Chapter 201 Workshop

This is because Chinese engineers have spent several years to absorb and understand the core technologies, such as train and rail control systems, command systems, etc., which means that the design involves many technical aspects and is very complicated. The processes such as design, such as mathematics and physics, are very complicated and difficult to understand. It is estimated that except for the scientists who were studying this project, it is very difficult for others to understand this technology.

Therefore, Chinese scientists ultimately did not digest Germany's magnetic levitation technology and absorb it into their own technology, because in this process, they encountered too many difficulties. If they wanted to continue to promote magnetic levitation railways in China, they would rely heavily on the direct technical guidance of the Germans. For example, one day the guide rail control system of the magnetic levitation railway failed, and the fault was relatively complicated. Chinese engineers could not handle it, so they could only ask Germans to build the railway. However, if there was a problem with the relationship between Germany and China, our railway system would have to be paralyzed and could not be used. This would be very unfavorable to the country's strategic security.

That's why China finally gave up the magnetic levitation technology and chose the high-speed rail technology that is easier to master. Later China's high-speed rail technology has already led the world, and many of its technological achievements were the first in the world. However, many of the initial technologies were assisted by Germany's Siemens. After digestion and absorption, the Chinese have developed new generation of EMUs and other technologies.

Therefore, it can be seen that under the guidance of mature technologies, technical research will become much simpler, and the financial, manpower and material resources will be much smaller. Of course, if this technology is too complex and difficult to understand and absorb, it may be no different from starting research. It even takes more time to figure it out than before before it can meet certain technical standards. However, most technologies will not be difficult to understand and absorb, which is also very important for technological updates.

In short, the development of technology cannot be achieved overnight, especially in the field of high-tech technology. The levels involved are very numerous and complex. Without strong industrial foundation support, a new technology cannot be effectively promoted. This requires a country to have complete industrial categories and extensive technical support to achieve it. It is difficult to achieve comprehensive promotion for a while, and it must be progressed step by step.

These technical understandings are worthy of attention when the new China is formulating the scientific and technological and industrial development plan. They must not put forward the slogan of the Great Leap Forward, shouting the slogan of industrial production in five years and over the United States in ten years. As a result, everyone has seen it. Not only has it not surpassed, but it has been left farther away. That is, the lack of basic understanding of the country's industrial development status and the world's industrial level, lack of understanding of the technological development cycle, and the failure to formulate scientific industrial and technological development plans.

Therefore, step by step is the path that the new China needs to take, and it is also a relatively long path. Chinese people must have a clear understanding, not overestimate their abilities, nor do they underestimate themselves. Under the guidance of correct ideas, move forward slowly and finally achieve the goals we need.

After the government formulated policies and plans to allow virtual teachers to act as technical instructors, plans for the construction of large industrial parks in various provinces have gradually begun. The industrial parks are within a certain distance from the education parks in each provincial capital, making it convenient for the use of virtual teachers in both parks at the same time.

It is expected that some factories in the industrial park will be put into production one after another within the year, and some factories with short construction cycles have already been put into operation. The construction of the Nanjing Industrial Park located in Xiaguan District, Nanjing is also in full swing, and the construction site is also in full swing.

At this time, it was still mainly used for transportation such as horse carriages and ox carriages. Manpower became the most important resource. There were transporting vehicles and workers everywhere on the construction site. Every factory building began to show prototypes. Some of them had already been covered, and the equipment in the factory was in place. There were rumbling sounds of mechanical equipment running in the factory.

The power source of the factory is also provided by the thermal power plant located near the park. The construction of thermal power plants has been launched long ago to meet the needs of industrial production. During this period, residents' electricity consumption was not common, and many urban residents also used kerosene lamps. There were not many households using electric lamps, so the electricity was mainly provided to the industrial sector for use.

