The milling and grinding machines belonged to the mother machine of the industry, which was also the machinery that could be used to manufacture industrial tools!

However, in the early stages of industrialization, there was a type of machinery that was the foundation of all matrices, and that was the forging machine!

In the human iron smelting industry, it was impossible not to be beaten. The red-hot steel plates gradually deformed under the attacks of the robust blacksmith, which was why there were metal parts such as spears, swords, halberds, horseshoes, rifle triggers, and so on.

However, there is always an end to manpower. You can't find a legendary giant to be a blacksmith to forge larger parts!

Before Industrial Revolution, steel products that weighed more than 100 kilograms were all forged, there was no way to forge them at all.

This was a very simple reasoning, because a person could not turn such a huge hammer around!

As for the products of casting processing, they were naturally flawed, and the internal structure of the metal could not be completely stable and dense. There would always be impurities in the iron water.

For example, the dough that has just been mixed with water is filled with cracks and moisture. You can only knead the dough more continuously than the dough inside. Only then will it taste better.

Large forging parts were even more so. Forging could only produce large parts with simple crude benzene. If the parts had a little pressure or elasticity, then the wear resistance of the parts would be higher. Then, the parts could only be forged.

The representative of this group was the cannon, especially the battleship's main cannon, which needed a very large scale professional forging machine to make!

This was already a power that the Qing Dynasty could not grasp. With the hydraulic forging process coupled with the power of the steam engine, this kind of complicated machine was not something that the Qing Dynasty's knowledge system could understand.

The hydraulic forging machine that Qing San Ye saw was not the biggest one. Just the entry level of 10,000 tons was already enough to dazzle his eyes.

Thousands of pounds of ingots were like dough under such a machine. You could take any shape you wanted!

”Power!” This was true strength! The people of the imperial court have only seen the Gun cannon, who has truly researched it before, where is the true power hidden? ”

”Actually, it's right in front of me. Why isn't there anyone studying it properly in the sector that's not far from the capital?”

”You, General Gui, are also known as the 'Prince Xian'. Why didn't you personally come to inspect this matter?”

Along the way from Tanggu to Shanghai, Fu Qing barely slept two hours a day. He opened his eyes to think, to think, about the industrialization of Great Qing, the reform of the imperial government, the relationship between him and Ci An, and to think about his daughter from the distant north.

Qing San Ye was no longer a man with low interests. He had no interest in women, and to be honest, Ci An alone was already enough for him to be satisfied.

If a good man could steal an empress dowager in his lifetime, the thrill would be much stronger than a group of wives and concubines!

Enough, the thrill of being a woman had come to an end, and as for money, he could freely take anything he wanted from all the factories in the Northern District, even a portion of the metal factories were owned by the Qing San Ye.

All the officials and dignitaries in Great Qing had to follow his lead to obtain some distribution rights!

There was also the telegraph office. Although Great Clear Telegraph Office was a brand-new organization, it was a super profitable company. From Shanghai to send a ten-word telegram to Beijing, it required a silver dollar.

And the cost? In fact, other than the initial cost to invest in the infrastructure, the remaining cost was basically zero!

Investing for a hundred years' worth of income was a windfall!

Fu Qing managed Great Clear Telegraph Office like his own garden. With Ci An's support, no one could steal this piece of cake!

He had enough money, he really had enough. Right now, Fu Qing's entire mind was only thinking of changing, just that he wanted to leave his name in history, just that he wanted to do a big favor!
