”Yes, Emperor. We are studying it. "
Lin Wentao bowed himself and said that in fact, the research of the Institute of machinery is not in succession, but in parallel.
With the increase of imperial researchers, the Institute of mechanical research was divided into many groups, each group was responsible for different mechanical research, and the forging hydraulic press was one of them.
Lu said: "this is what I want. Now some plastic products in chemical industry need forging. "
" plastic? What's this? "Lin Wentao asked in a puzzled way. He was too scientific and had no idea of some things in chemistry.
Song Changping and Chen Qi also listen.
Xiao Ming knows something about Lutong's success in manufacturing plastics. Most of the news in the newspapers these years is about the imperial machinery industry.
However, the development of the chemical industry has been carried out rapidly, quietly providing assistance for the mechanical industry.
Unconsciously, the Empire has been able to produce oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, helium and other chemical gases, and the chemical fertilizer industry, paper industry, medicine and other industries have also made great progress.
"This plastic is actually resin. It can be said that natural resins such as asphalt, rosin, amber and shellac can be used to make plastics. "Xiao Ming explains.
At the end of the 19th century, scientists succeeded in nitrating natural cellulose and using camphor as plasticizer to make the world's first plastic variety, followed by the birth of the first synthetic phenolic plastic.
Now Lutong has been able to synthesize phenolic plastics, which have been adopted by the electrical and instrument manufacturing industries of the Empire.
All of a sudden, through the topic of plastics, they talked about the new things in their respective industries, and an exchange meeting seemed to be born.
Xiao Ming did not disturb their heated discussion. He left the equipment department with Qian Dafu and went directly to the general staff.
With the efforts of Lin Wentao and others, the industrial capacity of the Empire became increasingly strong, which also gave the Empire the strength to expand.
Now he went to the general staff to formulate a long-term strategy of the Empire.
When he came to the general staff, Cui Shangan immediately welcomed him. He still had a pen in his hand and seemed to be writing something.
After entering the combat Department of the general staff, twenty young generals saluted him one after another. These are the staff officers of the general staff, who are responsible for formulating the combat plan in ordinary days.
After a military salute, Xiao Ming looks at the huge model in the middle of the combat department, which is a three-dimensional version of the world map.
In this model, countries all over the world are clearly shown in the sea area, and some important cities in some countries have also set up models.
Today, all the areas occupied by the Empire have been planted with the imperial dragon flag.
"Emperor, this is the port currently planned by the last general." Cui Shangan pointed to the model and said that there are port models along the coastline on the model. This is what Cui Shangan is doing now.
To control the world's trade, the Empire needs to control the world's ports. To deal with Europe and North America more effectively, the Empire also needs to have its own ports all over the world.
Therefore, while transporting oil back from the Middle East, the Empire also established its own port strategy step by step.
On the map, Cui Shang'an's port planning has made a detour along Africa, which is also something that we can't do at present, because the Suez Canal has not been excavated, so we can only make a detour along Africa.
In contemporary history, Napoleon ruled France dug through the Suez Canal, and then Britain and France jointly operated the Suez Canal, charging the merchant ships through the Suez Canal, so that they made a lot of money.
Thinking of this, he said: "the route to Africa is too long. The Empire wants to dig this canal and shorten the route from the Empire to Europe."
Cui Shangan looks at the place where Xiao Ming points his finger. This place is within the territory of the Ottoman Empire, which is the connecting point between the Middle East and Africa.
Stunned for a moment, Cui Shangan said, "it's just the emperor. It seems that this is the territory of the Ottoman Empire. Does the emperor want to launch a war against the Ottoman Empire? "
" now that Persia is fighting for the Empire, why should the Empire fight? " Xiao Ming had his own idea. In his plan, once Persia defeated the Ottoman Empire, he would ask for land from the Ottoman Empire.
At that time, the Empire will ask Persia to take down this land, and then the Empire will get it from Persia. In this way, the Empire will get the Suez Canal area without fighting.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming said what he thought.
Cui Shangan nodded, "this method is feasible, but now the war between Persia and Ottoman has not been divided, and the European countries will not easily give up the plan to disturb the Empire's westward advance. If they want to make the war divided as soon as possible, the Empire will have to directly intervene."
Xiao Ming frowned and refused to compromise with Britain on the war between Persia and Ottoman.
When Brooke goes back, the British are bound to get angry, and maybe even encourage mercenaries to fight in Osman.
According to intelligence, now that Britain has mastered the technology of afterloading gun and paper shell bullet, if they intervene forcibly, the war between Persia and Ottoman will inevitably add variables, which is not what he wants to see.Although the paper shell bullet has poor air tightness, lots of residues, and is easy to be wet, this kind of rifle changed the European way of fighting.
Since then, the line battle has gone forever. In the war, there will never be a whole line of British people queuing up to target machine guns.
"Send a batch of machine guns to Persia, train a batch of machine gunners for Persia, and send snipers to help them shoot Ottoman's officers." Xiao Ming said.
Although they were two big powers in Central Asia, the Ottoman Empire was stronger than the Persian Empire in overall strength.
This is also the reason why Persia had imperial weapons and the war was still in a state of anxiety.
Cui Shangan understood that Xiao Ming was losing patience. After all, the later he came, the more likely Europe was to send mercenaries.
"This will be arranged." Cui Shangan dials the phone, orders a batch of machine guns and ammunition from the military fire depot, and sends machine gunners to Persia.
Hung up the phone, Cui Shangan said: "did the emperor give this batch of machine robbers to Persia like this?"
"It's a loan to Persia to return them to the empire after the war." Xiao Ming said that after the war, Persia's strength is bound to increase greatly, and Osman will not recover for a long time.
If Persia still holds the machine gun, Osman will be finished. Who will control this huge empire across Asia, Africa and Europe? I'm afraid the Empire's oil will not be so easy to obtain.
Cui Shang'an deeply believed that, after all, machine guns were common in the Empire, but in the Persian Empire, it was basically a direct transition from cold weapons to hot weapons, and the impact would not be small.
