August 109 of the Holy Gu calendar, Trade Wind City.

With the start of the war in the north, ships have been coming and going more frequently lately, and the docks are filled with the steam of these paddle steamers.

The Ranlun has passed an aid bill to provide firearms and ammunition and other weapons to the locust forces in the north, and to export important strategic materials such as mechanical processing facilities.

The Flying Locust family actually wanted to buy equipment like the Armored Ox Tank.

For this reason, the thin-skinned Yu Qian had to take the initiative to click on the remote communication with Zeyou.

At that time, the Zhou You, who was still on the ship, replied very clearly: "The locusts now need our overall military intervention the most, and the follow-up arms sales are the steps to be carried out after our corps stabilizes the situation." ”

Sublicit meaning: "The series of equipment such as main battle tanks and fighters is not equipped with a military system, and it is very likely that the investment is like water at a loss, so it is necessary to fight a wave to first determine the dominance of the burning wheel, and then carry out military reform for the locusts and comprehensively change their equipment." ”

Yu Qian lowered her head and listened to Zhou You's explanation with a flushed face, overturning the last worry that some people in the family always chewed "Zhou You didn't want to help her".

In fact, Yu Qian intellectually determined the message that the burning wheel would join the war, because the war machine was turned on in all directions.

Large-scale bond issuance in finance! And this form of bond, the entire middle and lower levels of the Burning Wheel may not yet realize that this is a bond. Large quantities of silver coins were quickly manufactured, and then the silver coins with these digital codes were soldered together, mounted on glass plates, and issued to the market. As long as the seal is not opened after ten years, after the bank confirms, it will be returned to the loose currency according to 5% of the profit.

In this way, the banks of the burning wheel issued a large amount of silver coinage in excess of the amount.

A large amount of money entering the market will logically cause inflation, and this is how Spain and the Ming Dynasty are finished. However, in the Great Song Dynasty, copper coins were minted every year, but the result was deflation every year - because everyone (including a series of surrounding countries) was all stored in cellars and not circulated in the market.

The modern capitalist state will scientifically control this phenomenon and forcibly stimulate the enthusiasm of the present labor force through the state's overdraft of future money. In peacetime, it is used for competition in the technology industry, and in wartime, mobilization is directly completed.

Of course, in peacetime, this kind of increase in competitiveness through the issuance of bonds is purely in accordance with commercial rules, and if it continues, the country's credibility will be overdrawn and bankrupt sooner or later. But if someone goes bankrupt before themselves, then that's fine. Whoever is the first industrialized country to hold out will wage war if it is able. Of course, once the war is lost, all the high-quality assets will be plundered by other countries to eliminate the deficit for other countries.

Ranlun is now also engaged in this set, and the government and the central government have a large amount of funds all of a sudden.

Internally: As long as the market price is stable, money is valuable. The inside of the combustion turbine starts like a turbocharger. From small factory owners to ordinary workers, they are all rushing to make money and complete one order after another.

Externally: The economy of the burning wheel is frantically scavenging for minerals throughout the 'Boom' region.

So much so that the following situation has arisen. - The silver coins of the Burning Wheel are now directly circulated to the nobles under the command of the Absolute Firefly.

These nobles received bribes to acquiesce in the purchase of important supplies from the northern-controlled territories, and even sold artisans as slaves to the south. In other words, the burning wheel, which issued a large number of bonds, is now using the materials in the control area of the Absolute Firefly to be hostile to the Absolute Firefly!

Zhou You: This debt is very good to be repaid.

The policy of burning wheels is a purely capitalist means. However, this method has the positive effect of winning the war, but it also has some side effects.

Prior to this, in order to protect the rights of workers, the law stipulated four shifts within the fire wheel.

Since capitalism had just emerged, there was still some majesty equivalent to that of a feudal lord in the Burning Wheel. These capitalists are not very bold, and no one dared to defy the law a few years ago.

But now, before the wartime system was opened. At present, many of the following companies have ordered a large number of production lines and directly carried out a ten-hour work day. Some even work 12 hours a day, in two shifts.

Because within the workers' bloc now stands with the bosses, as if they were a class. It is against the law to support the factory in a group. At this time, if you want to enforce the law, it is precisely the workers in the factory who are fighting against it.

Now the law set up in advance by the Celestial Tour has existed in name only.

In the absence of the historical process, the workers themselves broke the advanced laws that protected them. It seems that this "homework" will have to wait for the people of this world to complete it themselves in the future.

……

Returning to the national level, this kind of bond issuance, Zeyou believes that the burning wheel is true.

If it is an agrarian country, the top is the comprador class, and there is no industrial system to reproduce and generate value on its own, and it is terrible to overdraft the money in the future. Actual silver coins can be turned into gold yuan after the war.

However, the burning wheel is now an industrial country, and as long as the Northern War is won, a series of raw material origins and populations will be included in the jurisdiction, and the accounts can definitely be erased.

And now up and down Xia Hong Island, everyone knows that the face value of the silver coins issued by the Federation far exceeds the number of consumer goods on the market now. However, the bank used its credibility to ensure that the silver coins would not depreciate, and everyone was holding on to the silver coins and were willing to spend them in the future.

