Chapter 380 The Future 2

Sanger was very active. Although Benjamin was an engineer specializing in steam engines, he had a wide range of knowledge.

In addition, there were experts in various professions in the same industry. Since they decided to do a business together, they discussed and immediately drafted the first industry - steel.

Yes, these high-level intellectuals aimed at the foundation of this heavy industry.

The United Kingdom naturally had steelmaking technology, and there were also various large and small private steel mills in the colonies.

The most common model was to open a small smelter near various iron mines for simple processing and casting.

Anyway, steel is easy to sell, especially the government's recent infrastructure construction and shipyards building ironclad ships, all of which require a lot of steel.

As downstream industry-related personnel, Benjamin and others certainly knew the demand for steel in the future.

This is a qualified business.

Sanger used some tricks to allow Benjamin and others to do some private work one after another.

Many shares in his new factory were distributed, including powerful officials in the colonies and the families of various masters of the House and Senate.

So his actions were so fast, and he was supported by the official machine.

Anyway, everyone is very skilled in using the kingdom's money to do their own things.

As long as they are not caught, they are not afraid at all.

For money, Benjamin and others worked very hard. Engineers with relevant experience designed blast furnaces and production processes.

Benjamin also built a small railroad to assist mine production.

Soon, the steel plant had output and directly supplied the shipyard.

Benjamin and others made a lot of money and began to use steam engine technology to get involved in other industries.

Driven by them, the entire colonial government was building steam-powered chemical plants on a large scale.

…

The development of steam technology is like a wild horse that has run away from its reins, and it is out of control.

Because this world has an additional intervener, various technological leaps are very frequent.

The steam technology that was originally eliminated in another world has been deeply excavated to reveal more potential.

In just ten years, steam technology has changed the world by leaps and bounds.

No one thinks it has no future, but most people think this is the future.

A little bit of technical obstacles has not attracted attention.

Everyone thinks that the steam age will still be glorious for a long time.

Only Derek knows that steam technology has not yet reached its peak, but it does have an upper limit.

The future... has never been the age of steam.

Therefore, he never blocked some related technologies, but instead promoted them.

On the contrary, he hid the profound knowledge of basic materials, steam warships and general technology tightly.

On the contrary, various steam machines were spread without money.

Heavy industrial investment cannot be recovered in a short time.

And once you get used to the steam industry, it is very difficult to turn around.

The fact that the Northern Principality can find a buyer does not mean that everyone can find a buyer.

In fact, the regions and individuals who have taken over a large number of heavy steam machines will only be very miserable in the future.

But this is the reality. No one will sympathize with you, but will only lie on your corpse and have a feast.

Derek is not a saint, so he did not hesitate to do it.

Not ruthless to others, how can you be ruthless to yourself?

Under this premise, the Northern Principality has been expanding while upgrading various industries.

Under this environment, the Colonial Governor's Office is also one of the buyers.

This is not just a takeover. After all, compared with the United Kingdom, these technologies are still very powerful.

Strong trunk and weak branches are also politically correct.

So Governor Jeffreys was very happy. After reporting from the mainland, the strength of various supports suddenly increased.

Although some official appointments were rejected, they were all dead cases that could not be said.

At least the mainland also gave enough support, which was still reliable.

After returning to the colony, a large number of machines shipped from the mainland began to be assembled. First, a steam textile factory was built, and then various light industrial factories.

As for the smelter, it also took the opportunity to expand.

The entire colony suddenly became hot, and a large number of people joined the factory, which in turn promoted immigration.

The colony is sparsely populated, and agricultural production is in the form of large farms and family farms.

Civilians from the mainland can complete all the production tasks of a farm as long as they buy a batch of black slaves.

There are more people in this industry, and food is not worth much, and the internal circulation is also very strong.

It was not until a large number of factories were built, which increased many employment opportunities and opportunities to make money, that the temptation of the colony gradually increased.

In the eighth year of the Principality, the colonies finally began to benefit from industrial benefits.

…

In Degen Harbor, transport ships were docked on the shore, and the separate immigration channel was crowded with people.

In the eighth year of the Principality, which was also the tenth year of the Duke's rule over the Augusta Territory, the population tide finally began to show some signs.

The mortality rate of the children ten years ago began to drop greatly, and the adult population has increased in the past two years.

Of course, the mainland has not yet reached the point where it cannot survive, but the competition is indeed great.

In addition, gold rush in the colonies has become a consensus, and many people want to give it a try.

Anyway, even if they fail, there is a bottom line. With so many factories, they will not starve to death.

Rhodes is one of them. He is nineteen years old this year. When he was a child ten years ago, he lived in the Augusta Territory.

There have been huge changes in the past ten years. With the help of geographical advantages, Augusta Territory has developed very well, and his batch of families have also made a small fortune.

Good's family is not poor, but well-off.

However, as the second son of the family, it is destined to be difficult to inherit the family's small workshop.

In addition, with a broad vision, Augusta Territory is close to the capital, and has been greatly influenced.

Although Good did not get into college, he was not a muddle-headed civilian.

So after careful research, after obtaining further financial support from his family, he embarked on a flight to the New World.

After signing up at the crowded immigration point in Degen Port and seeing the surging crowd, Good felt that he had made the right choice.

After saying goodbye to his family, he boarded the ship with new expectations.

But before success, he must first be influenced.

In order to improve the efficiency of immigration, the accommodation conditions on the ship are very poor.

The big bunk bed is full of people, and all kinds of smells make Good almost vomit.

After all, as a member of the new citizen class, it is the first time for Good to experience this kind of environment.

Soon, he also contributed to the bad air environment... a pool of vomit.

Fortunately, the passenger next to him was a simple young man who asked for a glass of water, which made him feel better.

The two young men also got to know each other, and Good also knew that the other party was a barbarian mixed-race, and his family was too poor, so he was going to try his luck in the New World.

Compared with the mixed-race young man, Good's horizons were much broader.

So he quietly promised the other party: "When you get to the New World, you will come with me. Few people will really get rich by panning for gold. I'm afraid you will still have to work in a factory in the end. Why don't you help me first."

Good knew that it was impossible to do business by yourself, so of course you had to win over a few helpers.

It happened that the mixed-race young man was simple and reliable, so he just took it as a way to repay his kindness.

The other party did not hesitate. Seeing Good say so, he immediately agreed. Anyway, he hadn't thought about what to do.

The two young men and more people, with a dream of getting rich, finally set foot on the New World.
