Many people had little understanding of the national debt, but when they heard that His Majesty, the most respected Emperor, had purchased five billion new Merlot coins, many people were excited.
"Your Majesty has already bought it, can we not buy it?" Someone made a voice.
Early the next morning, all the Merlot banks were crowded with people.
They just want to buy national debt early and contribute to the construction of the empire.
This also caused many nobles who had smelled the opportunity of wealth to queue up early, but they did not expect that there would be others earlier than them.
Seeing the people rushing to buy, but most people only bought one or two gold coins, the nobles scorned this.
How much can I buy with this amount of money?
Duke Filo was one of them, but when he saw tens of millions of new Merlot coins being sold in the bank in front of him in just one hour, he couldn't help but show a shocked expression.
Are all the people in Merlo City so rich?
If the civilians in his territory were so rich in the past, he would definitely find ways to dig out their money instead of giving them such a big deal to pick it up.
Duke Phillot made a miscalculation. The national debt of 20 billion seems to be a lot, but in fact it is insignificant in the entire Melox Empire.
Especially now that the people's wealth is also protected by the Merlot Charter, and since the nobles can no longer seize their wealth in a clever way, people with some savings have also appeared one after another.
In just three days, all the national debt was sold, of which nearly 7 billion was purchased by the people. Adding in the 5 billion purchased by Aslan, only 8 billion was actually left for the nobles and officials.
Many nobles were upset about this. After receiving the money, Wilson began to calculate carefully, and the Population Committee's allocation could not be less.
As for the recovery of economic development in various places, we started to slow down the pace according to Shirkin's proposal. The focus is still on the construction of various raw material factories, such as mines, or power stations and reservoirs, and giving priority to the main cities of various provinces to connect and use electricity.
.
Because of the magic power engine, the coal produced in the coal mine is rarely used in industrial production and is mainly used in the field of industrial chemistry.
Among them, coking has become the main industry.
Coking is to place coal in a retort furnace and isolate it from the air for heating. The organic matter in the coal is gradually decomposed as the temperature increases. The volatile substances escape in the gaseous or vapor state and become coke oven gas and coal tar instead of volatile solids.
The residue is coke.
Coke oven gas is a kind of fuel and an important chemical raw material. Coal tar can be used to produce fertilizers, pesticides, synthetic fibers, synthetic rubber, paints, dyes, medicines, explosives, etc.
Coke is mainly used in blast furnace ironmaking and casting, and can also be used to make nitrogen fertilizer and calcium carbide.
Calcium carbide is a synthetic chemical product such as plastics, synthetic fibers, and synthetic rubber.
Another part is used for gasification, low-temperature carbonization, and hydrogenation and liquefaction.
Gasification refers to the conversion into coal gas that can be used as industrial or civil fuel and raw material for chemical synthesis.
Low-temperature carbonization is to place coal or oil shale at a temperature of about 550°C to produce low-temperature tar and low-temperature coke oven gas. Low-temperature tar can be used to produce high-grade liquid fuels and as chemical raw materials.
Hydro-liquefaction is to mix coal, catalyst and heavy oil together, destroy the organic matter in the coal under high temperature and pressure, and convert it into low molecular liquid and gaseous products with hydrogen, which can be further processed to obtain liquid fuels such as gasoline and diesel.
The raw coal for hydroliquefaction is mainly lignite, long-flame coal, and gas coal.
The Melox Empire can still produce the first two independently, while the latter two are still under planning. The equipment for gasification and hydrogenation and liquefaction has just been purchased from Blue Star. If they want to be put into production as soon as possible, it will take at least half a year.
This is the difference between the Merlox Empire and the Maxim Empire.
The Maxim Empire only uses coal as fuel, but the Merox Empire has begun to use coal to produce this derivative resource.
The only difference between the two is that the industrial development of the Maxim Empire was more than 20 years more than that of the Merlock Empire, and the infrastructure was more than that of the Merlock Empire, so they were suppressed by quantity.
So Aslan can only win with quality.
A large number of Blue Star's advanced equipment and technologies were introduced, and then the Imperial Magic researchers thoroughly understood them and then independently developed new equipment.
For example, the latest blast furnace was purchased from the Bremen Federation. It was the latest blast furnace jointly developed with the Holy Breita Empire. It is the largest and most advanced blast furnace in the world and is named Yare Blast Furnace.
The volume of Yalei blast furnace is more than 6,000 cubic meters, and its annual output reaches more than 5 million tons of steel. Not only does this furnace have an amazing output, it is also very environmentally friendly and highly efficient. For example, if it produces one ton of steel,
It consumes only two-fifths of the resources, which is far lower than other blast furnace production.
Its advantage is mainly due to the fact that it has the largest blower in the world, which weighs 123 tons, has an output power of 60,000 kilowatts, and its wind pressure is also astonishing to 520,000 Pa, which is the same as level 12
Compared with hurricanes, it is a thousand times larger.
Such a giant is also of high quality and low price. The price is only 1.8 billion new Merlot coins. However, the products of Blue Star and even the same Yare Blast Furnace of the Holy Breta Empire are twice the price.
This is why Mu Kailun used Kate's name to help Aslan purchase, just to get a bottle of Doupo potion.
According to reliable information, the current annual steel output of the Maxim Empire is about 70 million tons, the Magic City has 20 million tons, and the Eastern God Sect is the least, with less than 6 million tons.
This is attributed to the fact that Eastern Shintoism pays too much attention to religious development, resulting in very slow development of folk science and technology and very backward steelmaking technology.
Although the Eastern God Sect has a very high-end technical team that can quickly imitate various advanced weapons, the overall industrial technology cannot just rely on the imitation of certain weapons.
When Aslan was the lord of the Merlock Empire, it focused on industrial development. In particular, the annual output of the steel mill in Le Mans City has reached one million tons. Coupled with the reintegration of steel mills in various places, Merlock is now
The steel output of the Merlox Empire is about 6 million tons. Once the Yalay blast furnace is put into operation and the large-scale steelmaking production in several other provinces is put into operation, the steel output of the Merlox Empire should exceed 20 million tons.
From this point, it is enough to prove that Aslan attaches great importance to the steel industry.
The steel industry refers to the industry that produces pig iron, steel, steel products, industrial pure iron and ferroalloys. It is one of the basic industries of all industrialized countries in the world.
Economists usually regard steel production or steel production per capita as an important indicator of the economic strength of various countries.
The steel industry is an important basic industrial sector in a country and the material basis for the development of the national economy and national defense construction. The level of the metallurgical industry is also a symbol of a country's industrialization.
The steel industry is a huge heavy industry sector. Its raw material, fuel and auxiliary material resource conditions affect the scale, product quality, economic benefits and layout direction of the steel industry.
This is the direction that Aslan has always advocated. With the current level of science and technology in the mainland and the existence of BUG professions such as magic, a small amount of special steel can be produced with the help of magicians, so increasing the production of steel is the key to the current stage.
main mission.
