General Manager Zhang Brai told Shao Benyi who was waiting aside: "Mr. Shao, it will be up to your welding team to demonstrate your capabilities."
Shao Benyi knew this was the perfect opportunity to show off his abilities.
Once this technology was favored by Prince Su Shu, fame and fortune would come to him.
He can also let out a bad breath and make those on the Huaxia University technical review team regret it.
Shao Benyi smiled and went to the workbench to prepare.
General Manager Zhang Brai is accompanying Prince Su Shu, and he is responsible for introducing electric welding technology to Prince Su Shu.
"Your Highness, at first we didn't know that the pearl of electric welding technology was covered in dust.
The Imperial Navy saw the huge role played by inferior submarines in the naval battle between Song and Chu.
A small submarine with poor performance can actually sink a powerful battleship.
Exchanging fifty submarines for one battleship would be a huge profit.
But the Imperial Navy has sonar, and they want to be able to penetrate the submarines near the fleet under the detection of sonar.
Due to the current detection range of sonar, submarines can only dive deep.
Submarines with previous technology will slowly seep water even if they are just lurking in the surface seawater.
This is an unavoidable situation in the riveting process.
After the submarine dives deeply, water penetration becomes more serious, and the risk of sinking greatly increases.
As one of the major manufacturers of submarines, our Jiangnan Shipyard has no way to solve this problem.
The only way to find technologies that might solve the submarine problem is through the Defense Technology Bureau of the Metropolitan Government.
A total of fifteen technologies were found that could potentially solve the problem, and electric welding technology was one of them.
Jiangnan Shipyard summoned these technological inventors to Songjiang County and gave these talents certain support.
Mr. Shao Benyi stood out. Electric welding technology perfectly solved the problems encountered by submarines without causing new problems.
When engineers at the shipyard saw electric welding technology, they believed that this technology had broad development prospects.
This technology can be used wherever steel needs to be spliced.
The submarine withstood huge water pressure in the deep sea without any problems, which shows how strong the electric welding technology is."
When Prince Su Shu heard Zhang Brai's introduction to the welding technology, his eyes immediately brightened.
The prospects of the electric welding process are not only used in the shipbuilding industry. This is an extremely widely used process.
The application of welded steel is too wide, not only ship production can use this technology.
Construction projects such as reservoirs, high-rise buildings, and bridges also require this novel technology.
The development prospects of this technology are very good. It can promote the development of many industrial fields and provide the empire with hundreds of thousands more skilled workers.
These extra skilled workers can create great value.
Prince Su Shu believes that this technology will not contribute much to the development of science and technology.
But it plays a huge role in promoting the progress of social development.
Prince Su Shu heard the buzzing sound of electricity and saw Shao Benyi holding the machine and starting welding work.
What Shao Benyi is welding is very unusual. He is welding an oxygen cylinder.
Oxygen bottles are high-pressure containers. If even this high-pressure container can be completed by welding.
The reliability of the electric welding process will satisfy most application scenarios.
Prince Su Shu thought that he had overestimated the universality of electric welding technology, but he did not expect that he still underestimated the universality of electric welding technology.
He watched Shao Benyi weld the oxygen bottle. There were very few sparks produced during the welding process.
The track left by the welding rod on the weld seam also looks very rhythmic.
Prince Su Shu immediately realized that electric welders are also a type of work with a huge gap between the upper and lower limits.
There is a huge gap in the skills of the workers themselves. Some workers can process parts that cannot be processed by machines with their bare hands, while some workers cannot process qualified parts even with machines.
Welders look like this too.
Ordinary welders can only weld simple steel frames, while high-end welders can weld high-pressure tanks.
Prince Su Shu had a smile on his face. The more powerful the welding technology, the happier he would be.
Electric welding technology is an achievement of the New Deal, and it is closely related to him.
Shao Benyi quickly finished welding the oxygen tank. After carefully inspecting the weld, he began to ask the workers to fill the oxygen tank with oxygen.
Prince Su Shu hid in a safe area to observe whether the oxygen cylinder could withstand the internal pressure.
There are two methods for gas liquefaction, one is extremely low temperature, and the other is pressurization.
Compared with extremely low temperatures, pressurization is easier to achieve.
