A bang!

A strong light flashed, and then a piece of white smoke rose. The important members who participated in the steel production ceremony of the First Steel Plant of the New Tang Empire in the United States took photos with His Majesty the Emperor's family.↖

When it comes to photography technology, this is a spotlight, and this is proposed by Li Mengyang. Of course, he is not an inventor, but in his consciousness, it seems that photography should be so scary, but unexpectedly, this spotlight does not exist in this era.

That's right, Li Mengyang said he was talking nonsense...

However, our steel plant is officially in operation, and the production, supply and marketing, what kind of battleships, these...

Isn't this steel plant too abrupt? Why did it come out suddenly? How long has the American New Tang Empire been established?

In fact, it is not abrupt at all, because this steel factory was originally under construction!

Yes, this is something that was originally going to be built in California, but now it is cheaper.

People in California are not fools themselves. They have actually seen the problem in California, which is because of the gold rush. So Californians are actually thinking about how to keep prosperity, that is, sustainable development in the 19th century.

You should know that gold mines are still used to rush out gold, that is, to use water to wash out mud and sand, and then find natural gold particles. This has no technical content at all. Oh no, it also has technical content. After we Chinese came to California, we used a very good method to use the water conservancy system in our hometown to rush gold. So...

"You will never find any gold that is stuck between the teeth in the place you have been hunted by Chinese people." This is what was passed down at that time and it was also the earliest motivation for anti-Chinese.

Our compatriots are indeed very good at working...

However, it is definitely not possible to do this and it cannot last long. Therefore, we need to further improve our technology, such as smelting.

Yes, if you can't buy it, then we can just smel the sand. Moreover, California is very rich in minerals, such as coal, iron, magnesium... In fact, generally, places with gold mines have this characteristic, and minerals are rich.

Then we will naturally develop the smelting industry, and steelmaking and ironmaking are also included.

In the past, it was all small workshops, so California also had to do big things!

The No. 1 steel plant in the New Tang Empire in the United States has actually been built for several years. But you should know that it is not easy to build a steel plant this year. It is very difficult to choose a site. Fortunately, California has unique geographical advantages. It is a little north between San Francisco and Sacramento. There is a lake, and there are also coal mines and iron ores. These are all necessary conditions for building a steel plant at this time.

Most of the steel mills in this era were blast furnaces. This technology is actually very old, but it has been improved to be very modern. Of course, this is the modernization in Li Mengyang's eyes, but in his eyes, this is not enough!

Of course not enough. He was a man from an old industrial base, even a liberal arts student has seen too many people.

This is not enough to make steel!

We want to do this...

Anyway, Li Mengyang said everything he had seen. As a result, Thomson, who was in charge of the reconstruction of the steel plant, looked at him like an alien.

In fact, during this period of time, the steel industry has developed greatly, but this is from a world perspective. First of all, the best development and the most awesome in the world must be the UK. Thomson said very proudly.

"Our British Empire produces 3.8 million tons of steel annually! It is twice the sum of the United States, Germany and France!"

You really don't know that the old imperialist country is indeed very powerful, and it is indeed enough for Thomson to be awesome, even though he is an Irish person.

But after hearing what Li Mengyang said, Thomson was still shocked.

Add lime and oxygen to steelmaking... all of these things are known, Thomson understands them, but.

"We are going to set up a separate lime factory!"

“Single oxygen production workshop!”

“Single…”

Thomson swears to God, he has never heard of these things!

Of course, Thomson could not have heard of it, because Li Mengyang talked about the industrial division of labor in later generations. The reason why industry progressed was manifested in the division of labor. The finer the division of labor, the higher the productivity.

To put it bluntly, Li Mengyang didn’t know the specific requirements for these division of labor, but he had just read these things. In his understanding, it was right to do this!

In other words, the technology in the whole world has not yet developed to that level, but if we develop this appearance first, what will the result be?

Force technological progress!

Yes, it was this result. Although Thomson had never seen the things Li Mengyang described, he deeply understood that doing so was right, and doing so would definitely improve the yield and quality of steel!

So why don’t we make that way?

Our great scientists will naturally work hard!

So, half a year after the founding of the New Tang Empire in the United States, the First Steel Plant finally released the first furnace of pig iron!

It can be said that this speed is very fast, and everyone is united, because our Emperor Majesty said it.

“Industry is the future of our empire!”

Why did Li Mengyang develop industry so persistently?

Isn’t California’s empire blocked now? Then should we vigorously develop agriculture?

