Chapter Seventy-Seven: Expansion
There is a saying among the senior officers of the evolution battlefield that the base is the basic force and the tinder. The source of the power of knowledge is the fuel that turns the spark into a torch.
And now Ren Di's comment is that if you want to learn knowledge, you must learn a full set. If you can't make a comprehensive breakthrough in the industry, even if any aspect is advanced, you still have to wait for your own shortcomings in the end. Even if it absorbs the advanced technology of others, it is still partial. Some technologies reach advanced standards, but they are not assisted by other parts of the matching industries. Once people don't give it to you, even if a part of globalization in peacetime joins the advanced production system and becomes a developed country, as long as the war is together and there is a blockade, the prosperous countries in the peacetime era will instantly return to the original form of developing countries, because after the shortcomings are highlighted, the country will not be assisted by globalization, and it will find that the shortcomings will still develop after all.
The laboratory for mineral processing was quickly established, and the iron ore in Huoqiu and the coal mine in Suzhou in Huainan were quickly sorted according to the standards on the ore specimens after rigorous laboratory testing, and then the ore was smelted according to the classification required by various smelting methods. Batches of iron and steel that were far superior to those in the Huaibei base area in the past were quickly smelted.
In the past, when you caught steel, you can cast guns, fight knives, and the era of steel is over. Instead, a variety of classified steels for various exclusive uses. Here, Ren Di's natural ability is vividly displayed. It is the ability to process materials. And the ability to process materials is not constant. The same steel is softened to the point where the wood can be machined, but it is not necessary to soften it to the extreme. It can also be softened to the point that carbon steel machinery can be processed.
When the fifteen-ton converter is rapidly tapped, in the Huaibei Group A processing plant, the high-carbon steel rails are quickly copied like a printer. In just two weeks, a 50-ton-per-day ammonia reactor was then processed.
Coal and iron composite, three acids and two alkalis. Pure logistical talent kicks in. Push the word evolution in the battlefield to the limit. Four months after the Battle of Huaibei. The equipment in Fuyang Industrial Base was in place and began to debug and produce. The boiled water in the boiler passes through a red-hot coal reactor and turns into carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The gas passed through a huge steel tube and then into the No. 2 reactor. Under the action of iron oxide and chromium trioxide catalysts at high temperatures, they react with water vapor to become carbon dioxide and hydrogen. This method is the water gas hydrogen production method, compared with the electrolysis hydrogen production method in the Republic of China era. This method is characterized by a large output. Only this method of hydrogen production can reduce the cost of ammonia synthesis to an acceptable level.
Hydrogen and nitrogen are circulated in the reactor and the chemical reaction of nitrogen fixation begins. This chemical reaction involves all aspects of the entire industry, and if people who don't know anything try it, the synthetic ammonia reactor is bound to explode. And it doesn't necessarily take a few explosions in a row to find the cause. The reason is that hydrogen corrodes steel at high temperatures and pressures. It reacts with the carbon in the steel, causing the steel to bulge with a bag-like crispy skin. And then it blew up. Therefore, the reactor should be forged together layer by layer, and then the austenitic stainless steel lining is inside. The welding part of the whole set of equipment should be covered with copper rings. Of course aluminum is better. It's a pity that Ren Di's power industry is still experimenting.
Ren Di looked at the design drawings provided by Zhao Weiguo's experts, and personally participated in the whole assembly, and the industrial zone with coal as energy and steel as the trunk was born in his own hands within a few months. Such a huge project. Reflected in my heart, a feeling of pride stirred.
Looking at the workers present who had completed a round of production according to the standards, Ren Di said to the cadres of the northern Anhui base area who rushed to inquire about it: "From today onwards, the weapons and firepower of the army in our northern Anhui base area are definitely not at the level of turtles. No tactical strategy is invincible, but the most effective way to crack the mushroom tactic is to industrialize and turn more than 70 percent of the country's population into an industrial population."
The composite production of steel from coal and iron, and then the use of steel production equipment again, has become an economic model of exponential growth of steel mills. This economic model grows with only three constraints. The first is population. Sufficient population to provide skilled workers who receive training. The second is the equipment. The third is raw materials.
