Section 159 Technology diffusion

Given that the citizens of the Sea Country really have no pressure, that is to say, there are no "enemies", Xin Yu decided to create some competitors for them and give these "lazy" guys some whipping.

In fact, from the perspective of the ruler of the Ocean Country, Xin Yu's decision is really a bit brainless, and it is definitely the kind of rhythm that thinks his advantages are too big and is not fun, and wants to challenge the "high difficulty". However, from Xin Yu's own purpose, the interests of the maritime country are not his ultimate goal.

It's funny to say, the entire Ocean Country can be regarded as Xin Yu's private property, if Xin Yu gives up his advantages, it is definitely a stupid act to tie his hands and feet and cut off his wings, after all, no matter how fast or slow the Ocean Country develops, it is always under his control. If the technology is spread to other countries, Xin Yu can ...... from the rapid development of science and technology Of course, it was only to a certain extent that Xin Yu could benefit from it and be able to learn from the details of the laws discovered in the scientific and technological civilization.

However, Xin Yu is not the kind of cultivator who has no desires and no desires, or is not the kind of "monk" who completely cuts off contact with the world. For Xin Yu, every relative in this world is something he can't give up. The same is true of his father Xin Daqiang, his mother Pan Guihua, and his younger brother Xin Kong.

Although it may be due to the inability to cultivate, the life span of the father and mother in this life is not long, and they will not be able to stay at the top of the ocean country for a long time. But the younger brother Xin Kong is different, even if the younger brother who is just a teenager is very persistent in the power of the meridians, that is, the qi refining method taught by Xin Yu, and it seems that the progress of his cultivation is not as good as the astral magicians recruited by Xin Yu, but with the existence of Xin Yu's elder brother, it may not be easy to reach a very high realm, but it is easy to prolong his life, and he can have a lifespan of hundreds or thousands of years.

In this way, Xin Yu has cut off the advantages of the Ocean Country, which will inevitably make his younger brother need to pay more and greater costs when he takes over the small land of the Ocean Country in the future, in order to maintain a certain degree of advancement...... Or even just self-preservation.

Don't look at the fact that the maritime countries can now build tens of thousands of tons of steel warships, and even test exploded eighteen hydrogen bombs, it seems that other countries need to catch up with dozens or hundreds of years. However, although this world is very backward and has no industrial base, we must not underestimate the wisdom of these "working people".

Why was Xin Yu able to develop the Ocean Country to what it is today in more than ten years? Just because he opened the golden finger? Of course it can't be, even if Xin Yu is covered in iron, how many nails do he hit? It is the ordinary people who really work.

Although Xin Yu proposed education-oriented and trained many talents for the maritime country, it is also a fact that this world is not the kind of ignorant backwardness. Think about it, Xin Yu was just the son of a tenant farmer in Xinjiazhuang, so he had the opportunity to get in touch with learning, and Xinjiazhuang is located in the corner of the entire continent, Daliang country, which can be described as a cultural "desert" zone, and Haizhou Mansion, where Xinjiazhuang is located, is the corner of the corner, the so-called humanities are not refined enough, and the material is not developed enough, which is the situation here. As for Haibin County, it is like the countryside of the entire continent, which belongs to the desert without any cultural atmosphere. And Puli Town, which is more "civilized" than Xinjiazhuang, has a better status on the entire continent than those places that have been in the ravines and ravines for a lifetime without contact with the outside world. As for the coastal zone...... There was no Age of Discovery, no thriving maritime trade, and the coastal areas were not even as poor as the ravines.

It is conceivable how backward and remote Xinjiazhuang is. But in such a backward place that it can be called the "most" in the world, even the sons of tenant farmers have the opportunity to learn culture...... Regardless of whether this culture is profound, at least it shows that there are still some merits in this world after tens of thousands of years of development.

