Zhu Jingyuan established the principles for the content management of literary and artistic works, and the detailed terms and documents for content management specifications were handed over to the newly established Ministry of Arts and Culture to formulate.
Zhu Jingyuan finished speaking about his requests and gave overall direction instructions, and the meeting was basically over.
Supervisor Shen Fu promoted the rapid establishment of the Arts and Culture Department, and people in other aspects did not have the opportunity to be idle.
The semiconductor industry must first strive to increase production capacity, and at the same time, it must separately tackle a large number of new technologies in production processes.
Design new processors, develop new semiconductor products, and set up specialized teams.
The Networking Department continues to roll out fiber optic networks between critical institutions.
In early April, Jiangnan Shipyard sent a new report.
The Ming Dynasty's first nuclear-powered submarine, the Koi, finally completed all outfitting and testing projects and officially entered service on April 23, the sixth year of the Era.
This submarine took a total of more than five years from design to service, and more than four years from the start of construction.
It takes longer than a battleship.
The USS Nautilus, the first nuclear submarine in U.S. history, took just over two years to enter service.
Mainly because the Ming Dynasty's standards for nuclear-powered warships are much higher than other ordinary warships, and also much higher than American nuclear-powered warships in history.
The American Nautilus is an experimental battleship.
The hull of the original diesel-electric submarine was basically copied, but a nuclear reactor was installed on the traditional submarine.
The Ming Dynasty's Koi Heqing was a serious nuclear submarine, designed directly based on attack nuclear submarines.
The shape of the entire hull was redesigned, adopting the drop-shaped appearance of later mature nuclear submarines. The overall displacement is half larger than the Nautilus.
Detailed model testing and simulation calculations were conducted during the hull and reactor design stages.
The entire construction process after the start of construction and all testing links after launching are also extremely strict and careful.
After that, we can directly use this submarine as a blueprint to start building more nuclear-powered attack submarines in batches.
The Ming Navy, Ordnance Department and shipyards have also accumulated enough experience in this process, and the construction of other nuclear-powered ships can be accelerated a lot.
In the report document, the shipyard mentioned the details of the construction progress of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
Daming's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier project was launched at the end of the third year of the Dagong Period. All designs were completed at the end of the fourth year of the Dagong Period, and construction officially started at the beginning of the fifth year of the Dagong Period.
Five quarters have passed so far, and the aircraft carrier's hull shell has basically taken shape.
Under normal circumstances, it should be launched before the end of the seventh year of Dagong.
The land-based reactor with an output of 80,000 horsepower designed for the aircraft carrier also passed 3,000 hours of operation testing at the beginning of the fifth year of Dachang.
The formal reactor construction for the official aircraft carrier also officially started at the beginning of the fifth year of the construction.
If nothing unexpected happens, the project is expected to be completed in early seven years and should be able to catch up with the construction node of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
When the time came in May, another report was sent from the space base opposite the Lion City in Johor.
The first official planet-synchronous orbit communication satellite was successfully launched.
Next, four similar satellites will be launched one after another, and the preliminary communication satellite network will be completed before the end of DAG7.
Then we began to prepare for the deployment of Tianxia positioning satellites.
Good news comes one after another from all aspects, and the sixth year of the Grand Duke is obviously a harvest year.
After these pieces of important news were reported to Zhu Jingyuan and the imperial court, they were quickly spread throughout the world through radio, television, and newspapers.
After the Atlantic-Spanish War, Ming Dynasty further relaxed its control over confidential information.
Things like the commissioning of nuclear submarines can be announced to the public as soon as possible.
Because for the current Ming Dynasty, the propaganda effect of new technologies and weapons is already greater than the actual effect.
In the headquarters on the west coast of Mozhou, in the recessed bay, the entire New Germany has now become "France".
It is not called New France, nor is it French France. The official name is simply "Ming France" in Ming Dynasty.
Because the French mainland is gone, and there is no possibility of returning to it again.
Now it has become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. It is natural that like other vassal states, it will use the Chinese character "Da Ming" as its official country name.
The country name of the Great Tomorrow comes first, and after your own country name, the full name of the country is listed in the whole column.
French King Louis Charles and Queen Liu Muyu sat together in a large rocking chair in the palace that was once built by the Germans.
In the past, the two of them also had this habit of flipping through newspapers and discussing what they saw from time to time.
It's just that starting from the second half of last year, you still have to read the newspapers between the two, but the discussions have become less and less.
It's not that the relationship between the couple has deteriorated, but that they don't know what to discuss anymore.
After reading a few articles, Charles looked sideways at his wife, and said in a casual voice:
"The fake moon is an artificial moon, right?"
Liu Muyu nodded gently:
"Yes, the newspaper said that sending communication relay equipment to the sky will rotate around the ground like the moon.
