The Han Dynasty cannot produce 400,000 tons of steel at present. To be precise, no country can produce it at present. Even in the next 1,700 years, any country that can produce steel on this scale at once will be among the most powerful countries of the same era.
successful country.
But Zhou Yu can really produce 400,000 tons of steel. Although this will take a certain amount of time, if Zhou Yu is willing, he will be able to produce this much within three years.
Zhou Yu has the technology for local steelmaking, as well as the technical personnel. What has limited the scale from the beginning is iron ore. The level of Zhongyuan iron ore is not worthy of being used. Coupled with the difficulty of mining and the cost of screening ore, Zhongyuan Iron and Steel has
Production has been limited.
But after seeing the kind of iron ore in Australia that is easy to pick up and does not need to be screened at all, Zhou Yu realized that the world's resources are really unbalanced.
However, an imbalance is an imbalance. Now that Selian has been hacked to death, Zhou Yu, who holds the Sihai Certificate, is qualified enough to balance this kind of thing manually.
Four hundred thousand tons of steel is a desperate enough scale for any force, but for Zhou Yu, it is just something that requires him to launch hundreds of warships to transport it back and forth several times.
As for smelting, there is no screening process and only blast furnaces need to be continuously built. The demand for 400,000 tons of steel is only a constraint of manpower and time for Zhou Yu.
After defeating Selian, everything in the Pacific Ocean can be taken away.
I once knew that there was a huge open-pit iron mine in the south, but Selian was lying in the middle of the road so that Zhou Yu could not see and eat it. Now I finally successfully deleted the blocker manually.
"Four...four hundred thousand tons?" Lu Jun was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. Fortunately, it was Zhou Yu who said such words. If it were someone else, Lu Jun wouldn't even look at him, and would turn around and leave.
"Well, I only need two of the 400,000 tons. You can build the rest and sell them, or you can hand them over to Chang'an." Zhou Yu said calmly, "As for the excess steel, it will be used as labor and technical expenses."
Lu Jun took a deep look at Zhou Yu. He knew that when Zhou Yu said this, he was definitely not joking, but that the other party had really prepared so much steel, but 400,000 tons of steel, this was no joke.
However, Lu Jun has seen the world after all. Gan Ning also brought back a lot of iron ore on the ship and had the experience of Australia. As a brother who worships the boss, Lu Jun naturally will not forget this matter.
A few years later, Lu Jun was so focused on shipbuilding that he failed to think of it.
"It's Australian iron ore, right?" Lu Jun dug out from the depths of his memory Gan Ning's bragging to him. Although Gan Ning's bragging was so inconsistent with Lu Jun's understanding of iron ore that
Lu Jun didn't hear it very well, but he had some general impressions.
"Yes, once Selian dies, the entire waterway will no longer be blocked, as for some pirates." Zhou Yu said with a sneer.
The Java Sea and Sunda Islands in the south of Sumatra have been areas frequented by pirates since ancient times due to complex hydrological environment, numerous islands, and reefs. But for Zhou Yu, I have killed Selian. How dare you pirates?
Steal food from me?
Move a finger and kill them all, and they will be captured and taken to Australia to mine iron ore.
As for the swarms of kangaroos in Australia, which are somewhat tribal, that is not a problem for Zhou Yu, because next Zhou Yu will have his hands free to kill these native Australian marsupials who dare to cause trouble when Zhou Yu is mining.
, Zhou Yu can let them ascend to heaven collectively.
"Is iron ore mining over there really as simple as Xingba said?" Lu Jun looked at Zhou Yu suspiciously and asked.
"It's probably even simpler than what he told you." Zhou Yu said casually. Zhou Yu was already preparing to use the Wudang Legion to mine, blasting the iron mountains one after another, and then loading the ore on pallets and transporting it to the cargo ship.
It was transferred to the Qingzhou Smelting Department.
As for the smelting cost, of course it is settled with ore. To be honest, Zhou Yu even wanted to settle the funds invested by the major families in iron ore. After all, iron ore is very valuable these days. In the true sense,
hard currency.
But after thinking about it, Zhou Yu still felt that he should not do it so brilliantly. After spending a year, all kinds of arrangements and calculations, and even many preparations were not used up, Selian was fucked to death by himself, and then Zhou Yu felt that the air was fresh.
Already.
There is no way, Sailian rushes to the street, and Ce Yu is full. This is really not a joke. A lot of money is not enough to describe the scale of Zhou Yu's current recovery.
What five times profit, ten times profit, Zhou Yu calculated, at least one hundred thousand times profit, so after fighting this battle, Zhou Yu felt that his life was complete and he didn't want to work hard.
Because there are too many, the amount is beyond Zhou Yu's imagination. Compared with the territory that other families can obtain, after just killing Selian, Zhou Yu estimates that he has taken over the entire Central Plains.
