Chapter 92: Ningguang’s visit
(Second update, do you have any good ways to relieve fatigue? ε=(?ο`*))) Alas)
Year 0000 of the Xumi New Calendar is the first year of the Xumi New Calendar and the beginning of the new era of Teyvat.
There is good news at the beginning of this year, that is, Juxiang Coast has reopened.
As you can tell from the name, Juxiang Coast, there are many very fragrant people gathered here.
Just kidding, the real reason is that there is the cemetery of Fontaine’s last water god nearby. Different from the setting in the game, the real Juxiang Coast is surrounded by a large plain surrounded by a small ring of mountains, covering an area of up to 100 million square kilometers. , but the level of development is very low. At most, it can only grow some spices.
This is mainly because this place is too far away from the core area of Xumi where the Great Ci Tree King protected, which is equivalent to the distance between the frontier and the Central Plains. As a result, this place is not protected by the grass god. In addition, this place was once a battlefield, and there are a lot of weird and strange things here. With creatures sloshing around, the locals simply cannot effectively develop the area, so more than [-]% of the local population is on the Juxiang Coast. At the same time, a small area of this plain is developed to grow spices. This is also the origin of the Juxiang Coast.
There is another theory that it has something to do with the Goddess of Flowers, but this is not something Ils has considered. Who is the Goddess of Flowers?Not familiar.
Perhaps the climate and environment in the Xumi area are so suitable that the local spices quickly became distinctive (mainly because of the single type of spices and the development of single crops and serious involution), so it became the second largest export of spices in Xumi. Although it is the second largest area (Port Olmos is the largest), it is just like there are only two space stations in the sky above the earth. The gap between the two is very large. After all, the total local population is less than [-]. , what kind of bike do you want?
Due to the remote geographical location and poor communication with the core area of Xumi, in the past, communication between the locals and the Order took the sea route. After all, if you go south, you have to cross the desert. Considering the various strange shapes and shapes on this road, Monsters and ghosts, it's slightly safer to take a boat.
But the distance is also very long, because there is Nata to the west of Sumeru. Going south from the Juxiang Coast is equivalent to bypassing the entire Nata. Even if there is a port supply in the middle, this process is quite difficult. The speed limit of a sailboat is there. There's no point in being anxious.
In recent decades, due to various misbehaviors of the Order, the attention paid to remote areas has plummeted, and they don't care about people's lives or lives. In this case, there is no need for people in Juxiang Coast to care about the reaction of the Order. an erratic state of autonomy.
That is to say, there is no such thing as the United States in Teyvat, otherwise it will take advantage of every opportunity to split you up.
However, the agricultural situation on the Juxiang Coast is obviously not comparable to that of Xumi, and food supply depends on it. Therefore, even though it is far from the core area, sea transportation is laborious, and land connections are intermittent, but They still understand the actual changes in Xumi.
For example, the great Red King returned to his loyal Sumeru.
The Command Academy has also become a Command Academy with a completely different name. Although the functions are the same, since the name and boss have been changed, the policies must also change. Besides, the Red King is the king of our desert people, so there is nothing he can do about it. Reject us.
So the merchants from Juxiang Coast anxiously asked to see the Red King, and then received the warm hospitality of Ils.
I think back then, Iles was also a good person who liked to dye maps. Of course, he would not give up any strategic location. The Juxiang Coast requires land and resources, and resources. In addition to the population, which needs to be supplemented by subsequent development, as a All the features of important resource output points are not lacking, and there is absolutely no reason to give up.
Moreover, Nasida is also growing up, and she will definitely be able to take over the grass god’s protection in the future. Even if the grass god’s protection cannot take care of the past in a short period of time, the local land is equivalent to at least two Ukrainian black lands. How can she let it go? This principle must be vigorously developed, and we must use the energy to reclaim the Great Northern Wilderness. Here I come to Juxiang Coast!
The locals who received the warm hospitality were naturally very excited. For the first time in history, they were treated as their own subjects by the supreme ruler of Xumi. Naturally, they knew everything they knew.
Iles showed them the results achieved by Xumi during this period, as well as the subsequent development plan, which naturally included Juxiang Coast.
It's just that the commander's office didn't know much about the actual situation on the Juxiang Coast at that time, so the plan was relatively macroscopic and lacked many details.
Originally, Iles planned to send staff to the Juxiang Coast for on-the-spot investigation. Now that they have returned on their own initiative, of course they must make good use of this opportunity and work together for the future of Xumi.
Then the people of Juxiang Coast immediately felt the great changes in Xumi.
