Chapter 190 Chapter 190 Cyric's Trick
At the same time, Tang Mo is also planning to build a small cement factory there to produce cement on the spot—as long as the raw materials can be found there.

Roger sent back a lot of good news. On the one hand, he has confirmed that there is indeed oil on Black Dragon Island, and according to the geological prospecting scholars who brought him, the reserves here should not be low.

In addition, among the troops brought by Roger, the scouts briefly surveyed the island, but they did not find the other end of the island within a day.

This proves that this island is actually very huge, almost able to feed tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.They also found some large animals on the island, which also proved from the side that the island itself is large enough.

The large forests on the island provide a lot of wood that can be cut, and the mountain peaks on the other side can also provide stone resources.

In addition to the oil production on this island, this can already be said to be a very, very valuable treasure. If it weren't for the difficulty of navigation due to the monsoon, this place might have been developed by other countries long ago.

When the hunters inspected the island, they also found traces of activities in other countries.They found surveying dowels on the top of the mountain, along with discarded rags and wine bottles.

Roger was not in a hurry to expand on this island either, he steadily expanded the base on this island according to the plan Tang Mo gave him.

On the one hand, he worked hard to build a port, hoping to connect the island with Bunas in the future to facilitate transportation.

On the other hand, he is also desperately building a defense system around his landing point.He ordered his troops to set up defensive positions on the nearby high ground, deploying his only three companies around the base.

When exploring the island, he only sent dozens of hunters to disperse the activities, and strictly ordered them not to be the first to fire at suspicious targets.Once you discover that other races or forces from other countries are active here, you should return as soon as possible and report your findings.

Under his order, the hunters did not explore the entire island with great fanfare, but checked step by step the areas they thought might be active.

In the end, after repeated confirmation by Roger, the security forces of the Datang Group wiped out a group of pirates on the island, wiped out more than 200 pirates, and rescued seven or eight people who had just been captured by them on the island. woman.

It's a pity that only three of these daughters survived in the end, and the rest all found opportunities to commit suicide or died of depression.

When Tang Mo's factory produced the first batch of fertilizers and was about to transport them to Northridge for agricultural experiments, Bernard returned to Burnas with the fleet.

His return not only brought back the fleet, but also brought oil from Black Dragon Island to Tang Mo!This made Tang Mo very excited. With these things, he could continue his "invention and creation".

So these days, he has been locking himself in the basement, and he hasn't shown up for a few days.

As time went by, the Burners-Northridge railway, as well as the trains of the Datang Group, completely made the surrounding countries boil.

Rich people even travel thousands of miles to Bunas just to see the train with their own eyes and experience for themselves what it feels like to ride the miraculous train described by bards.

As a result, they all felt that their trip was worthwhile-they brought their feelings back to their own countries, and at the same time, they also let the monarchs of these countries find an artifact that can consolidate their rule!

There was an endless stream of people who came to Tang Mo to discuss business. What they wanted were two things, one was Datang Group's guns and cannons, and the other was Tang Mo's rails and trains.

However, there is no patent law in this world. Even if there is, it will definitely not prevent plagiarism and imitation.

Therefore, when Tang Mo developed Heilong Island, almost all the old products of Datang Group had imitations and substitutes.

Datang Group's K1 fast gun orders began to decline, because outside the Kingdom of Wright, the price of Cyric needle guns is cheaper, and the output is gradually increasing. Coupled with Cyric's terrifying influence, it is still logical for these kingdoms Prioritize the purchase of Cyric needle guns.

Similarly, with the fuze and primer, the grenade is not something that cannot be imitated, so Tang Mo's C64 field combat frame retreating gun has already begun to have imitations.

Cyric was already shameless, they tried their best to imitate all Tang Mo's arms products, even the calibers were produced according to the standards specified by Tang Mo.

Ever since, driven by the technical competition between Cyric and Datang Group, several surrounding kingdoms began to upgrade their weapons one after another.

苏萨斯采购了10000支大唐集团的K1针发枪，多恩王国采购了7000支K1针发枪，莱特王国加上北岭一共换装了7500支大唐K1针发枪和4500支大唐K3型步枪。

In addition to these three countries, the Yangmu Kingdom purchased 15000 needle guns of various types from the Augustine family, and some other countries controlled by Cyric also replaced more than 4 needle guns.

