Chapter 114

"The steam age.

It is also known as the first industrial era.

The original world took place in the great Ying empire in the 1860s.

It can be said that it is the era of the origin of modern civilization, an era of great significance.

From a historical perspective, its value in promoting the process of human civilization is several times higher than that in the electrical age and even the subsequent information age.

The historical significance of the first steam engine cannot be overstated.

The reason why English can become a common language in the native world is directly related to the first industrial revolution in Britain.

The significance of the steam engine is not just as simple as scientific emancipation of productive forces.

It will gradually reverse the path of human beings from believing in religion, God and unknown magic power to believing in science.

This is also verified by the birth of countless explosive technologies in later generations.

Human beings are on the most correct road since ancient times. "Lan Lan's eyelashes like butterfly wings blink gently, and the crisp Lori reading sound jumps out of Tan's mouth.

She casually closed the popular science posts on the forum, turned her clear eyes and passed through a group of butterflies flying in the face.

Instead of being disturbed by the beautiful butterfly, he landed on a handsome young man not far away.

Her master is standing in front of a light curtain with a strong sense of science and technology and outlined by gold wire.

Touch your fingers lightly in the air and splash out layers of wavy ripples.

Not long ago, her master entered the steam age.

For this alien world that was desolate two months ago, the steam age is of great significance, as the popular science post just said.

However, she heard the master whisper.

"If we just follow the rules, civilization can only move towards the original world in the end."

"The earth's civilization has reached its limit, which is determined by human life span and knowledge inheritance."

"It can't be higher. More than 50 years have passed since human first landed on the moon in 1969. The development limit of exploration technology is still at the level of landing planets..."

Although I'm curious, I still want to listen to the master for a while.

But Lan Lan still calmly entered the room and poured a cup of hot tea.

The lips of cherry powder blew against the rising heat, and then took out the porcelain cup with exquisite patterns.

She bought as like as two peas in a ceramic handicraft shop on the forum, 50 virtual coins, and bought two identical ones.

Carefully staring at the water level in the teacup, she shook left and right. She walked slowly behind the master.

"... steam airships, multi tower guns and rigid suspension devices are some shadow of Steampunk. These are good branch lines of civilization and can be selected."

It seems that she missed something. The master's nagging now makes her unable to keep up with the progress.

Just now, they seemed to be talking to themselves about what planet landing and how the topic turned into the stream of steam airships.

"Master, water..."

Keep your voice to the lowest level for fear of disturbing the master's thoughts.

"Thank you." Tang Zheng turned and gently took the teacup.

Lan Lan pursed her lips and said nothing.

The word "thank you" seems a little different. She doesn't like it.

"Poof!! hiss..."

Suddenly, Tang Zheng gave a light hiss.

Lan Lan lifted her eyes and looked. It turned out that her master mistakenly thought he had brought cold water because he was too focused on the content in the light curtain.

It's rare for a calm master to be in a hurry. He looks cute and funny.

Lan Lan couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth and felt a little better.

Ask again.

"Master, what does Steampunk mean?"

"Did you hear me talking to myself..."

"Well, I haven't taught this concept in the textbook." the little girl nodded gently.

"Fu -" Tang Zheng gently blew the tea cup. The tea floated to the other side of the cup with the water wave. He drank a little before he said.

"Steampunk... A derivative culture of the steam age, a civilized era in which advanced and backward coexist and magic and technology dance together."

"Magic? That's unrealistic."

"Not all."

"Ah?" Lan Lan looked up at Tang Zheng with some incomprehension, "but there is no magic in human world."

"When any advanced technology was first invented, it was praised as magic by contemporary people. Aircraft, rockets and high-rise buildings in the original world existed only in imagination in their early years."

"That's also......" Lan Lan nodded and agreed with this explanation: "master, are you going to directly enter the Steampunk era?"

Tang Zheng laughed: "that's just a statement. On a large level, it's still the steam age. But in the original world, the electrical age comes so fast that many things that steam engines can do are completed by electricity."

Seeing the little girl's expression hanging a bit curious, Tang Zheng opened the light curtain to her.

In an instant, nearly a hundred alternative branches of civilization were presented one by one in front of her.

"What is the branch of civilization you are interested in?" Tang Zheng asked with a smile.

There are only ten alternative branches of the steam age, and in this alien world, it seems to have experienced the steam age.

But compared with human beings, the development of their times should be more blooming.

Many black technologies unheard of by Tang Zheng appeared in the entry.

Tang Zheng is not entirely sure which is the most helpful to the development of his civilization.

The little girl is smart. Maybe it's good for her to have a look.

"Let me see, um..." Lan Lan's two star eyes swept back and forth on the light curtain. The plain white and slender fingertips soon pointed to a place to ask.

"Master, what device is this differential?"

"Computer. To be exact, this device once appeared in the process of human history. It is a mechanical computing device that uses the principle of step-by-step integration method proposed by Newton to calculate the value of polynomial function. It can replace manpower and be used to calculate the values of various trigonometric and logarithmic functions. These values are mainly used to skillfully and quickly calculate the numbers that are too complex for the human brain Most of them can be accurate to six decimal places. "Tang Zheng looked at the" differential "search results displayed in the atlas, and the little girl didn't seem to see his atlas.

"Has there ever been a differential machine in human history? I don't seem to have heard of it." the little girl seemed very curious and interested.

"Well, it existed, but it almost didn't run successfully, because the gear construction involved was too large, about 2.5W mechanical parts, weighing 15 tons. It was said that it cost money to build two warships and 22 steam locomotives, but it was only completed by 1 / 7. Later, the project was stopped."

