Chapter 159: Eyes Focused

In 1711, the world had been at peace for two years, but the contradictions in the world were only suppressed by exhaustion. People and groups with the same interests go together, such as Zhao Weiguo, an evolving officer, whose interests are very consistent with the current long-term interests of the Republic in the future. This unanimity has led to unimaginable industrial run-and-run development. However, the Hai Song Dynasty was in the post-war period to stabilize East Asia and prevent another short war from plunging the Hai Song into war again, so the industrial technologists had not yet withdrawn from the republic. There is no cessation of technical exchanges. It was not until the second half of 1711 that the Republic began to prepare for a major project.

10,000 tons of hydraulic press. In industry, materials are undeniably number one, followed by processing capacity. In this analogy, a stack of paper is stacked on top of each other and soaked in water, and each piece of paper sticks together to form a paper brick, but when the piece of paper is smashed into the ground, it will still break into two halves along the gap between the pages. And the paper bricks formed by pulping the paper are smashed on the ground, but they are worn out by at most one corner and will not be broken in half.

It can be said that holding a solid iron rod and fighting with the metal rod assembled with titanium alloy parts, and the result is that the metal rod assembled by titanium alloy parts is scattered into parts under the violent collision. It is not because the titanium alloy is worse than the iron rod material, but the solid iron rod is originally integrated, and the titanium alloy parts are assembled, that is, no matter how perfect the welding, no matter how neat the gap in the metal parts is, the molecular distance between the parts is larger than that between the solid iron rods, and it is easy to be cracked by external forces.

Therefore, many large parts of heavy machinery in the industry are integrated. For example, the bearings, propellers, and even pieces of armor of battleships are large chemical forgings. The fighter of the future will also be pressed with other small parts on a large piece of metal that has been forged into the fuselage. And the battleship main gun is even more so, a huge steel billet has been forged many times, drilled and formed, this is not playing with mud, and it cannot be pinched back after a forging error. Under normal circumstances, it is directly discarded.

And to manufacture these large forgings, if there is no superpower assistance, it will require a 10,000-ton hydraulic press. The 10,000-ton hydraulic press itself has hundreds of tons of parts, and the four columns need 200 tons of large steel ingots forging, which forms a paradox, if you want to manufacture 10,000-ton hydraulic presses, then you must import 10,000-ton hydraulic presses to forge these large steel ingots.

Then it is only possible to forge a larger hydraulic press with a small hydraulic press step by step. Ren Di didn't interfere in this step at all, although Ren Di's intervention would make this step very easy. But the hands of mortals, step by step to develop the processing capacity of 10,000 tons of hydraulic presses, the specific steps of how to do it is a very great wealth. If Ren Di wants to intervene like this, Zhao Weiguo and several other evolution officers will work hard with Ren Di, because the base of Zhao Weiguo of the 10,000-ton hydraulic press cannot be built now. Zhao Weiguo lacked the knowledge to produce 10,000 tons of hydraulic presses step by step under poor conditions.

Of course, Ren Di himself will not interrupt this step. Although Ren Di is talented and can develop by leaps and bounds, the more detailed the small steps, the more refined the development path will be. In case one day, Ren Di needs to instruct some of the levies to develop industries in very distant places without the assistance of softening the force field. This chain of knowledge is very crucial.

The factory in the northern Anhui industrial base first tried to make a 1,200-ton hydraulic press, and then this major project began in 1711. Groups of workers around the giant steel parts in the factory were electrically welded, and blinding flashes flickered frequently in the factory. It is expected that when the first domestic 10,000-ton hydraulic press appears, it will take at least five years. During this time, all the large-scale forging work was done by Ren Di.

However, the republic's move to produce its own large-scale industrial machinery soon made the Haisong people know, and before the establishment of the republic, the 3,000-ton forging press of the Ming Dynasty in the Shanghai shipyard was directly destroyed. The aim is to deny the republic the ability to build large ships.

