s: 6000 words long chapter, please vote and support Neijiang, Baima Industrial Zone, Tuojiang Power Equipment Company, Steam Turbine Workshop Six.
Tuodong is the most advanced and largest power equipment manufacturer in China and even the world.
Since Emperor Ao was assassinated, production here has been running at full capacity, changing from the original two shifts to three shifts, with people shutting down the machine constantly.
It's break time now, and the workers in the workshop are sitting in the lounge, drinking cold drinks and chatting.
"It's unbelievable.
It's terrible.
One hundred thousand engines.
One hundred thousand engines.
The foreign devils in Europe bought us one hundred thousand engines all at once.
Oh my God, all the goods we had been stocking for several years were gone all of a sudden. , Now I have to work overtime," a young technician lamented.
A young worker laughed and said: "Haha, it's not just that the foreign devils fought well.
If they didn't fight, how could we have such a good business?
The foreign devils buy everything, food, clothing, and everything.
Listen to me.
My mother said that grain, vegetables, fruits, chicken, duck, fish, etc. are all available in the countryside, and the purchase price has increased by 10%. " "Isn't that right?
In our village, even the old grain has been sold out," another worker interrupted.
"I also want Chen Liang.
The foreign devils are not fools.
Why can't they eat it?"
someone asked in confusion.
One worker curled his lips and said, "What kind of thing is this?
The meat factory in our hometown even accepts pork from old sows."
A middle-aged worker's eyes widened and he said anxiously: "Master Ge, is this okay?
Isn't it illegal?
Now the court, oh, the government, is very tight on this food safety issue.
Your meat factory over there You’re too brave, right?”
Wang Qinian smiled and explained: "Haha, brother, you don't understand.
Those old grains, old rice, old sows' pork, etc. are all exported to the foreign devils.
These products are not allowed to be sold in the country.
Who dares to violate the rules?
They don’t dare to impose heavy penalties.”
"Old Wang, even if you sell it to foreign devils, it won't be a good idea."
Wang Qinian said with a disapproving look: "What's not so good?
Compared with the foreign devils themselves, we are already very conscientious.
You may not know what the foreign devils themselves do.
They add mercury to cheese and copper carbonate to tea.
Add sulfuric acid to wine.
Damn it.
If you go abroad, don't eat these things.
If you eat them, your stomach will become a chemical laboratory."
Nowadays, all workers in China have to join literacy classes and night schools for employees to learn various basic cultural and general knowledge courses.
Chemistry is also a part of the study.
The employees of veteran companies like Tuodong are of higher quality, with at least junior high school or even high school level.
Everyone basically understands the chemical terms Wang Qinian said.
The few who don't understand will understand after asking the people next to them.

"Oh my god, these foreign devils are so crazy.
Can you eat all these things?"
Everyone's hair stood on end after hearing this, and they all thought, these foreign devils are too outrageous.
"Why can't they eat it?
As long as they don't eat something that will kill someone immediately, they dare to do it.
These are all mentioned in books and newspapers.
There are books and newspapers introducing foreign countries in the library.
You can find out when you have time."
Wang Qinian Said somewhat showily.
"There's no need to go to the library, sometimes there are these things on the radio," the technician said.
Wang Qinian said, "So, we have a conscience.
Those old sows' pork and so on are just not delicious, and they are not poisonous and will not kill people.
Besides, how many things have the foreign devils robbed and done in China?"
Bad things, nothing to sympathize with.”
"Well, Lao Wang is right.
Even this foreign devil deserves to die."
Everyone also nodded.
Wang Qinian's words were not exaggerated at all.
The European and American capitalists at that time were indeed so ethical.
In Europe and the United States at that time, mercury was an important and common food additive.
Yes, you read that right, it was mercury because it was antiseptic.
Nonsense, it poisoned bacteria.
For example, when mercury compounds are added to milk, when the soluble proteins in the milk encounter heavy metals such as mercury ions, a chemical reaction will occur, and the proteins will denature and settle.
But it doesn't matter, the capitalists can separate the milk by simply filtering it.
The filtered clear liquid is milk, and the sedimented dregs will not be wasted.
They will make cheese from these things.
In this way, two products, milk and cheese, were obtained at once, and both of them were almost non-perishable.
Anyway, there were no testing standards at that time, let alone measuring protein content.
As long as the people could drink milk, it would be good.
As for whether there would be problems with eating, conscientious capitalists didn’t care.
Anyway, they I don’t eat it myself.
In addition to "mercury milk", there are also the famous "cinnabar sausage" and "cinnabar ham".
Well, cinnabar mercury oxide is added to the seasoning of sausage and ham for dyeing.
Anyone who has studied junior high school chemistry knows that cinnabar is a common pigment.
Its color is very bright and pure, and its stability is excellent.
This thing is often used to make ink pads.
