With the development of industry, the demand for rubber in all walks of life is increasing, and if the cable and telegraph network is rolled out, the current output will not be reached at all. Even if the resources of nearly 1,000 square miles on Liujushu Island are sufficient, the transportation time is too long.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xingchen sent a letter to the Cursed Land, the Black Wolf Pirates, and the Great Floating Teng, that kind of black ship still has to be built, so that the transportation volume can be increased. Then there is the fact that we will continue to look for islands with rubber trees overseas, and we will not be able to let go of the cultivation in the southern wilderness.

Then he replied to Emperor Qiankun, Daqin, and Dali respectively, preparing to start the construction of the cable telegraph network. Then let Mei'er notify the high-level officials of the territory to hold a meeting to study the establishment of the Communications Bureau.

The scale of the rubber factory could not keep up, and the site selection and construction of the new rubber plant had to be studied.

After five days of busy work, the team of the Communications Bureau was basically completed, and the person in charge was selected from the earliest batch of children, whose name was Zhu Bin, who had been working in the city hall in recent years, and was conscientious and outstanding. The technical side is still left to the researchers at the university.

The site selection of the new rubber factory has also been completed, respectively in the two major ports of Linhaicheng and Minggang City, and one in the capital city of Daqin. This saves a lot of transportation resources.

With so many projects opened at the same time, Xingchenling's investment can be imagined, and thanks to the treasure of the Great Shang Dynasty, he brought him 150 million yuan of stones, otherwise it would be really difficult.

After finishing all this, Jiang Xingchen was ready to concentrate on studying those formations. In the near future, he must build a temperature-sensing pressure array, and Xian Ning must also research suitable materials and vacuum techniques.

Only the equipment that carries the temperature control pressure array has been successfully developed. It was possible to separate large amounts of nitrogen and hydrogen from the air to synthesize ammonia. in order to artificially manufacture soda ash. Development of explosives. This can save a large number of yuanshi. After these battles, he felt that he couldn't stand the Yuan Shi consumed. Nitric acid can also be made. Ammonium chloride solution can also be made for zinc-manganese batteries and so on.

As for the use of nitrogen fertilizer, this Jiang Xingchen did not consider it. The growth of plants in this world depends more on the vitality in the soil.

In fact, at the beginning, Jiang Xingchen doubted whether there was nitrogen in this world, because the most common saltpeter on the earth had never been found in this world.

However, with the understanding of this world, more and more earth-like species have been discovered, and Jiang Xingchen's confidence has become more and more sufficient. The environment here is so similar to the Earth that it should not be without nitrogen. The lack of saltpeter may be due to the lack of nitrifying bacteria

Before studying the formation. The first thing Jiang Xingchen had to do was to copy those silk silks first, leaving a backup to avoid accidents.

However, no day into his work, two letters interrupted him again. First of all, there was a letter from the second prince, talking about the construction of the game project, but then the conversation changed and talked about the porcelain clay mine, after several years of massive mining, its reserves have decreased sharply. I'm afraid I won't be able to mine for too long.

The second letter came from Xuanyuan Tianzong, and it also said that the reserves were the problem, and the manganese ore was estimated to have been mined more than half now.

Jiang Xingchen couldn't help frowning, kaolin was nothing. It's just that he can't produce utensils, and his current science and technology can't reach the level of using ceramic materials. But it's not the same with manganese ore, which is the main material for railway steel. And once the second steel production is built. The demand for fierce is even greater, and now is the time to build a big railway. How can manganese ore not be enough.

"Hey!" Jiang Xingchen sighed, this planet is much bigger than the earth. There can't be so few veins. It's just the lack of experience of the geological surveyors, because they don't understand this aspect and can't give them any guidance. The current survey team says that it is a survey, but in fact, it is to find different stones everywhere and bring them back for testing.

Besides, manganese ore is not all the same soft manganese ore as Xuanyuan Tianzong's side, and even if it is found, it may be confused with other stones.

To say that the most certain person in prospecting now is Jiang Xingchen himself, he has a material exploration array, and he can clearly distinguish different elements. But he's so busy every day, how can he have time to go out to look for mines.

"Resources are a big problem, if it really doesn't work, I have to go out in person!" Jiang Xingchen sighed secretly. This is also a matter of no choice, the demand for steel in future construction is too great, and manganese is indispensable.

But now he can't leave, so he can only write a letter to inform the second prince and Xuanyuan Tianzong first, and continue according to the previous mining volume

By the end of December, the winter fishing had ended, but the number of visitors to Xingchen Collar still did not decrease at all. What attracts them is the level game, and there are constantly people getting low-grade vitality wine, which is really exciting for tourists.

In particular, every two or three days, one person gets a mid-range Genki wine, which is even more attractive.

For this reason, Grandpa Fu found Jiang Xingchen and asked not to remove the super jackpot and the rewards for passing the level. The game is so popular that even Grandpa Fu didn't expect it. It is full every day, grabbing tickets every day, and there are tourists waiting in line until their eyes are blue. Even because of the news, there are a large number of tourists who come to play this game. In the words of Grandpa Fu, with this game and awards to attract, we will not have a tourist off-season in the future.

Jiang Xingchen's initial idea was that tourists and residents would remove the prizes after three rounds of play, and it was estimated that the winter tourism peak would also end at that time.

But listening to Grandpa Fu's statement that there will be no off-season for tourism in the future, Jiang Xingchen also felt that it made sense, so he nodded and agreed. However, it will not work to sell tickets like this in the future, and there are too many people occupied, and this needs to be solved. In addition, more distinctive things need to be introduced, and you can't just rely on the game.

After Grandpa Fu left, Jiang Xingchen first went to the university and told Xian Ning about the needs of high temperature, low temperature, and high pressure, and asked her to start researching.

When he came back from college, he told his daughter-in-law that he was going to go out for a while. Although Tang Chuxue and Mei'er didn't like it, they couldn't object to the issue of manganese ore reserves. Fortunately, it's not dangerous to just go out to look for mines.

In the next day, another batch of Yuan Stones transported from Moon Shadow arrived, and the Three Princes of Moon Shadow followed.

Chongming Island was defeated, and the next thing was post-war treatment and benefit distribution, of course he had to talk carefully with Jiang Xingchen.

If there is no one in the Star Lord, the management of Chongming Island will naturally not be involved, and it is difficult for Moon Shadow to manage, and the population of Chongming Island is larger than that of Moon Shadow Kingdom. Therefore, the result of their discussion was to continue to use the method of Mandan Island and elect the Chang family who had taken refuge as a puppet. As for the interests, it is naturally the priority choice of the star leader

By the time the two were talking, it was already the new year. After sending off the three princes of Moon Shadow, Jiang Xingchen was ready to go out.

But at this moment, a shocking news came from the coast. (To be continued.) )
