Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

"No, it's all made by my mother-in-law. Why does the emperor ask this?"

"Hey, come and take a look at this." Guan Xuqing handed some pieces of paper in the package to Yang Rui.

"It records the use of iron pots and steel pots produced in some countries. Can you see anything? .

"No! Didn't see it?" Yang Rui was confused, and he didn't feel anything wrong with the various data.

"Now stamping technology has gradually become the mainstream production method of some products. Look at the aluminum pots and iron pots we currently use, as well as the steel pots for boiling water. Most of these products are stamped and formed by rolling machines at one time. The products produced are not only high in efficiency but also low in defective products, and at the same time greatly reduce the use of metal materials. The pots and pans produced by thin iron sheets are not only light but also reduce the cost of materials, and ordinary people are willing to buy such products Going back to use it, but the problem also came out..."

Guan Xuqing opened some photos in the file and handed them to Yang Rui, pointed to the circled area in the photos, and continued to explain to him some things he couldn't understand. "If the raw materials, that is, these steel and aluminum locks, due to the unqualified production process, there are bubbles in the product or there are many or large impurities, then these thin iron sheets will easily appear trachoma. A water-filled If the container has trachoma, do you think it can still be used?"

"I understand, the emperor is inspecting our basic industries in a disguised form. In the past, I could often see those mending pots and pans picking up guys and yelling to mend things in the streets and alleys. Now these people are rarely seen anymore. I see, at most it is in various vegetable markets, so there is such a reason behind it. It turns out that it is because of the improvement of product quality that they have cut off their source of income!" How smart Yang Rui is, he immediately understood the emperor. intention.

"So don't underestimate these things. We can produce the best tanks in the world. It is not so easy to do it. There is no solid production in the steel factory, and there is no complicated and cumbersome production process from raw materials to finished products. Roughly manufactured things cannot support such advanced products at all. Why are our products durable? Why do we need strict checks from a screw to the entire ship? We don’t have the ability to strictly control from the foundation to the cost. Sometimes a single screw can make your whole ship lie on the sea!" Guan Xuqing put the materials on hand into the bookcase.

"Your Majesty, what level do you think our industrial development is compared with the world powers?"

"Our overall strength has surpassed any country in the world, but we still have a huge gap in production, especially in the production of high-quality steel, but many of our tanks and submarines need these high-hardness steels, and those Special alloy steel is a huge gap, if we can fill this gap, our various strengths will be improved to the greatest extent."

"Your majesty is wise, and I still need to ask for advice. To make up the gap, what should we do?"

"Many, from factories, smelting equipment, ore dressing, to high-quality production workers, the lack or insufficiency of any link will reduce the quality of products. This kind of improvement cannot be accomplished by simply improving a project. Many things still need to be started from scratch, just like these needles and threads, we need to start from the most basic things. Only in this way can we truly improve the industrial strength of the empire. Many things need to be accumulated bit by bit, and It takes a long time to accumulate, especially the cultivation of high-quality industrial workers, which takes the most time. As I once said, if there are enough industrial workers, then there will be enough talents to enrich and improve us. Industrial quality, more than 40 years of painstaking construction, the industrial strength of the empire has made a big leap, but it takes time to accumulate to reach the standards of industrial giants. Uncle Qiao, the empire is making great strides on the journey, domestic construction and army construction Equally important, you have to work harder!"

"I understand."

"Uncle Qiao, the industrial construction in Eastern Siberia needs to be accelerated. The Soviets are always eyeing it. I want to build it into the industrial center of the world, so that the Russians living in Siberia can deeply appreciate the benefits brought by the industrial development of the empire. , Dedicated to serving the empire, this is a key step in stabilizing the hearts of East Siberia. In two days, you will accompany me to see the encouraging development and construction there.”

"twitter."

East Siberia Eastern Siberia, USSR.From the Yenisei River in the west to the Dividing Mountains on the Pacific coast in the east.Including Yakutia, Buryatia Autonomous Republic, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Irkutsk and Chita Region, etc.It has an area of ​​412.28 million square kilometers and a population of 876.9 million.After the Sino-Russian War, Tsarist Russia was defeated and ceded the vast area of ​​Eastern Siberia to China.Over the years, China has turned this barren land into the industrial center of Asia with grandiose courage and amazing handwriting.