Even after hundreds of years, the marks printed with cinnabar ink pads are as bright as new.
When this stuff is added to sausages and hams, the colors will naturally appear bright and lovely, making you appetizing, and it can also be antiseptic.
In addition, sulfuric acid is added to wine to make it stronger.
Ingredients such as copper carbonate and lead chromate are added to the tea leaves to dye the tea leaves, thereby making the tea leaves outstanding in color and preventing mildew at the same time.
Chalk is also added to the flour as a whitening agent, plaster of paris is added to increase the weight, and various additives such as alum, copper sulfate, alkaline carbonate, etc. are also used.
Things like sodium nitrite, Sudan red, formaldehyde, and sulfur dioxide that were criticized in later generations are very, very legal "safe" additives and preservatives in this era.
As for adding water to wine and milk, mixing charcoal powder into pepper, mixing chicory and acorns into coffee, etc., these are the most common and harmless methods.
That is to say, after entering the 20th century, it has only somewhat converged in the past few years.
"Jingle bell"

At this time, the bell in the lounge rang.
Wang Qinian put down his water glass and stood up, and said to everyone: "Okay, it's time to rest.
Let's continue working.
Today we will complete these five train steam turbines.
The New Silk Road is waiting to be used as locomotives.
It can't be done without our steam turbines."
"Okay, let's go to work."
Everyone stood up.
Apart from here, other workshops are also busy.
This war made Tuodong a huge profit.
Within two months, Tuodong received two large orders.
First, Russia ordered 20,000 trucks.
Later, the Germans also came and ordered 40,000 trucks and 40,000 units.
Engines, a total of 100,000 truck engines were not enough for Tuodong to clear out all its inventory.
On the one hand, Germany is now hoarding supplies, and on the other hand, it is trying to win over China, so it has placed a large order with China, because now China only accepts physical goods and real gold and silver for transactions with belligerent countries, not banknotes.
So this time Germany paid a total of 300 tons of gold, about US$200 million.
They are different from Mao Xiong.
They have no shortage of army weapons and their own productivity is sufficient.
The things they order are mainly various civilian supplies, food, clothing, medicines, electronic products, etc., as well as the most important airships, aircraft and submarines. .
The prices of the materials sold by China are still very conscientious, with only a 20% increase from usual prices.
Hey, Germany needs to be urgent.
Even if it is urgent, it will charge a fee.
Not to mention that during the war, it was only 20% more expensive than usual, which is very kind.
Capitalists like the United States saw a price increase of a full 30%.
They also received an order of 100 million US dollars this time.
Although the increase is not huge, this is just the beginning.
After this year, the prices of related materials will at least double.
But it doesn't matter to Germany, because they got the money for free.
At that time, because the Germans attacked too fast and the French government ran too hastily, Paris only had time to transport a small part of its gold reserves, which resulted in a disadvantage to the Germans.
At that time, France had 1,030 tons of gold reserves in the National Bank of Paris, and more than 810 tons of gold fell into the hands of the Germans.
In addition, Belgium and Luxembourg suffered worse than France.
Their gold reserves were not transferred at all, and they were all laughed at by Erdezi.
Belgium has 123 tons of gold, and Luxembourg also has more than 60 tons.
Although this country was only as big as a booger, it was a major steel country at the time.
Its output was second only to Germany, Britain, Russia, France and Austria in Europe, and higher than Italy.
In 1913, it reached 1.33 million tons, but only 930,000 tons.
As a result, these countries relied on The wealth accumulated from selling steel became Germany's spoils of war.
These 1,000 tons of gold were all picked up for free anyway, and Erdezi didn't feel bad spending them.
In fact, other countries and belligerent countries are now unwilling to accept banknotes for trade.
After the outbreak of World War I, the warring countries controlled the outflow of gold, issued banknotes that could not be redeemed, and prohibited the free exchange of gold and banknotes.
The gold standard came to an end.
Naturally, people are reluctant to take banknotes that cannot be exchanged for real gold and silver, not only in China, but also in the United States.
In other words, now the warring countries can only buy things in the international market with real money and silver.
Before the war began, the gold reserves of the main belligerents were as follows: Britain 1,405 tons and the mainland 1,095 tons, Australia 310 tons, France 1,030 tons, Russia 1,233 tons, Germany 439 tons, and Austria-Hungary 378 tons.
The above figures are official reserves only and do not include royal and private holdings.

The British figures are only the central bank reserves of the mainland and Australia, and do not include the private property of the royal family and aristocrats, nor the reserves of other colonies.
If the royal family and private gold holdings of various countries are added, the amount will at least double, as estimated by the British royal family.
It owns 2,000 tons of gold, and the Russian royal family is estimated to have 400,600 tons.
As the saying goes, money is not everything, but nothing can be done without money.
Gold is a natural currency.
