The next morning, Emperor Zhao Xing still felt weak all over, so he continued to raise his back. The Southern Tour Inspection Team conveyed the oral order of Emperor Zhao Xing, and the schedule would be postponed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xin Qiji followed Lu Jiuyuan and Chen Liang all the way to the Chiefs' Capital for a visit.

Speaking of which, meeting Mao Geng is considered a business dealer, because Mao Geng is a shareholder of Wumin Holdings, haha, the small shareholder is also a shareholder! Moreover, Mao Geng is the special zone of Wumin Holdings has always been the largest customer. Moreover, Mao Geng is also a provider of various information and technology of Wumin Holdings.

Logically, President Xin Da should have come to the SAR on a business trip and meet Mao Geng.

In fact, there is no need for introductions from Lu Jiuyuan and Chen Liang. As a fan of Xin Qiji, Mao Geng has long been looking forward to seeing the famous Xin Qiji.

When Mao Geng and Xin Qiji were greeted, they were almost pious. Although Xin Qiji had known that Mao Geng was only twenty years old, he was still a little surprised to see such a young Mao Geng with his own eyes.

It is not surprising that Xin Qiji was surprised. In order to welcome the emperor's inspection, Mao Geng paid great attention to his image these two days. He deliberately shaved his face and looked younger after shaving off his beard that had a fluffy smell.

However, Xin Qiji did not dare to underestimate the young boy in front of him at all. At a rough look, he was indeed too young, but after careful examination, he could still feel Mao Geng's calmness and calmness. This was definitely not something that ordinary young men of this age could show.

Regarding the famous people of the Song Dynasty that Mao Geng admired, Zhu Xi was actually not ranked first, and Xin Qiji ranked first. In later generations, the poems that impressed the most in Chinese class were Xin Qiji's ". Perhaps, every man had a dream of "golden swords and iron horses", and Zhu Xi was demonized in the May Fourth Anti-Confucianism in later generations and the subsequent Movement of Destruction of the Four Olds. Therefore, in Mao Geng's mind, Zhu Xi could only be ranked behind Xin Qiji, and even after Lu Jiuyuan and Lu You.

Of course, Mao Geng would not admit that there may be Yan Rui's factor. After all, Zhu Xi was the one who punished Yan Rui who was as beautiful as a flower in the past.

Although he was an authentic Xin fan, Mao Geng knew that this was not the time to chase stars. After expressing his warm respect, the guests and hosts sat on the wide sofa.

Soon, the tea and dim sum were served on the tea table, and Mao Geng dim sum dim sum dim sum was dim sum, which made Chen Liang laugh:

"Yi Sheng, I didn't see that etiquette has improved greatly! Not bad, not bad, in order to welcome the official family, it seems that Yi Sheng has not done much homework."

Mao Gengxin said that in our mind, Zhao Sheng is just an emperor who is quite competent in his job. If he hadn't traveled to the Chunxi period, I would have no impression of Zhao Shengzhen. Now because he is the emperor, I have to show great respect on the surface. In fact, it is better to say awe than respect! And for Xin Qiji, Lu Jiuyuan and you, Chen Liang, that is a real respect. However, you can't say this. Well, our attitude seems a bit too attentive, which reminds you that this is a gift to please the emperor. You have to understand it like that.

Next, Xin Qiji and Mao Geng talked about a lot of topics, and the part about Jiaxuan's poems was just a few sentences, and Xin Qiji was disbanded.

Xin Qiji is actually a pragmatic person. First of all, he is concerned about the market demand on Mao Geng. Mao Group has a strong demand for copper, zinc and manganese, and Wugang Holdings has been increasing production. Xin Qiji is very curious. Mao Group seems to be a bottomless pit for three metals, and I don’t know if this is true.

Mao Geng smiled and thought to himself, it seems that this President Xin is still very sensitive to the market economy! No! In fact, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, including Zhao Sheng, are very sensitive to the market economy.

