As the victim of counterfeiting, Wang Qi hopes that Fatel can imitate it.
Approving the export of aircraft, the originally planned maximum profit method is Fatel. After suffering several rounds of disasters, Fatel's population is still about 40 million, which is much larger than the Phoenix Kingdom. It should be a good place to fight against the demons. The main force of expansion.
Compared with Fatel, Wengji's population before the disaster was only one-third of Fatel, and the rest of the population, such as the Snow Mountain King of the South, could not even reach tens of millions.
From the perspective of its own interests, the manufacturer is unwilling to sell to a fatel whose currency fluctuates too much, but with the size of others, the small lord will still be afraid even if there is a divine punishment between the floating islands, so the manufacturer's attitude is not Stop Fatal from getting the Wooden Man Plane.
Technically, Fatel is still struggling with whether to use forging or casting for a single-cylinder engine. It seems like a step too far to jump directly to a replica aircraft.
But this kind of thing is not something that Wang Qi can decide. If the progress of the floating island can be moved back for more than ten years, so that the railway and the steam locomotives sold in the past can fully play their role, Fatel will definitely have a certain industrial foundation.
Now that the weather is unsatisfactory, we can only let the Fatel people overcome some difficulties.
As for the technology of artificial gemstones, Wang Qi also intends to further liberalize it, but he has concerns.
Wang Qi believed that the Phoenix Kingdom still had certain system advantages and would not fall into a passive position just because the ratio of one or two materials and the production process were leaked.
But sapphire made of aluminum oxide crystals is different. This thing is a magic energy storage material in this universe, which means that it can easily be made into something similar to a bomb, and its power will be outrageous.
Another problem is the difference in underlying rules, which causes the alumina to form a polycrystalline polymeric structure at temperatures below its melting point.
When the Kingdom was not a Kingdom at first, the artificial gems produced were mainly polycrystalline structures. The characteristic is that after polishing into a square shape, faults and dislocations can be seen through the impact of objects on the opposite side.
It was not until the tungsten electric furnace was developed that the melting point of alpha alumina was exceeded, and a large single crystal was produced.
Wang Qi's knowledge from his previous life told him that what is formed below the melting point should be powdered crystals, which is the so-called corundum, a material used for sandblasting and rust removal.
This difference is most likely a condensed matter phenomenon with local characteristics brought about by differences in basic particles.
Condensed matter physics is a branch of physics. Solids and liquids are basic condensed matter. In the future, we will study things like superliquid and superconducting states. After adding quantum mechanics, we will start to compete for the work of particle physics.
In short, polycrystalline polymerization below the melting point is not a good phenomenon. Wang Qi has not let go of the artificial gemstone process for so many years because he feels that the threshold is too low. It can be prepared with ceramic experimental vessels and is easy to overrun.
We don’t make money from artificial gemstones, but it would be really difficult for outsiders to use them to make bombs. After all, it is impossible to confiscate gemstones at the border.
It's just that recently there are signs of demons overflowing at a certain distance in the Eastern District. If we don't push back and allow a certain defensive force to be established outside the country, there is a high probability that we will be attacked from both sides in the future.
Airplanes can bring mobility to combatants, and cheap gems can effectively improve the combat effectiveness of mages.
But what about the bomb problem?
The kingdom's industries are all high-tech and large-capital integrated. The loss of money can be subsidized, but it is a trivial matter. What is distressing is the loss of technical personnel. If a factory is hit by a magic bomb a few times, it will not be able to recover for several years.
Very difficult.
We can only make a table, score various positive and negative effects, and decide whether to do it or not.
Positive effects:
First, it can effectively increase the force value of the entire penal colony. There is a cheap and sufficient supply of gems. Even if the area is defeated, more people can survive. In the context of the entire Three Realms War, only those who survive have a chance to make a comeback. This score is extremely high, calculated as 10 points.
Second, the area to the south of the kingdom and the adjacent areas to the east can concentrate the combat power that has escaped from the eastern area to achieve a certain defensive intensity. This is very important to the family, and its influence on the entire penal colony is very low in proportion to the population, but the butt determines the head, so it counts as 5 points.
