The Queen Villainess Eavesdrops on My Heart and Won’t Let Me Slack Off

Chapter 193: The Construction of the Imperial Industrial System

Half plane, chapter of imbalance.

While the two sea lords were competing for dominance, the Empire was still steadily developing and gradually promoting the full popularization of second-generation crystal magic machinery, gradually replacing first-generation machinery in the market by leveraging the advantages in performance and price.

This process went very smoothly.

The popularity of the design spirit wristbands, as well as the 40% incidence of magical talents, made the small disadvantages of second-generation crystal magic machinery insignificant compared to the huge advantage in terms of price.

No matter which world you're in, when it comes to competition in the free market, price is always one of the best weapons.

Due to the upgrade of crystal magic machinery, Frankenstein is very busy.

The Unbalanced Chapter is not only the Empire's most important mechanical design and research and development center, but also the maker and regulator of the entire industrial system of the Empire.

More and more wizards in the Empire are now choosing to start their own businesses. Even the wizards within the Secret Magic Council are willing to give up their stable jobs and vigorously join the entrepreneurial wave, becoming pioneers to pursue a wider world.

The Queen of Eternal Night doesn't prohibit such behavior, but rather encourages it greatly.

Because Roger told only her that industrial development requires competition from many parties to achieve true prosperity.

Everyone should contribute their own command.

The one who stands alone with no rivals, in the end, will become a fallen and corrupt ruin.

Although there are more and more competitors now, and their strength and products are also becoming mature, the Imbalance Chapter is always the gem of the Empire's industry.

Not only are we at the forefront of research and development, but we also master the manufacturing standards of the entire crystal machinery.

The newly established Industrial Department is headed by Franken Stein, promoting the Empire's overall strategy and unwaveringly promoting standardization production which was emphasized by Roger in the beginning.

Whether it is the universal interface of the bunny harvester, the transmission gears of the internal drive machinery, or the magical pressure and frequency output array of the core crystal, as long as it is produced by the Empire, from small screws to large war machinery, all are designed to the same standards, with the requirement of achieving universalization and interchangeability of parts.

This is just as important as having a unified system of measurement. Only when the width of all vehicles is standardized, can roads be built to allow more vehicles to travel smoothly on top of them.

Industrial standardization is even more important than this, and although it may seem like an unnecessary expense at first, it will bring endless benefits in the long run.

Because the areas involved in industry will only become increasingly complex, there must be unified standards to mobilize the strength of the entire country and concentrate social resources to overcome and complete super projects.

At that time, the industrial reform that the Empire is now undergoing was truly blooming.

Projects on Earth such as the Manhattan Project, the lunar landing program, the two bombs and one satellite program, and the International Space Station would have been impossible to assemble if there were not unified production standards; parts produced by different factories would not be compatible with each other.

Coordination is possible, but wouldn't it be better if there were already unified standards?

Even a small time correction could lead to big problems like the "Y2K bug" and result in a systemic collapse.

Therefore, magical industrialization is not about building a lot of factories and increasing steel production by a certain percentage every year to succeed.

What needs to be completed in the end is a complete system that involves every aspect of society, and there cannot be any carelessness.

Although there are many countries on Earth, only four regions have a complete industrial system, namely China, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Europe.

Other countries are merely attached to this system of production and simply go with the flow. Regardless of how prosperous they may be currently, the question of whether these small countries can maintain their independence in the long run remains.

Looking at the cemetery of some empires, even if it brought down an empire tens of times its own size, the only option left is to engage in guerilla warfare. Can a place like this have a bright future?

If a lighthouse imposes a trade blockade on the rabbit, the rabbit may be able to grit its teeth and persevere, but if another country were to do the same, without international trade, the domestic market may simply collapse.

After the disintegration, the big-haired bear faces huge shortcomings in people's livelihood, which limits its industrial strength, making it increasingly look like a cripple that relies on resource exports.

In a highly competitive economic order, the advantage of the first mover is infinite.

There may be unilateral overtaking in some aspects, but if one wants to make up for all the shortcomings and achieve overall superiority, it will really take hundreds of years of continuous effort.

Mastering standards and developing game plans are operations that first movers must do and inevitably will do.

It may not seem like there is any advantage on normal days, but once conflict and competition arise, those who master the rules can easily defeat the overconfident.

The most familiar to everyone is the new 5G standard. There were many debates and controversies about who would make this standard at the beginning, but why was it so important?

Because this is not just as simple as a mobile phone, but a bunch of new devices surrounding the mobile phone.

It is a huge economic benefit as well as a huge opportunity, involving many fields such as information security, subsequent development, and industrial upgrading.

Once the standard is set, latecomers either have to obediently follow and pay for protection fees (patent authorization), or they can't even afford food.

Because the devices in the market are all produced according to other people's standards, if you want to bypass and use another standard, you won't be able to find matching products.

