Technology is a bit like a water valve, as long as you have enough strength to unscrew it, water will keep coming out.

And unscrewing this valve is electricity!

Li Xiao found that only ten years after the advent of electricity. A series of things that I have seen before have appeared!

Especially in the past ten years, Daming has continuously improved primary and secondary education. New things are springing up like mushrooms after a rain!

The most recent achievement is the Jinzhou Radio Research Institute, which converts sound into electromagnetic signals.

Then, a hundred kilometers away, it was restored by the receiver.

Moreover, the electromagnetic signal is restored very accurately, and even the tone of the human voice can be truly restored.

If a distance of 100 kilometers is to be set up, a transmitter is also erected, and then a receiver is installed.

Then, two people can communicate a hundred kilometers apart. In between, there is no transmission of telephone lines. Everything is in the air, through the airwaves.

When Xu Erjue rushed to report to Li Xiao, Li Xiao blinked his eyes. He felt that the walkie-talkie was about to appear.

But after seeing the real thing, Li Xiao was discouraged again.

This thing can be described in one word, and that is big.

Li Xiao didn't understand that a semiconductor radio could be made so big. It covers an area of 10 square meters, and with the machine cover outside, it is conservatively estimated that it must be 1 ton.

Anyway, when Li Xiao saw that the antenna was adjusted, the two strong men had to work together. After sweating down, he still blushed and said to Li Xiao that he was not tired.

Li Xiao found a problem, that is, it seems that all the samples made by things are stupid and coarse.

When the first radio transmitter was first developed, it was necessary to build a signal tower more than 100 meters high on the ground.

That thing occupies an area, no smaller than the thing in front of you.

After several years of continuous miniaturization, Daming's scientific researchers have successfully smashed the transmitter into the size of a piano.

In terms of the level of science and technology in these years, this is already a miracle.

Li Xiao felt that if he continued to develop at this rate, he might be able to use the walkie-talkie in his lifetime.

But think about it, the first computer that Americans developed was the size of a three-bedroom room. Li Xiao was also relieved, everyone came over like this.

The road should be taken step by step, and the meal should be eaten one bite at a time. It's easy to choke when you're in a hurry to eat, and it's easy to pull eggs when you take big steps.

When it comes to the United States, Li Xiao hates it to the root of his teeth.

In order to fight the British, he supported the war of independence in the North American territories. Although Daming obtained a lot of gold, it also cultivated a strong competitor.

Li Xiao never imagined that there would be a group of people like Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson in that place in the North American territory.

It was a real group of people who ran and designed a very simple and effective political system. In just ten years, the territory of North America has changed from a place of constant war to a place of stability and people's prosperity.

Just two years after the Revolutionary War, the elder Washington began to expand into the vast West.

The tragic fate of the Indians was thus doomed, and with the continuous extension of the railway, the Indians lost one piece of land after another.

The original owners of the land, the Indians, could only survive on the land that the Anglo-Saxons did not want.

The Hebrews seem to have been inherently compatible with the Anglo-Saxons, and the North American territory is still expanding. When the Anglo-Saxons were busy raising black slaves, growing cotton, rubber and corn.

The wise Hebrews have put down roots in this place of New York!

Only now did Li Xiao know that the so-called New York. In fact, it is the transliteration of our countrymen, and what New York really means is, New York!

Yorktown is a city in the south of England near Scotland. For nearly 2,000 years, it was the capital of the North of England, comparable to today's London.

In the British Royal Navy, a warship named Yorktown appeared more than once.

It turned out that the North American territory of New York was originally occupied by the Dutch. They named this natural harbour New Amsterdam, a metaphor for the fact that it is as good a place to visit as Amsterdam.

Then the British came, and the Anglo-Saxons didn't care about that. The British soldiers who missed their homeland used the names of their British hometowns to name settlements in the New World, and New York was one of them.

In Li Xiao's memory, New York rose with the rise of the Grand Canal. But I didn't expect that there is such a magical thing in this world.

