Chapter 2147 Alternative Qizhou Island 2

"How much do you know, and how far has the human world's technology advanced?" Edward asked cautiously.

"I can't explain it to you at the moment. All you need to know is that we have been able to build spacecraft to fly out of the planet and into outer space," Liang Yong said proudly.

"What, we can really build a spacecraft that can fly out of the planet. I have long known that the Fairyland Continent is a huge sphere, but I can't fly out from here yet. If I want to leave, I can only go through the ancient portal. It turns out that I can really fly across it with physical strength. Get out," Edward was completely shocked and had more questions.

Liang Yong answered nonchalantly for a while, but he was tormented by him and became impatient. He shook his head and said: "You can't understand even if you talk too much. It's better to go back to Edison College and let me see your scientific achievements in person, and then I will slowly teach you The explanation is really stupid,"

Okay, now it's the other way around. The teacher has to ask the students for knowledge. When did he become so imbecile?

They had not been traveling on the prairie for long when they saw a road. Although it was only four or five meters wide and had a gravel road, it was already the best rural road Liang Yong had seen in the fairy world, and there were still people going there. Now everyone no longer has to walk strenuously. Edward summoned several carriages and pulled a group of people straight to Edison College. It can be seen that his status is very high in the hearts of the locals. Adults and children all call him Grandpa Edward. , offering him the best carriages and equipment without asking him.

He also did not allow Liang Yong to ride in a carriage with Gu Xiaoqi, and pulled Liang Yong to ride in the same carriage with him, so that he could ask Liang Yong for advice.

Along the way, Liang Yong also had a general understanding of Qizhou Island. Qizhou Island has a radius of 2,000 kilometers and an area of ​​more than 4 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to half the size of Australia. There are not many residents, with only a mere 10 million people. And most of them are concentrated near Edison College, which is located in the south of Qizhou Island and faces the sea, facing the vast ocean and facing away from the Fairyland Continent.

Large areas of fertile land have been cultivated on the low-lying plains, where various grains are grown. Liang Yong has seen these fields and the farming methods of the residents. Various water conservancy facilities are complete. Although animals are still used as the main force for farming, the tools used have changed. It is very close to modern times and is equivalent to the level of modern human society.

On the edge of a large river, Liang Yong also saw a giant waterwheel used to drive the textile equipment in the factory next to it to produce high-grade silk. There were various smelting factories along the river, which were also driven by water power. Machinery, when Edward introduced these, he proudly said that this is the latest technology here and has achieved automated production.

In Liang Yong's opinion, it was the industrial level of the 18th century. He casually introduced steam locomotives and internal combustion engines to him, and Edward was immediately shocked. With his knowledge, he could fully imagine the huge role that steam engines and internal combustion engines played in industrial production. effect.

However, there is something that makes Liang Yong satisfied and even surprised. Edward's factory has been able to smelt high-grade metals, which is the basis of modern industry. With high-standard metal materials and his own theoretical knowledge, many Machines that could not be made before can be manufactured, and his plan to build a galactic battleship will be greatly advanced. You must know that what troubles him and Xiao Yanzi the most now is the smelting of high-grade metals. Those that are particularly difficult to produce in the small universe, after all, there is gravity. Not enough. If you want to make metal that can be used in the fairy world, you need a machine tool that is enlarged 10,000 times, which is too difficult.

But now Edward's factory can be used for production, and the efficiency will increase exponentially. In the end, Liang Yong was too lazy to hide it from Edward anymore, and released Xiao Yanzi, and the three of them studied the construction of the new factory together.

When he arrived at Edison College, Liang Yong had another bigger surprise. It turned out that this city was named after Edison. It was a city built by the sea. It already had the foundation of a modern city, with wide and smooth roads and complete drainage and sewage facilities. There are many shops along the street, and factories are located around the city. The developed transportation allows the factory's goods to be quickly sent to the market for sale. It can also be shipped from the dock to various areas of Qizhou Island for sale at a cheaper transportation cost. At the same time, Raw materials and products from various places pass through waterways, and land routes also gather here.

Located next to the city's central square is Edison College. It can no longer be called a college, but should be called a city hall. Officials at all levels appointed by Edward work here, and real educational facilities have penetrated into various communities, in places called churches. Classes are held for children, imparting knowledge of various subjects, but there is no strict classification. All students, both young and old, study in the same place. The study time is not long every day, only half a day. The rest of the time, the children have to go home. Work.

There are also large areas of public real estate around the city hall, but they are the major research institutes managed by Edward himself. Inside, the ten most knowledgeable scientists on Qizhou Island live, and they are responsible for research work in ten disciplines respectively. Became ten students of Edison College.

For Han Fei and Fan Jinbao, Qizhou Island and Edison College are too far away. No one from the mainland has visited Qizhou Island for tens of thousands of years. The only people who know about this place are those who accidentally ran into Qizhou Island while avoiding typhoons at sea. They were brought back by fishermen. Those people had limited knowledge and were deliberately led in the wrong direction by Edward. Therefore, what they saw was only the declining scene of Qizhou Island, and they did not see the most real side.

After all, everything developed here completely deviates from the teachings of the Immortal Continent. Under Edward's many years of management, it has transitioned from a feudal society to an open society. This is simply unacceptable to the descendants of the kind gods in the Holy Religion. In their view, , only the most feudal rule can be implemented on the continent to make human beings' faith unshakable and forever loyal to the good God. Behavior like Edward's is already a pagan and must be eradicated.

However, because of Edward's special relationship with someone in the Holy Church, Edward and his Qizhou Island have special privileges. In addition, as it is far away from the sea, the Holy Church's monitoring of the island has not been strict, allowing Edward to develop privately. space.

This is a paradise in the fairy world, and it is of even greater significance to Liang Yong. Taking advantage of the complete industrial base here and the nearly one million skilled industrial workers, many of his ideas can be put into action, and it will not take long for him to create various products. Such cutting-edge equipment, although the Galaxy Battleship cannot be built for the time being, it is not difficult to build a radio station to communicate with the Hongluan.