Unless enough relevant industries can be established, calling for the entire upstream and downstream production chain to compete according to standards, this is the competition at the top level of the industry.

The winner takes all, and the loser gets nothing, and the first-mover advantage is infinite.

Even for buyers, it is not an easy decision to switch to incompatible new standards, no matter how attractive the product claims may be.

Economic cost, time cost, and learning cost can all hinder the promotion of new standards.

A small improvement may ultimately be less effective than making tweaks and fixes within the existing standard framework, which is the benefit of mastering the standard.

Now, in the world of Eternal night, the flame of magic industrialization has just been ignited. The magicians, who used to operate independently and value the purity of their products, now see a blue ocean and begin to transform their knowledge and skills into a part of the industry.

For example, by joining forces to establish a factory and replacing handcrafted magic equipment with machine tools and assembly lines, they could manufacture various magic crystal machinery.

Or it could be just some parts that have performance advantages or some light industrial products that have price advantages, all of which can help these "scholars" transform into capitalists.

In this era where there are countless blank areas waiting to be explored, a new invention could possibly turn into a unicorn company.

Whether it is Green Vines or Terra, they are both striving to create an environment that encourages innovation, providing various policies and tax incentives.

Terra is even considering giving up agricultural taxes and relying solely on thriving businesses, while the Tasika government has already become extremely rich.

The Green Vines Empire, on the other hand, holds the greatest advantage of being the leader in development and has gathered the world's largest and most elite group of wizards, naturally following in the footsteps of the United States and the Soviet Union, and becoming the standard setters in all areas.

This is also a necessary consideration for national security.

The Empire's Ministry of Industry and the Chapter of Imbalance work closely together to plan the development direction of the Empire's industry, complete the formulation and implementation of various network standards, and supervise and guarantee the Empire's core interests and long-term development.

Nowadays, all newly planned factories in the Empire, from the construction of assembly lines to product parameters, must be fitted into the same production and quality testing standards.

If it doesn't meet the standards, it is not allowed to be built, and unqualified products cannot be launched on the market. The entire industrial system must be standardized, orderly, and regulated.

Many wizards oppose these regulations that "restrict their creativity". Standardized parts are a heavy shackle for their design and creativity.

After completing a proud work, one has to modify the design drawings to use various standardized components and meet various standards of the Ministry of Industry, and the materials must also meet certain specific conditions...

As a result of this series of operations, new products that could have been advanced and competitive may become mediocre and lose their competitiveness, or their costs may rise significantly-

If lucky, one can continue production, albeit with slightly less profit. If unlucky, the final accounting may reveal design failure and direct elimination.

Wizards used to create equipment freely, and it was nice to be able to buy them. Only those who have ore at home can pick and choose magic equipment.

But now the empire has directly deprived them of their freedom. If they want to come up with something new, they have to be constrained by the Ministry of Industry, which, naturally, is mocked by many wizards.

However, no amount of opposition is of any use.

Standardization has long been the direction of the Empire's magical industrialization. How could they give it up because of a little negative impact?

Why is the Empire so generous in aiding the Terra Kingdom and leaving Tasika free to perform?

She steadily took control of vast wealth and attracted speculative funds from major powers, and in a short period of time, she has built a Terra that is even more prosperous and bustling than the Empire?

Isn't it established that Tasika is absolutely loyal? Personal feelings have little reference value at the national level.

The confidence of the Empire lies in the fact that Terra's development opportunity lies in the dividend of magical industrialization, and the core standards of magical industrialization are firmly controlled by the Empire.

Including totem bracelets, they are all in accordance with the standards of the Empire.

Several irreplaceable core components have to be imported from the Empire, otherwise the cost will increase sharply and performance cannot be guaranteed.

The Ereus magic worms that build the Elysium illusion are all castrated species without reproductive ability that the Kingdom of Terra obtained, and they don't have the ability to delve into the star realm to supplement wild ones.

Other magic crystal machines are the same. It seems that building one factory after another, no matter what the Empire sells, the Kingdom of Terra can counterfeit it, and the technological capabilities are explosive.

In fact, the core technology is firmly controlled by the Empire, loop after loop.

The Kingdom of Terra is just an assembly plant. If it wants to maintain its current beautiful prospects, it is impossible to break away from the production order of the Green Vines Empire.

This is not just a simple chokehold. It's choking to the point where one cannot breathe.

If the Kingdom of Terra dares to defy the intentions of the Empire, even if it is halfway through the governance of desertification, it can be stopped directly.

The genuinely rapidly growing and soil-improving desert crops also have no reproductive ability.

If the Empire prohibits exports, the money invested by Terra will be in vain. Without continued planting to achieve a complete transformation, the situation will worsen and go back to what it was in just a few years...

Above all, these are means by which the Empire can deal with Terra without resorting to war.

