From Propulsion City To Multiverse

Song Que's evaluation of the Human Revolutionary League is getting higher and higher in his heart. After all, hearing is believing, seeing is believing.

Before that, he only learned about the situation of the Human Revolutionary League through the Song Clan spies, Song Shidao, Song Lu and others, and had not experienced it himself.

Now he has agreed that the CRRU can rule the world, and it's all a matter of time.

For the Song Clan, now is a very critical time point. Since you want to join the Human Revolutionary League, you should join as soon as possible.

Regarding the internal arrangements of the Song Clan, Song Que also made the most sensible choice. After completing the handover work in Lingnan, he will take the initiative to disband the family and implement a thorough separation.

His own family decided to move to Daliuqiu to avoid too much concentration of Song's children in Lingnan.

As a wise person, Song Que could have given up fighting for the world in the original timeline and returned to Lingnan on his own initiative.

Now facing the Human Revolutionary Union, he also made the most sensible choice. Even if the family is disbanded, will the Song family perish?

On the contrary, for the Song Clan, if they resisted the Human Revolutionary Union forcefully, it would be a real catastrophe.

Now it is broken into parts and absorbed by the Human Revolutionary Union, which is beneficial to the development of the Song clan.

Compared with those aristocratic families in the Central Plains and Jiangnan who couldn't see the situation clearly, Song Que was rarely sober in the world.

After inspecting a large number of factories in Tamsui City, Song Que admired the Human Revolutionary Alliance more and more, especially the founders Zheng Sen, Long Sha and others. After all, they have such huge strength and can still maintain restraint. This is very difficult for Song Que. imagination.

On Danshui Port, Long Sha took Song Que aboard the battleship Roar.

woo woo woo...

During the whistle, a puff of black smoke rose from the chimney, and then turned to white smoke, and the Roar headed north against the wind. .

The power of machinery can go against the sky. Song Que looked at the chimney, feeling as if he had passed away.

Long Sha looked calm: This is just a trivial matter. In the future, our ships will become larger and larger. Wooden ships are already the limit. Next, we will use steel to build the hull.

Song Que has no doubts about steel shipbuilding. After all, there are giant ships that can sail without wind power. Moreover, the Human Revolutionary Union and cement have built ships. In his eyes, steel shipbuilding is a possible future.

The Roar was getting faster and faster, circling the coastline, sailing towards Keelung.

along the way,

They encountered not a few transport ships, most of which were sailing ships.

A total of 6 ships of the Roaring class have been built, 4 of which are used as transport ships, and the remaining 2 are incorporated into the Yangtze River Squadron and the Second East China Sea Fleet.

And the next batch of Roaring Class is already in full swing.

There may be a lack of other things in Daliu, but there are a lot of towering trees. During the process of immigration and development in various places, tree species suitable for shipbuilding will be cut down according to their diameter, and then used as the original funds for land reclamation.

Currently, the Tamsui Shipyard has enough timbers to build 35 Roaring Class ships, and the timber reserves are continuously increasing.

Although the wooden boat consumes a lot of big trees, there is no need to worry about the resources of the big trees being exhausted in a short time.

Moreover, the Human Revolutionary Union is only a wooden boat as a transition, and the main materials for shipbuilding in the future will be cement and steel.

The roaring class should be the last class of wooden ships.

After all, after the displacement of a wooden ship exceeds 2,000 tons, due to material performance problems, not only giant logs are needed, the structure will become bloated, and the construction period will be further increased.

According to the comprehensive performance of wood, the displacement is about 3,500 tons, which is basically the limit of wooden ships.

Of course, Chinese-style building ships can be built even larger, with a limit of about 5,000 tons.

The problem is that the speed of building ships is too low, and they can only sail in inland rivers and coastal waters, and the cost performance is too low.

Instead of wasting wood to build large wooden boats, it is better to build a large number of inland and offshore cement boats, and then install steam engines. Cement boats under 300 tons can navigate a lot of waterways in inland rivers.

For example, if you want to enter the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in the future, the most suitable route is not to take the Yangtze River waterway, nor the plank road in Hanzhong, but the Pearl River-Xijiang, Honghe-Yuanjiang waterway.

From the perspective of cost performance, the comprehensive cost and transportation efficiency of inland waterway transportation are the best.

Even with the railway, water transport is still the most cost-effective.

Now that the southern water network is densely covered, the development of water transportation has more advantages than railways.

After the high-horsepower steam engine is installed, the steamboat can be used as a tugboat to tow six 288-ton cement ships to form a transportation system similar to a water train.

The width of the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty was enough for steam ships to sail.

In particular, the Jiangnan and Jianghuai canals have a river surface width of 40-50 meters all year round. Some of them have natural river courses and lake routes, and even flat-bottomed sand boats with a displacement of thousands of tons can pass.

It would be reckless to not use these canals.

The centipede-style steam cement carrier can completely use the locomotive plan to pull a series of ships forward.

Anyway, the current speed of ships is not fast, so there is no need to worry about collisions. As long as more anti-collision push rods and brake anchors are prepared when designing transport ships, the water train solution is completely feasible.

