Next to the port, not far from the lighthouse, Liu Xinyu quietly looked down at the port not far away.

The battleship Zhiyuan is already preparing to sail for the second time, and the port is already crowded. Many people around came to watch. But more of them are merchants from the land of Qixia and so on. There are even businessmen from other countries.

Rather than sitting in a small room, Liu Xinyu prefers to stand here, watching the vast sea and the cheering crowd.

On the boundless sea, in the rolling waves, a small iron ship is preparing to once again cut through the moat that no one has crossed for thousands of years, to find the light of civilization.

The colorful light of the lighthouse soared into the sky. Today's lighthouse is more like a torch of civilization, igniting the light of civilization. From here, the Land of Qixia found the light of civilization in the green sea of death.

The brilliance of the rising sun gilded the steel giant ship with a layer of hope and iron-blooded brilliance. In that endless struggle, in the tempering of blood and fire, the country of Qixia broke through the blockade of the sea and land and ushered in its own hope.

The sea has been rolling for thousands of years, but now on the sea, there is a small black spot, a steel warship.

Facing the whole sea, facing the whole continent, it is so small. But it is this small ship that carries the hope of a country.

Under the rising sun, Liu Xinyu looked at the sea and the port fixedly. As the first stop of the national tour, Liu Xinyu chose here without any hesitation.

Turn your head and look at the cliff next to you, there is still a row of big words engraved: The land ends here, and the ocean begins here!

After a while, the battleship started slowly, the people on the battleship waved vigorously to the shore, and the sailors cheered loudly over the waves.

Liu Xinyu stood still, quietly watching the battleship sail into the sea and turn southward, and finally the battleship cut through the water, causing thousands of meters of sea surface to fold and disappear little by little.

There was a sound of footsteps, Zhang Hao walked over slowly, and stood not far from Liu Xinyu without speaking.

"You didn't follow the boat this time?" Liu Xinyu didn't turn his head and asked softly.

Zhang Hao looked at the traces of shipping still remaining on the sea, and said with a faint smile: "I believe they can do it well!"

Liu Xinyu nodded slowly, and after a while, Liu Xinyu suddenly asked, "This port doesn't have a name yet, right?"

"Uh......" Zhang Hao was suddenly a little embarrassed. Also, until now, the port has not been given a name, and it really shouldn't be.

Liu Xinyu slowly raised his head, looked at the distance of the sea, looked at the meeting of the sea and the sky, and said slowly: "I heard that in the north, north of the country of Yanyun, there is a desert. The desert is a world of despair, and hope can only be found if an oasis is found in the desert.

I think the name Oasis is a good fit for this port.

The green sea of death we are facing is not a desert! But now, in this blue desert, we have built our own oasis!

This is where the hope of the entire Fertile Continent lies!"

The sea breeze blew Liu Xinyu's clothes.

Later, Liu Xinyu suddenly changed the topic, "I heard that there is a master of the Transformation Stage named Chen Yansong who has joined the Dayang Group?"

"Yes. Zhang Hao nodded. In the past few days, Zhang Hao has fooled Chen Yansong to join Dayang Group, and one person has obtained 1% of the shares of Dayang Group. Zhang Hao took a few shares from each shareholder and gathered them into Chen Yansong's hands. In this regard, everyone has no opinion, after all, join a master of the transformation period.

This time, Chen Yansong also set off with the ship, and there was also the captain Dugu Junjie and Feng Zhiling on board. If there is no major event in the future, Zhang Hao should not follow the ship again. Professional things are left to professional people to do. Zhang Hao's profession is to command others.

"What is the cargo of Dayang Group this time?"

"20,000 excellent, unsheathed, tabula rasa steel swords. 300 tons of 99.7% black iron, 50 tons of steel. The rest of the shells 1800 tons. ”

"Cannonballs...... Uh, forget it. What's the matter with the sword?"

"Well, I gave each of the Eastern Merchants 3 long swords forged from steel as a gift, which is the kind used by our ordinary soldiers. As a result, they said that this is a good thing in the East, and they are willing to give 500 high-grade spirit stones. Later, I was embarrassed and lowered to 200 high-grade spirit stones.

