As a result, as soon as the fishing rod was inserted and the bait was not even installed, the winter fish jumped out as if the pond was exploding, and they all said that they took the bait on their own initiative, so please consider me.
That afternoon, Xumi's business department was visited by at least thirty merchants from Zhidong and the same number from Liyue, hoping to represent this magical drink.
It’s understandable that the merchants from Zhidong came to visit, and the merchants from Liyue also... They have very high business acumen.
Soon, the coke storm hanging up here in Xumi set off a craze in the winter.
Chapter 86: Ning Guang Shocked
(Second update, please ask for a three-in-one series? (^?^*))
Although Xumi has many problems, for Iles, this is also a good start.
Because there is no shortage of food in Xumiru, there is no shortage of food in 360 degrees.
The staple foods of Xumi are wheat, rice, millet and corn. Due to the blessing of the Grass God, the yields are quite terrifying.
For example, the wheat yield in Xumiru is three thousand catties per mu.
With the help of chemical fertilizers, the maximum yield of modern wheat is only about [-] kilograms per mu of land.
But the focus is not on such horrific output, but on the costs required to achieve this output.
How is Xumi wheat grown with a yield of [-] kilograms per acre?
Sow the seeds, then simply apply fertilizer, water enough, and wait for harvest.
To be honest, Iles was so jealous of the intensity of labor that she burst into tears.
When he conquered the world, after completing the unification of the country, the first problem was the nationwide food shortage. This problem would take three years to solve under the most favorable circumstances. If God is evil, it will be a short time in ten years. of.
Therefore, the census after national unification is basically conducted three years later, because at least one in ten people will die from famine, and this is when land conflicts are alleviated.
But Xumi doesn't have this problem. As long as food can be delivered, no one will starve to death.
The premise is that you don't seek death like the Apostolic Council. If all of Nam Nalan are blown up, half of the 3000 million people in Sumeru can be considered as a strong vitality of the local population.Sufficient food allowed the country to quickly improve its residents' living conditions after land distribution was completed. Among them, the happiest and most troubled people were the desert people.
Good news, they were given land.
Bad news, none of them know how to farm.
This problem can only be solved by the agricultural technical teams sent to the countryside. Farming is also a job that needs to be learned.
If there is sufficient food, then the development of the food industry will go smoothly, because those losses are nothing to worry about, so Iers can first expand the light industry based on the food industry on a large scale, and then deploy other industries, and these macro policies are needed Massive calculations are required, so Xumi has also established a rudimentary version of the National Computing Center to use mechanical calculators and human statistics to solve problems in this area, which is enough for now at least.
You understand why Iles didn’t plan the economy comprehensively. It’s simply impossible to calculate. Back then, the Soviet Union’s OGAS had to compromise into a distributed computing network node structure. As for the void system, it was not born for computing. Many designs have The black box structure is completely unanalyzable. When used as a pure calculator, these things are very inefficient and will affect other functions, so Iles has not considered the possibility of using the void system to take shortcuts.
As expected, professional matters must be left to professional people and the equipment area.
"Poof! What is this?"
Ningguang put Xumi's latest drink next to her. She just took a sip and squirted.
Doesn’t Xumi’s candy cost money?
"Lord Ningguang, this is Xumi's newest drink, and the people of Zhidong like it very much."
"I can understand the sweet-loving Zhidong people who like this, but it doesn't suit the taste of Liyue people."
"Master Ningguang, I heard that we need to mix this drink with water and add ice cubes to drink it."
"Then try it."
After some processing, Ningguang found that this cola still had merits. Although the taste was unexpected at first, the taste when paired with ice cubes made it more addictive and happy.
This is the dopamine secretion caused by sugar and the stimulation of the tongue by carbon dioxide. Many sparkling water designs in later generations are based on this. A large database was even established to analyze the human tongue to ensure that the product can accurately hit the user's pain points. Just feel cool and happy, so that you will have repeat customers. .
This is the current situation of the food industry, which has begun to roll out technology and apply many cutting-edge discoveries. It is no exaggeration to say that those food experts understand the five senses of human beings better than doctors.
To add to the feeling, the accompaniments include potato chips.
Xumi's terrible soil fertility makes the yield of potatoes and corn very terrible, so even if the planting area is not large, Xumi still has a large inventory of potatoes and corn, which of course have to be used for further processing.
Let’s learn about potato flour. Corn can be appropriately improved. Some of it can be used to make wine, and some can be used to prepare more delicious fruit corn. It can also be used for farming. In short, the application range is very wide, and people want it after it is produced.
Iles is mobilizing the entire Sumeru to use the power of technology to squeeze out all the value of these crops.
After tasting Xumi's new food, Ningguang quickly discovered a problem.
"These things are very good, but except for Coke, I'm afraid it's difficult to preserve them for a long time."
As a businessman from Qixing, Ningguang is very aware of the transportation speed of carriages, and the same is true of sea transportation. The very embarrassing reality is that in Teyvat at the moment, food storage technology is still very rudimentary, and the freezing and encapsulation of elemental power are also available, but that It is not something that ordinary people can enjoy, let alone used on a large scale, so things with a long shelf life are very unpalatable, and things with a short shelf life cannot be transported out of the place where the raw materials are produced.
