Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 714 Nothing to worry about

Taichang really didn't expect that the supply of steam engines in the Americas would be so troublesome.

New Liaoyang City has to report half a year in advance, so Xinma City must not report eight or even ten months in advance!

Doing this is really too late.

It's like he wants to build a new wood processing factory here. After planning, the shed should be built in less than a month, but if he wants to wait for enough steam engines to make sawing machines, he will have to wait at least half a year!
At this moment, a new wood processing plant is indeed going to be built here, and a rather large wood processing plant needs to be built.

Because a tree-cutting machine can cut thousands of trees a day, and these trees can be sawed into at least tens of thousands of logs that are about ten feet long, ten machines are more than one hundred thousand, and one hundred machines are more than one million.

That's just a day's worth.

The first batch of ten machines has already cut down hundreds of thousands of trees, and there are at least two million logs that are ten feet long. The logs on the construction site are really arranged right now. It's the same as a mountain range, a mountain range that is forty or fifty miles long!
So many round logs are useless if they are not sawn into squares or planks. Do they keep piling up there?
It can be piled up like this, and when one hundred trees and logs are gathered together, hundreds of thousands of trees can be cut down here in a day, that is, millions of logs that are about ten meters long in a day!
Moreover, these tree-cutting and logging machines have never stopped. After cutting down the trees on the Xinma City construction site, these tree-cutting and logging machines will be transported to other places to open roads or clear the site for other Indian tribal alliances to build cities.

In other words, even if you don't deliberately cut down trees here, there will be millions of logs that are more than one foot long every day.

These logs have to be sawed into squares and planks to build houses, household items, or boats, otherwise, they will pile up more and more, until the whole city of Xinma is full of piles. .

What will Xinma City look like by then, a city full of logs?
Isn't that a joke!
It seems that the supply method of this steam engine should be changed, and it can't be delivered in such a stuck quantity.

Taichang thought for a while, and then asked: "Yanru, how do you think the supply of steam engines is appropriate, is it better to supply them according to the quantity every month or to deliver them in advance so that there is some stock here?"

I don't think it's appropriate!

Peng Bin thought for a while, and then sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty, the demand for steam engines is too great now, especially in the Ming Dynasty, and the consumption will suddenly increase sharply at some point.

Just like two years ago, when the infantry fighting vehicles and trains were frantically manufactured because of the conquest beyond the Great Wall, the steam engine suddenly became tight, and it took two or three months to wait for the goods to arrive here.

Also when the Jinling Shipyard first started construction, the supply of steam engines here was suddenly cut off for several months.

Your majesty, I feel that it is a bit inappropriate to deliver goods across tens of thousands of miles. "

This means, build a steam engine factory here?
Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help frowning and thinking.

The reason why he kept the steam engine production stuck in the capital and the military city was to keep it secret.

Because the steam engine is simply an idea or a matter of inspiration.

The steam engine itself is not very difficult to build, the key is this inspiration.

Once you have an inspiration and think of a steam engine, it is not difficult to build it.

Therefore, at the beginning, he kept it strictly confidential. In order to prevent the technology of the steam engine from spreading, he never even put the steam engine into the civilian field.

As for the water trucks for disaster relief, there was really no way. It was impossible not to build steam water trucks under the circumstances at that time.

As a result, because of this mistake, the steam engine was stolen, and not one was stolen.

Now that several countries in continental Europe have bought samples of steam engines, there is actually no point in keeping them secret.

Even if he ordered people to snatch a few steam engines back at this moment, it was useless, because the key to this thing was the inspiration. They had seen the samples, and they could imitate them with a little effort.

At this time, it seems that there is nothing to worry about.

Anyway, the secrets have already been leaked, so we must use it boldly, let go of it, apply the steam engine to various fields, and develop it crazily, so that no one can catch up with it!
This is even more important than blocking other people's resources.

Because it is very difficult to completely block resources, even if the Americas are stuck, it is possible to find copper mines in Africa, West Asia, and even Europe. There should still be copper for the steam engine.

As for rubber, people can also put African species, or even South Asian species.

