Li Xiang was so engrossed that he had long forgotten that he was about to go to bed just now. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Lu Shiya and Yuru looked at him, thinking that something was wrong with the breeding department, and the two didn't dare to ask more, just stood quietly aside. After a while, Li Xiang finally came back to his senses, looked at the cautious appearance of the two of them, and said with a smile: "Shiya, Yuru, I will have another way to play poker, only three people can play, why don't I teach you." ”

When the second daughter saw him like this, she knew that there was no big incident, so she put her mind at ease.

Lu Shiya said with a smile: "Li Lang, Yuru and I have already printed the information of the diesel engine, you can take a look first." As he spoke, he handed over two pamphlets. Li Xiang opened it and saw that these two booklets were very detailed. I picked a direct-injection single-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine.

In fact, Li Xiang is not very clear whether the diesel engine can be manufactured with the existing processing technology. But one thing he is very sure of is that the current diesel is made from crude oil, which is more than capable of meeting the fuel requirements of a single-cylinder low diesel engine, and even adding some unrefined crude oil to it is perfectly feasible.

Li Xianghu felt that he was a little too anxious. The internal combustion engine has much higher material requirements than the external combustion engine, and in the current situation, diesel is not as easy to produce as charcoal, and the most critical problem at present is still the manufacture and improvement of various mechanical processing equipment, as well as the promotion of existing technology. When the existing machines cannot meet the growing demand, it is not too late to consider new energy sources. At that time, it is estimated that the preparation of diesel fuel and nitric acid in large quantities will not be a problem.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang had decided to put away these two booklets temporarily, so as not to affect the normal production progress after the scholars knew about it.

Lu Shiya saw that Li Xiang was silent in thought, thinking that there was something wrong with the booklet she printed, and asked cautiously: "Li Lang, are we doing well?" ”

Li Xiang smiled: "Shiya and Yuru have done too well. ”

Li Xiang is preparing to draw a map of the world this time. Since Lu Shiya and Yu already had the concept of scale at this time, it didn't take long for the two to understand what Li Xiang meant. But Li Xiang suddenly encountered another problem at this time, that is, how to call some place names. For example, the United States and Canada did not exist at this time, and the Song people did not know that there were Americas and Australia, so Li Xiang was a little embarrassed for a while. After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to draw the map first, and not to draw any cities in the Americas and Australia, because these cities did not exist at this time. At the same time, Li Xiang also clearly knew that if he wanted to draw an accurate map of the world, he would have to participate more in the future, not only that, but also check the city distribution map of each continent in the Song Dynasty, so as not to draw cities that did not exist.

Because the map has begun to be drawn, Li Xiang's next plan is more clear. But how exactly do you tell people about this geography? Did you tell the court that the Americas at this time were still primitive continents, and not many people lived there? Will the court support their idea?

Li Xiang thought about it for a long time and decided not to consider these issues for now. He wanted to personally examine the shipbuilding ability of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, the navigation ability of the Song Dynasty had been seen in books, or heard about it. Now that the map of the world has begun, it is time to pay attention to the sea-going capabilities of ships, and to begin to produce all kinds of nautical instruments. In addition, some famous routes in history should be marked on the map, and in addition, it is necessary to copy some logbooks.

Of course, after all these things are arranged, you have to visit someone first.

However, at this time, Li Xiang had a new idea. Today, factories have been set up, and although more than half of them are still empty houses, all the equipment is already being manufactured or designed. In a few months, by the time the factories are fully operational, I am afraid that the productivity will be more than ten times higher than last year. Of course, Li Xiang also knew that this kind of improvement was not an increase in the overall national strength, and that the current improvement in production technology was only limited to the royal laboratories and various factories, and was mainly focused on the production of weapons, and by the way, some extremely profitable by-products such as pendulum clocks and so on. Factories that are directly used for commercial trade are also available, but they are not valued as much as in the machinery industry.

There are many people who have dreamed of becoming a strong country in Chinese and foreign history, but not many have really succeeded, and among the very few successful people, the United States can be regarded as a typical example. As for the typical losers, they are the late Qing Dynasty and the Soviet Union. Why? Looking at these cases in general, success or failure lies in the priority of the military and the guidance of the military. However, anyone who forcibly organizes a breakthrough with the will of the state and selects the military industry as the breakthrough point will end in disgrace. On the contrary, with the participation of the whole people, starting with light industry and taking private capital management talents as the model, they eventually came to the ranks of military powers. This is not subject to human will, and the power of the invisible hand of the market in industrial and commercial exhibitions cannot be underestimated.

This is also the conclusion that Li Xiang came to after reading the chapter on the Westernization Movement. In fact, Li Xiang already had the idea of starting the industrial revolution in the entire Great Song Dynasty at this time, but he knew that this move was extremely difficult. Although the Southern Song Dynasty already had the initial capitalist relations of production, in order to carry out the industrial revolution, the following problems must be solved: first, the number of people engaged in industry, without the expropriation of the enclosure movement, there would not be a large number of people engaged in industrial manufacturing, which was basically impossible in the Southern Song Dynasty, and perhaps could only be achieved through war; The second is to solve the problem of food supply, if a country cannot even guarantee agriculture, what kind of industry can it talk about? The third is the process of capital accumulation, which needs to be achieved through war or colonial plunder, or through the dumping of large quantities of goods.

However, the Great Song Dynasty was still faced with the crucial problem of avoiding the collapse of the country, and how could it have time to consider the balanced development of the entire country's industry? From this point of view, the practice of putting weapons manufacturing in the first place is not only the intention of the ministers of the DPRK and China, but even Li Xiang himself feels that this move is very reasonable. At the same time, however, others recognized the importance of the economy, and Shi Miyuan was one of them. Because of this, the court was faced with the problem of resolving the crisis and expanding commerce. Of course, Richard has no objection to this.

Now that Li Xiang has a clear understanding of the current situation, he has a new idea. In fact, a few days ago, Li Xiang had just made an extremely detailed plan and clarified his thoughts for himself, but he didn't expect to have a new idea after only a few days. Li Xiang also knows that the reason why his mind keeps changing is not because his previous plan was wrong, or because he was not thoughtful, but because every time he uses a super 3D printer to check information, he will always have new gains.
