(Recently, I can't lift my spirits, and it wasn't until today that my nose was blocked, and the upper layer of my mouth was a little sore and dry, and I suddenly realized that I had a cold, or a cold with an incubation period of several days.) ）

"This is what Zhang Hao said?" Liu Xinyu looked at Yu Jian and had been thinking about it for two whole days.

In the jade slip, Zhang Hao explained in detail the benefits of proper disclosure of oil refining technology, and even the necessity and even necessity of making oil refining technology public.

There are two main points:

First, there is a big explosion of domestic technology, which needs energy to promote, and the appropriate disclosure of oil refining technology is conducive to promoting better domestic development.

If the energy is monopolized, the Ocean Group and the state can certainly reap huge benefits, but this kind of income is more like killing chickens and eggs, and it is a knocking out of the bones and marrow of the new industrial and commercial class.

But in fact, the current industrial and commercial class is full of calculations, and it has only been developing for a year and a half, and it is immature and pitiful, and it needs to be carefully cared for.

Therefore, Zhang Hao made a summary: for the sake of the interests of the country of Qixia, Dayang Group is willing to give up part of its interests.

There is also a second point: now we need to go out, our products, our influence, etc., we need to go out, especially now that the railway has begun to extend throughout the Xuanzhen Sect. If we can't promote the formation of a good industrial chain around us, it is self-isolation from the market.

For business and industry, technology is important, but the market is even more important. Technology can be continuously developed, but the market competition is the most brutal - once the first hand is lost, it takes several times the effort.

Now, the Ocean Group and the country of Qixia have maintained their advantage, and they must try their best to maintain this advantage and not let others rob the market.

Especially now that our warships are going to explore to the south, we need new bases and other refueling, etc., and there is no better way for the time being.

Finally, Zhang Hao mentioned in passing: In fact, our strength is still a little weak, and in the face of the forces of all parties, what we can do is to appropriately release some fat in exchange for the opportunity for our development. Until、We're strong enough!

If you are weak, you have to compromise. There's no way around it.

For example, Zhang Hao gave an example: The country of Qixia must have at least 10 completely belonging to its own god transformation period in order to gain enough right to speak!

Liu Xinyu asked, but there was no response around. Hu Yinglan knows her empress very well, she is just complaining, don't take it seriously.

Sure enough, after the empress finished complaining, she spoke again: "I am willing to give up my own interests for the sake of the country of Qixia, and I say that I am as if I am selfless."

Hum. Your Dayang Group's equipment can sell thousands of sets!

Hu Yinglan, when will the Ocean Group leave for Liuli Island?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's been the last few days. Today the Ocean Group tests new warships, and if there are no problems, it will depart in three or five days. ”

"You informed Zhang Hao, and said that when I set off, I would go and have a look.

A 30,000-ton warship. ”

The empress sighed with emotion, "The first time I met Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao told me that I wanted to build a land on the sea. Today, the warships of the Ocean Group are getting bigger and bigger, with a design displacement of 35,000 tons...... It's a yearning for it. ”

Hu Yinglan left, but Liu Xinyu summoned hundreds of officials to start a one-day court meeting. There are many, many things that you have discussed today.

The war in the East is the focus of everyone's attention.

There are people who are specifically responsible for intelligence in the East, who reported on the situation:

"Now, as Minister Zhou predicted, the war has counted into a kind of 'brutal stalemate'. At present, the country of Canglan and the country of Shaoze are allied, and the country of Langya, the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the country of the Northern Tang Dynasty are allied.

Among them, the countries of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the countries of the Northern Tang Dynasty fought under the pressure of the Loose faction, and they were somewhat negative. ”

"Because of the diffusion of technology, no one on either side dares to venture now. Artillery has become the main force on the battlefield on both sides. In the past few days, half of the military equipment we have sold to the country of Canglan and Shaoze is artillery shells.

The current situation of the war is that the two sides are fighting with artillery shells every day, and the actual hand-to-hand combat has only happened twice, and the total size is only 350,000 men.

And these two hand-to-hand encounters, both sides suffered heavy casualties. Under the attack of formations, artillery, ballistas, etc., the side that takes the initiative to attack will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and there is no exception!

In addition, in order to protect against artillery shells, etc., the two fronts were shrouded in multiple layers of enchantments almost all the time. The range of the enchantment spreads for hundreds of miles and thousands of miles, and the lower spirit stones consumed by both sides every day are tens of millions, the number of medium-grade spirit stones is hundreds of thousands, and the number of high-grade spirit stones is tens of thousands.

According to our observations and statistics, the country of Shaoze consumes pills, ammunition, grain and grass, spirit stones, etc., every day, at a cost of about 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.

