  Chapter 659 659 What to do if you don’t do business?

 The office, which is not large, actually has a little bit of life in it. Tang Mo had been working at Anpu for a long time and had even begun to get used to everything in this small office.

 He ​​threw a pile of reports on the table and complained to several close officials in front of him: "If it weren't for these things, I wouldn't be in a hurry to throw away aircraft technology after this war."

Matthews, who came from afar, grabbed a report and only saw the "Construction Plan for the Large Ethylene Project" written on it.

He knew about the large ethylene project and knew that many engineers had recently been transferred to this project. Tang Mo planned to build an ethylene production plant in Linshui with an annual output of more than 200,000 tons to provide raw materials for the entire empire.

 And this is just an insignificant part of Tang Mo Chemical Factory: what Tang Mo wants to build is a huge modern chemical production base.

  After all, he needs plexiglass too much, plastics too much, various man-made fibers too much, and all kinds of messy chemical derivatives too much.

 A person from the 21st century really understands the importance of materials science. Chemistry can provide mankind with an almost unlimited variety of emerging materials, allowing mankind to turn past dreams into reality.

This is definitely not a joke. With this large chemical factory, Tang Mo can replace all the handguards of the MP5 submachine guns that are being mass-produced with plastic materials, making the MP5 closer to the real MP5 submachine gun!

With these chemical materials, Tang Mo can improve the cockpits of various aircraft he produces. He no longer needs to use iron bars to piece straight glass into the cockpit canopy of the aircraft!

  No joke at all, various plastics are the basis for the development of modern industry. Like steel, they support the modernization of the entire country.

Without these chemical factories that produce plastics, the world would be stuck in a steampunk state, looking at countless new technologies overhead and unable to reach them.

Parker picked up the second report, which was about Linshui Port preparing to build the second batch of port docks. The entire waterfront side, which was originally just a barren cliff, will be bulldozed and renovated, and then designed and built into a full-scale port. The world's largest shipbuilding factory.

The gantry crane there is taller than the buildings in Bunas and can lift a mountain at a time! Only with this crane can we build super ships with a tonnage of more than 50,000 tons!

Parker, who has seen the Dongwan-class battleship, knows that such a large gantry crane has not been used in the construction of the Dongwan-class battleship, so the monster to be built in the new shipbuilding plan is larger than the Dongwan-class battleship with a total displacement of 20,000 tons. A much more terrifying super battleship!

 I heard that the designers of the Navy have already come up with a 406 mm caliber gun. Although this uneven number is somewhat strange, it is technically quite mature.

Parker also heard that Matthews was experimenting with building this kind of artillery. In theory, it could attack targets 30 kilometers away, and a single shell could make a crater as big as a football field!

 Increasing the production scale of Linshui Shipyard is only part of the Tang Kingdom's shipyard construction plan. Tang State will also build another shipyard in East Bay to specialize in the production of special warships with a higher level of confidentiality.

As for what this special battleship is, Parker and Matthews are not sure. One of them only knows that there are almost no guns on that special battleship, and the other only knows that the tonnage of new battleships is generally small.

 The third document is also a large project. This large project is a plan to expand the original oil field in Qi ten times in size.

 The entire plan involves laying a long oil pipeline to connect Linshui with the oil fields in eastern Qi. In the future, all the oil produced by this oil field can be quickly transported to Linshui for processing through pipelines. It is expected that the production capacity will be increased by more than thirty times than now!

Just such a long pipeline will consume countless steel and other metals, plus pressure equipment and other messy technologies. It is expected that the entire construction plan will take two years to complete.

 In Tongcheng, Tang Mo wants to transform and expand the existing steel plant to make it the largest steel smelting base in the world.

When completed, the area of ​​this steel base will exceed that of the entire Copper City. By then, Copper City will be able to handle 50% of the total metal mining volume of the Tang Dynasty!

Another steel manufacturing base will be established in the old land of Qi, which will bear another 30% of the metallurgical production capacity. When both bases are put into use, the entire Datang Kingdom can almost replace the existing ones all over the world. The steel production capacity will be doubled again!

 This is no joke, it is tantamount to posing new challenges to ore mining technology around the world.

 Just relying on manpower for excavation and transportation is no longer able to meet the production capacity consumption of Tangguo Iron and Steel Plant. Therefore, Tang Mo must also improve his collection technology and increase the speed of ore collection in the entire world.

