The next morning, Emperor Zhao Yan still felt weak, so he continued to raise, and the southern tour delegation conveyed Emperor Zhao Yan's oral message to investigate or something, and the schedule was postponed later.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xin Qiji followed 6 Jiuyuan Chen Liang all the way to visit the Special Mansion.

Speaking of which, meeting with Mao Geng is also a business trip, because Mao Geng is a shareholder of Minmetals Holdings, hehe, a small shareholder is also a shareholder! Moreover, Mao Geng is also the largest customer of Minmetals Holdings. What's more, Mao Geng is also a provider of information and technology to Minmetals Holdings.

It stands to reason that President Xin Da should have come to the Special Administrative Region on a business trip to meet Mao Geng.

In fact, there is no need for the introduction of 6 Jiuyuan and Chen Liang, as a fan of Xin Qiji, Mao Geng has long been looking forward to seeing the famous Xin Qiji.

When Mao Geng and Xin Qiji met each other, they were almost pious, and although Xin Qiji had long known that Mao Geng was only twenty years old, he couldn't help but be a little surprised to see such a young Mao Geng with his own eyes.

It's no wonder that Xin Qiji was surprised, in order to meet the emperor's inspection, Mao Geng paid a lot of attention to his image in the past two days, deliberately shaved his face, and after shaving off his beard with a fluffy smell, he looked even younger.

However, Xin Qiji didn't dare to underestimate the immature kid in front of him, at a glance, he was indeed too young, but after a careful look, he could still feel Mao Geng's calmness and calmness, which was definitely not something that an ordinary Song Dynasty youth of this age could express.

When it comes to the celebrities of the Song Dynasty who Mao Geng admires, Zhu Xi is actually not ranked first, and the first is Xin Qiji. In later generations, the most impressive poems in Chinese classes, including Xin Qiji's ", perhaps, every man has a dream of "Jin Ge Iron Horse", and Zhu Xi was demonized in the "May Fourth" anti-Confucianism and the subsequent Breaking the Four Old Movement, so in Mao Geng's mind, Zhu Xi can only be ranked after Xin Qiji, and even after 6 Jiuyuan and 6 You.

Of course, Mao Geng will not admit that there may be an element of Yan Rui in this, after all, it was Zhu Xi who punished Yan Rui like a flower and jade in the past.

Although it is an authentic spicy fan, Mao Geng also knows that this is not the time to chase stars, and after expressing his warm respect, the guests and hosts all sat on the wide sand.

Soon, tea and snacks were served on the coffee table, and Mao Geng diligently urged the three of them to drink tea and snacks together, which made Chen Liang can't help but tease:

"Yi Sheng, I didn't see it, the etiquette kung fu has made great progress! Yes, yes, in order to welcome the official family, it seems that Yi Sheng has not done much homework. ”

Mao Gengxin said, in our minds, Zhao Yan is just an emperor who has done his job quite competently, if it weren't for the Chunxi period, I still have no impression of this Zhao Yanzhen. Now because he is the emperor, I have to show great respect on the surface, in fact, it is not so much respect as awe! And for Xin Qiji6 Jiuyuan and you Chen Liang, that is real respect. However, this cannot be said. Well, our attitude seems to be a bit too courteous, making you think that this is a gift to please the emperor, and you have to understand it that way.

Next, there were many topics between Xin Qiji and Mao Geng, and the part that talked about Jiaxuan's words was just a few sentences, which were diverted by Xin Qiji.

Xin Qiji is actually a pragmatic person, he first cares about the market demand of Mao Geng, Mao's group has a strong demand for copper, zinc and manganese, and Minmetals Holdings has been increasing production, Xin Qiji is very curious, Mao's group seems to be a bottomless pit for three metals, I don't know if this is really the case.

Mao Geng smiled and said in his heart, it seems that this president of Xinda is still very sensitive to the market economy! No! In fact, the great Song monarchs of this time and space, including Zhao Yan, are very sensitive to the market economy.

So Mao Geng introduced today's market demand truthfully.

