Sinzheng, South Korea.

"The people of Chu have been able to manufacture our arrow ships in batches at the Wuyue Shipyard, and such ships can be effectively and quickly deployed, which is definitely not good news for our shipyard in Qingcheng." Han Shu said worriedly.

South Korea currently has a strong shipbuilding capacity, especially in Qingcheng, there are a large number of shipyards, through the integration of listed companies, shipbuilding capacity to further improve, but such an improvement can not effectively occupy the market, or to say, to hit the potential shipbuilding capacity, because the arrow ship is relatively simple, and the use of iron beams, the load capacity of the ship is further improved. This is good news for shipping, but not for shipyards, because they have a rival.

"Your Majesty, we also have new technologies in shipbuilding, such as the use of steam engines, the use of steam engines, can promote the navigation of ships faster, and ships will not be affected by the season and wind direction." Zhang Liang said comfortingly.

"However, the report I received said that the application of new technologies is not very smooth, and there are still very problems in some key areas, such as we can only use the steam engine of the Qin people, because their power is very large, the technology is mature, and the volume is relatively small, while our steam engine, although it can also be manufactured, but it consumes a lot of energy, the power is also much smaller, and the volume is larger than that of the Qin people. Moreover, the ships of the Qin State use propellers, while we use paddle wheels, which is still an experiment on a small boat, and our ships have encountered a situation where they cannot sail due to strong winds and waves, and if we use large ships, I am afraid that the problem will be even more serious. Han Shu said.

"This." Zhang Liang knew that technical problems could not be solved urgently, because it required a process of accumulation, and Qin State did not do this all at once, they carried out a large number of experiments, especially on experimental materials, and if it were not for the very perfect research system of Qin State, Qin State itself would not be able to do this.

South Korea also has corresponding laboratories, but compared to Qin, he is still very backward. South Korea also has corresponding universities, and enterprises also have corresponding laboratories, but there is a shortage of talents and equipment. As a result, the results of South Korean experiments are often unsatisfactory.

"I know that the technical department lacks technical personnel, many places are lacking talents, but we should also actively introduce the corresponding technology, I heard that the Qin side is transferring a number of technology, they are carried out in the name of joint stock cooperation, Zhao Guo's enterprises have used their shares as a bargaining chip to get a large number of equipment, technology patents, and Qin people also have specialized technical personnel for corresponding training. Are we working with them on this? Han Shu said to Zhang Liang.

"This. The Qin Navy is also a technical service, they are in a monopoly position, I think they are not very willing to have such technical cooperation with us, after all, such technical cooperation is not beneficial, especially for the Qin Navy. It is very important to have and maintain such a technological advantage, and from the perspective of the need to protect such a technology, I think that the possibility of cooperation with our South Korean Navy is very low, and it is very advantageous to use such a technology, and it is unlikely that the Qin people will give up such a technological advantage. Zhang Liang analyzed.

"Hmm." Han Shu nodded. It is indeed not easy for the current status of South Korean naval technology, and many civilian technologies are still not enough to be applied in the navy. This shows that South Korea still needs to develop some corresponding technical reserves to have such capabilities, but such capabilities will take time to develop. South Korea wants to save some time.

"But. Qin's navy was in a state of stagnation, and it didn't make much sense for their technology to stay in place, which was meaningless technology for them. If our South Korean Navy can come up with something that can attract the people of Qin, I think there is still a great deal of certainty. Han Shu said.

"This. The Qin navy also had nothing to attract it. Zhang Liang frowned and thought.

"The port. I thought about it a little. Han Shu said.

"The Qin Navy has no access to the sea, I heard that they have been looking for a port to go to sea, but there is a big contradiction between the Qin Army and the Navy, and such a contradiction, coupled with the fact that their military spending has been in a state of reduction, makes it difficult to complete this matter." Han Shu said.

"But we can't do anything about it. Your Majesty, as you know, the Qin State is a traditional country on the mainland, and it does not attach much importance to the sea, but to the land, but there are many special affairs on the land, and the people of the Qin State are running the Western Regions, and they don't seem to have a great ability to involve the sea. Zhang Liang said.

"Hmm. This is very true, they can't do anything about the sea, but they are interested in the mainland, if they occupy the northern continent, they will have access to the sea, but in this way, Qin's army spending will inevitably increase again. This seems to be difficult for the people of Qin to bear. Han Shu said.

"Therefore, the problem is contradictory, and the people of the Qin State are not able to balance such a problem at the moment." Zhang Liang said.

"Hmm. However, we can't provide a port for them, at most we give them the right to berth in Qingcheng, but to give up Qingcheng, I'm afraid it's impossible. Han Shu said.

"We're still very good at that. There seems to be only one way to get the technology. That is to carry out enterprise cooperation, through the cooperation of private enterprises, the introduction of some advanced technology, digestion, absorption, and then into our technological advantages. Han Shu said.

"But that's just a try." Zhang Liang said helplessly. Zhang Liang did not have much hope for the introduction of key naval technologies, because such a technology and the technological monopoly practiced by the other party seemed unlikely for the Qin people to take the initiative to give up such a technological monopoly. But Zhang Liang faced the dilemma of naval development, so he could only try it like this, after all, this has a great close relationship with South Korea's shipbuilding industry.

"Have our men withdrawn?" Zhu Jian asked.

"Well, sir, not yet." One soldier replied.

"Damn it. If they don't come back. Zhu Jian looked worriedly at the outside of the fortifications. Shaking his head, his future will also be greatly limited.