So Mao Geng introduced the current market demand in truth.

Considering the development of the power industry, as well as the development momentum of steam power, gas industry, internal combustion engine power, etc., there is no doubt that the demand for copper is of course increasing.

Copper is used in a large number of steam boilers (or pressure vessels) and a large number of steam-powered pipe valves. This is because the riveting technology of steel pressure vessels is really a high-tech job in Mao Geng's opinion, so he had to use simple copper to produce pressure vessels, pipelines, valves and other key parts. In fact, the earliest steam engines in real history also used a lot of copper. Nowadays, welding of copper is a mature technology, and using copper to use pressure vessels and pipelines is a reassuring choice. In short, it is much more reliable than using steel riveting to produce boilers.

Perhaps, steel welding will be practical soon, but at least in front of us, steel welding technology is still in the process of exploring.

The second is the use of gas in the power of vehicles and ships. The pressure-resistant gas storage tank can only use copper for the time being. This is a problem. In order not to occupy too much volume of the vehicle and ship, gas can only be compressed to be more practical. For example, taxis that used natural gas as fuel in later generations, natural gas storage tanks must be limited in volume, and large proportion compression storage is the only option. Otherwise, like the buses in the 1950s, they had to carry a huge gas bag on the roof.

Finally, it is the demand of the power industry, which is really a bottomless pit, wires, enameled wires of motors and generators. All of them are big copper-consuming customers.

Therefore, the demand for copper is theoretically endless. Of course, this depends on the investment ability of fixed assets. Mao Geng humbly evaluates himself. His investment ability is limited - or poor, the digestive ability of the Special Administrative Region actually depends on the investment ability of the Song Dynasty.

Mao Geng joked that if Lin'an took the lead in preparing for power lighting, it is estimated that no matter how President Xin expands his production capacity, he will not be able to meet the market demand of the Song Dynasty.

Mao Geng even felt in his heart that if necessary, he might as well melt all the copper coins of the Song Dynasty and replace them with steel. Of course, this cannot be said for the time being.

As for zinc and manganese, although demand is increasing day by day, it is not as good as copper. However, in the near future, the demand for tungsten ore will increase significantly.

In short, President Xin will not be idle.

Xin Qiji is very excited about the market prospects.

However, another important purpose of Xin Qiji's visit to the SAR this time is to go to the Iron Factory. Whether as a shareholder of Wugang Holdings or as the top manager of SAR securities, Xin Qiji has to seek Mao Geng's support.

When Xin Qiji introduced the project concept, Mao Geng was a little shocked. Could it be that the "Hanyeping" company in history wanted to change its vest to land in the Song Dynasty?

Mao Geng even had an impulse for a moment, and wanted to propose to Xin Qiji to set up the iron plant in Hanyang. However, after calming down, he still suggested to set up the iron plant directly in Daye. Originally, Yue Fei built some infrastructure in Daye. At the same time, based on cost control considerations, of course, it was necessary to save some freight. Daye Special Steel was very popular for a while, and Daye Special Steel was still a listed company. Daye's iron plant site should be better than Hanyang and Jiujiang.

Mao Geng certainly supported Wugang Holdings' opening of an iron factory. Only one day earlier did the barbaric nation not have the opportunity to subvert advanced civilization like the Song Dynasty. This is also something Mao Geng has been working hard to do.

Moreover, the demand for steel in industrial development will be infinite. Think about the annual output of several hundred million tons of steel in the later generations. The current steel output of the Song Dynasty is not even a fraction of the steel. Power, working mother machines, shipbuilding, guns and cannons, and Zhu Xi's version of the "iron armored chariot", all of which are inseparable from steel.

Mao Geng didn't mention the "iron armored chariot". When he mentioned this "iron armored chariot", he immediately became the focus of the field.

Xin Qiji asked:

"Can this iron armored chariot be easily crushed by the Jin soldiers after it is built?"