The oxygen in the oxygen bottle is liquid oxygen, and the bottle is under great pressure.
This pressure is greater than the pressure a submarine endures in the sea.
Prince Su Shu thought it would not succeed, but he also hoped that it would succeed.
The results were soon revealed: the oxygen cylinder was full of oxygen and there was still no air leakage at the weld.
When Prince Su Shu saw this result, he immediately applauded.
"The electric welding technology invented by Mr. Shao really impressed me.
This is an extremely outstanding technology that deserves the imperial court’s efforts to promote it.”
When Shao Benyi heard that Prince Su Shu personally told the news, he had an unconcealable smile on his face.
He holds the patent for the electric welding process. Once the imperial court vigorously promotes this technology, it will bring countless silver coins.
Prince Su Shu enthusiastically discussed the promotion of electric welding technology with Shao Benyi.
During the discussion, they all felt that as long as this good technology is widely known, many places will spontaneously learn this new technology because it can bring improvements in efficiency and quality.
Prince Su Shu watched the promotion plan being perfected little by little. He felt that this plan was very easy and the performance of the welding process was so strong that no one could refuse it.
They discussed all the relevant matters until night and finalized the promotion plan.
Prince Su Shu then left Jiangnan Shipyard.
Jiangnan Shipyard uses electric welding technology to build ships, and their shipbuilding speed will be very fast.
Prince Su Shu does not need to worry about Jiangnan Shipyard, because the inability to deliver work on time has damaged the reputation of Jiangnan Shipyard.
Only then did he look away from Jiangnan Shipyard and look at the operations of other companies in Songjiang County.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The overall industrial situation of Songjiang County is very good.
After Songjiang County experienced an economic crisis and a large number of bankruptcies.
Some small factories with low technical content and insufficient capital have been eliminated from the market.
The remaining market is enough for the remaining people to divide it up.
As the economy recovers, these companies that have persisted have seen the light of day.
When the economy recovers, there will be little competitive pressure due to the bankruptcy of a large number of companies.
These companies saw the opportunity and they developed rapidly.
The most critical point is that Songjiang County is a key industrial area for the empire to develop, and the industrial chain here is complete.
Major companies can take advantage of the industrial chain to reduce costs and keep up with market trends.
Prince Su Shu saw the strong advantages of the industrial chain in Songjiang County.
A conglomerate of companies has formed an industrial chain, and their power to suppress small factory owners and retail investors is extremely terrifying.
Prince Su Shu is planning to investigate in detail the impact of Songjiang County's industrial chain on the economy.
He received an urgent telegram from the capital.
After Prince Su Shu finished reading, his expression changed drastically and he immediately set off to return to the capital.
The matter informed by this telegram is extremely urgent.
His trip to inspect the local area will definitely end at the beginning and end from now on.
Prince Su Shu got on the anti-Beijing train and read the short telegram carefully.
The telegram just tells one thing.
Two European vassal states, Wu and Gui, sent representatives to the empire. They asked the empire to mediate the dispute between the two countries.
Prince Su Shu knew very well that these two countries did not want the empire to mediate the dispute between them.
They wanted to test the empire's attitude.
Prince Su Shu expected that the arms race between the two countries had reached its limit, or that one side was ready for war.
Once they understand the empire's attitude, war will break out in a short time.
This situation also echoes the purchase of a large number of second-hand 10,000-ton freighters in Songjiang County.
Regardless of whether the vassal countries are ready for this war, once some countries are ready to take action.
Even countries that are not ready for war will end immediately.
When a war begins, the country that ends up still has the possibility of victory.
Otherwise, if we wait for the regional hegemon to be determined, these countries that did not participate in the war will be the meat on the chopping block.
These vassal states did not have the qualifications to be fishermen, let alone the strength to be fishermen.
Only the empire can rely on its strong industrial strength to be able to be a fisherman.
The empire's current strength means that even if all the major vassal states launch an all-out attack, the empire's army can still keep the enemy at bay.
It is precisely because the empire has the ability to change the situation of the war at will that these vassal states will test the empire's attitude.
If the empire was biased, this war would never be fought.
They start the war to win, not to become cannon fodder.
Prince Su Shu is more concerned about this issue than others.
His three younger brothers were enfeoffed in Europe.
