Chapter 27 Industry needs system, technology is difficult to spread
This is very conscientious!
Zhou Tunan was slightly moved when he heard this, but he smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Bao is willing to say such words, that is really treating us as friends!
I naturally know the benefits of building an arsenal, but unfortunately…”
He shook his head slightly and didn't continue.
This thing can be built with great fanfare by the Jing people.
The Pingtian Sect can also be built secretly.
Only Zhou Tunan cannot be built!
Nothing can do if you have money!
If Duizitan had not joined the Pingtian Sect at that time, Zhou Tunan might have been able to be established at that time.
But now, Duizitan has joined the Pingtian Sect.
People like Zhou Tunan have a somewhat awkward position in the Pingtian Sect and are in a suspicion.
At this time, you have to build your own arsenal. What would the five kings of the Pingtian Sect think?
Xu Siyuan was about to make a big news. At this time, Zhou Tunan pointed at the tall man of Pingtian Sect to support him!
What's more, humane affairs are extremely complicated.
It is not only involved in this kind of personnel struggle, but to be serious, building an arsenal even involves the entire industrial system.
What's more, for time travelers like Zhou Tunan, they know the importance of the arsenal.
But he knew even more that a simple arsenal was actually not very useful.
At least a complete supporting industrial system must be established...
Making guns and cannons requires good steel, which requires a steel mill.
And gunpowder and other things need to build basic chemical plants, etc.
These are by no means possible by a simple arsenal.
In addition, there are also enough skilled workers and various talents are needed to operate these industries.
This is definitely not something that Zhou Tunan’s current status can solve!
This is a problem with the entire system!
To put it more seriously, it involves the problem of the operational laws of the entire Middle-earth society.
This is not something that Zhou Tunan’s current status can solve.
Moreover, most of the energy of practitioners like him is on their own practice.
I can't even spend so much energy to solve these complicated things...
We agreed to settle the cash bank last time, and there will be no problems at this time.
At that moment, Lao Wang asked someone to carry a few boxes onto the boat, watching Bao ship leave, and soon integrated into the middle of the night.
"I didn't expect that among these foreign devils, are there such people who are quite conscientious?" Lao Wang felt a little moved for a moment.
In the darkness, Ivan's figure suddenly appeared. He smacked his lips and said, "The guns you bought are too expensive...
In our country, the cost of this kind of gun will not exceed, well, according to your currency, it will not exceed seven taels of silver, and the selling price will not exceed ten taels!
The technology on the First New World should be a little more advanced than our Coster Empire.
Therefore, the estimated cost of these weapons will not exceed three taels... Even if they are shipped to the East, selling them for ten taels will be a huge profit.
Now he actually sells twenty taels of silver, tsk..."
Ivan shook his head and sighed, really not knowing what to say.
Lao Wang heard this but didn't care and smiled and said, "It's always cheaper than other companies!"
"Then why don't you create it yourself?" Ivan was a little curious.
"The imperial court built its own arsenal. But the quality of the guns made is hard to describe... and a musket costs more than thirty taels of silver." Old Wang said with a smile.
"Because of corruption?" Ivan asked curiously.
The Coster Empire is also an old empire.
The corruption of bureaucrats in China is also hard to describe.
However, when I heard what Lao Wang said, my eyelids were twitching.
It's too exaggerated to be corrupt to this level?
"It's not just corruption, it's mainly unsuitable!" Zhou Tunan's sudden jam.
As a vampire and also a scholar, Ivan is more interested in what he said just now. He asked Zhou Tunan: "Your Excellency, uh, Master Dao. What does the unfit thing you mean just now?"
Zhou Tunan smiled faintly and said, "Does it take appropriate steel to make guns and cannons? This requires steel mills to make special steel.
To build a steel mill, a suitable iron ore and coal mine is needed. This requires a system.
The Jingren imperial court built an arsenal and a steel mill, but because the iron ore in Middle Earth contained too much phosphorus, there was no way to solve it. We could only smel some crude steel, which could not be used to build guns and cannons.
This is all we can only import steel to make guns, gunpowder, and other things…”
Industry is a whole system, and it is by no means possible by a single link.
Especially heavy industry!
This was the case in the late Qing Dynasty in the previous life.
Ivan suddenly realized and said, "Yes, what you need most now is education. Let's cultivate a large number of industrial talents!"
Zhou Tunan smiled slightly, but did not continue the topic, but asked: "Brother Ivan, have you heard of the Steam and Gear Association?"
Ivan thought for a while and said, "It seems to be an association under the Alchemist Association. It is said that it is developing very quickly in the city of the mountaintop! Why? Master Dao met people from the Steam and Gear Association..."
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly reacted and said, "Master Dao, are you talking about the people who are from the Steam and Gear Association just now?
Yes, I should have thought of it. The Steam and Gear Association likes to spread industrial technology everywhere the most!
I should have thought of when the Bao asked you to build a factory just now!"
Like to spread industrial technology?
Anything like this?
It is difficult for people like Zhou Tunan who travel through the world of technology confidentiality and patent barriers!
But then he became thoughtful.
Zhou Tunan suddenly said, "You bring the things back first, I'll follow you and take a look!"
Long Yishan was shocked and asked in shock: "Master Dao, what are you doing?"
When we enter the countryside, everyone calls him Dao Master, it is natural that Long Yishan is not easy to call him Xiangzhu, so he calls him Dao Master.
Zhou Tunan smiled and said, "Don't worry! I just saw it, I won't do anything!"
As he said that, his body moved, the Yang Escape Technique had already been used and he chased towards the ship.
Long Yishan wanted to say something else, but Zhou Tunan had already gone far away.
Yuchi Jing hugged Long Yishan's neck and smiled and said, "Master Dao keeps his word and will definitely not do anything to those foreigners. Come on, let's send the foreign gun back.
By the way, how many foreign guns do you need? Let me agree first, most of this will be left to me..."
But Yuchi Jing was also quite curious about what methods did the foreigners of Bao use to transport things from the Second New World to Middle Earth in just over half a month!
Long Yishan smiled bitterly, but said, "Don't worry, I won't compete with you for foreign guns! Our Pingtian Sect does not lack this..."
As he said that, he broke away from Yuchi Jing's hug and left.
At this time, Zhou Tunan had already walked away, and it was impossible to stop him!
Yuchi Jing was not angry, looked at Yu Wooden Merchants and smiled, "Now, the foreign guns are divided!"
Carpenter Yu smiled and said, "Master Dao has agreed! It's enough for me to leave two hundred, and I'll give you all the rest!"
Zhou Tunan's rural group was divided into two parts, and the part was the people under Yuchi Jing, including dock workers, who naturally lived in Shuikou Town.
Chapter completed!
