Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1153 Small Needles, Big Industry

The experiment lasted for more than an hour. Although this kind of experiment was a bit boring, Yang Rui still slowly saw the emperor's intention. He was using this method to conduct an experiment. The purpose of the experiment was to test the products produced by various countries. There are some differences in the production of needles and the use of steel. Of course, the fineness of the needle eye is also observed.

"Your Majesty, is such an experiment useful?" Yang Rui asked with some doubts.

"Yes! No!" Guan Xuqing's answer was ambiguous.

"These small things don't reflect too much, but everything starts from a small place. Do you know why our tanks have a lower failure rate than other countries in terms of average mileage? That's because of the foundation of our products. Well done. There are tens of thousands of parts on a tank, and the failure of any small part may lead to the collapse of the entire tank. It is the excellent production of these small things that can reflect the basic industry of this country. Perfection and progress. After every [-] German tanks travel [-] kilometers, [-] tanks are prone to failure, and [-] tanks have transmission failures, while our tanks only have [-] failures after every [-] vehicles travel [-] kilometers. There are nine vehicles with minor faults, what can such numbers mean? It shows that our products are better than those of the Germans." Guan Xuqing recorded the last set of data in his notebook while explaining.

"Your Majesty, you can ask my ministers to do experiments like this, so you don't need to do it yourself?"

"Hey, it's okay to be idle anyway. It's more intuitive to do it yourself. Don't underestimate these things. Sometimes a needle produced by a country can reflect the country's basic industrial level." Guan Xuqing smiled.

"Uncle Qiao, do you usually cook at home?" Guan Xuqing suddenly asked a random question.

"No, it's all made by my mother-in-law. Why does the emperor ask this?"

"Hey, come and take a look at this." Guan Xuqing handed some pieces of paper in the package to Yang Rui.

"It records the use of iron pots and steel pots produced in some countries, do you see anything?
"No! Didn't see it?" Yang Rui was confused, and he didn't feel anything wrong with the various data.

"Now stamping technology has gradually become the mainstream production method of some products. Look at the aluminum pots and iron pots we currently use, as well as the steel pots for boiling water. Most of these products are stamped and formed by rolling machines at one time. The products produced are not only high in efficiency but also low in defective products, and at the same time greatly reduce the use of metal materials. The pots and pans produced by thin iron sheets are not only light but also reduce the cost of materials, and ordinary people are willing to buy such products Go back to use, but the problem also came out."

Guan Xuqing opened some photos in the file and handed them to Yang Rui, pointed to the circled area in the photos, and continued to explain to him some things he couldn't understand. "If the raw materials, that is, these steel and aluminum locks, due to the unqualified production process, there are bubbles in the product or there are many or large impurities, then these thin iron sheets will easily appear trachoma. A water-filled If the container has trachoma, do you think it can still be used?"

"I understand, the emperor is inspecting our basic industries in a disguised form. In the past, I could often see those mending pots and pans picking up guys and yelling to mend things in the streets and alleys. Now these people are rarely seen anymore. I see, at most it is in various vegetable markets, so there is such a reason behind it. It turns out that it is because of the improvement of product quality that they have cut off their source of income!" How smart Yang Rui is, he immediately understood the emperor. intention.

"So don't underestimate these things. We can produce the best tanks in the world. It is not so easy to do it. There is no solid production in the steel factory, and there is no complicated and cumbersome production process from raw materials to finished products. Roughly manufactured things cannot support such advanced products at all. Why are our products durable? Why do we need strict checks from a screw to the entire ship? We don’t have the ability to strictly control from the foundation to the cost. Sometimes a single screw can make your whole ship lie on the sea!" Guan Xuqing put the materials on hand into the bookcase.

"Your Majesty, what level do you think our industrial development is compared with the world powers?"

"Our overall strength has surpassed any country in the world, but we still have a huge gap in production, especially in the production of high-quality steel, but many of our tanks and submarines need these high-hardness steels, and those Special alloy steel is a huge gap, if we can fill this gap, our various strengths will be improved to the greatest extent."

"Your majesty is wise, and I still need to ask for advice. To make up the gap, what should we do?"

