Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 3: Immediately across the first

No one thought that the battle between the Great Tang Empire and the powers of the Western Continent to compete for the interests of the New World would last so long, so that this war made the contest between the Western Continent and the Empire even usher in a shocking moment for the entire continent. In an unimaginable period of development, in order to support this war that almost represented a dispute between East and West, both sides are trying to overwhelm each other economically and militarily, and technological leadership has increasingly proved that it can effectively do this , so both sides are sparing no effort to increase investment in the development of science and technology in an attempt to promote economic development.

The 13-year-long intermittent war spanned from the Northern Latin Ocean in the north of the New World to the Ocean of Storms in the west, from the northern Sahara Plain on land to the Congo Black Grassland in the south-central, and from the Genaya Basin in the west to the Black Grassland of Congo. In the Great Lakes Plain in the middle, the Great Tang Empire used the power of one country to resist the attacks of almost the entire Western Continent. From a series of defeats in the early stage to gradual improvement in the mid-term, and then to mutual victories in the later stage, the Great Tang Empire step by step Starting from an unfavorable situation to reverse the situation, the entire war can be regarded as a history of the Tang Empire breaking free from the fate of the cage.

During the entire war, the Tang Empire properly controlled the scale of the war. At the same time, after attracting the people of Sioran, Jutland, and Constantine, the Imperial Navy was finally able to fight in the northern Latin Ocean. Qinhai can now compete with the navies of the Western Continent. From repeated defeats in the beginning to gradually gaining the upper hand later, the huge shipbuilding industry of the empire provided a solid foundation for the rise of the imperial navy, although from the entire war The loss of ships and soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Navy is still higher than that of all the powers of the Western Continent combined. But wars are not based on numbers. Whoever wins in the end is the real winner, and the Imperial Navy, built after **** battles and hard battles, has finally established the foundation for them to dominate the oceans. Base.

When the "Heidelberg Armistice Agreement" was signed in Heidelberg in November 715 and the "New Continental Scope of Influence Delimitation and Leap" was signed in Constantinople in December, almost all people in the political and business circles were aware of the pulse of the continent At this time, it will finally return to normal beating, but this beating will be completely different from before the war broke out seven years ago. The changes it brings will plunge the entire continent into an era of great revolution.

In September 715, the greatest invention known as the history of the mainland was produced. James Watt, a famous scholar in the Kingdom of Leeds, led a scientific research team and the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Tang Empire (the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Tang Empire was established in 611. March 2009) the research team announced almost simultaneously that a historic breakthrough had been made in the development of an improved steam engine, which could effectively convert heat energy into kinetic energy.

Since the middle of 716, the experiments on the application of steam engines on ships have been accelerating, and countries have invested heavily in the development of this invention that may change the division of the entire ocean power.

In February 718, the first steam ship (paddle wheel) successfully sailed on the Rhine Canal, the largest inland canal of the Famini Empire, and the 30-kilometer voyage was completed in only two hours. In May, the first steamship in the Tang Empire set a new record, sailing from Zhuangyuanao Military Port in Songjiang to Yuhang Military Port. After 14 hours of continuous sailing, it arrived at the destination. Although it broke down once in the middle, after the engineers and technicians tried their best to repair it, it resumed normal operation three hours later, and in this sailing. The steamship ran at a high speed of up to fifteen knots without the support of any sails. In July, the test conducted by the Navy of the Kingdom of Leeds proved this point even more. A steamship named "Mayflower" completed a voyage of 55 nautical miles in three hours, raising the record one step further.

The successful trial of the steamship immediately caused huge waves in the shipbuilding industry, and some shipbuilding owners took the initiative to seize the opportunity to make changes. Trying to be at the forefront of history, some stubbornly resist this kind of innovation that may lead to the elimination of the original equipment of the shipyard, but no one can resist the trend of history. The vigorous shipbuilding revolution set off a dynasties. Within three years, the shipbuilding industry of the entire continent evolved from sail ship manufacturing to steam ship manufacturing, which greatly stimulated the rapid development of the steam engine production industry. When the Tang Empire announced Eighteen large-scale mechanical processing enterprises will be selected as designated production enterprises for steam engine production, and after patent fees are exempted, the steam engine production frenzy finally arrives.

From May to September 719, almost coincidentally, the Kingdom of Leeds, the Tang Empire, the Famini Empire, the Barozi Kingdom, and the Augsburg Empire announced at the same time that they would promote new steamships in their navies as The main battleship of the navy. The sail warships will be completely eliminated, the naval equipment competition will further intensify, and the navy will enter the era of steam warships.