The planned area of ​​the park is 20 square kilometers, and ten square kilometers were built in advance. The scale will be further expanded depending on the situation. By around August of the Gregorian calendar, the industrial park has a certain scale. From a distance, crisscrossing roads have appeared. Some roads have been covered with cement, some roads are still covered with loess and are paving sand and stones. Street lights have begun to be erected on both sides of the road, and high lamp poles are erected by the roadside, and a modern atmosphere is revealed.

The construction standards of Nanjing Industrial Park are of course not as good as those of later generations. It can be seen from the sparse street lights that in order to save construction funds, the street lights on each road are very limited, and there is only one street light every few dozen meters. Moreover, street lights are not often used. There are not many cars in this era, and there are no trucks in factories that will enter and exit, so traffic accidents will not occur due to the lack of street lights.

In addition, the greening is also much worse. In addition to the several scattered trees and flowers on the side of the road, there is no large-scale planting of trees. Most of the walls of the factory are earthen brick walls. The factory buildings use plastic products and steel structures in large quantities, and the principle of saving is also implemented. They do not pursue luxury, but mainly use practicality.

The industrial categories of the park are divided into several areas, and factories such as steelmaking, papermaking, chemical and other types that require water sources are set up on the edge of the Yangtze River to facilitate water withdrawal.

Of course, sewage treatment is also an important task, but the sewage treatment technology of this era cannot keep up. Domestic and industrial wastewater is basically discharged directly into the Yangtze River and Neihu River. Inner River and water pollution is inevitable, but a small amount of wastewater does not have a substantial impact on large rivers like the Yangtze River. Later, the wastewater from large steel companies such as Wuhan Iron and Baosteel was discharged directly into the Yangtze River. Later, foreign wastewater treatment plants were introduced to carry out wastewater transformation and reuse projects, which did not cause fundamental changes in the water quality of the Yangtze River.

At present, the problem of sewage treatment has not been promoted all over the world. Sewage treatment is basically a high-energy-consuming and inefficient industry, so no factory is willing to invest money to do such a thankless thing. During this period, sewage treatment plants have appeared in Europe, but in China, there is basically no concept. Sewage is directly discharged into rivers and lakes, or is discharged locally into the soil, which will not cause much pollution to the ecology for the time being. However, with the development of industry, sewage treatment problems still need to be prepared early and prepared for the future.

There is a newly built factory in Nanjing Industrial Park. There is a large workshop in this factory, about 10,000 square meters. There are lathes, milling machines, planers, grinders and other equipment arranged in regular manner. There are also separate workshops such as welding and fitters. Under the leadership of several technicians familiar with the equipment, workers are busy carrying various production materials and placing various equipment. A corner of the wall is piled with steel of various shapes. Some workers are picking up some and putting them in boxes to carry them all over the workshop.

This large workshop was just built and contains thirty or fifty new workers. They are not formal workers, but newly recruited from Zhenhua Machinery Factory and sent to the trainees here for training. They have to go back to the Nanjing Branch of Zhenhua Machinery Factory to go back to work.

There are several branches of Zhenhua Machinery Factory in Nanjing, several of which are military factories that produce guns and cannons, but they are conducting production in the name of civilian factories, and in order to keep it confidential. Most of the factories have not been completed and put into production, and only a part of the military workshops that were originally moved from Shanghai have begun to be put into production.

A worker was holding a cardboard box containing various metal materials. In a hurry, the young man in his early twenties walked a little fast and walked quickly along the aisle of the workshop towards dozens of neatly arranged lathes. There were leading technicians waiting for him to take the box over and assign it to each lathe.

When the young man walked to a three-way road, he was rushing to the entrance of the road when suddenly a man in Zhongshan suit walked out of the roadside. The man had short hair and black-framed glasses. He looked like he was in his thirties. His hair was a bit too clean and neat, and he seemed to be spotless. Every hair was very soft, none of which was slit, and the clothes on the man were spotless. This was very rare in the factory area. The factory area was full of dust, and the workers' work clothes were more or less stained with some engine oil, rust, iron filings and other things.