"And then?"

"Later, as we entered the electrical age and the birth of the first electronic computer, the value of the differential machine was replaced, and no one studied this huge and inefficient bulky guy."

"Alas." the little girl seemed to sigh for the scientist: "master, do we want this as a branch line of the task? It seems very difficult..."

"Of course." Tang Zheng nodded seriously. "This is a differential machine that exists in the alien world, and it has been studied and can be put into operation. Unexpectedly, they have also gone through the road that human beings once imagined."

For the alien steam age, the value of the differential engine is almost equal to that of the steam engine, the representative product of the steam age.

With it, it can accurately help Tang Zheng calculate and plan the complex structure of other mechanical devices, the resources consumed, and even the route planning during construction.

Just imagine, when others only had the iron age, or even the bronze age.

What is the concept of pulling out a computer that can calculate numerical values?

It's like you're holding a small pistol and I pulled a nuclear bomb out of my crotch!

Civilization dimensionality reduction attack!

Differential machines in the steam age, just as computers in modern times, have great significance.

Shaking his wrist, he listed the differential into the civilized branch line.

At present, the selected branches include steam engine, steam airship, steam college railcar, multi tower gun and rigid suspension device.

And the differential just included in the list.

There are ten branches of civilization that can be selected in this steam age.

There are four options left.

"Master, what is this steam robot? It seems very interesting." Lan Lan saw the robot at a glance among more than 100 kinds of civilization branches.

Tang Zheng's eyes moved up and finally settled on the steam 1 robot.

[steam 1 robot (Zhuo Chaoji)]

Attribute 1: it can replace manual completion of fine construction, material manufacturing and maintenance machinery

Attribute 2: inherit your attributes and adaptively convert them into productivity

Special attribute of Excellence Level: Evolution (steam robot can evolve into model 2, model 3, and up to model 5, and its ability will be improved with evolution.)

Description: steel shell, the core of civilization!

……

That's a good thing.

With the civilization of our times becoming more and more advanced, the follow-up industrial chain is bound to expand.

With these robots, we can replace the shortage of manpower.

It's even possible to build an industrial city.

The most important thing is that it is different from a puppet in that it can do more elaborate work.

Generally speaking, it is very thin.

Well, actually, it can be mass produced.

Puppets are good at fighting, but in work, such as some sewing, they will inevitably be unable to grasp and get wet.

add to cart!

Oh, it's to join the Oriental civilization express!

There are seven branches of civilization. Tang Zheng's eyes searched in the light curtain, and soon fell in love with another branch.

Energy conversion device.

The internal friction of steam engine is to produce a large amount of steam by burning coal mine, and then use steam to do work.

However, the efficiency of coal mines is much lower than that of oil.

Just because of the limitation of civilization, the internal combustion engine that can burn oil directly cannot be made.

But this energy conversion device can help Tang Zheng realize his dream of pouring oil into the steam engine.

It is also a great improvement for efficacy.

Good thing, take it!

Finally, Tang Zheng suggested that the little girl choose the same as herself.

Many of these things look very useful. I really can't make a choice.

Most of them are not products of the original world, so once they are missed, they can't be made again.

There are always regrets in life.

"I want this!" the little girl pointed to an icon with her tender fingers like lotus root.

Tang Zheng looked at another place.

"Bio mechanical transformation technology."

"Giant mechanical mobile castle!"

The little girl likes the castle, but she likes the mechanical transformation.

The former is the product of up to five stars of excellence. Its volume is almost the same as that of a warship. It can be installed with countless battery launchers and can accommodate thousands of machines to work together.

It can even be used for hundreds of people to live in mobile castles.

It belongs to the stream of violent aesthetics of iron and steel.

Once this big guy is created, look at any war at this stage, as long as the other party is not the whole region, or all talents above level s in the front region gather together.

Well, they are basically rolling offensives.

The bio mechanical transformation technology can endow organisms with certain mechanical energy.

Flesh and blood are bitter and weak, machinery soars!

The idea of a corpse Empire flashed through Tang Zheng's mind.

It seems a little too bloody

However, even if some animals are equipped with machinery and become their own corps of mechanical animals, it is not impossible.

Take it together!

In this way, the civilized branch lines in the ten steam era are fully arranged, and the remaining 100 kinds of branch lines are faintly scattered from the light curtain. Finally, even the interface selected by the branch line disappears.

Tang Zheng drank the cooled tea in the cup and put it gently on the wooden table.

With so many black technologies, I'm sorry for these technologies if I don't build a Steampunk city that listens to my orders.

The old era has passed, and the new era will open with the sound of the gear knocking at the door!

"I have a dream. I want to take the surviving newcomers to find and build a home that is suitable for us to live in and completely belongs to us!" the old man said in a loud voice.

"Shifu is so handsome!"

"Pa Pa!!"

With the little girl's cheering, there was intermittent applause around.

The little girl's excited piapiapi clapped. Even Murphy didn't know why. She slapped her huge hands, fanned out a powerful cyclone, and swayed the branches of the trees in front of her.

I don't know what they're talking about, but the applause is over.

The happiness of my master is the joy of my great wisdom!

of course.

Tang Zheng only said half of what he said.

He only said he wanted to find a new home, but did not say what he wanted to fight against the superior.

These words seem to be completely in line with human expectations for future civilization, which is very normal.

But that said.

But before the arrival of world unification, there will always be some tough battles to fight.

Whether it is with humans, or with the possible life in other galaxies, or the superiors.

The difficulty is conceivably huge.

The waves of civilization are always carrying the rising smoke of gunpowder!

No blood, uncivilized!
