Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 852

[Chapter 852 Key Materials]

The meeting hall was quiet, only Zhao Xu’s voice echoed.

Wang Chong, Li Wei and other students listened very carefully, and wrote down important matters in the booklet from time to time.

“After I go back, I will ask Liu Fu to allocate money to you for thermal power plants and power coverage projects. The Ministry of Industry will also allocate manpower with you. We must pay close attention to this matter.”

Wang Chong nodded. At this moment, Li Wei suddenly raise your hand.

Zhao Xu signaled him to say.

“Your Highness, power generation is not my problem at the moment, but the problem with cables is a big one. Dry oiled paper is only suitable for laboratory use, not for long-distance power transmission. After all, Feng Shui is exposed to the sun and is extremely easy to damage.” Li Wei looked at the matter with a serious look.

“Before the thermal power plant is built, this king will solve this problem.” Zhao Xu said.

Only insulated cables with rubber sheaths are suitable for power transmission.

Therefore, the rubber problem is a problem that he must solve at present.

Moreover, in addition to the need for rubber for wires, with the advent of the electric age, rubber will almost become an indispensable necessity for all walks of life.

Even for industrial development, he has to take over the rubber plantations in Nanyang.

When the war in Jiangnan is over, this matter has to be put on the agenda.

It takes at least one year to build a medium-to-large thermal power plant, which is enough time.

Talking about the wire problem, Zhao Xu said to Wang Chong: “Now we can start the research and development of the workshop production line.”

The workshop production line he mentioned is naturally no longer the workshop production line of the steam industry era.

It is the production line of the electric age.

Such as transforming lathes, spinning machines, looms, etc., to make them suitable for electric motors.

In this way, Yanzhou’s industrial level will be reborn.

Not only the overall efficiency is improved, but also finer parts can be manufactured.

Only at this point can he consider the manufacture of metal bullets.

And the advent of metal bullets would allow for an extremely powerful weapon.

This is the machine gun.

In addition to further upgrades to weapons, machinery can also be further upgraded, such as internal combustion engines.

With the internal combustion engine, the first generation of cars and monoplanes can be tried.

However, although the future is bright, even mature drawings cannot be realized immediately.

It still needs the hard work of the students of the research institute, step by step.

But fortunately, this process will not be too long.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Wang Chong replied yes.   After explaining to Wang Chong, Zhao Xu looked at Qu Sheng

again, “The application of electricity can not only promote the development of machinery, but also the development of the chemical industry. Chemicals that could not be manufactured before can now be manufactured.”

Excited, he said: “Your Highness, I dreamed that one day the laboratory would be powered on, and now I finally got my wish.”

When he was in the Science and Technology School, King Yan told them that many chemicals need electricity to operate . Decomposition and synthesis.

For example, hydrogen, although it can also be produced by other active metals and dilute sulfuric acid.

But this method is only suitable for laboratories, and the cost of industrial production will be very high.

But with electricity, it is different. You only need to dissociate water to get oxygen and hydrogen.

Most importantly, it can be prepared on a large scale in workshops.

Then, pure oxygen and hydrogen can develop oxyhydrogen welding.

Welding will be of great benefit to the shipbuilding industry and other large-scale machinery manufacturing that requires welding.

Pure oxygen alone can also be used in converter steelmaking, replacing the current blowing air, resulting in better quality steel.

Hydrogen can also be used to synthesize ammonia, which in turn can be used to make fertilizers.

Therefore, once the electricity is put into use, Dasong will develop earth-shaking changes.

“Then realize all your dreams, just like Wang Chong, now your chemistry laboratory can also be prepared.” Zhao Xu laughed.

“Yes.” Qu Sheng answered resoundingly and decisively.

After hearing this, everyone smiled knowingly.

This test of thermal power generation is a grand event for each of them.

After chatting with Wang Chong, Qu Sheng and others for a while, Zhao Xu left the research institute and returned to the palace.

Along the way, he felt extremely relaxed. It won’t be long before Dasong’s industry will take off.

Just as he was thinking, a group of cavalry came in a hurry.

Arriving in front of him, the cavalry said: “Your Highness, Chevsky, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Ross, has arrived in Jincheng, and he requested to meet His Highness.”

“Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Ross?” Zhao Xu frowned.

At present, the country of Ross, Britain, and Beidi are working together to intervene in the civil strife in Dasong.

He even sent military instructors to fight the Qin army in Yizhou with Beidi people.

At this time, the country of Ross sent someone more important than Ivan, what is the intention?

After pondering for a while, he said: “Let him wait at

Yanguan.” He didn’t plan to meet the foreign minister of the country of Ross in Yancheng.

Now that the two sides have reached the point of fighting each other, there is no need for him to come to Dasong Imperial City.

“Yes, Your Highness.” In response, the cavalry turned and left, while Zhao Xu returned to the palace.   Seeing Zhao Xu’s return, the resentment on Yang Susu’s face dissipated immediately, and she walked over with a smile

on her face, but said coquettishly, “Your Highness is finally willing to come back.”

Things get worse.

After all, to him, this is an insignificant matter compared to thermal power generation.

Moreover, the current state of Ross is at its peak in the West, and he does not believe that the State of Ross in this state has any sincere cooperation with him.

Thinking of this, he threw away all the chores in his mind.

Hugging Yang Susu by the waist, he smiled and said, “It’s a sin to neglect the beauty.”

As he said, he walked towards the inner room with Yang Susu in his arms.

Yang Susu giggled, and kept knocking on Zhao Xu’s chest for fun.

The two are already husband and wife, they are familiar with each other, so naturally they don’t have the shyness of the first time.

After tossing until she was exhausted, Yang Susu put her arms around Zhao Xu’s neck, and the two chatted.

Yang Susu asked him about the war in the south of the Yangtze River, he, he asked about the Yang Susu Girls’ School.

“Your Highness, that’s a good question. During this period of time, my concubine really opened a girls’ school. Wang Xuan published the matter in the newspaper, which aroused a lot of discussion. However, Liu Fu said that there are more girls entering school recently. Quite a lot.” Yang Susu said, slightly proud.

“Really?” Zhao Xu smiled, “So, this king will give you a credit and give you a big reward.”   Yang

Susu said happily, “What does Your Highness want to reward my ministers and concubines?”

Rubbing Yang Susu’s back, “Thank you for not sleeping tonight.”

Yang Susu was stunned for a while, but before he could remember, he saw Zhao Xu pounced on him, and immediately understood, he couldn’t help being both happy and angry.

At this time, a round of bright moon reflected on the green trees, and the sound of chanting came from the small window.
