By that time, the British textile industry will eventually become a backward industry.

The machines made by electric machine tools will be more precise than machine tools driven by steam engines, and technology will enter an era of explosion.

In a short period of time, with technological innovation, human life will undergo rapid changes. This change will come faster than ever before.

The Chinese will then be able to leave the West far behind.

When the British Macartney mission visited China at the end of the 18th century, Emperor Qianlong still regarded himself as the emperor of heaven and did not realize that Britain was rapidly catching up. This was a normal reaction for an emperor in an agricultural society who had not seen the power of the industrial revolution.

Similarly, at the end of the 19th century, the British Empire also showed lack of preparation for the United States, Germany and other countries to rely on the technological catch-up of the Second Industrial Revolution.

This is what Dong Liang thinks. He plans to rely on these research institutes on the edge of the Min River to give those Western powers an unforgettable slap in the face.

Those Western white people who sneer at the long-braided Orientals in newspapers and magazines think that Orientals are ignorant.

They don't know that Eastern people are not only smart, but also more united and more diligent. At that time, they will understand what it means to be a frog in a well and what it means to be arrogant.

Finally, Dong Liang came to the dock area. Here are the eight largest docks in the shipyard, and eight huge keels have been laid.

This is the most difficult part of building a ship. The next step is like building blocks. The steel plates produced in the steel factory are connected piece by piece with rivets, and then the gaps are welded.

The "Longwei Class" is the hope of the Chinese navy, and it is the trump card that Dong Liang prepared for them when the West besieges the Chinese in the future.

The Chinese now have five large shipyards.

Chicken coop, Anping, Fuzhou, Tongan, Huangpu.

Among them, the Chicken Coop Shipyard was actually relocated and expanded from the shipyard on Iriomote Island. Because Iriomote Island is too small, raw materials are very scarce and need to be transported from the outside.

Jilong Shipyard mainly manufactures merchant ships and iron-ribbed wooden hull steam battleships. The central mountain range of Toban Island reserves a large number of giant trees.

The former Chinese nest can no longer accommodate this giant dragon.

Anping Shipyard was expanded on the basis of the original Anping Shipyard in Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and also inherited part of the technical backbone of Iriomote Island.

Anping Shipyard originally manufactured rocket boats, but now it has begun manufacturing mosquito gunboats and steam-powered rocket boats.

Tong'an and Huangpu Shipyards mainly manufacture merchant ships. Tong'an Shipyard builds traditional Chinese merchant ships and fishing boats.

The Whampoa Shipyard was a confiscated British industry that mainly manufactured steamships.
