The third stop is "Gernli", a small and remote city that produces a kind of "snake girl", that is, female slaves. Due to the remote location, humans here do not survive well. If the population is too large, there is a possibility of starvation to death. So local people like to sell their daughters and sons. Although this kind of thing is inhuman, it also has its specific reasons.

This station is very popular with sailors. The long voyage can suffocate these male animals. They can't wait to vent their desires and spend the money they pay. It's polished. Only a few who have seen the world and read books will choose to save their money.

Zhang Yuan can only sigh lowly. There are very few things a person can do.

Life is always full of helplessness. Knowing this is completely different from seeing it with your own eyes.

Working in the direction of technology and developing science can indeed promote the entire world.

But for him, it is still not enough.

From the first industrial revolution to the second industrial revolution, it was mainly the use of electricity and internal combustion engines. Zhang Yuan can generate electricity, but it is very difficult to apply it on a large scale, and it takes a huge amount of time.

For a simple example, the large-scale application of electricity requires a serious power grid. State Grid, how big is the project? How many qualified power engineers are needed and how much metal is smelted? He is impossible to do it alone.

Even if electricity is available, various electrical appliances and furniture have to be invented. There are many electrical appliances. He only knows the principle, but still does not know a lot of details. It needs to be calculated temporarily. The amount of work in this part is a People can’t do it...

...

The fourth stop of the entire voyage is "Albabili", an originally impoverished place, but a gem was found in this place , So a large number of gold prospectors formed this city.

Fifth station, already close to the western twilight zone, in the sky there was a lot of sunshine, and the air became more and more hot...

All the crew members cheered loudly. Sunshine, mankind is always an animal longing for light.

However, it is too hot here.

Zhang Yuan wiped the sweat off his body, squinted his eyes, and witnessed the sun on the horizon. The clothes on everyone are as if they were fished out of the water.

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

Sixth stop...

It takes about half a year to go around in this circle...

...

In a blink of an eye , Five years have passed.

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

The conditions in this World are too bad. The sunny place is too hot, and the precipitation is extremely frequent, making it difficult for people to adapt to such a hot and humid environment.

Remote areas without sunlight, too cold, and poor food.

So that the area where humans can live safely is very small.

Boulder City can be regarded as the most advantageous place to live, with convenient transportation and a large number of fish brought by ocean currents around it. But the more remote areas lack natural resources, the weaker and poorer they are.

The overwhelming majority of the world is the ocean again, without large tracts of land. There are many small islands that were barely able to live until after the industrial revolution.

However, it is just that, there is no way to improve.

"The humans of this World will inevitably decline after the coal is exhausted. Even if humans will not be completely extinct, they will only be struggling on whilst at death's door. , There is no possibility of turning over again."

Currently, the coal reserves are still large, which can support at least four hundred years. Compared with this society where the per capita lifespan is less than 35 years old, few people will Worry about this.

The professors in the university are still very optimistic, because the technology is still advancing and the theory is still developing. They think that in the next four hundred years, many problems will always be solved.

However, Zhang Yuan, who has traveled from the other world, deeply understands the shortcomings of this world.

Through reference materials and personal practice, Zhang Yuan did not find any signs of oil, in other words, oil may be hidden in the seabed. With the current technical level, there is no possibility of development at all.

"Without oil, it would be difficult to give birth to a true second industrial revolution! Electricity alone is far from enough."

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

Even Zhang Yuan, it is difficult to drive the entire world by the strength of oneself.

Industry needs all-round progress, and one person can do too little. The industrial revolution requires a lot of supporting facilities. Zhang Yuan was able to forcibly make a Generator and make a telegraph, but it is impossible alone to make rockets, satellites, and even controllable nuclear fusion technology. This is almost a fantasy story!

even more how, the high-quality population here is really too small.

100 million people are distributed in more than one thousand large and small islands. The overwhelming majority are illiterate, and there is no talent pool required for the second industrial revolution.

Single Boulder City, with a population of one million, is still too weak. This World is not the cherry blossom world. It has strong productivity. As long as it gives a blueprint, the robot can produce parts. There are many things, even if there is a blueprint, it still won’t work.

So, what should I do?

Only from another direction, an unknown road, Zhang Yuan sighed for a long time, not knowing whether his choice was right or wrong, or just wasting his time .

"dong dong dong", someone is knocking on the door.

"Please come in!"

A large group of enthusiastic and ruddy professors walked in.

The headed one said with a little trembling voice: "Master Earl, we just received the Wireless Electronics newspaper from Malfa City, which introduced a local news!"

"The Wireless Electronics report... succeeded!"

"The Wireless Electronics report succeeded!" There was a loud noise and cheers in the room.

Everyone knows what this means. The successful development of the Wireless Electronics report means that the dissemination of information no longer requires the primordial method of carrier pigeons. The speed of information transmission between cities will be the speed of light, and the connection will become closer!

Ocean-going vessels equipped with Wireless Electronics Telegraph, even if they are still in communication with land on the ocean, can also send out distress signals when needed.

Everyone with a nodded brain has seen a huge business opportunity.

From now on, every cargo ship will be equipped with a Telegraph, and the communication between different cities will be realized by sending telegrams. This is a real business opportunity!

This incident has alarmed a large number of nobles in Boulder, Zhang Yuan, the inventor of the Wireless Electronics newspaper...Oh, yes, his title of this World is Count Steve Hoffman, He has undoubtedly become a shining star in the city.

Zhang Yuan recovered from his thoughts and said with a smile: "Thank you, thank you for your hard work. I believe there will be a good plan for related cooperation and benefit distribution! For the evening banquet, I hope everyone can Participate!"

"Of course, Lord Earl’s invitation, how could you not participate?"

Everyone left with a fanatical expression. When it comes to money, everyone Become very positive. The young earl has always been known for his generosity, and even sponsored many research projects in the university and trained many navigators.

Although this big project will be shared by various nobles, even if it is just soup, it will be enough for their high position and great wealth for a lifetime!

Zhang Yuan is lightly sighed. He really doesn't have much interest in the issue of making money. Most of the affairs are left to the younger sister. However, if you want to host a major event, it is absolutely impossible to have no money, especially... the next plan.

"big brother..." A head poked out from behind the door, it was his younger sister Anna.

She said a little disturbed: "Do you really want to...find a new continent?"