Just from this amount of gold reserves, we can see that the Allies are at a great disadvantage.
Niu Niu is too rich.
The gold they actually possess accounts for about 75% of the global total.
In the original time and space, most of the gold from the Allied Powers flowed into the United States, suffocating the United States.
However, China in that dimension was too weak and had no qualifications to compete at the table.
But things are different now.
China on this level has the qualifications and strength to share the meat at the table.
Wen Desi is now very greedy for this large sum of gold.
Although it is impossible to get all of it, if he works hard, he can still get half of it.
That's why we gave the Germans a preferential price and asked them to work harder, so that the Allies, especially Niu Niu, could spit out more gold.
For this goal, Germany must be armed as much as possible so that they can make the Allies worse.
These old-style imperialists are not fuel-efficient lamps.
If they are not pushed to the edge, they will not be able to lavish money and bleed money.
Nanchang, Jiangxi.
Poyang Xianggao Food Company is a local private enterprise.
The boss is a young man named Wan Cheng, who comes from a landlord family.
The boss of Wanchengwan studied in the UK, majoring in food processing.
After returning to China in 2009, he set up a food factory, mainly selling flour and rice noodles.
When the local land reform began, their family took the initiative to sell their excess land to the government.
Because the government of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology encourages private industries to start businesses, he used land transfer fees and preferential bank loans to support industry, purchased a batch of new machines and key technologies open to the private sector, and carried out large-scale construction projects to expand the scale of food factories.
Many new products have been added.
Canned food is one of the main products, because it is also his specialty and the one he is most familiar with.
Poyang Lake is rich in aquatic resources.
Before the founding of New China, due to limited preservation technology and poor transportation infrastructure, there was basically no development, let alone large-scale breeding.
After the Socialist Party of Science and Technology unified China, in order to improve people's living standards and increase protein intake, they vigorously developed various breeding industries in various places.
Poyang Lake was rapidly developed, and hundreds of fish farms were established around it. and pig farms.
Wancheng's food companies also have sufficient sources of raw materials.
The outbreak of the First World War also made Boss Wan's business boom, and his hands cramped when counting money.
Today, several people dressed as civil servants came to Poyang Xianggao Food Company.
They moved a few boxes from the car and went directly to Wancheng's office.
"Oh, it's Liu Ke.
What a rare visitor.
What are you doing today?"
Wan Cheng suddenly became nervous when he saw the person.
Because the Chief Liu who came here is from the Nanchang Food and Drug Administration, an agency that specializes in their industry.
Wen Desi paid special attention to the quality of "imported goods".
When he was still a "warlord" and had not gained national power, he established the Food and Drug Administration in his territory, which was responsible for supervising and managing the quality of various "imported goods". and health issues.
It can be said that among all countries in the world today, China is the most stringent in this regard, and has the most complete regulatory system and relevant laws and regulations.
"Hello, Manager Wan.
We are here to randomly check the quality of the products."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The visitor was not polite and directly explained the purpose of his visit.
"Okay, no problem, no problem."
Wan Cheng quickly led them into the workshop.
After changing into special work clothes in the locker room, he entered the production workshop for random inspections.
The production workers in the workshop are all wearing white work clothes, hats and masks, and they are concentrating on the work at hand.
"The environment here is relatively clean, but further testing is still needed."
Section Chief Liu took a closer look at the environment in the production workshop, nodded slightly, and asked the analyst to take out a measuring instrument and start sampling everywhere.
"Section Chief, all environmental parameters are up to standard," the analyst reported to him ten minutes later.
"Okay, let's go on to randomly check the products."
Section Chief Liu pointed to the dozens of cans in front of him, which were randomly selected by civil servants from the production line and warehouse.
More than two hours later, the analyst reported: "Section Chief, all parameters of the sample are qualified and comply with relevant national standards."
"Well, not bad."
Section Chief Liu nodded and said to Wan Cheng, who was obviously relieved: "Manager Wan, this batch is export canned food, right?"
He pointed to the ones on the table with labels in Russian and German.
There are several cans with a cute and naive cartoon fat pig printed on the labels of these cans, and the product names are "dasessenvonfeisch" and "rhao6eд" lunch meat.
"Yes, these canned luncheon meats are exported to Russia and Germany."
Wan Cheng said quickly: "Liu Ke, we are following the document regulations.
The raw materials of these exports and domestic products are strictly separated.
We will never "mixed" Section Chief Liu said seriously: "As long as you know, the standards for export and domestic sales are different.
If you are careless in this regard, the consequences will be very serious."
Yes, China now implements double standards for products.
First-class domestic sales, second-class exports to Europe and the United States, and third-class exports to the third world.
It is completely opposite to the big picture.
Because Mr.
Wen is a very protective person.
In his eyes, people are different.
He can't even achieve "everyone is equal", so what are the things like "nothing is trivial in diplomacy", "preferential treatment to foreign guests", etc.