In the future, the scene of all-round competition and confrontation between Haisong and the Republic in all aspects has basically become a foregone conclusion. Being able to find a little fork in the republic is something that the elders of the Hai Song Dynasty want to do in their dreams, but it is a pity that the people who left the country and ran away from Dongming in the early days of the republic. Now they have all changed to Dongming nationality, and the republic will not let them come back. That's why no one in the republic reads books or whatever. Although the Republic of China continues to maintain exchanges with Shanghai as a window in terms of technology and foreign trade. However, it is not at all like Europe that sends a large number of international students.

Now Tsinghua University in Haisong can be said to be world-famous. The royal families and aristocrats throughout Europe studied the legal politics of the Hai Song Dynasty, hoping to bring an advanced political system to the country. Let the country be rich and prosperous. In Shanghai, the Hai Song people told the members of Shanghai's foreign trade department for a long time that the advanced government will bring democracy and freedom, and everyone will live better under the free air. As a result, the foreign trade members of Shanghai touched their heads after listening to it for a long time. He asked, "Someone has to produce and make wealth, right?" ”

A member of the Republic of Haisong said with a smile: "Under the multi-party democratic system, innovative and positive thinking will inevitably be born. Social wealth will explode in this atmosphere. The member of Shanghai Foreign Trade replied with a smile: "I see that the workers in the factory are very tired, they are working very hard, can you give us the 87 machine tool you use first." I am sure that your country, which cares about us as a friendly country, will not refuse our request. ”

Of course, this made the Haisong infiltration department, which was trying to influence the Republic in thinking, very speechless. Now the whole republic has been brainwashed into an industrial party, which wants to build roads first and fertilize abundantly. Only with industry can there be chemical fertilizer, and only with technology can we build fertilizer furnaces with high yield. Now the rural areas of the republic understand this truth. The propaganda department of the republic directly printed the return of industry to agriculture into popular science comics. At the same time, compulsory education places equal emphasis on science and engineering.

The Republic now has a purpose that can be agreed upon nationwide. The national unanimity here is not a strategy of expansion led by the army for the sake of medals, but a strategy led by workers. The former is a militaristic fascist state, and the latter is what Ren Di doesn't know, anyway, the expansion strategy depends on non-stop wars and non-stop victories to maintain. The development of the latter's industry and the improvement of the ability to manufacture tools are the eternal themes of the progress of human civilization. If this is wrong, then Ren Di doesn't know what's right.

In New Bianjing, the Senate Hall is the same as it was a few years ago, the same luxury, but the atmosphere today is a little anxious. The lonely senator, who was in charge of the intelligence service, reported the numbers and finally concluded: "To sum up, the republic maintains a junior worker's salary at a quarter of our salary, and a material research and development engineer at a tenth of our salary. Since their markets were closed, the nascent nation effectively distributed its revenues to the people in the industrial sector who valued them most. So the number of industrial population, which is about to surpass our country in six years, is now being driven at a lower cost than our country. In addition, their financial revenues controlled the production of various light industries and civilian goods, pots and pans, salt and grain, and all kinds of industries that could have been made by the private sector were all run by their governments. That is to say, every penny of economic profits in their country is sucked into the state revenue. And then those finances are used where we least want them. The cost of each worker for the entire industrial operation to turn raw materials into industrial goods, I think they have already planned, and raw materials, they do not import from us, nor export, all the mines are nationalized by them. Therefore, it cannot be included in the financial cost of their government. ”

After the Lonely Patriarch finished reporting, the entire Patriarch Hall erupted in a buzz. Liu Yiming said jokingly: "The only good news is that they have not used their industrial capacity for the military industry." Wen Lan thought of what his father said before he died: "If you fall behind, you will be beaten." Thinking of this, Wen Lan said in a muffled voice: "They don't need to fight, because they are very likely to throw us down at the current pace......"

