Chapter 445

The third stop is "guernley", a small remote city that produces a kind of "Snake Girl", that is, female slaves. Due to the remote location, the human survival here is not good, if the population is too large, there is the possibility of starvation. So local people like to sell their daughters and sons. Although this kind of thing is very inhumane, it also has its specific reasons.

This station is very popular with sailors. After a long voyage, these male animals are suffocated. They can't wait to vent their desire and spend all their wages. Only a few who have seen the world and read books will choose to save money.

Zhang Yuan can only sigh a low, a person can do very few things.

Life is always full of helplessness. To know this is completely different from seeing it with one's own eyes.

Working in the direction of technology and developing science can really promote the development of the whole world.

But for him, it's still not enough.

From the first industrial revolution to the second industrial revolution, it was mainly the use of electric power and internal combustion engine. Zhang Yuan can produce electricity, but it's very difficult to apply it on a large scale, and it takes a lot of time.

For example, the large-scale application of electricity needs a serious power grid. State Grid, how big is the project? How many qualified electrical engineers are needed and how many metals are smelted? He can't do it alone.

Even with electricity, he has to invent all kinds of electrical appliances and furniture. There are many electrical appliances. He only knows the principle, but he still doesn't know a lot of details. It needs to be calculated temporarily. One person can't complete this part of the project

……

The fourth stop of the whole voyage was "albabil", a poor place, but gems were found in this place, so a large number of gold miners formed the city.

The fifth stop is close to the dusk belt in the West. There is a lot of sunshine in the sky, and the air is getting hotter

All the crew cheered loudly for the sunshine. Human beings are always animals eager for light.

But it's too hot here.

Zhang Yuan wiped his sweat and squinted to see the sun on the horizon. Everyone's clothes are as if they were fished out of the water.

In this place, the only advantage is to be able to eat the freshest vegetables, including some fruits that are not easy to keep fresh.

The sixth stop

It will take about half a year to make such a circle

……

In the twinkling of an eye, five years have passed.

Through the accumulation of wealth, Zhang Yuan has his own fleet. He has investigated the local conditions and customs of 206 human settlements and conducted more in-depth investigation.

The conditions in this world are too bad, the places with sunshine are too hot, and precipitation is particularly frequent, which makes it difficult for people to adapt to such hot and humid environment.

Remote areas without sunlight, too cold and poor food.

So small is the area where humans can live safely.

Jushi city is the most superior place to live, with convenient transportation and a large number of fish brought by the ocean current. But the more remote the area is and the lack of natural resources, the weaker it will be and the poorer it will be.

The vast majority of the world is the ocean, there is no large land. Many small islands were barely able to live after the industrial revolution.

However, it is just like this, there is no way to make progress.

"Human beings in this world will inevitably decline after coal is exhausted. Even if human beings will not be completely extinct, they will only survive in a few livable places, and there is no possibility of turning over. "

At present, the reserves of coal are still very large, which can support at least 400 years. Compared with the society whose average life expectancy is less than 35 years old, few people will worry about this.

The professors in the university are still very optimistic, because technology is still improving and theory is still developing. They think that many problems can be solved in the next 400 years.

However, Zhang Yuan, who has crossed over from other worlds, deeply knows the shortcomings of this world.

Through reference materials and personal practice, Zhang Yuan did not find any signs of oil, or that oil may be hidden in the seabed, with the current technical level, there is no possibility of development.

"Without oil, it would be very difficult to have a real second industrial revolution! Electricity alone is far from enough. "

"The four hundred year countdown to death has begun. No one knows the final result except me."

Even Zhang Yuan, it is difficult to drive the whole world by himself.

What industry needs is all-round progress. One can do too little. The industrial revolution requires a lot of supporting facilities. Zhang Yuan was able to get the starting motor and telegraph by force, but he could not get the rocket, satellite and even controllable nuclear fusion technology by himself. This is almost impossible!

What's more, the population here is too small.

The population of 100 million is distributed in more than 1000 islands, large and small. Most of them are illiterate, and there is no talent reserve for the second industrial revolution.Just a megalithic City, with a million people, is still too weak. This world, not Cherry Blossom world, has strong productivity. As long as he gives drawings, robots can produce parts. There are many things, even if there are drawings, they still can't.

So, what?

Only from another direction, an unknown road, Zhang Yuan sighed a long time, did not know his choice, in the end is right, or wrong, or just a waste of their time.

"Dong Dong Dong", someone is knocking at the door.

"Come in, please

In came a crowd of fanatical, ruddy professors.

One of the leaders said with a slightly trembling voice: "Your Excellency, we have just received a wireless telegram from malfat City, which introduces a local news!"

"Radiotelegraph It's a success

"The wireless telegraph succeeded!" There was a lot of loud noise and cheers in the room.

Everyone knows what this means. The successful development of wireless telegraphy means that the transmission of information no longer needs the primitive way of carrier pigeon. The speed of information transmission between cities will be the speed of light, and the connection will become closer!

An ocean going vessel equipped with a radio telegraph can send out a distress signal when necessary, even if it still keeps communication with land at sea.

Everyone with a little brain has seen the huge business opportunities.

From now on, every cargo ship will be equipped with a telegraph, and the communication between different cities will be realized by sending telegrams. These are real business opportunities!

This incident has shocked a large number of nobles in Jushi City, the inventor of wireless telegraph, Zhang Yuan Oh, by the way, his name in this world is count Steve Hoffman, and he has undoubtedly become a shining star in the city.

Zhang Yuan recovered from his thinking and said with a smile, "thank you for your hard work. Relevant cooperation and benefit distribution, I believe there will be a good plan! I hope you can attend the banquet in the evening! "

"Of course, how can the count's invitation not be attended?"

When it comes to money, everyone has become very positive. The young earl has always been known for his generosity. He even sponsored many research projects in the University and trained many navigators.

Although this big project will be shared by all kinds of nobles, even if it is just soup, it will be enough for them to be prosperous and prosperous for a lifetime!

Zhang Yuan sighed a little. He really didn't have much interest in making money. Most of his business was left to his sister. However, if you want to do something big, you can't do it without money, especially The next plan.

"Brother..." A head came out from behind the door. It was his sister Anna.

She said slightly uneasily, "do you really want to Looking for a new world? "