In Chita, an important town in East Siberia, with Chita as the center, there are a large number of various factories within a range of [-] kilometers along its four directions.Some of these factories already existed in Tsarist Russia, and more were built by the Chinese government. On this large construction site, relying on the original industrial infrastructure, in the new round of industrialization, the large industrial base in East Siberia has been rebuilt. Reveal its true colors, and under the planning and construction of the imperial government, this industrial base has become stronger and more complete than before.From the mining and sorting of minerals and other resources, to the transportation to the first batch of factories for rough processing or smelting in the smelter through a sound and sound transportation network, the rough embryos enter the corresponding factories in the later stage Fine processing is carried out, and then various parts are transported in batches to the final assembly workshop that needs them for final assembly. Trucks, tanks, airplanes, and cannons are millions of tens of millions from nature. It is even refined and combined from various resources that have been bred for hundreds of millions of years.

"Your Majesty, now our Siberian industrial zone has taken off the hat of being fed but not producing." Guan Xuqing brought a group of people from the Ministry of Industry here, and the young East Siberian Governor Chen Bulei excitedly introduced it to the emperor.

"It's just that I just took off the hat that can't be fed. Is there any need to be so excited?" Although Yang Rui has a serious face, he, as the Minister of Industry, still feels very proud of seeing the bustling production scene here.

"My lord, you can't say that. At the beginning, this place started from nothing. At the beginning, the industrial distribution of the industrial zone was a bit unreasonable. There was no intuitive long-term planning. Many factories were too scattered and redundant, like parts produced in the east. The blanks have to be sent to the parts processing factory in the west for processing and production. The final assembly factory in the north needs to pull equipment from the component factory in the south. It also wastes a lot of time for transportation. There is also uneven distribution of water and electricity transmission, and some places have too much power redundancy, but they cannot be delivered to industrial areas that lack electricity."

"The same is true for industrial water, and then there is the randomness of the sewage system. A lot of industrial wastewater is discharged randomly, and the wastewater flows into ordinary rivers through drainage ditches, causing drinking water difficulties for residents downstream of the river; it took us a few years to reintegrate here. The planning of the industrial zone, the demolition of the demolition, the elimination of the elimination, and the reintegration of the construction of the basic water and electricity pipeline network and the construction of the sewage discharge mechanism in the industrial zone, such a huge project could not be completed in less than five years before, but we It only took two years now. Now we have taken off the feeding hat, the industrial zone has begun to produce some industrial products, especially military products, and our chemical plants can already produce qualified products from raw materials to finished products in large quantities Plasticized high-explosive explosives, combined with the transformation of the military production equipment originally established by Tsarist Russia here, we can already produce guns and ammunition in large quantities. Starting next year, the garrison in Siberia will no longer have to endure the long journey of transporting supplies from the south. Wait, they will be able to obtain supplies directly from here. This can greatly reduce the transportation cost from the south. Don't you think this is a happy event?"

Who Controls the Ups and Downs: The Third World War (Closed Volume) The first thousand and 140 chapters nine construction of large industrial areas

"Well, this is indeed a very gratifying thing." Guan Xuqing naturally knew that if the ammunition consumption could be resupplied nearby, it would definitely be a nightmare for the Soviets.

"Not only that, the automobile factory in Chita has been able to produce small batches of various types of vehicles such as trucks and off-road vehicles, and can also produce a small number of tanks, armored vehicles, and aircraft. Although the output is not large now, this is just a At the beginning, with the increase in production capacity, it is expected that in the spring of this year, when the Yiming renovation plan is initially completed and put into production, the production capacity of the Chita Heavy Industry Zone can meet the consumption of the Siberian Military Region.” Chen Bulei was very excited to tell the emperor and the people who came to visit Let me introduce the current situation of the industrial zone, which is great news for Guan Xuqing, who is accompanying me. With the supply of the nearby industrial zone, it is a big deal for the Chinese army, which has suffered from long-term logistics transportation. good news.

"Eastern Siberia Industrial Zone and Northwest Industrial Zone, two of China's three major industrial zones, have risen. It seems that the Northeast Industrial Zone will bow before the two major industrial zones." Guan Xuqing didn't hide his joy, and at the same time, he said External pressure is exerting pressure on Yang Yongtai, director of the Northeast Industry Bureau.

