After the Yaman Empire refused to stop its general mobilization, the Saarland Empire and the Nantes Empire announced national general mobilization orders, and then the Kingdom of Habfsburg and the Grand Duchy of Sardinia also issued general mobilization orders on the same day. Between the Entente Group and the Alliance Group countries
They soon declared war on each other, and on July 19, 902, the great melee between the powers of the Western Continent finally began.
Fang Xiaoyu heard the news about the war between various countries when he was inspecting the work of the newly established Rocket Research Institute in the Wild Continent. Hearing the news, Fang Xiaoyu smiled slightly: "After so many preparations and provocation for so long, they finally started the war. Look,
Our supplies now have a market."
Then he ignored the news and walked into the laboratory. "Zhong Gong, how is the situation?" Fang Xiaoyu began to ask as soon as he entered the laboratory.
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu enter the laboratory, Li Zhonggong, who was doing experiments, immediately put down the tools in his hands, knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am really stupid. Even if you gave me a complete set of information, I still can't understand it.
I am really stupid, please punish me."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and pulled Li Zhonggong up from the ground and said: "Why did Zhonggong fall out after not seeing each other for a few days? Why do you old brothers who have been with me for many years call you the emperor? You should call me young master, listen.
kind."
Li Zhonggong quickly objected: "How is this possible? The emperor has already ascended the throne."
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether I ascend to the throne or not. I am not where I am today because of the help of you old brothers. I will make an order today. From now on, when old brothers see me, they will not kneel down and worship me, and they will not call me emperor."
Sir, just call me young master."
Li Zhonggong said excitedly: "The young master is really considerate of us. What he said made me feel warm in my heart, as if I have returned to the time when we first met at Lanting Villa."
Fang Xiaoyu patted Li Zhonggong on the shoulder and said: "What's the point of being an emperor and calling me a lonely person? If you old brothers are separated from me, it won't be interesting to me as an emperor. From today on, I will abolish the old etiquette."
, the emperor’s majesty is achieved by oneself, not by kneeling down and worshiping.”
Li Zhonggong said with tears in his eyes: "It turns out that the young master has not changed. He is still our young master."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "I will never change. Zhong Gong, this rocket laboratory is a very important project for us in the future. You have to be more careful."
Li Zhonggong was puzzled: "But these things are too difficult. I have been reading them for a week and still have only a little understanding of them. Master, can you let me meet the master who wrote these papers? I would like to ask him in person, so that I can become his teacher."
"
The paper was researched by Xiaofeng, how could he get it out? Even if Fang Xiaoyu could let Xiaofeng speak out the answer in his mind and answer it himself, these things were too advanced and he couldn't even learn them. Fang Xiaoyu had no choice but to
Said: "This master Shenlong has never seen his head and tail, and I don't know his whereabouts. I can't introduce him to you, so you can only do your own research."
Li Zhonggong shook his head and said: "It's really difficult. We tried to make a rocket engine two days ago, but it exploded as soon as it started."
Fang Xiaoyu spread his hands and said: "I can't do anything about this. You can only study it yourself. The jet engine studied by Brother Feng is also very difficult. If you think this is too difficult, just change it with Brother Feng."
Li Zhonggong shook his head and said: "Forget it, I went to see it a few days ago, and it's difficult enough. I'd better overcome the difficulties on my own."
After walking out of the laboratory, Fang Xiaoyu shook his head. This rocket engine is the first step for him to go home. No matter how difficult it is, he has to start immediately. But fortunately, with Xiaofeng's help, I believe that with the guidance of the thesis, Li Zhonggong and the others should be able to
Successful.
Now Xiaofeng has not yet reached level six, and there are restrictions on all aerospace technologies. It can only conduct theoretical research but cannot conduct practical research, and the resources used for upgrading are far away. A total of only eight resources have been collected from several races.
Hundreds of tons of rough diamonds, now we have to rely on ordinary scientists.
"Xiao Feng." Fang Xiaoyu started calling the chip again.
Xiao Feng said: "What's the problem, Master?"
Fang Xiaoyu asked: "Can we start research on nuclear energy?" Whether it is an atomic bomb or a nuclear reactor, Fang Xiaoyu wants the most. When he inspected the rocket laboratory today, he suddenly thought of nuclear weapons.
Xiaofeng said: "You can study it, but it's of no use here."
"It's useless?" Fang Xiaoyu asked strangely: "How could it be useless?"
Xiaofeng said: "Because according to my scan, there is no uranium ore on this planet at all."
"What?" Fang Xiaoyu said in shock: "No uranium ore? Oh my god, my nuclear weapons and my nuclear reactor are gone."
Xiaofeng asked strangely: "Is primary power like nuclear power good? Why don't I think so?"
"Elementary? Does this mean there is something better?" Fang Xiaoyu said in surprise.
"Yes, there are many weapons more powerful than nuclear weapons, and there are also many power sources that are better than nuclear power. Nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors are just the initial exploration of super-powerful weapons and perpetual motion machines." Xiaofeng said with certainty.
answered.
