Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1724 Prepare for the World Expo
Chu Yun led a group of people back to the capital from Tianjinwei by iron train. Several cars came to pick him up early in the morning. There were also guards from the Military Lord's Mansion riding bicycles and guarding the two rows of cars with muskets on their backs.

As cars and bicycles appeared more and more frequently in the capital, the Guards of the Military Lord's Mansion also purchased several cars and dozens of bicycles to increase their mobility.

With the gradual maturity of automobile technology, especially after the appearance of pneumatic rubber tires and the firmer structure of automobiles, Chu Yun is now used to traveling in four-wheeled vehicles.

"The capital is much more prosperous than when we left."

Chu Yun has been away for two or three years, but he has keenly felt the changes in the capital. He can see that there are obviously a lot of bicycles on the main street of the capital, and he can even see cars passing by!

You must know that before leaving the capital, although the engine technology is mature and more practical four-wheel vehicles have been released, they have not been officially promoted to the market, and less than 100 vehicles have been circulated.

And now with the frequency of passing cars, it seems that the factory has begun to officially promote cars to the outside world.

It seems that I need to pay attention to the car production.Chu Yun thought secretly.

It can be bought before the promotion of cars, and the people who drive cars on the streets of the capital are obviously famous people.

Cars at this point are like bicycles were a decade ago, only more expensive.Ordinary people have money but can't buy it. Instead of bicycles, it has become a new luxury and a status symbol.

It's not that Chu Yun doesn't want to promote three-wheeled or four-wheeled cars, but he feels that at the current price of cars, middle-level people can't afford them, let alone thousands of households.

He was waiting for a new technology—the Ford Model T and the assembly line.

After acquiring Model T cars and car assembly line technology, building factories and car production lines, not to mention 100 cars, even if there is no problem in producing 10000 Model T cars a year, then middle-class families will be able to afford them.

In addition to the most important engine, it is still very difficult to popularize cars. It is not just a problem of roads, but a problem of whether there are enough gasoline reserves and whether the parts needed to assemble cars can be provided in time.

Just as Chu Yun was thinking, his mixed convoy of four-wheeled cars and bicycles returned to the Military Lord's Mansion.

The Military Lord's Mansion is still the same as before, not too big, but it makes Chu Yun feel like coming home.

"You don't need to buy food anymore, the journey is hard, just let the chef do it." Chu Yun stopped Xiao Xiu'er and others from planning to arrange the food in person.

Ling'er and Xue'er were very happy when they returned home, and they couldn't wait to see the quokka in the garden.

In the past, the Oceania expedition team gave Chu Yun two short-tailed kangaroos as pets, and they have been living in the military master's mansion.Now the second and third generations of quokkas are still alive.

"Brother, these mice seem to have babies again."

Ling Xueer squatted outside the small kangaroo hut, carried out the third-generation kangaroo, and found a small kangaroo that had never been seen before in its belly pouch.

"It's not a mouse, it's a kangaroo." Ling'er also walked over, looking at the newborn curiously.

Seeing that the two children were more interested in animals, Chu Yun suddenly thought of the preparations for the Wanguo Zoo and Botanical Garden.

He ordered the garrisons from all over the country to collect new animal and plant varieties and transport them to the capital to establish a live animal and plant gene bank.

This matter is not as simple as a cosmetic project. It is true that the existence of the International Zoo and Botanical Garden will make the World Expo more brilliant in four years, but the International Zoo and Botanical Garden will have a huge role in scientific research, especially in biological and medical research. potential value.

In particular, some species will inevitably die out due to the advent of the industrial age. At that time, countries may only be able to see these surviving species in the Huaxia International Zoo and Botanical Garden—that is, in the future, the Huaxia International Zoo and Botanical Garden will become It is a paradise yearned for by biologists and pharmacologists all over the world.

The automobile industry, the International Zoological and Botanical Gardens...

Chu Yun felt dizzy for a while. The World Expo four years later is not only as simple as showing strength to the nations and establishing world order, but also an opportunity to speed up industrial construction.

In order to hold the World Expo, it is necessary to re-plan the urban layout and vigorously develop various industries, otherwise it will not be able to shock the princes, nobles and envoys who come.

This is an opportunity for drastic industrial construction.

"My lord, are you thinking about something?" Ella seemed to see that Chu Yun was preoccupied.

"When we were in London, we invited all countries to come to our Oriental capital to participate in the World Expo. However, the preparations for the World Expo have not yet started. We need to start building the venues for the expo as soon as possible, and speed up the construction of various industries. Come up with a lot of Only by scaring them off with industrial products can they willingly join the world order dominated by us," Chu Yun said.

"Uncle Chu, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step on the road. You don't need to think so much. Anyway, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge." Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but said when he had the opportunity to follow to the military lord's mansion.

"Yuanyuan!" Liu Rushi stopped Chen Yuanyuan's words in a low voice.

"What you little girl said is not wrong, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge." Chu Yun felt a little relieved.

Although he really wants to show the high-rise buildings, busy traffic, and colorful modern civilization in front of other countries in the world, it takes time to promote technology and large-scale construction.

In fact, even with the current technology, four years later, it will be enough to shock the ambassadors of all nations.

Four years is also enough to develop and promote other technologies. For example, the venue of the World Expo can use cement and glass to build a spacious venue with excellent lighting.

"My lord, don't blame Yuanyuan, let's leave for now." Liu Rushi pulled Chen Yuanyuan and was about to leave.

"The two of you also followed us all the way, why don't you stay and have dinner." Chu Yun said casually.

After returning to the capital, Chu Yun began to prepare for the World Expo four years later.

Not just for face, but also to promote existing technologies and develop new technologies.

People always have a goal to have the motivation to struggle!

The venue of the International Expo needs to be established, and the International Zoo and Botanical Garden must also be enriched with animals and plants from all over the world as soon as possible. After ten years of preparations, the automobile industry will also start to get on track. Chu Yun is preparing for the appearance of the T-car .

There are still many, many industrial fields that need to be developed to better demonstrate their strengths at the World Expo, such as glass, astronomical telescopes, steamships, and even airplanes...
