Chapter 969: Losing money and making money

();

As the former overlord, Sun Guo's geographical advantages in the core area of the Central Plains have given birth to a large number of talents, and the number of traditional craftsmen is very considerable, and there are not a few skilled craftsmen.

The westward relocation of the capital of the Sun Kingdom not only took away the bureaucracy, but also moved a large number of its elite craftsmen and ordnance production capacity to the west, basically preserving the integrity of the establishment and the technical inheritance, and there was no serious loss of generations.

Of course, the knowledge reserve of these craftsmen cannot be simply compared with the mechanics who have received new education, and Bailiyan values the carpenters and craftsmen of Sun Guo.

Carpenter is a versatile profession and is known as the ancestor of all craftsmen.

In the agrarian era, almost all the delicate instruments were made by carpenters, including some intricate metal structures. Since then, fitters, assemblers, planers, grinders, mold workers, sheet metal workers, scraping workers, etc., have all evolved from carpentry, and even lathe and milling workers have evolved from traditional fitters to new types of work.

Bailiyan values Sun Guo's carpentry, and other blacksmiths, metallurgists, etc. are secondary.

The introduction of skilled carpenters from the country of Sun Guo through systematic training, re-understanding of drawings and technical indicators, can enable them to replace some of the positions of carpenters in the country, and expand the production of basic wood processing, and use the wood trade union of Sun Guo and the vocational education system of the country to train more local craftsmen.

At the same time, the skilled carpenters of Xianguo, especially those who are proficient in advanced knowledge, the use of drawings and measuring tools, and the carpentry with a certain new culture, are drawn into the fitter training, and then select capable personnel from the fitters to fill in the machining workshop to train advanced processing positions such as lathes, millers, boring workers, planers, etc., so as to expand the number of senior workers and accelerate the promotion of mechanized production.

Overall, the craftsmen raised by Sun Guo concentrated most of the craftsmen of Sun Guo back then, far exceeding the needs of his current projectile land, and it is no problem to raise them in the short term, but after ten or twenty years, these craftsmen will be old, and Sun Guo will no longer have the resources to train the next generation of skilled craftsmen, let alone such a large group of craftsmen now.

It is not only a financial burden to keep in the hand, but it does not want to give up, and giving it up means giving up the huge military production capacity, so the longer the restoration is delayed, the more value the craftsman loses.

By lending craftsmen, Sun Guo was not only able to shake off his ambition to support craftsmen, but also to learn advanced drawing, surveying, and even some mechanical design and production experience.

Of course, it is impossible to open up the technical level without reservation, and if you want to further understand industrial production, Bailiyan will not give them this opportunity, even if there is this opportunity, there will be no such opportunity after returning to Sun Guo in the future, it is obvious that Sun Guo does not have advanced machines for them to produce.

When Bailiyan came, he carefully calculated that it would take more than three years for Yongxing City to systematically train a basic skilled and qualified carpenter from scratch, and it would take five to eight years to be able to take charge on his own.

After Sun Guo carpenters and other craftsmen arrived in Xianguo, their own processing technology training cycle is not long, as long as they are trained to understand drawings and figures, can use measuring tools, understand advanced machinery concepts, familiar with the post, arrange their work is also streamlined mass production, this training cycle can be completed in three to six months.

When it adapts to production and completely masters a complete set of streamlined production, at least two years later, then it will be five more years for Xianguo, and the armpit people will invade the south as soon as possible, and it will be useless for these craftsmen to return to Sun Guo, and only staying in Xianguo will be the most beneficial to Sun Guo.

Of course, I also sent equipment and took care of the training of junior technicians, and there is obviously no such a good free lunch in the world.

At present, Sun Guo is just a small land, although the territory is smaller, but the existing influence of Sun Guo is still there, especially the old land of Sun Guo, and even the people of Sun Guo who were enslaved by the Wei Guo. Before Sun's influence is completely consumed by time, there is still great hope for recovering part of its territory.

However, Liang did not want Sun to return to the country as soon as possible, but dragged it out for twenty or thirty years, waiting for Sun Guo's political influence to collapse, the intergenerational renewal of the population, the loss of cultural generations and the loss of information, where would the next generation still know about the previous generation, and Sun Guo's restoration was just a puppet after the expansion of Liang.

At this time, pulling Sun Guo, arming it, and restoring part of its territory can not only consolidate the appeal of Sun Guo's declining political influence, but also make him grateful to Dade, and in wartime it will become a supernumerary military force outside the Xian Army, and become a steel ingot wedged into the heart of the Central Plains.

Of course, it is not certain that there may be a white-eyed wolf if you are fed, but as far as Sun Guo's current situation is concerned, it is quite good to be able to run five or six counties in twenty years, and without the support of Xianguo, Sun Guo is nothing.