If the vassal states in Europe took into account the identity of his younger brother, they would not dare to touch his younger brother's territory.
If this incident really happened, it would not be a good thing for Prince Su Shu.
Prince Su Shu has not forgotten how Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, became emperor.
He also remembered that his father put the country first.
His younger brothers seized the opportunity and performed very well.
The vassal states grew stronger and had the strength to challenge the empire.
Or maybe his younger brothers showed great ability to govern the country, which made the father have the idea of changing the prince.
Once this happens, it will be a devastating blow to Prince Su Shu.
The simplest way for him to avoid this happening is to let these vassal states know before the war begins that the empire will treat all vassal states equally.
The empire will also formally sign relevant agreements with the vassal states to determine the rights and obligations between the suzerain state and the vassal states.
When it comes to wars between vassal states, most of the empire is neutral. Whatever happens in the vassal states has nothing to do with them.
There are only some people with relevant interests, and they are divided into the peace faction and the war faction.
Prince Su Shu positioned himself as the main war faction, but he was very close to the main peace faction.
As the crown prince of the empire, he could not openly support the empire's vassal states in their civil war.
Prince Su Shu put down the telegram, sat back in his chair, closed his eyes and thought about what to do.
The most critical point in this matter is the father's choice.
The father chose to intervene in the civil war between the vassal states.
Even if the domestic situation in these vassal countries is no longer sustainable and an economic crisis is about to break out again, they do not dare to start a war.
Prince Su Shu knew his father very well.
My father will never be manipulated by the whim of the moment.
He knew that repeatedly preventing wars between vassal states would only continue to accumulate and deepen hatred.
My father will not turn the conflicts between vassal states into conflicts between the Sweet Potato Kingdom and the Empire.
Prince Su Shu knew his father's choice, but he did not dare to gamble.
He must be involved in this matter to guide the development of the matter in the direction he wants.
Prince Su Shu has basically completed his mission. He proved that the negative consequences of the economic crisis have been gradually offset by the development brought about by new technologies and new industries.
Prince Su Shu took a train from Songjiang County directly to the capital.
When he returned to the capital, he immediately felt much lighter.
Prince Su Shu learned about the situation first. He knew that delegations from various countries had not yet arrived in the capital.
This matter has not been formally discussed, and many things can be prepared in advance.
Prince Su Shu asked people to spread the news quietly.
There will definitely be some crazy vassal states that, in order to win the war, are now luring the people of the empire to immigrate at high prices and using them as cannon fodder.
There will also be vassal states that conceal information from within themselves.
Most people don't know that the war is about to break out, and they still think they live in a safe place.
Once this news is announced, a large part of the laborers working in Europe will choose to return to the empire.
Prince Su Shu is also using public opinion to test the positions of all parties.
He arranged this matter and immediately went to the palace to report to his father what he had discovered during his inspection of the place.
After Prince Su Shu reported the trip, he said excitedly: "Father, the new policies introduced by the imperial court are extremely effective and have saved many companies that were struggling on the edge.
Investing in technology and letting technology bring social development is a very smooth road.
When I was in Hanzhong Mansion, I discovered a machine that could actually take people into the sky.
If this aircraft can be developed, its use scenarios will be very broad and it will definitely create huge employment opportunities.
I saw someone in Songjiang County inventing a welding process that can weld cracked tanks into one piece.
This technology has matured and its application scenarios are extremely wide.
As the welding process spreads, more workers will surely be brought to the empire.
From now on, except for a few places, most people will not use riveting technology."
Emperor Su He saw Prince Su Shu and introduced his itinerary with great joy.
He was satisfied with what Prince Su Shu had done along the way.
Prince Su Shu's fact-based investigation gave the court reliable data support for the performance of the New Deal.
Prince Su Shu saw that his father was in a good mood, so he took the initiative to invite Ying and said: "Father, I heard that representatives from the vassal states are about to arrive in the empire.
I have a better understanding of the situation in the vassal country."
Emperor Su He pondered for a moment, and he agreed to Prince Su Shu's request and asked Prince Su Shu to receive the representatives of the vassal countries.
As the emperor, he could not receive these representatives in person. Among the remaining candidates, Prince Su Shu was already the best choice.
