Deep Space Planet Leader

Faced with Anna’s doubts, Zhang Yuan sighed. Using technical means to advance the entire world is indeed effective, but his efficiency alone is too slow.

It's too difficult to change the essence. Don't think that the appearance of the telegraph will allow humans to transition to the electrical age normally.

The land of this World, equivalent to only the Southeast Asian archipelago on Earth. Not looking for a new continent, just such a tiny bit of living space is an impossible breakthrough and the real upper bound of development.

He took an Earth instrument and explained to Anna: "This is our planet, the proven part, more than 95% is the ocean."

This Earth The ritual is divided into two halves, one half is light and the other half is dark.

Boulder City is located in the dark area of ​​the southern hemisphere, with a latitude of approximately 22.5 degrees south latitude.

"Humankind urgently needs more living space to be able to develop better. An area with light and suitable temperature can grow a lot of food and feed more people!"

"And the average temperature of this planet is too high, the place with light is too hot, and the place without light cannot grow plants. So...Where is such a suitable place to live?"

Zhang Yuan refers to the two ends of the Earth instrument. The first is the South Pole, and the second is the North Pole.

The temperature in the north and south poles is lower than that in the rest of the region, and there is a phenomenon of extreme daylight. After a series of calculations, the temperature should be able to reach about 0-5 degrees Celsius. People can live in this temperature.

If a new continent can be found in the light belt of the north and south poles, the state of human existence will undoubtedly undergo a huge change.

"Must go?" Anna didn't understand why she ran out to find a new continent in such a wealthy state of life. Even if she knew that her big brother was an ambitious person, it was still difficult for her to understand.

Moreover, Antarctica is too far away!

This World is not like Earth, where the continent with large tracts can be docked temporarily. Because the entire planet is locked by the tide, one end is hot and the other end is cold, and hot and cold convection often produces big storms and tsunamis.

The longer the voyage, the higher the probability of encountering a disaster.

Zhang Yuan laughed and did not answer.

...

The stars in the sky gradually disappear, and it is destined to be a dark night...

The mansion is full of people, and the burning gas lamp will be the whole mansion. Illuminate. Zhang Yuan is hospitable to more than 80 guests at home. Among them, a small half are scientists in the information industry, and some are celebrities, including some business giants with good personal relationships, plus some high-level government officials and so on.

They were eating, drinking, drinking, eating, happy laughter and cheerful voices, and at the same time they tried each other's business bottom line, the invisible smoke of gunpowder was already in the air.

Only one topic of the banquet-telegram! Even those playboy gossip and interesting stories, no one is going to talk about it. When some old fogey heard about such a miraculous thing, they showed suspicion.

The food on the table is very exquisite. It is made from high-level ingredients from all over the world. After the hands of the court chef, even some guests with a small appetite ate a lot.

Zhang Yuan stood at the front and introduced the specific working principles of the telegraph, including the economic growth that may be driven in the future and the expected profits.

"...To sum up, it is a more reliable signal transmission tool, and it is not limited by weather and routes."

In fact, these high-ranking nobles The principle of the telegraph is not cold. They don't understand the so-called transmitting antenna and Morse code. They are only interested in interests. Anyone with a normal head knows what kind of change this thing will bring!

This is a real upheaval!

Unparalleled benefits, a huge, visible cake, are all placed in front of my eyes.

The elderly Queen Your Majesty is reading this latest telegram. Her brows have become frowned and stretched. She has learned the authenticity of this news from the carrier pigeons she has returned.

In the past, it took 6 hours to communicate with another island using pigeons. Now, it takes less than half a second.

A new era has arrived, the old business will be eliminated, and the new industry will rise again.

However, all patents are held in Zhang Yuan's hands. Those scientists are able to get a little share of shares. It is not important. These smart people should be rewarded.

The equity in Zhang Yuan's hands is the bulk, which means how big the cake can be divided.

Just thinking about it, some nobles have held their breath, as if they saw a golden mountain that has not yet been discovered. A few Old Guys were thinking a little bit crookedly. They were wondering whether this youngster seemed to be unmarried, could they do a little essay and marry their daughter...

Zhang Yuan finally didn’t Said sensibly: "...Of course, a new industry will inevitably require all-round cooperation. Whether it is equipment or human resources, we need steel, copper, and engineers, whether it’s universities or steel smelting. Plants should be involved. On different islands, building signal receiving towers costs a lot of money, so our company is eager to seek more cooperation."

"Here, I announce a decision. "

For a while, there was a quiet terrifying in the room, everyone was waiting, Zhang Yuan's announcement.

"...I am willing to sell part of the equity in exchange for a chance to sail across the ocean!"

This announcement was unexpected!

After listening to Zhang Yuan's description of all the grand plans and great ambitions, many people invariably raised up a single thought-he was crazy!

Ocean-going sailing? Explore Antarctica? This is no longer the category of ambition, but... crazy!

Looking back, the black on the looked towards Earth means that a large number of areas have not been reclaimed or are in extreme danger. The old duke who has a little friendship with Zhang Yuan persuaded him: "Your Excellency, you still You are very young, and you have a bright future. Why do you want to do something where the risks are far greater than the benefits?"

His voice has become serious: "Only those down-and-out nobles who suffer from paranoia can do this. Do it!"

Another scientist also stood up, persuaded: "Yes, Lord Earl, in fact, this idea has existed a long time ago. One hundred years ago, someone explored Part of the Arctic. But in the end they got nothing, the captain went bankrupt and committed suicide on the way back... Lord Earl, why do you do this?"

He really admired Zhang Yuan’s talents. , Just said so.

"Oh! There is also a fleet that went to Antarctica, but they did not come back. Either there was a big storm, or there was a tsunami."

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

The big below Some people didn't know what to say, and they became agitated. Many people are eager to get more equity in Telegraph Company, and they are so happy because of Zhang Yuan's madness, but they can't show it on their faces, they can only stand up and pretend to be comforted.

But in the end there are several points of true feelings, which is an unknown number.

Some are admonishing, some are jealous, some are secretly excited, and some want Zhang Yuan to go mad and die in a shipwreck. Only a few are really worried about his personal health.

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