The railway leading to the Fuyang Industrial Zone, which is dozens of kilometers away, was quickly laid to the coalfield under the effect of sufficient railways and mobilization orders. The coalfield, with an average depth of 27 meters, was pointed out by Haisong prospectors 20 years ago, and then the local landlord couldn't resist the temptation of profit and wanted to become a coal mine owner and start mining. Now Republic has supplied large-scale steam-powered drilling and excavation equipment. Although there are fewer miners than in the past, mining volumes are starting to skyrocket. In terms of steel mill equipment, Ren Di is nakedly cheating with his own talent. In the secret factory of Group A, dozens of tons of hydraulic presses are pressed out of the level of thousand-ton hydraulic presses. And the speed is not reduced.
Hot ball machines are sent to the fields one by one, providing power. This has offset the shortage of human and animal power caused by the war. Batches of soldiers who were strictly disciplined were transferred to the factories, and these soldiers did not need to understand the principles of machinery, but only strictly obeyed the rules and regulations of production. As for the principle of production machinery, it can be talked about slowly later. As for R&D capabilities, Ren Di can only pin on the next generation. When the next generation, who have learned a lot of knowledge, enters the factory and tries to understand the reasons for the production of each part of the industry with their own knowledge, and verifies their ideas with a spirit of experimentation, the impetus for the industrial system to develop more closely will be established.
Flattening the world, when the industrial system appeared, Ren Di understood that the Ming Dynasty would not have any power to stop him from flattening, but when would it sweep across the entire East Asian continent to complete the unification of the Chinese continent in the sense of the Chinese continent? It's just a matter of time.
When the industrial zone is built. Ren Di immediately sent a telegram to the Party Central Committee in Guizhou, reporting that "in 1704, the output of steel in the northern Anhui industrial zone can reach 400,000 tons, and the output of synthetic ammonia can reach 50,000 tons...... per year." "To the south, the Ma'anshan to Lujiang Yancheng fault zone is pyrite. Perfect your tri-acid and two-base industry. To the west there is chrome ore in Huangshi, Hubei Province. ”
The strategic direction Zhao Weiguo has already pointed out to Ren Di. In the past few months, Zhao Weiguo has supported the north to Kechong and entered the Chengdu-Chongqing Plain. To the south, Li Ziming's supply channel was opened. Li Ziming's army began to approach the famous port of Guangzhou. Lu Ming, who waited north for rapid-fire weapon support, began to re-engage in Shaanxi activities.
The Ming Dynasty, which lasted for decades, lived because of one wave of traversers, and perished because of the social push of another wave of traversers.
Ren Di once wanted to exchange a wave of captives in his hands for a batch of special materials. But Daming's style has not changed. Yongcheng not only did not do it, but also imitated his ancestor's policy of not entering Mobei for the Mongols. Order a trade blockade order. However, the sorrow of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is that whatever he seals, the people below will do, and use it as a trading channel. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty forbade the sea, and as a result, the Ming Dynasty became a silver black hole due to trade over. Chongzhen's blockade of the Manchurian wild boar skin trade led to the Jin merchants luring wolves into the house.
When Yongcheng's trade ban was publicly announced in the newspapers, Ren Di's small extravagant hopes were shattered. Ordered the army to sweep through Huainan. Construction of base areas. encountered a small group of less than 5,000 Ming troops and was directly annihilated on the spot. More than 5,000 Ming troops then ran with them, and then the countryside surrounded the city. However, just three days later, the troops operating in the south told Ren Di that the south was going to sell special steel. Ren Di, who was having a headache about how to upgrade the reactor steelmaking furnace next, was speechless for a while and said: "Capitalism will eventually sell us the noose in which we hanged them." The Ming Emperor expressed his feelings for a while, but he advertised the need for special steel in northern Anhui
What kind of spirit is this, the spirit of benefiting the small family, and pit everyone. Ren Di sent back telegram instructions on the spot -- asking for prices, bargaining, buying, buying, buying.
So on the edge of the Yangtze River, steel measurement and inspection experts in the northern Anhui base area, under the protection of the army, inspected 50 tons of special steel, and then dropped three tons of silver coins. The boat, which carried fifty tons, fell into the hands of the Red Republican Army.
And then this trade went on and on. Between the Huaibei and the Huaihuai, the precious metals among the landlords who were raided reached a trade in this way. This gang of black-hearted businessmen purchased goods from the port of Shanghai, and then directly changed the logo of the goods, and went north along the river at night to complete the transaction with the Red Republican Army.
Pity the many soldiers captured by the Red Republican Army. Their Emperor His Majesty refused to compromise for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. However, in the end, Ren Di succeeded.
