God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

When steel production exceeds one million tons annually, even a vast country like the Han Empire could achieve self-sufficiency in agricultural metal tools if used separately. This would naturally lead to a significant increase in labor force and output, which would be more conducive to territorial expansion and the reclamation of wasteland.

If used together, they could truly create a spectacle that transcends our current era.

Whether it's towers hundreds of meters high, steel behemoths sailing the ocean, or even steel tracks and various mechanical structures, all can be put on the agenda, changing the upper limit of this era.

For Chen Xi, who is determined to spread Han culture, let more lands and regions be influenced by Han culture, establish a super-large Han cultural sphere, break away from the dynastic cycle, completely overturn the table, and leave no one else at the negotiating table, these are all things he needs to experience on the road ahead.

The existence of metal ores in Australia provides basic raw materials. Liu Tong's technological reserves, combined with the material sublimation brought about by the thermal nurturing technology, could even enable people to go into space and reach the entire Milky Way.

When the stars shine brightly, it will truly be as if the banner of the Han Dynasty has spread throughout the entire galaxy.

However, this is only one possibility. Chen Xi has not set his sights that far yet, but spreading it across the entire Earth is certainly not a problem.

The Strait of Malacca, a region influenced by the Kushan Empire, was naturally of paramount importance.

The sooner you acquire it and hold it firmly in your hands, the greater your chances of future success.

After all, the development of the times takes time, and the more time there is, the faster the development will be.

Liu Tong spent several years completing the development of steel smelting technology that had taken thousands of years, and even directly moved from purely manual labor to a semi-mechanical, semi-natural power system.

If we continue down this path, it will become purely mechanized and fully automated.

Liu Tong is also making efforts in this regard. The special advantages brought by etching technology can enable certain mechanical equipment to use the surrounding natural energy as power to achieve self-sufficiency and make up for the loss of power source.

The further development of heat curing capabilities has also brought about the advantage of high-strength materials, enabling materials with higher strength to be produced after heat curing at a lower cost.

It can be said that this change in materials science is the biggest progress made in this field.

As for internal automation and high-intensity computation, those with relevant mental talents can largely compensate for this.

Not to mention that Liu Tong, by leveraging the advantages of chat groups, could actually reconstruct certain nodes and designs.

They can even create mechanical devices with extremely high computing power by using secret techniques related to the Yang line.

It can be said that this era possessed many secret techniques, enough to replace and substitute some key technologies from another era, thereby achieving similar effects.

So much so that if Liu Tong really invested a lot of money, he could bring certain mechanical construction items to a near-modern level, and even surpass them in terms of usage time and durability.

However, the reason for not doing so is quite simple. On the one hand, Liu Tong could not spend a lot of time focusing on the progress of a specific sub-industry. On the other hand, people and workers in this era still need to learn and adapt in order to have the corresponding basic personnel.

Otherwise, relying solely on Liu Tong, it would be impossible to achieve rapid technological advancement and breakthroughs. Even if he managed to create something, it would essentially remain in the laboratory and would be completely impossible to mass-produce.

If mass production is not possible, and others cannot understand it, then such technological innovation and advancement are essentially failures. Therefore, most advancements and developments in this area are aimed at improving and adapting to the needs of people in this era.

Whether they are workers or technicians, they are essentially unqualified when faced with these revolutionary technologies and underlying logic.

The result of forcibly pushing growth will inevitably be the distortion and gaps in certain skill trees, and the side effects of such gaps may very well lead to the collapse of certain nodes.

Even in a more pessimistic scenario, it is quite possible that a century after Liu Tong, the world's technological progress will depend entirely on archaeology.

Liu Tong naturally harbored a sense of vigilance regarding this situation, which had occurred in history.

Even if the country's technological progress is slow, we must thoroughly study and understand it so that there are successors, rather than just creating unrealistic, high-tech innovations.

It can be said that Liu Tong did not slack off on this path, but rather waited for the progress of the workers and people of this country.

Both still held lofty ideals and knew that human life was finite; Chen Xi and Liu Tong both made similar choices.

Instead of creating a prosperous era that allows the people of this era to live comfortably for several years at any cost, we strive to spur the people of this era to make progress and to learn as much as possible.

Even so, the people of the Han Empire, who had experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the warlord conflicts, and various upheavals, did not feel that this kind of spurring was a bad thing, but rather a crime in their own time that would benefit future generations.

For ordinary people, there is nothing wrong with this kind of behavior that requires them to work hard to keep up with the pace of society.

A life where people can eat their fill, stay warm, have their own houses, and don't have to worry about hunger or cold, where young children can go to school and the elderly are cared for, is what the sages called a prosperous age.

As for hard work, everyone thinks it's the right thing to do, especially ordinary people.

The idea that one could enjoy the whole world and this prosperous era simply by lying down was completely foreign to the common people at that time, and they had not received any such information.

Even if people were actually forced to stop, they would feel a sense of fear.

In this day and age, it is perfectly natural that those who do not work will not eat, while those who work will receive food.

Compared to the past when even strenuous labor couldn't guarantee a livelihood, the current stable and orderly life has actually motivated people to work even harder than before.

If you can eat your fill, and even eat well to a certain extent, you will naturally have more motivation to work harder.

This social atmosphere, arising from changes in the times, is also the main reason why Liu Tong and Chen Xi adopted this political policy.

No one knows how long this situation, in which ordinary people have not yet adapted to the changes in their roles and the social environment, can last.

But if this can be continued, it will greatly accelerate related progress... (End of Chapter)
