Boss Yang returned to Sweden after the New Year. He first contacted the Swedish military to help him lie about the original cruiser. This was just a trivial matter. For the most popular foreign investor in Sweden, Boss Yang’s
All requests will be met.
Then there is the production of new weapons. There is no difficulty in this aspect. The main problem with grenades in this era is the charge. You cannot let a soldier run around the battlefield with a grenade filled with nitrocellulose or picric acid. Then
I really can’t tell whether he is blowing up others or himself. Just look at those gaming comrades of Brother Pao who blew themselves up.
Well, you don't have to worry about changing ladders. This grenade is still a wooden handle grenade with steel balls inside the cast iron shell. Its performance is not much worse than the grenade during World War II. Anyway, the lethality within a range of five to six meters is still very impressive.
Fortunately, the only drawback is that the price is a bit high. At this time, the ladder has just begun to be used in the military, so the high cost is inevitable.
The key to mortar production is steel. By providing Bofors with a small technical improvement, Yang Feng easily obtained the alloy steel he needed. Although the processed 82mm mortar could not reach his
Modern alloy steel has a range of five kilometers, but it is still very easy to hit two kilometers away.
This is enough. A 82 gun that can run on the shoulder can hit two kilometers, which makes the latest Krupp 75-line battalion gun that has to be pushed and pulled by a horse unworthy.
As for the machine gun, there is no need to study it. No one likes this thing now anyway. If you have the energy, you might as well ask Bofors to imitate Miss Qiwu, which will be crazy popular. After all, this is still an era of cannons.
A barrel-retracting rapid-fire army heavy artillery with fifteen rounds per minute makes people crazy just thinking about it.
The other is his steam turbine. The Young Steam Turbine Company, a joint venture between Young Marine Power Systems Company and Parsons Steam Turbine Company, has been officially established, but not in the UK, but in Sweden. As a compromise, Parsons received 10%
Five percent of the shares, while Laval, another inventor of the steam turbine, received 5 percent. The general manager of the company was a Swede recruited by Ericsson. Parsons served as the chief engineer and worked with Laval, the deputy chief engineer, to conduct research.
In addition, Yang Feng also provided them with some technical assistance, such as the condenser and the high-temperature nozzle later invented by Laval. With these help, the research work naturally progressed rapidly. A sample with a power of more than 1,500 horsepower has been
It has been manufactured and is being loaded onto a fifty-ton boat at Yang's Shipyard.
In addition to steam turbines, his diesel engine and walk-behind tractor production is completely on track, including the supporting rubber tire factory. Moreover, this tire factory named Goodyear immediately became enthusiastically sought after when its products came out. Carbon black rubber, rubber surface pattern
, cord inner tubes... A series of new technologies have made tires a step forward. Almost twenty years later, car manufacturers including Mercedes-Benz swarmed in like flies on the spot.
In addition to tires and manual transmissions, what they are crazy about are pursuing. With these two things, the automobile industry has immediately entered a new era.
This result makes Yang Feng very satisfied. How can building your own car compare to controlling the upstream? No matter how good BMW or Mercedes-Benz is, will it languish in front of Bosch? If you go back and build a high-end car brand, it will be used to showcase new technologies.
That’s it.
In addition, his diesel engine can also be said to have made rapid progress. With the provision of drawings and samples, Yang's engineers have built a four-cylinder diesel engine with a power of more than 100 horsepower. Although it is still relatively large, it is used in
There are no problems with the truck. However, considering the current road conditions, it is estimated that it will be difficult to sell trucks if they produce trucks with a load capacity of several tons. Therefore, Boss Yang’s next target is still tractors, large load-bearing tractors.
Anyway, oil is cheap at this time, so you don’t have to worry too much about fuel consumption and the like.
In fact, there was a bit of excess crude oil production at this time. You must know that the main product of the petrochemical industry is kerosene, and kerosene is the most used. Rockefeller started by selling kerosene, and Mobil's iconic product in China is lamp oil.
The use of gasoline has just been discovered, and due to distillation technology, the output is not very high. It was not until the invention of cracking technology twenty years later that gasoline truly entered an era of great development. As for diesel, it is not called an industrial product at all now.
It is industrial waste, and petrochemical plants use it to burn fires. But now with the emergence of diesel engines, this thing has begun to be sold for money.
