Chapter 145 The Age of Machinery
"call……"
On the night when the wind is rising, the warship is like a lonely boat on the sea. E^ Can't see such a sea, but there is no way to use the "Hanwu AF" class warship. Especially when facing the lighthouse on the island, the strong light emitted by the ship can enter the port according to its instructions, even if the sea is so angry that it has no choice.
A seaport often has facilities, but for Jaffna, in the northern part of the Pearl of Ceylon, there is no need for it. Several islands on the outside and the Pearl of Ceylon itself block most of the sea breezes. Even in the southeast of the city, there is a bay that is reported by the coast. The sea breeze is here, because the coast has blocked it, it has no effect.
Because of the unique shape of the "Hanwu AF" class warship and the advantage of sails, such a level of sea would not affect anything. At the bow of the ship, the captain "reads" the lights on the port-leading ship in front with a telescope and translates them into the following instructions casually.
"Left Ruler 5"
"Left rudder 5...5 degrees left..."
This is the relationship between the captain and the helmsman. The captain's orders will be repeated. During the repetition process, the helmsman will start to rudder and will reply in the form of a "reverse" after completion. It is really a pleasure to drive the ship in the cockpit of the "Hanwu AF" class warship, even on such a night, the same is true.
On the servo, there is a magnetic compass, and even a small lamp using kerosene is underneath it. This ensures that the helmsman can see the pointer of the magnetic compass in any light situation. In addition, there are not so many people standing in the entire cockpit, including the helmsman, who also have chairs but don’t sit when they are rudders. As for other personnel, they all sit and work.
There are no more buildings on the deck of the entire "Hanwu AF" class warship except for a liftable watchtower. The watchtower was also put down at such nights. During combat, the watchtower did not play much role. Because it would be viewed using a towed airship that rose into the air, it would be much further than the watchtower. Of course, it would be impossible to lift off at nights like this.
In the entire cockpit, in order to reduce the reflection of the glass, there are no lights in fact. However, there are bright signs on the floor, so no one will make a mistake even in the dark night. In fact, it is a small dong on the deck, and the light is just a reflection of the light on the lower deck. In this way, the cockpit can be kept dark so that the glass does not produce reflection and affects observation.
With the action of the pilot ship, the people on the "Hanwu AF" class warship were surprised to find that they had not been here for only a month, and there had been considerable changes here. Especially when Zhao Fubo led Shi Xuerong and the others to the downward watchtower. Even though it was like this, there were bright lights of gas lights, no matter the harbor, barracks, or the edges of residential areas.
It can be seen in the bay that the tall and sturdy docks have been set up. Compared with the trestle in the past, such facilities allow heavy-duty vehicles to pass through. Before there are cars, the docks were covered with rails, and the flatbed trucks on them could deliver goods to places inland for easy loading and unloading. There are Mén-shaped cranes using "fuel steam engines", which can lift containers to those load chassis and then pull them inland with 4 or 8 horses. Of course, with a complete railway system in the future, or cars using steam engines, everything will be simpler.
Moreover, under the observation of Zhao Fubo's room, he found that the cardinal enterprise using large "fuel steam engines" had already started operation at this time. This indicates that in the near future, the production speed of "fuel steam engines" will be faster. Power machinery enterprises will inevitably be profitable enterprises in the future. Naturally, they are also royal investments of the "Huaxia Empire" to facilitate confidentiality and rapid development.
As mentioned earlier, the welfare shares, royal expenses and some such large national-level buildings in the "Huaxia Empire" are the sources of profitable enterprises. Moreover, in the era when a large number of ships, trains, and cars are needed in the future, such power machine manufacturers will naturally be profitable enterprises among huge profits.
Of course, at the same time, the parts that were bid for processing have not stopped being produced. This will allow the "Huaxia Empire" to enter the steam era more quickly, although Zhao Fubo hopes to enter the electrical era as soon as possible. The processing capacity of the least electric car is much better than that of the steam-powered car.
Of course, that was still a dream, a dream that everyone was chasing. Seeing all this, Zhao Fubo turned around. Behind him was not a boat, but a large group of transport ships, the second company that relocated to the "Huaxia Island" they brought.
It is worth noting that the relocation of enterprises is almost completely different from what you think. Businessmen like Zhao Mingcheng often end their enterprises in "Huaxia Island". Then they come to the Pearl Province of Ceylon with drawings bought heavily from the "Royal Academy of Sciences of the Empire of China". When they arrive here, they will directly purchase new production lines from machinery manufacturing companies. Of course, because they are relocation-style graduation, everything will be the same here.
Although there are new machinery, it does not mean that these companies will lay off employees. After all, the entire market is still in a rising process at this moment, and because of the various agricultural technologies provided by the "Huaxia Empire" to the outside world, all businessmen are also predicting that their business will be better in the future. At this moment, it is their investment and expansion of reproduction opportunities. Even if they produce matches and daily necessities such as féi soap, they do not intend to lay off employees. You should know that the goods of the "Huaxia Empire" can now be said to be "world market monopolists."
Those who believe that some conservative forces who believe that "the hometown of China" can withstand such changes by believing that "heaven, earth, gods, and Buddhas" are a bit too naive. After all, these are "world market monopolists", and their wealth and strength are not something that those who agree with "the king makes the minister die and have to die" or like small feet can stop them. Whether they are happy or not, they are not qualified to stop this directly from the changes caused by the increase of "productivity".
It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, the "Huaxia Empire" who mastered the "fuel steam engine", the world's first power machine manufacturing technology, is not much different from that of God compared to those ignorant forces. In the face of the confrontation caused by mechanical power, there is only one result.
