Chapter 349: End of eighteen eighty-eight years

'Piric acid is a yellow explosive, its power and are greater than the well-known TNT explosives. Among the powerful explosives, picric acid is second only to nitroglycerin with good stability and simple preparation method. It was one of the most suitable explosives for artillery shells.
Picric acid is the first smokeless gunpowder developed in the field of local explosives, and many types of smokeless gunpowder, such as single-base explosives used as rifle ammunition and double-base powder used as cannonball ammunition, are still experimental. The verification phase may take another three to five years, and smokeless powders with different characteristics will enter the practical phase, equipped with local regular military forces.
The technological progress made by Han in textile dyes and explosives has been widely disseminated through a number of local government-run newspapers. Zhou Sheng and Lin Shenhe, as the first batch of local scientific researchers who have achieved major scientific and technological breakthroughs, have been awarded The hereditary baron's title.
1On January 5, 1880, Zhou Sheng and Lin Shenhe received iron coupons and imperial edicts from Li Mingyuan, symbolizing the title of hereditary aristocracy. As a result, the number of hereditary aristocrats in Han Dynasty increased to 53.
On the day of the seal, in addition to Zhou Sheng and Lin Shenhe who received the most attention, a total of seven researchers won titles such as non-hereditary barons, jazz and other titles. Four of them were local Chinese researchers and the other three were A few years ago, Mannister, Yedlik, and Eststrom, who contributed the most to steel, electrolytic metal, and alternator projects, Li Mingyuan once promised them that if they made a breakthrough in the research field, And they are willing to join the Han nationality and always serve the Han government, then Li Mingyuan will grant them the title of nobility.
明 Li Mingyuan's words have always been counted, but because the three people were unwilling to make a clear statement before joining the emperor's ceremony, joined the Han nationality and loyal to the Han government, so their names were not on the first batch of knights.
Ending in 1879 and entering the new year, the three of them thought about it for a long time. Facing the excellent conditions of knighthood, wealth, and status given by the Han government, they finally promised to be loyal to Li Mingyuan, joined the Han nationality, and promised to be conservative in their work. The research projects are secret and follow the arrangements arranged by the Han government.
After receiving a clear response from the three, Li Mingyuan fulfilled his original promise and decided to grant them a noble title. However, due to the indecision of the three and the improvement of the situation in the Han Dynasty, the hereditary baronial title originally planned to be granted, and so on. For a lifelong baron, the lifelong baron can only hope to become a hereditary baron when the three of them have made another technological breakthrough in their field of study.
The second noble title awarding ceremony mainly for scientific and technological researchers ended successfully. On the second day, the preparatory activities of Changan University of Technology and the Chemical Society, which mainly focused on the education of chemical branches, officially started. Li Mingyuan's 500,000 Hans drawn from the royal industry Yuan and the one million won allocated by the Han government will be used as the starting capital for the foundation stone construction and research projects of Chang'an University of Technology. At the same time, in order to show the importance the royal family attaches to scientific research and education, Queen Wu Lingxuan and concubine Zhang Baoyi took the initiative to privately In the dowry, 200,000 won and 150,000 won were given to Changan University of Technology for free to support the Han government's strategy of rejuvenating the country with science and technology.
Even the queen and concubine donated their dowry and invested in the field of science and technology education. Naturally, senior officials of the central government departments and generals of the army cannot be indifferent. Hu Yaji, Liu Pu, Sun Bin, Zhao Yan, Zheng Qiru and other officials have responded to the queen and consort. Called for funds of varying amounts to be donated to universities and colleges for free.
元 In the first year of the founding of the company in 1880, it was called the first year of the emperor's restructuring. In the upsurge of large construction, he unknowingly came to an end.
At the end of January 1880, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and foreign diplomats stationed in the West started talks on the formal establishment of diplomatic relations. One month later, the talks ended. The Han government and the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Netherlands, and Belgium Countries, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, Sweden and other 10 European countries reached consensus. The two sides established diplomatic relations at the ministerial level. The Han government sent official diplomatic officials to the 10 European countries, established consulates in European countries, and handled them in Europe. The diplomatic, economic, and political relations between the two sides are multifaceted. For the ten European countries, the countries with diplomatic staff stationed in Argentina and Uruguay earlier immediately upgraded them to embassies in Han, and formally took over their responsibilities for foreign affairs in Han. Those countries that established diplomatic relations with Han for the first time sent some diplomats from Europe to establish diplomatic relations between the two countries.
In March 1880, a fleet of two main iron armored ships, two indigenously built small iron armored ships, and 32 large and medium-sized ocean-going transport ships carried 400 Marines and more than 2,000 criminals sentenced to exile Departing from Yishui Port, the capital of Haizhou, set off for the waters of central South Pacific to receive Samoa and Zilu, which were exchanged with the Germans.
