Chapter 605: 605 supply limit

Chapter 605 605 Supply Limit

 Sometimes, rapid development comes at a cost. Environmental protection is indeed important, but for the sake of development speed, sometimes we have to make some sacrifices.

The Tang Kingdom was not powerful enough to place heavily polluting factories in other countries. Even heavy-polluting enterprises such as smelters and chemical plants are still under construction.

Tang Mo is not ignorant of the fact that it is more difficult and labor-intensive to treat pollution afterward. But he really has no way to ensure that environmental protection work will be carried out at the same time as industrialization.

 On the one hand, he lacks the corresponding technology, and on the other hand, he also lacks enough talents.

In terms of technology, Tang Mo prioritizes developing branches that are urgently needed, but after all, he is only one person, so he can only choose and plan by himself which technologies to develop and which technologies to temporarily abandon.

Tang Mo did not do well enough when it came to technical choices regarding Lei. This is still a weapon technology, and Tang Mo knows it very well.

Tang Mo has not invested any energy in research and development of environmentally friendly technologies. This resulted in similar work being left to the people below to "research on their own."

 The actual situation is that Datang Group’s environmental protection technology R&D team has a total of two people, and all their research is still in the theoretical stage.

At present, Tang State is still frantically improving the literacy rate and cultivating more professional talents, and has no time to train environmental protection professionals.

 What he wants to ensure now is sufficient food production and sufficient industrial production capacity. And if you want to do this, it can be said that you have tried your best.

All the universities and high schools in the Tang Kingdom trained more than half of the talents who entered the army, and a smaller half became administrative talents.

 In addition, engineers, technical workers, high-end technical personnel, etc. will allocate a part. Are the remaining talents just waiting to be acquired?

 This is not a world where college students are inferior to dogs and where masters and doctors are everywhere! This is an era when you only need 5 weeks of training and know 500 words to find a job!

What Tang Mo worries about every day is: he needs to produce dozens of tanks and dozens of aircraft every day, and he needs to produce a battleship or a freewheeler every week.

 The workers of Datang Group work non-stop every day, but they are unable to meet Tang Mo's demand with production capacity. There is no spare manpower to worry about the pollution problem.

 All the talents have been divided up by more important departments, and the remaining people are illiterate. They are more concerned about how much edible food is left in the rice vat at home.

 In this world, 80% of ordinary people do not know what diabetes is or how terrible cancer is.

For them, it is not an unbearable thing to be coughed by the choking smoke when they go out: compared with hunger and poverty, the choking smoke is nothing to mention!

Environmental friendly? Are you kidding me? Hasn't Chang'an not turned into a foggy city yet? Isn’t the river water drunk to death yet? Isn’t it possible to grow crops on colorful land?

 For people in this era, environmental pollution is just an unfamiliar word. No one cares, no one cares.

Even though Tang Mo did have concerns in this regard, he was just worried about it. Most people in this world think there is nothing wrong with pouring polluted water directly into rivers.

As for a few more skin disease patients in a certain place, and some strange diseases appearing somewhere, it is just a normal thing.

 Do you know how many beggars starved to death every day in this place last year? When people don’t even have enough to eat and don’t take a shower once a year, who cares about carbon emissions?

 O God, the white smoke billowing in those cement chimneys every day is not pollution, it is the hope of hundreds of poor, naked people to live!

What's more, compared to the world Tang Mo was familiar with, this world was as pure as a piece of white paper. The environmental pollution here is simply too small to be mentioned on the table.

All the chemical factories of Datang Group work overtime day and night, and none of them will emit as much toxic substances in one minute as a giant chemical company in later generations.

The workers of the Tang Kingdom were building new factories crazily every day. However, looking at the map, these factories were scattered throughout the kingdom and were still sparse and pitiful.

 In fact, with the exception of Chang'an and Tongcheng, the air in other industrial cities in the Tang Kingdom was not bad. At least compared to the world Tang Mo was familiar with, the air quality in these cities could be described as excellent.

 After all, cities such as Longcheng, Weigang, Fengshun, Dongwan, and Linshui are actually coastal cities, and the sea breeze has long carried the smoke and dust emitted to distant places.

It’s not that Tang Mo doesn’t pay attention to environmental protection, it’s just that he doesn’t have time to take care of this aspect now.

Datang Group’s environmental protection actions are still at the stage of planting trees: the group employs a large number of farmers and replenishes some saplings every day to maintain the basic size of the forest.

