Chapter 300

Was the large-scale appearance of factories!

The factory model shortened time and increased production efficiency.

Causing productivity to surge.

Which brought about a series of changes in the Great Yan Kingdom.

"With these decrees, the first industrial revolution should be appearing..."

Gazing at the increasingly prosperous Blue Star, the corners of Qin Mu's mouth gradually curled up.

And his divine fire value.

Would also continue to grow because of the continuous development of technological civilization and the continuous perfection of the world!

Great Yan Calendar Year 69.

Under Yan's series of decrees.

Countless factories emerged within the Great Yan Kingdom.

Many people took out their savings, bought machines, and tried to set up factories.

After the products produced were sold and the capital was recovered.

Expand the scale again...

A batch after batch of rich people were born one after another.

Others saw that setting up factories could make them rich, so they also joined the torrent of setting up factories.

In every industry and every field, a large number of factories were born.

Under the terrifying productivity of factories.

That field also became prosperous.

Among the 300 million people of Great Yan, there were always people who saw that certain industries had not been opened and had development value.

Therefore, this factory wave...

Swept through every field.

Covering the entire Great Yan Kingdom.

No industry escaped the coverage of factories.

At the end of this year.

In the imperial palace.

The Minister of Revenue continued to report on the situation of the Great Yan Kingdom over the past year.

Total output value.

Directly exceeded 10 trillion!

And in terms of agriculture, the output value not only did not decrease, but was still climbing!

Great Yan Calendar Year 70.

The factory system of the Great Yan Kingdom, after continuous standardization and development, became increasingly mature.

A large amount of labor entered factories to work.

Creating astonishing wealth and output value.

Within the Great Yan Kingdom.

Hundreds of large cities also emerged.

But at the same time...

Because there were more and more factories, corresponding problems also appeared.

All factories used machines to carry out production work.

And the power source of the machines...

Was the steam engine.

But the operation of the steam engine required a large amount of charcoal, coal, and firewood.

With the prevalence of factories throughout the Great Yan Kingdom.

In just one year, the problem of shortages of charcoal, firewood, and coal appeared.

A large number of trees were cut down, but this could not cure these problems.

Many factories, because of the lack of fuel...

Even fell into a state of suspension and production stoppage.

The problem gradually evolved into a nationwide major problem.

The development speed of the Great Yan Kingdom's civilization also slowed down accordingly.

Imperial Palace, Great Hall.

Yan, after understanding the situation.

Immediately, he summoned the ministers to discuss.

But the problem of fuel...

Was very tricky.

The Great Yan Kingdom could not cut down all the trees on the Blue Star.

Doing so would only solve the urgent need.

It could not cure the root cause of the problem.

After the ministers discussed for three days.

Finally.

People in the Great Yan Research Institute proposed a suggestion:

"Your Majesty, the burning of charcoal and firewood is limited, and the heat produced is not high. Why not adopt another brand-new fuel to replace firewood and charcoal?"

Yan, after hearing this suggestion, his eyes lit up.

Indeed.

If there were brand-new, more efficient fuels...

This problem could be solved easily.

"In these years, the Great Yan Research Institute has already discovered several brand-new fuels that can burn continuously..."

Immediately after.

The Great Yan Research Institute displayed their research results on fuels over these years.

There were a total of six brand-new fuels.

Yan gave an order.

The Research Institute began to test and analyze the performance of these fuels one by one.

Finally.

From among them, they selected an "oil" that could be mined from stones and could burn.

After testing.

The burning of this petroleum would emit terrifying heat.

Just a little bit was comparable to a ton of firewood.

Yan was overjoyed when he learned of this situation.

He quickly ordered the Ministry of Works to set up a petroleum-related department, responsible for the mining and supply of petroleum nationwide.

This lifeblood that could determine national power...

Yan would certainly not let the private sector control it.

Great Yan Calendar Year 71.

With the popularization of petroleum.

The problem of energy fuel was completely solved.

And...

The appearance of new energy also improved the efficiency of the steam engine.

The output of factories made a breakthrough again.

And in other fields.