...

Long Sha and Song Que came to Keelung Port in a low-key manner.

This RULE heavy industry city is currently the largest coal, copper smelting, manganese smelting, nitric acid, and cement manufacturing base in the RULE territory.

Although Lonza attaches great importance to the treatment of industrial waste gas, waste water and residue, there are still a small amount of harmful components in the continuously spewed smoke.

Fortunately, the sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide in the exhaust gas will be used to extract sulfuric acid and nitric acid, so there is no acid rain in Keelung.

Moreover, in order to reduce industrial pollution, agricultural production is not allowed around the Keelung Industrial Zone. Instead, a large number of flowers and trees are planted, all of which can purify the air and are resistant to pollution.

This is one of the advantages of government-run industries. In many things, costs can be ignored, unlike private companies that are only interested in profit.

For example, in the current asbestos mining fields, because many heavy industries in the Human Revolutionary Association need fire-resistant cloth (that is, fireproof cloth) as protective clothing for workers, and it is difficult to find substitutes for asbestos at this stage, asbestos has to be mined.

Although Longsha uses the least harmful chrysotile, the harm to the human body is still extremely terrifying.

Therefore, the mines mining asbestos not only adopt all-round closed operations, but also have extremely comprehensive protection for miners, not only filter gas masks, but also full-body whale skin protective clothing. The mines also continuously sprinkle water to reduce dust.

After mining, the workers have to wear protective clothing and masks, and go through a comprehensive cleaning in the shower room.

Then enter a special locker room and take off the protective clothing. The protective clothing will be sent for a second cleaning, and the miners will take a second bath.

And the asbestos processing factory has similar protection management.

This is the advantage of government-run factories, which can be done regardless of cost. If private companies mine asbestos and manufacture fireproof cloth, they don't care about the lives of workers.

If it weren't for the lack of alternative materials, Longsha would not use asbestos.

For the manufactured fireproof cloth, the management is also extremely strict. Before the fireproof cloth ages, the fireproof cloth will be recycled and then destroyed in a centralized manner (high temperature melting).

In terms of industrial pollution control, the Human Revolutionary Union has tried its best to deal with it. From the beginning, strict management and technical treatment have not caused serious industrial pollution problems.

After all, if you let it go now, the price you have to pay may be hundreds or even thousands of times, and it will have irreparable consequences on the lives and health of the people.

Long Sha, Zheng Sen and others are not the first generation of chemists, but superhumans with rich experience, and they will not make the mistake of polluting first and then treating.

For example, the exhaust of steel plants will recover waste heat, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, etc. The waste residue can be sent to cement making, and the waste liquid will pass through chemical sedimentation and multiple filtration.

The conditions of the Human Revolutionary League are actually better than those of Huaguo in the 20th century, and the external conditions are also different.

Now that the Human Revolutionary Alliance is industrializing and has rich experience in industrial construction, it can naturally avoid many big pits.

Valley scorpion

Wearing protective clothing, Song Que looked at the large vat of slightly smoking liquid in the copper-clad ceramic tank.

This is concentrated nitric acid, one of the raw materials for making explosives.

Chemistry is really amazing.

Long Sha explained: This thing can also be used as fertilizer.

Fertilizer? Song Que was puzzled.

Things that can increase crop production are similar to manure, but the effect is more efficient and faster. Reasonable use of chemical fertilizers per acre of Champa rice can increase the yield by a couple of times.

Double production? Song Que's world view was refreshed again.

Long Sha suggested: Would you like to go to the new immigrant village near Keelung? There should be Champa rice that is just about to be harvested.

it is good.

After leaving the chemical plant, the carriage headed west.

Passing Hegu Village, Song Que opened the curtains and looked at the fields of soybeans, the poles were already full of fruitful pods.

This is a village established at the beginning of last year. The next village was immigrated in September last year. Their Champa rice is almost ready to be harvested.

Unknowingly, they walked another three kilometers, and the carriage stopped at the village gate of Hegu West Village.

Militia Captain Li Guangzong and others are leading the militiamen to harvest Champa rice on the farmland.

Long Sha didn't disturb the others, she just sent someone to let the preaching officer of the village go on as usual, and she brought Song Que to a rice field.

The temperature in Keelung in February is already very high, around 26 degrees Celsius at noon. In East Asia in this era, the zero-degree isotherm is on the line of the Yellow River.

Almost 90% of Liuqiu's area is in the tropics, and Keelung is in the subtropics, and it is not obvious. The winter is similar to that of Lingnan in later generations.

Therefore, Champa rice can be planted throughout the year in Liuqiu.

Looking at the golden ears of rice, Song Que knew that this area of ​​Champa had a very good yield of rice without weighing it.

Song Que smiled and shook his head:

No wonder you are willing to occupy places such as Liuqiu and Jian'an first. Champa rice can be grown three times a year in the southern land, and the production of chemical fertilizers can be increased. As long as the southern land is well developed, the grain produced by one mu of land is equivalent to six mu of northern land. The grain of the world, why worry about uncertainty.

