Iron Dynasty

Various types of construction machinery are displayed on the square adjacent to agricultural machinery.

When everyone came to the front, Lin Wentao proudly said: "The emperor, these are excavators, and these are bulldozers. The main machinery used in the Suez construction this time is these two."

Since the machine factory's research team became independent, the machines on this drawing have all come to reality.

After testing the performance of these machines, Lin Wentao deeply realized that these machines would bring incredible changes to the empire.

Xiao Ming looked at the excavator and bulldozer in front of him and smiled with satisfaction. In contemporary history, France took ten years to build the Suez Canal, but at that time France did not have an internal combustion engine like the Empire.

He believed that under the construction machinery of the Empire, the construction of the Suez Canal could be realized in one year.

"Very good, the operation of internal combustion engines is now more and more perfect. With them, the development of the empire will inevitably accelerate again." Xiao Ming said happily.

The investment of these machinery will greatly benefit the empire from transportation, agriculture, and engineering, which are the foundation of a country.

Lin Wentao took the opportunity to say: "The emperor, in fact, these machines are only improved, and don't have much intentions. Since the emperor is here, it is better to follow the official to see new things that a machine factory is studying. The emperor will be very happy to meet."

"Oh? So, it's a coincidence that I came this time." Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun looked at each other, looking forward to it.

Lin Wentao led Xiao Ming and his party to the inside of the machinery factory, and said: "The official was originally going to report to the emperor, but the emperor would be here."

Talking along the way, everyone passed through an arch and came to a very empty place.

The location of the machinery factory is foreign aid in the industrial zone, which is a field in the factory area where the machinery factory has not yet started construction.

But at this moment, something that Xiao Ming was very familiar with was spinning in the open field.

"Monoplane?"

Xiao Ming was slightly surprised, but he really didn't know what Lin Wentao had tinkered with this thing.

"Yes, Xiaguan has been studying this kind of machinery that can fly in the sky during this period. With the improvement of the accuracy of the imperial machine tools, Xiaguan believes that the time to manufacture this kind of machinery has come, so he built such a prototype model." Lin Wentao said.

Xiao Ming suddenly understood that he wondered why flying in the sky was such a thing, why he didn't know that it was just a model.

Seeing Xiao Ming’s look, Lin Wentao said: “The emperor, although the fuselage is a model, the propeller is real. We are currently testing the power performance of the propeller. If the flight conditions can be met, Xiaguan will build a complete one. Aircraft. "The most important thing about an aircraft is the power system. After solving this problem, the problem of the aircraft is basically solved. "For Xiao Ming, this visit was an unexpected surprise.

But the real surprise still needs to wait. After all, Lin Wentao's research is only the initial stage in his opinion. If you want to create a battle with excellent performance, I am afraid that you need to integrate the industrial capabilities of the empire and establish an independent aircraft production line.

In this way, the aircraft may not be mass-produced without three to five years, and even if it is mass-produced, it will take some time to form combat effectiveness.

He was not in a hurry for this time, because the steam turbine of the Empire was also in use at this time.

The time of mass production of the two coincides, and the Empire will be able to realize the combination of the cannon giant ship and the sea sky.

And this is the imperial military power he really expects.

Pang Yukun said excitedly on the side: "The technology of the empire is really changing with each passing day, but when this thing is mass-produced, the old minister's beard will probably be gone.

"It's not just you, I'm afraid my hair will be white." Xiao Ming's words contained helplessness to the years.

Recalling the lush years when they came to this world, and the people now to middle age, the empire grew out of nothing, and the older the empire, the stronger, but they grew older day by day.

Like Pang Yukun's thoughts, he also hopes to witness the empire achieve one leap after another, but for now, this can only be a luxury.

It was also from the helplessness of the years that he was eager to build his ideal world system and leave precious wealth for the empire, because he could not be sure where the empire would go without his own.

In this case, he can only try to create a situation that is beneficial to the empire while alive.

After turning around the propeller of the plane, Xiao Ming saw that there was no problem with the entity created by Lin Wentao, and only then returned with Pang Yukun.

On the returning car, Xiao Ming asked Pang Yukun to give priority to construction machinery to the engineering degree of the Suez Canal. For agricultural machinery, he asked to sell them after meeting the use of the official estate. As for agriculture in Africa, a large number of black slaves made up for the shortcomings. Just fine.

...

September of the eighth year of the imperial calendar.

After occupying Tangier for two months, Liu Chen received the order to destroy the British Navy. With this order came forty-six Imperial battleships, which brought Liu Chen’s fleet to 88 ships. .

In addition, a large number of transport ships followed the fleet, which brought sufficient supplies and a group of agricultural technicians from the Empire.

"Commander Liu."

The leader of this fleet was Xie Yuan. He and Liu Chen were in the Qingzhou Fleet back then and were assigned to the Atlantic Fleet after the imperial navy was split.

"Commander Xie."

When the two met, they first paid a military salute to each other~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then patted each other again.

"I didn't expect the emperor to send you over. It's great. Let's not talk about the British fleet. We can deal with even the entire European fleet." Liu Chen said happily.

Xie Yuan said: "The emperor sent us because he was worried that other European countries would suddenly join the war. He also sent a group of agricultural technicians. Tangier will be the bridgehead for the Empire to attack Europe in the future."

"Hahaha... the emperor is still very good. This is about setting up a farm in Africa. Well, yes, the French captives and slaves we captured are all useful now, and the Minerals Department has also found coal mines in Morocco. Supply is not a problem at all." Liu Chen said, before they captured Tangier, France had implemented a cruel slavery policy against Tangier, he just picked up a ready-made one.

Compared with Liu Chen, Xie Yuan was a little excited. After all, as the commander of the Atlantic Fleet, he didn't participate in the war against Britain. So after receiving the combat order, he couldn't wait for the whole army to come.

"The supply should be left to the administrative officials. When will we give the British a severe lesson?"