The things that Ningguang enjoys must have been preserved by special means, and special means definitely cannot be mass-produced, at least Liyue can't do it at this stage.
It's okay to transport it north. After all, it's getting colder and the shelf life of food will be longer. However, Liyue and Xumi have similar latitudes. Even if the climate is slightly different, at most it will change from moldy first and then spoilage to moldy first and then spoilage. Space Distance is a physical limit that cannot be solved.
"Lord Ningguang, this was true in the past, but what if there are many ships in Sumeru with speeds exceeding 15 knots?"
"What did you say!?"
Ning Guang stood up suddenly, which really shocked her.
To be precise, it is a paddle steamer with an economic speed of fifteen knots and a maximum speed of twenty knots.
Paddle steamers using steam engines as power are a transitional product from the sailing ship era to the ship era. The technical difficulty is lower than that of propellers (mainly because the fault tolerance rate is higher when the technology is immature). It is also the technological tree that Iles climbed in the past. It is a must-have transitional technology at this time. Even if our own country enters a new era, we will not have to worry about selling the paddle steamers and let other countries take over.
But Ningguang was thinking about more than that. The chain reaction that more developed transportation conditions would bring was far more terrifying than its speed.
This represents a doubling of economic turnover efficiency, a profit rate of more than ten times, and an economic increment of more than a hundred times.
Ning Guang definitely didn't have such advanced and precise vision, but she knew the situation of her family very well.
Currently, the sailboats commonly used in Liyue and even Teyvat countries have a maximum speed of only ten knots in the downwind, and can even be suppressed to less than five knots in the headwind, and their size has also reached the limit.
It is difficult for a wooden sailing ship to exceed [-] tons (there are exceptions, Zheng He's treasure ship exceeded this tonnage, but the Ming Dynasty did not carry out world colonization, so the treasure ship did not become the main force in the Age of Discovery, and non-centralized countries did not want to Building such a nationally important weapon was indeed too difficult for Western countries at that time), but steamships can give humans the qualifications to challenge the [-]-ton class, and when enough steel is available, the era of ironclads will begin.
In fact, at this stage, some ships in Xumiru are already equipped with metal structures, mainly used to support steam engines. They are among the first batch of experimental sea-going ships, and their tonnage is generally around 90.00 tons, but their speed and efficiency are... It has surpassed traditional wooden sailing ships. What's more, the largest wooden sailing ship does not exceed [-] tons. This does not mean that all wooden sailing ships are [-] tons. In fact, Liyue, the largest trading country in Teyvat, [-] % of the sea-going ships are less than [-] tons.
Of course, they have the Jade Pavilion and the special Immortal Boat, which are powerful deterrents, but they are unable to mass-produce them.
There are already ten paddle steamers operating in Xumi, but they are still in the testing stage. They mainly maneuver around the coastline on Xumi's own side, but people living in Omos Port are already concerned about these fuming boats. Ships on fire are no strangers.
Some businessmen have even asked whether these boats can be sold. They want to have a try and be the leader of the new era.
After all this news was reported to Ningguang by the Liyue merchant, the Tianquan star's expression changed from shock to solemnity.
The businessman's intuition told her that things were definitely not that simple, and Xumi was definitely planning something.
"It seems that we need to have a face-to-face chat with the Red King."
Chapter 87: You can’t refuse
(Third update! Please give me a three-way link and capture a reader as an NPC. Who will take the initiative?)
The whistle sounded in the Port of Olmos, but the locals had long been accustomed to it. Instead, they looked at the startled old haters with an arrogant smile.
Boy, have you ever seen a steam paddle steamer?
"In this way, the final testing is completed and mass production can begin."
Iles was now standing at the highest point of Ormos Port, holding test data from the steam paddle steamer below.
Sister Naxi was sitting next to Iles, holding a glass of sweet milk in her hand. She was looking curiously at the steam paddle steamer slowly entering the harbor below.
,no name.
In fact, Iles was prepared to lose half of his money during the test.
However, the craftsmen and scholars of Xumi were rigorous enough and solved thousands of problems, large and small, during the testing process, allowing these steam paddle steamers to successfully complete the test.
Don't think that you can sit back and relax with a complete set of drawings and equipment, otherwise there will be no word "run-in".
People and equipment need to be run-in, the parts in the equipment need to be run-in, and the operation process needs to be run-in. In short, many places must be tested before you know what will happen, just like the developer of a washing machine will not think of anyone using it to wash potatoes.
Usage standards and actual usage are two different concepts.
"Ils, you are so good." Nacida said with a smile.
These paddle steamers were supposed to be tested secretly in a deserted place to avoid a shipwreck that would cause a technical panic and affect the subsequent promotion and use of paddle steamers. However, Iles directly let them be tested in public, and deliberately exposed them to people. The purpose of the large Ormos Port is to let many people know about the existence of steam paddle steamers, especially in Liyue.
I believe Liyue’s top management will soon realize what a sea-going ship with an economic speed of fifteen knots means.
