The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Air combat has undoubtedly become the fashionable war of Qin's foreign war. With the issuance of national debt by Qin State. People's attention almost shifted to the air. Aviation stocks have attracted much attention. In particular, several mechanical vehicles are referred to as locomotive manufacturers. See funding for research and development. Manpower and material resources are mostly concentrated on aircraft manufacturing. This has affected Qin's locomotive production to a certain extent. But the aviation industry will be greatly improved. Especially the engine's surface. A five-by-two radial engine appeared. This has more than doubled the power of the engine. This means that the combat capability of the fighter has a great refreshing. In addition, plexiglass is put into use. Although it is only used on the dashboard and pilot's windshield. But there is indeed a big improvement. This progress needs to be reflected in future development.

As Qin State manufactures more and more internal combustion engines. According to the engine code registered by the Qin State Economic Department. At least 10,000 engines of various types are in use in Qin. Mainly airships. aircraft. Followed by agricultural tractors. Some farmers in the Guanzhong area of ​​Qin State use tractors. The reason is that. Slaves are in high demand. And the supply of slaves is seriously inadequate. Especially in winter. A large number of slaves were seconded to the Qinling area. And these slaves could not be returned in time. But agricultural production must continue. The government had to pay for its slaves to use farm tractors. The third item is the transportation of Qin State. This ratio is relatively small. They use tracked transport vehicles. Or special vehicles. Mainly perform some special transportation tasks. Such as the transfer of large-scale machinery and equipment. Still short distance. Metal parts will wear out during long-distance transportation. There is also a special place. For example, large-scale bulldozing equipment, lifting equipment and so on.

With the use of these machines. Qin's demand for oil exploration has greatly increased. Especially the shallow oil has been exploited almost. In order to extract oil. It is necessary to find another shallow oil zone. Or to develop new technologies. Develop deeper oil layers. What Qin can do at present is the latter. There is also an oil field in Qi State. It is roughly the annex of Shandong Shengli Oilfield.

Oil is very important to Qin State. aircraft. All locomotives need gasoline and diesel. There are lubricants for large machinery and equipment, and asphalt for highways. In addition, Qin’s chemical industry needs to extract various materials from petrochemicals. This ratio is increasing from less than one percent to about 20 percent. oil. Qin State has been unable to leave this fuel.

Qin currently has only one place. This place needs to be upgraded before it can continue to be used. Can imagine. There is a lack of oil in Qin's industry.

There are not many known oil producing areas in Shangwen. Mainly to the northeast. There is a place for "mountain people". The combat situation is not optimistic. The primeval forest gave them a natural cover. And the combat power is also very fierce. Even if you have advanced weapons in your hands. They can also do everything they can to fight you. Weapons can no longer be solved.

Another place is Siberia. That is, Russia’s Qiulin oil field and Caucasus oil field. But this distance. It's too far. Far. Shangwen didn't know if he could occupy that area. Even if it can be won. Then the transportation problem. It has also become a major problem for oil. Qin must build a large number of transportation pipelines. This project is also a big problem now. If rail transportation is used. Then the transportation pressure will be great. foreseeable. Qin's demand will increase exponentially. Railway transportation is a difficult problem.

After abandoning this place, Shangwen focused his attention on the bay area. There is a barren land. But there are abundant oil resources underground. Shangwen feels that digging a hole in that place can produce oil. Although this is not the case. But it is a big advantage. And the oil production layer here is far lower than the Caucasus oil field. Low technical requirements. the most important is. Transportation issues. This place is close to the coast. Qin State can complete the oil transportation task by sea transportation. So next. Qin must open the sea. There is not much time left for Qin's development. In the past, Qin State had no good use for gasoline and diesel. But now there are many oil exploration platforms. Reserves after oil extraction have fallen sharply. If further development. The oil shortage is bound to appear.

"Navy. Navy" Shang Wen said while looking at the map. Strikes hard at the Qin State Navy's Yangtze River Base.

"How do you know. What happened to the Navy?" Meng Yi pushed the door in. Hearing what Shangwen said, he asked.

"Navy? What's wrong with the navy?" Shang Wen asked.

"Look at this?" He handed Shang Wen a very luxurious piece of paper. This kind of paper has no practical use except luxury.

Shang Wen looked at it. I can't read the text above at all. Shang Wen couldn't even recognize Xiao Zhuan. What's more, it is a brand new ancient writing.

"Oh. That's right. I have to translate it for you." Meng Yi said as he took the paper.

"This is a document from Chu State. It is written in Chu State. Of course you can't understand it." Meng Yi explained. Shang Wen was completely speechless.

"It probably means. General Xiang Yan of the State of Chu asked us not to build a navy army in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Otherwise, the Chu army will defeat us completely." Meng Yi probably explained. Meng Yi knew. You read the original text again. Shang Wen couldn't understand it. It can only be said in plain terms.

After hearing this, Shang Wen was a little dismissive.

"Navy? They are the navy. We are the navy. We want to go out of the Yangtze River and into the sea." Shang Wen thought of naval strategy and felt that Chu State generals were short-sighted.

"Threat. We are not afraid of any threat. And the navy must go out. If financially possible. We must develop the navy next." Shang Wen said, pulling Meng Yi to tell him the important strategy of going to sea. Qin State can take advantage of the convenience of ocean transportation. Get a lot of resources overseas that the Qin State does not have. such as. Rubber, petroleum, iron ore, cotton, sugar cane, cocoa. Although Qin people don't know if they can accept coffee. But Shangwen has a demand. He hasn't had coffee for a long time. Only drink honey tea water every day. Either soda water to refresh your mind.

Shangwen introduced the strategic importance of these materials to Meng Yi one by one. Especially rubber. Two strategic resources of oil. Qin Guo Industry must need these two things.

The State of Chu is in security consideration to prevent the Qin State Navy. And downgrade it and he is in the position of the navy. In fact. This is indeed the case for the Navy. Many of their ships are new. There are still many ships under construction. But their high-level knowledge far exceeds the knowledge of the generals of Chu State. No one can stop Qin from going to sea.