Especially in basic science, the humanities in this world are not as bad as Xin Yu thinks. In the past, there was no chance or because of the strength of the astrological civilization, natural science could not be developed, and it was stimulated by the Ocean Country, but there was no way to peep in for a while, but Xin Yu took the initiative to spread the technology of the Ocean Country, do you think that people are really ignorant "I Daqing"?

Not to mention that Xin Yu decided to spread the technology, even if the technology of the Ocean Country has not been proliferated now, the development of the Great Liang Country is not so bad now. Even if the "leaders" themselves do not know how to better develop the social productive forces, compared with the previous development model, are they not now developing decently?

Well, part of the development path of the Great Liang Country was planned by Xin Yu, and it is not convincing in itself, but what about the countries that are farther away from the Great Liang Country? They did not enjoy Xin Yu's "guidance", because they felt the aggressiveness of the Great Liang Country, and because they were not far away from the Ocean Country, they were not also actively looking for their own "way out"?

At least from today's point of view, even if the current level of science and technology in those countries is still not an industrialized society, the level of development of their handicraft industry is many times higher than in the past. What's more, because the development of the maritime country itself has attracted the attention of some people of insight, and even Xin Yu has heard that the intelligence department of the maritime country has captured a number of "scientific and technological" spies from these countries.

Therefore, whether it is from the "knowledge reserve", "talent reserve", or from the intention of developing and becoming stronger, among the secular countries in this world, it is not completely without vision.

And what is even more disadvantageous for the maritime country is that because the small country that has developed from the land of Danmaru in the Primorsky Province has no strategic depth...... Even if the maritime territory is included, the exploitable territory of the maritime country is only one million square kilometers. Neither in terms of resources nor in terms of population, there is no advantage of other countries.

In this way, how can the maritime countries obtain high profits in the future? How can they ensure the security of their homeland? Although in the long run, Xin Yu will be able to obtain the "scientific and technological support" of the entire world, it will be a very unfavorable thing for the "hometown" of the maritime countries or simply Xin Yu's own "home."

Of course, Xin Yu would not be so stupid, and he eliminated his advantages all at once. After all, as far as reality is concerned, Xin Yu just wants to put some pressure on the people of the Ocean Country, so that they will be "born in sorrow" instead of "dying in peace", but he is not so brain-dead that he will sit crooked and want to self-destruct.

Therefore, in terms of choosing the type of technology that can spread, Xin Yu needs to think carefully. We will not be able to spread all our own weapons of mass destruction all at once, nor can we improve the technology of other countries, especially in the military field, to a great extent all at once. Otherwise, it's really shooting yourself in the foot.

If Xin Yu really spreads all the technology without limit, even if strategic weapons such as hydrogen bombs are excluded, if other countries alone master the manufacturing technology of gunpowder weapons, they will be able to raze the maritime countries.

Don't think that you can sit on the Diaoyutai with nuclear weapons, even if everyone in this world, including astrowizards, will have a clear understanding of the power and destructive power of nuclear weapons, but it is not excluded that there are some people who can pierce the essence of the "paper tiger" of the ocean country.

Speaking of nuclear weapons, especially the second-generation nuclear energy weapons with large yields, that is, hydrogen bombs, are indeed very powerful, and they can also bring great harm to the world. However, how many nuclear warheads do the maritime states have, and what is the delivery capacity?

Even if the Sea Nation can now possess the strategic capabilities of the American Empire in the previous life, in fact, compared to the vast territory of this continent and the huge size of this planet, the destructive power of second-generation nuclear energy weapons is actually not as powerful as advertised in the previous life.

And because the level of urbanization development in this world is not high, even if Xin Yu uses nuclear weapons in the war with a hot head, there is no other good choice except for using "decapitation tactics" to destroy the capital of the enemy country.

Therefore, military technology must not be proliferated, and this will not only threaten the security of the maritime states, but may even cause the balance of the entire world to be upset...... Regardless of whether Xin Yucheng admits it or not, the maritime country now has a tendency to become a "public enemy of the world", after all, the wealth of the people is moving, and the maritime country that has gathered almost half of the wealth of the continent, if it does not have the ability to protect itself, it will definitely arouse the greed of other countries.