In July 721, the most important invention in the history of the mainland was produced. Leeds scientist Steven successfully used a steam engine to drive the locomotive to transport ore on rails in the mining area. catch. Just when the people of Leeds were ready to keep this pioneering work a secret, the Tang Empire quickly put this achievement into practice. In September 721, at an observation meeting in the imperial capital Zhongzhou, the Imperial Academy of Sciences showed the whole process of running a small steam locomotive on a 150-meter-long rail track produced by the Imperial Academy against time, which immediately aroused sensitivity. The great interest of the imperial merchants.

In May 722, when celebrating the 51st birthday of His Majesty the Emperor, the Imperial Government Council officially announced the paving of a 15-kilometer experimental railway from Qingyang City to Qingpu, as a link between Northwest University and Northwest Military Academy to Qingyang City traffic experiment line. In October 722, the railway was successfully laid and officially opened to traffic, which greatly shocked the entire empire and even the entire continent. Just be happy and tidy up. At this time, the Kingdom of Leeds, who got the news, started preparing for their first trip in a hurry as if waking up from a dream. railroad.

At this time, the Empire has announced the establishment of four railway companies. In addition to the Imperial Railway Company affiliated to the Imperial Council, there are three other joint consortiums that have obtained photographs of railway construction and operation. The Imperial Cross Railway Company of the financial group, the Datang Railway Company representing the Jiangnan merchant forces, and the Zhongtang Railway Development Company representing the Indian Mining Consortium, the four railway companies announced their plans almost immediately after obtaining the qualification to build railways. build plan.

The Sino-French Railway from Zhongzhou to Qingyang and later extended to Fahan Province through the Western Regions, and the China-Sea Railway from Zhongzhou to Haisen City, the capital of East Liberia Province, was captured by the Imperial Railway Company, and the Empire The Zongheng Railway Company obtained the Hejian Railway from Hejian to Hanzhong, the Monan Railway from Moluo Port in Nanhai County to Nanfeng in Tiannan County, and the Datang Railway Company obtained the railway from Songjiang Prefecture across the entire Jiangnan County to Wuhu County. The railway in Yueyang Prefecture, and they also obtained a privilege, that is, they can build the first railway on the New World, and the route is determined by themselves. The Zhongtang Railway Development Company had always hoped to get the line from Fahan to Zhongzhou, but failed. In the end, they chose a number of short lines, such as the line from Shuangduifu to Qingyang via Huohuofu, Weituofu , from Reed to the branch line of the Sino-French Railway, from Lahore to Goa and finally to Luxor.

The dynasties of railway construction set off in the Tang Empire are unmatched by any country. The most important point of the great development of railway construction is that it has pushed steel production onto the road of crazy development. Everyone knows the importance of these railways. How much steel will be needed for the construction to make these rails, and how many railway constructions will be fully rolled out in the future, and how lucrative the profits will be during the period. The doors of financial institutions are almost unlimited. Production enterprises were opened up, and the emergence of the New Continent Iron and Steel Corporation marked the final formation of the pattern dominated by the four major iron and steel enterprises in the empire. When the last section of the line from Keshaer to Kuqa was completed and opened to traffic in 637, the entire Tang Empire had built 8,500 kilometers of railway lines, accounting for more than half of the railways built in the entire continent.

The construction of the railway has greatly promoted the development of the steel industry, but the development of the steel industry has also stimulated the rapid improvement of the efficiency of the mining industry. It started to move under the accelerated dynamics, and rushed into the fast lane of the industrial revolution.

Just when the empire gained the upper hand in railway construction~IndoMTL.com~The chlorine bleaching method was first promoted in the Kingdom of Leeds, and the quality of textiles in the Kingdom of Leeds was greatly improved, and the textiles of the Kingdom of Leeds quickly became popular in the mainland , the textile products of the Tang Empire suffered a heavy blow, and it was not until ten years later that the imperial textile industry began to slowly recover. The ocean transportation competition between the Datang Empire and the Western Continent is on par. The Datang Empire clearly has the upper hand in the promotion of steamships alone, but the Leeds Kingdom has joined forces with several major maritime powers in the Western Continent to take the lead in conducting new experiments. The paddle wheels should be propeller-type propellers, which is another great advancement for steamships. Fortunately, the empire's response was also quite quick, and it did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to replace the propellers with paddle-wheel-type naval ships, so that it did not fall into a disadvantage.

The vigorous industrial revolution started simultaneously in both the east and the west due to the competition for the rights and interests of the New World. Falling behind in this game that determines the success or failure of the national destiny, the Datang Empire, the Leeds Kingdom, and the Famini Empire gradually became three pillars, and the Augsburg Empire came from behind and gradually squeezed into the ranks of this first echelon. Baroness, the Hansen League, Sioran, Jutland, Constantine, the Babylonian League, and the Kingdom of Saladin are gradually sinking. All those in power know that when new roles rise, a group of former outstanding When the former declines, it is time for history to turn a new page and usher in a new period of drastic change.