Agriculture naturally needs to develop, but the production and construction corps has been established. In fact, just like the United States, the most advantageous condition in this new world is that agriculture is too fucking easy to develop!

There are uncultivated land everywhere, and most of it is very fat. Basically, if you are not a particularly lazy person, you will not be able to starve to death.

So why did California have such a shortage of supplies before?

This is really a good luck for Li Mengyang!

In fact, just before, California had already begun to transform. That is, they also saw that gold digging could not last long. Some people developed smelting industry. Others were developing agriculture. Otherwise, why would the city run away to the countryside? But...

To be honest, if it were one or two years later, Li Mengyang would never have been able to use the previous method to defeat California, because they would not have been short of food at that time!

Li Mengyang really didn't know that in later generations, California was the most developed state in the United States. However, the California that Li Mengyang knew, which was the era in which he lived, California's agriculture was very bad, but it had not yet risen. Even because of excessive hunting, North American bison left around California!

This may be really God's will. This guy Li Mengyang should be the emperor!

In this way, agriculture is easy to get started. The difficulty lies in dealing with those bandits, but now it is the production and construction corps. And it is mainly the soldiers of Chinese workers. On the one hand, they are adapted to the battlefield, train troops, and on the other hand, they develop agriculture.

Grab both hands, both hands must be hard!

Of course, although agriculture seems easier, we should propose some scientific fertilization and scientific farming... Well, these are all slogans created by Li Mengyang. As for how scientific methods... he really doesn't know that the liberal arts students who have never farmed the land were despised by people when they were in Kansas. Alas~

Then what can these steels do? The annual output is 100,000 tons!

The current annual steel production in the United States is 840,000 tons, and 100,000 tons is not a small number. What kind of battleship proposed by Li Mengyang is not sure when it will be done. Now it is out every day. What should I do?

In fact, Li Mengyang had already thought about it!

Make guns and cannons!

As for where to sell, the first customer had already been there, which was Cespedes. The Cuban people are now fighting desperately with the Spanish rulers!

Well, these independent guys are actually Spanish, but at least they need guns.

Moreover, Li Mengyang also heard that Cespedes was amazing. He prepared a sum of money to support the opposition in New Granada now, but as a result, Cespedes himself intercepted a lot!

He is a big deal!

Although he was angry about this matter, Li Mengyang was still calm. The Cuban independence fighters said that they would pay interest, so... we just sell the weapons to them!

Don’t underestimate this economic action. It’s equivalent to having a loan to ask them to buy weapons, and they are still buying weapons they produce themselves. This is just to stimulate the economic development of their own country. Isn’t this trick in the future China?

Huge interests were placed in front of him, and Li Mengyang said... This Cuba is not enough to be stuck in his teeth!

Yes, it's too small. For now, the guns eliminated by the Revolutionary Army meet the needs of Cuban independence fighters...

Eliminate? Second-hand goods?!

Yes, it’s naturally a second-hand product. This matter is indeed a bit unauthorized, but Li Mengyang knew very well that the United States would do this in the future. Other people’s planes, fighter jets, etc., were sold abroad as second-hand products!

What we sell is just guns, small businesses, much more conscientious than the United States...

Well, let’s not talk about cheating the Cuban people anymore. This is simply outrageous. What about other markets? Are there any big buyers who have built guns?

In fact, Li Mengyang has already arranged this matter. One of his special envoys is already on the ship. Now...

"His Majesty!"

After taking the photo, after Liszt looked at Li Mengyang's paintings very carefully, the guy's eyes were filled with tears again!

"..." What's wrong with this?

"I said, don't continue to flatter you guys! I really can't stand it anymore!" Elena couldn't stand it anymore. She really hated Liszt.

However, Liszt didn't care about so many things at all, and he just heard him say, "Your Majesty, your paintings are really great! They have surpassed many famous artists today..."

Li Mengyang could see that this Liszt felt that "I laughed and scolded you, but I would do it for myself."

But Ilena over there was a big fight, "What is this painting? Who is like this painting..." She wanted to say 'Who can't draw it?', but after all, this is her husband's painting, and she really can't draw this painting, right? So Ilena said wisely: "This painting is so abstract!"

"Abstract?" Li Mengyang's face turned red!

"..." Huang Rong and Fiona were both laughing, but!

"Abstract?! What's wrong with abstraction? Abstraction is also an image! Your Majesty is the master of abstract painting! Comrades!"

“all-hail-lee!”

“all-hail-lee!”

"..." Li Mengyang never dreamed that the "Abstract School" was born... (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