However, with two hundred high-grade spirit stones, there is no scabbard, and only sword strips are created, and the efficiency has been improved a lot. A sword is about 1.3 kilograms, and 20,000 sword strips are only 26 tons. ”

The corners of Liu Xinyu's mouth twitched a little: "What is the cost of your Zhang family's steel, I probably have a number." You sell a sword bar for 200 high-grade spirit stones...... You're so open-mouthed!"

Zhang Hao was unhappy: "Your Majesty, what do you say...... I don't agree with that. I must be adamantly opposed. Your Majesty, may I ask what is the shore price of Dongfang Xuantie? 99.6% of Xuantie, the shore price is as high as 75 catties of high-grade spirit stones.

Although the calculation method of Jin Liang in the East and West is different, the Jin Liang in the East seems to be larger, with 16 taels per catty. But the price of dark iron is still very high.

Our steel sword is forged with 99.7% dark iron, and in the end, it only costs 200 high-grade spirit stones, which is almost the cost price in the eyes of the outside world.

The representatives of the Oriental Comptoir accepted it gladly! There was no objection at all!

Your Majesty, do you know why?"

Liu Xinyu frowned, she faintly felt something, but she couldn't say it for a while.

Zhang Hao didn't wait for Liu Xinyu to answer, so he said: "Your Majesty, this is technology! Your Majesty, you have always been in contact with and understood us, so you think that our asking price is very expensive."

But Your Majesty, if you think about it from the outside world, you will find that our prices are really cheap and very cheap!

This is because our technology has advanced. It's technology!

Technology is the future of the country of Qixia.

The new means of producing dark iron is technology. The advent of steel is technology. That huge Heaven Sealing Array is technology. Even the battleship Zhiyuan is also technology!

All of this is the progress of technology.

Take steel as an example, why did I ask for 200 high-grade spirit stones, but they readily agreed?

This is pricing power!

When we master the technology, we have the power, and that power includes pricing!

Speaking of battleships, because we have battleships, we have opened our hopes, and we have only obtained cheap pills! Your Majesty, do you think that a Peiyuan Pill 0.6 spirit stone is incredible? But this is just our thoughts. For the East, they may still think it's expensive!"

"Technology?" Liu Xinyu was thoughtful, but she frowned slightly, always feeling that there was still a core that she hadn't caught. "Technology...... What is the development?"

"A revolution! A revolution in the mode of production! I think it should be called a technological revolution, or an industrial revolution! This is a completely new mode of production, which produces machines by machines!

Your Majesty, let me take you to the production base of the Zhang family. ”

This time, Zhang Hao directly took Liu Xinyu to the core production base of the Zhang family - the machine tool production base!

Zhang Hao thought about it for a long time, and finally led Liu Xinyu to come.

Liu Xinyu is the head of this country, and the future of the country depends entirely on Liu Xinyu. If Zhang Hao wants the country of Qixia to develop at a real high speed, he needs to ensure that Liu Xinyu's thinking is progressive enough.

Therefore, Zhang Hao took Liu Xinyu into the core of the Zhang family today. Here, it has never been open to the public!

This is a world of machines producing machines!

Liu Xinyu asked the guards to stay outside the barrier and walked in alone. Then, she was stunned, what appeared in front of Liu Xinyu was a world of steel and machines.

Liu Xinyu glanced around, but didn't know where to start for a while.

Zhang Hao first led Liu Xinyu to observe the production of steam turbine blades. Steam turbine blades are one of the most important technologies today.

Now that Zhang's steam turbines have been sold more than 50 units, and the Royal Commercial Bank has also bought a lot, Liu Xinyu is very clear about the status and value of steam turbine blades, as well as the technical difficulty.

Many people tried to copy Zhang's steam turbines, but they all failed. Failure in ...... On the blades!

At this time, Liu Xinyu saw how the leaves were produced.

First, the high-purity iron block is repeatedly folded and forged, and then it is pressed into a press in a red-hot state to produce a basic shape, and then after complex quenching, annealing, and cooling, it is put into a somewhat complex machine tool by craftsmen.

The machine has horizontal axes, vertical axes, and even spiral axes, and the tool is propelled, just in perfect curves, pulling out the iron filings that have just been bladed out of the embryos.

The machine is constantly moving, but in just three minutes, the surface of the blade has been machined. Then it moves on to the next process.

After the craftsmen inspect the blades, they begin to punch holes at the root of the blades, mill grooves, etc., and finally polish them as a whole. The entire process is done on a machine tool.

