Chapter 925 Guangzhou Station

In Guangzhou, Wu Changqing first visited the Dingsheng Shipyard, which is a shipyard that mainly manufactures civilian passenger ships and cargo ships.

The Deep Water Bay Shipyard in Hong Kong mainly builds warships.

At the same time, it is also the station of the Third Fleet of the Dahua Navy.

At Dingsheng Shipyard, Wu Changqing participated in the launching ceremony of the cargo ship Polang.

The Breaker was built more than a month ago, and it was deliberately waited until Wu Changqing came over before launching. This cargo ship is Dahua, and even the largest ship in the world.

Its displacement reached an astonishing 20,000 tons.

Civilian ships have relatively low technical requirements. At present, several Dahua shipyards have mastered this technology, and there are currently three ships under construction.

The technical content of warships is much higher. Dahua can only build warships with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons.

It's not that it can't be built bigger, it's just that the performance of the built one can't keep up.

The time is slow, easy to damage, high failure rate, that is the real trouble.

Warships have to adapt to various harsh environments and have to install various high-tech weapons. Freighters are incomparable.

The ship Breaker is 150 meters long and 17 meters wide.

This kind of behemoth directly stupefied everyone.

Not only the foreign ambassadors were dumbfounded, but even some Dahua officials who had never seen the big ship were stunned.

This, this, this is how majestic and magnificent.

Compared with the previous carriage, this thing is indeed countless times more magnificent.

"Such a big iron lump, can it move?"

There were even whispers.

Although they all know the principle of the steam engine, how can such a seemingly simple principle be able to drive such a big thing.

The chief designer of the Breaker was introducing the performance parameters of the ship to Wu Changqing, and Wu Changqing nodded in satisfaction.

Although this Breaker is only large in size, other performance aspects are sloppy.

But it doesn't matter, it's already very good to be able to build this thing with a bunch of blueprints, and Wu Changqing can't ask for more.

"If Dahua is willing, we in Spain are willing to exchange half of Brazil for such a ship."

The Spanish ambassador said that although this was a joke, he also expressed his evaluation of the ship, which is worth millions of square kilometers of land.

"Even if Dahua is willing to sell, our country should not be able to afford it."

The Persian ambassador smiled wryly and shook his head. At this moment, he felt inferior.

"Even if Dahua gave it to our country for free, our country can't find anyone to start it, so we can only watch."

Ottoman's ambassador, Deldogan, was even more straightforward, mocking his country directly.

After all, other countries are making reforms and learning from Dahua. It just so happened that they, the Ottoman Empire, were still intoxicated in the glory of the empire and did not think about making progress.

After Deldogan came to Dahua and opened his eyes, he was completely disappointed with the Ottoman Empire.

"The important weapon of the country, with this thing, there will be no barriers in the world."

A Chinese minister said.

The transportation capacity of this 20,000-ton freighter will be extremely terrifying.

The transportation cost of goods will be further reduced.

Countless people worshiped this big ship with emotion and felt the insignificance of human beings.

Subsequently, the Breaker was launched in the presence of thousands of people watching.

When it fell into the water, the splashing waves were several meters high, and the momentum was even more earth shaking.

For many people, being able to see such a scene once in their lifetime is enough to brag about for a lifetime.

In addition to the Breaker, Dingsheng Shipyard has built more than 100 ships of various specifications.

Its total tonnage is almost equal to the sum of the entire Western Europe.

After visiting the Dingsheng Shipyard, they went to visit the Industrial Street without stopping.

In other cities, industries are concentrated in one place, which is called an industrial park.

But in Guangzhou, there are no particularly concentrated industrial parks. On the contrary, there are many industrial streets, that is, a whole set of streets are manufacturing plants.

Basically, they are all light industries, and they are all small-scale, family-style small factories.

In some factories, there are only one or two machines, and one man can complete the work of the boss, workers, and salesmen.

Most of the factories have more than a dozen people.

However, these small workshops should not be underestimated, mainly because there are so many.

There is the most complete range of manufacturing industries here, and basically any parts you want can be bought here.

Moreover, regardless of whether the order is one thousand or one piece, these small workshops will accept the order, and they don't dislike it at all.

Wu Changqing walked around a street, picked two factories, and went in to have a look.

This kind of small workshop-style factory seems to be not as efficient as a large factory, but in fact, the people in this small workshop are very motivated to produce.

Because this is their own industry, and the workers in large factories must be less motivated in comparison.

Wu Changqing kindly asked about the life of these factory owners, asked about their difficulties in their careers, and urged local officials to help these entrepreneurs solve their problems.

This touching scene was naturally captured by reporters.

In addition to visiting these factories, Wu Changqing also visited the commercial street.

The retail industry and small-scale wholesale industry in Guangzhou are very well developed. Here, almost

To buy all the goods you want, it is a bit like Yiwu in later generations.

It's hard to say whether the quality is good or not, but the price is really low.

A large number of self-employed people come here to buy goods, and then load them on small broken ships, and then transport them to Annan, the Philippines and other places.

When it is sold out in Nanyang, I will bring some sugar and spices back from Nanyang.

Their ships are small, and the transportation cost cannot be compared with that of large freighters.

But they have the huge advantage of being able to evade taxes.

Dahua's navy is limited, so it can't manage so many.

Moreover, if caught, there is nothing to do with these people. Those who would take such a big risk to do this kind of thing are basically poor and left with their lives.

And these people also contributed to a different kind of prosperity.

Finally, Wu Changqing also visited the University City in Guangzhou.

This is the place with the most densely populated universities and the largest number of international students besides Nanjing.

The university town is home to seven universities and even two technical colleges, schools that teach various manufacturing techniques.

Wu Changqing spoke highly of these schools, emphasizing the importance of talents.

"What is the most precious thing in today's world? It is talent. As long as there is talent, everything else will be there."

Wu Changqing said.

What he said was not an official statement, but the truth.

After all, if technology is needed, he can take it out at any time. Anyway, there is no shortage of resources and technology points now.

Now there is a shortage of people who can learn to master and use technology. As long as there are enough talents, Dahua's development can continue to soar.
