Chapter 446

Facing Anna's doubts, Zhang Yuan sighed. It's really effective to use technology to promote the whole world, but his efficiency is too slow.

It's too difficult to change the essence. Don't think that the appearance of telegraph can make human beings transition to the electrical age.

The land of the world is equivalent to the Southeast Asia archipelago on the earth. It is impossible to break through the real upper development boundary without looking for a new continent and just a little living space.

He took a globe and explained to Anna, "this is our planet. More than 95% of the known parts are oceans."

The globe is divided into two parts, half bright and half dark.

Stonehenge is located in the dark zone of the southern hemisphere, latitude is about 22.5 degrees south latitude.

"Human beings urgently need more living space in order to develop better. A region with light and suitable temperature can grow a lot of food and feed more people!"

"The average temperature of this planet is too high, the places with light are too hot, and the places without light can't grow plants. So Where is such a suitable place to live? "

Zhang Yuan pointed to the two ends of the globe. Finally, Zhang Yuan said without a sound Of course, a new industry is bound to need all-round cooperation. In terms of equipment and human resources, we need steel, copper and engineers. Universities and steel smelters should be involved. It costs a lot to build a signal receiving tower on different islands, so our company is eager to seek more cooperation. "

"Here, I announce a decision."

For a moment and a half, the room was so quiet that everyone was waiting for Zhang Yuan's announcement.

“…… I'm willing to sell part of my stock right in exchange for an opportunity of ocean voyage! "

This announcement is unexpected!

After listening to Zhang Yuan's description of all his great plans, many people have the same idea that he is crazy!

Ocean voyage? Exploring the South Pole? It's not ambition anymore, it's Crazy!

Looking back at the black on the globe, it means a large number of uncultivated or extremely dangerous areas. The old Baron, who has a little friendship with Zhang Yuan, persuades him: "count, you are still very young and have a bright future. Why do you want to do such a thing that the risk is far greater than the benefit?"

His voice has become serious: "only those despondent aristocrats with paranoia will do so!"

Another scientist also stood up and said, "yes, count. In fact, this idea has been around for a long time. A hundred years ago, people explored parts of the Arctic. But they got nothing in the end. The captain went bankrupt and committed suicide on his way back My Lord, why do you do that? "

He said so because he really admired Zhang Yuan's talent.

"Oh! There's another fleet that went to the south pole, but they didn't come back. Or a big storm, or a tsunami. "

"Even if you find some islands in Antarctica, it doesn't make any sense! It's so remote that no one wants to settle there unless you can find a whole continent! But the probability is very small

Most of the people below didn't know what to say, and they were in a commotion. Many people are eager to get more shares in the telegraph company. They are so happy because of Zhang Yuan's madness, but they can't show their faces. They can only stand up one by one and pretend to comfort each other.

But in the end, there is some real meaning, is an unknown.

There are admonishments, jealousies, secret excitement, and those who want Zhang Yuan to die in a shipwreck. Only a few of them are really worried about his health.

Zhang Yuan gently shook his head, this is, the real human beings.
