Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 351 351
The car's notch is big, and the other notches are even bigger.

Where is the light bulb factory in Burnas?It's gotten to the point where it's crazy to completely remove the quality inspection step.

Regardless of whether the light bulbs produced are good or not, they are packed and shipped directly, and they are not tested at all to see if they are on or not.

Those who bought the goods, after buying the goods themselves, took them back to test themselves, and then directly reported a number back, directly saying how many defective products there were, and the manufacturer would directly replenish as many as they had!

Even, because of overtime production, the manufacturer is too lazy to verify, as long as the quantity is about the same, the account will be written off!
The people who bought the light bulbs over there did not dare to lie about the quantity, because the supply of these things is in short supply at present. If they are found out to be fraudulent, they will have no chance to buy them again in the future.

You know, this thing can be bought now, and you can earn it, and you don't have to worry about selling it!As long as you have a light bulb in your hand, you can sell it!

In order to save transportation costs, the bosses who sell the bulbs even rent a room directly in Bunas, test the bulbs here, and then ship them to other regions.

When they test out inferior products, they will immediately break them, and then accumulate the tails of the bulbs and send them back to the manufacturer together to show their innocence.

In this way, the output of hundreds of thousands of incandescent bulbs a year still cannot meet the purchase quantity of users.

As a result, Tang Mo even directly authorized several cities such as Nanshui and Refeng to build light bulb factories there to further expand the production capacity of light bulbs.

Almost the same, the production capacity of the rails has also been stretched to the limit, but it is still a drop in the bucket.

Compared with the great development of the world's railways, the increase in production capacity of Datang Group in rail production is really too slow.

Although the production capacity of the original rails produced by Bunas has almost doubled within a year, it still cannot meet the actual needs.

As a result, the proportion of Datang Group's railway tracks in the world's railway laying kilometers has dropped from more than 30.00% to a ridiculously low 5.00%!

Yes, you read that right. Now, there are more and more factories in the world that can produce rails and are producing rails.

In fact, apart from the current railway project on Long Island and the Buyu Railway that use the rails produced by the Bunas factory, other rail projects in the world basically do not use the rails of the Datang Group.

In most cases, local factories are transforming, or have already transformed to produce rails of the same specification.

Anyway, the speed of trains in this era is not fast, and the technical requirements of the rails are not high. At most, the performance is not very good.

Under such a premise, all countries in the world are working hard to lay railroad tracks, because this thing is really useful whether it is in wartime or in peacetime.

It can help the country to control its vast territory, it can also help the army transport weapons and supplies, and it can also provide convenience in the transfer of materials and special products.

With this thing, the economy will become active, and infrastructure itself will stimulate domestic demand. Coupled with the characteristics of railways that can drive the flow of goods, it has simply become the first choice for high-level investment in various countries.

After the Nanla Empire inspected the railway between Bunas and Ice Crystal City, it immediately launched its own construction plan for two main railway lines running from north to south and from east to west.

The Lions Empire, which is under preparation, is also expanding its own railway network on the basis of the Datang Group's railway network.

Donne and Suzas are not idle. They are both extending their own railways, and even some areas have been connected to the railway network of Datang Group.

Even the Poplar Kingdom, which previously focused on sea transportation, and the Tarun Islands, where Neverwinter is located to the south, have begun to build their own railways.

This has pushed the demand for railway tracks to an unprecedented level. In the next year, the total mileage of railways being laid all over the world will reach an astonishing 1 kilometers!
What is this concept?This is equivalent to building a quarter of China's total length of railway tracks in this different world where Tang Mo lives in one year!In 2021, that is, last year, the total length of newly built railway tracks in China will only be more than 4000 kilometers.

Although half of the more than 4000 kilometers are high-speed rail tracks with higher technological content, but judging from the number alone, Tang Mo's admiration for railways in the other world is worth showing off.

However, this is only the total length of the planned laying, not the actual total length of the laying. Except for the construction of the Longdao Railway, which exceeded expectations, the laying of railways in other countries in the world is actually overdue.

On the one hand, due to terrain constraints, investigations and demonstrations were not sufficient, and many difficulties were encountered during the construction process.

On the other hand, there is a serious shortage of steel production capacity in various countries, and the output of rail tracks cannot meet the demand for railway construction.

