This time, we are worrying about overseas affairs and have nothing to do with the departments that have already delegated power.
The kingdom has gradually opened up aircraft, artificial gemstones, magic adsorption devices, as well as some secondary industries and equipment launched at the exhibition some time ago.
However, limited by the kingdom's own production capacity, transportation capacity and the reduction of overseas precious metal currency stocks, the efficiency of this productivity output is not high.
Find a summary of relevant overseas development reports.
These things are provided by foreign-related enterprises. There is no mandatory task, but they can be tax deducted, and they are also beneficial to the development of the enterprise itself.
Judging from the report summary, it can be found that even within a range of less than 300 kilometers from Pangxun, which is the distance between two floating islands, the original productivity promotion actions have only benefited a very small number of people.
Take Pilates, for example, in a region where diplomacy is currently focusing its efforts.
Pilates is located due east of the Pangxun Plate and is the largest city on the floating island. Its name means "flat". After being transformed into a floating island, there is still a tributary of the Luna River with a relatively small flow. It flows through, and the original Luna River bed also retains a larger lake area here.
Pilates has excellent basic conditions in a big city, and water conservancy factors have also attracted more and more surrounding people after becoming a floating island. Its population size has probably exceeded 500,000.
From a strategic level, Pilates Floating Island is also an important barrier to protect the Pangxun plate. Pang Xun is not that dangerous, but the Quagmire City area is still outside the country, and as an oil-producing area that already has certain large-scale and low-standard production experience, the scope of influence is even larger than the kingdom itself.
In order to exert the power of the barrier, instead of being overwhelmed by the demons, Pilates needs to be more powerful, so powerful that even if the rest of the entire floating island is bulldozed, it can still be used as a nail to bite the enemy's butt.
Influenced by the promotion of previous trade fairs, Pilates has also recently established its own textile industry. The total number of employees in the initial stage was barely over a thousand, and more than half of the employees were not civilians, and most of them were related households and original gray production personnel.
It is probably because he did not dare to expand too much at the beginning of the industry's development, but in terms of product sales, it went against the original intention of promoting productivity.
The local sales price of the fabrics produced by this textile factory is slightly more expensive than the handmade fabrics circulating on the market. This means that the public has not obtained cheaper fabrics due to increased productivity.
Of course, there are always two sides to everything. The shipping price of fabrics sold by this textile factory in other sectors is indeed much lower than the price of handmade fabrics. But this is not a discovery of conscience, but he is not the only one who is developing textiles. Those with the ability to trade across floating islands are either human spirits or powerful mages. If they are too expensive, no one wants them.
If the timeline is extended, sooner or later the price of fabrics will fall due to competition among textile manufacturers, but it is too slow for Wang Qi and the demons.
It is necessary to increase the overall productivity in a shorter period of time to generate a larger proportion of the population in the military and construction industries. Only then can we have the opportunity to achieve the purpose of strengthening military capabilities before the demons take more and larger-scale actions. .
...Buying a gun directly can be regarded as strengthening, but it is too narrow, and it is difficult to carry out long-term operations in the face of the quantity and quality of the demon army.
Just like the kingdom itself, the kingdom can support more than 20% of the total population in the military, public affairs, education, and police. The root cause is productivity. Without strong enough productivity to save people from the repetitive daily routine of digging for food, a population base of one million cannot support the frequent operations of 20,000 troops... The opening of the sacred tree to produce sugar is also a key point, but it can also be classified as Productivity.
The situation Pilates has to face is that there are some scattered little devils nesting around it. Although there are some volunteer professionals to clean it up, more than half of it is already festering to the east. The entire maintenance system is very fragile, and its eastern part is floating. The island may be transformed into a high-density area of demons similar to the northern area at any time.
Thinking on the bright side, at least they don't have to face a stable world channel where demons are constantly pouring out. Unless there is a big move in the northern area, the number of local demons will not change suddenly.
Wang Qi doesn't like to look at the enemy's eyes to decide whether to survive, so he must take the initiative to accelerate productivity progress.
The way he thought of it was something he had considered a long time ago but had not built.
Wood gas engine and pot camel machine.
This thing was first considered when the railways were just beginning to be built and when hand-cranked cars were still being used. Later, a period of steam automobiles were produced, namely the pot camel machine.
He planned to give these two away for free to completely replace animal power.
The animal power is not weak, and there are some special breeds of animal power in the penal colony that can go without food for many days.
But not eating only delays the demand. The animals still need to be cared for by people, and work such as mowing and cleaning must not be careless.
Vehicles are different. Even if it is a wood gas engine, it is not a big problem if it reaches 10 to 20 horsepower. The traction itself has already put aside non-Warcraft animal power, and the endurance is even worse than that of other animals, but the reliability will be a little bit " "little" question.
I have never made a wood gas engine, but this thing is too simple. It was made by a Frenchman in the pre-industrial era. Kingdom Diesel Engine has produced and developed many versions of its strength. When I go back to make this thing, engineers will have to do it. No more than three.
It consists of two parts: internal combustion engine and wood gas device.
The form of the internal combustion engine is similar to that of an internal combustion engine burning natural gas. With the power provided by wood gas, it can be adjusted with a single-cylinder or double-cylinder engine from an overseas copycat. The change in air pressure caused by the detonation of wood gas is small, and the main adjustment is related to various mechanics.
The wood gas installation does not even need to be made. The instructions come with the engine and the blacksmith can do it himself. Specifically, it is a large combustion barrel that burns wood, with a water tank hanging next to it. It sprays water to produce a larger proportion of carbon monoxide than normal incomplete combustion. It is filtered by a filter, usually a water tank, and then passed into the internal combustion engine.
The advantage is that the fuel is firewood, and there is no need to rely on the existing air transportation system for refined oil, which greatly ensures that the cost of use can be widely spread.
In addition, its internal combustion engine does not need to consider high horsepower and does not occupy transportation capacity. Even if the two-cylinder engine weighs 30 kilograms, including the packaging weight, Wooden Man can deliver nearly a hundred units at a time, and all of them are borne by the local internal combustion engine copycat factory's own transportation capacity. .
The disadvantage is that in a moving vehicle, the purity and flux of the wood gas generated will fluctuate greatly, and the internal combustion will stall if the vehicle does not move.
Fortunately, the problem is simple enough and requires no maintenance experience. Just re-burn the furnace and try to start it up.
The pot camel machine is relatively bloated. It is a mature piston steam engine. It is a big lump once it is built, and it is not suitable for off-site production and air transportation. However, the threshold for steam engines is always a little lower, and the blacksmith himself is skilled enough. It can also be made usable.
Although the camel machine made by the blacksmith may be less reliable than the wood gas engine, it is after all a way to replace animal power locally without relying on transportation capacity.
In short, under the premise that the increase in air transportation capacity is limited and the price of air transportation of refined oil cannot be democratized in a short time, wood gas and pot camel machines can be regarded as the fastest things to change the world.
I just don’t know if anyone wants it.
