Chapter 159: The Machine Starts

For Xiao Yuan who suddenly appeared, Lin Yue's mood was still a little fluctuating, although Xiao Yuan did not attack Yancheng or Yuan Kingdom in this life, and he also did not kill his companions and Liu Yunshuang, but Lin Yue's hatred for Xiao Yuan in his previous life was still difficult to eliminate, so after hearing this Xiao Yuan who suddenly appeared, Lin Yue temporarily put down some of the work in his hand and personally led people to encircle and suppress.

Xiao Yuan didn't expect that he had only harassed the Yuanyan Coalition Army a few times, and he was immediately frantically surrounded and suppressed by the Yuanyan Coalition Army.

However, Xiao Yuan, who prides himself on being intelligent, disdains this, and is good at wandering, so he uses guerrilla harassment to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the Yuanyan coalition army in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the Yuanyan coalition army.

But what surprised him the most was that several times when he originally thought that he could avoid the Yuanyan coalition army, he was still chased by the Yuanyan coalition army, causing a lot of losses.

This made Xiao Yuan very puzzled, because his combat methods were a little special, and they could often have a surprising effect, but this was the first time he fought against the Yuanyan coalition army, and it was like being seen through, and every action could be caught by the Yuanyan coalition army.

What Xiao Yuan didn't know was that Lin Yue had fought with him for several years in his previous life, and he didn't know the truth about his character and combat methods, so Lin Yue led people to encircle and suppress Xiao Yuan, and the results were also very great, in less than ten days, he surrounded and suppressed them three times, and successfully killed or captured more than 600 soldiers, which made Xiao Yuan's forces suffer a heavy blow all at once.

Even the Yuanyan coalition army also found the territory of Xiao Yuan's forces, and carried out a concentrated attack on his town, so frightened that Xiao Yuan immediately admitted defeat and apologized, and then compensated some property to the Yuanyan coalition army, and promised not to harass the Yuanyan coalition army in any form.

Xiao Yuan confessed, Lin Yue did not continue to attack, but chose to retreat, of course, this does not mean that Lin Yue forgave their riotous actions, and even if it is possible, Lin Yue even wants to uproot Xiao Yuan's forces in one breath and directly eliminate them, but with the current deployable strength of the Yuanyan coalition army, it is really difficult to do.

The Yuanyan coalition army's attack on Xiao Yuan's forces seems ferocious, but whether it can really be won, Lin Yue has no bottom in his heart, because the forces available for him to deploy to attack are really limited, even if Xiao Yuan's forces can be eliminated in the end, the Yuanyan coalition army will suffer heavy losses, in this way, compared with the strength of the Broken Wolf Country, the mortal country will instantly become a disadvantage.

At this time, every step of the mortal country is like walking on thin ice, and once one step is wrong, it may be subjected to the crazy counterattack of the Broken Wolf Country.

After temporarily suppressing Xiao Yuan's forces, the materials transported by Yuan Yan and the two countries to the Fan Kingdom were still going on, and the Fan Kingdom was still developing steadily.

A real form of confrontation can only be regarded as truly taking shape at this time, and the two sides of the Mortal Kingdom and the Broken Wolf Country can now be said to be evenly matched, and they are both preparing for the next war.

At this time, the perspective was switched to the territory of the Yuan Kingdom, and when Lin Yue, Liao Huan and others led a large army to attack the Broken Wolf Country, the management and administration of the entire country fell into the hands of Zheng Hai.

In fact, from the establishment of the Yuan Kingdom to the present, Zheng Hai has made even more administrative decisions than Lin Yue.

For the people of the Yuan Kingdom, Zheng Hai's status was no less than that of Lin Yue. Therefore, during this period of Lin Yue's expedition, Zheng Hai still managed the Yuan Kingdom in an orderly manner, and everything was still developing in a good trend.

Nowadays, the Yuan country is also beginning to go through the stage of transformation, the development of the Yuan country to the present, in fact, there have been a lot of mechanized things, although these things are not much automatic, but it has promoted the rapid development of a lot of production, now the Yuan country is lacking, is a unified energy supply, and standardized mechanical production, of which the machine tool is the most representative.

