Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Even if there is no navy, I still think that if we develop industry and commerce, the best mode of transportation is sea transportation. Not only is the transportation cost low, but also because it can be sold abroad, the market is much larger." As for Fang Xiaoyu's talent in industrial manufacturing and business.
I'm afraid everyone in the empire knows this. This explanation makes Xia Jun believe it. He said: "I can try my best to fight for you, but the best result is the relatively poor Luhai County." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "That's right.
Naturally, I would be very satisfied if I could get Luhai County, thank you Marshal for your cultivation."
Xia Jun waved his hand and said: "You will be my grandson-in-law from now on. I will naturally take more care of you, but what are you going to do with Wei'er and Yun'er?" Hearing Marshal Xia Jun suddenly change the topic to the Xia sisters
Fang Xiaoyu was stunned: "Marshal, what do you mean?"
Xia Jun looked at Fang Xiaoyu with deep eyes and said, "I know Wei'er also likes you very much. Have you ever considered marrying two?" Fang Xiaoyu secretly thought about it many times, but he didn't dare to say this to Xia Jun.
He could only say vaguely: "I haven't thought about it yet, after all, I am not yet fourteen years old."
Xia Jun laughed and said: "You're not young anymore. There are already many people in the empire who have children at the age of fourteen or fifteen. A man can work hard to start a business, but he must remember that the money can never be made and the wars can never be fought.
You still have to think about your own personal issues when you have time.”
Fang Xiaoyu secretly wondered, are the people in the Lanfang Empire so precocious? Fang Xiaoyu, who has been educated in New China, always feels that puppy love is shameful and cannot be tolerated by nature. Why do everyone here support puppy love? Seeing Fang Xiaoyu not speaking, Xia Jun laughed and said:
"You'd better go back and think about it carefully. I'm not in a hurry to ask you to answer. But I want to tell you that my Xia Jun's granddaughter is not just married off. If you want to marry two people at the same time, you have to make a big enough decision.
Achievements and high enough status."
After leaving the Xia family, Fang Xiaoyu did not return to the villa, but returned to the Fang family's old house to visit his long-lost family members, especially his mother. At night, Fang Xiaoyu still slept on the small bed he had slept on for more than ten years. "Xiao Feng
." Fang Xiaoyu, who couldn't sleep, began to call Xiao Feng.
Xiaofeng replied: "What's the matter, Master?" Fang Xiaoyu said: "You think it would be too shameless if I married all the Xia sisters." Xiaofeng said: "I'm just a civilian research chip, I don't have an emotional system.
But according to Chinese law, you will be guilty of bigamy." Fang Xiaoyu said: "I am now a citizen of the Lanfang Empire, who still abides by Chinese law? Besides, I have broken the law, can the Chinese police still come here to arrest me?
I would be grateful to them if I could capture him."
Xiaofeng said: "So I can't give you a definite answer, but I think you should come and take a look at the chip. You haven't entered it for a month and a lot of research has been completed." "Really?" Fang Xiaoyu immediately forgot his feelings.
The trouble quickly entered the chip.
In the chip's control room, the huge screen was suspended in the air as always. Fang Xiaoyu walked over and found that the number of research points had become 370＼40000. "Oh my God, there are so many free." Fang Xiaoyu immediately opened the technology tree interface,
The research on single-expansion high-pressure steam engines and fire barrel boilers has been completed, but when Fang Xiaoyu determined the technological research on triple-expansion steam engines and fire-tube boilers, he suddenly found a digital countdown on the technology, and was shocked to discover that the research on triple-expansion steam engines
The time was actually half a year, Fang Xiaoyu said: "Why is the research time of this three-expansion steam engine so much longer than that of a single-expansion steam engine?"
Xiaofeng said: "The three-expansion steam engine is a complete subversion of steam engine theory. It proposed the concept of machine linkage for the first time. I have no technical reserves for this research direction, so the speed of research will naturally be slower."
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "How is this chip designed? It is a very high-tech thing, but it is so slow to study steam engines. It would be great if its previous level was not reset to zero and the database was not lost. Fortunately, the fire tube boiler is not so
It's disruptive, but it only takes a month and a half to research.
Blast furnace steelmaking has been researched. Fang Xiaoyu believed that there was no need to study the subsequent steelmaking projects. He first chose some projects in light industry and machinery manufacturing. Various military theoretical research still invested some points as usual, but now
The points were relatively rich, and he increased the points in this area to 5,000 points.
