A Plan to Unify the Language

By the time Luo Chong returned from the Tang Tribe, it was already October. After coming back, he first threw himself into tinkering with the Steam Engine, then busied himself with firearms research. He also spent nearly half a month working on the camera along the way. By the time the firearms had finally been formally finalized, it was already the end of December.

That day, after handing the firearms' finalization standards to Hu Jin, Luo Chong ordered him to begin stockpiling materials for gun production, but he did not have them start manufacturing immediately. The Han Tribe's demand for firearms was not that urgent at present.

The most pressing task for the Power Research Institute was now the mass production of Iron Horse Type 1 and Iron Ox Type 1 Steam Engines, followed by installing them in various machines. In particular, all the existing equipment at the mint on Lake Heart Island had to be converted to steam power to increase currency output and fill the market void that would be created by the coming population surge.

Luo Chong's idea was much like the process by which the People's Liberation Army had liberated the entire country back then: wherever they took a place, renminbi immediately followed. Wherever he seized territory, the Han Tribe's currency naturally had to follow as well.

Hu Jin also understood the importance of the matter, so he hurried back without stopping and immediately threw himself into the work.

The Industrial County in Xingang Commandery was still very small. Basically, it could be said that there was only one research institute and one factory mainly producing Steam Engines there. The institute was still conducting various kinds of Steam Engine research, while also having to send some technicians to train workers in learning and using Steam Engines.