Such funny views are even more fart to him.
Take canned luncheon meat as an example.
Domestic luncheon meat must use qualified good meat.
The starch content must not exceed 10%, the vegetable protein content must not exceed 10%, and the meat content must not be less than 80%.
Many internationally "legal" additives It is not allowed and is strictly enforced.
Of course there are those who don't believe in evil, but after dozens of bosses were punished to the point of losing their entire fortune and sentenced to more than ten years of hard labor, everyone else became honest.
Canned luncheon meat for export is a completely different story.
Don’t even think about qualified fresh meat.
It’s basically inferior meat from old sows and old boars, expired frozen meat in cold storage, and meat that’s not easy to sell and that’s not in a good location, such as The fat, foot oil, troughs, etc. removed from the pig skin.
As for the content, it only needs to reach 50.
Just add starch, vegetable protein, etc. as hard as you can.
As long as the lunch meat in the end still tastes meaty, it is qualified.
As for internationally "legal" additives such as Sudan red and sodium nitrite, they are naturally used for special purposes.
Because of the use of these things, the appearance and color of luncheon meat sold abroad are better than those sold domestically.
The bright and attractive red of the export version does look appetizing, of course, with the help of Sudanese red.
In addition, the shelf life of the export version is also much longer, which is the result of sodium nitrite.
In addition, there is another raw material manufacturing technology that is not open to private enterprises, and that is "regenerated meat".
The raw materials are diseased pork, dead pork and spoiled pork.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The manufacturing process is very simple, which is to add water and mash these things, mix in some additives to make a "base", and then add a special fungus and let it multiply.
This fungus feeds on the "base material" and will soon grow into a pink jelly-like thing, which becomes "regenerated meat" after being picked.
In fact, this is a kind of animal feed in the 23rd century, not for human consumption.
Then grind this "regenerated meat" into minced meat, add pork flavor modifier to get pork mince, add beef flavor modifier to get beef mince, you can just add whatever flavor modifier you want for the meat, it's very convenient.
However, this technology is still relatively advanced, so it is not open to the private sector.
It only sells the finished meat paste directly to those companies with export orders, allowing them to take it back and process it into cans for sale.
But even if Chinese companies do this, they are still much more conscientious than European and American capitalists.
Even if it is "regenerated meat", it has gone through a transformation.
At least it does not directly use dead meat or spoiled meat, and the nutritional content of "regenerated meat" is definitely sufficient.
At most, you can say that it is not real meat.
Poyang Xianggao Food Company has an export quota, so it is naturally qualified to purchase this "regenerated meat".
These things are mixed with defective pork, canned and sent to the front lines of the European War.
Although people who know the inside story don't take this kind of thing seriously, Mao Xiong and Er Dezi are very satisfied with this product.
Of course they don't know the inside story, well, or it doesn't matter if they do.
Anyway, they are all for gray cattle and cannon fodder, not for nobles and gentlemen.
It's just a close call.
It's good to have some meat to eat, but they can't be picky.
Everyone knows that in order to maintain combat effectiveness in high-intensity battles, frontline soldiers need to consume sufficient amounts of protein and fat every day.
However, it is difficult to provide fresh meat to soldiers on the battlefield.
The exception is senior officers.
Most of what they can eat is bacon.
This stuff is dry and hard, making it inconvenient to handle and difficult to digest.
To say that this kind of thing is really a fortress, even the American soldiers with the most luxurious supplies had eaten bacon during the Civil War during World War I.
As for the hardness of this stuff, anyway, soldiers use this stuff to make handicrafts, and they can also be polished with files and grinding wheels.
And the most important thing is that although bacon is unpalatable, the price of this thing is not cheap either.
The canned luncheon meat in China is different.
It can not only be stored for a long time, but also easy to eat.
It can be eaten immediately after opening, can be eaten hot or cold, and can also be made into dishes with other foods.
Not to mention the nutrition and taste, it is so much better than the mummy-like dried bacon.
This is true.
Due to the addition of flavorings such as flavorings, spices and MSG, this thing tastes better, at least when you just eat it.
When the time comes, it can really be said to be fragrant and delicious.
The most important thing is that the price of luncheon meat is much cheaper than bacon, so representatives from Russia and Germany purchased large quantities after tasting the samples.
This also made Chinese can manufacturers rich, and even the workers in the factory laughed at the bonuses.
There are also related upstream and downstream industries, such as the logistics and transportation industry, the breeding industry, the steel industry, the chemical industry and even the printing industry, etc., which have all benefited, which can be said to have driven a series of enterprises.
Hello everyone is really good.
The cannon fodder on the European frontline have enough delicious meat, their government saves money, China's related industries make money, and the market is prosperous.
This kind of good thing that everyone benefits from must be big.
Dry done