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Can you tell me what it is?"
Xiaofeng said: "Those technologies are too far away from you, and it's useless to tell you now."
Now that Fang Xiaoyu knew that there was something better than nuclear power, he was not in a hurry. It would be there sooner or later anyway. "Your Majesty, where are we going now?" Seeing Fang Xiaoyu sitting in the back seat in a daze as soon as he got into the car, the driver finally couldn't help it.
Asked.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Nothing happens, let's go back to the palace."
The powerful powers in the Western Continent are already gearing up and preparing for a big fight. However, the Chinese Empire is still immersed in technological innovation and expanding production scale. Fang Xiaoyu even began to consider having the first national sports meeting and racing competition funded by the royal family. The former can stimulate the people's enthusiasm for strengthening.
The desire for one's own physical fitness can improve the physical fitness of the entire population; the latter can stimulate the development of automobiles and accelerate technological progress.
Fang Xiaoyu understands very well that it is far from the time to do it on his own. The most important thing right now is to work hard to develop his own technology and industrial and commercial capabilities to prepare for the upcoming product dumping.
The current development of the Chinese Empire is still very unbalanced. In the land of the old Chinese territory, transportation is convenient, modern large and medium-sized cities can be found everywhere, and intensive large-scale industry is very developed.
In the area controlled by the original Lanfang Empire government and the other three lords, the city was dilapidated and dirty. Except for the railway built at Xia Houying's request, even cement roads were rare. The economy here was still based on agriculture.
, the industrial scale is very small, and many of them are made by hand.
A large amount of land is in the hands of landlords, and the social structure is still semi-feudal and semi-slavery. The current Chinese Empire is on par with the United States before the Civil War. It is only because Fang Xiaoyu has an absolutely superior army that there will be no war.
The current Chinese empire is full of contradictions, but Fang Xiaoyu does not have time to sort it out slowly, nor can he solve all problems with a war like the United States. Fortunately, most of the land is concentrated in the hands of a few big families, especially those who occupy the country's cultivated land.
Forty percent of the Cheng family, their land, and tens of millions of slaves have passed into Fang Xiaoyu's hands. With such convenient conditions, Fang Xiaoyu launched a series of policies after careful discussion with Hua Dongxing and other loyal ministers.
Naturally, the first thing to be introduced was the old plan for the construction of transportation facilities. Although a large amount of the funds of the Chinese Consortium have been absorbed in hoarding materials, several other major families are very rich.
After a series of negotiations, Fang Xiaoyu signed a series of agreements with the three major families. First, the imperial government allowed the four major families of Fang, Xia, Wang, and Xiahou to contract for the construction of domestic railways and highways, and agreed to build domestic railways and highways within a certain period of time.
All income from the domestic railways belongs to each family, and toll stations can be set up on highways, but the price, number of toll stations, and toll time must comply with the country's strict regulations.
The Chinese Consortium will provide a series of technical support to the four major families and help them establish companies in several industries. This is Fang Xiaoyu's compensation for the support of these major families in supporting him to peacefully unify the country and become emperor. In addition, the four major families have promised to provide services in agriculture.
fully cooperate with the empire's policies on all issues.
Fang Xiaoyu knew very well that if the Chinese Empire had only one company as its backbone, the China Consortium, it would not only be prone to corruption and lack of enterprising spirit, but would also have many problems. Therefore, he focused on supporting three other consortiums as a supplement to the China Consortium, and
Maintain domestic economic balance.
There are a large number of military horse farms and livestock farms owned by the Chinese consortium in Dongmeng County. Fang Xiaoyu sold these properties to the Wang family's Xuanhe consortium at a low price. Of course, Fang Xiaoyu revealed a situation to Wang Xuan. With the popularity of internal combustion engines, military horses are used in the military.
His status in the army would be greatly reduced. He suggested that Wang Xuan should change to raising racehorses, and at the same time, most military horse farms should be transformed into raising cattle and sheep.
In order to support Wang Xuan's animal husbandry, he also transferred the technology of high-temperature sterilization of milk, non-toxic packaging, and canning of various meats at low prices, and helped Xuanhe Consortium establish a large number of meat and milk food processing enterprises.
factory.
The Guofeng Consortium headed by Fang Dingguo has always been the leading company in cotton spinning and garment manufacturing in the past. In addition, they also have part of the steel industry. This time Fang Xiaoyu helped the Fang family expand the steel industry and gave them some petrochemical technology.
After all, we are our own family, so we should give more discounts.
The Xia family's Zhongxia Consortium is run by Fang Xiaoyu's father-in-law Xia Yuhui. The Xia family was originally the leader in the manufacturing industry of the Lanfang Empire. It was only due to the rise of the Zhonghua Consortium that it ranked second. However, its foundation is still quite deep, especially with its
With their large number of technicians and skilled workers, they also have considerable advantages in establishing factories. For this reason, Fang Xiaoyu not only assigned some of the steel companies and mechanical processing industries to the Zhongxia Consortium, but also assigned some of the light industries in his hands, especially the manufacturing of nylon.
