On June 26, 1878, the Dutch United Industries Group, supported by the Dutch Socialist Party, announced at its Melbourne headquarters that its inventor Gram had invented the generator. At the same time, Gram and Debretz also successfully invented the high-voltage transmission line.

It was also announced that two coal-fired power plants have been built in Melbourne, and electricity has now begun to be used within the Dutch Industrial Consortium.

At the same time, the Dutch United Industry Group also announced that it had invented a water pump to irrigate farmland. It also claimed that the function of the water pump will reduce the chance of drought for all crops in Australia and the entire Netherlands, which will have a major impact on the cultivation of world food.

significance.

To this end, the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences sent an expert team to visit the group. Finally, the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences announced that it recognized several Dutch invention patents as valid and praised everyone for the inventions of the Netherlands United Industries Group.

Not only the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences, but also scientists and politicians from all over the world have set their sights on Melbourne, the Netherlands.

Because of the generation of electricity and water pumps, no one would think it was just a trivial matter, especially the British Empire. When they think that the Netherlands may get more grain harvests due to solving the drought problem, and its strength will greatly increase, this is definitely not good news for the United Kingdom.

.

At present, the three major political parties in the Netherlands, the Liberal Party, the Christian Party and the Socialist Party, are respectively bound to the Dutch East India Company, the Dutch Far East Group, and the Dutch United Industries Group. The rise of the Socialist Party has surprised everyone, and the rise of the Netherlands United Industries Group is even more fierce. In this regard

, the other two parties and the two major enterprises were naturally unwilling to give in.

On June 28, 1878, the inventor Edison, a subsidiary of the Dutch East India Company, announced that he had invented the electric light. He was currently preparing to conduct large-scale tests of electric lights in some parts of Sydney. If successful, it would be possible with sufficient electricity support.

It will bring the whole people into the era of electric light.

Well, Dutch scientists are so powerful. There was Gram before and Edison after. Could it be that the Dutch Far East Group of the Liberal Party also wants to join in?

Sure enough, the Liberal Party's ally, the Dutch Far East Group, announced important countermeasures of its own.

The Far East Group of the Netherlands announced that the group has achieved the goal of driving conveyors to drive steamships. The application scope of power machinery and engines is expanding day by day. The key new things in mobility are the invention of machine equipment and power equipment. The former is manufacturing machines, steam hammers, and pile drivers.

This type of power equipment frees eight people from heavy manual labor.

In other words, Far East Group began to use power to complete the innovation of many of the group's industrial machinery.

Mechanization seems to have reached the highest level of progress.

The founder of Far East Collective in this field was Hitt, a student of Henry Maudsley who invented the metal lathe.

Hit is currently the dynamic leader of the group.

The Dutch Far East Group invented the use of mechanical power to replace the arduous work of humans, which immediately made people feel lofty, but the Socialist Party would not let others rob it of its hard-earned reputation.

On July 1, 1878, the Dutch United Industries Group announced that its inventor Sir Royle had invented the open-hearth steelmaking method, which immediately shocked the world.

The iron ore mining industry is mainly concentrated in Luxembourg-Lorraine, northern Spain, northern Sweden and Krivoy Rog in Ukraine, which contain iron ore.

The blower was continuously improved and eventually developed into the Bessemer converter built by Sir Henry Bessemer in Sheffield. The development of the steel age provided high-quality and low-cost steel for the railway age. Steel was also widely used in bridges, ships, and buildings.

Architecture and weapons army - fire.

Now the Netherlands has improved its steel forging, making the Netherlands the world leader in steel forging, which is very meaningful. If this continues, the Netherlands' share of the world's steel industry will definitely increase greatly. You must know that the invention of the blower appeared before

Later, European countries began to have their own steel industries. Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, the United States, etc. all had the most advanced steel industries. Now the Netherlands has taken the lead because of the emergence of the open-hearth steelmaking method. This is another

It was a major event in the Netherlands that broke the world industrial pattern.

Coupled with the fact that the Netherlands has just invented several world-changing inventions, the Netherlands' leading global position in the electrical age seems to have been officially established.

Britain's steam revolution has entered the past tense.

The Netherlands instead?

Become a new leader in world economic change.

No one would think that the Netherlands is not up to the task. Even London, which is extremely proud, has been overwhelmed by a series of new inventions in the Netherlands in recent years. This time, Edison's electric lights and electricity replaced workers' mechanical work, plus electricity transmission.

The emergence of high-voltage lines, this combination was enough to give steam power its most powerful opponent.

And coupled with the telephone, telegraph, radio, etc., these are enough to show that the electrical age seems to have a more extensive role.

It is said that many countries such as the German Empire, the American Commonwealth, Spain, and Sweden have begun to follow the footsteps of the Netherlands and have invested large-scale funds in the electrical industry. 'You must know that a country's finances are limited, and there are more here.

, even if there is investment in the electrical industry, the steam will be reduced.

What countries are doing now is obviously more optimistic about the future potential of the Netherlands than the UK.

So the UK has to face reality.

Who could have imagined that 20 years ago, the British Empire, which led the global economy, would be replaced by the Netherlands as the navigator of the global economy.

The Netherlands is now the most advanced economically developed country in the world. If it continues like this, no one knows how the Dutch economy will develop, but the UK will definitely be the first to face the impact.

Moreover, the Netherlands has squeezed Britain's original industrial product market to the extreme, which is absolutely unbearable for British domestic employment.

If left unchecked, Britain would soon be able to rely only on its own population and the colonized people in its overseas colonies to provide industrial products. In other words, the British industrial product market would become smaller, while that of the Netherlands would become larger.

As one goes and the other goes, Britain's strength will decline like a spiral.

This is absolutely something the British Empire, which is currently the world's largest country in terms of comprehensive strength, does not want to see.

Rising in the east and falling in the west, Britain, as a conservative great power, and the newly emerging Netherlands collided, and it seemed that they were about to collide in front of everyone.

All countries in the world seem to be afraid to blink, for fear that if the two countries start fighting in the blink of an eye, they will be unable to make arrangements, escape, and stay out of the fight.