In fact, as the scale of industrial output will gradually increase, the government will issue bonds during the war, and the money that flows into the hands of the people will sooner or later be recovered in the consumption tax that will be paid year after year after the war ends.

In wartime, it is the government that consumes and uses production capacity. After the war, the government wanted the people to consume and feed the production capacity.

Finance here is about bridging the credibility required by different people at different times. Let everyone be able to work at the most suitable time, and when they may need to consume in the future, burst out of labor enthusiasm. It will not cause the lack of demand when you have the ability to work, and waste the summer like a butterfly.

On the rock crystal star, such a greedy industrial society that wants to expand, has shown its claws.

……

In the port of Trade Wind City, as a large number of materials were shipped out, a large number of immigrants were constantly being brought in.

In this war, the population was negative equity in other lieges' lands. After all, in a war that is simply a struggle for power without righteousness, decision-makers are very realistic, and they will definitely discard "things" that have no value.

In this world, the means of agricultural production were usurped by the knight lords, the military industry was replaced by Gu worms, and ordinary people were only valuable when they became slaves. As for the other freedmen who had previously lived on the 'three industries', they were basically abandoned.

[Oh, young women, who are scarce assets everywhere, are also taken care of more in wartime. 】

If there is no celestial tour to descend on the rock crystal star, there is no surprise, in this battle for imperial power, there will be a population inflection point. And because the space for the human species to thrive disappears, this inflection point will never rise again. Humanity will go extinct when it doesn't even pay attention.

Now, however, the Ranlun is unlocking an industrial miracle.

Xishui Harbor, Xiahong Island, and a series of industrial cities along the southern coastline are all short of people, and the wars in the north have left the lords in desperate need of military goods. This led to the second great concentration of humanity.

Compared to the last time the population was concentrated by the Gu worm flood to the seaside city, this time there are no slums, but chimneys of heavy industry.

Men, women and children undergo medical examinations and then separate into different camps where they are trained in skills by instructors.

Because of this class, the future is to enter the production line, and these instructors are comparable to middle school teachers in the 21st century. In order to demand a good team of workers, the capitalists are very concerned about the training of instructors.

In the concrete walkways and metal railings, people in gray-blue uniforms began to line up, shouting slogans and starting to form a line. Discipline, literacy, collaboration, and basic health are the same as a student's gaokao scores.

In the camp, the instructors wake up the earliest and sleep the latest, and are very concerned about everyone's diet every day. Moreover, he has been thinking about becoming a doctor for all kinds of patients for a long time, which touches these immigrants.

11th, 10 a.m.

A 7,000-ton ironclad battleship was docked on the shore, its rivets as solemn as coat buttons.

The three huge launch canisters on the armored ship, in the sunlight, have a slightly brutal hideous feeling.

Jumping down from the gray-blue bow of the ship, his knees slightly bent, he half-crouched on the concrete floor of the pier, and cushioned the impact with elastic force. Of course, such an active performance made Lu Boya's heart skip a beat, and after seeing that Zhou You was fine, he exhaled helplessly.

After getting along with each other over the years, Lu Boya knows that she, a teacher, is masculine and highly responsible, and behaves well in the eyes of everyone, but when there are few people, she always shows a trace of skin.

Lu Boya looked at the celestial tour on the dock that had returned to its serious gait, and commented in his heart: "What a vigorous energy!" ”

……

Three days later, through several surveys were carried out on a number of related production sites, such as individual weapons factories and electrified forging factories.

The tour and all the students in charge of industry gathered to discuss military armaments.

The highest technical department of the factory has tested a lot of northern blue gold Gu worms. - Especially for the electro-shot mosquito, there are several such corpses on the test bench. The metal skeleton and polymerized wing membrane made the technicians of the burning wheel marvel at the diversity of the biological production system of the Northern Gu Nest.

Of course, no one is empty. In terms of diversity, Linlong, a transformed Gu worm, docks with various standard weapons, and is more changeable than the Northern Gu Nest.

On the test bench, Zeuyou personally inspected the long launch tube with a matrix. Good guys, this creature formed an electromagnetic acceleration pipe! According to the technical classification system, it is a re-artillery.

[There are two types of electromagnetic cannon technology, one is a railgun and the other is a coil gun. 】

The railgun projectile is in contact with the track, and the barrel is easily worn during high speeds.

The coil cannon allows the projectile to be suspended internally without wear, but how to control the constant power becomes a problem.

And the reconnect gun, two pipes with square interfaces, the shells are suspended in the gap between the squares. It is a structurally integrated design of two types of electromagnetic guns: there is no pipe contact ablation, and peak acceleration can be maintained. It is the culmination of electromagnetic cannon technology.

However, this has very high requirements for electrical control design and superconducting materials.

According to the knowledge of Zeus, this is a level of science and technology that can only be achieved in the Chinese nuclear era.

By the standards of the pre-nuclear era, the development of the atomic bomb and the application of fission reactions were many. The criterion for nuclear neutrality is to complete controlled nuclear fusion.

