Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1184: New year’s small goals!

? "Sambo, Master, I will assign you two guards, you will find a few reliable people in the mansion by yourself, you will be prepared today, and you will leave for Bashu tomorrow to help me find vanadium mines~!" /

The reason why Li Zexuan didn't want to go blind with a kid like Li Yuanchang was mainly because he had more important things to do. The more important thing was to continue to build his industrial blueprint!

Recalling what he did in the first year of Zhenguan, in addition to the top event of Yanhuang Academy, what he did was more tentative experiments, such as voltaic batteries, telegraphs, electric lights, generators, etc. Wait!

Among them, some things have been initially created, and some are still in the theoretical stage due to practical reasons of this or that kind, but in general, these things have not yet achieved large-scale quantities. Produce!

So, Li Zexuan set a few small goals for himself this year:

First of all, the "three acids and two bases" required by the chemical industry must be produced on a large scale;

Secondly, construction of the hydropower station on the Bahe River must begin, and it may not be fully completed, but construction must start this year;

Third, the generator must be built successfully. Although the first-generation generators may be ugly, heavy, expensive, inefficient, and unstable, these are not problems, because the first-generation generators are just a transition. The first-generation generators are installed and excavated. Electricity can be generated on the stone culverts or small dams. With electricity, copper can be refined. At this time, preparations for building a second-generation generator are made. Once we have a stable and efficient second-generation generator, we can continue to develop technology in depth;

Fourth, he began to concentrate on developing the metallurgical industry. During this year, he would send people out to search for various metal deposits, and then he would use his own copper, iron, coal, etc. Metals such as blister copper and iron are refined, and then various metals are refined by electricity, and various alloy steels are finally produced;

Fifth, after we have alloy steel and electricity, we can consider manufacturing industrial mother machines-machine tools! At that time, Datang's industrial base will undergo a qualitative leap! Various advanced technology products will become possible in the future...

Well, according to this, the second year of Zhenguan is definitely a fulfilling year for Li Zexuan, and the schedule should not be too full!

"Master, what does this vanadium mine look like?"

Sambo, frowning tightly, asked.

Years ago, Sambo and Ah Fu spent a period of time in the workshop because they made fireworks, and they were considered "basic level". The most important thing was that Fubin was distributed at the Shanxi mine. Don't open your body, otherwise the kid will definitely be more experienced in mining.

Li Zexuan took out a booklet, handed it to the Sambo, and said: "Hey! Master, I will write down the appearance and characteristics of this vanadium ore. Master, I will write it down for you today. I can start~"

Sambo took the booklet and opened it. There were colorful illustrations with vivid textures and lines, and some narrative text, which was really quite detailed. He closed the booklet and scratched his head. Smiled:

"Hey! Master, I have been learning how to read Chinese characters last year, otherwise you may not understand any of the three treasures~!"

Li Zexuan said happily: "Haha! Master, I used to let you do more reading, but it's useful~?"

Sambo nodded again and again, and said: "Hmm! Useful and useful! This time Sambo will bring a dictionary with you when you go to Shu, and you can look it up by yourself if you encounter a word you don't know!"

Nowadays, because of the widespread distribution of the "Datang Dictionary", more and more people are literate in the Tang Dynasty. According to calculations by Kong Yingda, Fang Xuanling and others, it is estimated that in three to five years, those who will participate in the Imperial Examination of the Tang Dynasty The number of people, there will be a blowout!

"Haha! Ruzi can teach!"

Li Zexuan laughed and said: "Three treasures, this mining search is also a kind of experience for you. In the land of Bashu, various forces are intricate. You need to be cautious and try not to provoke local forces. After finding out the location of the vanadium mine, I will come back immediately. When the time comes, Master, I will go to ask your majesty for the imperial decree, and then open the mine in a fair way!"

Ancient Bashu generally refers to the modern Sichuan Basin and some adjacent areas. It is both a geographical concept and a cultural concept.

The land of Bashu is surrounded by mountains. It borders the Qinling Mountains in the north, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from the northwest to the west, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in the south, and the Yangtze River in the east. It is extremely inconvenient for external transportation. In the north, only Baoxie and Ziwu roads connect with Guanzhong and Guandong, and the roads are steep. There are many valleys in the south and mountainous areas in the east. The east sewer is also very difficult and dangerous, and only the western plain is a little more accessible. Therefore, the land of Bashu has become a relatively closed geographic unit far from the interior.

Although the Bashu area was incorporated into the political system of the Central Plains dynasty very early, due to geographical barriers and far from the political center, there have been a large number of Di, Qiang, Man, Lao and other ethnic groups in Bashu and the surrounding areas of the basin. , Making the land of Bashu in fact become the "marginal" zone of the dynasty, here, sometimes the patriarch of your tribe may be more effective than what Li Er said!

Since the Han Dynasty, there have been multiple separatist regimes and large-scale disturbances in the Bashu area, which has formed the impression of "Shu people are chaotic." In particular, the local power represented by the Bashu Hao Clan is known to be strong. At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the world was turbulent, but the land of Bashu was relatively peaceful, but it was only relative to the outside. Its internal forces were entrenched, especially among the various tribes, and the relationship between forces was complicated. Vanadium ore was discovered in Bashu. How to mine it peacefully is still a very difficult problem.

Sambo obviously understands the power of it. At this moment, his face no longer has the same joking and joking. He nodded and said seriously: "Master, don't worry, Sambo will be cautious!"

Li Zexuan patted Sambo on the shoulder, and said vigorously: "Yeah! Sambo, you work hard. If you do it well, the young master will rest assured that you will be handed more important tasks to you~IndoMTL.com~ and you, in the future. To be able to prosper and to be rich is endless!"

For your "employees", it is necessary to pour some "chicken soup for the soul" in a timely manner!

Sure enough, the Sambo immediately looked like a chicken blood, and raised his head and said: "Master! Sambo! Don't be prosperous and wealthy, as long as you can help the young master with errands, Sambo will be content!"

"Haha! Alright! Don't flatter your kid! Go down and get ready!"

Li Zexuan smiled and said.

"Yes! Master!"

Sambo left, but Li Zexuan was lost in thought. Datang's metallurgical industry is quite underdeveloped. The metals that have been mined are nothing but gold, silver, copper, iron, etc. This is definitely not enough. It seems that he will need it in the future. Train a group of talents to search for mines all over the country!