This is the North American territory that the world seems to have a special preference for, and along the Hudson River, a canal more than 20 kilometers long can be dug to connect to the Great Lakes and then to the Golden Mountains on the West Coast.

This is a world away from the Erie Canal, which historically required more than 500 kilometers to be excavated. technical difficulty and construction intensity, greatly reduced in the case.

The sensitive Rothschild family dug this canal, which is only 23 kilometers long.

As a result, New York was quickly connected to the Great Lakes. The Port of New York is also gradually expanding, becoming the largest port in the North American Territory.

And the Rothschild family is also happy to collect tolls.

The population has also exploded in the decade, from a seaport county of just over 20,000 people. It has developed into a medium-sized city with a population of less than 300,000 and many factories.

The latest information made Li Xiao very troubled, because ...... New York City has even begun to build power plants and lay power lines.

Li Xiao has no doubt that with the wisdom of those scientists in North America, coupled with the industrial spies that are constantly sneaking in. Daming's little advantage will be caught up sooner or later.

To know that scientific research is such a thing, standing on the shoulders of giants is naturally twice the result with half the effort. But if you rush to the front line to overcome obstacles, it will be a lot of trouble.

If it weren't for Li Xiao's seedlings, Daming's science and technology would not have been able to make such progress today.

In fact, there are a lot of things, and Li Xiao can't do it. The key is that Li Xiao knows the direction of scientific and technological development, which is like a ship on a sea full of fog, and there is always a lighthouse to guide the way forward.

There will be some detours along the way, such as reefs, but at least the goal is clear.

The territory of North America became a thorn in the heart of Li Xiao, and it was now a paradise for Anglo-Saxons and Hebrews.

Some states near the south raised hundreds of thousands of black slaves. They forced these black slaves to grow cotton and rubber every day.

Perhaps because of the origin of these things, rubber trees are produced very well here. The quality of the rubber is also better than that of rubber from Southeast Asia and Yizhou.

As for cotton, it is planted unscrupulously and full of pits and grains. In addition to supporting the textile industry in North America, it can also be exported to Europe.

Almost seventy percent of the raw materials in the cotton mills in the United Kingdom come from North American territory.

These cotton cloths have become a strong opponent of Daming in Europe. Today's Ming businessmen are taking advantage of the first-mover advantage.

Keep pushing down prices, trying to squeeze out the cotton mills in Europe. But in terms of effect, it is not good!

Because while the Ming Dynasty was lowering prices, Britain, France, and German cotton mills were desperately squeezing workers.

In the Daming cotton textile enterprise, the wages of the workers are two to three times that of Europe. Every 10 days, there are also two days off.

In the European textile industry, the employment of women and children is almost universal. Female workers are paid very low wages, barely enough to make ends meet.

As for child labor, many places are just cooking. Give out a little change every month, even if it's wages.

And that's just enough money to buy a few pieces of candy in a place like London.

There is no way, years of war have already exhausted the country's finances. Coupled with the constant dumping of manufactured goods by the Ming Dynasty, this plunged European countries into widespread poverty.

Those colonies that relied on guns and artillery to rob back then were also under the coercion of the Ming Marines, and they continued to shrink.

Among them, Britain is the worst!

first competed with Daming for Southeast Asia, but lost a mess. Then, India, the largest colony, was taken away by the Ming Dynasty after a desperate struggle.

Then Egypt, Libya! And finally Gibraltar!

Now Britain has only some territories in barren black Africa. Barely able to provide some of the resources that British industry needs!

With the loss of these colonies, Britain's national power is declining at a rate that is visible to the naked eye. So much so that the British royal family, which was very hostile to the Ming Dynasty, also began to hand an olive branch to the Ming Dynasty.

The warm invitation to Zheng Sen and Tanakawa Nanazaemon to go to London was an invitation sent by the Queen of England in person under the pressure of the people.

The Queen's behavior once again interpreted. Even if the people oppose it, politicians will choose what they think is right.

Politicians are all animals of interest without feelings.