Then they have to take the initiative to contact Xumi. In this way, the diplomatic initiative lies with Xumi.
Why did Iles do this?
Do you still remember the letters of credence that were sent out before? The response from various countries was mediocre, with no objection or approval. In short, the years were peaceful, as if nothing had happened.
This is not possible. International relations require endorsement from country to country. Even if others can ignore it, at least Liyue, a neighbor, should pay attention to it. But getting on the pole is not a business. Iers thinks that it is better to let the other party take the initiative to visit Xumi. , which can better demonstrate the importance of one's own side.
So it wasn't that Liyue knew about the steam paddle steamer, but that Ils needed them to know that there was such a thing.
Originally, he planned to use it as a deterrent, but now that the steam paddle steamer has completed testing and has excellent performance, mass production will begin.
When the time comes, these ships with an average speed of fifteen knots will crush Liyue's maritime trade, and he doesn't believe that Liyue can sit still.
"As long as Liyue is willing to cooperate, I don't mind sharing this technology with them."
The sharing Iers is talking about is sharing the design drawings, forget about the material formulas and the corresponding industrial production capacity. As far as Liyue's steel production is concerned, if they want to support an all-steel fleet, they have everything in their dreams. Even if they have With the help of immortals, they can only get a few high-quality ships at most, but they still have to kneel in front of the industrial assembly line.
Moreover, industrialized cheap mass production does not mean that the quality is inferior to handmade products. Just look at the book-pressing docks and the Iowa in the United States during World War II. The latter was completely crushed in terms of technology. Even if it was a battleship decisive battle, in the end, the little devil would cry. .
If it's a matter of quantity, then the kid has to call his father.
Find out more about the country-destroying fleet.
Therefore, the result of Liyue's sharing of technology is that the more they use it, the greater their dependence on Xumi becomes, forming a strong economic bond, and they cannot find an alternative in a short time. .
At that point, even if their Rock King Emperor is the number one Martial God, there is no way to solve the problem of interests of such old trees.
Unless he makes a clean cut, but that would be a rift. If Ils faces Morax, other worldly rulers will definitely be neutral for a period of time, or at most they will just have a fight. This period of time will be the time for the war between the two countries.
It’s hard to say whether things will come to that point, but Iles will prepare them according to the label.
Because dignity stands on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon.
“Ilse always sees the worst in people,” Sister Naci said.
"There is no way. My life experience tells me that if the gun is not hot, it will taste the coldness of the world. Good people will be bullied by others, and good horses will be ridden by others. There are thousands of truths in the world, and the underlying logic is supported by fists. "
"Including what you call a society governed by the rule of law?"
"The ultimate defense force of a society ruled by law is violent institutions. What everyone respects is not the law, but the electric batons and bullets behind the law. Laws backed by strong power are truly valuable laws."
"I understand, so strength is the foundation of everything, and strength is the backing of diplomacy."
"Yes, you learn quickly, Nasita."
The whistle sounded, and under the smoke of coal burning, a new era was slowly beginning.
"Three, two, one, detonate!"
With a loud noise, the last obstacle between Yesongyoujing and Erjingdian was blown away. The first phase of the Erjingdian water conservancy project was successfully completed. This road can divert at least one-third of Nam Nalan. The water capacity puts Nanam at risk of collapse.
"Thanks everyone for your hard work, cheers!"
"cheers!"
In order to celebrate the successful completion of the first phase of the project, Laila led everyone to hold a bonfire party to celebrate this historic moment. Although there are still many difficulties and obstacles waiting for everyone, after achieving this step, everyone will at least Saw hope.
At the very least, the population in the Erjingdian area has stabilized. Everyone feels that the project plan formulated by His Majesty the Red King can solve the problem of Nanamalan, so they began to actively participate in the construction of the factory, providing people, money and efforts, such as this time The food for the bonfire party was provided by the local catering industry. The locals were grateful for their efforts and full of expectations for the future.
"that is really good."
Laila walked up to the high ground with the drink in hand and looked at Nam Nalan in the distance. She felt like she was having a dream.
From the establishment of the project to the successful completion of the first phase, Leyla put in a lot of effort and almost all his energy was consumed in this aspect, while the communication work was entirely handled by Sano.
In the eyes of others, this is not communication at all, but a complete threat.
The blacklist of the gale discipline officer and the good cooperation work, choose one yourself.
Do you still have to choose?As long as you don't want to go to the desert to study the many uses of sand, you have to cooperate with the work honestly. No matter how much you are dissatisfied with Laila, a young man who is responsible for such a large project, you have to hold it back in front of Sano.
But it's not without its benefits. As long as you cooperate with the work, various commendations and promotions are absolutely indispensable. As long as the Dafeng Disciplinary Officer is willing to say a few good words, then he will definitely have a bright future.
So later on, people from other departments completely suppressed their dissatisfaction and fully cooperated with the work, which greatly improved the efficiency of project progress. The results were obvious, with delivery half a month ahead of schedule.
"Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job."
"Ah, Gale Disciplinary Officer..."
"Just call me Seno."