The camera switched, Zhu Yuerong, Her Royal Highness the princess who was knocked down from the sky. It's been five months as a prisoner in the Republican Zone. The eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, who claimed to be martial since she was a child, grew up fighting with Yongchengzhong, and when she was in the rebellious period of youth, Zhu Yuerong pointed to her brother's nose many times and said: "If I were a man, I would grab the dragon chair with you." That time, Yongcheng also quarreled with Zhu Yuerong and said on the spot: "Believe it or not, I will marry you to Nanyang in the future." The princess said proudly on the spot: "You are really not as good as me, and you don't pay tribute if you don't get along." The Son of Heaven guards the country. ”
But a quarrel between the brother and sister is a quarrel after all. The throne will never be snatched by the younger sister. As the years grew up, Yongcheng began to make his sister. However, in this war, if Yongcheng knew that Zhu Yuerong was still alive, he would talk to Ren Di at any price. Of course, Ren Di didn't know that the eldest princess of Daming fell into his hands. It is very clear in the newspapers of the Ming Empire that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was martyred. And in the battle under the city of Fuyang, the planes of the Imperial Army made several sorties to try to save the besieged Imperial Army, and twenty planes were shot down. Due to the ultra-low-altitude flight of these aircraft, the survival rate of the pilots is only 30 percent. And four more are severely disabled.
Looking at the appearance of these poor girls being devastated by the war, Ren Di just asked for a review without asking, where was the body of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. As a result, after several female pilots met, they insisted on the spot that the charred corpse in a plane on the battlefield was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. Of course, Ren Di was not there at that time. If Ren Di was there, he could definitely see something from the expressions of these girls. And those censors of dirt buns were deceived by these ghost elf girls. The main focus of the examiners in the Huaibei base area is to screen the infantry of the Imperial Army, and to examine the crimes issued by the Imperial Army by understanding the route of the Imperial Army's infantry in Huaibei. As for the female pilots, it is clear that they do not look like those who committed robbery and murder and committed vicious criminal cases. So the censorship was gently let go.
In the first few days of his captivity, Zhu Yuerong always carried a short-handled dagger that he carried with him. Anxiously waiting, as the bloodline of the glory of the empire, Zhu Yuerong would never allow the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty Jingkang royal women to happen to him.
But imagining that something bad didn't happen, and some of the rebels were secretly watching them, but none of them dared to leave the queue. Soon, Zhu Yuerong found out that this was a rebel army with a very strict military aircraft. It's very strange that loyal to the monarch and patriotism, protecting the territory and the people, these words are said by the imperial army three times a day. Zhongjun is real. As for An Min, the Imperial Army somewhat thought of a mercy for the civilians from the high knights. And this rebel seems to be doing it as a norm, and if it doesn't, it will be punished.
The phrase "We are the people's soldiers" was quickly interpreted, and Zhu Yuerong had a strange feeling about this rebel. One is the people, the shepherds settle like the sheep. High up in the settlement arrangement. And the other low-profile self-proclaimed son.
Soon, a female soldier took Zhu Yuerong and a group of captured pilots to start the training, changing into the velvet supple and heroic imperial army uniform. Changed into a blue cloth costume made of coarse cotton. Zhu Yuerong began to adapt from not adapting. The red book was placed in front of Zhu Yuerong. The female Republican soldier who led the guide said: "Mushroom Liang, if you join us today, you must understand our thoughts, you may come from a wealthy family. Maybe it's a little uncomfortable, but now the times are playing out. The tide of hundreds of millions of people smashing shackles cannot be violated. I, a rural mushroom cool, are above the waves of this tide, and you may be dismissive of me. But after all, all rural mushrooms like me will be on this tide and push this tide forward. You can still be dismissive, but we will push it firmly, and I and people like me will fight against all the forces that try to stand in our way. ”
Zhu Yuerong suddenly felt a battle of excitement, this kind of excitement Zhu Yuerong once shouted in the history books that his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang shouted between the lines that the Hu people have no luck for a hundred years. Feel it. Let the Yuan Dynasty at that time preach its own orthodoxy. Countless civilians who fought against the Yuan army insisted that the Mongols, as aliens, must be driven out. It's like, "Whatever you say, I just think I should do it." If you don't accept it, you will come to war. Look who is strong" encounters this kind of insistence and resistance to themselves, and does not compromise, and they still have opponents who can not be beaten, and anyone is a headache.
"What happened to these docile subjects of the Empire?" Zhu Yuerong wanted to know the reason very much.