This thing can basically be planted as long as it is near the equator.

In other words, blocking the resources in the Americas can only delay the development of others, and it is basically impossible to prevent them from developing at all.

In this way, self-development becomes even more important.

As long as it develops wildly and is far ahead in all aspects, the European countries will never dream of shaking the sky!
Thinking of this, Taichang said decisively: "Okay, let's build a steam engine factory in America."

Hearing this, Peng Bin quickly cupped his hands and said, "The emperor is wise."

Taichang shook his head slightly, and then said loudly: "Zi Ru, a detailed map of America."

When Cao Huachun heard this, he quickly pulled out a scroll and slowly spread it on the table in front of him.

Taichang took a closer look, and quickly locked his eyes on the capital of Xiyin.

Because only the Western Yindu Islands in the entire Americas can truly be regarded as the territory of Ming Dynasty, and the Dongdaying Camp is located near the Western Yindu City, and there are naval fleets stationed there. If it is not safe there, there are not many places in Ming Dynasty that are safe.

Thinking of this, he pointed directly at the capital of Western Yin and said, "Yan Ru, what do you think of building a steam engine factory here?"

Peng Bin cupped his hands without hesitation and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the capital of Western Yin is just in the middle of America, and it is not far from New Liaoyang City and Xinma City. If a steam engine factory can be built there, the new Liaoyang City and Xinma City will The city can develop rapidly.

If New Liaoyang City and New Horse City develop, North and South America will surely develop accordingly. "

That's right, the location of the Western Yin Capital City is just right, it's here!
Taichang immediately said loudly: "Zi Ru, pass the decree and order the Ministry of Industry to immediately organize relevant personnel to build a steam engine factory in the capital city of Western Yin. The output of steam engines must reach at least one hundred a day."

The problem of the steam engine was finally solved, and the next step was the detailed planning of the new horse city.

Peng Bin thought about it carefully, and then suggested: "Your Majesty, the Xinma City is so big that we may not be able to build it like a normal city.

Because the general city area is not so large, and there are not so many functions, there is no need to distinguish them at all, so basically everything is mixed together.

It's different here, there are too many functions, and shipyards, pharmaceutical factories, cement factories, and steel factories are all super big factories. If we mix them together and build them randomly, it will be messy.

Therefore, Weichen suggested that it should be divided into areas according to functions, just like in Wubei City, so that the construction will not be chaotic.

And we can also use city walls to separate these functional areas, so that the defense of the whole city will be stronger. "

Well, that makes sense.

Taichang nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, let's divide the area according to function, and you can talk about the general division of ideas first."

Uh, this.

Peng Bin thought for a while, and then asked, "Your Majesty, what factory are you going to build first?"

This, it seems that we can only build a pharmaceutical factory first.

Because other factories are basically unable to move without a steam engine.

It seems that the pharmaceutical factory can start working without a steam engine, at least there is no problem in preparing herbal medicine and testing various medicines.

Moreover, the issue of packaging has been discussed long ago, and the people sent by Daming to build paper and packaging factories should be the first to arrive.

Thinking of this, Taichang said decisively: "Let's build a pharmaceutical factory first."

Hearing this, Peng Bin nodded slightly, then pointed to the area where the trees had just been cleared and said: "The pharmaceutical factory is built in this area. There are more than ten tributaries in Xinma City, which happen to divide the whole city into more than ten areas. No matter how big the pharmaceutical factory is, this block should be enough."

Coincidentally, the medicine garden established by Li Shuben and Li Shuchu is just across from the westernmost tributary.

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help but nodded and said: "Well, this piece will be assigned to the pharmaceutical factory."

Then there are shipyards, cement factories, steel factories, and even military camps, military ports and so on.

Peng Bin's experience is indeed quite rich, and he has considered many details in advance.

For example, cement factories and steel factories cannot be built near pharmaceutical factories.

Because cement plants and steel plants produce a lot of dust.

If the dust floats on the medicine, the medicine made will be a bit nondescript.

How does it feel to drink a mouth full of ashes after drinking it in one gulp?
