Chapter 1287: The Threshold of Industrial Society

Liu Shang wanted to get a glimpse of the mysteries of Haihan's military industry here, but he didn't know that this was only the origin of raw materials. All of Haihan's real military manufacturing units were concentrated in the Tiandu Industrial Zone in Sanya, on the one hand, for the needs of technical secrecy and production process arrangement, and on the other hand, for the security needs of consolidating Haihan's rule.

The Haihan Executive Committee was well aware that the territory under its control was extremely large, and many of them were thousands of miles overseas, and that political maintenance alone could not ensure long-term stable rule, and military repression would also play a great role. However, the garrison has been uncontrolled all year round, and it is not certain that after a long time, some generals will have other ideas, and at that time, maybe someone will have the audacity to launch a rebellion.

In order to put an end to this situation, the most effective way is, of course, to limit the supply of weapons and equipment. This restriction does not refer to simply controlling the quantity of weapons and ammunition supplied, but to exercise comprehensive control over weapons manufacturing technology and equipment, so that other places except Sanya do not have the ability to manufacture high-end weapons such as guns and warships in the army's installation. As long as the overseas colonies are unable to manufacture high-level weapons and equipment on their own, it will be difficult for anyone to rebel locally.

Therefore, although there are many military-related processing workshops in the Changhua Industrial Park, almost all of them are arranged to produce raw materials and blanks, and there are no workshops for processing key parts and assembling weapons. All the raw materials and components made and processed here are transported back to Sanya by ship for processing and assembly. While this would add a lot of money and time, it would certainly be worth the effort for the purpose of maintaining a solid rule.

However, for Liu Shang, a special person with a special mind, the harvest of this trip is extremely limited, smelting steel is both familiar and unfamiliar to him, he only thought that Changhua operated a relatively large scale of smelting industry before he came here, but after visiting it, he realized that there are too many professional knowledge in this industry that he does not understand. If you want to understand Haihan's smelting technology, it is definitely impossible to just look at it like this.

Although I have seen a lot of unheard of steam processing equipment, what I have seen is only used for rough processing of metal materials, and it has not yet involved the key links of real weapon manufacturing and assembly.

Of course, being able to see the advanced technology and production scale of Haihan smelting steel here is also very valuable information for Liu Shang's camp. Although the information he has is still relatively fragmentary and one-sided, it can at least be inferred that Haihan's attainments in smelting are as good as they are in other fields, and the metal products that can be manufactured are not only the weapons and household utensils he imagined before, but also the large-scale equipment used to process metal, and Haihan seems to attach more importance to these processing methods and equipment than to smelting steel.

Liu Shang was not sure in his heart, but he did not dare to ask Yu Xiaobao and others about this issue, because the tasks he undertook in this inspection group had nothing to do with industry, and it was inevitable that raising such a question would lead to the risk of attracting Zhang Qianzhi's attention.

However, in the subsequent propaganda activities, Yu Xiaobao's speech finally let Liu Shang know Haihan's general definition of industry. According to Haihan, the work and process of collecting raw materials and processing them into products can be called industry. Liu Shang felt that in this way, the Ming Dynasty actually had an industry, but it might not be as developed as Haihan.

However, in Xiaobao's next speech, he defined the industry owned by the Ming Dynasty as handicrafts, that is, the activities that basically rely on manual labor for production. The road that Haihan is going to take now is to let some domestic industries get out of the handicraft stage with low production efficiency and upgrade to the more advanced machine industry stage. That is, a new type of business that replaces manpower with machines and replaces manual labor with mechanized labor. This kind of machine industry is not only not in the Ming Dynasty, but also in other countries in the world has not yet appeared in a similar form, only the Haihan Kingdom is unique in the world, the first to enter the era of machine industry.