At the same time, new rear-loading artillery such as the C64 has also become popular. With the addition of new grenades, the power of artillery has finally opened up to the level of rifles.

However, not everyone can afford these big guys that weigh a ton at every turn, so they became toys for big countries as soon as they came out.

The Wright Kingdom has only purchased 70 C64 field guns, including the cannons on the castle of the king's city.

The Kingdom of Susas was severely damaged. Although the tax reform was carried out very well, it only squeezed out the purchase funds for 60 cannons.

As for this, they were determined to expand northwards, so they gritted their teeth and managed to cobble together the number with the support of the Datang Group.

In contrast, the weapons of North Ridge are much more scary - in today's North Ridge, all three legions have been replaced with C80 retreating howitzers, with an astonishing 120 mm caliber, which is true compared to the surrounding forces It is extremely arrogant.

After all, in this era, the caliber is justice, and the cannon is the truth... Beiling is really a good comrade with both justice and truth.

The times are developing and weapons are improving. These countries that have obtained better weapons are also eager to try, and are ready to start their own expansion plans for the surrounding backward areas.

And those relatively backward areas are not far behind. They also began to try their best to find out the source of the new weapons before starting their own procurement plans.

A new arms race has begun, and some countries are already gaining before the arms race kicks in.

The North Ridge of the Wright Kingdom won the war and won the cession of the area south of the Ice Crystal River and a large amount of compensation.

Relying on new weapons, the Poplar Kingdom has also won the victory in the Battle of Senna and annexed almost all the territory of its neighboring countries.

Stimulated by such successful cases, those countries that are belatedly aware have also begun to go crazy.

They began to invest more gold coins, and got involved in this wave of weapon purchases who didn't know who would have the last laugh.

What's more interesting is that, in addition to weapons, Cyric also frantically imitated on the railway that is not too technical.

They first developed two kinds of locomotives by themselves, and the performance was really terrible. However, because of Cyric's wealth and wealth, these locomotive trains with inferior performance were almost sold at a free price to those who were eager to invest in railway development. The country where the money is invested.

What's ridiculous is that when Cyric formulated the railway track standard, he completely followed Tang Mo's railway standard - they didn't even have the courage to change the standard.

Because almost all customers have such an indicator: if Cyric cannot guarantee that the performance of his trains exceeds that of Datang Group, then the standards of the rails must be consistent!
In this way, it is convenient for customers to change trains of Datang Group when necessary, so Cyric had to hold his nose and accept this request in order to get the project investment.

In the end, even Cyric himself had to admit that Tang Mo's train design was the most reasonable and efficient. The train design versions they had experimented with before were actually rubbish and all outdated.

There was no way, Cyric had to go back to the old way of copying Datang Group.Relying on their strong capital, they don't need to pay patent fees, so they are simply unscrupulous.

These omnipotent businessmen finally launched a train that was almost identical to the locomotive of the Datang Group, and named it the Cyric 2 train.

But almost everyone knows that Cyric's trains are inferior to Datang Group's trains, both in terms of quality and performance.The quality of the former is only about two-thirds of the latter, and the failure rate is even higher.

Of course, this is a long time later.Now, if you want to buy a locomotive, you have only two choices: go to Datang Corporation to buy the best locomotive, or go to Cyric to buy experimental garbage...

But no matter what, the influence of the Datang Group in the surrounding kingdoms is increasing day by day.Many kingdoms have also begun to get used to hedging their bets on Datang Group and Cyric Group.

It's just that Tang Mo can accept such a fence, but Cyric will definitely not think it is a good thing.This means that Cyric's influence in these kingdoms is declining, while the influence of Datang Group in these kingdoms is increasing linearly.

This improvement is irreversible, so Cyric's loss is real.However, their losses are not too obvious, because when these countries purchase arms, they still choose Cyric. After all, the name Cyric is an awe-inspiring sign on this continent.

But Cyric's loss is not only that, they have to eliminate the most products they produce, and throw the flintlock production technology into the garbage dump.

They also have to deal with the workers whose jobs have been replaced by steam engines, which is another real expense...

Therefore, in the past six months, the Cyric Consortium has had a very difficult time, very uncomfortable...
-
Long Ling rested for a day, let's make two changes today.Tomorrow will start to make up slowly... It's too uncomfortable, sorry.