They knew very well what kind of virtues the former Order House had. People were careless about things, selling out their official positions, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. They were only interested in places where they could make money. As for the local difficulties, I'm sorry, please wait a moment. It will be taken care of right away. When will it be taken care of, you ask?Right now, right now, do you understand? Right now, just wait and it will be fine.
Did you send someone to deal with it immediately, or are you on Indian time?
The people of Juxiang Coast, who are insignificant and talkative, can only endure it and dare not speak out if they dare to get angry. Anyway, they are far away from the core area. If you don't care about us, then we will take care of ourselves. You can do whatever you want, but I won't take care of you anymore!
Now His Majesty the Red King not only remembers them, but even takes them into consideration when considering future development. Looking at the changes in Xumi now, I am touched. I am really touched. Your Majesty, we will follow you in the future! ! !
As a practical person, Iers knows how to win over the people of Juxiang Coast. After all, they have been separated from the central management of Xumi for too long. You have to spend real money and improve their lives. They Only then can I truly convince you, so Iles first waved his hand and granted them five [-]-ton steam paddle steamers.
It’s not that they are reluctant to give bigger ones, but the largest steam paddle steamer in Xumiru is only [-] tons. The manufacturing technology for large-scale ships is only available in Liyue next door. Even if Iers provides a full set of technologies, digests and absorbs them, As well as training enough shipbuilders, it will take at least five years, ten years to be conservative.
After all, this is a sea-going ship. Before mankind went to the stars and the sea, sea-going ships were the largest mobile vehicles created by mankind. (Let me see if there are any gangsters who farm floating island platforms at sea. Do you think any country uses that thing now? For conventional vehicles), the technical complexity takes time to digest. Unless Alhaysen’s research department comes up with a method tomorrow that can use canned knowledge in batches without any side effects, the time for cultivating personnel is It's hard to shorten.
In fact, it will take nearly half a century for Iles to progress steadily on the technological tree of the shipbuilding industry. This is when a full set of information is complete. This length of time can make our shipbuilding industry as mature as possible and accumulate enough Much experience.
Some things cannot be described in words, and naturally cannot be summarized as knowledge. For example, the feel of an eighth-level mechanic can only be piled up. There is no other way, just like the training of a machine gunner, a pile of bullets. All the auxiliary means used in this process are trivial. Even with ten thousand rounds of ammunition, a monkey will know how to use a machine gun.
It is said that some African armies are worse than monkeys.
I remember that when Iles helped Sankara train the army, the gang of black uncles gave him a great psychological shadow. He spent a lot of effort, combined with literacy and political work, to train them.
But let’s be honest, the trained black uncles are really fortresses in battle. The French Foreign Legion was wiped out eight times by Iles. After Burkina Faso took out the nuclear bomb, France was completely reduced to a third-rate country. , Iles also became a professional breast milk practitioner in that world.
Damn, I was a mustache back then, and Napoleon also lost to me. It’s just France, (ˉ▽ ̄~) Tsk~~
Of course, Iles also played the role of Napoleon and beat up the Holy Roman Empire. We must clearly distinguish between the butt and the head.
Do you have Jingluo? Come out and show it (*?ω?).
Just when Ils was looking at Xumi to make arrangements, Liyue's guests arrived.
The Heavenly Power Star of the Seven Stars of Liyue condenses its light and visits Xumi.
Chapter 93: Give Ningguang a little shock
(I went home and coded the first update non-stop. This is the third update today. Is there a third update (*?ω?))
Ningguang and his party came from the sea, taking a machine ship - the Tianquan.
Just from the name, you can tell that it was built by Ningguang himself.
It is equipped with fifty magic ballistas that can fire continuously and are extremely powerful. The prototype is the final machine, which is a downgraded product. After all, although the original product can be used by mortals, it is a real creation of God. Even Liyue's immortal People can build but cannot arm the Tianquan with fifty terminal machines, so this kind of magical ballistae that can be built by Liyue craftsmen has become the main equipment of the Tianquan, like the side of a battleship. There were 20 cannons deployed on each side, three in front and two in the rear.
In addition, there are Liyue's mountain cannons, but these are scaled-down versions. Even if the original mountain cannons can be installed, the recoil of the cannons will shatter the deck. There are two in the front and two in the back.
The Tianquan's top speed can reach 30 knots, which is quite terrifying.
But there are only two such ships in the entire Liyue (the other one is the Death Omen), but there are no less than thirty paddle steamers in Xumi, and the largest one has reached a displacement of two thousand tons.