It seemed like it was time to enter the petrochemical industry. Looking at the tractors being assembled in his factory, Boss Yang began to consider the next development direction. He was ready to do his best to bring the world into the age of oil as quickly as possible.
This was a key factor in triggering a major reshuffle of the world order. If we could have cars running all over the streets in 1900, we might not have to wait until 1914 for a war to begin.
With oil cracking technology and additive technology, he can build the world's most advanced refinery in Sweden, and then use this refinery as a technical symbol to cooperate with those oil giants. All oil giants
Cooperate and let gasoline flood in the shortest possible time.
"Yang, there are more and more American businessmen who want to buy tractors now. Shall we sell some to them?" Ericson didn't know that this guy was studying how to cause trouble in the world. The sales of tractors were very hot, but Yang Feng still didn't know.
Insisting on not selling to the United States is a bit of a fly in the ointment. It is understandable that he does not sell to Russia. After all, it is said that his best friend and first love died at the hands of the Russians, but not selling to the United States is a bit bad.
"Have they not agreed to our patent application yet?" Yang Feng asked. Now, European countries have granted him most of the patent authorizations, but the United States has been silent. This is not surprising. The aristocrats and rich people in European countries are so
Over time, I have relied more and more on his special medicines, but Americans have little to do with him.
"No, it is said that it is still under review and approval." Erikson shook his head and said that he didn't think it was a big deal. Patent review and approval took a long time, let alone an application from a foreigner.
"You're forcing me to mess with them!" Boss Yang sighed with emotion.
"You asked someone to book a ferry ticket for me. I need to go to the United States." He immediately said to Erikson.
In this era, there are many things waiting for him to take action in the United States. Not to mention, just buying the large oil field in East Texas can be said to be a huge fortune. Now that place is basically a piece of land.
The land in the wild forest is not worth much, and it would not cost much to buy all the land in the entire oil field area. It is estimated to cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Of course it is not for development. In this era, you would be a fool if you believe that you can go to the United States to dig for oil and make a fortune! In this era, the United States is purely a country of wandering people. In order to make money, you can say that you will use any means and there is no lower limit.
, it is completely different from Europe. If a Chinese really owns a large oil field in the United States, he will die to pieces the next day, even if he has an army to protect him. The Americans will use the army to protect him.
It is too easy to deal with him and kill a foreigner in this matter. The problem can be solved as long as Congress casually passes a law. I believe that all capitalists in the United States will support it at this time.
In front of these gangsters who are not even afraid of death in order to make money, Yang Feng's poor drug control is very weak.
So he said that he wanted to enclosure the land, a large-scale enclosure in the United States, including oil fields, iron ore, aluminum ore, everything that could be enclosed, and then he would raise grass and trees there without doing anything else, just fence them up and let the sheep graze.
Moreover, coupled with mercenaries herding sheep, private land prohibits any mining exploration personnel from entering. With his current status and drug control, even if he buys a county or even a state's wilderness in the United States to herd sheep, Americans will not
For those who have the slightest objection, this is a good way to draw fire under the kettle. The development of American industry relies not on technology but on resources. It is the inexhaustible cheap resources in the vast land that allow them to compete with the old continent.
If you can win in this way and delay their development as much as possible, it will undoubtedly be very helpful to your future strategy.
And this can also be used as an exchange for Americans to give themselves convenience in terms of patent rights. A big financier who spends money everywhere, I believe whoever it is will warmly welcome him and give him something that should have been given to him in return.
, then it is natural.
He was going to the United States, so naturally he couldn't go alone. There were financial staff, lawyers, bodyguards, maids, female secretaries, and even personal chefs, especially the bodyguards here. Yang Feng recruited a platoon of them in Sweden.
The mercenaries, with Johnson as their captain, were equipped with Lee-Enfield rifles, automatic pistols, and even grenades. They also got a few titanium alloy plates and made one person a bulletproof vest. These are like bears.
He's a big guy and doesn't care about the extra weight on his body.
The place in the United States is very chaotic and there is not enough security. He doesn't want to risk his life. This guy even wears his own golden dragon stand-up collar, but in order to cover up the golden dragon with its teeth and claws, it is specially affixed on the outside.
Some very exquisite embroidery, made to look just like those nobles in the Middle Ages.
After learning the news, Baron Rothschild assigned him a bank manager, who was responsible for his banking business in the United States.