"I lower my head? Cut! Don't think that the size of the industrial zone is great, you have to look at the industrial output value!" Although Yang Yongtai was surprised to see such a huge industrial zone along the way, he still grasped it. They counterattacked by overcoming the shortcomings of the two industrial zones. "Hmph, we rely on those high-tech products to add high added value. After ten or eight years, the well-established talents from Harbin Institute of Technology and other related colleges will catch up. One day our side will be better than yours. powerful!"

Chen Bulei did not refute too much. He also knew that although the Northeast Industrial Zone was not as large as the East Siberia Industrial Zone, the industrial zone was built earlier, especially in the industrial zone extending from the center of Liaoning to the surrounding areas. The factories here have already It is no longer a primary industrial area, but a large number of high-tech industrial factories that can produce high value-added products.Especially in the electronics industry, a large number of electronics factories have been established in the area from Jilin to Dalian. The products they produce not only have high profits, but also drive the development trend of China's overall electronic and electrical products surpassing the world.Moreover, as the oldest industrial zone, the advantage of the Northeast Industrial Zone is not only the production of high-tech products, but also the advantages of scientific and technological talents that the other two industrial zones look up to. With the advantages of many science and technology colleges and talent bases, here The scientific and technological talents that can be cultivated every year make the enterprises in the other two industrial zones drool.

"Haha, with your unyielding energy, the future of the empire will be much better. The more products you can provide, the greater the comprehensive potential of our country will be. Other constructions will also play a huge role." Guan Xuqing is very happy to see the competition among the internal forces, and such competition will not hurt the feelings of everyone, as long as it is used properly, the country will benefit in the end.

"That is, as an old man who is about to enter the earth, I can die in peace after seeing such a scene." Prince Fu Yizhen, who had previously presided over the construction of Siberia, leaned on a cane and walked to the final stage with the support of others. Earlier, as the only surviving prince in the previous generation, he witnessed the whole process of the new government from small to large, from weak to strong. Although he no longer cares about political affairs, in many cases, the old man is still swaying waste heat in the construction of the empire.

"What did the emperor say, with a body like yours, there is no problem in living to a hundred years old." Guan Xuqing reassured.

"Hey, you don't know the physical condition of us old people. After so many years of development and construction, we old guys are almost unable to work. It is very gratifying to see China become like this in our hands. , for us old guys, it is very gratifying to see the current development situation, we are not like the emperor, now in our 40s, we still look like a boy in his early 30s." Yizhen's words provoked all A doubt in people's mind.This doubt has troubled many senior internal officials, especially those who have grown up with the emperor from the very beginning. Everyone knows the actual age of the emperor, but so many years have passed, although the soft knife of time has also left a mark on the emperor. However, it seems that the power of this soft knife shows very little energy on the emperor's body.He is already in his early 30s, and those who are familiar with him know that the emperor's physical condition is as good as a young man. According to the judgment of the imperial physician next to the emperor, if the emperor maintains this slow physical aging rate , Living to a hundred years old is definitely a very easy thing.

"Well, it is a good thing that the emperor has such a good body. As long as his body continues to maintain such a good condition, as long as China continues to be led by him, China will surely stand on the highest peak of the world's nations soon. , but it seems that we old men will no longer be able to follow the emperor to see that day."

"Don't be so discouraged, uncle, isn't he just older than us? As long as you don't get old, as long as you maintain a heart that is always young and uplifting, you will surely live a long life." Of course Guan Xuqing knew that his physical condition was maintained. Such a good reason, but he will not tell anyone this secret, it is his own secret.

"I'm old, and I don't care about the occasion when I talk, which disrupts the atmosphere of everyone's visit." Yizhen corrected some of his inappropriate words in time, trying to divert everyone's attention again.

"That's right, Your Majesty, Prince Fu, I will take you and everyone to see the large open-pit coal mine in Chita, and then the heavy steel plant in Irkutsk. These two places produce coal and iron, together But it has created a scale that is not inferior to the large-scale industrial areas in Northeast China." Chen Bulei immediately stepped forward to talk and change the subject, and his suggestion was immediately approved by everyone, and everyone got on the special car one after another.

"It's so big!" Anyone who saw the Chita Open Pit Mine for the first time will be shocked by such a huge excavation scene. Is it a big pit with a length of several kilometers and a depth of nearly 380 meters?The current data is that the [-]-meter west open-pit mine was mined in [-], and the main products are coal and kerogen shale; now, after specific exploration and planning, the mine has begun to be extended and expanded, with a length of [-] kilometers from east to west and a width from north to south Two kilometers, with a total area of ​​[-] square kilometers, it is the largest open-pit coal mine in Asia. "Everyone can take a look, this is the map effect taken from the sky."

