Concrete projects will be huge in the future - with concrete, there will be real estate, and the construction of the entire society is inseparable from concrete. Even if there is no real estate market in the world for the time being, there are constructions of frontiers, city walls, roads and bridges; and other residences, factories, docks, etc., all of them are inseparable from concrete.

In short, for such a huge project, Li Xian must find a reliable person in charge.

In the end, Li Xian discovered a talent from the original metallurgical branch, that is, Song Gang, who not only had almost crazy research on minerals, but also a very serious and responsible person.

Overnight, Xiang Yun was promoted from a workshop director of mineral resources research to a new branch manager. This incident was unimaginable to everyone - a role model!

Li Xian's words "Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers" have already filled the entire valley and are regarded as motto by almost everyone.

After a busy life, there are only ten days before the New Year. Li Xian finally summoned the senior management and everyone is ready to make a simple year-end summary.

Li Xian looked at everyone and suddenly laughed: "Everyone, in the past, we have created a glory and legend. The glory of the past does not need to be repeated. I just want to say that the future will be even more brilliant. One day, you will be proud of today's choice.

Below, let’s make a year-end summary of this year, which will be like this year. The general structure is: what we have done this year, what we need to do, what we need to improve, and what we will aim for in the future.

The achievements we have achieved for the time being are:

Colored lights, glass,

Engine, textile machinery, machine tools, smelting,

Electricity, wires.

and concrete projects that have been launched.

Please report in order below.”

Sun Ming was the first to report, "In the past, we have completed the improvement of colored lanterns, the production of glass, and the production of glass mirrors. At present, the relevant personnel have matured training, and next year we are preparing to increase the sales of glassware, such as crystal cups, etc.

This year, a total of 27,000 items were sold, and the profit was 1,763 taels of gold..."

The person in charge of the engine is still Tang Rong from the Research Department for the time being. "This year, 894 engines have been completed, and the latest engine has been reduced to a height of 25 cm and a length of 85 cm, with an output of 6 horsepower.

If the spirit gathering array is connected externally, it can reach 9 horsepower.

Next year, we will prepare to build a 100-horsepower engine."

He Lin, who was in charge of textiles, was about to get up, but Li Xian suddenly said, "Aunt He, please wait a moment."

Then Li Xian looked at Tang Rong, "Teacher Tang, you underestimate the function of the wire too much. Now the wire has shown its dawn. If the wire is successfully studied, the engine will be expected to exceed one thousand horsepower. In addition, the engine is the heart of the entire industry, and there cannot be just one model.

Next year, we need to study various models of engines such as large, medium and small to meet different needs.

Next year, I will also prepare to sell engines to the outside world. The best way to control the market is not to block technology, but to guide others so that they can always follow us and always follow our backs."

After seeing Li Xian nodding, He Lin stood up with a smile on his face, "We have completed the preliminary research on joint textile machines and will be ready to complete the research on large joint textile machines next year, with the goal of producing two thousand pieces of cloth per day.

In addition, we have achieved 12,000 pieces of cloth this year, and next year we are preparing to achieve the goal of 200,000 pieces of cloth, and further compress the production cost of cloth, so that the cost price of cloth is lower than 60% of the market price.

Next year, we will expand factories, recruit workers, and raise silkworms and grow hemp by ourselves; we will not be ready to plant cotton with high yields for the time being."

Li Xian shook his head slightly, "Aunt He, you underestimate the power of industry too much. Next you will see the miracle of industry. Ten thousand pieces of cloth a day is definitely not a dream."

Then there is Liu Bin, "The preliminary research on all supporting machine tools has been completed; but the accuracy and efficiency are far from meeting the current needs of the factory. Starting next year, more machine tools will be produced, mainly to overcome precise technical requirements and increase multi-functions. In particular, we will focus on the production of bearings and screws related machine tools.

Also, the five tridents we are responsible for processing have basically been completed, and the final polishing will be completely completed before the new year."

Li Xian said again: "Uncle Liu, give you a goal, the propeller and related transmission mechanisms, steering mechanisms, etc. I mentioned to you before; especially the gantry machine tools that can process steel hulls, we must start.

In addition, you need to study the welding technology I mentioned with Song Gang and Tang Rong. Although the spell is good, with the development of industry, spell welding can no longer meet our development needs in terms of speed and quality.

Also, the 'locomotive' I mentioned before can also be studied."

"good."

Then there is Song Gang from the smelting branch. "This year, he has completed the smelting and purification of common metals, completed the production research of stainless steel and various steels, and completed the identification and smelting of common metals including chromium, manganese, aluminum, lead, tin, zinc, etc.

Next year, we are preparing to expand production, prepare to increase the production of non-metallic substances, and prepare to increase the acid and alkali production workshop."

Li Xian said again: "Uncle Song, I will add two tasks to you, one is the metal wire drawing process. The generator is about to be born, which requires a large amount of metal wire. It takes time-consuming and labor-intensive to make the spell alone, and the quality is uneven.

The thinnest wire is 0.5 mm in diameter; the thickest one is the steel bar, which needs to reach a diameter of three centimeters.

There are also metal foil technology and iron sheet technology.

You and Liu Bin discuss these two things."

Then, Tang Rong stood up again, this time it was a project of generators and wires. "The generator prototype has matured and is stable at about one meter, and can generate electricity equivalent to 1,000 horsepower per hour. However, 10 large spiritual gathering arrays are needed to supply energy."

Li Xian thought for a while, "Uncle Tang, I have an idea. We will strip the spirit gathering array from the generator, so that the generator structure will be simpler and more reliable. In addition, build one or more large spirit gathering array bases, and all the spiritual energy needed by the factory will be supplied through the spirit gathering array base.

Of course, to complete such a plan, the wire plan must be successful.”

"clear."

"Also," Li Xian continued, "Teacher Tang, please make 50 inferior engines, I'm going to sell them in the imperial capital."

Li Xian's decision to sell the engine surprised everyone, but Li Xian's decision was so unstoppable. Li Xian has established absolute authority in scientific research and industry.

Finally, it was Xiang Yun, the new official's turn to take office. "Young Master, the concrete production steps have been tested, and the first rotary kiln can be completed within three months."

"Very good." Li Xian looked through his record book, "Teacher Sun Ming, have the crystal chandeliers been made?"

"In the final debugging, only 22 were made, all of which were large-scale colored lights and the best materials were used."

Li Xian: "I divided up 10 large chandeliers, plus 1,000 mirrors of different sizes, and a thousand pieces of various glass objects and 500 ordinary colored lanterns. I am going to make a deal with the sea people before the New Year.

Also, I have recently burned some transparent glass balls of one meter size, and I think the sea people will like this thing.

In addition, the custom-made weapons of the sea clan should be completed within the last five days."

Then, Li Xian turned to He Lin, "Aunt He, I will work for a few more days. In five days, I will return to the imperial capital and take away all the cloth. I will let all the civilians in the imperial capital have a cheap New Year."