When the barbarians of the Empire begin to think, they will realize how much of an advantage they can gain by preemptively reducing domestic class contradictions, freeing up the creativity of the magicians.

War? Only a fool would fight at a time like this.

Your Majesty, we have a hundred ways to defeat those backward Powers in the world without resorting to war.

This is the foundation of the Green Vines Empire, which has control over industrial standards and has comprehensively launched the magical industrial revolution.

Tasika actually understands it too. Despite her title as the queen of finance in Terra due to her expertise in land speculation, in reality, she has restricted the inflow of domestic capital into real estate.

She is very clear that houses cannot truly bring about the improvement of national power, but rather create a super-sized bubble.

As long as the Green Vines Empire issues a war threat, Terra's security will be threatened, and housing prices will explode directly.

So, she has been guiding capital to invest in real technology, catching up with the empire's most advanced production methods, and even turned around to invest in the empire, as well as possible to prohibit the sweatshop model and ensure the proportion of research and development investment, and so on.

Even if she can never catch up to the empire's first-mover advantage, she is still half a position ahead of the surrounding powers.

When this performance ends and the orcs become the empire's new province, Terra will become a free port with strong economic strength.

When the great era opened magnificently, some people already understood the rules, while others still pretended to be asleep and were unwilling to wake up, pretending that their own glory had not ended.

In this atmosphere, Frankenstein is busier than ever before, but she is happy and proud to be busy.

There are big projects in the industry and big projects in the military. All kinds of funds are coming together for oneself. Experiments that were only dared to be thought of before can now really be done...

Especially the absolute advantage in military affairs, the strength of the chapter of imbalance, can Lydia achieve it?

The competition between her and Lydia began in their student days. The black-haired loli with stronger magical talent has always dominated her in overall academic performance.

But this era is different. The competition between the chapter of imbalance and the level of life, with the popularity of crystal magic technology, results in the absolute advantage of the chapter of imbalance winning out!

Lydia? Just a fool who risks her life every day drawing cards.

Does she understand what industry is?

In the busy yet cheerful atmosphere of each day, Frankenstein, who had worked hard all day, opened up a hyperspace painting board.

In her free time, she chats with people in various places on the water chat app, and among them is her biggest customer for military orders, so she certainly has to take good care of them!

Just as Lydia was about to appreciate the practical feedback of her masterpiece and how many mermaids she had bullied...

"What, my equipment was completely destroyed?"

Frankenstein saw Nicole's report saying that the Swordfish-class submarine was subk in it's first battle by a bioengineered shoal of the maritime nation, and subconsciously whimpered like a wounded dog.

I can't accept this!

Clearly, a scum like the Thunder Harvester, can rampage on the territory of the maritime nation, and agricultural machinery almost got washed back to the land from the sea.

The Pink Rabbit is forever divine!

The Swordfish-class Submarine was her proud creation, fully prepared for deep-sea combat, loaded with numerous advanced technologies from the Secret Society, and could be regarded as the amalgamation of all the state-of-the-art technologies in the field of naval engineering the Empire jad acess to.

As a result, in the battle report provided by Nicole, the first appearance was perfectly cracked by the enemy, and half of the troops were wiped out. This raised doubts about the practical value of the equipment, and Frankenstein's blood pressure instantly rose.

It feels like eating hot pot and singing songs, and suddenly being robbed by bandits!

Just chatting before going to bed to sleep, but suddenly the brain electrified, more awake than having drunk ten cups of coffee.

"Copperbeard, we need more and better equipment," Nicole immediately replied.

Just retreated to the temporary camp, she naturally had a lot of affairs to deal with, and at the same time was waiting for Frankenstein to come online.

Without the equipment provided by the master, Na'ga would not have achieved the current results. (".jpg" is not a part of the sentence and is probably meant to indicate that the sentence is a caption for an image.)

About to enter the next battle, Haiguo suddenly acquired a batch of new equipment. Without relying solely on Na'ga's current means, Nicole's first thought was to seek help from "Copperbeard."

The master's equipment is so top-notch that there's no one else like it in the whole Eternal night world, although occasionally there are some shortcomings, but it will definitely help Na'ga win the final victory.

Therefore, when Frankenstein asked, she gave detailed feedback on various issues exposed by the weapons during the battle, without any impatience.

This was originally a condition she had to agree to in order to be able to buy equipment from the Terran Kingdom.

Although the failure of the memory recall would make her angry, Nicole is a good kid who values promises. As a saint, she also often has to appease many upset believers.

Frankenstein was just feeling depressed, but the report was still very rational, and he has been trying to answer Nicole's various questions.

Nicole's final report:

"Although the surprise attack failed, the swordfish submarine still played a significant role on the front line of the battle, with irreplaceable value in coordinating suppressive and blocking enemy retreats..."

"This is exactly what they were designed for. Right now, I just want to know how my submarine was taken out in seconds! Please tell me slowly and don't leave out any details!"