After distributing the information in his hand to others, Chen Bulei continued to introduce it to everyone. "Everyone can see that under the indiscriminate mining by the Tsarist Russian government in the past, the mining facilities of the coal mines were crude, and the excavation of the sky mine was not only inefficient but also had frequent accidents. It can be said that the Chinese laborers working here are hanging by the Tsarist Russians. But now with our transformation and the assistance of new construction machinery, the previous situation can no longer be seen." Chen Bulei pointed to the small fingernail-sized objects that shuttled under the pit in the distance. Excavation machinery and conveyor vehicles that constantly transport coal mines said.

"Mechanized operation?" Although Yang Yongtai has a certain understanding of the industrial zone, he is still surprised to see such a huge scene. He has lived and worked in the Northeast for a long time, and he can't imagine such an endless place. This scene of large-scale mining surprised him who was used to working in small tunnels.

"Yes! For mechanized operations, take excavation as an example. In the past, we could only dig with the hoe and hammer in the hands of workers. It was not only inefficient but also dangerous, but now we use large excavators, and the mining volume of a full bucket can be It can reach five tons. At the same time, due to the large power output equipment, we can easily transport these coal mines up from the bottom of the pit, instead of relying on manpower to carry them up like before. Tell me, this efficiency is many times greater than before! It is not unreasonable for Chen Bulei to emphasize the role of mechanical engineering in national production and construction. In the past, the speed of production development was restricted not only by the lack of factory production equipment and human resources, but also by the constraints of raw material production and transportation.Although the amount of steel and iron produced in the Northeast Industrial Zone is so large, what really restricts the production capacity of the Northeast Industrial Zone is the collection of minerals. The underground operation is different from the current sky mine operation, and the risk factor is not usually small.

"All good things happened to you." Looking at the huge and vibrant scene in front of him, and at the factory next to the transportation railway that was spraying smoke in the distance, Yang Yongtai was the first to talk about the Siberian industry led by Chen Bulei. There was a hint of envy in the district.

In the next four days, under the guidance of Chen Bulei, Guan Xuqing and his entourage visited the renovation and current production capacity of the Siberia Industrial Zone. After several years of renovation and capacity upgrades, the current status of the industrial zone is like As mentioned by Chen Bulei, it has gradually formed the production and deep processing capabilities of heavy steel and mechanical processing as the main industry, and chemical, wood, leather and other industries as the pillars of the industry.In the industrial zone, a large number of factories are optimized together as much as possible according to the production process of the products to speed up and strengthen the production efficiency.

And the re-established new factory is also stepping up time for assembly and commissioning. The entire industrial area shows a thriving situation. Every worker, production technician and engineer is earnestly completing the work in hand.This situation not only infects everyone here, but also deeply infects every visitor who comes to visit.

Ups and Downs: The Third World War (Closed Volume) Chapter 150 The Hope of the Empire

The transformation and renewal of the Siberian industrial zone made Guan Xuqing so concerned.The reason is that the development and construction of industrial zones will directly affect whether China can take the lead in the future world war.In Guan Xuqing's strategic plan, the construction of the Siberian industrial zone will bring the armed forces of the Chinese army to a new level.The original two industrial bases in the northeast and northwest can no longer meet the needs of the military expansion, and the production capacity of the military industry is almost saturated. It can be said that the biggest constraint on the modernization and reorganization of the Chinese military has now become increasingly saturated factories with insufficient production capacity. .

The emergence of this situation is not because Guan Xuqing and his officials did not think carefully, but because there is a gap between the speed of the development and expansion of the Dragon Army and the speed of domestic production capacity expansion.Under the existing industrial production capacity, after completing the expansion of the six main group armies and the production and consumption of equipment, the original two industrial areas still need to undertake various supporting productions required for the production and construction of other domestic industries. Now The production capacity can no longer support more military expansion.

After the completion of the first phase of the Northeast Industrial Zone, the annual output of steel and iron can reach 300 million tons and more than 500 million tons respectively. On the surface, such output is very large, but looking at the whole country, it is still very little. It is possible to put all these steels into the construction of the army, but it is impossible to use all of them to produce tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft and cannons, and the navy, which consumes the most steel, consumes thousands of tons of steel for a single warship. Tons, not to mention those scraps, but also the loss of various parts from blanks to finished products. After this calculation, the output of several million tons is nothing at all.What's more, part of it has to be used for domestic economic construction, and the amount that can really be used to produce military products is already very small.If it weren't for the support of some small steel factories in the northwest industrial area and other provinces, once a war breaks out in the future, industrial production will seriously restrict the military power of the empire.In a sense, the war of this era has gradually evolved to see who throws more steel at the other side, and which side throws more and faster, then the balance of war will be tilted towards which side.

