Chapter 441

In this world, the sky is dark, a few dark crows are "quacking" in the sky.

The sun will never rise from the East, here is the eternal night, only a starry sky, emitting a dim light in the head.

In order to adapt to the weak light environment, everyone's eyes grow bigger than the real world, especially girls, just like the characters in the animation world, their eyes are big and good-looking. The main reason is that the larger the pupil, the more sensitive to light perception.

"Steam age, no day, a strange world..." Zhang Yuan vomited a mouthful of turbid gas in his chest.

He has lived here quietly for 18 years. At the beginning, just like the last world, he had a certain tendency of autism. However, with the awakening of self-consciousness, the disease has been completely improved.

Looking up at the distant starry sky, he easily recognized the so-called "Polaris".

The starry sky here is totally different from that on earth. "Polaris" is just a similar term in astronomy, which is widely used in navigation.

There are still no powers and magic in this world. His so-called "golden finger" is a very good aristocratic background, a strong body, and some mechanical design drawings about the steam age.

Well, apart from a good family background, this kind of "golden finger" is really better than nothing. Zhang Yuan even felt that all kinds of knowledge in his mind were much more effective than mechanical drawings.

He turned his head and looked at the crescent moon directly above. The shadow of the moon was actually due to the sun's light being obscured by the earth itself.

"That is to say, this planet is still a sphere, so the outline of the moon covered is an arc shape."

Due to the lack of sunlight, the population that this piece of land can support is not large. According to the information available, the total population of several continents in the world is only 100 million.

Most people don't live well.

There is a small globe on the table, which is made by Zhang Yuan according to the local navigation image, half dark and half bright. Due to the harsh environment of the planet itself, only about one tenth of the areas that human beings have explored.

"There is no day, only night in this place, so there is only one possibility The planet has been locked by the tides of the central star, so the sunrise side is always day and the other side is always night. We humans live at night

Tidal locking is a very common phenomenon in astronomy. For example, the moon always faces the earth on the same side. The time for a tide locked celestial body to rotate around its own axis is equal to the revolution period.

So, this planet actually has light, and at least half of its area has light.

So why don't humans live in the light belt of the planet?

The reason is that the star is too close to the central star, and the side exposed to light is extremely hot. Human beings can't survive in the light zone with high temperature, and can only live in the dark side with moderate temperature

"What a miserable world

However, according to the logic of physical rules, there is no lack of such tragic civilization in the universe Even if it's just a virtual world at the moment.

Zhang Yuan is thinking about what his arrival can change this civilization

For him, it has been a kind of habitual thinking.

"Count, it's time for you to prepare for Prince Valta's ball Time has come. " The old deacon interrupted Zhang Yuan's thinking and made a unique noble etiquette.

"OK, thank you for your reminding." Zhang Yuan nodded. Under the servant's service, he put on his dress and shoes, and then quickly boarded a steam locomotive.

In this world, due to the good reincarnation, he has been "count" status. His cheap father died in a shipwreck a year ago, and then the Queen conferred the hereditary title on Zhang Yuan This should be regarded as a part of "golden finger", so that he can live a very rich life without effort.

The engine "suddenly" emitted smoke, and the steam locomotive started, but it didn't tremble as expected. It shows that the steam cars here have been improved for many generations.

This is Jushi City, the most eastern city in the mainland. The annual temperature is about 24-26 degrees Celsius, which is very suitable for human beings to live in - the only disadvantage is that there is no sunshine.

The warm ocean current from the Western light belt brings a continuous stream of fish and algae, which is also a food source for urban residents.

Starting from Boulder, the farther to the west, the closer to the light, the hotter the weather.

Five hundred kilometers to the west is the junction of light and darkness, the twilight zone of the planet. In the twilight zone, the temperature has been as high as 40 degrees Celsius, human settlement in this area, barely able to survive, but quite uncomfortable. But many animals and plants can live a very happy life.

The twilight zone is no longer suitable for survival. With sunlight, it can naturally grow all kinds of plants. Therefore, in the west of the mainland, it has become a very important plant production base.Some of the less affluent, as well as all kinds of slaves, endured the heat and worked in the twilight zone. Zhang Yuan's family also has a small territory in that area. Of course, he just knew about it and didn't see it himself.

On the contrary, starting from Boulder, the colder it will be to the East.

The continent of this planet is rare, the East is a vast ocean, the annual temperature is about minus 20 degrees. The coldest place can reach minus 100 degrees Celsius, forming a thick ice layer, which is the so-called human forbidden zone.

"Hoo -"

human beings are too hard.

Zhang Yuan gently exhaled, rubbed his hands, and shrugged his nose. From afar, he could smell the unique smell of coal combustion.

Coal, the most precious material in the dark world, means energy, as well as light.

Without coal, there would be no industrial revolution. Without industrial revolution, human life would be more miserable. At least now, there are 100 million people living on the mainland and islands. It is said that in ancient times, only millions of people could live on the whole continent.

The steam locomotive is running slowly on the road. The road is paved with coal burning dross mixed with asphalt, emitting a faint smell of sulfide.

People come and go on the street, roadside gas lamps, blooming dim light. Many people can't afford gas lamps. The light source on the street is the only light source for them. Some children are doing their homework on the roadside.

Every household put some bean sprout like plants in front of the door. This kind of plants like shade can grow with a little light source of gas lamp. For the common people, vegetables are precious. Anyway, the light source is provided by the government. Why not?

"Rum from the gar islands! There are also the freshest ingredients of "Antioch" food. You have everything

"Just caught Portuguese grass, fresh!"

There are many peddlers shouting to do business on the street. In this downtown area, there are all kinds of food, wine, jewelry and spices from different islands, which constitute a false and prosperous picture.