In mid-April, the last batch of 11,000 Chinese immigrants stranded in Nanyang due to the Argentine war arrived in South America. The transport fleet docked at the estuary of La Plata and experienced a month of disease prevention, epidemic health inspection and simple After the repair, 11,000 immigrants were divided into two batches, a group of 4,000 people went north along the Parana River to settle in the Pampas steppe, and another group of 7,000 people continued to take transport vessels along the offshore coastline to the Patagonian wasteland south. Then each time they went through a coastal port, the transport fleet dropped off a group of immigrants and let them bring government-issued farming tools, food, livestock, etc. to temporarily establish temporary settlements in offshore areas with water and pasture, and then adapt to Patagon After the natural environment of the Niya region, it followed the direction of rivers and pastures to migrate to inland areas.
In the following month, under the government's organized arrangements, immigrants have established a total of seventeen settlements in the Valdes Peninsula, Viedma, Ushuaia, Rosen, and Lake Argentina.
From the transport ship to the South American mainland, docked in the Songzhou government (Buenos Aires), to the southern end, the settlement of immigrants in the Ushuaia region of Tierra del Fuego.
The Han and Han governments used the method of zoning and noodles to use Chinese immigrants to control the 3200 km long southern land.
In the Patagonian wasteland of the southern region, although the soil is barren and the rainfall is scarce, the vast grasslands and the diverse climate of the coastal areas have created rich animal and plant resources.
For example, the Valdes Peninsula in the Golden State (Chubut Province) has a total area of ​​about 3,625 square kilometers. The peninsula is barren and unsuitable for the growth of crops such as soybeans and wheat. However, there are many llamas inhabiting the peninsula. , Wild camels, alpaca, wild deer, fox and other wild animals. Near the Atlantic Ocean, there are large marine animals such as South American fur seals, walruses, and southern right whales.
The tradition of the Indians domesticating camels to carry goods has inspired Chinese immigrants who have migrated to Patagonia. Near the immigration settlements of the Valdes Peninsula and Viedma, young and strong Chinese are in immigration resettlement officers. Under the organization, hunting teams were formed one after another, going deeper into the inland areas, looking for traces of camels, and then taking advantage of the speed of riding horses underneath to trap the found camels.
的 The advancement of chemical dye technology has promoted the progress of the local textile industry, and also promoted the development of camel animal breeding industry and camel animal fluff processing industry.
Immigrants capture llamas, llamas and other camels, except for a few injured and difficult to treat, most of the llamas will be scattered and housed in the land allocated by each family.
In the native region, where the population is scarce, the population is relatively dense, and the animal husbandry is the most developed in the Pampas grasslands, the average cattle fed by immigrants occupy one hectare of grassland, while in Patagonia, an average alpaca can occupy Two hectares of land.
The unique natural environment provides the most suitable conditions for the development of local animal husbandry, and the development of animal husbandry provides valuable starting capital for industrial development.
年底 At the end of 1880, according to the latest statistical data, the total number of cattle in the local area exceeded 9 million, the number of sheep reached 13 million, and the total number of cattle and sheep was nearly three times the local population.
迅 The rapid increase in the number of livestock, mainly cattle and sheep, has driven the growth of export of agricultural products. At the same time, the surplus cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock have also changed the diet structure of Chinese in South America.
Take the meat food consumed every year by Chinese families in Pampas area as an example ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Ten years ago, Chinese families who had recently moved to South America were worried about encountering a continental panic again, only every few weeks After eating meat once, and after more than a year of Han occupying the La Plata area, external threats have weakened sharply, and civilian households each have different numbers of livestock. Therefore, their demand for meat products is also From the initial four to five pounds of meat per household per year, it has grown to an average of 160 pounds of beef, sheep, and pork per household per year.
Adequate meat intake guarantees the normal nutritional needs of local people. Northern refugees who have just arrived in the local area often stay for three or two months, and their weight quickly increases by ten to twenty pounds. Replace with ruddy, healthy complexion.
The improvement of eating habits and living environment has a huge impact on the local people. Although the impact of adult Chinese is not too obvious, the new generation of young children born in the country are generally taller than their peers. The young immigrants who moved over were one or two centimeters taller.
During the period of feudal society, the natural height of the Chinese ethnic group has always been higher than that of neighboring countries. However, after entering the Ming and Qing dynasties, the number of nationals increased sharply, and per capita food production was insufficient. As a result, the height of the Chinese and the modern Westerners have widened.
In mainland China, because of insufficient food intake and natural height restrictions, it is no longer possible to exist in the mainland of China. It is foreseeable that those newborn babies born natively and who have sufficient nutritional intake will grow up as adults. Compared with their parents, their average height and physical fitness will have a significant improvement.
