Chu State, Wu Yue Port.

"We can build such a ship. However, the demand for steam engines has become very large. If a large number of such ships are manufactured, a considerable amount of high-power steam engines will be needed. However, we are currently unable to produce such steam engines on a large scale in Chu State. At most, it only produces some parts, and then imports some other parts for assembly production." A local official said to Chen Ping.

"I think if this is the case, we must import such technology. After all, such technology is very important to us. Getting rid of sails and using steam engines for power are all very important things." Chen Ping said To.

"Well, I can only encourage them to do this as much as possible, but there is no practical benefit. It is difficult for them to do this. After all, the initial technology investment has certain risks, and such risks are difficult to avoid." The official continued. Speaking of.

"Okay. I see. They will be notified of tax exemption." Chen Ping said. The official nodded in satisfaction when he heard this. Chen Ping knows that if these technology companies do not receive financial and tax support, they will hardly exist at the beginning, because these technology projects require a lot of funds to turn opportunities into reality. The role of capital in it is very obvious.

"For this kind of freight ship, we put the power propulsion device in the middle. In this way, the freight part is composed of two parts, the front part and the rear part. Among them, the front part is loaded with more cargo, and the rear part is the cockpit. There are also the living areas of some crew members, the total amount of cargo loaded is more than twice that of sailing sailing ships in the past." An engineer explained with a model ship.

Many directors are watching carefully.

"However, such a ship can only sail in coastal areas and must not encounter too much storms. Otherwise, the propulsion wheel of the ship will lose its function and cannot move forward. Therefore, the ship must avoid this situation from happening." The engineer said. To.

"I can't go on ocean voyages. What use do we want such a ship for?" a director said. Although the volume of ships can be made larger and the load capacity has been further increased, the fatal shortcomings of ships still cannot be solved well. They can only sail in shallow waters, which is a fatal shortcoming for ships. .

"Such ships are mainly used for iron ore mining and transportation in the south," a director explained.

"If we let sailing boats do such things, our cargo capacity will be greatly reduced. I think you know this very well. But if there is a special ship like this, we can concentrate a large number of sailing boats. Carrying out freight, transporting goods such as iron ore." The director said.

"After all, his cargo capacity is here. The most important point is, I think, you should know better than me, that is the role of these ships, besides these ships, we can also carry out such technological development, said Uncertain, future ships will be made of iron armor." The other party said with a smile. The director looked at each other in surprise, he really didn't expect that ships could still be made with iron armor. But such a thing is an indisputable fact.

"This is a telegram from the Kingdom of Seth. A general of the Kingdom of Parth-state revealed that the main purpose of the country's purchase of a large number of artillery and various new weapons is to deal with the enemy in the east. I think it may be Dawan. China, not Seth, after all, Seth has just had such combat experience.” Zhang Liang analyzed.

"Such information is only speculation, and we can't confirm it further." Han Shu shook his head and said. For such intelligence. Han Shu can only solve it with uncertainty.

"My lord, we have this kind of information to exchange with Qin. The people of Qin may be focusing on the Dawan people. This is the information they are most interested in. If the people of Qin are paying attention to the Dawan people, We can develop well in Seth Country and other regions." Zhang Liang said.

"Yeah. It's just that there is a doubt. I want to know why the people of Qin have always developed the Western Regions? Or, why are the people of Qin so interested in the Far West?" Han Shu suddenly asked such a strange question.

"This, it's not clear yet." Zhang Liang said, shaking his head.

"I think things are not as simple as you think. In my opinion, things may far exceed our imagination. I analyzed some recent movements of the people of Qin. I think that the people of Qin may be fighting for some kind of resources. Wan is a country rich in mineral resources. Qin people’s industrial development needs will become greater and greater, otherwise copper ore will not rise. The most important thing is that chromium-nickel ore, such minerals make guns, and Qin people are also The country that sells the largest arms will certainly not give up such an opportunity. But what will happen after the settlement of Dawan?" Han Shu asked.

"They will certainly continue to move forward, but in our opinion, Anxi is a barren country. Their agricultural production is based on animal husbandry. Is it possible that there are abundant resources under their land?" Han Shu at this time Calmly analyzed.

Zhang Liang doesn't know why Han Shu thinks this way. Maybe she has her own unique idea, but this is not enough to solve all the problems in a comprehensive way. It needs to solve quite a lot of problems.

"In other words, there may be some kind of resources that we want in the State of Peace, but what kind of resources Qin also needs?" Han Shu asked.

"My lord, I remembered. In the Kingdom of Seth, our people once mentioned that there are oil resources, and the Seth people rely on such resources to defeat the Anthropods. I think, yes. What the people of Qin need are. Although it is not clear how minerals are explored for such resources, minerals are generally connected for a long distance. For example, mineral deposits. According to the state of Seth, such resources may also appear in the country. Could it be that, Qin people are exploring and looking for such oil resources?" Zhang Liang said in surprise.

"Oil?" Han Shu looked at Zhang Liang.

"Qin people have never done things for no purpose. They might do it for such resources, no matter what? In this country of Seth, we must occupy an area and not allow Koreans to enter an area like ours. Otherwise, we If the situation is very bad, the oil must be oil." Han Shu said.
