time.
However, according to the information before leaving for Daming, as long as the tung oil (dry oil) is enough, it is still possible to start construction of 5 ships together. European shipbuilding mainly uses flaxseed oil, which is also a dry oil, and the cost is too high. As a result, ships have not been able to be mass-produced.
As for copper nails, Marin now has nickel steel, but it is possible to use nickel steel nails instead of copper nails. Anyway, nickel steel nails are just as resistant to seawater corrosion as copper nails......
When they arrived in Colón Bay to wait for the cargo and wagyu cattle to be loaded onto the ship, great news came from Cuba - Wilts, the governor of Moa, Cuba, had finally found a chromite after years of searching......
Moreover, after Wiltz repeatedly verified, the steel smelted proved that it was ferrochrome. Because, ferrochrome is not rusty...... It took Wiltz a long time to put ferrochrome in a high temperature and humidity environment to verify the corrosion resistance of ferrochrome. Then, passing by Moalai's Panamanian ship, the news was brought over and reported to Marin, who was passing by......
