Xinzheng, South Korea.

"Chu people have been able to manufacture our arrow ships in batches at Wuyue Shipyard. Such ships can be deployed efficiently and quickly. This is definitely not good news for our shipyard in Qingcheng. "Han Shu said worriedly.

South Korea currently has strong shipbuilding capabilities, especially in Qingcheng, where there are a large number of shipyards. Through the integration of listed companies, shipbuilding capabilities have been further improved. However, such an improvement cannot effectively occupy the market, or in other words, combat Potential shipbuilding capacity, because the arrow ship is relatively simple, and the use of iron beams, the load capacity of the ship is further improved. This is good news for shipping, but it is not good news for shipyards because they have an opponent.

"Master, we still have new technologies in shipbuilding applications. For example, the use of steam engines, the use of steam engines can propel the ship's navigation faster, and the ship will not be affected by the seasons and wind direction." Zhang Liang comforted. Speaking of.

"However, the report I received said that the application of new technologies is not very smooth, and there are still problems in some key areas. For example, we can only use Qin Guoren’s steam engines because of their high power, mature technology, and volume. It is relatively small. Although our steam engine can also be manufactured, it consumes a lot of energy and has a much smaller power. The volume is larger than that of Qin. Moreover, Qin’s ships use propellers, and we The paddle wheel is used. This is still an experiment on a small boat. Our ship encountered a situation where it was unable to navigate due to strong winds and waves. If we use a large ship, the problem may be even more serious." Han Shu said.

"This." Zhang Liang knew that technical problems could not be solved eagerly, because it required a process of accumulation, and Qin did not do it all at once. They conducted a lot of experiments, especially on the experimental materials. A lot of effort, if not for Qin's research system is very perfect, Qin himself would not be able to do this.

South Korea also has a corresponding laboratory, but compared with Qin Guo, he is still far behind. South Korea also has corresponding universities and companies have corresponding laboratories, but there is a relatively lack of talents and equipment. Therefore, the results of South Korean experiments are often not satisfactory.

"I know that the technical department lacks technical talents, and many places lack talents. However, we should also actively introduce corresponding technologies. I heard that Qin State is transferring a batch of technologies. They are doing this in the name of joint stock cooperation. Companies in this area have used their shares as a bargaining chip to obtain a large number of equipment and technology patents, and Qin Guoren also has specialized technical personnel for corresponding training. Do we start cooperation with them in this area." Han Shu to Zhang Liang Speaking of.

"This. The Qin State Navy is also a technical service. They are in a monopoly position. I think they are reluctant to have such technical cooperation with us. After all, such technical cooperation is not good, especially for the Qin State Navy. It is very important to have and maintain such a technological advantage. From the perspective of the need to protect such a technology, I think that the possibility of cooperation with our South Korean Navy is very low, and the use of such technology is a very dominant technology. It is unlikely that Qin people will give up such technical advantages." Zhang Liang analyzed.

"Yeah." Han Shu nodded. For the current status of South Korean naval technology, it is indeed not easy. Many civilian technologies are still not enough for the navy. This shows that South Korea still needs to develop some corresponding technical reserves to have such capabilities, but such capabilities will take time to develop. South Korea wants to save some time.

"But. Qin's navy is in a state of stagnation, and their technology does not make much sense to stay in place. For them, it is meaningless technology. If our South Korean navy can come up with something that can attract the people of Qin. In terms of speaking, I think there is still a lot of certainty." Han Shu said.

"This. Qin's navy has nothing to attract people." Zhang Liang frowned and thought.

"The port. I thought about it a little bit." Han Shu said.

"Qin's navy has no port to sea. I heard that they have been looking for a port to go to sea. However, there are big contradictions between the Qin army and the navy. This contradiction, coupled with the fact that their military expenditures have been reduced, makes this Things are difficult to complete." Han Shu said.

"But we can't do anything about this in South Korea. King, you know, Qin is a traditional country on the mainland. It doesn't pay much attention to the ocean. Instead, it pays attention to the land, and there are a lot of affairs on the land. Qin people are operating the Western Regions, and they don’t seem to have a great ability to involve the oceans." Zhang Liang said.

"Yeah. That's right. They still can't do anything about the ocean, but they are interested in the mainland. If they occupy the northern continent, they will have access to the sea. But in this way, Qin's army will spend money on it. It will inevitably rise again. At this point, the people of Qin seem to be hard to bear." Han Shu said.

"So, the problem is contradictory, and the people of Qin are still unable to balance such problems." Zhang Liang said.

"Yeah. But we can't provide them with a port. At most, we give them the right to anchor in Qingcheng, but letting out of Qingcheng is probably impossible." Han Shu said.

"We can still do this very well. If we want to get technology, there seems to be only one way. That is to carry out corporate cooperation, through the cooperation of private enterprises, introduce some advanced technology, digest, absorb, and then transform it into us Technical advantages." Han Shu said.

"But, we can only try it." Zhang Liang said helplessly. Zhang Liang did not hold much hope for the introduction of key naval technologies. Because of this technology, the technology monopoly implemented by the other party made it impossible for the people of Qin to actively abandon such technology monopoly. However, Zhang Liang faced the difficulties of naval development and could only give it a try. After all, this has a very close relationship with South Korea's shipbuilding industry.

"Have our people withdrawn?" Zhu Jian asked.

"This, sir, not yet." A soldier replied.

"Damn it. If they can't come back." Zhu Jian looked outside the fortifications worriedly. Shaking his head, his future will also be greatly restricted.
