Chapter 245: Plan Ahead
Zhao Lu's meaningful glance made Mao Geng's heart suddenly startled, thinking of the crooked plan of the angry young brother Chen Yujie to revitalize the land of Luzon, I have done enough for the role of the pioneer, Lord Guogong, everyone here is a master, don't just stare at me.
Fortunately, the high-spirited Zhao Lian just glanced at Mao Geng kindly, what Zhao Lian thought of at this time was just the scene when Mao Geng and the emperor's grandfather made a bet to ask for Kaohsiung land.
When Mao Geng was apprehensive in his heart, Zhao Lu had already spoken, leaving Ye Shi to assist in the civil affairs of Luzon, and the military affairs of Luzon were still presided over by Guo Ni, in fact, in Mao Geng's view, Luzon has no civil affairs at all for the time being, and I am afraid that at this stage it is still mainly military, after all, the aborigines of Luzon are different from the aborigines of Taiwan, and the tribes here seem to be slightly advanced, and it will take some time for the tribes to be subdued.
Zhao Luan originally came to inspect with a very high profile, but after some inspection, the reality is a little bleak, and the matter of Luzon is not decided by himself after all, and major matters involving Luzon finally have to be shown by the imperial court, including land disposal and official dispatch, etc., and he can write a book, and it is not his turn to point fingers. At this point, Zhao Luan was a little uneasy, so he didn't have the heart to stay in Luzon for a long time, so he hurriedly ended the inspection and returned to Kaohsiung by boat.
In Liu Guo's writing, the people of Luzon had lived a life of extreme misery before this, so as soon as the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty arrived, the people of Luzon were like rain and dew and rain, vying to cling to each other, and they were extremely exaggerated anyway.
Mao Geng returned to his own territory, but somehow, his mood was not relaxed.
On this day, taking advantage of Lu Yijian and Zhao Luan to go to Taipei, Mao Geng asked Lao Qiu to invite some people from the crossing world to hold a symposium.
He Chi'an and Peng Qinfang have already gone to Lin'an, and after more than half a year of running-in between the traversers, they have slowly gotten to know each other, so the people who participated in the discussion this time are all influential people in the traversal realm.
Mao Geng took a look, in addition to Lao Qiu and Qian Airu, Zhao Yuchun is now the person in charge of the hot ironclad chariot project, Lin Lishi is the person in charge of the open-hearth steelmaking project, Gu Yongqiang is the person in charge of the chemical industry, and Porter is now like a shipbuilding expert, Li Heqin is like a master of electrical engineering in the Special Economic Zone after Lao Peng left, and these seven people can be called the backbone of the crossing world in the Special Economic Zone. As for Rodman and the three young ladies who were not present, Rodman had an eccentric temper, and the three young girls were still maturing, so they were temporarily represented.
Since Lao Qiu acted as the agent of Mao Geng's role for a few days, he has become more confident, and very freely, Lao Qiu began to throw out the topic of today's discussion, and then everyone started to talk about it.
"What does Luzon have? Gold mines, copper mines, and nickel mines! What else, bananas, coconuts, it seems that the Philippines is a big producer of tobacco, but tobacco is still in South America at this time! I'm interested in Luzon's iron ore, it seems that Luzon's iron ore is still quite rich, it is said that there are 300 million tons of reserves, and the ore grade is not low, otherwise how about opening an iron factory in Luzon? ā
Lin Lishi did steel structure engineering before crossing, when he was in college, he was assigned to a state-owned enterprise steel factory to engage in technology, and then went to the sea to resell steel, and then did steel structure engineering. After mixing in the steel industry for half his life, someone once invited him to open an iron mine in Mindanao, the Philippines.
"Lin, there are only 300 million tons in Luzon, but there are more than 30 billion tons of iron ore in Australia. From Luzon to Australia, it's close, right? ā
Porter expressed his opinion in his broken Chinese, but it must be said that Porter's Chinese has grown quite a bit during this period. Porter was quite excited about the Song army's occupation of Luzon, although the Philippines was once a colony of the United States in history, but at this time the United States did not know where it was, and Porter only needed to plan for himself. Since he and Rodman have discussed going to Australia first, now that Luzon is occupied, will it be far from occupying Australia?