"Borrow, borrow." The young man did not have time to get out of the man because of his inertia, and rushed over directly. Seeing that he was about to hit the awkwardly clean gentleman, the young man chuckled his eyes anxiously and shouted.

The man was unmoved at all, and looked calm and calm. He turned his head without any panic and smiled at the panicked young man. The young man couldn't stop the car and directly hit him.

At the last moment, the young man thought that he would definitely be full of collision with this person. This person looked not ordinary in identity, and seemed to be a character that was not easy to mess with. At least he was a workshop director. He was ready to collide with this person, and then hurriedly apologized to this person to resolve the embarrassing situation at this time.

Chapter 202: Guidance of Virtual Teachers

However, when the young man was surprised, he did not hear the thud that should have made, but found that he had walked over. He looked down and saw that the box in his hand was still there, he did not fall, and there was no pain or resistance to hit the man. He walked over intact.

"What's going on?" The young man was stunned. The monk Erzhang muttered to himself.

When the young man turned around, he found that the man was looking at him with his perfect and smooth face. The man was still standing at the intersection just now without moving. The young man was stunned. The first thing he thought of was the paranormal in martial arts novels. He thought otherwise, why would he not have bumped into this person? It must have been this person who used magical powers such as the Great Transfer of the Universe and gave him over.

"Young man, I sniffed a cigarette and said slowly: "There are many videos of this kind of armored vehicle in the virtual system. When the school teaches students, these videos can be called out for students to refer to as practical reference. Then you can understand the usefulness of this weapon on the battlefield. Don't doubt its practicality. This guy is very capable."

"This kind of armored vehicle has strong battlefield penetration capabilities. It can drive straight into the opponent's position, quickly destroy and attack the enemy's main defense facilities and main forces, and achieve the effect that traditional infantry has not achieved. Its destructive power must be tested on the battlefield. You have not seen it show its power on the battlefield yet. Of course, you just treat it as an ordinary cannon. You will gradually understand it in the future." Li Tiancheng continued to explain.

"This thing looks very sturdy, it's just a mobile iron house. It's just a little expensive, more than several times more expensive than ordinary howitzers and cannons. I wonder if it's a good deal to build it?" Huang Xing was also looking at the tank that had just started and made a rumbling sound, and then asked with his neck tilted.

"Don't worry, I promise that it is a real guy, you get what you pay for. In the future, our infantry will be able to move forward with its help. It is easy to move through the enemy's position. There is currently no weapon in the world that can block its progress. Although the number of the first batch of armored vehicles will not be too large, as long as we are equipped with it, our offensive ability will be greatly enhanced. It is incomparable to ordinary artillery. In the future, you will definitely have the opportunity to see it show its power on the battlefield." Li Tiancheng explained again.

"This thing looks really good. With it, it is very convenient for us to fight the enemy, and the enemy is completely passively beaten. For local battlefields, I think it will be an extremely sharp sharp knife that directly stabs the enemy's heart and leaves, causing the enemy's defense to collapse instantly." Ma Chaoyun had some different opinions from Yan Lisan and Huang Xing, and seemed to have a high evaluation of this kind of armored vehicle.

"Brother Ma is really a keen eye to recognize heroes. In the early stages of the emergence of a brand new concept weapon, not many people can see that it is really practical. Brother Ma is one of them." Li Tiancheng smiled and said.

"President, our fiscal revenue has increased a lot this year. This year, the president should propose to allocate more funds to our defense department. Our two aircraft carriers have been in construction for more than half a year. The project is undertaken by the Jiangnan Shipyard, a subsidiary of Zhenhua Group. The fighter plan drawing design stage has ended. The construction of the aircraft is about to start. If we don't have money, we can't play with it?" Huang Xing seemed to have begun to accept Li Tiancheng's opinion, nodded slightly, but then suddenly thought of something and changed the subject.

