Chapter 843 Technology Upgrade

Royal Academy of Sciences, Wu Changqing is inspecting new scientific research achievements.

As early as half a year ago, he selected some people to form a special scientific research group to study plastics.

The importance and significance of plastics can basically be compared with technologies such as steam engines, internal combustion engines, and rubber.

From the exchange price, it can be seen that the scientific and technological principles of plastics, as well as the relevant knowledge of manufacturing methods and technological processes, cost Wu Changqing three million scientific and technological points.

In later generations, plastics are deeply embedded in human life, and human beings are completely inseparable from plastics.

Although plastic is difficult to decompose, it will cause environmental pollution.

But compared to the convenience they bring to life, this pollution is perfectly acceptable.

Plastics have many advantages, such as strong corrosion resistance, light weight and robustness, easy and cheap processing, etc., and are widely used.

It can be used for daily necessities, insulating materials, and special functions.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after our day and night research, we have successfully mastered a low-cost plastic production method."

Qiao Guofeng, the project leader, said.

With the full set of technology provided by Wu Changqing, they actually made plastics very early, and made some daily necessities.

Such as plastic pots, plastic buckets and the like.

However, there is a big difference between being able to manufacture it and making it cheaply on a large scale.

If the cost can't come down, it's pointless to build it.

This thing is for ordinary people, and the rich are not very rare, they have aluminum products available.

Only by reducing the cost and selling it cheaply can it be convenient for people's daily life.

Even if it is used in industry, it needs to be cheap, otherwise no factory can afford it.

But now, they finally lived up to Wu Changqing's entrustment and mastered the cheap production process.

Next, as long as this method is promoted, plastic products will soon be able to enter thousands of households.

Wu Changqing took a look at the plastic pots they produced, and felt that it was rougher than later generations, but it was acceptable.

So, he said: "Yes, after a while, I will let the people from the Ministry of Rites study the award. However, this is just the beginning. The knowledge of plastics is very advanced, and you need to spend your whole life to study it.

Plastic has a wide range of uses. You have to increase your digging efforts. Of course, I will also provide some ideas. For example, plastics that can change color, plastics that can conduct heat, and plastics that can defend against bullets.

Don't stick to the old rules, dare to let your thinking fly, imagine boldly, everything is possible. At the same time of research, we should also pay attention to cultivating relevant talents.

Dahua has a population of more than 200 million, and there will be 500 million or 1 billion in the future. It is impossible to support the development of Dahua by relying on a few of you, we must spread this knowledge and gather the strength of the world..."

Wu Changqing said a lot, but the core is two points, continue to research and cultivate talents.

After confirming that the plastic technology is mature, Dahua also announced the news, and then encouraged businessmen to open plastic factories.

The court will provide technical support, and only need to pay a fee.

As soon as the news came out, a large number of merchants rushed to the office to apply.

However, those who can apply are one in a hundred.

There have long been some people with great powers, who learned about this kind of inside information in advance, and then took the lead.

The first batch of plastic factories supported by Dahua is limited. After these people robbed most of them, the remaining few places were won by the lucky ones.

Of course, there is no need to be discouraged by businessmen who have not secured a quota.

If you really want to do this, you can ask about what got the support.

Among them, there must be some noble family members. They grabbed places, but they didn't have the business skills or capital.

Therefore, when they grabbed that kind of quota, they were simply using it to sell money.

As long as you promise to give these people some shares in the new factory, you can get this kind of support.

Powerful and powerful people do nothing, and people give money when they sit. This is really not a joke, but the cruelest reality in this world.

Even, Wu Changqing had heard of this situation more or less, but he had no time to deal with it.

After all, this kind of thing is not a big deal, and it is even less harmful than the corruption of officials.

Wu Changqing has more important things to deal with.

He exchanged for the more advanced steel-making technology, the oxygen top-blown converter steel-making method, and then handed it over to several government-controlled steel mills for technical upgrades.

This advanced technology has not been directly exchanged before, because the technology for producing oxygen in the past was too low-level and the cost of producing oxygen was too high.

Moreover, the knowledge level and skill level of the previous steel workers were too low.

Those people may not be able to master the most advanced steel-making method directly at one time.

The use of technology needs to be gradual.

Therefore, it was not until now that the time was right that Wu Changqing exchanged for the new steelmaking technology.

After completing the technical upgrade, Dahua's steelmaking capacity can be increased by three or four times, which can greatly increase the output of steel.

Today, Dahua's steel production does not need to consider the problem of excess capacity at all, as much of the production will be used up.

No matter how overtime those steel mills work, they are still unable to meet the nation's steel demand.

Suspend production for technical upgrades

, which is a big deal for steel mills.

If Wu Changqing did not come up with this new steel-making technology, those steel mills would not dare to take such a big risk to upgrade their technology.

In case of failure, the loss is immeasurable.

However, this is what Wu Changqing took out.

Therefore, the directors of the major factories did not hesitate to implement the order.

They all have a mysterious trust in Wu Changqing. As long as it is what Wu Changqing explained, they can't go wrong by doing it.

This is the prestige that Wu Changqing has always been correct and accumulated.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if it is wrong, they have to bite the bullet and execute it.

Questioning the emperor's orders and disobeying them is no small crime.

After Wu Changqing's order, the major factories announced to work overtime, first to produce a batch of steel to meet the market demand, and at the same time to inform those customers in advance that the production will be greatly reduced, so that customers can be prepared.

A few days later, based on the information provided by Wu Changqing, they began to upgrade the technology, and at the same time cultivate those who were more than

The more talented workers, let them master the relevant theoretical knowledge.

As the technology becomes more and more esoteric and the demands on workers become higher and higher, they are all forced to improve the abilities of workers.

Steel, steam engines, shipbuilding...  

In many fields, Wu Changqing is always paying attention, and then according to the development process of the industry, he will continue to provide technical support to upgrade and innovate the technology.