Controlled nuclear fusion involves a leap in superconducting technology. The Gu worm of the Absolute Firefly can directly cross this threshold in microscopic and nano manufacturing.

But for Ranlun, to complete this technology, it is simply playing human organ culture in the Huatuo era? ——In the Eastern Han Dynasty, people could see the health of other people's organs, but people just couldn't make them with technology......

"But that's okay." "This kind of partial door design consumes a lot of power, I don't believe that you don't have engine technology, and you can still have a vehicle that moves quickly with an electromagnetic cannon!" ”

To deal with airborne mosquitoes, just produce more missiles. The main thing to guard against is the possibility of electromagnetic cannons on the ground.

In this regard, the idea of traveling to the sky is:

1. Directly upgrade the tank gun, and the barrel should be mixed with rare earths, nickel-chromium and other elements to ensure that the chamber pressure increases.

2. Research and development of new long-rod armor-piercing bullets.

3. At the same time, the further development of the optical equipment of the enhanced lenses to accurately control the fire control system of the tank.

4. Isn't Tianqi Chongtan coming out? That thing has been looking at itself a little weird, hey, such a large platform, dismantle the structure of a cannon, and thicken the front armor, isn't it okay!

The middle door is against the sniper! See who's accurate enough, the nail is thick...... But he didn't wait for the idea of traveling to expand in the minds of the industrial platform and the other students. Lu Boya took the lead and expressed her strange thoughts.

……

Before returning to the island, Lu Boya took out the works she had prepared from the warehouse.

Xia Hong Island, the largest automation laboratory hall. A pure steel lifting platform that rises slowly from the ground.

"Bang dang, bang dang..."After the steel frame stabilizer was unraveled, a large mech took steps and walked into the exercise ground.

Above is a tank turret with a cylindrical viewing mirror protruding in the center like a central eye, a 100 mm gun, and a pair of thick mechanical feet on the chassis.

The power is electricity, so in operation, in addition to the humming sound of the motor starting, there is also the creaking sound of the gas turbine.

When this thing appeared in front of Zeyou, it fired ten shots, and all of them hit the bull's-eye on the target 1,500 meters away. The fire control system is clearly doing a particularly good job.

Zhou You glared at Lu Boya, his head was a little cloudy,—— how much he liked mecha as a student! Why not use this on tanks? Alas, it's all to blame for you (the Rock Crystal Star Nobles) level is too bad.

In the "contemplation" (daze) of the Celestial Tour.

Lu Boya said suggestively: "This is a cyclops mecha, which can move with the tank." The tank provides cover for its feet and strikes secondary behemoth targets, while the Cyclops mech snipes at key targets in the distance. ”

After Lu Boya finished speaking with a high spirit.

Zeyo asked the other students around him, "What do you think?" "—Zeusyou wants to hear some different opinions.

The other students, however, seem to be still in awe of the Cyclops' powerful mechanical drawing style. Although they have their own tracked vehicle schemes, they are now embarrassed to show their ugliness in front of Xueba's works.

Zhou You was stunned when he saw this, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart: "It seems that handsome is combat effectiveness, no matter what, don't be entangled." As for whether this weapon is practical or not? Let the people of this world practice it. ”

The drawings of the factory were reviewed in front of the review committee such as Zeyo in accordance with the procedure.

In the end, Zhou You picked up the pen and signed a batch of production contracts.

Lu Boya on the side was very happy about this, and began to strike while the iron was hot, his eyes rolled, so he made another request: "Mentor, what do you think of this badge?" ”

Zhou You paused and looked at the combination of the green, three-bar and Arabic numeral "7".

Zhou You couldn't help but ask Lu Boya, who was holding the information and carrying flat lenses on the side, "What does this mean?" ”

Lu Boya explained solemnly: "Well, the indigo part of the three horizontal bars symbolizes the belly of the insect, and this-" Her finger pointed to the sharp body of the '7' and said, "This is a sharp sword, symbolizing the soft belly of the golden beetle." ”

Zhou You rarely showed impatience with Lu Boya: "You have to get it, don't make so many pictures to understand." ”

Then I realized that my expression was very bad for the juniors.

So, the rollback never came.

Zhou You, who pretended to turn back in time, first took Lu Boya's information with both hands, then looked at the picture seriously, and then pointed out to Lu Boya again in a teaching tone: "The sign must be concise and easy to understand." ”

Lu Boya followed up with his acting skills, and asked even more "frustratedly": "There should always be a new weapon, a shining symbol?" ”

So, Zeuyou walked to the side of this mecha-

Zhou You solemnly picked up the wrench and screwdriver and placed them cross, turned his head and asked, "Isn't this symbol beautiful?" Well, I think it's quite pleasing to the eye, otherwise, the screwdriver will be replaced with a sickle, how, increase the momentum of the steel torrent. ”

After that, I unconsciously used a wrench to hit the steel plate, "Tick, tick, tick, tick, bell!" Clang! Bells, bells, bells, bells, bells—"

The expression on Lu Boya's face froze, and he lowered his head and muttered: "I'm working for nothing, and besides, isn't the burning wheel a capital force?" ”
