Chapter 970: Quiet night thinking

The atmosphere was a little dull, and a night breeze blew in, making people feel a bit of chill.
Niu Ben looked at the lights outside the palace gate and said loudly: "You should go back soon. Niu believes that the emperor's eyes are like torches, and he can clearly see this Xiaoxiao world."
Everyone recovered, no longer mentioned the current topic, and each left.
Niu Ben and Luo Quan walked at the end. When everyone left, Luo Quan said: "These civil officials just like to fight back and forth. No wonder the emperor attaches so much importance to this naval battle today, in order to let these people receive their hearts. Put more energy on building Great Chongqing."
"This is also impossible. Pang Yukun, Zhan Xingchang and others follow the emperor to fight the world. They think that they should have most of the rights. Fiji and others are latecomers, and they did not spend the time with the emperor. During the most difficult period, they thought that these old officials shouldn't get so much, and those old officials were jealous of Pang Yukun and the others, so since the emperor came to the throne, although the emperor pressed them, they worked closely together, but they couldn't integrate together. "Niu Ben is on the outside, so he can see it thoroughly.
Luo Quan nodded lightly, "Well, that's the truth, but these civil officials like to fight back and forth no matter when Mingjun or Wujun is in power, it doesn't matter, let's just ignore it."
"That's right." Niu Ben laughed and walked towards his mansion.
In fact, it is noisy, but each of them has a scale in their hearts. Now that the country of Da Yu is prospering, it is moving upwards. With Xiao Ming, no one can make waves.
As for the quarrels in the court due to different political opinions, it is also normal, and some power struggles are also normal. After all, officials have long hearts and have their own feelings and desires.
As everyone left, Xiao Ming returned to the sleeping hall. Fei Yue'er had already gone to sleep at this time, and Xiao Yi had already lived separately from them because he was seven years old, and was taken care of by the grandmother in the palace alone.
Without disturbing Fei Yue'er, Xiao Ming came to sit down in the main hall outside the dormitory and asked the maid to light the candle.
He picked up a pen to skillfully record the knowledge in the tech spar, and Dick's description of Britain really surprised him.
When he talked to everyone today, he deliberately ignored one element, that is, Dick once said that the British secret association participated in the current scientific research and development in the UK.
And this association also brought some elite talents, these talents are members of the association, from all over Europe.
It is precisely because of the help of this association that the UK can verify various technologies so quickly.
He has heard about this secret association twice, one from Dengzhou and one from when he attacked the South.
Combined with the various mysterious legends about this association in modern times, he has reason to worry about the secret association in this world. After all, the Cao family has joined it. It is difficult for him to determine whether there are secret members of this association in Dayu.
If there is, it will be a trouble for him, so after the Southern War, he has been letting the secret guards detect, but the results were very low.
This result is good news for him, and it is also bad news. The good thing is that there may be no progress in the infiltration of secret associations in the country of Da Yu. The bad thing is that the infiltration may be too strong and the secret guards have nowhere to start.
The things that cannot be controlled are always disturbing, so he now eagerly hopes that the country will go further in science and technology and open a bigger gap with Europe.
Especially after the emergence of electric power, many things that accompany the emergence of electric power in modern times should also appear. Only in this way can the country of Da Yu be regarded as entering the era of electric power.
Correspondingly, there is also the internal combustion engine. The emergence of electricity has made it possible to produce diesel and gasoline on a large scale. With diesel, the gas in gasoline has the source of power.
Because of this, electricity and internal gas complement each other, which is why he knows that the internal gas structure is not very complicated and has not been developed in advance.
After all, it can only be produced as a display.
But now it is different. Electricity is available. The following is to overcome the problem of refining diesel and gasoline, and this requires Lutong to solve a series of problems.
In addition, he has to solve the problem of the source of oil, and this is his more headache.
Coming from modern times, he is well aware of the lack of oil resources in the country, and the difficulty in mining the few fried dough sticks is also very difficult. It cannot be extracted at the current level of the country.
And he is unwilling to mine, because his current policy is to plunder resources from overseas and retain domestic mineral resources.
Based on this, the imperial court now encourages businessmen to go to Korea, Waguo and other places to mine for mining. After the Philippines is captured, he will also mobilize businessmen to go to the Philippines and even Australia to mine, and continue to transport foreign minerals to Great Yu.
As for the unused mines, his request is to reclaim the sea and make land.
Therefore, he would not be able to exploit such a scarce thing as oil in the country, and his goal naturally went to the Ottoman Empire.
This empire is now sitting on the world’s most precious wealth without knowing it. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it would be a good business to trade industrial products or even arms for oil.
The Ottoman Empire not only did not deal with Europe, but also did not deal with Tsarist Russia and the Golden Horde. He was happy to use this behemoth to cause some trouble in Europe.
Of course, his most important purpose is still oil. The geological structure of the oil field on this land is simple, and oil field spouting wells are the norm.
Simply put, it is to hit a drill bit to the oil layer, and the oil will be ejected from the wellhead by itself, which is very easy to obtain.
What he is writing now is about the knowledge of oil extraction and the knowledge of internal gas. These two technologies will bring earth-shaking changes to the transportation industry in the country.
But before that, he still has many things to do ~EbookFREE.me~ to occupy the South Seas and seize the strongholds established by the French and British on the route. This process cannot be accomplished overnight and may take a long time.
During this time, the establishment of the petrochemical industry system and internal gas technology can also be carried out at the same time, but there is no need to be impatient.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming set his sights on Nanyang, now I don't know what achievements Yue Yun has achieved?
...
Malacca.
Under the leadership of Liu Chen, the Marines boarded the beach in the dark. They did not encounter any resistance along the way.
The actions of the combined fleet made the British soldiers in Malacca completely ignore the possible dangers. They did not expect that the ever-large fleet would arrive in Malacca overnight.
"Hurry up!"
Liu Chen greeted the soldiers to cross the beach and enter the plain. In front of them were the fortresses carefully constructed by the British. Now they are going to seize these fortresses.