Liang Guo is just a two-faced clown who jumps off the beam, spending a little money to talk big things, Sun Guo has to weigh the price of anti-water, if he really wants to bite back against Xianguo, he has to ask how many guns there are in Xianguo after 20 years.

"Your Excellency the Prince, the conditions proposed below are very generous to your country, if the prince still has doubts, after your country is restored, Benhou can guarantee the loan to your country, and there is no interest, as long as the principal is repaid, Your Excellency the Crown Prince may wish to seriously consider Benhou's suggestion."

"Yongxing Hou is really worried that the armpit people will invade the Central Plains, and for this reason, he will marry my Sun Kingdom?"

"Yes, for it is possible for only your country to lend its craftsmen to us, and not to any other prince."

"But since you can learn the exquisite craftsmanship of Xianguo, how can the other princes not readily agree, Yongxing Hou can't help it."

"Hehe, Your Excellency the Crown Prince is really quick-witted, this is true. However, among the princes, there is no threat to our Xianguo, and the only prince with many craftsmen is your country. ”

"I see, raising tigers is a taboo in ancient times, and Yongxing Hou is justified in this. Then if there are really armpit people who invade the Central Plains in the future, can Xianguo help my Sun Kingdom fight together as Yongxing Hou said. ”

"As long as your country obeys the order, you and I will advance and retreat together. Ben Hou has always put his life first in his use of soldiers, even if it is an ally, Ben Hou also regards him as a comrade, and he will never fall into the well and kill his brother. is also facing foreign enemies, why should Ben Hou calculate his own comrades. What's more, the armpit man is not something that people can deal with at all, so what is the benefit of calculating his own family. ”

"In that case, the armpit man thing is indeed true!"

"Yes, but it doesn't matter if the prince doesn't believe it, the armpit fleet is already very close to Changsun Beihai, and it will be discovered sooner or later. If Lord Sun intends to marry our country in the future, please listen to Benhou's advice.

It is still too late to do it by stepping up efforts to build cities to appease the people, implement the practice of accumulating grain and grass in the tuntian, handle diplomacy well, and strive for more foreign aid. If in another two or three years, like other princes, they are bent on competing for hegemony in the Central Plains and depleting their national strength, they will suffer great disasters in a few years. ”

Bai Li Yan said very solemnly, this Zhen Kuo is also a very intelligent person, seeing Bai Li Yan's expression is so solemn, only then did most of the suspicion and suspicion disappear.

"Well, after returning to China, I will immediately convey the good intentions of the Marquis of Yongxing to my father, and send your country to facilitate this matter as soon as possible."

"Then His Excellency Prince Lao will have to worry a lot."

"But there is still something I want to ask Your Excellency, I don't know if you can say it clearly."

"Your Excellency the Prince, please speak."

"The north of the country invaded the eldest grandson, and the Xianguo stood by and watched, just before the Marquis of Yongxing said that he wanted to help my grandson restore the country, I don't know when it will be done?"

"Your Excellency the Crown Prince wants our country to send troops, so that the defense of the country will be defeated and let it spit out a few counties."

"But your country has signed a letter of repair with the country, and it is impossible for your country to send troops, isn't it?"

"Yes, but there are still opportunities, which require your country to wait patiently, during this period, please straighten out your internal affairs and widely tuntian, store people's abundant storage, and wait for the future to help the homeland. What Ben Hou said, can His Excellency the Crown Prince understand? ”

"Understood, thank you Yongxing Hou for your help!"

Zhen Kuo raised his hand and gave a deep salute, and Bailiyan returned the salute:

"The prince is polite. Today's hour is not early, Ben Hou will leave first. ”

"Then let Kuo send Yongxinghou out of the museum, please."

After some conversation, Bai Liyan found that Zhen Kuo was a smart person, and he thought that his father should also be an understanding person, otherwise he would not be able to sit on the throne from the Zhen family.

After a little clicking, Bai Liyan did not point out the mystery, but Zhen Kuo could quickly understand, which showed that he was a prince with some ability. It's just that I don't know if there will be time to recuperate after Sun Guo recovers several counties, and population and finance are thorny issues.

After leaving Sun Guoguanyi, Wei Qi asked halfway:

"Master Hou, just for the sake of a sharp edge stone, he promised Sun Guo so many benefits, no matter what his subordinates think, they feel a loss."

"Hehe, where is the loss, it's a big profit."

"But my subordinates didn't see that they had an income of one and a half cents, but they lost more than 100,000 yuan, and they even had to provide for other people's food and drink, how could there be such an income."

"If you don't understand, you'll understand in two years. In addition, this matter is very important, so don't talk nonsense about it when you go back. ”

"No!"

In the short term, giving Sun Guo a blood transfusion will be a loss, but in the long run, it will be of great benefit to both national defense and the economy.

