Chapter 265： Scientist Archive

In 1855, the British engineer Bessemer invented the converter steelmaking method, using machinery instead of manual stirring, which greatly improved production efficiency.

In this era, everyone's sense of confidentiality was not high, and the news spread quickly. Of course, you can't keep it secret, as long as you apply for a patented technology, it will be leaked.

The converter steelmaking method is not a high-level technology. Everyone has not adopted it. It is mainly a matter of ideology. It does not mean how difficult the mechanical production technology of mixing is.

After the news passed to Vienna, it immediately caused a sensation, which means that the efficiency of steel production will be greatly improved, and the dilemma of lack of steel on the market will be improved.

Occasionally I went over the newspaper's Franz. After seeing this technology, I remembered that the steelmaking technology of this era was still very primitive.

Austria's largest steel group has more than 100,000 employees and an annual output of more than 500,000 tons of steel.

At this point, output also occupies half of the total steel of the New Holy Roman Empire, known as the first steel group in continental Europe.

Austria's steel output is also second only to the British, ranking second in the world, and the total production capacity has exceeded that of the French.

This data is enough to satisfy the Vienna government. Now the production capacity of Austrian steel is growing at a rate of more than 20% per year, which is completely open development.

The main reason for the surge in production capacity is due to market demand. Now the steel market is completely in short supply, not just in Austria, the entire European continent is in short supply.

At present, the international steel exporters are mainly British, Belgium is also a steel exporter, and the remaining countries do not import steel, even if they are industrial powers.

After five years of hard farming, the steel production capacity has finally exceeded one million tons, which is still based on the premise of the merger of the South German region, otherwise this figure cannot be reached.

Encouraged by the Vienna government, Franz was not surprised. There is no harm without comparison. Now the British's steel production capacity is approaching 3.3 million tons, which is about the same as the total of continental Europe.

At this time, it needs to be opened. In terms of steel production capacity, the local resources of Britain and France determine the upper limit of their steel production capacity.

Even if steel technology continues to make breakthroughs, there is no way to solve these problems. It can't be seen in the short term, and the lack of resources in the later stages will limit their growth.

Of course, they have colonies that can make up for the shortage of resources, but the increase in costs has also caused a decline in profits, which has deprived capitalists of their interest in continuing to invest.

Franz asked with concern: "Mr. Algiers, is it feasible in our existing technology to use open hearth steelmaking?"

There is no way. There are too many things. Franz has forgotten to promote the innovation of steel technology, and this can be opened.

Of course, he is not even an amateur on this issue. Franz of open hearth steelmaking technology remembers the words "open hearth steelmaking". The specific content is not a professional who knows?

Algist stared at Franz with a grimace. What kind of ghost is open-hearth steelmaking? Could it be laid flat?

Franz couldn't answer this question! It can only be explained bluntly: "It is to improve the efficiency and quality of steel smelting by changing steelmaking furnaces."

Algist nodded thoughtfully, still confused, and replied uncertainly: "Your Majesty, this question requires a lot of experimentation to know, or should I do the experiment first?"

"Okay!" Franz replied without hesitation.

Obviously, this is not just a matter of ideas, it is also a matter of technology. At least Franz was sure that it was definitely not a matter of laying the steelmaking furnace flat.

Sent to Algiers, Franz decided that such things in the future should not be done blindly. If it involves industrial technology, it is better to dig people directly.

Isn't it the Siemens family? Is it because of his influence in the German region that he is afraid of digging people?

Franz can proudly say that after so many years of operation, except for the Prussian Junker aristocracy, the others are basically the price.

There is no way for the great Junker aristocracy. This is really impossible to dig. People are military-owned countries. Franz cannot give that treatment anyway.

Of course, there are many ordinary Junker nobles who come to play for him. After all, the reason why eggs are not placed in a basket, many nobles understand.

Judging from the current development, the German region is obviously the new Holy Roman Empire with more potential and the most orthodox existence.

The most important thing is that Franz's policies can best protect everyone's interests. Even the states that have joined the German Federal Empire are also watching the Vienna government.

Although the Paris meeting forcibly split the German region, this does not mean that the people in the German region are really willing to accept it.

Instead, because of the interference of the powers this time, the idea of ​​unification has spread more widely. In particular, the rebellious secondary two boys have become firm Germans.

In recruiting talents, the Vienna government has taken advantage. Because of the resources at hand, Franz can also offer a higher price than the other two.

...

Franz ordered: "Tyren, send someone to check the Siemens family."

After several years of reorganization, the intelligence organizations have become more combative. The peripheral intelligence organizations formed by the aristocratic network mainly collect some basic news.

There are also specially trained intelligence personnel, using this network, arrange new identities to be mixed into governments.

These are long-term incubations, and will not be activated unless necessary. In the short term, it is still mainly to buy, which is the most effective means.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tyron replied

After a pause, Franz said, "Just build a scientist archive and collect all the data of famous scientists from all over the world, especially those in the German region.

Including outstanding young people who have the potential to become scientists, you can also focus on the same. Anything we need can be arranged to dig over, and in this respect Count Hohen can be coordinated to house them. "

There is no way. With so many scientists in this world, many people who are not famous in later generations, but who made outstanding contributions at the time, are equally attractive.

Can not fool outsiders, holding German nationalism and patriotic flags to scientists in the region of Fugu, can you?

The slogan Franz thought about it: "working hard for the unity of Germany", coupled with generous treatment, he could not believe or fool around.

It is because oil and salt will not enter, and Franz does not mind the moral abduction. Start with relatives and friends and let them do ideological work together and patriotism education for die-hards.

As long as these people come in, they do n’t make any difference whether they are serving government research institutions, serving private enterprises, or operating their own industries.

In the mid-to-late 19th century, however, there was a huge outbreak of talents in the German region, both in quality and quantity, far surpassing all countries in the world.

The Second Reich of Germany was able to become an explosive household, relying on this wave of talent explosion, walking at the forefront of the second industrial revolution.

The foundation of the new Holy Roman Empire is now much stronger than that of the German Empire. This gap is very wide, both in terms of resources and in the market.

In 1855, the total population of the New Holy Roman Empire reached 51.286 million people, with a total area of ​​about 1.026 million square kilometers. The total industry was comparable to that of the French.

With this base, except for the bears next door, no country in continental Europe can compare with it.

The furry bear is a pervert, with a territory larger than 20 times that of the New Holy Roman Empire and a population of more than 73 million. This is also due to the Crimean War, which is 74 million.

It doesn't matter if you can't fight the bear, Franz is just better than English and French. Especially the French, France had a population of more than 35 million a decade ago, and now it is barely 36 million.

This snail-like growth rate is still declining. It was not until the First World War that it reached the 40 million level, from the second most populous country in Europe to the fifth.

In the face of this competitor, Franz can safely say boldly: Don't worry about it anymore, let's spend time slowly!

Every year, the strength comparison between the two sides changes. In less than two decades, the population of the new Holy Roman Empire is twice as large as that of the French, and the gap between the strengths of the two sides has been completely opened.

There is no way to meet such a buddhist opponent, you can surpass the past by the salted fish mode. There is no need to do anything against them, the French themselves will leave themselves alone.

Napoleon III's ability to develop the economy is really good, but there is no way to change the current situation of low fertility in the French people, unless the current inheritance law, marriage law ...

In short, the French people are not unwilling to have children, but they cannot afford more children. Large cities are full of abandoned babies, and the working class can't afford to give birth, or there is no time to raise them.

Farmers who should have been the main force of population growth because of limited land, in order to ensure the quality of life, they spontaneously reduced fertility.
