    With Li Xiang's active participation, Taiping's steel plant began production, and the two steel plants were put into operation almost at the same time, three days apart.  ¡À Li Xiang¡¯s advanced equipment pieced together from the space earth was put into trial operation for more than a month, and many problems were discovered.  Advanced equipment does not necessarily mean maximizing production capacity. Systematic scientific planning is one aspect, and production management affects the efficiency of the production line.  People are the promoters of primary productivity.  Thanks to China's large-scale steelmaking in recent years, it has created batches of qualified steel industry workers with more than half of the world's steel production capacity. It is also thanks to China's higher education that the first batch of steel workers in Taiping can  He quickly adapted to advanced equipment from all over the world, and thanks to the popularity of automated equipment, the two steel plants have less than 3,000 employees, including managers, which alleviated Li Xiang's troublesome talent problem.  Of course, this is based on the fact that the steel plant has not yet reached its original design capacity.  The No. 1 Steel Plant, which originally planned to have a production capacity of 10 million tons, only fired the No. 1 and No. 2 blast furnaces. Among them, the No. 2 blast furnace is still in trial operation and is not in full operation. Although the No. 3 blast furnace with the same specifications has been easily used by Li Xiang  It was erected, but the furnace has not yet been opened.  ¡°It¡¯s just a bit wasteful.¡± Zhang Jianshe, Minister of Industry, told Li Xiang several times.  With the gradual expansion of Taiping¡¯s industrial system, the original Ministry of Agriculture and Industry was officially split into two major departments: the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Agriculture. The former Minister Zhang Jianshe remained at the Ministry of Industry.  Zhang Jianshe, who is in his 40s and was trained in large-scale local industrial construction, prefers the atmosphere of the era of large-scale industrial machines. The Ministry of Agriculture, where his deputy Liang Shuping is appointed, is not small in terms of power.  Taiping¡¯s agricultural system is also constantly improving.  Although Li Xiang has no hope of growing food now, flowers, plants, trees, and even the fruits and vegetables consumed daily by Taiping people are included in the agricultural plan.  Livestock farming is also on the rise.  Although Taiping mainly relies on imports for its meat, milk and eggs are already normally supplied on the island.  The modern breeding industry does not need to rely on the external natural environment, but only relies on the supply of imported feed.  It is possible to form a large-scale industrialization of the breeding industry.  As long as a large amount of various additives are not added, the quality of eggs and milk in the modern breeding industry is still very guaranteed. By the way, Taiping has also quickly become self-sufficient in chicken.  The first thing that achieved self-sufficiency earlier was fishery.  Taiping¡¯s offshore fishing benefited from the cheap and advanced ships provided by Li Xiang, and it was already able to be exported in large quantities during the Taiping Island period.  A large number of immigrants also brought suitable offshore fishing employees. Li Xiang also had detailed information on the global ocean, and he was never short of ships.  After the ships in space were reshaped, more fishing boats began to go to farther seas.  Last year, Taiping¡¯s distant-water fishing vessels caught 110,000 tons of Antarctic krill in the Antarctic region alone, accounting for one-third of the world¡¯s catch.  Antarctic krill, a natural green food that is more nutritious than beef, is widely sold in the international market, but the cost of fishing in Antarctica is also very high. At that time, the Soviet Union relied on the support of its huge national power to reach an annual fishing record of 500,000 tons.  It has not been broken yet.  However, Li Xiang has never been afraid of cost issues. Even fuel can be synthesized dozens of times and wasted. This makes Taiping¡¯s krill fishing results attract world attention.  This amount of krill is enough to feed the Taiping people with a population of one million.  In addition to meeting some of the dietary needs of the Taiping people.  Most of the Antarctic krill has been deeply processed and exquisitely packaged, with sales exceeding US$100 million in the international market. Together with the processing of other seafood, the export value of Taiping's fishery has reached US$600 million.  Li Xiang doesn¡¯t like this little money. At most, it is just a way to cover up his money laundering.  He paid more attention to the pressure of fisheries on Taiping's food sources and the training of relevant personnel in the process of offshore fishing.  While the Taiping Kingdom continued to dispatch fishing boats to major fishing grounds around the world, the level of the Taiping Navy's reserve forces also improved significantly.  "Finally, I no longer have to worry about the money to buy food." Minister of Agriculture Liang Shuping was happy about this and felt relieved.  All food in the Taiping Kingdom was purchased from outside.  The grain consumption of one million people, including feeding and other consumption, exceeds one million tons of outsourcing every year.  It cost US$300 million.  Although Li Xiang didn't even frown and paid the bill directly with a wave of his hand, Liang Shuping, who called for food security and self-sufficiency, still had a regret in his heart until the agricultural department had its own output and filled the funding gap.  No longer an empty shell.  He was relieved.  But the funding gap for another major item of the Ministry of Agriculture cannot be filled by the Ministry of Agriculture itself.  Even if the Taiping Kingdom has Taiping Island, it has just gotten rid of the level of towns. In terms of population, it is only the size of a local city. From a geographical point of view, it is only the size of a local city.  The area is not that big, less thanIt is one-third the size of the smallest province.  The rivers and lakes spread over 10,000 square kilometers of land have not yet been filled with water and have returned to the ideal state set by Li Xiang. There is no water conservancy and hydropower construction yet, but the system of the water conservancy department has been set up, but it belongs to agriculture.  Ministry jurisdiction.  Before the emergence of Taiping Island, Li Xiang had already designed a complete water network. Rivers, lakes and even swamps, springs, and underground rivers had been built. However, water conservancy does not only rely on the natural environment to provide everything, but also rivers.  It is impossible to directly flow and moisturize every inch of the lawn.  Artificial facilities and equipment need to be arranged one by one. Li Xiang even specially reserved a hydropower station site so that the massive water resources in the space can be used to generate electricity without affecting the surrounding environment.  Every water conservancy plan and plan requires money to support it.  For Li Xiang, these equipments are basically free, but the uninformed Liang Shuping always feels a little uncomfortable when he looks at his Ministry of Agriculture, which has never produced much, and opens his mouth to apply.  Although he has a lot of power in his hands, he is still envious of the extremely well-funded Ministry of Industry.  "The Ministry of Industry has too much money and nowhere to spend it. Even blast furnaces can be built as decorations." Many people have the same idea as him and have objections to the fact that the Ministry of Industry has built three blast furnaces in one go but cannot use them.  In this regard, Zhang Jianshe, who had taken the blame, could only complain to Li Xiang.  In fact, he also understood Li Xiang¡¯s reasons for suspending the start of the No. 3 blast furnace.  Once the blast furnace is running, it will easily stop. It is very troublesome to stop the furnace once.  Especially furnaces No. 1, 2, and 3 with a large size of 5,500 cubic meters.  Many blast furnaces are often the first generation of furnaces that have not been repaired for more than ten years. Although many of the first generation blast furnaces in China are less than ten years old, they do not stop casually.  It would be better not to operate it in the first place. After all, Taiping's demand for steel is not very big now.  The industrial production system is not easy to build. Li Xiangkong has the best instruments in the world, but he cannot find so many talents.  It can only develop from point to point.  Just the two blast furnaces of the First Steel Plant can produce more than 20,000 tons of pig iron per day, which is enough to meet the needs of downstream industries.  Taiping¡¯s industry is now mainly focused on high-tech projects, and the demand for steel is not large.  Even industries that require a lot of steel, such as railways, construction, shipbuilding, and mechanical processing, do not need so much steel. Li Xiang directly provides finished products.  Li Xiang¡¯s dumping of finished products directly made the steel from Taipingguo Steel Factory unsalable.  Ordinary crude steel has long been squeezed out of the market by China and India, and the market for high-quality steel and special steel cannot be opened so quickly.  Others still have some doubts about Taiping's self-produced steel, and some even expressed concerns about Taiping's security.  If the Taiping Kingdom goes to war, how will the business be done?  The temporary loss of money is okay in the face of relatively formal international transaction rules, but the loss of time and energy consumed in readjusting supply sources and disrupting production plans is irreparable.  Considering that some of these iron ores are imported Brazilian iron ores, the rest are mixed with moisture iron ores from the earth in space and time that are insufficient for the number of superpositions.  There may be future security risks, so Li Xiangcai is determined not to allow dumping to the mainland.  Therefore, faced with China's annual steel imports of more than 15 million tons, Li Xiang could only become jealous and set an order to only dump to other countries.  