Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The Road to Industry

"Do you know why A Gubai has to lose? Because from the bottom of his heart, he was driving the reverse of history! The ultimate fate of Western Regions is to be bound together with Chinese civilization! "

"In the entire Chinese civilization's industrial development system, it would already be very good if he could successfully complete some of these difficult tasks!"

"He simply does not have the qualifications to complete an industrial system on his own! So what if A Gubai is delusional? So what if he lets the Western Regions be independent? "

"In the end, he was still crushed by an even more advanced industrial civilization, because he didn't even know the most basic construction of the feudal epoch and was still hoping that he would be able to accomplish the heavy task of industrialization in the future."

There were some things that Xiao Letian could not tell the rest of the world. The memories of his past life were still fresh in his mind, and when the human Industrial Revolution climbed up to the peak step by step in this brutal competition, many of the Country s would be eliminated step!

In the late nineteenth century, humans only had steam engines as the most complex industrial product!

A Iron-armored Ship like that would need hundreds of thousands of parts to be assembled, and how big of an industry would be needed to support these parts?

The answer was a million levels! In other words, it's enough for a Country to have a population of one million industrial worker to engage in this industrial chain. This way, the Country with a population of four to five million can support the industrial system of a million people!

Because it was impossible for a Country to only have worker s, and they also needed Farmers s, herdsman s, service industries, soldiers … And so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so

So in this epoch, the Belgium could also be called an industrial power, and the Netherlands could also produce Steel battleship s!

However, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the industrial system had been further classified into electrical, chemical and petroleum industries. The complexity of the industrial system had suddenly increased by several times, not because of linear growth, but because of a geometric burst!

The complexity of all the industrial products had suddenly soared by several times!

Among them, there were the First World War, UK's Elizabeth and Germany's Baden's battleship!

This kind of main battleship, the number of parts had long surpassed two million, and even late stage modified models could reach more than three million!

At this time, industrial products were not something that a small country could afford to play with! Small countries with millions of people like Belgium and Netherlands were excluded from the ranks of the powerful industrial nations!

At this time, only a large country with a population of ten million had the qualifications to step onto this card table and play a few games!

At that time, there were over forty million people in France and over sixty million people in Germany … Only this kind of Country had the ability to support tens of millions of people in industry, and thereby support such a large branch of the industrial tree!

Only by saying that a Country could keep all the branches of industry within his own country and not rely on other Country, could he be considered as a true industrial powerhouse!

During the Second World War, the number of basic components increased to a few million, corresponding to a Germany of 65 million people who could start a war, and France would be eliminated one month after the war.

However, the Germany must also give up on developing and producing super weapons like strategic bombers, aircraft carriers and atomic bombs.

Japan with a similar population could build aircraft carrier but could not build a proper tank.

On both sides of the sea, there was only USA with a population of over a hundred million.

The Soviets lacked reserves in the Technology s, but in the tank construction, cannon s and rocket launchers, they would always be able to dominate the Germany.

In the end, it was still the principle that the strong were stronger! A huge population base, huge land resources, a huge educated population, a huge industrial population … Together, they were known as industrial powers!

There was no end to this path, humans had entered the nuclear epoch after the second world war, and at that time a complete industrial system needed to be supported by thousands upon thousands of basic industrial components!

An industrial system of this scale could only be borne by Country with a population exceeding 100 million!

Therefore, the only thing they could do was to fight for hegemony in the United States while the other Country s could only stand on the sidelines … At that time, the population of the China and the India would also be over a hundred million, but there were too many agriculture people.

Nimitz class aircraft carrier, the total number of parts exceeded 1 billion. How could a small and weak nation be able to acquire such a large scale industrial product!

Why did the Europe want to create an EU? It was not because the Country s wanted to do it, but because if they did not do it this way, they would be eliminated in all aspects!

They had to combine all the human and material resources in Europe in order to be able to survive in the third Industrial Revolution. They had to occupy the highest position in the industry!

Only then would he be able to survive, have business to do, and maintain the standard of living in the European.

If the industrial population and manufacturing ability of over twenty Country s were not combined to form a single entity with a population of several hundred million, the Europe would simply not be able to hold on.

The three times Industrial Revolution had caused the human world to divide severely was already enough. Actually, in Xiao Letian's previous life, for the China to be able to rise to prominence in seventy years after the second world war was already a miracle!

When the US and Su already entered the nuclear epoch, space epoch, information epoch … He started his fourth time at Industrial Revolution, and China was actually able to catch up to him in just a few decades from an agricultural country!

If this wasn't a miracle, then what was it? Perhaps it could only be called a miracle!

On the way to this great nation's competition, many of the Country s had already been eliminated. Looking at the The Age of Great Navigation's star Country, Portugal, Spain, Netherlands, they couldn't even last past the first Industrial Revolution!

The strong Austro-Hungarian Empire fell to the second stage's most glorious peak, and UK, France and Germany also fell one after another.

To think that the industrialization of the China could reverse and surpass them at a time when the entire Europe could no longer keep up. This was simply unbelievable!

Now, Xiao Letian had a wild ambition of his own, he even wanted to push the time of China's start of the industrial civilization forward by another hundred years!

In the year of Tongzhi in Great Qing Dynasty, he had let Zhonghua jump on top of an industrial train. If he continued to look ahead, what kind of miracles would this Ethnic Group bring?

However, Xiao Letian could only be secretly excited inside, he could not share any of this with anyone!

Looking at Cao Shuai's urgent expression, Xiao Letian laughed helplessly: "Your impatience is good, I can understand …. But no matter what, industrialization is a great cause of science, not just passion! "

"Relax, since I'm here, I should take a good look and examine it …" Let me give you a green light so you can see with your own eyes the military enterprises of Chinese, those high grade Technology research institutes! "

"Take your heart to analyze … Was it better to industrialize alone in the Western Regions? Or would it be better to completely integrate into the Chinese's family and share a portion of the industrial task? "

"All decisions depend on your own heart!"
