Over the past several months, wages have steadily increased. Although according to the regulations of the Labor Act, the minimum wage is 3 yuan per month. But at this time, Shenzhou's minimum wage was 6 yuan per month. And in some factories, wages have risen to 8 yuan per month.
If someone is hiring below that, the workforce will be alienated and ignored. In the capital, Shenzhou never absents from work. Besides, most factories still have a shortage of labor. This caused most business people to increase their wages to induce people to work in their factories.
Unlike other regions of the empire, most residents earn 1.5 yuan per month. Also, this amount is subject to significant taxes. Cannot saving for a rainy day for a month
They all heard rumors coming from merchants that Shenzhou was prosperous. People have work to do, no starving. 3-4 times more income than them. Besides, the result is much more comfortable. And most factories have still lacked insufficient labor demand.
Young people thinking of establishing themselves don't want to do farming anymore. They began walking into the center of the country in search of a better life. If you look up above the sky, You will be able to see the movement of goods and pedestrians flowing to Shenzhou in a straight line in all four directions.
Zhao Lingxin witnessed a factory for producing synthetic ammonia. He got into a carriage with Qin Bo and accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel Mu Kang to move to a secret place.
The convoy of the chariot moves in a direction that is uninhabited. And it came to an area where the barbed wire was intensely tricky to pass. There is a screening point to check carefully before letting the wagon pass. The royal chariot passes the checkpoint periodically. At the checkpoint, there will be radio communication reports along the way.
"Report 001 is on the way, roger that"
"HQ acknowledged. Get ready for the arrival of 001," a radio voice reported the situation.
When the carriage arrived in front of a building that didn't even have a name tag, soldiers were waiting for Zhao Lingxin's arrival.
When Zhao Lingxin stepped down from the carriage, The sound of the army rang.
"To the Emperor Long live the Great Da Zhou Empire!."
Zhao Ling Xin turned to Lieutenant Colonel Mu Kang beside him.
"This place is very mysterious and complicated. The security is excellent." Zhao Lingxin looked over the surroundings. That is massively secured.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. This place is classified as a secret facility for the Ministry of Science, and even the official records are not recorded. Only the Ministry of Science knows about this place," said Lieutenant Colonel Mu Kang proudly. And he continued.
"This place has security and confidentiality measures according to the current convention. If they're not involved, don't expect to get through even the front door. There was a troop of soldiers here at the Ministry of Science, armed with heavy weapons to protect anyone from invading. "
"It's Time. Let's go ." Zhao Lingxin entered the reinforced concrete building.
The building is a private, scientific research institute established directly under the Ministry of Science supervision. Lieutenant Colonel Mu Kang, Minister of Science, is the commander of this institute.
The Secret Research Institute has gathered engineers, soldiers and scientists from the system. To take part in technology development in the future, they already know the future story of this path by bringing that discovery to tangible results and building equipment in the production line.
Zhao Lingxin walked into an institute that looked like a Hollywood movie research facility. It was architecture in the 1940's. There were scientists in white clothes and their assistants walking in chaos. And a researcher who is wearing glasses walked up to Zhao Lingxin. This scientist was hidden in a secret document. Everyone knows only the code name, Dr. Chen.
"Your Majesty, I am delighted that you came to the Research Institute. I'll show you some things." Dr. Chen was not interested in any formalities. Dragging Zhao Lingxin to see his works, Zhao Ling Xin did not mind that Dr. Chen's attitude is like brilliant scientists tend to behave differently.
Dr. Chen was honored by Zhao Lingxin as the empire brain. Those subjects have some origins. Zhao Lingxin has found a unique choice from a system that will help retrieve the most outstanding scientist's memories in history.
He only needs to use 5000 energy points together. Of course, Zhao Ling Xin didn't hesitate a bit. Choose to summon the best scientist Zhao Lingxin can say that Dr. Chen is the Chinese version of Einstein.
The first time I met Dr. Chen's face Zhao Lingxin had a headache immediately. The other asked for a huge budget to build a massive energy tunnel beneath the city to research physics particles in the universe.