Liu Yiming smiled exaggeratedly and said: "How is it possible, we have such a vast global market, as well as a large area of land and mineral resources. ”

Wu Xingchen interjected: "Mineral resources, just enough, the country on the road has no shortage of mineral resources in a short period of time, and in terms of the population that uses mineral resources, we occupy a disadvantage." The population here should be industrial. In Nanyang, most of the population is dependent on the plantation economy. The goal of the people there is to inherit the family plantation. South Africa, where gold is abundant, and animal husbandry. Where to graduate from school, where the most desired career choice for people is farming, and looking for gold mines. Our headquarters in Australia transports iron ore from northern Australia to our industrial cities in eastern Australia for smelting, forming a heavy industrial circle. However, now we feel that Australia cannot support a larger population locally. According to the era of advanced agriculture recorded by our data, Australia could support a maximum of between 20 million and 30 million people.

But do you think that Australia is the only place that is the core of our strength, and South America and North America are the sources of our food and raw materials? In the future, our core of a powerful industry that dominates the world, due to the lack of industrial population, our core region is destined to be limited by the total industrial population. If you can't find a breakthrough. In the future, we will only be able to compete with the hundreds of millions of people gathered on the East Asian continent with an industrial population of 20 to 30 million.

Consider how Great Britain was weakened as a core of the population that we have documented as a core region that could no longer rule over a large colony. ”

At this time, the elder of Haisong Sun Yang said: "Why can't we open factories in other densely populated coastal areas and establish industrial belts around the world?" Zhang Shijie immediately retorted: "This is impossible, if we want to let the population of other areas run into the factory from the leisurely pastoral era, unless we launch a sheep cannibalism campaign to drive the agricultural population there into the factory." If we do so, we will inevitably provoke opposition from the people of the various territories separated by oceans. They don't see the situation in other territories and will think that we are deliberately persecuting them. ”

People can enjoy the convenience of industrialization, but no one wants to suffer from industrialization. You let a group of young people in the area who are proud to be farmers spend their energy and youth studying science and then working in factories? Who is so stupid? This is the case in the current society of the Hai Song Dynasty, where the wrench is not used to make money by the hired workers of farmers who have mechanized ploughing, there is no gold panning to make money, there is no digging for oil and cutting wood to make money. This is tolerable if the industrial population is all clustered together and there is no clear income gap to compare. If the kid next door is leisurely and relaxed, he will get more money than me, a blue-collar worker. Then blue-collar workers must not continue. This is a matter of national value orientation and the distribution of interests. This problem was already buried in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Some of the patriarchs did not start out in industry, but they had a flexible business acumen and earned a lot of personal wealth.

The elders of the Hai Song Dynasty were aware of this problem, and this problem was very complicated, and the strategy to be decided involved the industrial interests of the various families of the Hai Song Dynasty.

However, one thing is certain, Australia is no longer suitable as the political and administrative center of the Senate, and it is necessary to find a continent on the earth that can accommodate hundreds of millions of people. Only such a continent will allow industrial development to be carried out in various regions without the phenomenon of the distribution of industries leading to the phenomenon of wars of independence. In other words, it is possible to rely on the maneuvering of the railways to get the power of the state's violent machine and army from one end to the other in a single day, and the territory is rich and not narrow.

There are very few such lands in the world, and the Chinese region of the East Asian continent is the most obvious God-given land, all the plains that can support a large population are connected to each other by roads, with abundant precipitation, and after the railway line is perfected, the national power can be directly reached in two days, from east to west, north and south, and there is no need to float at sea for ten days to cross the ocean to suppress. And the local ethnic group has the same culture as the Hai Song Dynasty and has a natural unified thinking. It's a pity that in order to become an empire on which the sun never sets, Hai Song strategically focused on robbing colonies. This opportunity was lost.

Europe is also such a zone, but unfortunately it is all white, and it is divided into many ethnic groups, and the language and culture are not uniform. On the South American continent, this wild jungle should be developed slowly. Africa's resources are good, but Uncle Black's natural IQ and EQ are touching. It would be a disaster to let these black uncles with 250 intelligence and lazy bonuses engage in industrialization. Then there was only one place left, and the elders of the Hai Song Dynasty once again set their sights on the American continent.
