539 coal, black soil
The Qin newspapers did not have much positive coverage of the news of the carve-up technology. The "Financial Express" only reported that the number of commercial banks registered in the Qin government had risen sharply to a new height. This article is only an information consultation report.
Opposite. The stock market has undergone a major correction. First of all, there was news from the Xianyang Stock Exchange Center. The Stock Exchange will announce five new stock offerings. These five stocks are in addition to two Wenyang stocks. Investors like to refer to stocks that start with the word Wenyang as Wenyang stocks. Because, this stock group is huge. For example, there are currently 22 listed commercial organizations in the Qin state. Thirteen of them have the word Wenyang.
The newly listed Wenyang stocks are investment banks and technology development banks. The other three are much the same, they are not electrical appliance developers, new means of transportation. Bashu Yangtze River Transport Company. The last one was established by the Navy Club. They will be used as civilian vessels to assist the Navy in its transport missions.
The second is the futures aspect. The Qin State included coal and crude oil as new varieties in the scope of trading. Crude oil extraction and refining although there is a certain level of technology. But the gap is wide. And in this industry, Yingyu didn't even pay attention to it. This gives some people a huge opportunity. Not just crude oil, but also coal. Although the internal combustion engine appeared. But it has not yet reached mass popularity. Opposite. Coal's position is now unassailable. Coal mining, on the other hand, is still in a blank slate. The reason why Yingyu didn't enter is simple. Because she already has a large area of coal mining, and it is also an open-pit coal mine. She has a big advantage in terms of cost, and for this, she is not willing to spend too much money on coal. Instead, all the money on energy is transferred to gold.
These commercial interests are still out of the question. Only to have to go to the exploration of coal mines, iron mines. Crude oil will do it. Others need to develop a series of business regulations. already environmental protection law. If the mining of mineral resources is not regulated, the environmental problems caused by it will bring great problems to the economy. This no longer needs to be proven.
However, Shang Wen made an unexpected discovery. Similar legal provisions appeared in Qin's legal system. This allows Shangwen to reduce a lot of workload. What he needed was to make some appropriate improvements in the light of the existing situation.
Shang Wen was busy drafting the article. And Li Mu in Xianyang looked very relaxed. Between Zhao and Qin, the Qin State made huge concessions, and the Zhao State provided a large amount of labor at the expense. The two sides concluded a treaty of mutual economic assistance. Qin will provide Zhao with low-interest loans totaling 200,000 gold in the next five years to help Zhao recover its economy. Zhao needed to send an army of about 100,000 people to help Qin eliminate the Xiongnu, the Western Regions and other countries. The Qin State was responsible for all military supplies, logistics supplies, etc. In order to strengthen the friendship between the two countries. The state of Zhao did not levy any taxes on Qin merchants, while the state of Qin maintained a low tax rate of one percent. Shang Wen and Li Mucao signed the treaty. A copy of the treaty was quickly forwarded to King Zhao. The rest of Li Mu is to walk around.
Li Mu was still interested in the great changes in the Qin state. At the Qin State General Staff, he saw the telegraph. and telephone lines that are being erected. These two fast communication tools opened Li Mu's eyes. Not only that, but he also wants to introduce both technologies. However, both technologies require high patent fees. And you need to negotiate with the private sector. This made Li Mu a little confused. But if you think about it, you can figure it out, such a quick thing. How could Qin State give Zhao State so easily.
It's the smooth-looking tube and the numb copper wire. He didn't even know what was going on? Wang Jian also learned after studying and understanding. There is something called electricity in copper wire wires. This thing is like water. Wang Jian explained his understanding to Li Mu. Li Mu understood.
"Electricity. Isn't that lightning from above? You Qin State actually tamed all the lightning? Li Mu looked at the phone, and the telegram suddenly thought of this question and asked.
"This. I don't know. I don't understand how this thing came about. All I know is that there is a factory dedicated to providing electricity support. We can rely on these things to keep us connected. Wang Jian said.
"Can I take a look at the factory?" Li Mu asked.
"Yes." Wang Jian said.
The scale of the power plant is not very large. Because the power plant at this time still generates direct current. Not alternating current. The voltage value is also not very high. Up to 100 volts. However, the Qin State directly used voltage as the unit of voltage, but used it.
Power plants still use steam, but they rely on steam turbines to work. This is much more advanced than steam.
"What's this black thing?" Li Mu pays great attention to detail. When he looked at the coal, he noticed that the coal was all black. But it is definitely different from the charcoal used by Zhao Guo.
"It's coal. The heat emitted by wood is higher than that of charcoal, and the temperature of the stove is even higher. Wang Jian explained.
"Oh." Li Mu didn't feel dirty at all, grabbed a handful of coal, smelled it and tasted it.
"This thing is weird. Can I bring some back? Li Mu asked.
"Yes, it's very common. OK. Wang Jian said.
Li Mu, who visited later, seemed absent-minded. After a hasty end of the visit. Li Mu returned to the post house. He's going to study coal. The reason why Li Mu wanted to bring this thing back. The main thing is that he seems to have seen it nowhere else when he was fighting in the north.
"Coal. Coal. Coal. Li Mu said back and forth.
"Where has this thing been seen?" Li Mu shook his head, but he couldn't remember.
"General, there is a young man who asks to see you." The doorman said from outside the door.
"Oh. Call him in. Li Mu said.
"Grandpa." It was Li Zuoche who came in. He came to Xianyang on vacation.
"It's okay, what are you doing here?" Li Mu obviously had some intention of punishment.
However, Li Zuoche looked at the coal on the table and smiled.
"Grandpa is also working on coal?" Li Zuoche asked.
"Yes." Li Mu snorted.
"Grandpa, this thing, in the clouds of my Zhao Kingdom, there is it on behalf of the land. My grandson also played with this black soil when he was a child. Could it be that grandpa forgot. Li Zuoche said.
"Yes. I said I couldn't remember. This is the black soil. The Qin State actually used him to generate electricity. Li Mu picked up the coal and said.
"It's not just power generation. The train and the big iron horse also depend on him to operate. It is said that in the north, the Qin state has already mined on a large scale. It is used to smelt iron. This thing smelts iron very quickly. Li Zuoche obviously has a deep understanding of coal.