"Today, the government's fiscal revenue increased by about 75% compared with the same period last year, which is a good start and a year of great financial harvest. Excluding the factory part in the industrial park, the tax revenue we can receive has exceeded 5 billion dragon coins, while the tax revenue in the industrial park part is as high as 4.5 billion dragon coins, and the overall fiscal revenue exceeds one hundred billion, which is more than 4 billion yuan than about 6 billion last year." Speaking of fiscal revenue, Li Tiancheng smiled knowingly. The significant increase in industrial profits and profit tax has alleviated the government's financial difficulties to a certain extent.

"My proposal this year is to increase investment in education by more than 20%, reaching a scale of about 3 billion dragon coins. In addition to continuing to expand the school building, the part that could not keep up with the campus construction in the early stage needs to be made up for, so that primary school students cannot live too hard. Now that we have the conditions, of course we must raise the construction standards."

"Another key is national defense investment. This year, our aircraft carrier construction must be accelerated. The two 20,000-ton aircraft carriers that were planned to be built in the early stage must be completed in the second half of 1913, and strive to enter the active naval force sequence around New Year's Day 1914. The time is a bit tight, and it will be shortened by nearly half of the normal construction cycle. We must urge the shipyard to strive to catch up with the construction period. However, with ready-made technical information, the shipyard and steam turbine manufacturer should not have a big problem, and it is much simpler than building the first warship that has never been built before."

"Each aircraft carrier needs to be equipped with more than 60 carrier-based aircraft, plus the first batch of Iron Armor 1, Zhenhua brand cars, motorcycle installations, and national defense construction funds, 4 billion dragon coins are required. That is to say, all of our fiscal revenue increase this year have been invested in education, and the majority have been invested in national defense construction." Li Tiancheng continued to explain. "I hope you will continue to support my proposal. The last time Congress passed the fiscal appropriation proposal for the construction of aircraft carriers is also due to your strong support. I am preparing for the future war in China, because Japan is still entrenched in northern China and is our biggest concern. Therefore, military construction is the top priority in the early days of our country's founding and must be done well."

"That's so thankful to the president. I'm just worried about this matter. If the president doesn't express this attitude, we really don't know what to do. With the 4 billion new national defense investment, aircraft carriers, armored vehicles, fighter jets, and military vehicles will be successfully installed, and our army's combat effectiveness will advance greatly. I, as the Minister of Defense, naturally feel more relieved." Although Huang Xing is a member of the Kuomintang, he has a strong concept of national loyalty. He focuses on national interests in everything. In the Kuomintang, he is also the most inclined to promote close cooperation between the two parties and reduce differences, and does not have many selfish people. This is why Li Tiancheng valued him and appointed him as Minister of Defense.

"Who proposed the concept of aircraft carrier first? Is it already available in textbooks? This name is good. I really don't know who came up with such a fresh naval equipment and arranged fighter jets on warships. It's a genius idea. I guess the military forces of various countries will be shocked when they see our aircraft carrier." Ma Chaoyun continued. "With this kind of equipment, our navy does not need to equip battleships like big guys. The range of the aircraft is much further than the large-caliber naval guns on battleships. We can launch attacks on enemy fleets far away from the sea. The use of battleships seems to be not very large."

"Tell you, the names of these new equipment were originally found in textbooks in the virtual system. The system gave it such a nice name, which we can use, so we can save the effort to name it." Li Tiancheng smiled.

"In addition, what you are right. According to the textbook, this kind of aircraft carrier was designed to replace the use of battleships. The battleships will gradually withdraw from the stage of history because of their appearance. Therefore, there is no need for our army to develop a large number of equipment such as battleships." Li Tiancheng continued to explain.

Chapter 208 War Prophecy

"If the appearance of armored vehicles will attract other countries to quickly imitate similar products, and the emergence of aircraft carriers will make it impossible for them to imitate similar equipment in a short time."

"The construction of an aircraft carrier platform is not very complicated, and it can even be converted into an aircraft carrier using ordinary cargo ships. However, the key to the combat effectiveness of an aircraft carrier is aircraft carrier-based aircraft. It will take at least five years for countries to develop aircraft carrier-based aircraft. If our carrier-based aircraft successfully test flights this year, we will be more than a few years ahead of the world."

