The Kingdom is a big sieve in terms of information security. Wang Qi has always known it, but he just didn't take care of it and couldn't do anything about it.
The most closely related factors to information security are population strategy, people’s life stability and industrial characteristics.
There is no need to go into too much detail about the population strategy. As the kingdom reaches a population of one million after merging with Pangxun, it will form a certain size framework that can continue to absorb millions of laborers without causing underemployment.
In the process of absorbing a large number of people, it is difficult to screen them one by one.
Take the year after floating islandization as an example. In that year, including the targeted rescue of the eastern plate and the gradual population attraction of the local plate starting from Pang Xun, the population increase of the kingdom was just over 100,000. If normal work and commercial entry and exit are included, It can reach 300,000 people.
The workload of counterintelligence work against 300,000 people is very large, because it is almost impossible for professionally trained spies to obtain effective information without staying with them for several days.
A counterintelligence team, which can handle up to three to five people at the same time, may not be able to let one person cross the border a day on average. It would require at least nearly 10,000 people to form an effective border counterintelligence capability, not including internal ones.
Within the territory, counterintelligence work will bring great inconvenience to people's lives, and it can easily be artificially expanded, leading to the privileges of relevant personnel, the abuse of espionage crimes, etc. It's actually the same externally, but it's more serious internally.
Industrial characteristics have already been introduced. After the industry passes the basic period, the development process gradually increases the mental requirements, which will inevitably lead to some basic industry knowledge being transferred to schools to reduce the training burden of business units.
Under the premise that it is difficult to expand border and domestic counterintelligence work, the characteristics of industry determine that as long as foreigners want to inquire about it, they cannot hide many things.
If you can't control it, if you want to be more open-minded, there is actually no need to hide it.
As the industry develops, the main contradictions focus on the two projects of materials science and processing accuracy. Even if you know how to do these two projects, you can only pile up money and people and wait slowly.
Take Phoenix Steel as an example.
The original Phoenix Iron and Steel Factory, which is the first iron factory located next to the Phoenix Railway Station, after becoming a floating island, except for crude steel and military solid ammunition commissions, it no longer does general production work and is only responsible for material research and development.
Their method of developing materials is exhaustive.
It is divided into three levels: furnace mouth, heat treatment and forging and rolling process.
As for the furnace mouth, the earliest No. 1 furnace has been dismantled and rebuilt, and has been changed into many smaller electric furnaces, specializing in the study of proportions.
For each formula, in the heat treatment department, there will be air cooling, water quenching, oil quenching, chemical quenching, nitrogen protection and stabilization, etc. It also needs to distinguish between ingot type and plate type. There will be dozens of basic heat treatment modes in total.
After that, the material properties will be tested. Only those with certain directional or multi-faceted advantages will enter the next step to study the corresponding cold rolling and hot rolling processes.
Then through inquiring, the spy learned that the ratio of a certain type of steel is 6 iron, 2 chromium, 0.5 each of copper, titanium and manganese, and 0.25 each of nickel and cobalt. Can he restore the final performance of Phoenix Steel?
The answer is very difficult.
The workers who handle the subsequent process do not know the material ratio, and they cannot match the heat treatment method with the steel number. Of course they can do it on site, but once they leave the site, who will remember a text plus a four-digit code and the corresponding heat treatment . This information is difficult to leak. Once the quenching method is other than air cooling and water cooling, the information obtainer can only use exhaustive experiments.
... Even before we get to the quenching part, we must first ensure that the furnace temperature control capabilities are similar. Some materials will show great differences in physical properties if the processing temperature differs by ten degrees.
Many things are similar, because the characteristics of industrial division of labor determine that it is difficult for workers to master all the information about a material, and it is actually impossible for spies to directly obtain complete sets of material documents.
In addition, the Kingdom now has a certain amount of smelting. In order of output, there are more than ten kinds of iron, aluminum, copper, tin, lead, titanium, manganese, chromium, tungsten, zinc, nickel, gold, cobalt, etc., among which cobalt is not even mentioned. Production, but there has indeed been a breakthrough. Several active metal elements such as lithium, sodium, magnesium and potassium are still in the early stage of mass production research.
