After reading these newspapers, Jing Yu collapsed on the seat and stared at the ceiling without saying a word. If it weren't for the ups and downs of his breath, he would be like he was dead. On the surface, he was panic, nervousness and excitement deep in his heart.

Although there are many sentences in the newspaper that are different from those in English that I am familiar with, and the grammar is a little strange, Jing Yu basically does not have any dyslexia. Just like a modern educated Chinese reading vernacular novels a hundred or two years ago, it is just a bit awkward in some sentences, but it will never be difficult to understand.

However, the world described in these newspapers is similar and different from the history that Jing Yu knows. It seems that the whole world turned a corner at a certain point in time and did not enter the historical trajectory that Jing Yu is familiar with.

There is a queen in Britain now, but in all newspapers, the words "queen                                                                                                                      

The name of China and even the word Asia has been searching through all newspaper pages, but he has never seen it. Has the sea route to Asia not been opened at this time? He thought, but soon noticed that the New World, which refers to the United States, shows that the Age of Discovery existed, and the newspaper was full of compassion for the British Navy to defeat the Iberians and the Gauls.

The most important thing is that the dates in the newspaper are shown in 1868, and the national and political situation mentioned do not seem to be the same as Jing Yu’s knowledge of this nineteenth century. At least the description of the American continent shows that there are the Republic of Texas and the Republic of California. Jing Yu knows that there are indeed these two countries in American history, but they were soon incorporated into the United States. However, in this news, the Republic of Texas was fighting against Mexico, and theirs also sent a general to Britain to seek support.

According to the background of the war between the Republic of Texas and Mexico in the newspaper, Jing Yu learned that America is now called the New World, and that vast area of ​​Canada in the north has no country yet, but continues to be a British colony.

There are four independent regimes near the south in the United States: the United States of America, the Confederate states of America, the Republic of Texas, the Republic of California, and the Republic of California, which also includes a large tract of territories belonging to other countries or underdeveloped (the central and northern regions).

Jing Yu didn't know that there was no American Revolutionary War in this world, or that the American Revolutionary War won the South. Anyway, the United States has existed in a big way and continues to use slaves to grow cotton in the manor. The Republic of Texas, the Lone Star Republic, which had disappeared in the 1840s, still survived, and even the Republic of California was not still alive.

After reading these newspapers over and over, it was confirmed through relevant information that Jing Yu felt that the possibility of the Civil War in the United States was higher, but what happened elsewhere?

As for the Qing Dynasty in this era, there was no news in the newspapers, and even India did not appear, which is very strange. You should know that India, as the most important colony of Britain, cannot be mentioned in the 19th century newspapers.

However, Britain had already begun to colonize at this time. Compared with its own history, it felt that it was the thriving Victorian era in Great Britain, an era when Britain was about to become an "Empire of the Sun".

I don’t know if the Crimean War broke out, at least there was no news about Tsarist Russia in the newspaper.

There are several stories of explorers in the later section, but it is not the famous British explorers in Jing Yu who are familiar with his own world, such as Livingston and Spike, but other explorers. The newspaper describes their stories a few months ago, such as adventures in the New World, the natives of the Pacific Islands, etc.

As for other news, most of them are social news in London or Britain, such as differences between parties in the government, the spring-legged Jack in London, etc., Jing Yu is not very concerned about it.

Faced with this 19th century, which had already made huge differences, Jing Yu's only thinking was "how to go back" and go back to his familiar and warm world, but before finding the way home, it is more important to survive in this world first.

The living expenses in the hotel are not very high, but they are not suitable for Jing Yu. After all, he has some special secrets, and it is very inconvenient for people to come and go here.

So I naturally thought of finding a safe and comfortable place to stay, and then fully investigate the world and determine my future development.

After all, Jing Yu found that both mobile phones and laptops were a bit shameful and needed a safe location to use properly.

However, these are not the most urgent problems. The most urgent problem is that many of its equipment require electricity, and electricity does not seem to exist in this world.

He read the newspapers carefully and confirmed that the word "electricity" was not mentioned.

Then he pulled the bell rope in the room, and soon a question sounded outside the door: "Sir, what are your instructions?"

"Come in."

"Okay, sir?" After the servant who helped him buy newspapers pushed the door and waited respectfully on the side.

"I have some questions to ask you?" Jing Yu said, "If you can satisfy me, I will reward you with a few."

Conan Doyle's novel mentions using children from London to inquire about news, so Jing Yu followed suit.

"Yes, sir, what do you want to know?" the servant asked nervously, unable to hide. The strange gentleman looked very generous, and he didn't want a Faxin to slip away from him.

"Very good," Jing Yu nodded, "Then my question is, do you know where to buy a voltaic battery or generator?" he asked expectantly.

"Sorry, sir." The servant was very confused. He racked his brains to recall, but there was no result. "I have never heard of these things. What are they?"

"I'm talking about batteries," Jing Yu said, then looked at the other party's confused look and continued to explain: "Have you heard of 'electricity'? Or 'generator', 'telecom', 'battery'?"

Every time he said a word, the other party would shake his head, which made Jing Yu feel a little uneasy.

However, Jing Yu still explained to him, "It's just something similar to lightning." These words are spelled completely differently in English.

"The stars are above, I have seen lightning, but sir." The servant tried hard to recall with his head, and finally said in frustration: "I really don't know the other things you said."

"Okay", Jing Yu thought about it, this era should not be without this information. He confirmed that the world in the newspaper was in the 1860s. It is logical that early wired telegraphs and generators had been invented, and earlier voltaic batteries were also available.
