Chapter 1041 Daming's Three-Step Strategy (Second Update, please subscribe)
There are many kinds of secrets.

Take weapons for example.

The enemy cannot know how advanced the weapon is.

How bad the weapon is should not let the enemy know.

For Daming, it is undoubtedly the former, because it is too advanced, so it cannot let the enemy know.

In the past few years, with his foresight beyond the age of a century and a half, although Emperor Zhu could not handle every detail, it was still easy for him to take the helm and steer the direction.

For example, on the boilers and steam engines of ships, when colleagues from various European countries were still arguing over the excellence of water tube boilers and fire tube boilers, Emperor Zhu directly bet on water tube boilers, and European and American countries were still struggling When looking at what kind of steam engine has high power and saves coal, he directly designed a three-expansion steam engine.

It was with water tube boilers and triple-expansion steam engines that Daming's shipbuilding industry made breakthroughs—mainly because it built a batch of fast smuggling ships during the Civil War and accumulated rich experience in shipbuilding.Later, the bet was placed on the ironclad ship, which directly established that the Ming Dynasty's shipbuilding level was not inferior to that of the United Kingdom.

After all, at that time, everyone was transitioning from a wooden-hulled boat to an iron-hulled boat, and everyone was in the stage of technological exploration. 6 half a catty is equal to eight taels, no one is better than the other.Relying on technical cornering overtaking, Daming successfully industrialized the leapfrog development of the shipbuilding industry.

Another example is airplanes and airships. While Da Ming is fooling European and American countries into betting on airships, he studs himself on the airplanes.When the British were eager to build a giant airship with a load capacity of 10 tons, Da Ming had already started to test a new type of fighter jet in his secret base on the Patagonian plateau.

"Hey, Europeans often talk about the spirit of contract, but in fact it's just lip service. The Imperial Navy...is also suffering from it."

"Yes, it's three generations!"

The advantage of one generation can already be crushed, so what about the advantage of one and a half generations?

Lin Yuehu said with some surprise.

"By producing one generation, developing one generation, and pre-researching one generation, we can maintain a generation and a half advantage in military equipment technology!"

As a late-developing country with backward education, science and technology, under the guidance of Emperor Zhu, Daming was not just overtaking on a curve.

When this plan was mentioned, Emperor Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up. Isn't this the most common practice in other countries in the world, especially in the military industry?

Emperor Zhu was also very helpless about this!
"The so-called "patent protection" is simply a joke. Even if we sue, the lawsuits will drag on for five or six years, and we can settle out of court. Let them pay for our patents. gone."

"In the past few years, what did we rely on to open up the market? We didn't follow the European and American countries to imitate their products, but through innovation and technological innovation to open up the market, from lighters, rice flower screws, screwdrivers, and adjustable wrenches. Tools such as claw hammers, dry batteries, flashlights, pedal sewing machines, bicycles and other light industrial products, as well as industrial products such as boilers, triple-expansion steam engines, steam trains, locomotives and automobiles, all of them are from Ming Dynasty. Inventions, innovations or redesigns, but..."

"However, it's a bit far-fetched to say this. This torpedo incident has made me understand a truth. For some weapons and equipment, we can set up a confidentiality period!"

"But it goes without saying that our products are all copied."

Airplanes, submarines, torpedoes, machine guns, radios, tanks, etc... Not only these military equipment are unheard of and unseen in European countries.Even the company has a large number of advanced industrial production technologies.

Not to mention the other world, it is this world. The most fashionable way for European and American countries is to dispose of backward weapons and equipment to other countries. Well, the same is true for Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the navy is also a victim, just like the current torpedo, the British imitated it, but no matter what the patent is or not.

After uttering these two words, Emperor Zhu stood up, walked to the window, looked out the window,

"Confidentiality period?"

As a party whose technical patents are often violated, I am really helpless!

But any secret will be revealed one day!
This is an unchanging principle.

"technology!"

"Your Majesty, this..."

Emperor Zhu explained.

In another world, what is the third world?
Isn't it just a "garbage dump" for developed countries to dump outdated weapons and equipment!

Emperor Zhu was naturally very pleased with this.

"To put it simply, it is to produce a generation, develop a generation, pre-research a generation, and produce a generation: it is to use mature technology, technology, raw materials, and equipment for production, that is, the generation that has been industrialized. The development of a generation is to use the existing basic theoretical support. Develop new technology, new technology, new raw material, new equipment, and prepare a new product generation for industrial production. As for the pre-research generation: it is to explore new basic theories, develop new technology, new technology, new raw material, and research new products.”

It is simply developing by leaps and bounds.

Lin Yuehu looked at His Majesty in confusion, what

I have Great Britain, Dafa, Great Virtue, rice... I have my own national conditions.

You can't declare war on countries over patents.

It's okay, your own court will of course protect your own people.

"Yes, it is the secrecy period. What is this secrecy period? It means that we can divide the weapons and equipment into three generations..."

In the past few years, with the efforts of tens of thousands of scientific researchers, the young seedlings that were forcibly pulled up in the past have all grown up vigorously.Some even grow into big trees in the sky.

Any kind of industrial machinery product, as long as it is put into the market, will inevitably be imitated by others. The performance and quality of such imitation products are basically controlled by two factors: one is the process of imitation, the quality of raw materials Performance affects product quality.The second is that the problem of processing technology affects product quality.

It is also because of this that both companies and the military have formulated extremely strict confidentiality measures.

"What about this confidentiality period? It can be understood that the technology of the pre-research generation is mature and put into production, and the production generation can be unlocked and put into the market. In this way, we can sell a large backlog of old products while maintaining technologically advanced level."

However, as long as there is time, there will always be corresponding breakthroughs.

Lin Yuehu, who is the Minister of the Navy, originally wanted to smack his chest and say - use the imperial navy to defend the imperial patent, but he took it back.

"Divided into three generations?"

Looking back at Lin Yuehu, Emperor Zhu asked back.

They all grew up under Emperor Zhu's suggestion - pulling seedlings to encourage them to grow.

Which lawyer has the most lawyers in Daming now?
Patent lawyers...but they are not the same thing. They are useless in Europe and the United States, not to mention the United Kingdom, even allies like France. Their courts also protect their own companies.

While explaining this idea with the concept of "three generations of products" in another world, Emperor Zhu continued to talk about his idea.

Facing His Majesty's idea, Lin Yuehu immediately agreed.

"Dividing weapons and equipment into three generations is easy to say. Just like our six-year torpedo, although it looks almost exactly the same as the eight-year torpedo, they are all powered by compressed air, but their engines are different. The six-year torpedo The two-cylinder engine used has a speed of only 14 knots, a maximum range of 700 meters, and starts to yaw when it exceeds 200 meters, and the effective range does not exceed 400 meters. The eight-year-old three-cylinder engine not only has a speed of 18 knots, but also has a range of more than 1000 meters. The use of gyroscopes has greatly improved the accuracy of the torpedo, and can ensure that no yaw occurs within a distance of 6500 meters. Compared with the six-year type, the eight-year type is more than a generation ahead. The latest eight-year type C speeds of up to 20 knots."

After thinking about it, Lin Yuehu said.

"And we are currently developing a new type of torpedo. Not only will its speed be greatly increased, but its range will also be increased several times!"
