Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 347 I want a rubber plantation

Chu Yun has been urging and supporting Li Zicheng's development recently, and at the same time, he is thinking about how to use the 25 civilization points he obtained for completing some historical achievement tasks.

However, the Ministry of the Navy sent a report about Deng Qianlong.

"At first, I thought that occupying the fortress of Guangzhou Mansion would cause resistance from the local defenders, but I didn't expect that the defense of Guangzhou Mansion, which has been plagued by bandits, pirates, and floods, has become so slack..." Chu Yun learned that Deng Qianlong fought without bloodshed. Forcibly occupied the Guangdong Fort, and the Ming army in Guangdong did not dare to fight back, so they couldn't help shaking their heads.

The letter reported by Deng Qianlong, in addition to the most important thing about the occupation of the Shisanhang Wharf, also mentioned the results of the search for rubber trees later.

"I can't find rubber trees in the Southeast Asian archipelago? But Southeast Asia is suitable for water and heat, isn't it rich in natural rubber?" Chu Yun thought about it carefully. According to his knowledge, Southeast Asia is the most important natural rubber producing area in the world.

But the Dutch who occupy the Indonesian archipelago have said that they can't find rubber trees. What's the matter?
Although natural rubber has not played a big role yet, in the future, if the Fuliao army starts the internal combustion engine technology, and then starts the motor vehicle technology, then rubber will become one of the extremely important raw materials.For example, tires use natural rubber.

"Electric wires also need to be covered with rubber..." Chu Yun had a headache because he couldn't find natural rubber. Even if the internal combustion engine technology was turned on, there would still be many defects.After all, it is hard to imagine a car with wood or metal as wheels.

But natural rubber is not available, so what about synthetic rubber?Chu Yun came up with the idea of ​​the industrial revolution system.

"Are you in the system? I want to ask how many civilization points are needed to open the synthetic rubber." Chu Yun called the industrial revolution system in his mind.

"Sorry, you can't activate the technology of the 70th century until you, the host, activate [-]% of the technology of the [-]th century," said the industrial revolution system.

Synthetic rubber is the technology of the twentieth century?Chu Yun was a little taken aback. It seems that he had a little deviation in the history of chemical industry, thinking that synthetic rubber would have existed in the [-]th century.

"System, I want to ask you something. Isn't Southeast Asia a place where natural rubber is produced? Why can't my people find the whereabouts of rubber trees in the Indonesian archipelago?" Chu Yun said.

"I said host, are you stupid? In 1876, the Englishman Wickham transported the seeds and seedlings of rubber trees from Brazil back to London's Royal Botanic Gardens Kew Garden for propagation, and then promoted them to Southeast Asia for large-scale artificial planting, but you had to do them in 1631. Are you out of your wits looking for rubber trees in Southeast Asia?" the system said in an extremely disdainful tone.

"..." Chu Yun was speechless for a while.

Good guy, it turns out that the rubber tree is a species in Latin America, no wonder I can't find it in Southeast Asia.

However, even if we know that rubber trees come from Latin America, is it necessary to organize a scientific expedition team to travel thousands of miles across the ocean to find rubber tree seeds in the Amazon forest on the other side of the Pacific Ocean?Uh... Although it is not impossible, it is too energy-intensive and may take several years.

Now the Liao army basically has no shortage of money or food, and the most precious thing for Chu Yun is time.A person's life is only a few decades, but Chu Yun wants to make up for 300 years of technology when he can control the golden years of the Liao Army, which shows that time is not waiting.If it takes several years to find rubber tree seeds, it will take several years to cultivate the seeds. If this is consumed, uh...

"System, is there any good way to get the seeds of the rubber tree?" Chu Yun reluctantly lowered his identity as the host and asked the system for help.For the sake of the industrial dream, so what if you condescend temporarily.

"..." The system was silent.

"Master System, I beg you, you can summon even a trainer, not to mention a mere rubber tree, just tell me how civilized you want." Chu Yun begged.

"It's not impossible to summon, but what you need are rubber tree seeds, right?" the system said hesitantly.

"Of course rubber tree seeds are needed. It would be even better if they were mature rubber trees. It would be better to have a rubber plantation. No, just come to an island full of rubber trees, an island as big as Hainan Island..." Chu Yun saw The system can help, and his ambition suddenly swells.

Damn, what kind of broken rubber tree seeds do you need to cheat with the system, just come to an island, there are rubber trees everywhere, it would be great to have an inexhaustible supply!Why do you need to cultivate yourself!
"Get lost!" The system mercilessly slapped Chu Yun in the face.

"Hey, let's come to a rubber plantation. An island seems a bit exaggerated." Chu Yun also knew that his request was a little too much, so he restrained himself a little.

"The rubber plantation is okay. How about this, you start the rubber vulcanization technology in 1839, and then choose a place on the tropical island, and I will directly summon the rubber plantation." The system said.

"Is that true?" Chu Yun said in surprise.I didn't expect the system to be so easy to talk to.

"Of course it's true. The system won't lie like humans. However, since you, the host, actively designate summons, the consumption of civilization points will be doubled. Originally, rubber vulcanization technology required 25000 civilization points, but now it has become 50000 civilization points. .Even if the host repents, you will need 50000 civilization points to activate this technology in the future." The system said.

"Fuck, you are a traitor to the system." Chu Yun expressed serious protest against the system's behavior of taking advantage of the fire, "Even if I form a scientific expedition team to find rubber tree seeds in the Amazon forest, and then spend a few years transplanting them, it will not cost two Double your civilization points to unlock your technology!"

"Hmm...system, do you think Hainan Island is suitable for planting rubber trees? Where should I occupy a place in Hainan Island as a place for rubber plantations? How about you point out a place for me, and I will send troops to clear that place immediately." The place is occupied..." Chu Yun said.

"Host, you..." The system was choked for a moment, but it had never seen such a brazen person before, "After you activate the rubber vulcanization technology, I will give you a map showing the location of the rubber plantation, and you send someone to Just accept it in the past.”

"Is it such a caring service?" Chu Yun beamed with joy, this time it's good, there are a batch of ready-made rubber trees directly, and there is no need to replant them at all.

If you want to expand the rubber plantation, you can use the seeds of rubber trees in the rubber plantation to transplant to other places.

"By the way, we don't have local talents for cultivating rubber trees and collecting rubber here. Why don't you summon the workers in the rubber plantation and brainwash them when you summon the rubber plantation?" Chu Yun said.

"Host, you are too much, but there is no problem. I will summon a rubber plantation in Southeast Asia in the late nineteenth century." The system said helplessly.

　Overturned, there are only two rises today, let's see if it can break out on the weekend.