“It takes at least three vacation months to achieve the most basic global communication.
"We are preparing to launch more false moons in the future to achieve positioning and tracking of important items around the world..."
Charles couldn't help but said:
"That's what the newspapers say, but I think it can send the fake moon up to the sky and keep rotating around the earth.
“Doesn’t that mean that the same weapons can be delivered to any place in the world?
"The key is that Ming Dynasty still has atomic weapons..."
Liu Muyu nodded again numbly:
"Yes, that is indeed the case, but the Ming Dynasty newspaper also said that the energy of nuclear weapons is not only used for destruction.
"A variety of atomic energy reactors have now been completed, which can continuously release energy to create steam, which can be used to propel ships or generate electricity.
"The Ming Dynasty's nuclear-powered submarine is already in service. It is said that it can have unlimited cruising range and unlimited time submersible capability."
Ciel also nodded again:
“I remember, I remember that the newspaper a while ago had a special page to introduce it.
“Nuclear-powered submarines are already in service, and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are now being built.
"But what I'm thinking about now is... maybe my original judgment was wrong..."
Liu Muyu was a little surprised:
"What judgment?"
Ciel's voice was particularly depressed as he said:
“The judgment that latecomers can catch up with first movers through hard work…
“I now feel that if the first movers do not encounter bottlenecks, their advantages may continue to accumulate.
“Then the gap with latecomers will become wider and wider.
“Actually, this situation has already emerged during the war between Thailand and Spain.
"The performance of the fighter jets eliminated by the Ming Dynasty is better than the best from the European and Western countries.
“At the same time, when the first mover has an advantage, it can also use war to forcibly interrupt the pursuit of the latecomers.
"But...but fortunately, we ourselves have become part of the Ming Dynasty.
“Our most advanced technology will also be gradually demonstrated here.
"But there's still a question, what should we do in the future?"
Liu Muyu listened to Ciel's words and recalled the things she had discussed with Ciel before the war in Spain.
Both of them basically believed in that judgment at the beginning, and felt that although it was difficult at the time, there would always be a bright future.
Now I have indeed received light, but it does not come from the fire I created, but from the sunshine of the Ming Dynasty.
In the end, Liu Muyu did not comment on her original thoughts, but asked again:
"What future? What are you still worried about?"
Charles put down the newspaper, stood up and looked around:
“The artistic level of this palace built by the Germans may not be as good as the Palace of Versailles, but it can be said that it is no less generous.
“The Germans have worked here for nearly twenty years, and now it belongs to us.
“But are we going to continue to live here in the future?
“According to what I have learned, Ming officials on the Taixi continent, as well as Ming lords enfeoffed, are demolishing Taixi buildings.
“All palaces, castles, and churches in the past are slowly turning into building materials.
“Then build pure Ming-style buildings…
“The local people in the West are changing into authentic Ming Dynasty costumes as a matter of course, and learning the Ming Dynasty language and writing as a matter of course.
“So, as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, should we continue to do such things?
"Completely dismantle the palace we live in, and even all the Thai and Western buildings in Mexico, France, into building materials."
Liu Muyu fell silent after hearing this, and then stood up from the rocking chair.
First, he looked around, at the decoration of the palace and the clothes of the servants around him.
Finally, back to myself and my husband:
"This palace should be demolished. Decades of normal use for such a large-scale fixed building is too long.
"As for other soft things, there is no need to do anything specifically. In fact, they are all what we have to do.
"Since we are a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the official language of the royal family and the court can only use the Yayan and scripts of the Ming Dynasty.
“There are a large number of Germans in this land, and if they are asked to learn Chinese writing and language, they may be less resistant than learning French.
“We are already merging with Ming Dynasty style in terms of clothes and so on, and it will gradually become difficult to distinguish them from each other in the future.
“The Ming Dynasty did not allow remote places to retain some of their own local characteristics.
"As long as the formal etiquette, clothing, writing, and language are all in accordance with the official regulations of the Ming Dynasty, it will be fine."
Charles was silent for a while after hearing this.
Charles felt that what his wife said made sense. France was already culturally integrating with the Ming Dynasty.
After the war between the West and the West, the relocation of Canada, and the chaotic process of reconstruction in Mexico, the direct impact of the Ming Dynasty will be more profound.
But this kind of truth made me feel a little sad.
Because this deep integration is obviously dominated by the Ming Dynasty, French things will become decoration and local characteristics.
Charles sighed softly:
"There may no longer be a truly traditional French culture in the future..."
Liu Muyu smiled this time:
"My dear King, your current state is that of a standard fan of the authorities.
“And as your Majesty the Queen, I still have the ability to try to stand on the sidelines and observe.
"In my opinion, the truly traditional French culture disappeared many years ago, or it has already begun to mutate...