As long as you can make a precise machine tool, and you have enough materials and energy, mechanized production can begin.

After three or four years of development, the people of the Yuan Kingdom have developed from scratch, and now they are not only able to have enough food and clothing, but also have changed their needs in other aspects, and now the goal is to restore to the level of the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century before the Great Crossing of Nations.

Whether it is gunpowder and firearms manufacturing, coal mine power generation or some motorized vehicles, it will be the goal of the Yuan Kingdom in the next three years, as long as this step of transformation is completed, the Yuan Kingdom can be regarded as the restoration of human civilization in the true sense.

In the previous life, it took ten years to reach the Broken Wolf Kingdom, but in this life, the Yuan Kingdom planned to do it in six years.

On January 5, the fourth year of the new calendar, after the holiday of the new calendar, Zheng Hai started the first step of transformation, which is to invest and support a large number of entrepreneurs to engage in the manufacture of machine tools.

These entrepreneurs have designed the corresponding machine tool manufacturing drawings a long time ago, but they lack the support and financial support of the Yuan policy, so they can only stay on paper.

The reason why Zheng Hai has not started these drawings and plans for a long time is that the basic development of the Yuan Kingdom has not yet reached that point, because there are many aspects that have not yet been synchronized.

In the whole year of the third year of the new calendar, Zheng Hai continued to synchronize the deployment of various aspects, and counted the needs and specifications of various manufacturing industries, and it was not until the fourth year of the new calendar that these plans were really carried out.

The manufacture of machine tools can also be regarded as the beginning of integrated production, and only when machine tools are manufactured and used in practice, other aspects of machinery manufacturing can be developed.

However, it is not correct to say that the manufacture of machine tools is only now, because there were many manual and simple machine tools that can produce some crude items, but there are great differences in the details, so it is difficult to standardize the production of products.

The subsidies initiated by Zheng Hai are all required to be refined in manufacturing and the specifications should be unified.

For example, it cannot be said that the screws made by this machine are different in size from the same screws made by another machine.

The machine tool program is only the first step in the transformation, and the next step is to establish a unified energy supply, at least in the industrial zone of the Yuan Kingdom.

Also a long time ago, there were professionals who planned the energy supply network in the territory of the Yuan Kingdom, especially in the industrial area.

In the past, although some small-scale generators were also used in the Yuan Kingdom, they could only be used for some small machinery, and once that kind of integrated production was to be carried out, it was necessary to have a stable and sufficient power grid to support it.

The establishment of a small-scale power grid is exactly what Zheng Hai will plan next. According to the latest results of the explorers, it is proved that there are indeed no large copper mines in a large area around the Yuan Kingdom, and only some small and impurity-rich minerals can be found.

Although we have not been able to find a good resource area, through mining and purification in the later stage, we can also refine a part of copper, which is relatively sufficient for the manufacture of wires.

As for what kind of electricity is used, with the current situation in the Yuan Kingdom, it is natural that coal can only be used to generate electricity, although this process will discharge a large amount of exhaust gas, causing environmental pollution.

But there is no way around it, because this is a consequence of industrialization, and this is no exception to all the countries on the earth before the Great Crossing.

It just depends on how the control is carried out in the later stage. However, in the process of building the power grid, all kinds of transformers, regulators and other precision instruments are the most difficult to solve, although there are corresponding professionals who understand the manufacture of these things, but the industrial heritage of the Yuan Kingdom is really not the corresponding machines and raw materials to manufacture.

The final solution can only be found in the previous car parts, and by dismantling some of the old machines that have come with the crossing, in the end it is barely able to make those precision instruments.

However, building a power grid is not a small project, especially for industrial manufacturing, so Zheng Hai is not so anxious about this aspect, and has planned enough time and personnel to carry out this project.

Only by solving the problem of machine manufacturing and power grid structure can the corresponding industrial products emerge one after another, and the restoration of the civilization of human beings on the earth before the Great Crossing can be truly realized.
