The moment when the big copper bell in Zhongdu City rings is the moment when the national flag rises and flutters. Su Yonglin watched the flag rise high and flutters with the wind in front of the Great Square of Wanmin Hall, and his heart was filled with emotion.
In order to raise it for thirteen years.
How long will it take to protect it from falling?
Su Yonglin doesn’t know, but he knows that what he is doing is the most romantic and heroic thing that human beings can do.
Chapter 1413 Steam engine
After the third big cleaning, Su Yonglin still has a lot of things to do.
In addition to politics, he also needs to spare some time to invest in the technical department to note how far the technicians have progressed in tackling the technology he expects.
At present, China’s technical departments have successfully realized the technical difficulties of coking, steelmaking and firearms manufacturing, and there are many other technical problems.
For example, Su Yonglin wants them to study real steam engines.
Hongwu’s nine-year-old steam engine is definitely not without market. If it is successfully developed, it can be put into the market. This advanced machine, steam engine, will be used in a large number of mining fields in China in a short time.
The steam engine first helped miners to drain underground water in mines.
However, when the demand for coal in the domestic market soared because of the imperial court’s promotion of coal daily raw materials movement, more and more coal mining mines appeared.
A large number of coal mines have appeared in China, and a large number of jobs have been created. In the main producing areas of coal mines, a considerable number of rural surplus laborers have left the land and entered the workshop to choose a worker, and the number of working class has been expanded.
The larger the working class, the more urgent the demand for industrial production technology. Once there is a breakthrough, industrial technology will be put into production as soon as possible.
With the development and excavation of mineral deposits, the coal mine work area is naturally more and more in-depth, and once it is in-depth, it will face the problem of mine water.
In some extremely dangerous situations, water may even threaten the lives of workers.
Faced with these problems, there are no more advanced production tools to help coal miners and managers use their brains to find ways to drain water by manpower and animal power.
Due to the difficulty of drainage, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also granted them a pulley block at their request to help them save effort.
Pulley drainage is now the mainstream drainage method in many mining areas, which has a certain significance and improved production efficiency.
However, compared with the large-scale water, whether it is human or animal, even if the pulley block displacement is added, it still seems to be a drop in the bucket.
When the coal mine is faced with groundwater interference, the mining workshop often needs to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to drain water, which will lead to a decrease in production efficiency and a great increase in production. It is difficult to continue to fight because of the increase in market coal production and price.
Sometimes, due to practical reasons, many coal mines have to give up some mining areas with too much groundwater and choose to develop other mining areas.
This will also cause a certain wave of resources.
In this case, Su Yonglin thinks it should be very meaningful to launch the steam pump at the right time. One thing will be welcomed by the miners. If the steam pump is realized, the threshold of the industrial age will be close at hand for China.
The principle of steam engine operation is very simple, and it is not difficult to do it. The technicians of the Ministry of Industry have built a one-person study steam engine, and the principle of steam engine operation has been realized, so that water pumping can be realized.
Through steam and filling and condensation, Su Yonglin witnessed the scene that this steam engine drained a cylinder of water, which gave Su Yonglin a sense of consternation and excitement that transcended the times and went against the sky.
To tell the truth, compared with the amount of water in the mining area, this steam engine is like a child scooping water from a gourd river.
The small pumping capacity and the limited realization conditions make this steam engine have no market value, and it must continue to improve until it has market value.
However, the realization of the principle makes Su Yonglin particularly excited, because they have found the right direction, so they will put a lot of energy into continuous improvement and the day of success will surely come.
With the first success, more success will follow, and the production state of the whole country will change greatly.
In order to realize the steam pump, Su Yonglin invested millions of money and gave it to the technicians of the Ministry of Industry to give a green light to their demand for raw materials, but the progress is still limited so far.
At the end of October, Su Yonglin inspected the Ministry of Engineering, especially to see the progress of the steam turbine, and found that they had made a series of improvements for the steam pump, which was twice as efficient as the original steam pump.
However, it still has no market value, and it is easy to be damaged, and it is not difficult to operate. For the generally deep mines, it is still difficult to go deep and needs to be improved.
The members of the working group are very depressed and feel that they are sorry for Su Yonglin’s contribution and such strong financial support.
Many departments need money only after the approval of the Ministry of Finance, but when the scientific research department of the Ministry of Industry needs money, someone will send it to them almost at noon to give them the green light.
Faced with such preferential treatment and attention to these technicians who have mastered the most advanced technology at present, they feel very sad that they can’t give corresponding results.
Su Yonglin can continue to encourage them to tell them that the development of science and technology is not achieved overnight, so don’t worry, let them develop steam engines in a bigger, faster and stronger direction, and let this new power equipment bring a better day to Dalian.
Look at that steam pump that can pump water, Su Yonglin see that it is full of hope for the future.
Hongwu nine years in October this is the beginning of everything.