This is actually much better than those powerful countries during the Industrial Revolution in Tang Mo's previous life. At least Tang Mo took some actions and did not keep pretending to be stupid until the last moment.

However, because the technology cannot keep up and there is a shortage of personnel, the current Tang Kingdom can only stay at the embarrassing stage of dealing with environmental pollution at fifty steps and laughing at a hundred steps.

"Let's go!" Just like that, the middle-aged man pointed forward, walked out of the airport with his young apprentice and assistant, and stood under the bus stop sign outside the airport.

There is no way. Of all the departments of Datang Group, only the Environmental Improvement Project Department does not have cars. This is evident from its attitude towards environmental protection. Although there will always be a day when they regret it, it is indeed a fact that environmental issues are not taken seriously now.

The miserable two people just stood under the bus stop sign, watching the cars passing by them one after another.

 Some are cars sent by government departments to pick up people, and some are drivers who have received telegrams to pick up their friends or bosses. By the time the two of them got on the bus and arrived at Linshui City with a bumpy ride, their stomachs were already roaring with hunger.

Moreover, the best morning time has passed, so they had to reveal their identities, stay here for one night, and go to investigate the seafood market early the next morning.

"Environment? Protection? How sick do you have to be to support idiots like you two?" After hearing their identities, the old lady in the guest house who was responsible for entertaining them looked disdainful: "I have only had enough food for a few days. , just enough to hold up..."

On the fifth day after the air force attacked and destroyed the Cyric airship force, the Tang Army’s intelligence department finally confirmed the scale of the Cyric maritime fleet’s attack.

 Cyric's own fleet consists of about 5 cruisers and about 20 destroyers. Together with Gobel's 10 cruisers and 10 destroyers, they formed this sneak attack fleet.

 In fact, the Lions Empire, the Ice Empire, the Dorne Empire, and the Poplar Kingdom have not sent their own fleets to explore this muddy water.

They are afraid of Tang Mo's fleet attacking their rich port: you know, their profit this time is mainly focused on snatching the "territory" of the Datang Group.

imagine what would happen to the Endless Sea if ports such as Neverwinter City, Rewind Port, Bunas, Osa, Nanshui, and Everwinter City were all destroyed by the Tang Group’s warships.

However, since Cyric had the idea of ​​attacking Dragon Island, they would not worry about the Tang Kingdom's retaliation, so they took advantage of Gobel's navy and attacked Dragon Island aggressively.

With 15 cruisers and 30 destroyers, Cyric deployed almost all of his naval assets this time.

It’s a pity that what they don’t know is that the Tang Kingdom’s navy has been lingering nearby at Ha Long Island, waiting for the arrival of Cyric’s sneak attack fleet!

 The Tang Kingdom’s naval fleet had 3 battleships, 15 cruisers, and 20 destroyers.

In terms of combat effectiveness on paper, the Tang Navy clearly had the upper hand. Their three battleships could easily destroy Cyric's sneak attack fleet.

As for why there are no battleships on Cyric's side, it's because they sold all the battleships they built to the Mirage Navy...

"Dorne's fleet has been found... In addition to the previously confirmed fleet of the Lions Empire and the fleet of the Ice Empire... most of the fleets have confirmed their positions." Leo confidently reported the information to Tang Mo Departmental results.

"Our people hiding in Gobol haven't sent back any news yet." Then he added.

 Tang Mo nodded slightly and did not speak. He just nodded and then looked at the person in charge of the air force.

 Since the success of radio navigation, the air force stationed on Long Island has carried out daily patrol and search work. Led by an experienced veteran instructor, four aircraft were grouped together to continuously monitor and search the waters near Long Island.

This was not available in previous Air Force training projects, but now in order to perform sea attack missions, all Air Force pilots have added sea search and attack training.

"Your Majesty! We haven't found this fleet yet...but according to fuel calculations, they should show up soon." The air force liaison officer assured with his chin high.

Tang Mo nodded again: The enemy's fleet is not nuclear-powered, so they naturally have a limit to their endurance. The longer time passes, the closer Cyric's sneak attack fleet is to its supply limit.

“Continue to monitor the airspace near Dragon Island! Once you discover the enemy fleet, report it to me immediately!” He casually ordered.

 He has been in good spirits recently because his finance minister went back to Chang'an to work. So he slept well at night, and at least he no longer had to pay public food.

“Yes! Your Majesty!” the Air Force Liaison Officer responded, standing at attention and saluting.