Considering the momentum of the exhibition in the power industry, as well as the development momentum of the steam power, gas industry, internal combustion engine power, etc., there is no doubt that the demand for copper is increasing.

Steam boilers (or pressure vessels) and a large number of steam power pipe valves, a large number of copper is used, this is because the riveting technology of steel pressure vessels in Mao Geng's view is really a high-tech job, so it has to use simple copper to produce pressure vessels, pipes, valves and other key parts, in fact, the earliest steam engine in real history also used a large number of copper. Nowadays, copper welding is a mature technology, and copper is a reassuring choice for pressure vessels and pipes, in short, far more secure than riveting steel to produce boilers.

Perhaps, it will not be long before steel welding will be put into practical use, but at least for the time being, steel welding technology is still being explored.

The second is the use of gas in the power of vehicles and ships, and the pressure-resistant gas tank can only use copper for the time being, which is no way to do it, in order not to occupy too much volume of vehicles and ships, gas can only be compressed to have better practicability. Like the taxis that used natural gas as fuel in later generations, the natural gas storage tank had to be limited in size, and a large proportion of compressed storage was the only option, otherwise it would have to carry a huge gas bag on the roof of the bus, like the buses of the Celestial Empire in the fifties.

Finally, it is the demand of the power industry, which is really a bottomless pit, wires, and enameled wires of motors and motors, which are large copper consumers.

Therefore, the demand for copper is theoretically endless, of course, it depends on the investment capacity of fixed assets, Mao Geng modestly evaluates himself, his investment ability is limited - or poor money, the digestion capacity of the special zone actually depends on the investment ability of the Great Song Dynasty.

Mao Geng joked that if Lin'an took the lead in preparing for electric lighting, it is estimated that President Xinda would not be able to meet the market demand of Dasong no matter how much he expanded his production capacity.

Mao Geng even felt in his heart that if necessary, he might as well melt and remelt all the copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty and replace the copper coins with steel hammers. Of course, this cannot be said for the time being.

As for zinc and manganese, although the demand is also increasing, after all, it is not comparable to copper. However, in the near future, the demand for tungsten ore will increase significantly.

In short, President Xin will not be idle.

The market prospect is so good, Xin Qiji is very excited.

However, Xin Qiji's visit to the Special Economic Zone this time also has an important purpose, which is to go to the iron works. Whether as a shareholder of Minmetals Holdings or as the top manager of SEZ Securities, Xin Qiji had to seek Mao Geng's support.

When Xin Qiji finished introducing the project idea, Mao Geng was a little shocked. Could it be that the historical "Han Yeping" company wants to change a vest and land in the Great Song Dynasty!

Mao Geng even had an impulse for a while, wanting to talk to Xin Qijian and simply set up the iron factory in Hanyang. However, after calming down, it was still built to set up the iron plant directly in Daye, originally Yue Fei built some infrastructure in Daye, and at the same time, based on the consideration of cost control, of course, it is necessary to save some freight, Daye Special Steel was once very popular, Daye Special Steel is still a listed company, Daye there as an iron plant site should be better than Hanyang and Jiujiang.

Mao Geng is of course very supportive of Minmetals Holdings' establishment of an iron plant. Only when the Great Song Dynasty entered the Iron Age one day earlier, did the barbarian nation have no chance to subvert such an advanced civilization as the Great Song Dynasty. This is also one thing that Mao Geng has been trying to do.

What's more, the demand for steel in the industrial exhibition will be unlimited, think about the steel output of hundreds of millions of tons per year in the Celestial Empire in the future, the current steel output of the Great Song Dynasty is not even a fraction of a fraction, power, machine tools, shipbuilding, guns, including Zhu Xi's version of the "ironclad chariot", which is inseparable from steel.

Mao Geng didn't mention the "ironclad chariot", as soon as he mentioned this "ironclad chariot", he immediately became the focus of the field.

Xin Qiji asked:

"This ironclad chariot, after it is built, can it really easily crush the iron cavalry of the golden soldiers?"