Su Yonglin has no doubt that these excellent technicians can finally break through various restrictions and successfully manufacture steam engines with market value, and will continue to invest a lot.
He hope that this time in 2008, a miner’s friend, who is more friendly to miners, can be put into the mining workshop, and the real leap in productivity will bring dawn.
Su Yonglin received two messages when the cold wind began to blow recklessly.
The first is that Dali sent tribute.
The second is that the country of Hua La Mo sent people to pay tribute.
It was Su Yonglin’s expectation that Dali sent someone to pay tribute.
It is a matter of course for Dali to pay tribute and find out the big card because Su Haisheng led the army and Xu Tongzheng built and trained the Chinese First Corps.
But what does it mean that the flower thorn model country comes to pay tribute?
According to the report of the secret agent of Tianwang Army who returned from "doing business" in West Liao, Su Yonglin learned that Hua La model country was in the west of West Liao.
The western territory of Western Liao Dynasty has expanded to Central Asia, which has exerted great pressure on countries such as Abbasid Dynasty and Gul Dynasty, and Central Asia has great influence.
The flower thorn mold country is also born there, which is separated by thousands of waters in Qian Shan.
This country can’t be said to have a close relationship with the big country, but it can also be said to be a history of exchanges. There has been nothing since the Tang Dynasty. It’s been three or five hundred years. What are they doing here to pay tribute at this time?
Just a gift or …
Hope to launch a military attack on western Liao?
Are there many quarrels in Huamao and Xiliao?
Su Yonglin has some ideas about this.
Then he announced that he would meet with the envoys of Dali and have a talk with them before meeting with the envoys of Hua La Mo.
Chapter 1414 Tribute to Dali
The representative of Dali’s emissary is Gao Zhen, who is said to be the younger brother of Dali’s family. Dali has a lot of status.
At present, the Gao family can be said to be the Cao Shi family in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Sima family in the late Cao Wei Dynasty, and the Duan emperor is more like a mascot
It is quite normal that the big "tribute" person is the brother of the Gao family, and Su Yonglin did not feel anything wrong.
Or maybe they didn’t send someone here until now, but it seems a little slow. If they want to send someone here, they should send someone here after the country wiped out Shu, Song and Zheng.
However, since they are here, it means that they don’t simply regard the enemy as the enemy and want to solve the problem through diplomatic means, or they lose the idea of confronting the big armed forces after realizing the great military strength.
Su Yonglin felt that it was very likely that they sent someone here at this time to learn that he had won a great victory in South Vietnam and turned South Vietnam into an Annan Special Administrative Region.
It is not without support that Dali dared to put on a non-violent attitude in front of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Although they were effective, their predecessor, Nanzhao State, defeated the powerful Tang Jun and Tang Jun twice. They suffered two defeats here and suffered heavy losses, which was a disgrace.
However, Nanzhao, after all, was a place where a small country’s national strength was weak and it was impossible to confront a big country for a long time. Generally speaking, it was also a war and peace, and this attitude continued into the Dali period.
Zhao Kuangyin learned the lesson of Tang Jun’s two army annihilations when he went south. After the Dadu River boundary gave up taking Dali, the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties were always wary of Dali, and the communication between the two sides was very limited.
This also led to the fact that the official doctrine of Buddhism, rather than Confucianism, never took root in Dali.
When Meng Yuan ruled Yunnan and built a Confucius Temple there, Dali people called Confucius "Han Buddha" a stranger and didn’t understand it.
Compared with the vigilant communication between the North and South Song Dynasties, Dali always maintained a friendly communication attitude towards the Song Dynasty, and sent envoys to pay tribute many times and requested the conferment, which won the title of Yunnan Province and Dali King. It can also be regarded as a vassal country in the Southern Song Dynasty.
After the Southern Song Dynasty was wiped out, the Dali Kingdom also lost its legal state. It is the best choice to continue and establish a vassal state.
Su Yonglin doesn’t know whether Dali holds the same attitude of vigilance as the Lee Dynasty in South Vietnam, but he knows more clearly that these small countries really have no choice, no matter what kind of country they are, no matter how revolutionary they are.
It is here that we will establish politics and armed forces at the core of East Asia, and radiate unstoppable forces around us.
Gao Zhen is tall, big, magnificent and luxuriantly dressed. Shu brocade is made from head to toe. At first glance, it is a big family. My brother was born with a golden spoon.
I have to say that Dali was a big buyer of Shu brocade before and after the war, and even during the Sichuan-Sichuan war, Dali secretly engaged in a large number of Shu brocade trips.
Su Yonglin also sent someone to reprimand Dali in particular.
At that time, they didn’t respond, but this time they came to pay tribute to Dali and sent 10 thousand Shujin tribute and 500 Dali horses with a lot of luxury such as musk and bezoar, which was obviously sincere
Since they are so sincere in looking at these gifts, Su Yonglin also wants to see them.