Prussia, on the other hand, ostensibly maintained a relationship with the Ming Dynasty. They still want to use the technology of the Ming Dynasty and the funds to quickly increase Prussia's national strength.

As in England, the people were full of all kinds of disparagements of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that Daming goods occupy the market and take away the jobs of the workers.

It is said that the Ming people eat all kinds of wild animals, which directly leads to the wanton spread of germs. The epidemic cold in the past few years was made by the Ming people.

All kinds of unreliable and unreliable rumors spread wildly, and there are even more outrageous rumors. It is said that the Ming Dynasty moved the mountains of Prussia and sucked away the air of Prussia.

To some extent, there is not much difference between the Prussian people and the Ming people. They are keen to spread all kinds of rumors, and they add fuel to their imagination in it.

With these unreliable remarks, don't expect ordinary people to have a good impression of the Ming people.

In addition, some Ming merchants did not do things very authentically, which gave Prussia even more truth.

The Ming embassy in Berlin, although it knew that these rumors were spread by Hebrew hired people. But there's not much you can do!

The newspaper is in the hands of the Ming people, and the young students and those professors are also interested in the Ming Dynasty.

In various newspapers, all day long and constantly preaching all kinds of achievements and all kinds of wealth of the Ming Dynasty. Since the beginning of the camera, it is a graphic introduction to the advanced of the Ming Dynasty.

But the folk rumors that these are all false, and they are all tricks made up by the Ming people.

The Ming people tried their best, but they still failed to reverse public opinion. There is no way to do it, similar to the Ming Dynasty, and the Prussian people also have too much illiteracy.

They don't read newspapers at all! Belch...... Or that they can't read the newspaper, and expect them to believe what the newspaper says, and they don't show it.

Relatively speaking, the Hebrews had many advantages. After hundreds of years of foreshadowing, they were inextricably linked to the Prussian leadership.

And the abundance of the Hebrews also made them the envy of ordinary Prussians. The last time the Ming Dynasty instigated the Prussians to attack the Hebrews, it was to sacrifice the magic weapon of hating the rich.

However, the attack on the Hebrews was only short-lived, because the Prussian top did not cooperate at all.

Even Frederick was in fact longing for the Hebrews.

His father, his grandfather, his grandfather's grandfather. When war was waged, it was necessary to obtain financial support from the Hebrews.

And after their victory, they also have enough money to pay off their debts.

It's a mutually beneficial thing, and that's what everybody did during the Habsburg period.

The situation in Prussia, while bad, was good relative to France.

Since the events of Paris, it can be said that France has turned its face to the Hebrews. After the Ming Dynasty's total embargo and trade sanctions against France, France's economy almost collapsed.

Those industries that originally relied on the Ming Dynasty lost the technical and financial support of the Ming Dynasty and quickly fell into a crisis.

Soon, though, a group of mysterious figures emerged. Their financial resources are very terrifying, and they go around buying companies that are obviously healthy, but they are only temporarily in crisis.

And these people are not as greedy as the Ming people, they just inject money and buy a certain percentage of the shares.

A good share was also retained, and even the company was managed by the original managers. They are only responsible for receiving dividends after maturity and will not interfere with the specific operation of the enterprise.

French merchants liked these people very much, and even some enterprises that were not very short of money began to borrow money to expand production with corporate pledges.

Soon, after leaving France, which was supported by the Ming Dynasty, the economy miraculously improved. And there are some thriving trends!

The newspapers, which had been nationalized, boasted about the wisdom of His Majesty the great Emperor Napoleon, who brought France back to life. Let the people have a better life.

Don't forget to belittle Daming, saying that leaving Daming is not a big deal.

Everyone knows that these guys with unusually rich funds are the Hebrew plutocracy.

European countries are looking sideways, and even some small countries are already calculating. Is it to move closer to the Hebrew plutocracy in order to get financial support?

After all, it is really difficult to get a loan in a bank in Daming. Not only do you have to have collateral, but you also have to check your credit history.

Sometimes, a guarantor is also required.