Long Sha did not deny it, she talked about some of the situation last year:

Liuqiu's food production last year was really good. The 1.15 million mu of rice fields produced a total of 3.25 million shi of rice and 960,000 shi of beans.

How much is the official treasury? Song Que asked with concern.

Long Sha converted the units: The rice is about 1.27 million shi, and the beans are 520,000 shi.

Song Que fell silent. He knew that if there were no revolutionaries, the landlords would eat the food, and the peasants would not even think about food and clothing.

When he came to the village, he looked at the cement warehouse built by the villagers, and some dried rice was piled up in the warehouse.

In the past, this kind of scene could only appear in the home of the landlord.

Long Sha rarely heard a sentence from Wen Zou Zou: In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people.

Hearing this line of the poem, Song Que was taken aback for a moment, then looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: Hahaha... This is the great unity of the world, I agree with you.

Long Sha shook her head: The great cause of humanity has not yet been successful, and it cannot be called the Great Harmony of the World.

To be able to witness the coming of such a great cause, I, Song Que, will not be in vain in this life, so let me do my part! Song Que has already decided to join.

Welcome, we can call each other comrades in the future.

Comrade...are you like-minded? Song Que immediately understood the meaning of this title.

Following Song Que's official decision to join the Human Revolutionary Union, he visited Keelung for two days, and then took a steamboat to Jian'an Mansion, where he met Tang Feilin, who lives in Southeast Prefecture.

The two quickly communicated.

For Song Que's voluntary refuge and his cooperation, Tang Feilin also reciprocated.

Song Que was appointed Deputy Minister of the Military Department, Song Zhi was appointed Governor of Guangnan Prefecture, and Song Lu was appointed Deputy Governor of Lingnan Prefecture.

Guangnan Prefecture is now Guidi and Yuebei.

Lingnan Prefecture is the land of Guangdong except eastern Guangdong, plus Qiongzhou Island.

This restructuring work will be completed in the next three months. Song Que is temporarily in charge of the military in Lingnan and Guangnan.

In order to ensure a safe and stable transition in Lingnan, Zheng Sen transferred Hao Jian there, plus Song Que, two great masters, a large group of Kodao warriors, and the Liuqiu Squadron to help out.

If there are still waves in Lingnan, then Zheng Sen will doubt the abilities of Zheng Sen and Hao Jian.

After the secretive Song Que reunited with Hao Jian who was going south, he felt the fear of the Human Revolutionary League, another master of the Grand Master level.

Moreover, each of the more than 300 black-clothed guards started as a second-rate master, and with their firearms, with this strength, the Human Revolutionary League could severely damage Lingnan.

Song Que felt extremely lucky for what he had now.

After the two reunited, they quickly returned to Panyu with the Liuqiu Squadron.

As soon as he returned to Panyu, Song Que received a letter from Song Zhi.

It seems that Comrade Song Zhi is very efficient! Hao Jian joked with a smile.

Song Zhi's speed was indeed very fast. Song had only been away from Lingnan for more than ten days. He held the Lingnan League in Yulin County, and then with the 20,000 troops in his hand, he suppressed hundreds of thousands of tribal soldiers.

Song Zhi killed 23 of the 35 big chieftains in various parts of Lingnan on the spot, and the remaining 12 have been escorted to Panyu for house arrest.

The soldiers brought by the chieftain were initially controlled by Song Zhi.

After all, the system of dividing land and mu catty tax was a huge temptation for ordinary people in the feudal era.

Most of the chieftain's subordinates are poor ghosts. In ancient times, all places were the same. It is not the patent of the Central Plains that good men do not serve as soldiers.

In the tribe, these low-level soldiers are the personal belongings of the chieftain nobles, and they will not be the chief soldiers unless they are poor.

Song Zhi's strategy was very precise. He dealt with the nobles and landlord-born military officers with thunderous means. As long as the remaining top soldiers did a good job in propaganda, they could win over a large part of them.

With the arrival of the more professional Hao Jian, chieftains from all over Lingnan entered the countdown to destruction.

Song Que personally sits in Panyu to stabilize the whole of Lingnan.

Hao Jian and Song Zhi led their subordinates to carry out a large-scale cleansing of Guangnan Prefecture, which has a lot of chieftains.

As for the Qiongren chieftain on Qiongzhou Island, he was the most cowardly this time, so Qiongzhou Island was not cleaned up, but five local chieftains were placed under house arrest.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about troubles in Qiongzhou. After all, this place is surrounded by the sea, and there is no room for resistance in the face of the powerful navy.

Due to the inconvenient transportation of this era and the chaos in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, the matter of Lingnan being annexed by the People's Revolutionary Union did not spread to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River until a month later.

At this time, the situation in Lingnan had been controlled by Hao Jian and Song Que.

The heroes in the south of the Yangtze River had no way to take advantage of the fire to loot, not to mention another major event happened in the south of the Yangtze River at this time, which caused further turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River.
