The breeze tugs at the robe, and the golden sunlight blows on the face.

Standing in front of the imperial study, Xiao Ming looked at the scenery outside and sighed: "Actually, in the final analysis, my purpose in doing this is to strengthen the cultural identity of the colony to the empire, I am not worried that they will become independent in the future, I am worried that one day they will forget their history and culture and regard their brothers as enemies." ”

Qian Dafu pondered for a while when he heard this, and said: "The emperor's worries are not unreasonable, if some people forget their ancestors in the future, forget the blood flowing in their bodies, this is really terrible, if so, it is extremely important to leave royal blood in the colony, at least the royal family will not forget their own history." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, this was the purpose of his doing so at the risk of being opposed by his ministers, after all, in contemporary history, whether it was Goryeo, Wa or Annam, their ancestors all came from the land of China.

But the evolution of time has made them the enemies of China, and this kind of de-culture is a very terrible thing.

The first generation may remember where they came from and their own history, but after a few generations of culture, they will completely forget and become a group of complete strangers.

Therefore, in order to reduce this possibility, he would strictly require the education of imperial history in colonial education.

But at the same time, he would make the royal a symbol of the colony, just as the modern Queen of England is to the United Kingdom.

The main royal bloodline exists, and the people will not forget its history.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming became even more determined in his thoughts, no matter where the imperial system goes in the future, the royal family will be engraved on the wheel of history as a symbol of the empire.

The two were talking when the phone rang.

After answering the phone, the contemplative expression on Xiao Ming's face turned into joy, and he hung up the phone and said to Qian Dafu: "It seems that the industry of the empire is going to go further, and the Instrument Division has successfully manufactured a series of lathes with an accuracy of the meter level. “

"Kumi? Is it a tenth-point meter? "Qian Dafu said with some uncertainty that he didn't know much about industry.

"Yes, it's equivalent to 0.01 millimeters, and with this kind of high-precision lathe, the industrial goods that the empire can manufacture will be more complex." Xiao Ming said happily.

In his view, a country's industrial capacity lies in energy, and the second lies in lathes, because only with these two technologies can Hu be transformed into industrial products.

"0.01 mm, how small is that?" Qian Dafu couldn't help laughing.

"Just check it out." Xiao Ming walked out, followed by Qian Dafu.

The former Equipment Division has now become the Empire's Lathe Research Center, and Zhang Liu is now the manager of the Equipment Division.

After the two arrived at the equipment department, they saw a variety of lathes in the factory area of the equipment department, including milling machines, drilling machines, grinding machines, gear processing machine tools and so on.

"Your Majesty, this is a complete set of Humi-class lathes." Zhang Liu said.

Today's Zhang Liu's black hair has added a few silver whites, and the passage of time has left traces of time on his face.

Xiao Ming walked in front of these machines one by one, as if he saw the future of the empire.

First of all, we use the silk meter lathe to produce the tools required by the mill level, but the thread meter level lathe can only get the mill level tool, and the tool needs to be crafted to make the tool reach the mill level, and sometimes the carving of a tool takes several months." Zhang Liuwu said with emotion.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, it is a miracle that the development of the empire industry for more than 20 years can reach this level.

Because just from the manufacture of machine tools, it can be seen that building an industry from scratch requires a step by step, after all, the empire has no way to obtain ready-made industrial goods from other countries, especially lathes.

"This machine tool is not easy, but now you can not relax, the accuracy requirements of the lathe are unlimited, and the silk rice is just the beginning, but your credit is also obvious, with this batch of machine tools, you can industrialize the production of sub-machines." Xiao Ming said.

Zhang Liu smiled, the leap from silk rice to humi, in fact, the first batch of lathe mother machines is the most difficult.

However, as long as this difficulty is overcome, the lathe mother machine can easily produce the same type of Humi lathe, which is the submachine.

"Industrial production can be done at any time." Zhang Liu is very confident.

Xiao Ming expressed his satisfaction, he immediately commended the personnel involved in the development of machine tools in the equipment department, just when the atmosphere was thick, suddenly there was a noisy sound outside the door of the equipment division.

It turned out that Chen Qi, Song Changping, Lin Wentao, Lu Tong and others rushed over when they heard the news.

"Zhang Liu, you must give the first batch of lathes to our machinery factory, now that we have thoroughly understood the technology of steam turbines, we are short of this precision lathe production accessories." Lin Wentao shouted before he could reach the front.

Chen Qi said: "If you want to give it to us, you will also give us the military industry, and now a large number of weapons are still on the drawings, just waiting for the production of precision machine tools?" Does it matter that this steam turbine can have howitzers? ”

"My automatic weapon is also urgent, don't fight ......"

The four of them went all the way, arguing all the way, and everyone wanted to get the precision machine tool as soon as possible.

Zhang Liu smiled bitterly, he didn't want to offend anyone, he just cast his eyes on Xiao Ming and motioned for them to ask the emperor.

Xiao Ming already had his own plan in his heart, in his opinion, the empire's current first priority is to develop the navy and improve the performance of warships.

Because the current empire can no longer stay on the land power, but also become a maritime power, after all, with the increase of colonies, the empire's interests overseas are becoming more and more important.

Without a strong navy, it would be impossible to exercise effective control over the colonies, nor would it be possible to exercise control over Europe.

So he said: "The first batch of lathes was handed over to Lin Wentao, and the steam turbine is the most urgent thing at present, if the steam turbine is successfully developed, the empire will be able to achieve a leap in both power generation and warship performance." “

Compared with the traditional steam engine, the steam turbine can be said to be an advanced steam engine, and the performance is not improved by a little bit, even in modern nuclear power plants and aircraft carriers.

Once the Empire built a steam turbine and put it into use, the Empire's warships were to be reborn, bringing the Empire into the era of the cannon giants of World War II.

Lin Wentao showed a smug look when he heard this, and he knew that he would win, because the steam turbine was so important.

Xiao Ming looked at the other three, and he said: "But you don't have to worry, now that you have a mother machine, the speed of production of the child machine will be very fast, even if it is late, you will not be a few days late." ”