"Not to mention this war between Europe and Spain, wasn't France affected by the Ming Dynasty before the last world war?
"How many years has it been since Ming Dynasty spread to the West? Do Western scholars call it the Enlightenment?
“Furthermore, are the clothes designed by our current Majesty, whether they are men’s clothes or women’s clothes that you think of, really the clothes of your Thai people?
"Before the World War, you Thais no longer wore high heels, right?
“Don’t you realize that the various costumes designed by His Highness are very different from those in the Louis XIV era.
“In fact, Thai and Western culture, including France, have long lost the opportunity to develop independently.
“It should be said that Thai-Western culture has never developed independently.
"The Germans, Gauls, and Slavs, before they were conquered by the Romans, should have been in a state similar to the indigenous people of Mexico, right?
“Then they adopted the Roman culture as their own.
“The religion they believe in is also the Roman religion, the calendar they use is the Roman calendar, and the alphabet they use is also the Latin alphabet.
"What did they revive during the Renaissance? The culture of the Romans that was reversed from the hands of the cannibals?
“But is Roman culture their own culture?
“The Roman calendar was obviously copied from the Egyptian solar calendar, and Roman mythology was directly copied from Greek mythology.
"Christianity was not originally Rome's own religion. Even Jesus himself was a Juggernaut. The New Testament was originally a re-creation of the Old Testament.
"Is the Old Testament original? Obviously not.
“The things above are also an integration and re-creation of Dashi and Persian folklore.
“So, according to Emperor Guangwu, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, the Bible is something of the same nature as Journey to the West.
"This kind of thing has become the most important spiritual pillar of the Thai people?
“Let’s put aside the advantages and disadvantages of these things, even these things can be considered good things.
“Then do these things have any essential connection with you Gauls, Germans, Saxons, and Slavs?
“You learned it anyway.
"Is there anything unreasonable in continuing to learn from Ming Dynasty culture in the future?"
Charles was dissected by his wife, and his whole spirit was visibly depressed.
Then he covered his face with his hands and slowly squatted on the ground.
Liu Muyu seemed to feel that what she said was a bit too much, so she walked over and squatted next to Charles, and stretched out her hand to stop Charles' shoulder:
"Actually, we don't need to do anything extra, everything just goes as it comes."
Charles nodded lightly and leaned weakly on his wife's shoulder.
More than a thousand kilometers away from western France in Mozhou, there is a piece of coastal land named Solon State.
This was the fiefdom of Prince Wilhelm Ludwig, now Count Wilhelm Ludwig Søren.
When William got here, it was a pure wasteland.
There are not even the most basic settlements.
Because there are Ming Dynasty immigration points, they will not be allocated to William.
After finishing the land, the former Ming Dynasty Military Governor's Mansion also provided some basic help to William.
A batch of grain, seeds, fertilizers, tools, building materials, machinery and equipment, etc. were provided.
Ten thousand original German nobles became William's subjects, and William took them here to cut trees, build temporary houses, and open up wasteland for farming.
These nobles, who had been enjoying themselves for many years, had to work hard to learn to be farmers under the extreme pressure of survival.
If he didn't want to be the ones, William could hand them back to Ming Dynasty, or shoot them directly himself.
As a state uncle, William could have his own guard, with the upper limit of 1,500 people.
However, Sauron State is currently extremely poor. William only organized a guard of less than a hundred people, and the guard also had to farm at the same time.
William and his people worked hard for almost a year. William and most of his people finally managed to have their own simple residences.
Nearly 20% of the first nobles who came over also died within this year due to reasons such as not adapting to the climate or overwork.
This is the southern corner of the western part of Mozhou. Generally speaking, it has a tropical rainforest climate, with abundant rain and heat.
With the fertilizers and tools provided by the Ming Dynasty, Solon State achieved a bumper harvest in the fifth year of the Grand Duke, and the food rations were immediately self-sufficient.
When the second bumper harvest was achieved in the sixth year of Dagong, not only was the food able to be self-sufficient, but there was also some food left.
A small part of it was used to make wine, a part was used to raise livestock, and the remaining part was sold to the official grain merchants of the Ming Dynasty.
Although there was no shortage of food in the Ming Dynasty, the purchase price of food was quite low.
But the way these German nobles who have become farmers can directly obtain income is by selling grain.
On the evening of May 10th, William took a bath in his lord's cabin and lay on the bed reading the newspaper.
When I saw the news about the successful launch of Ming Dynasty's False Moon, I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh, feeling that the world has changed so much.
I lamented how stupid it was for my father to drag Ming into the war.
At this moment, there was suddenly a chaotic noise outside.
I could vaguely hear someone shouting loudly.