This displacement is the same as that of the Tianquan, which is already a remarkable achievement in the field of wooden ships.
The Xumi people are mass-producing these brand-new ships, but Liyue is completely dismissive of the technology.
It cannot be said that they are absolutely ignorant. Fontaine also has steam engines, but their mass production speed is obviously not as good as Xumi's. Their fleet can already form a continuous flow. It is obvious that Xumi's technology in this area is better. Mature and cheaper.
And Ningguang also noticed that since Xumi mass-produced steam paddle steamers until now, the amount of rare minerals imported by Xumi from Liyue has not increased, and even decreased last quarter.
This shows that no rare materials were used on the steam paddle steamers, and they were all mass-produced with conventional materials.
Xumi is not particularly secretive about the technology of the steam engine. It allows visitors to visit and learn more about it. Immortals from Liyue once visited it and came to the conclusion that it smelled like steel, coal and water, without any elemental power. reaction.
Ningguang immediately realized that this was a brand-new technology that could be used by mortals and could be mass-produced.
Quantity can overwhelm everything until there is no overwhelming gap in quality.
If this trend continues, when the number of steam paddle steamers in Xumiru soars to three digits, the trade situation between the two countries will be completely reversed. It is not that Xumiru will not import Liyue's goods, but that Liyue will employ a large number of people. And using Xumi's ships can ensure that one's own logistics costs will not be crushed by the other party.
Otherwise, Liyue's businessmen will go bankrupt on a large scale, leading to widespread unemployment. The resulting chain reaction will plunge the entire Liyue into turmoil.
Ning Guang has no doubt that this day will come, unless Liyue also has her own steam engine.
Stealing it directly is definitely not possible. It is said that the inventor of the steam engine is the Red King himself. Stealing things from the gods. If the other party gets angry and turns against Liyue, the cost will be too high, so unless there is really no other choice, the condensation tendency Instead of using trade to solve the problem, let's sit down and talk first. Peace is the most important thing and we should respect each other.
So Ning Guang's visit came about, and he came specifically from the sea.
She wanted to see how Xumi's maritime trade had developed.
Then I discovered that basically every once in a while, you can see one or two steam paddle boats passing by. The iconic black smoke is so conspicuous. In broad daylight, when there is no sea fog, you can see it even after ten minutes. It can be seen from a few kilometers away.
These steam paddle steamers vary in size, and are basically cargo models. No weapons are seen on them.
Aren't they afraid of pirates?
They must not be afraid, because the pirates are not as fast as them. If the current steam paddle steamers were not able to run back and forth from Inazuma to Sumeru in one go, they would have gone to Inazuma to greet the people of the island country. .
Why do you have to run back and forth, you ask?
Because the seaport of Daozhu cannot replenish coal at present, it is not impossible to burn wood. The problem is how much wood must be loaded to burn all the way back. In addition, there was no direct route between Xumi and Daozhu before (grain trade was all through Liyue Port) , and then find local merchants who specialize in running rice wife for trade), so this road has not been challenged for the time being.
But it's only a matter of time.
"What a spectacular sight."
Ningguang said this, but her heart was very complicated. That night, she re-planned her visit to Xumi in her study and predicted the difficulties she might encounter.
The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and she does not fight an unprepared battle.
"Ah, the sea breeze is so comfortable."
"Paimon, don't fall."
"I don't know how. By the way, Ying, will your brother be in Xumi?"
(In this book, Emperor Yanwang did not pretend to be dead. The reason has been written before. After witnessing the strange operations of the Order, he felt that he did not understand human beings very well. In line with his responsible attitude towards Liyue, Morak Si feels that he should supervise for another two years. By the way, he has not left his wife yet)
"I don't know either, but I have to take a look."
"Then I will accompany you!"
"Thank you, Paimon."
"You're welcome, we are companions."
A certain yellow-haired traveler is now Ningguang's guard, temporarily. When Ying was in Liyue, he helped Tianquan Star do something and gained her appreciation and trust. After learning that Ying was going to Xu Mi, and he happened to be going there, so he took her and Paimon with him.
The next morning, the loud whistle woke up the people on the Tianquan. They were not far from the port of Ormos.
"What a loud sound, what happened?" Pamon asked curiously.
At this time, Ningguang, who also came to the deck, said: "It is the launching ceremony of a new ship at the Port of Ormos."
"New ship launching ceremony?" Ying looked at Ningguang doubtfully.
Ning Guang pointed into the distance and said, "We'll see it soon."