There is really no way, everyone's family background is actually not strong, so we can only bow to the reality-the plan can't keep up with the rapid changes, and those limited steel can't all be made into rails and laid on the road!
Metal exports have always been an important source of foreign exchange for various countries. Those countries with large steel production capacity are now relying on these export materials to purchase new weapons from the Datang Group and the Cyric Consortium. How can it be possible to use them all? Do rails?

In addition to these projects, some industries of Datang Group are also shrinking, and Tang Mo is consciously withdrawing from the general textile industry.

Before Datang Group expanded, it acquired shares in many textile workshops around Bunas, as well as daily necessities companies such as table salt, all of which were inextricably linked with Datang Group.

Now, in order to recover funds, Datang Group is selling off the shares of these civil light industries and food factories.

Naturally, someone took over, such as Marquis Bailu, who has always had a good relationship with Tang Mo, and the royal family of Lyons, etc. They are all rich and have the ambition to control people's livelihood enterprises.

The two sides hit it off immediately, and Datang Group officially withdrew from these enterprises, giving up control of this part of the industry as much as possible.

This greatly appeases the emotions of other nobles and the royal family, deepens the trust between the two parties, and eases the conflicts between the parties.

At the same time, allowing the nobles to participate in the luxury goods sector can also win over people's hearts, and at the same time allow them to support the development of these industries more selflessly, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

It has to be said that in these fields of people's livelihood, only when everyone earns money can they form a large recognition environment and make better money. Therefore, here, Datang Group can be regarded as retreating.

While many industries have begun to retreat strategically, not all production capacity of Datang Group is stepping down or shrinking. At least the increase in production capacity of Datang Group's shipbuilding industry is terrifying.

Today's Datang Group launches a free ship every week.In terms of shipping, Datang Group's progress is obvious to all.

The brand-new giant ship can transport a huge amount of goods that the original fleet could not transport at once.The appearance of the Liberty Wheel immediately highlighted the importance of the Endless Sea.

It wasn't until this time that everyone realized that the Datang Group had almost controlled all the important ports around the Endless Sea.

Burnas, Hotwind, Osa, Neverwinter, Everwinter... These ports allow the Datang Group to control almost all transportation activities on the east coast of the Endless Sea.

Although ports such as Nanshui in the Yangmu Kingdom still exist, the gap with these new ports of the Datang Group has been widened due to the backward infrastructure.

As time goes by, this gap will become bigger and bigger until it becomes irreparable, and then ports like Nanshui will be eliminated and become small ports, fishing villages...

There is no way around this. The ports under the control of the Datang Group can technically provide technical support for emerging ships. Services such as ship repair, maintenance, and shipment are more comprehensive and professional. Ports such as Nanshui have these details. But unable to follow up.

Coupled with the convenience of railway transportation in the future, the follow-up of supporting facilities, and the complementary formation of surrounding industrial layouts, the competitiveness of Nanshui will be completely reduced to zero.

Everyone running the ship is nothing more than trying to make a profit, right?It is profitable to transport 1000 cars from Bunas to Osa, and then transport 2 rails back from Osa.

If we transported 1000 cars from Bunas to Nanshui and couldn't make up a boatload of apples, tomatoes and potatoes in Nanshui, wouldn't it be a loss?
Therefore, Nanshui, a "non-Datang system" port, is destined to be eliminated in the future. This is something everyone knows well.

Unless these countries also follow the example of Datang Group, build their own ports, increase investment, and introduce talents... But the price paid is really too high.

Take the Yangmu Kingdom as an example. In fact, the king of the Yangmu Kingdom has given up the Nanshui Port controlled by the Leibert family and signed a contract with the Datang Group to build a direct railway from Osa to Wangcheng.

Most of the other countries also have this kind of thinking—abandoning their own ports and seeking cooperation with Datang Group, using the ports invested and constructed by Datang Group as their own ports.

In order to support these ports, Datang Group is frantically expanding its own transport fleet. Today's Datang Shipping is already a behemoth with more than 400 sailing ships and more than 30 free ships.

Sometimes, in order to speed up the transportation, some important goods, even the Datang Group, will directly use wolf-class cruisers to transport them.After all, its speed is much faster than Free Wheel.

It's just that such goods are generally rare and expensive - for example, expensive medicines, and some precious rare metals that are urgently needed.

The size of this fleet is now changing a little bit. Every week, new free ships are launched. These new ships will replace the old sailing ships, allowing Datang Group's capacity to increase rapidly.

Obviously, this moved a lot of people's cakes...many, many people.