"Easy to roll" is Chen Liang's exaggerated term. From the source, we can infer that it is mostly indoctrinated by Liu Wenbin and Long Jiu. Considering that Chen Liang is used to writing science fiction novels and his thoughts are imaginative, in the novel, in addition to exaggeration, Xin Qiji thinks that it is good to believe that Chen Liang is three points.

As for Zhu Xi's unlimited confidence in the words of "iron armored chariot", Xin Qiji felt that perhaps Wang Po was selling melons and boasting, and the old man was old and suddenly took over a new thing, which was understandable.

Xin Qiji had never seen the appearance of an iron-armored chariot, for fear that the thing was not much more intelligent than the Spring and Autumn version of the chariot. Therefore, Xin Qiji wanted to find Mao Geng to verify it.

Mao Geng thought to himself, it seems that Xin Qiji really has a heavy heart knot, no! Lu Jiuyuan and Chen Liang are actually the same, and they have a heavy heart knot. The three common heart knots are the Jingkang tragedy caused by Jin imperialism. They have never forgotten this shameful history.

Now Xin Qiji's question looks like a military fan in later generations asking questions to "experts". For example, a military fan raising his hand on a TV show asked Zhang Quzu. The most likely question is: Can the J-10 be able to defeat the US F22? Needless to say, this military fan definitely hopes to hear a positive answer like "definitely, must and affirmative".

Basically, later generations of Celestial Chronicles have such a tendency to be intentional/lewd. Whenever the Celestial Chronicle has new weapons, military fans will immediately think of similar weapons that are leading the world of the US imperialism. Military fans, in the name of intentional/lewd, directly believe that the Celestial Chronicle's weapons are comprehensively surpassed, at least partially surpassed. Such a phenomenon can be seen everywhere in various military fans. This may be because of the oppression of US imperialism!

Including Mao Geng in his previous life, he basically had a dream - one day the Celestial Empire will definitely crush American imperialism.

Given that later Celestial military fans, including Mao Geng, always want to overwhelm American imperialism, the future tells history that the Song Dynasty military fans in this time and space are actually no different from the future military fans.

Considering that Jin imperialism is the number one imperialist in the minds of the Song Dynasty military fans, there is no doubt that Song Dynasty military fans also have the paranoia of persecution oppression of Jin imperialism. Therefore, it is not surprising that Song Dynasty military fans, including senior military fans like Xin Qiji, dream of suppressing Jin imperialism.

Chen Liang overcame the Jin imperialism in his fantasy novels. When writing books, he probably felt very happy. Mao Geng thought so.

How to answer Xin Qiji?

It's better to be objective.

"I can only say that in theory, iron armored chariots can restrain the Jin people's cavalry, and there is no doubt about this! However, the shaping of iron armored chariots takes time, practicing the appropriate tactics of iron armored chariots takes time, and producing iron armored chariots takes time. It takes more copper, more steel, more technicians, and more money. Without three to five years, without 30 to 50 million jin of money, relying on iron armored chariots to crush the Jin soldiers is only a dream."

When Mao Geng said this, he actually had his own dream.

Three old military fans of the Song Dynasty, dear! What we are staring at is no longer Jin imperialism, but the Mongolian imperialism in the future. No! To be precise, it is the barbaric imperialism of all backward civilizations. What I, Mao Geng, hopes to see is that the Song Dynasty will be armed with black technology earlier and armed to the point where any barbaric nation cannot be gnawed by cavalry and cold weapons. This is my Mao Geng, dream.

As for whether the Song Dynasty was for one lifetime and two lifetimes, Mao Geng didn't care. What Mao Geng cared about was that the people on horseback, such as the Dayuan and the Qing Dynasty, lived honestly under the "axiom" of cannons, grazing, fishing and hunting, and did whatever they should do, and did not dare to have any wrong thoughts. Taking a step back would be considered a wrong thought, but due to the difference in weapon generation, they would only be crushed.