"Many, from factories, smelting equipment, ore dressing, to high-quality production workers, the lack or insufficiency of any link will reduce the quality of products. This kind of improvement cannot be accomplished by simply improving a project. Many things still need to be started from scratch, just like these needles and threads, we need to start from the most basic things. Only in this way can we truly improve the industrial strength of the empire. Many things need to be accumulated bit by bit, and It takes a long time to accumulate, especially the cultivation of high-quality industrial workers, which takes the most time. As I once said, if there are enough industrial workers, then there will be enough talents to enrich and improve us. Industrial quality, more than 40 years of painstaking construction, the industrial strength of the empire has made a big leap, but it takes time to accumulate to reach the standards of industrial giants. Uncle Qiao, the empire is making great strides on the journey, domestic construction and army construction Equally important, you have to work harder!"

"I understand."

"Uncle Qiao, the industrial construction in Eastern Siberia needs to be accelerated. The Soviets are always eyeing it. I want to build it into the industrial center of the world, so that the Russians living in Siberia can deeply appreciate the benefits brought by the industrial development of the empire. , Dedicated to serving the empire, this is a key step in stabilizing the hearts of East Siberia. In two days, you will accompany me to see the encouraging development and construction there.”

"twitter."

East Siberia Eastern Siberia, USSR.From the Yenisei River in the west to the Dividing Mountains on the Pacific coast in the east.Including Yakutia, Buryatia Autonomous Republic, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Irkutsk and Chita Region, etc.It has an area of ​​412.28 million square kilometers and a population of 876.9 million.After the Sino-Russian War, Tsarist Russia was defeated and ceded the vast area of ​​Eastern Siberia to China.Over the years, China has turned this barren land into the industrial center of Asia with grandiose courage and amazing handwriting.

In Chita, an important town in East Siberia, with Chita as the center, there are a large number of various factories within a range of [-] kilometers along its four directions.Some of these factories already existed in Tsarist Russia, and most of them were built in China. On this large construction site, relying on the original industrial infrastructure, in the new round of industrialization, the large industrial base of East Siberia has been rejuvenated. Showing its true colors, and under the planning and construction of the empire, this industrial base has become stronger and more complete than before.From the mining and sorting of minerals and other resources, to the transportation to the first batch of factories for rough processing or smelting in the smelter through a sound and sound transportation network, the rough embryos enter the corresponding factories in the later stage Fine processing is carried out, and then various parts are transported in batches to the final assembly workshop that needs them for final assembly. Trucks, tanks, airplanes, and cannons are millions of tens of millions from nature. It is even refined and combined from various resources that have been bred for hundreds of millions of years.

"Your Majesty, now our Siberian industrial zone has taken off the hat of being fed but not producing." Guan Xuqing brought a group of people from the Ministry of Industry here, and the young East Siberian Governor Chen Bulei excitedly introduced it to the emperor.

"It's just that I just took off the hat that can't be fed. Is there any need to be so excited?" Although Yang Rui has a serious face, he, as the Minister of Industry, still feels very proud of seeing the bustling production scene here.

"My lord, you can't say that. At the beginning, this place started from nothing. At the beginning, the industrial distribution of the industrial zone was a bit unreasonable. There was no intuitive long-term planning. Many factories were too scattered and redundant, like parts produced in the east. The blanks have to be sent to the parts processing factory in the west for processing and production. The final assembly factory in the north needs to pull equipment from the component factory in the south. It also wastes a lot of time for transportation. There is also uneven distribution of water and electricity transmission, and some places have too much power redundancy, but they cannot be delivered to industrial areas that lack electricity."

"The same is true for industrial water, and then there is the randomness of the sewage system. A lot of industrial wastewater is discharged randomly, and the wastewater flows into ordinary rivers through drainage ditches, causing drinking water difficulties for residents downstream of the river; it took us a few years to reintegrate here. The planning of the industrial zone, the demolition of the demolition, the elimination of the elimination, and the reintegration of the construction of the basic water and electricity pipeline network and the construction of the sewage discharge mechanism in the industrial zone, such a huge project could not be completed in less than five years before, but we It only took two years now. Now we have taken off the feeding hat, the industrial zone has begun to produce some industrial products, especially military products, and our chemical plants can already produce qualified products from raw materials to finished products in large quantities Plasticized high-explosive explosives, combined with the transformation of the military production equipment originally established by Tsarist Russia here, we can already produce guns and ammunition in large quantities. Starting next year, the garrison in Siberia will no longer have to endure the long journey of transporting supplies from the south. Wait, they will be able to obtain supplies directly from here. This can greatly reduce the transportation cost from the south. Don't you think this is a happy event?"