In terms of heavy industry, Fang Xiaoyu already has a certain technological foundation, which is considered very advanced for today's world. He is now eager to convert his technological advantages into productivity, and has only selected some more practical mechanical research.
The next morning, Fang Xiaoyu returned to Lanting Villa. He left fifty single-expansion steam engines and supporting boilers, dozens of the best machine tools he could provide, and ten sets of blast furnace components in the warehouse.
, are all produced by Xiaofeng in the heavy industrial equipment warehouse. Fang Xiaoyu only needs to hand over the manual to Sun Huaizong. With those naturally skilled dwarf technicians and the help of several scientists, he no longer needs
Then teach them how to use it step by step.
Only a small part of these equipment was used in the factories built in Luoyun Mountain, and most of them had to be transported to the Wild Continent to set up factories there. In addition, Fang Xiaoyu also wrote all the books on artillery manufacturing that Xiaofeng recorded in the Western Continent.
When he came down, he asked China East to hand it over to Beretta Hammer and let him try to make advanced breech-loading artillery in the Western Continent. Once artillery with a caliber of more than 150 mm can be cast, a large number of forts will be built in Moore Harbor immediately. For this
As a territory that has not been recognized by the international community, Fang Xiaoyu is still very cautious.
Because the environment there is relatively airtight and it is not easy to leak information, Fang Xiaoyu also gave the drawings of the Mauser GEW98 rifle and Maxin heavy machine gun to Huadongxing based on his understanding of light weapons in his previous life. These things are almost Fang Xiaoyu's.
The only advantage he could rely on besides the chip was that he had to make good use of it. The dwarves were not good at craftsmanship, but they lacked creativity. With their own blueprints, I believe they could quickly make these weapons by themselves.
Fang Xiaoyu is not afraid of the dwarves' rebellion. Not only does he want to send most of the Iron-blooded Guards to the barbaric continent, but the slaves who continue to arrive there are also Fang Xiaoyu's solid backing, because Fang Xiaoyu played a little word game when liberating the slaves, that is
He liberated those slaves instead of applying for the emancipation of those slaves in the empire.
At first glance, this statement makes no difference, but the real meaning is that as long as they are on Fang Xiaoyu's territory, they are not slaves. As for escaping or rebelling, the empire has slave files, and they will also be treated as escaped slaves, and the empire
The treatment of escaped slaves is very simple. There is only one way and that is to shoot them.
Only a few days after returning to the military camp, orders came from superiors requiring all troops to prepare for war. The military camp immediately became tense. Everyone began to prepare their luggage and check weapons, including Fang Xiaoyu. The ninth brigade of the garrison camp was
A pure infantry unit, the unit's weapons only have single-shot breech-loading rifles and no artillery configuration. Such a light weapons configuration is simply courting death when encountering cavalry without the help of artillery units. For this reason, he approached Xiahoude and asked for artillery. As a result,
Xiahou De pushed him back because he was not in compliance with the rules.
Unable to equip artillery, Fang Xiaoyu found another way. He secretly asked the factory in Lanting Villa to manufacture grenades. Although Fang Xiaoyu did not dare to expose the half-baked yellow explosives and smokeless gunpowder, the grenades could only be filled with black powder.
However, Fang Xiaoyu did not intend to use the explosive power of the grenade to kill people. The grenade he designed was filled with gunpowder such as scrap iron scraps left over from the workshop. The fragmentation damage caused by this was much greater. In addition,
Since the breech-loading gun is equipped with mercury fulminate, Fang Xiaoyu does not have to make the ancient ignition grenade. Instead, he uses a pull fuse, which makes the use of the grenade much faster. If it is formed on a large scale, I believe it can pose a great threat to the cavalry.
Soldiers like grenades, a close combat weapon, very much. Having this weapon is equivalent to having an extra life in close combat. Therefore, before the departure order was given, every officer and soldier of the 9th Brigade had an additional grenade bag with equipment.
Six wooden handle grenades in total.
Hand grenades are a new thing in this world. Except for the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Brigade, the officers and soldiers of other troops did not know what they were used for, so even Xiahou De did not interfere too much. Later, he even used the grenade as a wine flask and asked Fang Xiaoyu
The Ninth Brigade strictly prohibited drinking during wartime, which caused a joke.