 The following plan is about highways across the country. In fact, when Tang Mo was drawing up this plan, he felt that it would be unlucky to build a high-standard expressway on a large scale before the war, but he still signed his name on the document for the sake of infrastructure construction.

According to the plan, Tang Mo will build more than 20,000 kilometers of highways throughout the Tang Kingdom, and supporting gas stations and maintenance points will be built at regular intervals.

At the same time, the new highway can serve as an airstrip in an emergency. If necessary, it can be closed for requisition by the troops, allowing the troops to use cars to move quickly at a speed of more than 250 kilometers per day!

  In other words, with this road system, Tang Mo's main force can be deployed to any border area he needs in only one month.

In order to build these roads faster and better, Tang Mo needs to produce enough asphalt, have enough construction machinery, and maybe build a series of manufacturing plants. In addition to these highways, Tang Mo also wants to build more railways: he wants to connect Beiyuan, Pingning, Nanye, Luozhen, Anpu, Chang'an, Tongcheng, and Linshui, and he also wants to connect Dongcheng and Linshui. Build newer and better railway lines between Wanwan and Fengshun, and between Longcheng and Weigang.

 At the same time, he also needs to find places to build new civil airports near these cities to establish a more efficient transportation network.

 With air transportation, the deployment of personnel will be more convenient, and the transportation of letters and parcels can also be more timely and faster.

The spies sent by Tang Mo only need to send the film to the border, and then hand it over to the Datang Air Force. The transport plane can send the picture information to Chang'an at a speed ten times or a hundred times before.

 What Tang Mo is more concerned about is the improvement of efficiency. In the past, if a person wanted to travel from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent, it might take him a lifetime to travel.

Now, as long as he has money and a little limit, he can do it in about a month! This increased efficiency can accelerate the development of the entire world, making communication that promotes progress unimaginably fast.

"Radar...factory? About radio equipment?" Looking at a personnel selection list in his hand, Parker realized what specific areas of production these newly built factories were engaged in.

“It’s really heartbreaking to have so many projects started almost at the same time.” Matthews also felt that Tang Mo’s construction plan was too amazing.

 In the past, if he saw one of these projects, he would probably shake his head and say that he couldn't do it at all. But now, they have seen dozens of projects of this scale in one breath, and they don’t even have any doubts.

You must know that each project here is a huge project that requires tens of thousands of workers to be trained and hundreds of thousands of construction personnel. Construction together can really keep the entire population of Tang State busy for a year or even many years.

“You know that in order to support so many projects, I have almost mortgaged my pants?” Tang Mo scratched his head and said with some self-deprecation.

"You are the richest man in the world, Your Majesty! If you run out of money, everyone in the world will probably go bankrupt." Matthews made a joke, and then realized that Tang Mo was not smiling, so he was stunned for a moment.

Parker also heard something in the brief silence. He widened his eyes and looked at Tang Mo: "Your Majesty! My God, didn't you really pay for it out of your own pocket?"

"Fan Kems told me that if I go by past standards, I'm already bankrupt." Tang Mo shrugged his shoulders, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with himself: "That's not very funny, is it? "

 He ​​pointed to the plans in front of him and said to the two of them: "I don't just have to spend 6 billion gold coins... Although this money has given me a headache, this money is nothing at all."

Tang Mo spread his hands: "What really bothers me is that I can't get you 33 million tons of steel, 500,000 tons of nickel, and 9 million tons of oil in one year..."

"In the next year, we will build 5,000 large and small factories, 40,000 buildings, repair and rebuild streets in 100 large and small towns, and build roads to connect all of them..." Tang Mo leaned on his chair, Sighing: "Gentlemen, if we don't sell things, how can we develop?"

Parker and Matthews returned the plan in their hands to Tang Mo's table, and sighed along with Tang Mo.

The army of the Tang Dynasty Group can be invincible, but until now, the number of this army has not increased enough to allow the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty to sweep the world.

 There are too few of them! There were so few that if they were thrown into the vast Dahua Empire, these troops were dispersed to the company and platoon level and could not control all the towns.

And there are not enough tanks, aircraft and artillery to arm these people! Not to mention the additional weapons and equipment needed to expand the army.