.
This insane feeling made Zhou Yu look back on the past and suddenly feel that life was too boring. Thinking about his whole life, he was born in a family of three men. He was born with a good skin and was both civil and military. Now he is not even thirty years old.
Such a super layout was created.
To be honest, not to mention Australia, the big islands alone cover millions of square kilometers, and these places are all suitable for farming. As for the problem of rainy season flooding, the water conservancy facilities of the rubbish failed countries cannot solve it.
No, but in a country like the Central Plains, it would be impossible to do it. As long as you want to do it, you can definitely do it.
Infrastructure construction and farming have been the instincts of the people of the Central Plains since ancient times.
Zhou Yu now feels that the enfeoffment is really outrageous. I was bitter and grudged before, racking my brains to think about how to kill Selian. But after killing Selian some time ago, I suddenly found that I had reaped the benefits.
Somewhat dizzy.
It’s such a struggle. After the Ryukyu War, Zhou Yu felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life. If he didn’t struggle, he would have an island when he looked back. And based on the situation in Southeast Asia, his island would be at least hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. It felt like
I instantly lost myself on the road of life.
What are you struggling for? What is there to struggle for? To put it bluntly, the purpose of struggling in the past is that if you don’t struggle hard, you will have to go back and inherit the family of the three princes and become an ordinary wealthy family head. But now, the combined size of their whole family is incomparable.
Zhou Yu.
So much so that Zhou Yu even became confused. After all, the education of aristocratic family members will not teach you what to do after suddenly doing hundreds of times more than your father's foundation. In addition, Zhou Yu was not prepared to fight in internal affairs, and
Chen Xi didn't have any conflict at all and simply lost his direction.
Anyone else would have been confused here for a long time, but this is where Zhou Yu's greatness lies. Since he no longer has a goal, he should think about what he once longed for.
The figure of the giant ship appeared in Zhou Yu's mind. Zhou Yu said that he needed such a battleship that belonged entirely to him. What belongs to the country belongs to the country, and what belongs to his own belongs to him. Now that he has such capital, I will give you ten
If it's overflowing twice as much, come and buy me two ships.
As for Kushan, Zhou Yu no longer worried much. After entering the Indian Ocean, victory or defeat was no longer so important to Zhou Yu, because every victory in the Indian Ocean war was a blow to Kushan's national destiny.
Even if they just waste it like this, using the most common tactics to hold back the Kushan fleet, and then fight with the Kushan in the Indian Ocean, when the time comes, the Kushan will be finished.
In Zhou Yu's opinion, it was best to give the sword of destruction to Guan Yu's headquarters. He broke the Kushan blockade of the Indian Ocean, so that the Han army no longer had to worry about the blockade along the coast and the enemy's sneak attacks from the sea. This was enough. He had already
I got too much, too much, and no more would be appropriate.
In fact, Zhou Yu even felt that he and Sun Ce's forces had gone too far, and he would have paid it back before killing Selian. After killing Selian, the feudal kingdom that had been buckling suddenly expanded to the point where the Yuan family could compete for the territory.
degree.
More importantly, although these places have disasters such as rainy seasons and floods, as the locations of several major food exporting countries in later generations, they have great advantages for agriculture.
Zhou Yu is not the kind of guy who doesn't know how to farm. He does not know much about soil fertility, but he also has these professional talents under him.
Chen Xi's greatest influence on science in this era is probably division of subjects and specialization. Although division of subjects and specialization had already been demonstrated when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was engaged in Hongdu sect, Chen Xi carried out more in-depth details.
point.
Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Xi allows such subdivided professionals to no longer think about basic aspects such as food, clothing, housing and transportation after reaching a certain level, and instead engage in more professional research. This is the meaning of subject specialization.
After all, the problem of eating has always been a big problem. During this period, major aristocratic families can make a mess of things. To put it bluntly, it is not only to eat and drink enough, but also to have time and money to do things. If you can eat all the food
If you are not full, who has time to do this?
Therefore, Zhou Yu had early obtained geological research on Sumatra, Luzon, the Malay Archipelago and other islands that he could reach out to. These places were already enough for the Jiangdong forces. As for the problem that there are no people now, in the land
If there is no problem, people can grow quickly like grass.
Zhou Yu is less than thirty years old now. In twenty years, his situation will still be at its peak, and his brain power will definitely not decline at all. But twenty years of development will be enough for Zhou Yu to build a company no less than
The city that served as the capital of the Central Plains.
Under such circumstances, ask yourself, apart from the big ship that satisfies your own extravagant desires, what other reasons do you have for fighting? He is already a first-class prince, and only princes are left after that. In this life, Zhou Yu does not want to rebel. This level is already the limit.
