Even though the Import and Export Committee of the Datang Empire has very strict restrictions, it is difficult to completely block the science and technology.

Over the years, although Datang has not exported even a single screw from official channels, there are still many industrial products prohibited by Datang from exporting, especially machinery and equipment, and then spread to various places through various smuggling channels.

No matter where or who, there will always be some people who put their own private interests above the collective interests.

In the Datang Empire, it was no exception.

Over the years, many of the machinery and equipment smuggled out of the Tang Dynasty were not something that the Europeans or the Tatars could do by themselves, and there must be the contribution of the Tang traitor.

This kind of direct smuggling is actually quite good. More importantly, with Datang's global expansion and colonization, after many people go overseas, it is inevitable that Datang's science and technology will also be taken out.

With a large number of talents who have received new education and many books spread all over the world, many basic theories of modern science have also begun to spread around the world, and even Europe and the Tatars can find various books published by Datang. After the book, this is the most deadly for Datang.

Physical goods, that is, the smuggled export of various mechanical equipment, although it cannot be completely banned, but under the severe crackdown of the Import and Export Committee, the scale is still controllable, the scale is not large, and the role it plays is limited.

In addition, even if these advanced mechanical equipment were given to the natives, it would be of little use for a while.

After all, one or two pieces of equipment alone are useless. To play the role of these mechanical equipment, what is needed is an entire industrial system. For example, Europeans or Tatars want to manufacture rifled guns, then they need It is not a piece of equipment, but a whole production line. In addition to this production line, there are also various upstream production lines that need to be matched.

For example, a gun barrel, even if you give you a piece of equipment to rifling, but you have to have the barrel first, and even if you give you the equipment to process the barrel, you have to have steel!

Come again, even if you are given all kinds of equipment, the tool will be worn out when you mass-produce it later, so you have to replenish it.

Then all the problems are solved, and there is still one problem that remains unsolved.

That is they simply can't find enough skilled workers and engineers to keep the factory running!

So in the end it's still the same!

To play the role of these advanced machinery and equipment, you must first have a complete industrial system!

And sorry, this kind of industrial system is on a global scale, and it is currently owned by Datang.

Therefore, the leakage of a small number of mechanical equipment will have negative effects, but the impact is not large.

In recent years, Europeans have thought of many ways, and they have even obtained a lot of steam engines, but now, they still can't build high-pressure steam engines.

At most, it is to build a low-pressure steam engine for lifting water in the mine.

However, if knowledge is spread on a large scale, this is fatal to Datang.

People learned advanced modern scientific knowledge, and gradually they were able to build their own industrial system from existence to nothing, just like the original Tang Dynasty.

This is the same as the European man-made steam engine.

They have had samples of steam engines for a long time, but they have been unable to imitate them. In the end, they systematically studied a large number of scientific books brought back from the Tang Dynasty, and then slowly imitated them.

Therefore, the leakage of a large amount of scientific knowledge is more deadly for the future of Datang.

However, it is difficult for the Tang officials to prohibit the spread of these basic scientific theories on a large scale.

Knowledge is transmitted no more than actual objects.

The ships of knowledge often only need a few books, and sometimes they don't even say the books, and people can spread it out directly by words and deeds.

Although it is said that the people of the Tang Dynasty called the barbarians aborigines, they looked down on the Europeans and Tatars.

But when Europeans spend a lot of money and use gold as a temptation to lure those poor Tang people to become teachers and instructors for them, there will always be people there.

Last year, the people at the European station of the Naval Intelligence Service got an important piece of information.

It is rumored that there is a group of imperial scum who want money and life, but they want to help the Tartars build steam-engine warships!

They planned to install a smuggled steam engine on a wooden Tatar warship, and if successful, would allow the Tatars to acquire a steam-powered warship.

Fortunately, the navy was very sensitive in this regard, and when they got a tip that the Tatars were planning to build steam-engine warships, the naval officers in the European fleet were taken aback.

Then the fleet went straight to the sea, headed straight to the coastlines of the Baltic Sea and the North Sea controlled by the Tatars, and shelled the shipyards in several port cities controlled by the Tatars one by one.

In the shelling of the port at the end of last year, the Datang Navy's fleet stationed in Europe bombarded almost all the shipyards under the control of the Tatars. Generally, after the shelling was completed, marines would be sent ashore to search.

In the end, the Marine Corps of the Navy found a ship-based steam engine in the port of Kiel~www.wuxiaspot.com~ And it is a new type of steam engine of the Empire in recent years, with a maximum horsepower of 600 horses.

It's a pity that the group of scumbags who tried to help the Tartars build steam-engine warships could not be found.

This case can also be fully explained.

The development of Europeans and Tatars is inseparable from the figures of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xuan is very clear about this, but there is no good way.

Various bans have been in place for a long time, and the punishment measures are also very severe.

But there are always people who want money or death, or go to Europeans or Tatars for other purposes, trying to teach those natives to control science.

In this regard, Li Xuan is also very helpless!

The foreseeable future is that this situation will definitely continue, so external threats will definitely exist, unless the Tang Dynasty bombs the sky and directly kills all the indigenous people.

Even if there is no external threat, the internal threat will always exist.

The Tang Empire will never lack threats.

Therefore, the Datang military will not lack opponents.

However, Li Xuan is very clear about these things, but the generals of the military are not necessarily.

They didn't look too far, just looking at the words in front of them, it was no wonder they were worried about being released by the horse to Nanshan.

Looking around the world, Datang has no enemies.

The most important thing is that the Spaniards/Portuguese people are too spineless and have too little appetite. They dare to sell the entire west coast of Africa and parts of South America for just a few million Tang yuan...

You make any large-scale war cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of military dollars, and the Tang army and navy who only slap the big ones in the end feel so bad!

They made the military seem like a prodigal!