Soon, the Tianquan entered the Port of Ormos. At this time, the western port area of the Port of Ormos was crowded with people. There were businessmen and tourists from other places, and there were also many locals who came here specifically to watch the launching ceremony of the new ship.
As steam paddle steamer technology matures, new ships are being launched at the Dalyan Shipyard in Port of Ormos at an increasingly faster pace.
Although the technology is not a breakthrough in all fields, software optimization can be carried out in the manufacturing process. Dalian Shipyard has enjoyed a gift package of cash management models given by Iles. They are all management models and management methods that match the current situation, which greatly speeds up the process. The launching speed of new ships has been greatly improved. No, five steam paddle steamers were launched in one go. What a big deal!
The tonnage is a bit small, the largest one only has a displacement of [-] tons, and the smallest one has a displacement of only [-] tons. But compared with the various main wooden sailboats running on the sea at this time, this displacement is quite good.
Among Liyue's ships, there are quite a few [-]-ton ships, which in modern times can only be called boats.
But at this time, a ship with a displacement of [-] tons is called a destroyer.
Since a new ship is being launched, all kinds of blessings must be prayed for. Xumi’s unique launching ceremony is to find a dancer to dance. It is said that this can get the blessing of the Red King.
It makes sense to use the Goddess of Flowers to attract the Red King, right? (Ils: Don’t look at me, you can’t attract me).
It is said that the first navy in the history of Xumi was built by the Red King. Although the scale was similar to that of an armed sampan, it also proved the profound historical development heritage of Xumi. What's more, which country's navy didn't start with sampans? Yes, don't look down on the Yellow Water Battleship of the year just because you have a fishing boat of tens of thousands of tons. Those are old-timers whose medals can be hung as body armor.
Ning Guang looked at the steam paddle boats that were slowly launching into the water, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.
Looking at the volume, you can tell that the tonnage of Xumi's ships is now generally based on a displacement of [-] tons. Although the upper limit is not as good as Liyue's fleet, the lower limit is five times higher.
Moreover, many facilities in Ormos Port are steamed and steeled, and the cranes are all neat cranes. Wooden materials are rarely seen on the structures. This shows that Xumi's steel production is rising.
Especially when Ning Guang noticed that there was a layer of iron plate on the outside of a steam paddle steamer.
Even if it's just made of pig iron, it's still very scary.
“I didn’t expect that the entrance to Olmos Port could give me so many surprises.”
Chapter 94: The fourth year of Mogasuri
(Fourth update, good night everyone (?3[▓▓])
In the Jingshan Palace (newly built, much smaller than the original version, but still has three rooms and one living room) in Xumi City (formerly Kavanyi), Ils is giving Nasida a lesson.
As the leader of Xumi, Nacida's contractor and part-time teacher, Ils's rich life experience made Nacida obsessed with him.
Maybe Nacida didn't realize it herself. Basically, as long as Ils took her with her when he went out, she would be held in Ils's arms. At first, Ils did it for convenience, but later it was Nacida who took the initiative. of.
Because there is an indescribable sense of security, as if there is nothing to be afraid of if the whole world collapses.
Anyway, Iles will definitely push it back.
The process of teaching Nasida by Ilse was also entertaining and focused on guidance and practical operation. There was very little cramming. After all, he had taught many students with the teacher back then and was a professional in this area. very.
Although Nacida is very old in time, her mental age is actually about the same as that of a child, so she also has the curiosity and willfulness that children have, but the expression is different. Nacida is more mature, but her life experience is there, so Her action pattern was easy for Ilse to guess.
Don’t you admire me? That’s because the people Ise played guessing with back then were all the gentry of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the tycoons of the late Han Dynasty, and the local aristocratic families of the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties. If you guessed it right, continue next time. If you guessed it wrong, the wholesale of nine ethnic groups. Isn't that fair?
Anyway, Iles thought it was fair.
Nasida was very fond of Ilse's stories, such as "Lin Daiyu uprooted the weeping willows", "Zhao Zilong's Fengxueshan Temple", "Kong Ming's calculation borrowed the east wind 21D", "Liu Bei crooked his mouth to seize Hanzhong", "Sun Wukong beats Huang Gai with a stick" and so on. It's so interesting, even though some of the content feels weird, but who doesn't like interesting stories.
Moreover, Ilse's stories are never told in vain. They are all prepared and related to recent events. So while listening to the stories, Nasida is also learning to govern the country and face human nature.
"Fortunately, no one died of starvation."
Iers breathed a sigh of relief. The success of the Erjingdian project made him feel relieved.