The industrial population base and quality determine the industrial scale and productivity, and Bailiyan is not worried that there will be too much equipment, but only that there are not enough technicians.

The production cycle of equipment is shorter than training a qualified technician, and even high-precision technical engineers, there is no equipment to build, and the equipment can be repaired and built if it is broken, but there is no one, and the production is empty. Therefore, in the long run, Xianguo has made a lot of money this time.

As for the magical "Blade Stone", four months later, it was reduced with hydrogen at high temperature, and a new element was successfully separated and obtained, which was indeed never seen before, and Bailiyan named it the "Qiang" element.

Its density is 157, the melting point is 1127 degrees, the boiling point is 1895 degrees, and it has a dark blue luster, a completely new metal.

"Edge stone" is a compound of Qiang element and oxygen element, titanium element, mercury element, Qiang element is another non-solid free metal found at room temperature after mercury, soft metal between colloidal and free state, it is difficult to separate artificially, and it is combined with mercury to form a non-toxic gelatinous package, which is like a jelly is also good.

Later in-depth research shows that Qiang has the property of "state transfer", to be precise, Qiang is a physical property that can wrap and slowly corrode metals under normal conditions, and polymerize them to similar substances with electromagnetic properties, which also explains why solids are decomposed after entering Qiang elements.

The corroded metal is bound by atomic forces, which maintain the entanglement of extremely small particles, so that the corroded alloy cannot form a single element unless it is elemental in its own right.

The other two properties of the Qiang element determine that it has magical "repair" physical properties.

First of all, the Qiang element is a metal that is extremely sensitive to magnetic and electric fields, but where there is a metal with static electricity, magnetic field and electric field, the electric field formed by it completely covers the item, and the electric field at the defect is covered by the volume of the item to be filled.

When the element encounters an electric field, it stimulates another physical property, "similarity repolymerization", which is the so-called repair miracle.

Small particles of the same material will move as if they were moving and carrying a larger electric field. The electric field carried by the item is like a coating, tightly wrapping around the repaired object.

When the sword is inserted into the element, the trajectory left by the sword twitching forms a new electric field, and if it is understood as a mold formed by the electric field, the small particles of the material will quickly polymerize like the lowest point.

It's like a car pressing over a tire mark on muddy ground, and water will fill the dent on its own, smoothing it out, and the same is true for the Qiang element.

The peculiarity lies in the fact that this kind of repair is not unlimited, and after repeated research, it has been found that the degree of repair depends on the roughness of the surface of the object.

At the same time, when the roughness is greater than 16, the repair characteristics of the Qiang element are significantly weakened or even stopped, while the roughness of the blade surface generally reaches 08 or above.

Therefore, even if there is an irregular geometry such as an arc, as long as its roughness is greater than 16, there is no need to worry about the repair effect of the irregular geometry. The roughness of the notch is much less than 16, and when the repair begins, the accumulation and polymerization under the action of the electric field quickly occurs to fill the gap.

Finally, the electromagnetically sensitive characteristics of the Qiang element make the transfer characteristics of the "state of matter" faster, and the faster the sword is inserted into the Qiang element back and forth, the faster the damage can be repaired.

Of course, there are still limits to this kind of repair, although the original appearance has been restored in terms of geometry, but in fact, its structural strength is only between 85% and 90% of the original, and it cannot completely restore 100% of the physical properties of the raw materials themselves, so it is not a real repair, but this characteristic is amazing.

The repair process of Qiang is also the process of Qiang compound consumption, due to the electromagnetic effect, Qiang will combine with oxygen, which is the so-called loss, when the "similarity repolymerization" is completed, a considerable part of the Qiang element becomes oxide, and slag falls, but it can be re-obtained by high-pressure electrolysis or hydrogen reduction.

In the same way, the "transfer of matter" and "repolymerization of similarity" can be accelerated by loading electric charges, and the metal corroded by the element can be ionized through magnetic flux, and the colloids can be excluded, and the industrial application prospects will be very wide

However, the overall distribution of Qiang is very rare, and it is only associated with titanium and mercury at the same time, while titanium and mercury are not accompanied by each other, so the key to finding Qiang is to find mercury ore and titanium ore.

Many years later, I learned that the Qiang element is mostly formed in chloride liquid, so most of it is distributed in the sea, and the Qiang element retained on land is mostly formed by early geological sedimentation, and the total amount of land is actually not very large.

The high-valent alloy formed by it with titanium and mercury has a stable structure, corrosion resistance and no toxicity, so it is naturally metabolized by physiology after entering the human body, and will not produce adverse consequences or bring pollution to the ecology. Sun Guo's acquisition of a few pieces of the Qiang element cannot be ruled out as coming from accidental discoveries.