In this way, Xin Yu's idea of stimulating the maritime country and injecting development impetus into the people is somewhat unrealistic...... Even if war is the catalyst of science and technology, it is too much to take such a senseless medicine.

Therefore, if it is to be difused, it is only the diffusion of civilian technology, such as textile machinery. Xin Yu may not spread the technology related to steam power, but mechanical products and technologies such as rolling mills, spinning machines, and looms can be considered.

On the one hand, the prime mover such as the steam engine is dual-use and will inevitably lead to the industrial development of other countries, but the peripheral equipment has no such concerns. On the other hand, the accumulation of industrial technology required by power machinery such as the steam engine is very high, and in fashionable terms, the threshold of science and technology is relatively high, and other countries may not be able to bring some "stimulation" and "promotion" to the maritime countries in a short period of time, and temporary diffusion and non-proliferation are the same.

Some people may think that the steam engine is a milestone product of industrial development, and without the steam engine as a power, how can it bring "pressure" to the maritime countries? In fact, this is a misunderstanding of many people in the previous life. Perhaps the steam engine had such and such advantages, and was even listed as a symbol of the first industrial revolution.

But for the reality of this world, the steam engine is really not so important...... At least in the civilian field, the role of the steam engine is not the absolute king. You need to know how big the population of this world is tens of billions...... Although no one has the leisure to count, but the continent that is equivalent to hundreds of times the total land area of the earth in the previous life, no matter how vast and sparsely populated it is, this figure is still relatively objective and not exaggerated at all.

With such a large population and a low-level development of civilization, it can be seen how cheap its labor force is, and even if some of the commodities of the maritime country have a driving force such as a steam engine, the cost of which is lower than that of other countries, but relatively speaking, people have the advantage of human cost, which can definitely pose a threat to the commodity competitiveness of the maritime country.

In fact, speaking of which, Xin Yu actually had to do this. On the one hand, it is one thing to stimulate the people of the maritime countries to be more energetic in the new year, and it is more important to hope that the maritime countries can have the motivation to keep up with the "trend of the times".

You must know that the prime mover of the steam engine has been widely used in the maritime country three years ago, from the steam locomotive to the steam ship, this kind of machinery can be found everywhere. However, the steam engine was produced six years ago, and although the three-year period seems to be very short, it is not determined by any economic law, but is forced by Xin Yu, a "dictator".

And three years ago, the maritime nation not only succeeded in manufacturing the internal combustion engine, but also invented the steam turbine and oil-fired boiler, as well as the more representative power of the prime mover such as the generator and electric motor. From the perspective of scientific development in the past life, it is only right that the ocean country should now enter the age of electricity.

However, because there are no competitors, and the steam engine has only been used for a long time, there is not enough pressure to apply more advanced technology, whether it is from the "state-owned enterprises" or from the private industrial and commercial enterprises.

On the one hand, the scientific and technological level of the entire maritime country far exceeds that of other countries, coupled with the developed marine transportation industry, yes, most of the entire continent is occupied by the commodities of the maritime country. In this way, replacing more efficient technical equipment is itself a waste of "more gains than losses". Whether from the cost or from the practical point of view, more advanced technology can be used as a reserve, and the original machinery can not adapt to the development situation and then come out, is the nature of capital.

On the other hand, the steam engine equipment has only been built for less than three years, and many companies have not even been able to recover the cost...... In a narrow sense, in fact, because the commodity profit margin of the maritime country is relatively high, and the sales channel has been very smooth, the actual profit has long been recovered from the investment in hardware. However, in a broad sense, if such a large investment is to be upgraded, the steam engine cannot be eliminated in a short period of time.

Therefore, in order to force the maritime countries to be "hungry" for higher technology, Xin Yu's decision to spread technology is really a bit "imperative".
