Magic Underachiever

Sophia showed her hand slightly, causing Marquis Whitehead to suppress his growing arrogance.

Why did the Marquis invite Daliang to the Governor's Mansion? Not only because this makes it more grand, but also because this is my home court. There are the most elite royal musketeers in the Governor's Palace, as well as guards trained by the Whitehead family. In addition to demonstrating the identity of Governor Marcellus, these forces are also a deterrent force.

Marquis Whitehead actually prepared a variety of plans for this meeting with Master Liang.

If the conversation goes well, Master Liang will be a distinguished guest.

If the negotiation is not good, then he will be a prisoner.

Obviously the conversation is not very good now. The Marquis wanted the special metal smelting technology in Daliang's hands, but Daliang not only refused to sell it, but also gave him a small share of the shares like a charity. This was already a serious provocation to the Whitehead family and the empire.

But Sofia made the Marquis give up the idea of ​​taking action in an instant.

The Marquis didn't know how Sophia took the metal rod away from him. Perhaps it was a more advanced use of space skills. She could take away the metal rod under her nose and have the ability to insert the metal rod into her chest. The space skills are really hard to guard against, and now his life is in the hands of Master Liang.

In this case, we definitely cannot use force, so we can only talk. First stabilize Master Liang, build this steel factory, and then find a way to obtain the smelting technology of those special metals.

A smile appeared on Marquis Whitehead's face again, and he said: "Since Master Liang insists not to sell, as a friend I will not ask for it forcefully. The Whitehead family can provide you with everything to build a steel plant, but you give Our shares are really too small.

As the sole investor, I can immediately inject 10 million gold into the steel plant as the first phase of investment, but I want 80% of the shares of the steel plant. "

Daliang made it clear that he wanted to be an iron rooster: "Your Majesty, if it were not for some special reasons, I would not have let anyone participate in the construction of this steel plant.

Just give me a little time and I can raise enough money to own all the equity in this steel plant.

The special steel I just showed you is not much different from ordinary steel in terms of manufacturing cost. If you pay a premium of 20 or 30%, I can sell my steel all over the world and build more Multiple branches.

In the next ten years, our steel production can account for 50% or more of the world's steel production. How much is 0.5% equity? I think the Marquis should be very clear that for you... this investment is definitely an opportunity. "

Marquis Whitehead did not expect that the manufacturing cost of these special steels would be so low. If these steels were manufactured in large quantities, there would be no way for other steel plants to survive. The low cost means that the smelting process is not complicated, and explosive expansion can be completed by acquiring bankrupt steel plants.

Half of the world's steel production in ten years is a conservative estimate. As long as Master Liang can ensure that the smelting technology and alloy ratio are not leaked, the whole world will look at his face.

0.5% of the shares may not seem like much, but if there is a large base number in front of the multiplication sign, the resulting number will be very scary.

The Marquis said solemnly: "Do you want to sell these special steels to the whole world? I think it is better to supply them to the Fromenk Empire in the early stage... The empire now has a plan to form a new navy. The empire shipyard will build a new navy in the future. Within ten years, nearly a hundred battleships of various types, including ten battleships, were built.

The demand for steel is very high.

If all the empire's warships used this steel, it would be the strongest fleet in the world. "

This was a large order, and the Marquis also showed off the empire's financial and military strength. Who wants to say: "Then suspend your shipbuilding plan, at least don't build big and stupid battleships yet.

Keep the money and I'll give you better weapons. "

Marquis Whitehead did not expect that Master Liang would have the ambition to get involved in the arms industry, which is a very sensitive industry. He asked: "Blackfire Company wants to build a battleship, but you can't even build an engine."

Daliang smiled and said: "Although the new engine has not been researched yet, it can be purchased! Blackfire Company does not plan to build a warship yet, but wants to build this first..."

Sophia took out a piece of paper and handed it to Da Liang. Da Liang put the paper on the table and folded it into a paper airplane, then gently threw it towards the Marquis. The paper plane glided steadily over the dining table and landed in front of the Marquis.

Da Liang said: "This is a fixed-wing aircraft that is very different from the Silver Wing flying method. I call it an airplane. It uses power more directly and does not need as many steam nozzles as the Silver Wing, one or two. The nozzles all eject steam backward to push the aircraft forward, and then the aircraft gains lift through the wings and flies up.

Since the aircraft uses energy more directly and has a lower drag coefficient than the Silver Wing, the aircraft will fly faster than the Silver Wing with the same power of steam heat core. "

Marquis Whitehead picked up the paper airplane and looked at it carefully, but his expression was not very interested in Daliang's idea.

The design idea for fixed-wing aircraft has been around for a long time, but so far no fixed-wing aircraft has achieved ideal flight performance. The reason is that the silver-wing technology is too mature, leaving no room for development of fixed-wing aircraft. There are also flaws in the fuselage design. Fixed-wing aircraft are very unstable and can easily lose control and stumble. Designers often use the addition of steam nozzles as an improvement, but then they change it again and again into a silver wing.

Therefore, silver wings and airships have become the mainstream design directions for manned flight.

But Da Liang knew that airplanes flew faster than silver wings and were more suitable for long-distance transportation than airships. In addition, due to the simple flight method of the aircraft, the requirements for the pilot are far less high than those of the Silver Wing.

There is no decent fixed-wing aircraft in this world, and the reason is that there is a high-power magic thermonuclear steam direct injection engine. There is no propeller aircraft to accumulate aircraft design experience, summarize the aerodynamics, and directly use a steam direct injection engine that is more direct and powerful than a turbojet engine. The design of the airframe is not generally difficult.

"About the aircraft... we can put it aside for now and talk about it again when we have the opportunity." Now, Marquis Whitehead's mind is full of special steel, and he can't tell what the future of aircraft will look like. He put the paper airplane aside and said to Daliang: "The Whitehead family invested too much in your steel plant and received too little initial return.

I suggest that the Whitehead family owns 70% of the shares in the first steel plant. For each subsequent steel plant of the same size, the Whitehead family's total shareholding decreases by 10%, and so on... The bottom line is five percent of the original stake. "
