New Ming Empire mixed in America

Correcting typo...

After the messenger left, Li Mingqi quickly asked Liu Erhe to inform Liu Youcai about the appreciation of the game currency (slip of the tongue)...the stainless steel crown currency.

I used to think that aluminum was valuable, but I didn't expect that this kind of currency, which is more beautiful than silver, would be so valuable now that stainless steel has not appeared.

After hearing what the envoy said about the large number of Chinese in Peru, Li Mingqi immediately couldn't sit still.

He took Liu Erhe and rushed to the shipyard. It would be impossible without an ironclad ship.

It is even more unrealistic to rely on Li Mingqi to buy an engine. Now even the small engine on the rubber boat can only be thrown into the warehouse to collect dust after it breaks down, let alone the marine engine.

Even if it can be purchased, no one will use it, and repairing it is even more unthinkable.

Therefore, we still have to follow the old routine of steam engines, and then slowly improve the cultural knowledge of the people of the empire.

As for the current big bosses like Liu Erhe, Li Mingqi does not expect them to understand what scientific development is.

Only now did Liu Erhe become proficient in spelling Chinese characters. Liu Youcai had to break many rulers for this.

Therefore, the current Xinming Empire uses a combination of pinyin and simplified characters.

At one time, some people in the Xinming Empire even proposed the idiotic idea of ​​abolishing Chinese characters and replacing them with pinyin.

Later generations of madman Lu, Duxiu Chen and others also called for the abolition of some Chinese characters and the use of Latinization, but please note that these people advocated the simplification of complex Chinese characters.

Sound familiar? Yes, it’s simplified Chinese.

There are a lot of public accounts saying what these people are doing out of context, so just listen to it.

(If anyone else follows you and makes noise, I’ll give you a smack on the head)

When he arrived at the shipyard, Li Mingqi found that there was some minor commotion inside.

Liu Erhe immediately pulled out his pistol and led his guards to protect Li Mingqi.

Li Mingqi looked at Liu Erhe and the others' nervous expressions, and had no choice but to let them protect him and retreat outside the shipyard to wait.

Not long after, Jin Yiwei, who was responsible for protecting the safety of the shipyard, walked out of the shipyard with two old white men.

After seeing Li Mingqi, the leading captain came over and reported: "Long live the Lord, these two old foreign devils... old guys..."

After thinking for a long time, the captain found the right words to call these "semi-naturalized whites" who were forcibly 'employed'.

The so-called "semi-naturalized whites" are those white people who are willing to work for the Xinming Empire but refuse to join it.

"Long live my lord, these two white gentlemen had a quarrel over the steam engine, and it even turned into a fight, so that's why..."

The captain of the Jinyiwei team, who blushed at the name, finally told the story.

In fact, the thing is very simple, that is, two old men.

One said that alcohol is the best source of power for steam engines. The other said that gas is the best source of power. In the end, just arguing was not enough, and the two staged a full-scale martial arts show.

Listening to the thoughts of these two old men, Li Mingqi raised his eyebrows and said: "They have been locked up for a period of time to study "Struggle" and "On Loyalty to the King". If they cannot memorize it, don't let them out."

I didn't expect that these two old guys were quite imaginative. Why didn't they study how to enlarge the steam engine they gave them and install it on the ship? Why did they come here to make inventions?

It’s really unreasonable, it’s simply not doing your job properly!

It's enough to have a Royal Academy for inventions and creations, why are these people just joining in the fun?

After waving the captain of the Jinyiwei team away, Li Mingqi walked into the shipyard.

The iron shell of the current steam merchant ship has basically been welded. Except that the welding area is really ugly, there are no other shortcomings.

The welding workers are without exception citizens of the Xinming Empire.

In the current Xinming Empire, all advanced technical positions are generally operated by the people of the empire.

For example, the mechanical team in Yingtianfu, which relies on several small excavators and bulldozers to practice their skills, strives to make greater contributions to the Xinming Empire in the future.

Another example is the young people who are responsible for controlling machine tools in the Royal Academy, those who play with printers, and those who manage hydraulic generators.

These people are the most important talents in the empire at this stage, and they enjoy the protection of Jin Yiwei, not to mention the treatment of being allocated houses and land.

Looking at this ironclad ship that was used for engineers and technicians to practice, Li Mingqi felt a burst of pride in his heart.

As long as a mature steam engine is designed, the entire west coast will be under the control of the Xinming Empire.

Li Mingqi doesn't have a big plan now. His temporary strategic plan is to slowly take over California and then set up lease zones in major cities along the west coast.

Finally, a route was set up between San Francisco and the Puppet Qing Dynasty that was completely controlled by the New Ming Empire.

For example, Hawaii, Midway Island, even Waguo Island, and the Korean Peninsula all have stopping points for the Xinming Empire.

Let the immigrants happily come to Xinming to farm for His Majesty Li Mingqi.

When we walked into the steam engine research room, the engineers here had already enlarged a Stirling steam engine.

But this crudely enlarged engine can only barely run.

There is still a long way to go before it can be installed on a battleship.

However, these people also began research on the connection between steam engines and propellers.

At least it is much more advanced than the paddle wheels on both sides of current merchant ships.

Although complete propeller technology is now available, Li Mingqi still hopes to build a propeller-powered ironclad ship belonging to the New Ming Empire based on steam engines.

It has nothing to do with national pride, it is simply because Li Mingqi wanted to involve the young people and craftsmen of the Xinming Empire in a complete exploration and research.

He has now discovered that those so-called scholars who have attended private schools for several years are far less capable of accepting new knowledge than those young people and craftsmen who have just learned Pinyin and studied elementary physics for a period of time.

Just opening one's mouth is the ancestral method...otherwise it would be a big headache for Li Mingqi if it were not for how a scholar can carry out a lowly career.

Therefore, the empire's talent pool is the most important thing. If you can cooperate well with a certain governor of California who wishes to remain anonymous.

When going to immigrate to the Qing Dynasty in the future, we should give priority to families with children.

After all, education should start from childhood, as for the white children in the current umbrella schools...

It is better to let Chinese children learn such difficult things. You only need to study the works of His Majesty the Emperor.

Although the shipyard's traditional technology tree develops slowly, the Royal Academy's skill tree is still very reliable.

Mr. Li, who gave up researching mortar repeaters, has been resting on his laurels during this period. It’s not appropriate to say that he is still on his laurels. He has also made some innovations.

For example, the electric rotary machine gun currently in the National Defense Forces company is an attempt by Lao Li.

At first, he connected the rotating machine gun to the generator. Later, after burning two generators in succession, Li Mingqi had to take out the battery on the battery car, which solved the power problem of the rotating rifle.

This time Lao Li developed a new product and invited Li Mingqi to give his opinions.

When Li Mingqi arrived at the research workshop dedicated to Lao Li at the Royal Academy, he was stunned by the big guy in front of him.
