The demons ran to the east to cause trouble. Wang Qi naturally knew that the other party was driving a large number of little demons to the east. Even if the air force was dispatched, they could only harass them.
The air force is limited by the form of vehicles, and the amount of bombs dropped has always been difficult to compare with the ground forces. However, the floating island form has resulted in the ground forces being able to maintain combat effectiveness very close to each other, and at most they can reach the floating island next door.
The resulting sense of powerlessness prompted Wang Qi to make a decision to conduct a round of technology diffusion in advance to enhance the overall combat capabilities of the penal colony.
Technology diffusion is divided into two levels: manufacturing technology and finished product application.
Industrial production will have the characteristics of detailed division of labor, which will promote the comprehensive diffusion of manufacturing technology. It will be necessary to send a large number of front-line personnel to teach and practice in various positions overseas. This is not acceptable for a small country with a population of one million, especially Living conditions abroad are harsh, and not many industrial workers are willing to travel with their heads on their shoulders.
But if inferior production technology is not available, the population loss will be very large when the demon army comes back or changes its tactics.
In terms of finished product application, it would be enough to have hundreds of guns in each lord's city.
Having a gun in every household is of little use. Wang Qi's country in his previous life had already practiced this. The shooting rate in its territory was even higher than in most areas where guerrilla wars were ongoing.
Guns and artillery are more suitable for centralized use. A platoon of twenty or thirty people can be difficult to defeat even company-level troops with the same level of weapons and equipment when they have a good defensive location.
Of course, it doesn't matter what Wang Qi says if the firearms leave the country, so it's better to keep the manufacturing capabilities in your own hands. At least you can choose who to sell them to.
To sum up, it means exporting sub-level civilian production equipment and selectively exporting weapons.
Production equipment that is conducive to war is mainly machining, such as stamped armor, knives, etc.
For example, machined knife products are difficult to compare with hand-forged knives, because hand-forging can use low-carbon steel for the back of the knife and high-carbon steel for the blade, and make them well combined together, so that the entire blade surface can be used. There will be fewer breaks. Machine processing will be more regular. To achieve an effect similar to manual forging, the production line will become extremely complicated and the threshold is too high.
But even if the machined weapons are slightly inferior, at least the cost can be low enough.
The effect of machine processing on armor is better, mainly due to the fact that the arc surface formed by stamping is sufficiently uniform. With the same materials, machined armor will have a higher bullet grazing rate... This is to defend against physical proximity attacks.
Next is the loom. For war, cloth is a very important material. From the infantry's marching ability to medical support, cloth plays an important role.
The area around the Phoenix Kingdom originally had a tropical climate, but I don't know how to define it now, at least the temperature has not dropped too much. Cloth's thermal properties are of limited use, but considering the effects of large-scale magic, it's always useful to have more cloth.
Weaving looms should be promoted, but there are obstacles in the way.
There must have been more than one or two people of the second generation in the territory who had seen textile factories in the wasteland, so after the gradual spread of electrical equipment in the territory, serious looms soon appeared. ….
There is another step before weaving, which is spinning, and this step is very local.
When the kingdom was not a kingdom at the earliest, the main source of material for hand-woven textiles was the special fiber produced by early juice trees.
Wang Qi was also a layman, so he just tried to mess around with it. After changing it a few times, it didn't change much. I guess it was probably like linen or ramie, slightly softer.
This resulted in the spinning machines in the country being copied and improved based on the properties of this material. Up to now, there are three main types of spindles produced in the country.
One is simple sacred tree fiber yarn, which is better than the legendary ancient coarse cloth. It can only be worn close to the body without causing skin chafing.
The second type is mixed with cashmere or wool imported from Wengji. The texture is more like the work clothes cloth of the industrial era. To be honest, it is not as good as the cloth produced by pure cashmere non-woven technology.
The last type is Erte's spindles. Erte produced cloth before it was close to the kingdom. Relevant personnel were allowed to visit during the administrative reform.
The textile workshop was based on local materials there and took a year or two to modify.
The raw material of Elte's spinning machine is...bark, and the entire processing process is somewhat similar to paper making. Surprisingly, the texture of the fabric finally made from this bark fiber is a little more delicate than that of Phoenix.
In short, the obstacle to the promotion of looms was that there was no universal spinning fiber similar to cotton in the penal colonies.
Depending on the fiber, the strength and density of the spinning machine will be different. Forcibly using other materials will only cause broken threads all over the floor.
It is impossible for Wang Qi to plant trees outside the country, but to popularize Erte's gauze trees, the time span would be too long.
The reconnaissance plane detected a cluster of demon ground troops in the east, urging Wang Qi to make a decision... Let's go to chemical fiber.

At this point in time, more than a year has passed since it helped Gold Chemical focus on the production of polyethylene materials. A few years before that, Gold Chemical already had the production capacity of butyl rubber, and there are several materials between them. There is a certain degree of similarity, and now there are results.
Polyethylene materials produced in the petroleum chain are mainly polyethylene and polypropylene.
Polyethylene is the so-called white pollution, white devil, and the source of all evil in the environmental protection industry.
Both polyethylene materials are called plastics, but if they are made into plastic bags, they can be distinguished just by their feel, without the need for eyes.
Polypropylene plastic bags have a certain degree of flexibility and have a skin-like texture when touched with the back of your hand. The surface is not prone to wrinkles and can be used repeatedly in an environment of around 100 degrees. It also has a certain degree of toughness when made into small strips and can withstand repeated bending and hundreds of thousands of presses. If it is not metal, it is mostly its modified product.
Polyethylene is one of the more common plastic bags. Its characteristic is that it is the "source of all evil". It has super anti-aging ability and will hardly change except at high temperatures.
In contrast, polypropylene will suffer from aging phenomena such as embrittlement due to improper environmental conditions, such as contact with copper screws.
These are the unmodified basic properties of the two materials. After various strange chemical preparations and temperature and pressure modulation, they will become all the plastics that normal people can see in the industrial world. They are the most common plastics on the petroleum chain. The most important link besides refined oil.
In the months before this round of technology diffusion decisions, Gold Chemical's polyolefin materials mainly served the power industry and the production of related civilian products.
Extruded plastic fibers were also developed when Xincheng Heavy Industries helped Fenggu Electric produce small-diameter enameled wires. The results were taken over by another factory to make braided seat belts...that is, the automobile factory.
This is not a real chemical fiber, it is just woven with very thin plastic threads, but it can solve the problem of lack of fiber in popular spinning. It is a purely industrial production. There is no need to wait for cash crops or trees to grow naturally. You can arrange the output according to needs. .
As for whether the clothes are comfortable or not, let's make a few pairs of drags for each person first...if you are really willing to do so. .
