Everyone chatted non-stop, discussing each other's achievements.
Liu Jin walked in with a smile on his face, and the entire conference room immediately fell silent. Everyone sat upright and looked at Liu Jin one by one.
"Master!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
"Everyone, sit down!"
Liu Jin nodded and indicated.
"Everyone's performance this year has been very good, development has been rapid, and everyone has worked hard."
Liu Jin looked at everyone, paused slightly, thought for a moment and spoke slowly.
People in this era still pay great attention to the word loyalty and trust. Loyalty and trust are worth a thousand pieces of gold. In various industries, there are many people who work for the same employer throughout their lives.
And because in ancient times, people's scope of activities was relatively small, so if they had a bad reputation, it would be difficult to get around, so more emphasis was placed on the word loyalty.
These senior managers under me are basically very reliable. I give them adequate treatment, and they also do their best to manage these industries for themselves. If they manage well, they will get more bonuses, but if they manage poorly, they will get poorer bonuses.
This also saved Liu Jin a lot of energy.
"The reason why we are so anxious to gather everyone here today is because a new era is coming. As the leaders of various industries in Ming Dynasty, we should always be the leader of the times."
After hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone was suddenly confused. A new era?
What era?
steampunk era?
Soon, someone thought of what they saw when they read the Tomorrow Morning News this morning, the era of steam.
"Have you all read today's tomorrow morning newspaper?"
Liu Jin picked up a copy of the Tomorrow Morning Post, and soon someone distributed a copy of today's Tomorrow Morning Post to everyone present.
"The steam engine was born, which marked the arrival of an era, the steam age!"
"Many people may think that it is just a newly invented machine, so how can it have anything to do with the times?"
"But what I want to tell you today is that the steam engine is more than just a steam engine. It represents the most advanced productivity, the most powerful power and the faster speed on the planet."
Holding the Tomorrow Morning News in his hand, Liu Jin looked very excited.
If steam engines were first used on a large scale in the Ming Dynasty, textile looms and looms driven by steam engines would appear in factories; ships would be equipped with steam engine power; there would be steam trains on land; steam cultivators would appear in farmland, and harvesters would
machine……
If all this can be achieved, then Ming will truly lead the world. Coupled with its already huge size and national power, it will soon be able to truly dominate the world, occupying the most land and possessing the most resources globally.
.
This is Liu Jin's biggest pursuit after time travel, and it is also the goal he has been working hard for.
Thinking about future generations, it is really pitiful.
Since ancient times, the descendants of Yan and Huang believed in having more children and more blessings, and liked to have children. However, later generations were forced to implement the jhsy policy. In the final analysis, their own resources were not enough.
If you have enough vast land and enough resources, why do you need to do this?
You can have as many children as you like. Anyway, the land is vast and the people are sparse, and you will even be rewarded. Just like the Ming Dynasty now, it has always encouraged childbirth, and the court is worried about the vast land and sparse people.
Population, resources, land, these are the most important things.
The Ming Dynasty has a huge population, but its own land is not too much. In the Age of Discovery, as long as you seize this opportunity, you will definitely be able to occupy the vastest land in one fell swoop, obtain the most resources, and leave a vast land for future generations.
living space.
Everyone looked at Liu Jin and could clearly feel that Liu Jin was very excited at this time. This was something that no one had ever seen before.
In the past, Liu Jin, even when he was young, acted calm and indifferent, as if he had looked away from everything, and nothing could cause a stir.
But now, just the appearance of a steam engine made Liu Jin so excited, which is really incomprehensible.
However, it is hard to figure it out, but this does not prevent everyone from paying attention to steam engines. Liu Jin must have his reasons for attaching importance to steam engines, and everyone should follow suit.
Just thinking about it, this steam engine doesn't seem to have much to do with me, and none of the industries I'm responsible for seem to use steam engines.
"Many people may feel that this steam engine has nothing to do with the industry they are responsible for."
Liu Jin looked at everyone and seemed to know what everyone was thinking.
He smiled and said: "Steam engines can be used in almost every field and in every aspect of our industrial production."
"For example, here at the shipyard, the current ships are all sailboats, which rely on sails to move, and some rely on human oars to move, but this is still too slow and subject to many conditions."