From the war to the present, the country of Shaoze has invested at least 1.8 million high-grade spirit stones.

In addition, there is the country of Canglan, and the battle between the country of Canglan and the country of Langya is mainly a battle on the sea and the seaside. But now that the technology of the Xuantie warship in the country of Langya is becoming more and more mature, the country of Canglan has been somewhat defeated. The war was fought very hard.

However, the country of Langya is also not comfortable, and now nearly half of the country has fallen. Fighting at sea also led to the disruption of maritime trade.

And because of the continuous wars, coupled with the research of the Xuantie warship, etc., the foundation of the country of Langya has almost been emptied, and now it is almost entirely dependent on the blood transfusion of the free faction.

However, the almost desperate research of the country of Langya has caused the technology of the Xuantie warship to explode. The latest news shows that the country of Langya has completed the basic warship industry line, and they are already researching 10,000-ton warships.

According to the information we secretly discovered, it seems that the country of Langya has also studied welding technology, and it has also been researched with the support of the Xiaoyao faction. ”

After a pause, the intelligence officer added: "Your Majesty, there is one thing that must be reported to you: according to all the current indications, the Langya Country, or the free faction behind the Langya Country, has basically absorbed the current industrial and commercial ideas and technologies.

In this war, the industry and commerce of the country of Canglan and Shaoze were also developing rapidly. Because of the development of industry and commerce, although the losses on the battlefield on both sides are great, the country is also actively developing, significantly exceeding the battlefield losses.

In other words, if the two sides continue according to the current state of affairs, the war can last for a long, long time!"

The hall was solemn, and everyone's worst fears finally came true. No, it's more severe than feared.

"Can we develop while fighting?" Liu Xinyu's eyes were deep, "The potential of industry and commerce seems to be a bit beyond imagination, it seems that we are still too conservative."

Recently, the country of green clouds has been making small moves, and it seems to be uniting with several countries in the north. ”

When Wu Fanghai heard Liu Xinyu say this, he immediately looked worried: "Your Majesty! We are different from the country of Shaoze and the country of Canglan.

The country of Canglan has a strong heritage, and although the country of Shaoze has just been unified, it was a country before all. But we are different, we have just been united, and it is a territory that did not belong to us in the past. And we have been on the eastward expedition in the past, and there is very little accumulation in the country.

Your Majesty, we should seek stability.

As for the country of green clouds, Zhang Hao mentioned the trade war, and the effect has been initially revealed, as long as we stick to it.

The current country of Qixia is better than being still. ”

Prime Minister Zhao Duo also came out to persuade us, for the time being, we can't stand the toss, Your Majesty, stop it.

Liu Xinyu's eyes wandered, and finally looked at Zhou Jue, Zhou Jue has been in the court for a period of time, and now the household department is very busy.

Nowadays, the functions of the household department have increased, and in addition to the previous state finances, demographic statistics have also been added. Zhou Jue was so busy that he was spinning.

Zhou Jue saw Liu Xinyu's eyes and immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, once there is a war, our current situation will be destroyed."

In fact, the reason why we are moving so fast now is because we have a bit of a 'neutral' relationship. Even in the previous wars, there was an element of counterattack, rather than taking the initiative to attack and provoke wars.

As soon as we engage directly and actively in the war, our current situation will be broken.

We need to maintain this situation, if we can always step out of the confines of war, remain neutral and single-mindedly develop ourselves. ”

Liu Xinyu listened and nodded slowly, "Yes, what you said makes sense! So, will we strengthen foreign trade next?"

Zhou Jue said: "Yes, especially to strengthen the trade export to the scope of the Xiaoyao faction, and use high-quality and low-cost commodities to impact the industrial and commercial development of the Xiaoyao faction."

It is inconvenient for us to communicate directly with the Easy Sect, but we can use the power of Jiuzhen Tower, that is, West Kunlun.

Of course, if you can, it would be best to inform the Xuanzhen Sect that we will work with the Xuanzhen Sect to carry out a dumping trade with the Xiaoyao Sect.

Recently, our industry and commerce have developed rapidly, and the textile factory is about to be put into production, and our Xuantie, pills, etc., are of better quality and lower price. Our steel can be used in many refining workshops.

If we can dump a large number of low-grade pills, Xuantie, etc., we can exchange a large amount of medicinal materials and resources from the scope of the Loose Sect. In the long run, it can destroy the refining ability of low-level pills within the scope of the Easy Sect.

Low-grade elixirs are the foundation of cultivation. Once something goes wrong with the low-level elixir, the entire cultivation system will be affected. ”

Liu Xinyu smiled, "In order to prevent me from starting a war, you really took great pains to calculate the free faction." ”

"Hehe......" Zhou Jue smiled.

