On the morning of December 22nd, the sixth year of Tianxuan, after Qu Mao woke up in the new military industrial park in Liandao, Qu Mao took out the magic communication crystal and called Meng De, Minister of Industry, to come to Liandao to meet him.
Having seen Jidao New Military Industrial Park and Liandao New Military Industrial Park, Qu Mao naturally needs to take advantage of the opportunity while he is still in Liandao to find Meng De to look at the industrial development of Yigong Territory.
In fact, since Tianxuan launched the attack on the Anti-Yizhen Alliance on July 18, 6th year, Qu Mao paid little attention to the development of industry, and paid more attention to military production.
However, the development of Yigong territory is naturally inseparable from the development of large industries, and the transformation of science and technology also depends on industrialization.
After calling Meng De, Qu Mao, Xuan De and Meng De prepared to inspect the four industrial islands in the south again.
Fortunately, after Meng De arrived and took Qu Mao around Lian Dao, Qu Mao was relieved a lot, because the industrialization development that Meng De was in charge of did not disappoint Qu Mao at all. To be exact, Yi Gong The industrialization of the territory has reached a relatively complete stage.
Not to mention the increase in the number of factories, the industrially produced products and production equipment have been innovated a lot, and the degree of automation has also been improved a lot, although the power has only been changed from manpower to water power or wind power.
Of course, the equipment for large-scale production has also increased a lot. Inspired by the boring machine, the Ministry of Industry actually developed a punching machine for processing metal parts.
Now the degree of industrialization of Yigong territory, such as daily necessities such as iron barrels and iron basins, has an amazing production capacity. Even many woodworking components are pressed or cut by machines, and finally assembled by carpenters.
Qu Mao was very satisfied with what he saw. After nodding frequently, he said to Meng De: "Meng De, yesterday I visited both Jidao New Military Industrial Park and Lian Dao New Military Industrial Park. I am satisfied with the two new military industrial parks. At the same time as the development of the military industrial park, there is also some faint worry that the development of the new military industry may lead to insufficient investment in the industrialization process on your side.
So today my main goal is to transfer all the industrial facilities on the four southern industrial islands. Now that I have seen the industrial development of the United Islands, I am very satisfied. "
Meng De smiled and said, "My lord, I'm afraid you won't be able to transfer. Now the four southern industrial islands have more than 50,000 factories of various kinds, and this is not counting the countless handicraft workshops."
Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Damn it! Meng De, is that an exaggeration?
A few days ago, the gold coins in our territorial account have been in a state of tension, and infrastructure construction is being carried out everywhere in the Eastern Continent. I added that the gold coins in the territorial account are mainly used to pay military salaries. Where did you get the gold coins to develop so many factories? come? "
Meng De said with a smile: "My lord, after reading today, you will find that what I said is not an exaggeration at all. This is the result of vigorous industrial development in the past six months.
Although our territorial accounts do not have enough gold coins, our Holy Land residents, military families, and family members of heroes have a lot of gold coins. Among the over 50,000 factories, more than 30,000 were built by private capital, and the subordinates only help them contact equipment production Manufacturers and negotiations to purchase land for the construction of factories.
The rest of the factories are the factories we already have. "
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Okay, since private capital is involved, it makes sense.
Let’s visit the islands one by one. I also want to see which factories have been built by private capital. "
All the way from Lian Island to Green Island, and then from the entrance and exit of the underground world of Green Island, enter the purple light path to Bo Island. On the purple light path to Bo Island, Mengde said: "My lord, since you discovered coal, our Both the metallurgical industry and the ironmaking industry have achieved rapid development.
Some craftsmen found that after coal is heated under certain special conditions, impurities can be further removed to form a fuel with higher heat after combustion. Technical workers consider that the refining process is a reference to the process of burning charcoal, so this new fuel called coke.
The production of coke allows the iron ore in Shacheng to directly produce a steel material. The Firearms Research Institute on Twin Islands has extracted 1,000 units of steel ingots, and is going to try to use steel ingots to produce muskets and cannons.
What is gratifying now is that a large amount of private capital has been invested in the production of products for factories, instead of all producing end-consumer products together, it has stretched the industrial chain of our Yigong Domain industry a lot..."
Qu Mao was stunned for a moment. Qu Mao should have heard of the name of coke in another world, although he was not familiar with it.
So when Meng De finished talking, Qu Mao asked, "Is there a coke plant in Bodao? If so, let's go and have a look."
Xuande also said: "My lord, in the future, my subordinates have to go to the Midway Twin Islands in person. If steel ingots can be used to produce muskets and cannons, then my subordinates have to reserve the production capacity of steel ingots in advance."
Meng De said: "My lord, there are indigenous coking plants in the four southern industrial islands, but they are not large in scale. After all, the raw coal needs to be transported back from the Eastern Continent, and the cost is very high.
The largest coke factory was opened by a resident of Bodao and more than 20 residents who went to Jilie Houguo to open the coal mine outside Shacheng. The products are also mainly supplied to Shacheng Iron Smelting Plant. Shacheng Iron Smelting Plant is a factory directly under the Ministry of Industry. . "
Qu Mao got his wish and visited a small coke factory in Bodao, feeling very magical.
By the way, take out the newly refreshed technology krypton in the cheating technology column, and give it to Xuande, and ask Xuande to send someone to the Ministry of Science and Technology for implementation.
Even if these technologies are not available for the public domain, after Zhongmou is realized, Qu Mao’s cheating value can still be paid back. It just so happens that Xuande can’t wait to go to Twin Islands halfway to pay attention to the casting of guns and cannons from steel ingots.
With the "Yidao Weekly", technological innovations in the Yigong territory have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
Mender has even begun to look forward to the rise of the industry in the Yigong Territory if rubber trees and oil are found.
Qu Mao asked suspiciously: "Oh, Meng De, you all know about rubber trees and oil, do you have any clues?"
Meng De said: "My lord, the latest issue of "Island of Yi Weekly" has released a reward, and I believe that I will find it in a long time."
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "It's normal for you to have this judgment, I think that when the steam-powered engine is developed, our industry will develop further.
However, you have to consider laying railways in the underground passage in advance, you can produce sleepers and rails in advance. "
Meng De looked at Qu Mao suspiciously. Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "I'll tell you about the railway later."