"When sailing on the sea, it is more difficult to walk against the wind, and the speed is also very slow. When there is no wind and no current, it is even impossible to walk. In rivers, it is very difficult to walk against the current."
"However, if we apply the entire steam engine to the ship, install oars on the bottom of the ship, and use the steam engine to drive the oars, our ship will be able to obtain a huge power. Then we will not need to rely on sails, and our ship will also
You can still walk, even faster and more steadily, and you can also walk quickly in countercurrents and headwinds."
The first thing Liu Jin mentioned was the shipyard. Now that the steam engine has been researched, how can we not use it on ships? It still takes too long to travel to various places. With the steam engine, it will be different. It can greatly facilitate travel in various places.
contacts.
In addition, in the areas along the Yangtze River, only Songhu on the outlet side has developed relatively quickly, while the further upstream areas have developed relatively slowly, far from being able to compare with the coastal areas. This is largely due to the impact of the countercurrent.
The boat goes down smoothly and is very comfortable, but when you want to go upstream, it is very difficult, and the travel is far less convenient than by sea.
But it will be different if there are steamships. The impact of water flow can be reduced to a minimum. By then, even places like Wuhan and Nanchang will be no different from coastal areas. The radiation ability of the Yangtze River can be greatly expanded, greatly promoting
The development of Ming Dynasty.
Of course, the most important thing is the external world. With steamships, whether it is going to the Golden Continent, Australia, or the West, it will become faster. Moreover, steamships can be built bigger and bigger, and gradually they can also make steel.
factory, driving new innovations in shipbuilding technology.
"The shipyard needs to rely on steam engines to develop new ships and ships that rely on steam power."
Liu Jin warned the person in charge of the shipyard.
"Yes~"
The other party nodded quickly, but he was thinking in his mind, this steam engine and shipbuilding are combined together, is this a steamship?
Wouldn’t it be the same as the steam harvester, which would emit black smoke from now on?
"The machinery factory must rely on steam engines. It is necessary to develop new steam textile machines and steam looms. In addition, it is necessary to develop steam engines with higher horsepower, higher stability, and easier control. Steam engines and various kinds of
Such machines must be assembled.”
"For example, if we develop machines that can shell wheat and millet, and develop machines that can grind flour, they must be combined with steam engines. We also need to develop machines that can walk on the road and use steam engines to drive them.
It can be used to load goods, and it can also be used to transport people."
Liu Jin turned around and gave instructions to the person in charge of the machinery factory.
Many machines that could not be manufactured in the past can now be manufactured with steam engines, such as machine tools. Machine tools require strong power. They rely on power to cut and process metal. In the past, they relied on human power or animal power, which was obviously not possible.
realistic.
At best, it can rely on water power, but water power limitations are relatively large, so it needs to be built next to a river.
It's different with the steam engine. After developing a stable steam engine, you can completely rely on steam power to drive machine tools, and then produce more sophisticated machines and equipment.
Apart from anything else, making guns will become simpler in the future, and more advanced guns can be made.
"Yes~"
The person in charge of the machinery factory suddenly felt a huge pressure. The burden on his shoulders was very heavy. There were too many things to study, including steam engines and new machines, and they had to be combined together. The pressure was overwhelming.
"Miyun Iron Works needs to find ways to use steam engines. Steam engines can be used to grind iron ore, and steam engines can also be used to forge steel. We should think of more ways to use steam engines to continuously improve technology and smelt better quality
of steel to create better products.”
"In the cement factory, steam engines also have their place. Grinding machines can be powered by steam, and material transportation can also be powered by steam. Think more about where steam engines can be used."
"..."
Liu Jin kept telling the heads of each industry under his command that the role of steam engines is too great, too much. Of course, it has just come out now, and many places are not very mature. In fact, it does not necessarily have to be used.
This steam engine.
But what Liu Jin wants is an attitude. No matter what the steam engine is, every industry must use it first. Only by using it more and more can the role and benefits of the steam engine be gradually felt.
In the same way, we can continuously and gradually improve the steam engine, making it more powerful, improving stability and controllability. In this process, it also drives the development and innovation of technology in various fields.
This is what Liu Jin thinks, and this is why every industry must find ways to use steam engines and put them to use.
Even for the Ryukyu Sugar Industry, Liu Jin asked them to find a way to use the steam engine. Using the steam engine to develop a powerful juicer is also an application.