Anyway, everyone is against war, but everyone also understands that this empress of their own family does not seem to be a peaceful lord, and if you don't find something to do for her, she can't really stir up a war. At least, the Empress is very 'concerned' about the northern countries.

The countries in the north are relatively weak, and with the ability of the current Qixia Country, it is really possible to defeat them. However, the current country of Qixia has aroused the vigilance of the Xuanzhen Sect, so take it easy.

There is not enough transformation period, so the current country of Qixia should be honest.

............

While Liu Xinyu was discussing, the tests of the Seaside and the Arctic Ocean had already begun.

When the battleship was designed, it had a standard displacement of 35,000 tons, but because of the lack of experience, the actual standard displacement was 34,000 tons, but the full load displacement was as high as 38,000 tons - close to the 40,000-ton standard.

With a length of 270 meters and a width of 32 meters, the steel battleship is a real behemoth. Even the 20,000-ton Zhenyuan battleship looks one-third smaller compared to it.

The Zhenyuan battleship is 210 meters long, but in terms of visual senses, it feels almost a third smaller than the new Arctic Ocean.

The length of 210 meters, and the length of 270 meters, are different concepts. At first glance, 210 meters can still be shrouded by the line of sight, but at 270 meters long, parked near the port, you can't see it at a glance - the visual and psychological impact is even more significant!

Whether it is the length, width, or height of the superstructure, there is a significant difference between the two.

Psychologically speaking, the Arctic Ocean can be called sea and land.

In particular, the main guns of the Arctic Ocean have been replaced with twin and 550-millimeter cannons! Zhang Hao frantically tested the theory of the giant ship's cannon on his own warship.

It must be admitted that before the missiles and so on, the giant ship cannon is the truth.

The new Arctic Ocean, with high-quality steel plates with armor up to 500 mm, and the flying sword of the Transformation Period slashed on the armor, can only leave a spark.

If there's one thing the Arctic Ocean falls short of, it's speed. The size of the battleship has increased, but the power technology has not kept up, so that the ordinary speed of the Arctic Ocean is only 72 kilometers, which is two kilometers slower than the Zhenyuan battleship.

The 120% load speed is only 76 km/h, which is slower than the 79 km/h of the Zhenyuan.

After opening the formation assistance, the maximum speed is only 126 kilometers, which is slower than the limit speed of the Zhenyuan at 130 kilometers.

However, this flaw does not hide the success and shock caused by the Arctic Ocean.

The battleship accelerated little by little, and countless cheers erupted from the shore.

"This is your new battleship!" Hua Baixiang suddenly appeared beside Zhang Hao, his shoulder almost leaned on Zhang Hao's shoulder, Zhang Hao could even feel the softness on Hua Baixiang's body, and the faint fragrance of flowers wafted into Zhang Hao's nostrils.

Seeing Hua Baixiang's enchanting and plump body out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Hao only felt that his heart was a little hot. This woman is a real goblin! Compared with Zhou Xueyao, she is just a young little girl.

But this woman is also very dangerous! Zhang Hao quickly collected his mood, and his tone was a little unpolite: "Why didn't you leave? This morning, the fleet went south, I remember that you also boarded the ship, right?"

"Oh...... I thought about it, but I still can't bear you~ So the boat went to the sea, and I flew back again. Hua Baixiang's tone was glutinous, with a faint hint of sneer. This woman seems to be particularly fond of molesting Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao had a black line, and for the first time, he hated that cultivators could fly around. You've run away from the sea, and you can still fly back! Why is that silver-horned king in the sea so honest?

In fact, if the Silver Horn King were here, he would have said: I am frightened by the madness of your humans.

Zhang Hao ignored Hua Baixiang and continued to observe the battleship. He felt that it was better for this woman to be left aside.

I didn't want to spend Baixiang but didn't let go of Zhang Hao, squeezed Zhang Hao on my shoulder, and exhaled like an orchid: "I heard that your Arctic Ocean battleship is going to the north?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Hao replied unhappily.

"Oh, I want to go north too. Ever since I learned about Jiyuan, I've been curious. By the way, I saw Zhao Dahe's 'Tianyuan Star Demonstration Ball', according to Zhao Dahe's calculations, the country of Qixia to the north, oh the North Pole, is about 68,000 kilometers.

68,000 kilometers, if the battleship is loaded with less shells and more fuel, there is still a good hope that the West will arrive.

I want to go to the North Pole. ”

Zhang Hao rolled his eyes: "Don't even think about it, now that the battleship has gone to the North Pole, there is not enough fuel to return at all." And the situation in the north is even more dangerous.

We are going to spend three years exploring the Arctic little by little. ”

"Then I'm going to Liuli Island!" Hua Baixiang immediately changed her words.
