The breeze tugged at the robe, and the golden sunlight blew on my face.

Standing in front of the imperial study room, Xiao Ming looked at the scenery outside and sighed: "In fact, the purpose of this is to strengthen the colonial cultural identity with the empire. I am not worried that they will be independent in the future. What I am worried about is that one day they will forget their history and culture and regard their brothers as enemies."

Qian Dafu pondered for a while and said, "The Emperor's worries are not without reason. If some people forget their ancestors in the future and forget the blood flowing on their bodies, this is really terrible. If the royal bloodline is left in the colony in this way, it is extremely important. At least the royal family will not forget their history."

Xiao Ming nodded. This was his purpose of doing so at the risk of being opposed by his ministers. After all, in contemporary history, whether it is Goryeo, Japan or Annan, their ancestors all came from China.

However, the evolution of time has made them enemies of China, and this kind of cultural detachment is a very terrible thing.

The first generation may remember where they came from and their own history, but after several generations of culture, they will completely forget and become a group of completely strangers.

So in order to reduce this possibility, he would strictly require the strengthening of the education of imperial history in colonial education.

But at the same time, he would also make the royal family a symbol of colonies, which is like the contemporary British queen for England.

The main royal bloodline exists, and the people will not forget their history.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming became even more determined. No matter where the empire's system will go in the future, the royal family will be engraved on the wheel of history as a symbol of the empire.

The two were talking when the phone rang.

After answering the phone, Xiao Ming's thoughtful expression turned into joy. After hanging up the phone, he said to Qian Dafu: "The industry of the empire seems to be going further, and the Equipment Department has successfully created a series of lathes with precision at the Humi level."

"Humi? Is it ten thousand meters?" Qian Dafu said with some uncertainty that he did not know much about industry.'

"Yes, it is equivalent to 0.01 mm. With this high-precision lathe, the industrial products that the empire can manufacture will be more complex." Xiao Ming said happily.

In his opinion, a country's industrial capacity lies in energy and lathes, because only by having these two technologies can Hu be transformed into industrial products.

"0.01 mm, how small is this?" Qian Dafu couldn't help but laugh.

"You'll know when you go and take a look." Xiao Ming walked out, and Qian Dafu followed closely behind.

The former Equipment Department has now become the empire's lathe research center, and Zhang Liu is now the manager of the Equipment Department.

After the two arrived at the Equipment Department, they saw various lathes in the Equipment Department's factory area, including milling machines, drilling machines, grinding machines, gear processing machines, etc.

"Your Majesty, this is a complete set of Humi-level lathes." Zhang Liu said.

Now Zhang Liu's black hair has added a few silver threads, and the passage of time has left traces of time on his face.

Xiao Ming walked past these machine tools one by one, as if he saw the future of the empire.

"After the development of silk rice-level lathes, Xiaguan led the Equipment Department to develop Humi-level lathes. First of all, we use silk rice-level lathes to produce knives that need the Humi-level level. However, silk rice-level lathes can only obtain silk rice-level tools. To make the cutter reach Humi-level level, it requires meticulous carving by craftsmen. Sometimes it takes several months to carve a tool." Zhang Liu said with emotion.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly. It was a miracle that the imperial industry could reach its current level after more than 20 years of development.

Because it can be seen from the manufacturing of machine tools that it is necessary to build an industry step by step, after all, the empire has no way to obtain ready-made industrial products from other countries, especially lathes.

"This machine tool is not easy, but you can't relax now. The accuracy requirements of the lathe are infinite. Humi and Simi are just the beginning, but your contribution is also obvious. With these Humi-level mother machines, you can industrially produce sub-machines." Xiao Ming said.

Zhang Liu smiled. The first batch of lathe mother machines were actually the most difficult to cross from Simi to Humi.

However, as long as this difficulty is overcome, the lathe mother machine can easily produce the same type of Humi lathe, which is the child machine.

"Industrial production is always available at any time." Zhang Liu was very confident.

Xiao Ming expressed satisfaction, and he immediately commended the personnel involved in the development of the machine tool. Just when the atmosphere was in full swing, a noisy sound suddenly sounded outside the machine door.

It turned out that it was Chen Qi, Song Changping, Lin Wentao, Lu Tong and others rushed over after hearing the news.

"Zhang Liu, you must give the first batch of lathes to our machinery factory. Now that we have thoroughly understood the technology of steam turbines, we are just short of the precision lathe production accessories." Lin Wentao shouted before he even arrived in front of him.

Chen Qi said: "We have to give it to our military industry. Now a large number of weapons are still on the drawings, just waiting for precision machine tools to produce? Can this steam turbine be as important as howitzers?"

“My automatic weapon is also very urgent, don’t argue with me…”

The four of them went along the way and argued, and everyone wanted to get the precision machine tool as soon as possible.

Zhang Liu smiled bitterly. He didn't want to offend anyone, but just threw his eyes on Xiao Ming and signaled them to ask the emperor for help.

Xiao Ming had already had his own plan in his mind. In his opinion, the empire's current top priority is to develop the navy and improve the performance of warships.

Because the empire can no longer stay on a land power, but also become a maritime power. After all, with the increase of colonies, the empire's interests overseas are becoming more and more important.

Without a powerful navy, effective control of the colonies and European control could not be achieved.

So he said: "The first batch of lathes were handed over to Lin Wentao. Steam turbines are the most important thing at present. If the steam turbine is successfully developed, the empire can make a leap in power generation and warship performance."

Compared with traditional steam engines, steam turbines can be said to be an advanced steam engine, and their performance is improved by no means a little bit. Even modern nuclear power plants and aircraft carriers are still using steam turbines.

Once the Empire made steam turbines and put them into use, the Empire's warships would be reborn, allowing the Empire to enter the era of giant cannon ships during World War II early.

Lin Wentao showed a proud look when he heard this, and he knew that he would win because the steam turbine was so important.