The Taiping Ministry of Commerce, which did not fully understand this directive, adopted a low-price dumping strategy to digest most of the steel globally. However, under the reality of the global economic downturn, the unsalable situation still could not be greatly alleviated, so Li  Xiang's originally planned Taiping Steelmaking Plan could only be postponed.  Not only is the No. 3 blast furnace at the First Steel Plant parked, but also two supporting 300-ton converters and a 200-ton electric furnace are still not in operation.  same.  There is also a lot of waste of production capacity in the Second Steel Plant.  The Second Steel Plant mainly produces electric furnaces using scrap steel as raw materials.  When it comes to electric energy, Taiping has never been short of it.  No need to burn coal.  There is no need for nuclear power for the time being. The rich oil and gas resources in the space earth are enough for Li Xiang to waste.  Power stations used for rapid combustion, and even these oil and gas resources do not need to be superimposed. The fuels that can supply the world are copied to the small Taiping Kingdom in a one-to-one ratio, and the charts are easily exploded.  There are three large oil and gas power plants on Taiping Island.  Now they are all over one million kilowatts.  There are also three hidden underground power plants with an installed capacity of 3 million kilowatts. There are also new energy applications such as fuel cells, solar energy, geothermal, wind power, and tidal energy scattered throughout. The total installed capacity exceeds 9 million kilowatts. If  When generating electricity at full capacity, it is more than double the world's per capita electricity consumption champion in one year.  It is more than enough for those who consume a lot of electricity.  Although the world¡¯s scrap steel resources are abundant, all countries first meet their own needs. In addition, environmental protection issues, under the persuasion of Vice Minister of Industry Ding Weng, the originally planned output of the Second Steel Plant of 8 million tons was directly reduced by half, and the focus was placed on the production of special steel.  ¡° If the space earth provides Li Xiang with the most precious wealth, the formulas of various materials are unintentionally one of them.  Materials are the cornerstone of an era.  Those material formulas that require massive amounts of money, energy, and a little bit of luck are among the top state secrets of every country.  Just look at how some alloy materials in European and American countries have maintained their advancement for decades to understand the importance of these material formulas and production processes.  These are the things Li Xiang is least worried about becoming obsolete. The original materials being compiled provide an important reference for future material development.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:  It was precisely because of the local needs of China that Li Xiang deliberately did not use water-mixed scrap steel in the space.  "It would not be a good thing if special steel is dumped in such a large amount to the mainland." Ding Wengweng once put forward this opinion when he advised Li Xiang to reduce production capacity. "The current annual import of special steel in the country is only about one million tons. Such a large amount of special steel is imported to the mainland."  Local dumping will easily crowd out the growing local special steel industry. Even if it is dumped to other countries, such quantities will easily cause fluctuations in the international market, which will encourage comprador thinking.¡±  Although the factory has a 420-ton DC electric arc furnace, a 200-ton medium frequency induction furnace, and a 450-ton electroslag resmelting furnace, they are not operating at full capacity.  "The biggest and most advanced is not necessarily the most suitable." Li Xiang once couldn't help but sigh for his original aura of rich people.  "As long as these equipments are there, one day they will fully demonstrate their value." Zhang Jianshe, who did not know that Li Xiang still had a large amount of finished steel products, was full of hope for the future development of Taiping's steel industry.  In the past three months, Taiping¡¯s steel exports alone reached US$2.3 billion.  This is less than one-tenth of Taiping¡¯s industrial output value. From the beginning, Taiping¡¯s industrial planning did not intend to make profits by selling these materials.  "High-precision is a high-value-added business!" Li Xiang positioned the development direction of Taiping's industry from the beginning. "Science and technology are the first production. We must do what others cannot do and be a pioneer in promoting productivity."  Most of the people he was ridiculing were directed at the Chinese mainland.  "To make up for China's local high-tech development shortcomings and promote the take-off of China's national science and technology!" What others don't know is that Li Xiang has always had a secret idea in his heart, and he is preparing to explode it with the help of the rare golden finger of the space earth.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
