The key to laying submarine cables is the development of rubber technology.⊙, despite Chen Xie’s gold finger, the chemical level of this era is still at a relatively low level. The insulation effect of rubber and asbestos can solve the insulation problem on land, but if you want to go into the water, more advanced technology is needed. Moreover, this matter is not that simple. You also need to have enough understanding of the depth of the strait before you can talk about the laying issue.

No matter how awesome the gold finger is, it still has problems that cannot be solved. For a simple example, you can get an agricultural tricycle from modern society and learn it for a while. But what is its working principle? What about the production technology of diesel engines? What about the technology of territorial equipment? What about the technology of gearbox? What about the production technology of tires? This is quite good. If you get a tank back and take a look, you won’t be able to learn how to use it. And don’t explain that it is too early. Even in the Republic of China, if some advanced weapons are used in today’s Republic of China, the problem of how to use them cannot be solved at all.

Industry has never been single. Some things can be catalyzed, but technical accumulation must be a gradual process. Chen Xie had long understood this point. When he came back from a steam engine, he organized technical strength here and took three to five years to imitate it. If you get a diesel engine, boron cylinder liner, aluminum piston, and fuel injector processing, these things can make the Ming Dynasty unable to take care of themselves. Without more than five years of learning technology accumulation, you should not even think about large-scale mass production. This is the premise of starting from the founding of the People's Republic of China. Why should we vigorously develop basic education and why should we vigorously promote science and engineering education? It is really a naive idea that the success of industrialization is entirely the result of reform and opening up. Without accumulation in 1949, how could there be later industrial modernization? You can't solve the problem of industrialization alone. Not to mention technical accumulation.

The Chen family has many industries, but now the technology in the light industry led by the textile industry has been basically opened. It’s not that I don’t want to do monopoly business, but I really can’t take care of it. Except for the heavy industrial base in Liaodong and the petrochemical base in Java, Chen Xie basically doesn’t care about other industries. The large industry in Jiangnan is now basically thrown to those women to do it, and he takes a look at the number of profits every year. Now it’s all done by the team led by Li Xiang.

Chen Xie's energy does not mean that he has to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang, and the people must manage their clothes and food. The characteristic of industrialization is that the division of labor in the industry is getting more and more detailed, and even if a person has three heads and six arms, you can't control it. How to ensure the vitality and sustainable development of the industry depends on the system?

When I started in Dengzhou, I played workshops and now I was playing large-scale industrial production, which was incomparable. For example: railways. At the beginning, road construction and locomotive production could be put together. With the development of technology and the development of market demand, industrial separation is inevitable. Locomotive production is an industry, and road construction is an industry. Although these two industries are now in charge by the president Xia Xue, the management team between the two industries has basically no interweaving of rights.

The core of the dialogue between father and son is still in the technology of laying cable telegraphs. It is basically Chen Fan who talks about it again. Chen Xie is listening. From the initial separate research to the present, Chen Fan has formed a team. The production and line laying are respectively for production and line laying. The line being laid is from Tanggu to Shenyang, and the construction period is expected to be ten months. The production progress of the telegraph machine is as good as the progress of the laying line, and the progress of the line laying is affected by the production of wires.

The final conclusion is that the plan to lay submarine cables. The current technical force cannot be realized at all. Chen Xie was a little disappointed, but he still smiled encouragement and said to Chen Fan: "I am too impatient! I will do it according to the established square array and make progress step by step. On the one hand, laying telegraph lines, production equipment, education, and talent reserves. On the other hand, it is necessary to make this project profitable. If it is just a unilateral investment, the industry will not have a future. Have you ever thought about setting up a company and letting professionals manage and operate this area, and as the boss, you only need to be responsible for the general direction."

Chen Fan nodded and said, "My mother sent me more than a dozen people. The company's shelves were set up very quickly. The ongoing projects no longer require me to pay too much attention. I think the key is the cultivation of talents. The faculty in this area is too thin. Two of the six people who followed me to do research are preparing for the Telegraph Technical School. Two are on the construction site, and two are staring at the production of equipment. The process of turning technology into products and then obtaining benefits through products has benefited a lot from me personally."

