After a quick survey of northern Hunan, Tang Yan took a train to Langzhou and Lizhou the next day, mainly to take a look at the inland shipyards that the "Working Party" now mastered.

After reading it, although I was a little disappointed with the crude industrial capacity, I was obviously fulfilling the requirements as much as possible.

For example, the number of inland boats with a capacity of 100 stone is already quite considerable, and a "Province 2" can be installed. Compared with "Province 1", the power is smaller, but the size has also been reduced a lot.

And they still don’t pick fuel. Four or five ships form a fleet, and one machine can pull it. The speed in the Yuanshui River is average and can be used to transport materials, which is more than enough.

One fleet can guarantee the logistics supplies of a division, and it can be done day and night, just two shifts.

Because the "Working Party" has mastered a large number of engineers and technicians, the research and development of internal combustion engines is also underway. However, due to the technical route of the company, gas power was chosen because of its limited industrial capacity and resource quantity.

There is no ability to extract oil, nor shallow oil fields, but there is the ability to produce gas...

At the same time, there are good quantities of textile industry and certain rubber industry, and simple gas storage bags can be supplied in small batches.

Without mass production, there are only a lot of places where fuel demand is very large, and it is impossible to supply them all.

Moreover, gas generators cannot be placed casually. The selected place must be convenient for shipment and ensure that they are not easily destroyed, which is quite a test of planning capabilities.

However, Tang Yan saw an internal combustion engine in Longyang County, which was a passenger bus, not open to ordinary people. Instead, employees of Longyang Inner River Shipyard would take a taxi from the county town to the shipyard.

There is only this line and only this one purpose. Once you drive it, you will almost consume the gas pack and you need to replenish gas at the gas test station.

This gas test station was also rebuilt. It was originally a military facility and had a lot of equipment left. Engineers from Nanchang transformed it into a gas generator because there are both Jianshui coal mines and refractory brick production plants in the local area.

Originally, the refractory bricks were supplied to Hanyin and Mianyang. After the warships blocked the Yangtze River, only the "Working Party" had small batch orders, mainly to use boilers with not too many.

Now it is re-operated, mainly the new generation of gas generators, which are about to start to be fully rolled out.

The characteristic of the empire is that there is a lot of coal, and no matter which province, there is no shortage of coal.

Normally, the steam engine is enough, but in order to increase unit capacity, miniaturize and portable, and for future plans, Wang Jiao still specifically approved a research and development fund.

Basically, two-thirds of the manuscript fee of "Mr. Nanhaijiao" is used to support a relatively abundant number of researchers, but it has to be said that because of this treatment, a cult leader in a certain South China Sea seems to be back as a mechanical and electrical engineer, and repeatedly stated in the letter that he had been to college...

I don’t know much about writing about Xiao Huang Wenyang’s scientific researchers. Tang Yan doesn’t know anything. If he knows, his mood will probably be very complicated.

Perhaps it is more complicated than being suddenly arrested by Guo Wei.

After Tang Yan's inspection in Langzhou was also over, he wrote a letter to his tribe in Anxiang County, Lizhou, mainly to persuade his children to make new judgments and to urge the elders in the family not to be misled by the status quo.

"...I did not suffer harsh treatment in Changsha. Wang Jun treated me the same as before. It was just because of the humiliation of being captured, which made me a little difficult to accept in the first few days. However, making this choice has nothing to do with this humiliation. It is the basic judgment and cognition brought to me by my official career..."

"The industrial and commercial activities here are quite active. Although they are not strong, they have strong vitality. The output of a worker is about two to ten times that of a private factory in Shaozhou. The multiple I mentioned is not the same worker, but the comparison between a new worker and a skilled worker and an old worker. There are not many workers here in Hunan, which is a special phenomenon I have initially observed..."

"I think the system of the empire must have reached a point of stiffness. It may even be that after World War II, it gradually died early like a zombie. When we were studying in the early days, we often took Zhang Zi's article as a warning. After all, compared with the demise of the Yan Han Dynasty and the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, we had a more advanced ruling structure. This is different, and the qualitative difference in power. The rebellion of the peasants is not as good as the industry's weapons. But now it is different. I can easily see that you, the peasants can engage in many professions when they enter the city, and of course, they are able to bear some costs."

"This time the bottom-level struggle is very different from the past. In their words, this is called the 'revolutionary program', and the direction, means, or ideas are very different."

"A particular point is that they are not arrogant, they are humble to farmers, and they are willing to listen to the needs of farmers. The farmers may be a bit inadequate to describe them as destroying their families. Because farmers are willing to receive training, discipline, go to the battlefield, and take on the support tasks that are not overstated by "excessive taxes". This is not the madness of cultists, because the environment here is stable, the society is not rigid, and people are not suppressed."

"There is no doubt that farmers can see hope and believe that they can compensate the farmers for their current efforts in the distant future. It is not a short future, but a distant future. There are many local farmers who expect their descendants to not suffer, which shocked me."

"As for now, that is, farmers only want to see all the gentry being shot, and they are very willing to attend the public trial conference. Speaking of this public trial conference, I have watched two of them with my own eyes. The scale is not large, but it is very lively."

"Unlike watching the executioners execute prisoners, they are not just watching the fun, and the cheers are extremely enthusiastic. They will also read out the crimes, one of which is exploitation. I think our Tang family is also listed."

"If you want to have a future outcome, you will not be the protagonist who is onlooked at the public trial meeting. I really hope that the elderly and young people among you will come and take a look. As for the young and strong, you should still be worried and hesitant, so you can wait and see. However, I would like to emphasize again that as the head of the family and as the former governor of Shaozhou, I can make a very responsible judgment. The current demon city is no longer the demon city 150 years ago. It no longer has the invincible sacred power."

"When the invincible cannot maintain its invincibility, it is already defeated."

“All right, Tang Hot.”
