I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Wuxi and Jiaxing, which was empty of troops, conquered one after another, and counties, towns and towns around Songjiang looked down.

With little effort, Wu Changqing completely controlled Wu Song.

The war had come to an end, and Wu Changqing began to devote his energy to development.

On this day, he had someone carry a Jenny weaving machine to a new workshop, which was used to produce non-military products.

"What is this, the spinning machine?"

Wu Zhiyue is also well-informed, and at a glance, he can see that this machine seems to be used for spinning. However, the spinning machines he had seen in the past had only one sideways spindle.

However, the spinning machine in front of me has as many as eight spindles. Does such a machine work?

"This is called a multi-wheel spinning machine. It is controlled by hand and can spin 8 cotton threads at the same time."

Wu Changqing chose a random name, in short, he can no longer be called Jenny Spinning Machine. On Huaxia's side, the ghost knows what Jenny is.

This Jenny spinning machine looks very simple, and it does not have any high-tech shadow, but the appearance of this spinning machine marks the beginning of the industrial revolution.

This machine liberates manpower and makes the formation of factories possible.

Moreover, because the efficiency is greatly improved, the cost of cotton thread will be greatly reduced. This spinning machine is combined with a shuttle that can greatly improve the efficiency of weaving. The manufacture of cloth will become extremely simple and fast, and the cost can be five or six times lower than the original.

This ultra-low-cost fabric can be dumped all over the world without any rivals in price.

Clothes, food, shelter and transportation are at the forefront. People may be able to hold back a meal or two, but not many adults can tolerate running down the street with their bare bottoms.

Clothes are just in need, something that everyone must consume.

In this era, clothing and cloth have the largest global market and are the easiest to sell goods.

After all, tea and porcelain are only luxury goods with limited sales. Moreover, once others are out of money, they can hold back and not buy. However, clothes are necessities of life and must be bought.

Once these cheap fabrics are dumped in other countries, it is enough to collapse the local textile industry.

In the original time and space, Britain relied on the dumping of cloth and overseas colonial plundering of raw materials to complete the accumulation of capital, thus starting a vigorous industrial revolution.

Today, this revolution is led by Wu Changqing, led by this multi-wheeled loom and that flying shuttle.

This humble textile machine has a pivotal position in human history.

"Look carefully."

Wu Changqing personally demonstrated the operation of the textile machine.

Seeing those cotton threads spun out at the same time, Wu Zhiyue's mouth couldn't close in surprise.

He couldn't imagine how much impact this machine could bring to the world, but he knew that this spinning machine could reduce the cost of spinning seven or eight times.

Who can stop the cotton thread spun by this machine?

This kind of money-making weapon, I am afraid that the imperial court will be jealous if they know about it.

"This thing is still our top-secret machine. You must find some reliable and trustworthy craftsmen to make a large number of imitations, and at the same time secretly buy a large number of cotton and hemp. When the number of machines is enough, start spinning and weaving, and then occupy the cloth at a low price in one fell swoop. The market. These machines have a simple structure and are very easy to leak. You must strictly guard those craftsmen, and I will send soldiers to assist you.”

Wu Changqing didn't want to announce this thing to the world for the time being, because he needed to earn military pay.

Only when there is no shortage of military salaries will he promote this kind of good stuff across the country.

"Risheng, don't worry, I understand the importance of this thing very well, and I will take good care of it. This is the source of our Wu family's wealth. Whoever wants to attack the idea of ​​this textile machine is our mortal enemy."

Wu Zhiyue gritted his teeth.

Wu Changqing only found it funny when he saw him like this. It was just a textile machine. It was really too childish, and he had a lot of good things.

After occupying Wusong and other places, Wu Changqing currently controls an area of ​​9,800 square kilometers with a population of more than 2.7 million.

During this period, the area with the highest population density was in Huainan. In the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, Suzhou Prefecture alone had a population of 2 million.

However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, due to wars, famine and many other reasons, the population here was also greatly reduced.

The skinny camels were bigger than horses, and even though they suffered several months of war and slaughtered several cities, their population was still far ahead of other places.

In some places in the north, such as Xuzhou Prefecture, there are only a total of hundreds of thousands of people.

On the Huainan side, there are hundreds of thousands or millions in any government.

After occupying Wu Song, as long as he doesn't waste money, Wu Changqing really has no shortage of resources and technology points.

In order to control this expanding territory, Wu Changqing spent another 100,000 resource points in exchange for 2,000 flintlock guns and some bullets.

In addition to the original 1,400 flintlock guns, his current flintlock force has 3,400 people.

Moreover, the flintlock guns in the armory can produce 10 shots per day.

With such a powerful flintlock troop, he no longer needs to invest resource points in weapons.

His resource points began to be used for construction, such as the exchange of Jenny's textile machine and shuttle.

In terms of technology, he also lit up the manufacturing technology of glass and the manufacturing technology of toothpaste. These technologies are also

The brain was handed over to Wu Zhiyue to deal with.

After finishing this, Wu Changqing checked his system panel.

Host: Wu Changqing.

Resource points: about 110,000/294,000.

Technology points: about 2.56 million/2.7 million.

Mastering techniques: arquebus, flintlock, gunpowder, spring, flint, soap, soap......

Resource points are spent faster, and although there are many technology points left, they are still not enough compared to those technologies that need to be lit.

If nothing else, it would take almost 100 million technology points to light up all the technologies required to build an aircraft carrier.

Now the world's population is between 600 million and 700 million. For China alone, the current national population is only about 100 million.

"You still have to save it."

Wu Changqing sighed with emotion. At the same time, he was also thinking about how to promote education.

It is a fantasy to build a country by just one person. After all, it is still up to everyone to work together. Even if he has mastered those advanced technologies, he has to teach others to convert them into productivity.

He needs to cultivate a group of high-quality talents and impart advanced scientific knowledge to these talents.

When those people are cultivated, they will be able to rely on their own wisdom to make some scientific inventions and save Wu Changqing's scientific and technological points.

And only by cultivating a large number of modern talents, can we master those technologies that are far beyond this era.

Even if Wu Changqing developed the technology of making steam engines, he could not find anyone to study imitation, because few people knew what piston motion was, and no one knew about energy conversion.