Chen Xie regretted that he did not stop a technology son from starting a company. No matter how good a technology is, it cannot be turned into a product and profitable, and it cannot reflect the value of technology.

The talks lasted until late at night. For others, the talks between father and son were a signal. Chen Xie began to cultivate the next generation and was slowly diluting the industry in his hands. Although Chen Ping and Chen Fan were treated differently, one was to take over the financial industry, and the other was to put his own technology into production and application. People who knew the inside story understood that Chen Xie valued more the Chen Fan, who looked a little dull.

The reason for saying this is very simple. When Chen Fan left, he got a check that Chen Xie had covered his private seal. With this check book, he could withdraw a maximum of 5 million yuan from the bank for his industrial development. As the future successor of the bank, Chen Ping could withdraw the maximum amount from the bank when he used it for private purposes, which was only 50,000 yuan.

Another morning was coming to Edo Castle, and 1,500 new military uniforms appeared on the military barracks playground in the city. Standing in front of them were expressionless instructors. Each of these three families produced 500 people and received professional military training. This was the first step for the newly-organized Japanese Army.

As for other samurai, after changing their equipment, they were heading to the battlefield of the Destroyed Void. With a little attention, it is not difficult to find that the samurai present are not very old, and in fact the oldest is only sixteen years old. These young people will receive three years of education here, and the three giants cannot intervene at all.

In the morning, these young people were waiting. When the dense drumming sound of military bands came from the gate of the military camp, everyone tried their best to straighten their chests in the sound of commands. Their eyes were focused on a slowly moving white horse. When Chen Xie was walking forward on the horse's back, behind them were the three future giants of the Japanese government who were jogging with him.

The horse is a four-year-old mixed-blood horse, the mare is a strong Mongolian horse, and the stallion is a tall Arab horse. This horse inherits the bloodline of both, and its sprint ability and endurance are not the strongest, but its comprehensive abilities are stronger than its parents.

Before walking slowly to everyone, he turned over and dismounted while waiting for the three giants, and stepped onto the high platform in the middle. Facing these short young people, Chen Xie's first sentence was: "I hope that after three years of study and exercise, your height can exceed 165 cm. If you don't know the specific concept, you can ask the instructor to ask for a ruler to measure it yourself."

This sentence hurts a bit, but everyone present dared not question the slightest. Until Chen Xie continued, "You will receive the strictest education and training, and the cruelty is far beyond your imagination. Now there is still a chance to make a choice, and those who leave will not be punished." No one moved at the scene, and Chen Xie nodded: "Since you have chosen to stay, please abide by the rules here and keep in mind the punishment regulations here. As long as you survive these three years, you will be the best officers of the Japanese Army, and you will have the opportunity to be selected as members of the Alliance Army."

The promise of becoming a member of the Alliance Army officers was so tempting. Seventy percent of the officers of the 11th Infantry Division were Japanese. After these officers rushed back to Japan, they quickly made these former nobles understand what the gap was. After a period of contact, the Alliance Army made these local nobles clearly realize the meaning of the word "domestic".

There is a special officer club in Edo Castle, and the staff are treated so high that it exceeds most small samurai. This club has only been established for a month, but it has become synonymous with the face of the noble samurai in Edo Castle. Strictly speaking, this place only receives officers from the Alliance Army. If local nobles and samurai want to enter this place, they must be invited. Even if Tokugawa Iemitsu wants to enter this club, they must greet the garrison in advance. By the way, the Alliance Army stationed in Edo is the First Regiment of the Mountain Brigade that was withdrawn from the front line. This officer club is in the barracks.

"Please remember one thing, entering the Alliance Army is just the first step toward making achievements. In that glorious team, you have the opportunity to climb the highest military honor in the Alliance. In this team, you will not be treated differently because of your origin. In this team, there are only two standards for promotion, loyalty and ability."

Chen Xie sent a strong signal, that is, in the future, Japan, regardless of military and political affairs, the primary requirement is loyalty, and secondly ability. As for the loyalty object, it can only be Chen Xie. These young faces are not yet known. After receiving three years of education here, they face brainwashing procedures like repeaters every day.

"Your future is not limited to being in the army. If it is outstanding enough, the government's door will be open to you after your service expires..." The magic voice continued, and every young man saw excitement on his face. (To be continued...)