And if the transformation and expansion plan of the Siberian industrial zone cannot be completed on schedule, it will inevitably affect the size of China's profits in future wars. Sometimes Guan Xuqing can't wait to have such a few large industrial zones. A heavy mechanized group army can equip at least five aircraft carrier groups with more than two large aircraft carriers and more than eight missile ships.But he knows that the construction of each large-scale industrial zone cannot be accomplished overnight. Not only does the construction of each industrial zone require a lot of funds, but also the infrastructure construction also takes time; traffic roads need to be paved kilometer by kilometer, water supply and power supply facilities It also needs to be built step by step, and everything needs to be completed in a solid manner. Rome was not built in a day. It only has such a small amount of industrial production capacity now, and it must make good use of these production capacities to maximize its benefits.

What they visited in Northeast China this time is not just the achievements of industrial construction. At the temporary request of Guan Xuqing, the visiting team also made a surprise inspection of the achievements of the education system. It is gratifying that so far, no one has dared to touch it. In the future, the country hopes to build a high-tension line of funds and materials.In Guan Xuqing's administrative system, corruption and corruption are not without occurrence. Although the amount and quantity are still small, the misappropriation and corruption of special education funds and materials is definitely a high-voltage line that can never be touched.The daily food subsidies for students and the funds for the construction of the education system can only be earmarked for special purposes. Anyone who wants to put these funds and materials into their own pockets will be burned to ashes by this high-voltage line...

Guan Xuqing randomly selected a relatively remote school for spot checks, and noticed that the head of the local educational institution had a somewhat unnatural expression on his face. Guan Xuqing, who found Ni Duan, immediately increased the number of spot checks on the local basic education system. Led by the person in charge of the institution, he walked for two hours on the jungle path, and came to this simple primary school built with wood and earthen embryos. Then the person in charge of the local education institution had the courage to spit out his bitterness to the emperor: "The emperor , if we can have a little more funds, our students will not be taught in this dark classroom without glass, and our teachers will not worry about not having more textbooks and teaching materials; in this simple school, four Students of two grades are crowded into one classroom, hotter than a steamer in summer, and colder than an icehouse in winter, but in the eyes of these students and teachers, it is most urgent to have more teaching materials and books to enrich their vision. something to look forward to."

Guan Xuqing did not scold the person in charge. Of course he knew that due to the national economic construction and military construction, as well as the consumption caused by expansion, education funds have been squeezed to a marginal warning line. After all, the future hopes of tens of millions of students have been shattered. To achieve great wars in the next few years, or to achieve the hegemony of the empire in a low-key way 30 years later, with so much money, manpower and material resources on hand, Guan Xuqing is really contradictory at times...

Sitting in the dark and cold classroom, Guan Xuqing felt the severe cold of Siberia. The students used the firewood collected in their spare time to burn the brazier to keep warm, but they could not stop the severe cold.

"Students, the theme of our lesson today is: my dream." Standing behind a podium made up of a few logs and boards, the only principal, teacher, and head teacher of the school began Had the first class of the day.

"Teacher, I want to be a construction engineer. I will definitely make this place warm in winter!" A student with frostbite on all ten fingers was the first to tell his dream.

"Teacher, I want to be an official. I want to be a high-ranking official. After I become an official, I will build this school into the best school in this area. We can study in warm classrooms in winter, and in cool classrooms in summer." Read a book."

"Teacher, I want to be a clown in a circus." The last student spoke out his dream with a bit of embarrassment. His dream made everyone laugh, and he shrank his head lower in embarrassment. However, the simple desk could not cover his thin body.

"Students, although Gregory's dream is nothing compared to yours, do you still remember the film that the film projection team came to our school to show?" The teacher did not scold such a small dream, but asked about other things. one question.

"Remember, it's the movie performed by the actor who wears a top hat, wears big pants, has a mustache under his nose, and walks like a penguin!" The students replied one after another.

"Are you calling him a clown?"

"Yes!"

"no!"