If Zhao Ling Xin agreed to make a deal, the Great Da Zhou Empire would be in financial bankruptcy. Moreover, these things are not going to benefit the country at this time.
Zhao Lingxin rejected the other side. Begged Dr. Chen Help design and build equipment that will help develop Dazhou.
Dr. Chen took Zhao Lingxin to a corner of the research institute.
"Your Majesty, this is the first diesel engine that I can invent. It's a four-stroke. 30 horsepower Superior to the first device invented by Germany"
Zhao Lingxin looked at the diesel engine excitedly. The era of oil is finally near.
Diesel engines are significant; cars, planes, tanks all need potent vehicles. This is the first step of a new era has arrived.
"Dr. Chen, can this thing could be improved or not?" Zhao Lingxin asked.
"Of course, I think when we can improve to about 50 horsepower, it would be fine. By then, it was ready to go into mass production. But your highness, I think the problem is not from the engine, but from something else, you know? "
Zhao Lingxin nodded.
"About this, I know quite a bit. The empire is running out of gas and rubber."
"Yes, Your Highness, without oil, these are scrap iron, Not to mention the tires that are important at all. Without these two, no matter how good I can perform the engine, "said Dr. Chen.
"Dr. Chen, don't worry. This trouble, I will try to fix it quickly." Zhao Lingxin replied to Dr. Chen.
Cars need oil, Which is almost nonexistent in the Great Da Zhou Empire. Only a small quantity is sufficient for the experiment. The Natural Resources Exploration Corps relentlessly accelerated the geological exploration to find oil fields. But for now, no additional oil fields have been found. The current situation of the Empire was similar to that of Nazi Germany as if they overlapped.
The problem of tires is many times heavier than oil. However, Zhao Lingxin was able to resolve the issue by exchanging rubber tree seeds from the system. However, the rubber tree takes ten years to grow to produce. Zhao Lingxin definitely couldn't wait till ten. Causing him to find another way
Which solution to rubber problems is straightforward, Just synthetic rubber from petroleum products. But like a hoop snake, The issue has come back to the same point, that is, the need to find oil fields. If an oil source is found, it can produce synthetic rubber at the same time.
"Dr. Chen, how is it about studying spirit stones?"
Zhao Lingxin asked.
He thought of using the spirit stone as an energy source without pollution. If the research is successful, it will be a significant discovery in history. Zhao Lingxin firmly believed in Dr. Chen's brain that he could find something.
"If that's the case, there is some progress." Dr. Chen takes Zhao Lingxin to another room. With spirit stones placed on the table Along with some research equipment
"We discovered that spirit stones emit some unique energy. This can be said to have power in and of itself. But with limited tools, we cannot discover hidden things and the rest of the advantages," said Dr. Chen.
"If so, is there a way for the Spirit Stone to become an alternative energy source for oil?" Zhao Lingxin asked hopefully.
"In theory, it is possible. But we need to redesign all the equipment, which requires huge research budgets because this is where we need to start over from the very beginning. Unlike oils that have been researched and developed for a long time, it may take us decades to develop. And the biggest factor of spirit stones is that they are costly."
Dr. Chen explained in detail.
"It's like that." Zhao Lingxin gave up on developing a device that uses spirit stone energy. And this made him realize that spirit stones were costly.
According to the current exchange rate, one spirit stone would be 9700 Yuan. According to this exchange rate, the spirit stone became the most expensive energy source in the world. This development project was folded into a box, never seeing the sun's lights anymore.
At that moment, the side Qin Bo said.
"Your Majesty, an urgent call from the Prime Minister," Qin Bo raised his bag by his side and put it on the table. Before entering code 4, open the bag. Inside is a radio that uses a particular signal. Able to communicate directly between the emperor and the prime minister if there is an urgent matter. Qin Bo pressed the green button, then raised the handset to Zhao Lingxin.
Zhao Ling Xin spoke through the transmitter.
"It's me, Zhao Lingxin."
"Your Majesty, please come back to the palace urgently. There is an emergency," Prime Minister General Guo Ling's voice said.
"I'll hurry back right away." Zhao Lingxin returned Qin Bo's equipment. Then quickly ordered the return to the royal palace.