Third, forming a suitable buffer zone will help the kingdom maintain a low military force ratio and maintain the speed of industrial upgrading as the population increases. Not being surrounded by demons will also help people stabilize their mentality and live and work normally. Same as above, and since the family is the driving force for technological progress in the entire penal colony, add 2 points.
Fourth, the magic value of the mage itself is actually not high. Cheap magic gems may bring new learning ideas and may expand the mage group. But this cannot be confirmed, I can only say that it is possible, 1 point.
Fifth, breaking away from the low-end artificial gemstone business can release a certain amount of labor, but the relevant personnel still need to produce single crystal gemstones, so only a few hundred people can be squeezed out, 0 points.
Negative effects:
First, the plummeting cost of magic bombs may evolve into conventional means of retaliation and competition, causing panic and stagnation of some technologies, and even causing a single industrial chain to completely stop.
There is a possibility that haters will take this opportunity to summon a giant dragon or something. If you are unprepared, the threat of such a thing is probably no worse than that of the demons wreaking havoc. In fact, it can be regarded as strengthening the power of the demons, so it will be deducted a lot of points.
Key enterprises are required to enhance security; those who use magic bombs to damage industrial equipment and injure innocent people will be convicted together, and additional overseas pursuits will be carried out; and smaller backups will be made for some industries.
The damage caused by cheap magic bombs has to be borne by the entire exile. Wang Qi's response can only reduce the damage to his own family... However, overseas industries are indeed not very technology-intensive. The impact of a bomb explosion is very low, of course it will be more or less. Influence the willingness to invest on a large scale.
Comprehensive calculation, negative 9 points.
Second, the popularity of cheap magic gems may lead to the emergence of some inexplicable magic-based competing products overseas, squeezing the product market of domestic companies. However, with the current overall floating island situation, the market is not the problem. The problem is the accumulation of air transportation capabilities and ground air traffic control experience, so the impact will not be too great. And if there are really people who are willing to take this opportunity to research practical magic props, it will be somewhat enhanced. War potential. It's slightly disadvantageous to the kingdom, so I'll lose 1 point.
There are several other positive and negative items, but Wang Qi feels that they do not affect the development of the overall situation, or have a certain degree of correlation and duplication, so they are all zero points.
So now it looks like it’s plus 18 points and minus 10 points. Even if Wang Qi sits up straighter, considering that the kingdom can only enhance the overall exile area by 10%, the front score will probably be 14 to 15 points.
Considering the entire penal colony, it can indeed be released.
The decisive factor here is actually the relationship between Wang Qi and the Phoenix Kingdom.
The title of ruler of the Dark Land was granted by Solaris. There are not many fully humanoid creatures in the kingdom, so Wang Qi does not regard the kingdom as important as his life. In his opinion, how to make good use of the entire penal colony? Strength is the key.
In the context of floating islands, the kingdom already has this level of influence by leveraging its first mover, knowledge, and path advantages in aircraft technology.
There's no point in dry pushing cheap gems, since mages have a limited amount of recovery per day, and using magic every day is prone to migraines.
Therefore, along with cheap gems, there is also Pang Xun’s arc-method fullerene factory. The manufacturer’s name is very catchy, called “The Source of Magic.”
The source of magic power was opened early, and Pang Xun didn't even start the naturalization process at that time, which was equivalent to an appeasement before confiscating the family's assets.
Fullerene has magic adsorption properties, but it does not have magic fluidity, which means that the produced fullerene-graphite mixture can only store magic power but cannot release it. It also needs to be subsequently processed into a black clay-like column. Only by adding a basic magic guide small part can it be adapted to the magic array.
This subsequent processing part was not given to the "Source of Magic" before and is still produced in the manufacturing bureau affiliated with the research institute.
Taking advantage of the opening of artificial gemstones this time, I put this one too.
There must also be supporting regulations to try to avoid being purchased directly by dangerous elements.
As for polycrystalline gems, take care of Elte, which is short of industry. There happens to be bauxite nearby.