William put down the newspaper a little irritably, shouldered a rifle, went out to meet a few guards, and then went to investigate what was going on.
The lord's house is the center of the entire wooden house village, and not far ahead is the open space in the center of the entire village.
A man in his thirties was yelling at the people around him in the open space.
It seems to be saying that Ming Dynasty turned German men into slave labor and German women into prostitutes.
Roar and tell other people that your wives who stayed in Germany may now be serving laborers and farmers who don't know where.
There was already a circle of people around, and some people seemed to be a little excited, obviously affected by the man's words.
There were two young men grabbing the yelling man, seemingly trying to persuade him to stop yelling.
William ran over quickly and asked loudly:
"In the end what happened!"
The lord appeared and the surrounding area immediately became quiet.
When the roaring man saw William, he seemed to be more energetic and shouted at William:
"Your Highness, we can't go on like this. The Ming people just turned us into slave labor. They also turned our wives and daughters into prostitutes!"
William took a look at this man's appearance and felt that he had obviously drunk too much, and his whole body exuded a strong smell of alcohol.
And there was a very bright bruise on his face, as if someone had hit him with a gun butt.
William asked him loudly and angrily:
"Where did you hear these nonsense?"
The drunk man immediately said:
"Today we went to Fucheng, where there was a prostitution house run by Persians.
“There I met a noble lady named Lucia, who told me her tragic story.
“In the Ming Dynasty’s occupied areas, unmarried girls would become the mistresses of the Ming Dynasty’s occupying troops.
"Married ladies will be sent to prostitutes.
"Although she did not go to Germany, she obviously implemented this kind of thing as a unified system...
"That Lady Lucia told me these things, and I went to question the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty.
"In the end, they beat me up. They accused that lady of lying to me, and they also hung her up and beat her up..."
William felt that people in the Ming Dynasty would not do such a thing, and the so-called noble lady turning into a prostitute was obviously a joke, so he looked at the two people next to the man:
"what happened?"
Next to the man, a young man in his twenties hesitated for a few seconds before speaking:
"That... the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty said that the Lucia woman was originally a prostitute.
“The areas directly ruled by the Ming Dynasty did not need such prostitutes, so they were handed over to the Persians and sent to Mozhou to do the business of Thai-Western immigrants.
"That prostitute deliberately said that she was a noble lady, but in fact she was just trying to increase her worth.
"Jinyiwei taught them a lesson, not because this woman said she was the noble lady of Lucia, but because she lied about the Ming people's treatment of Taixi and discredited the Ming court."
William subconsciously asked:
"Did the Ming Dynasty's Jin Yiwei explain to you how they dealt with the family members of the nobles left behind in the country?"
The young man recalled:
"It seems to be that most of the unmarried girls and married young women without children are married to soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
"Not as our Taixi mistress, but as a concubine of the Ming Dynasty who is second only to his wife. With a marriage contract, the children also have inheritance rights.
"Those who have underage children are arranged to work in factories so that they can continue to support their children...
"If someone really wants to be a prostitute, the people of Ming Dynasty won't stop them..."
William breathed a sigh of relief:
"This is in line with Ming Dynasty's style..."
However, the drunk man immediately said loudly:
“He lied, the Ming Dynasty people lied, and the Ming Dynasty people never keep their promises.
“The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty originally said that he would not occupy Taixi, but in the end he directly seized our homeland.
"Driving us into this hot wilderness to be farmers..."
After hearing this, William shouted loudly:
“The Ming Dynasty asked us to stop the war three times in a row, but we did not accept the Ming Dynasty’s warning!
“When we took the initiative to attack Britain, the future country of the Ming prince, the Ming Dynasty did not force us to do it.
"Taking a step back, what if the people of Ming Dynasty really did what you said? What else can you do besides getting drunk and crazy here?
"Do you want to resist? Are you waiting to be burned to ashes by Ming's divine punishment weapon without leaving any residue?
"If you are unwilling to accept defeat and let the winner do what you want, why didn't you choose to die on the battlefield instead of surrendering in the end!
“You stupid cowards who challenged an impossible enemy and then took the initiative to abandon your family and children to survive, what qualifications do you have to complain about these things now?
"Since we initiated the war on our own initiative, we must be prepared to lose everything!"
Then William stopped looking at this person and turned to the guard beside him:
"Put him in a dungeon to sober up. If he still behaves like this when he sobers up tomorrow, I will shoot him directly!"
The two guards immediately followed the order, grabbed the drunk man and left the scene.
William looked at the other people around him and shouted orders to them:
"Go back to bed and get up on time tomorrow to work!"
William watched everyone leave before returning to his house.
William's analysis of what happened today was nothing more than feeling full and warm and lustful.
Once I had food and shelter, and even started to save some money, I started to want women.
This problem needs to be solved.
