Chapter 473 Manufacturing
Hearing this news, Wan Qiyang was also relieved, which also showed that Qiao Zhi's action should have been successful, and what made Wan Qianyang a little worried was that although this was good news, it had been half a year since they sent the letter, if he went back again, even if his custom-made steam engine steamer was put into use this time, it would still be more than half a year after returning to China, but Wan Qianyang has been secretly creating the military dream in his heart now.
At present, it seems that through the reports that Henry and Jack gave him at any time, the small products manufactured from the glass factory alone have a considerable profit every month, because Wan Qianyang's business acumen is completely a genius in their opinion, almost all peripheral products related to glass, as long as they can be made, have been completely developed by Wan Qianyang, the glass factory is now nearly three times larger, and at the same time, the number of workers has increased several times, according to Wan Qianyang's proposal, the craftsmen who master the core process are paid high salaries, Then the contracts signed contain confidentiality clauses.
The fine processing factory is subcontracted to different factories, Wan Qiyang also subcontracted some families who asked him to cooperate, anyway, there is money for everyone to earn, so that the world has used glass products printed with the "China" trademark, and recently through laboratory research, finally made the first glass mirror, when everyone sees a very clear self, they are completely in love with the mirror, from large to dressing mirror, small to makeup mirror, these products also flow to various countries around the world through maritime trade. For a time, it became the favor of the nobles.
At this moment, Viscount Neil finally believed why Wan Qiyang dared to put forward such extremely harsh conditions for himself, and it seemed that he had really hit the luck. Now his castle is equipped with electric lights, and of course he is the first nobleman in England to use electric lights, Wan Qiyang continues to expand the scale of the thermal power plant, and at the same time increase some peripheral business. Wan knows where to use what materials to save more money, and now he has started manufacturing special steels.
If it is said that it is specially manufactured, it is only a test, in fact, the most important thing is that each batch of iron ore smelted steel must be taken to the laboratory by Wan Qiyang for laboratory analysis, and when it reaches the requirements closest to the steel that Wan Qiyang knows, Wan Qiyang requires that this batch of steel be specially stored. Because the barrel is made of chromium-molybdenum alloy steel, the barrel is initially processed by a chromium-molybdenum alloy steel rod after drilling through the drilling machine (drilled), the second part is to reaming the barrel and the breech, then the most critical cutting rifling, and finally the rifling is chrome plating and polishing, and the barrel is heat treated and forged.
Because of the knowledge and experience of later generations, Wan Qiyang has saved a lot of time to take detours, so Wan Qiyang has been reluctant to return to China too early for this reason. There is a forging factory that is completely closed and managed by Wan Qianyang, and everyone has not seen any products shipped out of it, and Wan Qianyang's explanation for this is that he has been developing new products, because the requirements are too high, and it is not easy to have finished products. Of course, everyone knows that everything that comes out of Wan Qiyang's mouth will definitely come true, and everyone no longer pays attention to this issue, but is more looking forward to the emergence of exciting products.
And because Wan Qiyang was born with the steam engine, and it is an improved machine, it should be impossible for anyone to create a more advanced machine than the steam engine invented by Wan Qiyang. Wan Qiyang has produced train steam engine and ship steam engine engine, because there is no development of oil yet, so it is impossible to have other energy sources as fuel, so the manufacture of automobiles is unlikely to be realized at present.
Because the distance between Wan Qianyang's steel mill and the Douglas family's shipyard is not far away, because Wan Qianyang hereby built a railway, which is specially used to transport bulky goods, and this railway also goes directly to the port, and that place has also been transformed into a warehouse by Wan Qianyang, so the freight warehouse has also become a place for Wan Qianyang to make a fortune.
The Douglas family has been completely alive since they had Wan Qianyang's financial support, and Wan Qianyang also specially provided them with drawings for the manufacture of new ships, and they had already paid for it, so even if it was a little impractical to build this ship, they were completely built according to Wan Qianyang's standards, the reason was that the ship was larger than the hull they knew before, and there was no cannon installation at all, the two floors below deck were guest rooms, and the cargo warehouse was on the third floor, Then there were no sails or manpower in the bow and stern, and the most puzzling thing was that all the barns had windows in the places where people lived, and there were windows on all sides of the captain's cabin built on the deck. There are several gun mounts on the deck, and the key is what a few gun mounts can be used for? It wasn't until after Wan Qianyang's steam engine was invented that they understood that Wan Qiyang had such a great ability, and it didn't take long for the steam engine train to appear, and when the railway was repaired to their shipyard, they watched all kinds of steel plates be transported over, and cranes appeared in less than a month, and after all kinds of installation machines were erected, Wan Qiyang personally came to the shipyard to direct how to install the ship's engine and propeller, and the ship was equipped with steel plates, and there was no deliberate way to increase the weight and reduce the center of gravity of the ship. Because there is a reserved position in between, the dimensions are set as standard, and the rest is the installation, with the bearings made by Wan Qiyang, anything can be gently pushed no matter how heavy it is.
Later, because of the birth of glass, Wan Qiyang also let tempered glass be used in the manufacture of ships, and trains are currently only used to transport goods, so they have not been used for passenger transportation for the time being.
Wan Qianyang's ideal was realized, and he adopted the policy of 'the countryside surrounding the city' of the founding ancestors of later generations, but Wan Qianyang put the pattern in the whole world. That is to say, from overseas development to return to China, the places that pass by are formed into colonies. Now Wan Qiyang has basically mastered the economic lifeline of the major nobles in England, because all kinds of machines invented in the industrial revolution are his patents, and the major aristocratic families have participated in the division of labor, and whoever comes out to oppose it is hostile to the major families. In the initial stage of capitalist society, it is impossible for a single force to come against these families. Gradually, Wan Qiyang will control the economic lifeblood of England, and now Wan Qiyang continues to buy thousands of black slaves from other families, and Wan Qiyang will all kinds of factories along the port city began to radiate around, Wan Qiyang made money while building railways. This is built in conjunction with several major families, as long as the railway passes through the situation of which family, then Wan Qiyang will sign a contract with this family, which is equivalent to a road purchase money, but Wan Qiyang has given money, has been guaranteed safety, and all the maintenance has to be completed by the cooperative family, because of this, this railway project really let Wan Qiyang bind most of the families in England, and in the end it is really not enough steelworks, Wan Qiyang agreed to let several former ironworks that were about to close down to join the steelworks, This does not include the ironworks that Wan Qianyang has previously acquired. Dudley is really repentant, and now he can only be one of the shareholders, but he has never stopped researching steel, but he has always been led by Wan Qianyang's technology, and finally he had to give up research, because Wan Qianyang's core technology will not be leaked.
