Chapter 1352： A new round of thinking on the direction of scientific and technological development

  Chapter 1352 Reflections on the direction of a new round of technological development

   When Qu Mao returned to the Holy Land of King Yi from Twin Islands halfway, he landed directly at Fukumura Shipyard on Outlying Islands, inspected the ironclad ship R&D team of Fukushima Shipyard, and then went directly to the Power Research Institute on Outlying Islands.

  After visiting the Outlying Island Power Research Institute, he followed Kong Ming to visit the Outlying Island Mechanical Research Institute.

During the visit, Qu Mao shared his own knowledge about fixed pulleys and movable pulleys. Therefore, after leaving the outlying island mechanical research institute, Qu Mao had already detailed all the cheating technologies in the cheating system on the way back to the lord’s cabin on Yidao Island. After researching it, I bought all the existing technical drawings and manufacturing drawings.

   Even if there is no subversive technology in the cheating technology column, Qu Mao has purchased all of them. The main reason may be that the accumulation of King Yi's territory is not enough.

However, in the cheating military column, Qu Mao found a grid with a total of 999 front-loading muskets. Although this type of original gunpowder weapon has not been used in King Yi's territory for a long time, as the first gunpowder weapon that appeared, Qu Mao Mao thought that Fuzhi could still use it, so he bought the 999 front-loading muskets without hesitation. Even such a simple musket needs 1500 cheating points.

Put the 999 front-loading muskets into a packing bag, and after returning to the lord's hut, Qu Mao immediately traded the packing bag to Su Qiaoer, so that Su Qiaoer could sell it to Fu Lu Empire's Fu Lu in the next market transaction. to.

  When Su Qiaoer asked about the price, Qu Mao just told Su Qiaoer that the price of the gun was about 15,000 gold coins a piece.

The Fulu Empire generally does not let Qu Mao suffer from gold coins in market transactions, but the territory of King Yi is not short of gold coins now, and the number of gold coins in the account of the territory of King Yi alone has reached 10 billion gold coins, of course it is normal Next, Fuzhi will not let Qu Mao suffer from gold coins.

  Received a small amount of muskets and artillery supported by King Yi's territory, as well as a steady stream of bullets, shells, mines and grenades, the Fulu Empire's offensive on the western continent was very rapid, so the number of gold coins obtained was also large.

After making arrangements with Su Qiaoer, Qu Mao went back to his bedroom on the fourth floor of the lord's hut. While Su Yan, Mo Yangqiao and Liu Qianhui were away, he quietly stayed in his bedroom and thought about the new round of King Yi's territory. The direction of technological development.

For now, although the number of factories in the Holy Land of King Yi is very large, the main power system for production is either water power, wind power, or even manpower. The application of mechanical power and steam power is not high, let alone other It can only be said that it is a slightly more advanced industrial system than the manual workshop, and it is not a real industry.

  As for the current focus of development, military technology mainly includes submachine guns, machine guns and other burst firearms and burst artillery, etc. The solution to minefields can only be regarded as a branch direction.

  In terms of equipment, there are mainly steel chariots and ironclad ships, but both of them are currently subject to the research and development of internal combustion engines. Although the internal combustion engine research and development project has been established for more than two years, there has been no substantial progress so far.

  In terms of civil science and technology, the power system is still in the theoretical research stage. Qu Mao and Kong Ming have opened electrical majors in many universities, but the theoretical things have not been understood yet, let alone the power application.

  The civilian use of gunpowder and the civilian use of steam engines are still the mainstream direction of civil industry and technological development in Yiwang's territory. As for power system and automation, the discussion in the education circle is relatively hot, and the practical field is general.

The education that Qu Mao paid attention to very early on has only now entered a state of full bloom. There are nearly 100 universities in the holy land of King Yi’s territory, and nearly 60 universities have been built on the eastern peninsula of the Eastern Gulf Bay and the main continent in the western part of the Gulf. university.

For the total population of 30 billion residents in Yiwang Territory, the mere 160 universities will definitely not be able to meet the needs of high-end talent training. However, the Continent for Hegemony is still mainly in the traditional economic state of slash-and-burn farming. Many residents only need to eat enough. There is no additional pursuit, so the high-quality talents trained by 160 universities are basically enough.

  In this state of competition, as long as the food production can keep up, no matter how large the population is, there will be no problems.

  Thinking of education, Qu Mao thinks that the higher education in King Yi's territory will have to continue to develop for more than ten years before it can meet the explosive development of technology and industry that may appear in the future.

As for the industrial development on the main continent in the west of the East Continent Bay, there are actually only three core industrial areas at present. One is within a radius of 300 kilometers from Shacheng, and the second is the area along the southeast coast in the west of the East Continent Bay. The industrial park of pure reinforced concrete buildings was built, and the third is the independent territory newly captured by Chafidel in the northwest region of the Principality of Pengda.

  This independent territory is actually not within the scope of the development of King Yi's territory, but because these independent territories are very rich in metal mineral resources, and they do not exist in the form of wild resource mines, but in the form of primitive mines.

  So some private mine owners and entrepreneurs in the metallurgical industry in King Yi's territory developed this area spontaneously. Although it has been less than a year, they have developed this area to a decent level.

  Industries are mainly concentrated in metal ore mining, metallurgy, and upstream and downstream industrial chains.

  The industry in the Holy Land is mainly concentrated in the four southern industrial islands and Jidao. Although Zhongdao is further south, the development investment is insufficient, so it is not as developed as Jidao's industry.

  The research institutes of the universities in the holy land of King Yi's territory have basically been concentrated by Qu Mao in a relatively large reserved folding space on the empty island, but they don't take up too much land in the university.

  Currently, the cheating system does not give Qu Mao the direction of future technological development, and Qu Mao himself can't think of a reason.

  So after a few days of quiet thinking, Qu Mao decided to give up and continue thinking. It is better to let things take their course.

  Because Qu Mao believes that even if he continues to urge him, if there is no opportunity to trigger the explosive development of technology and industry, it is basically useless.

  Qu Mao once stayed in Liandao and Bodao for several years, and went deep into the front line of technological and industrial development, but his achievements were still limited.

  And there are no new materials or new energy sources that can trigger the development of science and technology in the "Island of Yi Weekly" in the near future. We can only let the technology of King Yi's territory develop freely.

  Thinking of these problems, Qu Mao began to feel a little anxious again, but anxiety was useless.