"Easy rolling" is Chen Liang's exaggerated term, and its source can be inferred that most of it was instilled by Liu Wenbin and Long Jiu. Considering that Chen Liang is used to writing science fiction novels, his thoughts are wild, and in addition to exaggeration or exaggeration in the novel, Xin Qiji feels that it is good to believe that Chen Liang has three points.

As for Zhu Xi's infinite confidence in the words of "ironclad chariot", Xin Qiji felt that maybe it was Wang Po who sold melons and boasted about herself, and the old gentleman was old and suddenly took over a new thing, and it was understandable that he cherished the broom.

Xin Qiji had never seen the dignity of the ironclad chariot, and he was afraid that it was not much better than the Spring and Autumn version of the chariot. Yes, Xin Qiji wants to find Mao Geng to confirm it.

Mao Geng said in his heart, it seems that Xin Qiji really has a very heavy knot, no! The 6 Jiuyuan and Chen Liang present here are actually the same, they both have a very heavy knot, and the common knot of these three is the Jingkang tragedy caused by Jin imperialism, and they have never forgotten this period of shameful history.

Now Xin Qiji's question looks like a military fan in later generations asking questions to "experts", such as a military fan who raised his hand in the TV show asked Zhang Juzuo, and the most likely question is: Can J-1O beat the F22 of the US imperialists, needless to say, what this military fan absolutely wants to hear is an affirmative answer such as "certainly, definitely, and definitely".

Basically, the military fans of the Celestial Empire in later generations have such a sexual/lewd tendency. Whenever a new weapon comes out in the Celestial Empire, military fans will immediately think of the world's leading weapons of the same kind of US imperialism, and military fans directly assume that the weapons of the Celestial Empire are more comprehensive, at least partially, in the name of obscenity, and such a phenomenon can be seen everywhere in various military fan altars. Perhaps this is a persecution paranoia caused by the oppression of US imperialism.

Including Mao Geng in his previous life, he basically had a dream - one day the Celestial Empire will crush US imperialism.

In view of the fact that the military fans of the Celestial Empire, including Mao Geng, always wanted to overwhelm US imperialism. The future tells history, the great Song military fans of this time and space are actually no different from the military fans of the future.

Considering that Jin imperialism is the number one imperialism in the minds of the current Great Song Dynasty military fans, there is no doubt that the Great Song Dynasty military fans also have the persecution paranoia of Jin imperialist oppression. Therefore, it is not surprising that military fans of the Great Song Dynasty, including senior military fans like Xin Qiji, dream of crushing the golden imperialism.

Chen Liang has beaten Jin imperialism in his fantasy novels, and when he wrote the book, it is estimated that he must have been very psychologically happy. Mao Geng thought so.

How do you answer Xin Qiji?

Let's be objective.

"I can only say that, in theory, the ironclad chariot can restrain the cavalry of the Jin people, there is no doubt about this! However, it takes time to finalize the ironclad chariot, it takes time to practice the appropriate ironclad chariot tactics, and it takes time to produce the ironclad chariot. More copper, more steel, more mechanics, more money. Without three or five years of time, without thirty or fifty million yuan, relying on ironclad chariots to crush the golden soldiers can only be a dream. ”

When Mao Geng said this, he actually had a dream of his own.

Three old Song Dynasty military fans, dear! What we are staring at is no longer golden imperialism, we are staring at the future Mongolian imperialism. No! To be precise, it is a backward and civilized barbaric imperialism, and what I Mao Geng hopes to see is that the Great Song Dynasty was armed with black technology one step earlier, armed to the point that any barbarian nation could not gnaw on cavalry and cold weapons, this is my Mao Geng's dream.

As for whether the Great Song Dynasty is the first and second generations and eternity, Mao Geng doesn't care. What Mao Geng cares about is that I, Dayuan, and I, the Qing Dynasty, these peoples on horseback honestly live under the "axioms" of cannons, grazing, fishing, and hunting, doing what they should do, and not daring to think crookedly. Taking a step back, even if it is a crooked mind, it will only be crushed because of the difference in the generation of weapons.