"If the aircraft carrier-based aircraft test is successful, mass production will begin in the second half of the year. More than 100 carrier-based aircraft must be launched for training next year. To master the take-off and landing of aircraft carriers, it will take some time to explore. It must reserve a certain amount of time to familiarize the combat performance of this new equipment, study the tactics of rational use, and ultimately form a strong combat power." Li Tiancheng said slowly again.

"With these two aircraft carriers, our army can make up for the shortcomings of warship tonnage and warships. In local naval battles, our army should be invincible in the world. It's really gratifying." Yan Li continued with expectation in his eyes.

"Well, the emergence of aircraft carriers will completely change the traditional naval warfare model. Before countries can adapt to this new equipment, our aircraft carrier fleet will undoubtedly have absolute advantages. With the protection of submarines and destroyers, the overall combat capability of the fleet will be equivalent to several traditional fleets. One aircraft carrier fleet should be no less than three enemy fleets with the same tonnage at the same time." Li Tiancheng said again.

"The three items provided by President Li are really in time. Their gradual arrangement will greatly promote our military power and make the Japanese completely scared." Ma Chaoyun continued. "President Li has developed his military equipment on such a large scale, and I am afraid that he has already planned to use them to deal with the Japanese. I wonder when the President will attack the Japanese?" Ma Chaoyun's eyes flashed a few times, and he turned to look at Li Tiancheng and asked.

"The one who knows me is Ma Chaoyun. I have put so much effort into developing national defense. The primary enemy is Japan. This thorn in Japan must be removed and they cannot stay in the northern part of our country. Now Yuan Shikai and Puyi have become puppets of the Japanese and will only be at their mercy. If this continues, the north will sooner or later fall into the hands of the Japanese. On land, we have no absolute advantage, we must rely on the power of the navy and air force." Li Tiancheng laughed and then smiled and closed.

"As for when to attack Japan, I think it should be around 1914." Li Tiancheng then pondered for a moment, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice.

"Why is it in 1914?" Ma Chaoyun said in confusion. He had already sensed that Li Tiancheng had an astonishing judgment on the development of the future situation. Since Li Tiancheng said this this time, he must have made sense.

"This is my prediction. I expect that the contradictions between world capitalist powers are growing rapidly. The accumulation of contradictions between them will sooner or later reach a historical critical point. Once this critical point is broken, the conflict between the two sides will break out in the situation of war."

"And this future war is likely to be an unprecedented large-scale war in the era of hot weapons for mankind. Before this war comes, we must prepare for the future and wait until the war breaks out, that is, the moment we can make great progress." Li Tiancheng responded slowly.

"Oh, how can I see it?" Yan Lisan also knew that Li Tiancheng's unfathomableness and his strong ability to predict future things were well known to Zhuge Liang in advance, and immediately asked with interest.

"Explaining this issue requires analysis from the current world pattern. The current world situation seems stable, but in fact there are still many hidden dangers. Although the contradictions between many countries have been temporarily put on hold, once these complex contradictions break out in a concentrated manner, the vibration caused will be severe and may affect the entire world."

"As you can see that there is an emerging power in Europe that is rising at this time, with a strong development momentum, and it is very strong and it is very popular to surpass Britain and France. At present, the world pattern is relatively stable. Britain and France occupy the interests of most of the world's colonies and regions. The rise of an emerging power will surely break this balance and have friction with Britain and France in terms of interests. When the conflicts between the two sides accumulate to a certain extent, it will reach an incompatible situation and create irreconcilable conflicts. A struggle to re-dividate the world's colonies and broad economic interests is about to begin. This struggle may soon escalate to the war model. Large-scale wars are likely to unfold in this conflicted area in Europe." Li Tiancheng began to explain in detail.