Zhao Yuchun shook his head and said with a little disdain:
"Lin Gong, the steel made by the open-hearth furnace you are engaged in is still almost hot, and the converter steelmaking you are engaged in does not seem to be very good, when can you catch up with the quality of the crucible steelmaking made by Maote, and it is not too late to expand! At that time, whether it was to set up an iron factory in Luzon or to set up an iron factory in Australia, I Zhao Yuchun would definitely give my full support, but before the steelmaking passed, I would build yƬ, and I would honestly make the most basic steel here first! ā
Mao Geng could only smile bitterly, and said in his heart that he originally wanted to slowly climb the science and technology tree step by step, but after this group of traversers came, the rhythm was completely disrupted, everyone in this gang is a capable person, Lin Lishi is known as a professional in the steel industry, and he will go to the open-hearth converter at the same time, to tell the truth, after Lin Lishi tossed it, the steel made is also improvised, at least the output is rising, as for the quality, it is much stronger than the kind of soil converter steelmaking that Mao Geng is engaged in, but it is not ideal in terms of sulfur and phosphorus removal, It is a fact that the quality has not yet caught up with crucible steelmaking.
But let's be a little more tolerant, right, Mao Geng thought of this, so he came forward to reconcile the atmosphere in time and said:
"Forestry workers are still quite successful in steelmaking, I think the current problem, may still be the problem of acid blast furnace, or on the alkaline steelmaking furnace, Gu Gong, I think it is better to find magnesium refractories. You're in chemistry, so you have to worry about this alkaline steelmaking furnace! ā
As soon as he heard Mao Te's talk about himself, Gu Yongqiang began to pour bitter water:
"Maote, I have a lot of things here, three acids and two alkalis, two alkalis to upgrade, three acids are currently only made of sulfuric acid, nitric acid is of course fast, hydrochloric acid, as long as the electrolysis technology passes, of course it is not difficult, however, there are a lot of follow-up chemical projects, I can't spare my hands to find magnesia refractories, extra adult, it is better to get some soda ash mixed into the steelmaking furnace for desulfurization and phosphorus, in principle, it can also work, Zhao Yuchun really wants good steel, for the time being, use this method."
Looking at Mao Geng's chin, Gu Yongqiang was so strong that he said:
"Maote, let me make an opinion, the pneumatic tire project will be stopped first, in the absence of rubber, forcibly put on the pneumatic tire, thankless, the thing that came out, it didn't run a few miles before it broke, instead of so laborious, it is better to simply send someone to the Americas to run, one is rubber trees, the other is tobacco seeds, all get back, and then plant them on a large scale in Luzon, Luzon will do nothing, just plant rubber trees and tobacco leaves, oh, of course, rice, sugarcane can also be planted as appropriate, I think Luzon's positioning is in planting, as for industry, don't plan it into the Luzon exhibition plan, and later generations have not heard of any strong industry in the Philippines, presumably there is no suitable industry there at all. ā
The pneumatic tire project seems to be blindly commanded by himself, and he doesn't know how many resources have been wasted, although Mao Geng is very dissatisfied with Gu Yongqiang's proposal at the meeting, but this matter has to be expressed positively:
"Lao Gu is right, the pneumatic tire project is my mistake, let's stop here, as for the rubber seedlings and tobacco seeds, we have to wait for the Galen wave boat to be built, so I can arrange a trip to the Americas. It will take at least a year to get the species of the Americas, such as rubber saplings, tobacco seeds, potatoes and corn seeds. ā
Lao Qiu saw that Mao Geng, who was the leader, seemed to be very responsible, so he immediately patted himself and said:
"Maote's kindness is a great blessing for us to cross the realm."
Then looking directly at Gu Yongqiang, Lao Qiu smiled and said:
"But I don't agree with Gu Yongqiang's statement, why can't Luzon engage in industry! Can Taiwan's resources be compared with Luzon? What about South Korea? Singapore is incomparable, Taiwan and South Korea Singapore are the four Asian tigers, don't forget that the Philippines has a population of 100 million in later generations, the territory is not small, the resources are rich, its industry is not strong, that is, its government is not strong. ā
Old Qiu paused, glanced at the audience, and said solemnly:
"Assuming that we want to cross the border to build Luzon as the mainstay, can we come up with a set of effective construction plans, please think about it. Maybe one day the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will give an order, and our Mao Te will be transferred to Luzon Dangte again, this possibility exists, since there is this possibility, we have to come up with a set of plans. ā
Qian Ai, who had not spoken, also said:
"Lao Qiu is right. Besides, even if Mao Te hadn't presided over the great cause of Luzon's exhibition, it is estimated that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty would not let us be a bystander, and some of us would probably be sent to Luzon, so I am in favor of Lao Qiu, and it is always appropriate to be prepared with more hands. ā
Mao Geng had a little headache, empathy, from the perspective of the Great Song Emperor, a Taiwan has not yet been completed, and now suddenly there is another Luzon to build, what will Zhao Tuan think!