A blade that seems too complex to be replicated by others can be machined in just a few minutes.

Then Zhang Hao took Liu Xinyu to see the production of the spindle of the steam turbine rotor.

The spindle has a completely new pouring technology. The molten steel will be injected into a container reinforced by layers of seals, stirred to make sure that there are no bubbles, etc., and then sealed and pressurized, with a heavy hammer on the top to apply pressure, and when the molten steel begins to semi-solidify, the forging and pressurization will begin.

It often takes days for a steel column to cool down, but Zhang Hao took Liu Xinyu to the side of a formed steel column. The steel columns are more than 70 centimeters thick and about four meters long. At this time, the steel column is still a little hot, but it has been lifted and started heat treatment.

In the next process, a steel column is already placed on a large machine tool and is being processed.

The machine rotates rapidly, iron filings curl and fly out, and the steel columns are cut to a precise size, exactly 70 centimeters in diameter.

Then the machine tool is replaced, and a full nine tools are cut down at the same time, and the grooves are cut one after another. The groove gradually widened, and the cut steel wires curled up and fell to the ground, and some filaments could even extend more than ten meters, like a thread.

Soon there were nine raised, ten-centimeter-high 'steel ridges' on the main shaft. Then the cutter moves horizontally to cut these steel ridges evenly, and grooves and punches holes on them. Finally, the whole is polished.

When I came to the next process, I saw that the excellent craftsmen aligned the grooves at the root of each blade with the grooves of the spindle, struck and aligned them with a relatively soft copper hammer, and finally added screws to fix them. One by one, the blades began to be installed, and a complete turbine rotor appeared.

In the next process, the formed rotor rotates at low speed, and the craftsmen are checking their balance. This inspection is done carefully, and the balance is slightly adjusted by adding a paper-like spacer to the bolts that hold the blades in place.

Finally, the inspected rotor rotates rapidly on the bearing. The 12-tonne rotor rotates at more than 1,000 revolutions per minute – the most extreme test at the moment, and the rotor doesn't make the slightest noise!

Liu Xinyu couldn't help but gently touch the optical axis part of the rotor with her hand, only feeling the slightest softness, and could only barely feel a faint tremor.

Liu Xinyu couldn't take his eyes off it, but Zhang Hao's footsteps did not stop, he took Liu Xinyu to visit the more core production process - machine tool production machine tools!

The core of the machine production machine is the machine tool production machine. A set of fully functional, self-replicating machine tools, has a very vivid name - industrial machine tools!

And here, this base is Zhangjia's industrial machine tool! A full set of machine tools here has formed a total of three sets of industrial machine tools, which are in rapid production.

Zhang Hao took Liu Xinyu to observe them one by one. Here, Liu Xinyu saw the production of bearings, the production of screws, the production of molds, and the production of gears...... See these little parts come together little by little into a complete, complex machine!

Cold iron ingots, black iron ingots, steel ingots, etc., are processed into roaring machines here!

When night fell, the production base was brightly lit. Liu Xinyu stood on a high place, silently watching the machine tool production workshop, watching the machine tool process pieces of billets into different parts over and over again, and then watching these parts reconstitute the machine tool.

Then these machine tools will be sent to some core departments of Zhangjia and Dayang Group, and will not be displayed to the public.

Previously, the Zhang family was strictly guarding these things, and now it is, but after Zhang Hao thought about it carefully, he still decided to take Liu Xinyu to take a look.

A glance at how much technology can't be taken away, but it can make Liu Xinyu understand the future of industry and commerce - what is the real industry and commerce!

The country needs a monarch with a pioneering spirit, a monarch with a deep understanding of industrial power and the future.

Zhang Hao asked Liu Xinyu to understand: industry and commerce, industry first, business second. The foundation of industry and commerce is industry and technology. And not those caravans that buy low and sell high!

It wasn't until dawn the next day that Liu Xinyu sighed: "This ...... Is it the so-called Industrial Revolution?"

"I prefer to call it Industrial Revolution 1.0, or the First Industrial Revolution. There will be a second, third, and more in the future.

And here the technology, I'm ready to ...... Gradually open to the country!"

Liu Xinyu frowned: "Why? Isn't it good to keep it for yourself, why do you want to make it public?"

(The third watch, asking for tickets in the middle of the night.) Before I knew it, there were three hundred chapters. ）