There are also calcium, rubidium, palladium, molybdenum, and rare earth oxides that are currently mainly researched and provided in trace amounts by various alchemy studios.
With so many basic elements, the metal materials that can be composed can be said to be endless. Even if one or two materials are learned, it will not affect the overall situation.
If the exhaustive method can be used outside, and materials with advantages in certain directions can be found by chance, then the processing accuracy can only rely on the accumulation of skills and finding improvement methods in actual use.
When Xincheng Heavy Industry was separated from the Manufacturing Bureau, Wang Qi pointed out that the only important task of Heavy Industry was to improve its own processing accuracy, and the production equipment was incidental.
Heavy industry can now process cylindrical workpieces with a diameter of less than five centimeters with an accuracy of 3 microns, crankshafts with a diameter of less than ten centimeters with an accuracy of 10 microns, and large shafts for steam turbines with an accuracy of 80 microns. This is achieved by thousands of workers and projects. The results of more than ten years of membership, including a lot of magic-based help.
However, heavy industry cannot even replicate its processing accuracy to automobile factories.
The reason is also very simple, because the accuracy is not determined only by the machine itself.
Regardless of the equipment itself, there are two major factors that affect accuracy, assembly and foundation.
For example, a basic shaft-driven lathe is placed in a heavy industry because the entire atmosphere is about pursuing precision. When workers feel that the accuracy of the equipment they use is lower than that of the next door, they will find a solution on their own or find someone in the factory to help. Over time, it may After two years of use, the accuracy is much higher than when it was first launched. The difference may be only one or two microns, but it is still higher, even higher than the average and there is an additional bonus.
Machines assembled in other places cannot have this condition. The accuracy of floor-mounted assembly is basically the highest accuracy and will only decrease year by year.
In terms of foundations, Xincheng Heavy Industry has tasted the benefits of the workshop that processes steam turbine bearings, and has updated each factory building into an oil floating workshop year by year. There is an oil film between the floor and the earth, which may be only a dozen molecules thick, but its shock-absorbing effect can indeed effectively improve accuracy.
But the cost of such a factory is outrageous.
Generally, the construction cost of a three-story factory building with an internal area of 20,000 square meters, including power distribution, oil and water supply lines, sewage lines, etc., is about 1.2 million. Construction companies can also build it as cheap as 600,000.
The entire foundation shape of the oil floating workshop is different. The oil itself needs to be laid with steel plates to prevent leakage. Some pipelines require special free displacement interfaces. The cost per unit area is about three to four times that of a normal factory. In addition to being able to bring If the accuracy is improved to a certain extent, the rest will be trouble and a lot of maintenance and repair work will be done for nothing.
Of course, if the car factory really wants to build an oil-flooding workshop, it's not because they can't find the money. They can apply for a subsidy from the Ministry of Industry. However, the nature of the car factory's products means that there is no benefit to them if they change it. The money is not worth the money.
The difficulty of improving processing accuracy, the impact of many details, and the lack of input-output ratio all determine that all late-comer companies in the world cannot skip the accumulation step and reach the point of micron-level precision.
It also means that the accuracy of the output equipment of the post-production plant is difficult to catch up with Xincheng Heavy Industry, resulting in an indelible accuracy gap in the entire industry chain. This is a road with no shortcuts. Only by investing more money, manpower, and time can we Have some thoughts.
Phoenix Steel and Xincheng Heavy Industry are the real kings in Wang Qi's hands. People who have not been baptized by industry may not even realize this. They may still think that Xincheng Heavy Industry is just a government-controlled machinery factory, so there is no competition.
Regarding the threat of spies, as long as the security work of key enterprises is done well, the loss of other details of intelligence is not important at all. The spread of industrial production capacity is also what Wang Qi wants to promote. Spies' actions in this area are even helping to work for free.
At present, Wang Qi is more concerned about the disappearance of the southern world gate.
The abnormal situation where a certain plate in the south was connected to the main world only lasted for a few months and then disappeared, leaving a mess behind.
