Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1139

[Chapter 1128 Accuracy]

The breeze gently tugged at the robe, and the golden sunlight hit my face.

Standing in front of the imperial study, Xiao Ming looked at the scenery outside and sighed: “In fact, the purpose of doing this is to strengthen the colonial cultural identity of 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 His own history and culture, he regards his brothers as enemies.”

After hearing this, Qian Dafu pondered for a while and said, “The emperor’s worry is not unreasonable. If some people in the future forget their ancestors and forget the blood flowing in them, this will be true. It’s scary, if it is so important to leave the royal bloodline in the colony, at least the royal family will not forget their history.”

Xiao Ming nodded, this was his purpose of risking opposition from the ministers, after all, in the contemporary era. In the history of Korea, whether it was Goryeo, Japan or Annan, their ancestors all came from the land of China.

But the evolution of time has made them enemies of China. This kind of deculture is a very terrible thing.

The first generation may remember where they come from and their history, but after a few generations of deculture they will completely forget it and become a group of complete strangers.

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

But at the same time, he will also make the royal family a symbol of the colony, just like the contemporary Queen of England for Britain.

As long as the main royal bloodline exists, the people will not forget its history.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming strengthened his belief that no matter where the empire’s system goes in the future, the royal family must 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, the thoughtful expression on Xiao Ming’s face turned into joy. After hanging up the phone, he said to Qian Dafu: “It seems that the empire’s industry is going to take another step forward. The Equipment Department has successfully manufactured a series of precision instruments with an accuracy of 10 meters.” “

Lathe?” Qian Dafu said with some uncertainty. He didn’t know much about industry. “

Yes, it’s 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 capability lies first in energy and secondly in lathes, because only with these two technologies can it be transformed into industrial products.

“0.01 mm, how small is this?” Qian Dafu couldn’t help laughing.

“Just go and take a look and you’ll find out.” Xiao Ming walked out, Qian Dafu following closely behind.

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

After the two arrived at the Equipment Department, they saw a variety of lathes in the Equipment Department’s factory, including milling machines, drilling machines, grinders, gear processing machine tools, etc.

“Your Majesty, this is a complete set of humm-level lathes.” Zhang Liu said.

Today, Zhang Liu’s black hair has a few silver strands added to it, and the passage of time has left traces of time on his face.

Xiao Ming walked in front of these machine tools one by one, as if he was seeing the future of the empire.

“After the silk-meter-level lathe was developed, Xiaguan led the equipment department to develop a millimeter-level lathe. First, we used the silk-meter-level lathe to produce the cutting tools required for the millimeter-level. However, the silk-meter-level lathe can only produce silk-meter-level lathes. For a meter-level tool to reach the meter level, craftsmen need to work hard, and sometimes it takes several months to carve a single tool,” Zhang Liu said with emotion.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly. It was a miracle that the empire’s industry could reach this level after more than twenty years of development.

Because just from the manufacturing of machine tools, we can see that establishing industry from scratch requires step by step. After all, the empire has no way to obtain ready-made industrial products from other countries, especially lathes.

“It’s not easy to build these machine tools, but you can’t relax now. The precision requirements of lathes are infinite. Humi and Sumi are just the beginning, but your contribution is obvious. With these batches of Humi With a master machine of this level, we can industrially produce slave machines,” Xiao Ming said.

Zhang Liu smiled. In fact, the first batch of lathe master machines was the most difficult to make the leap from silk rice to rough rice.

But as long as this difficulty is overcome, the lathe master machine can easily produce the same type of Humi lathe, which is the slave machine.

“Industrial production can be done at any time.” Zhang Liu was very confident.

Xiao Ming expressed his satisfaction, and he immediately commended the personnel of the Equipment Department who participated in the development of machine tools. Just as the atmosphere was getting intense, suddenly there was a loud noise outside the door of the Equipment Department.

It turned out that 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 mastered the technology of steam turbines, we only need precision lathes to produce accessories.” Lin Wentao shouted before he even arrived.

Chen Qi said: “We must give it to our military industry. Now a lot of weapons are still on the drawings, waiting for precision machine tool production? Is it important that this steam turbine can have a howitzer?”

“My automatic weapons are also very urgent. , stop arguing…”

The four people walked and argued all the way. Everyone wanted to get the precision machine tool as soon as possible.

Zhang Liu smiled bitterly. He didn’t want to offend anyone. He just cast his eyes on Xiao Ming and signaled them to ask for it from the emperor.

Xiao Ming has already had his own plan in mind. In his opinion, the empire’s first priority is to develop its navy and improve the performance of its warships.

Because the current empire can no longer remain a land power, but must also become a sea power. After all, with the increase in colonies, the empire’s overseas interests have become more and more important.

Without a powerful navy, it was impossible to effectively control the colonies and control Europe.

So he said: “The first batch of lathes was handed over to Lin Wentao. The steam turbine is the most important thing at the moment. If the steam turbine is successfully developed, the empire will be able to achieve a leap forward in both power generation and warship performance.”

Compared with traditional steam engines, Steam turbines can be said to be an advancement of steam engines, and their performance has not been improved at all. Even contemporary nuclear power plants and aircraft carriers still use steam turbines.

Once the empire manufactures steam turbines and puts them into use, the empire’s battleships will be completely transformed, bringing the empire into the era of big guns and giant ships during World War II.

Lin Wentao looked proud when he heard this. He knew that he would win because the steam turbine was so important.

Xiao Ming looked at the other three people and said, “But you don’t have to worry. Now that we have the mother machine, the speed of producing the slave machines will be very fast. Even if it is late, you will not be late for a few days.”

PS: Update tonight , I am a bit busy during the day, so I may update less when I am busy, but I will make up for it if I have enough time.