"The principal is talking about Germany. The Germans are indeed catching up with Britain and France in terms of industrial development and technical strength, and they are in a fast momentum, which is a trend to challenge the status of these two old capitalist empires, especially the global hegemony. Germany's colonies and vested interests around the world cannot be compared with Britain and France. A large number of resources in the world are controlled by Britain and France. Germany's further development requires a large amount of energy and funds to maintain. If the vast majority of the world continue to be controlled by Britain and France, Germany will never be able to surpass Britain and France as a whole, so there will definitely be huge conflicts in interests between them." Yan Lisan continued. When he was in school, he studied colonial history a lot and knew all aspects of European colonies very well.

"It's well said that the first one in the world to obtain overseas colonies was not the two industrial and military powers of Britain and France, but the Spanish and the Dutch. After Columbus discovered the American continent, Spain massacred a large number of Indians there and then immigrated to the Americas, making America a veritable colony. At that time, almost all the colonies in the world belonged to them." Li Tiancheng said again.

As the few people were talking, they got on the car. Li Tiancheng took Huang Xing, Ma Chaoyun, and Yan Lisan to his car and continued their topic. Tiejia No. 1 also slowly began to drive through the factory gate and towards the cement road outside. The huge vibration made the ground tremble slightly. When this terrifying big guy passed by, the soldiers standing guard couldn't help but feel awe at it, and their minds were rippling.

"But with the emergence of British industrial **, Britain's industrial and military strength increased greatly. The British navy began to seize colonies with Spain, the Netherlands and other countries around the world. The French also rose. After the rise of Britain and France, the British fleet defeated the powerful Spanish fleet for the first time, causing the Spanish navy to rapidly decline in its status as the world navy. An old empire fell and became a second-rate country. The world changed its master and became a stage for Britain and France to continue to perform. The colonies were re-divided, causing many wars to break out between Britain and France, or between Britain and France, and finally formed a relatively stable world colony."

"One of the British colonies is the most extensive. Asia's West and Central Asia, North America and other regions have almost all become British colonies. As far as Hong Kong, China, France has also obtained stable colonies in Africa, Asia, North America and other places, second only to Britain in scale. Most of the world has been divided up by these two countries. Old empires such as Spain have declined and have no strength to fight against Britain and France, but they still retain the traditional South American colonies."

"The rise of Germany will surely cause the European powers to divide the colonies again before, and there are many internal contradictions in Europe. Due to the historical Franco-Prussian War between Germany and France, Prussia occupied the land of the northeast of France and has not been returned to this day. These two regions contain rich coal and other resources. In addition, the complex contradictions between Serbia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Balkans, wars and provocations are constantly being carried out, and the shadow of the Russians has always been lingering. Europe is like a fierce and turbulent powder barrel, which will explode sooner or later. Once the war breaks out, it may sweep the entire European continent and form an unprecedented world war." Li Tiancheng continued to analyze.

"The president's analysis is reasonable, but if a large-scale war breaks out between the great powers, can't the new China be safe and stay out of the matter?" Huang Xing asked again.

"Now, the interests of all countries in the world have been mixed together. China has also aroused the vigilance of all countries in the world because of the emergence of new education and the vigorous development of industrial and military power. We may not be out of the matter, because once the war breaks out, countries in the world may form two opposing camps, and China will be forced to join one of them. Since European powers have troops and interests in China, the war they broke out in Europe will inevitably be continued in China, so we will be the root of

We cannot stay out of the matter, we must make a clear position and support one of them, and deal with the other, otherwise we will demarcate a war zone in the Northeast just like the corrupt and incompetent Qing government treating the Russo-Japanese War, allowing the great powers to fight on our land, causing huge losses to our people and property. This is something that our new Chinese government will never allow. If so, we will have no face to face our descendants and become a regime that loses powers and humiliates the country, and will not be far from falling." Li Tiancheng responded.

"That is, the possibility of us joining the war is very high, so we don't need to prepare early."

"From another aspect, Japan and other countries will be willing to take advantage of this war to attack the new China Kingdom, and they may be under the pretext of launching large-scale troops."...
