In May 103, the harbor's huge floating gate unfolded, a fleet of ships emerged from the port one after another.

The warship that Zhouyou was riding in had a smooth shell like a beetle. This whole piece had no gaps in the material, just like the skin of a living creature. This texture could not be processed in any large ship in the 21st century. Even nuclear submarines were also welded patterns.

The warship is 170 meters long, the side width is 34 meters. It has a main skeleton inside, supported by multiple ribs, and a displacement of 12,000 tons.

In general, this exceeds the construction level of large ships in this world. The world's thousand-ton hydraulic press can only build original steamships below 3,000 tons.

Because it cannot produce a keel structure with sufficient strength. As for the large axles that drive the propeller, they cannot even process the axles of a thousand-ton. Large marine steam turbines are unstable, not to mention the gas turbines with higher technical difficulties. Nowadays, merchant ships at sea use the paddle wheels of the steam engine with expansion piston structure. The pure technical level may be at the level of 1870.

Therefore, the Gu insects that can create such large seaborne carriers in the Gu nest have formed a monopoly.

At present, there is no possibility of transcending other forces. To carry out the industrialization of the Second Industrial Revolution, we must have the ability to organize four million people to work together. The legal system of feudal society has no possibility of such a consultative organization.

The large warship that Zhouyou is currently located is the product of the Golden Beetle family. After years of trade exchange, there were only 47 ships, which were the main battleships of the Lie Locust family. The Lie Locust family’s own silkworm-level biological warships are only 3,000 tons.

Now the entire warship is completely closed.

The opaque part of the shell in front of the Golden Beetle warship was opened, revealing the waveproof glass inside. Behind the glass is the fleet cabin.

Zhou You sat in the command cabin, and in front of him was a glass cover. The base of the glass cover was connected to the nerve center of the biological warship, and inside the glass cover was a female symbiotic. Although there was no braid, the upper body was a chitin structure in the link state, and normal people would not have any ideas.

The controller of this biological warship usually huddles in the brain of the biological warship. When the boarder arrives, he will stick out from here and talk to the visitor through the glass cover.

Her name is Xuexu, a maid from the Lie Locust family. She has been taught a series of things on the sea since she was a child.

During the conversation, Zhou You also knew that there were many maids training with her.

She was selected because she was particularly outstanding. She was very happy because after being selected, her younger brother and other family members were also selected as close attendants in the Lie Locust family. However, when talking about herself, Xuexu said that she likes to play chess, read newspapers, and chat like today.

The girl's voice was very lively, but the more human nature was revealed in the conversation, the more uncomfortable Zhou You felt.

...

In August, with the two warm fronts of the north and south equatorial flow, and the warm water on the surface of the ocean brought by the trade winds, it gathers into a gully stream in the sea of ​​南, and large groups of prawns migrate to the shallow sea, and dense spikes appear and disappear in the waves.

Zhou You and the fleet where the Linlong Dragon Gu Nest are located come to Xiahong Island.

This is an island with a total area of ​​170,000 square kilometers. As a crossroads on the sea, it is an important strategic impulse.

There are two cities on the island, east and west, belonging to the Flying Locust Family and the Floating Family.

The spheres of influence of the two sides intertwined, competed with each other on the islands, and low-intensity battles often occurred. As the ruler of the empire, the Golden Beetle Royal Family obviously agreed to this situation. As long as it did not affect the port area of ​​the two cities and the waterways, the royal family would not stand up to mediate the conflicts between the two families.

The Fierce Locust fleet entered the harbor in the form of a victorious. The thick armor layer on the battleship and the large number of rapid-fire turrets on the hull extended out of the port window, neatly ejecting the cannon flames, declaring the power of the glorious wings to appear.

Since the mainstream of this world is biological warships, humans here will not design warships themselves at all. Therefore, the classic arrangement of the central axis of the turret was not explored. In fact, they could not process the bearings of the rotating turrets of hundreds of tons.

But this is not as simple as the arrangement of side turrets like the Earth.

Below the dome deck, there is a structure similar to the spine of the room, and the rapid-fire gun is on the ridge of the room. When the spine tilts to the left, the group of guns extends to the port window; of course, it can also be tilted to the right, and a row of gun barrels extend out of the right window.

Just like the sail of an animal, it sways left and right. So from a tactical perspective, this is also a horizontal line against the enemy and forming a battle line. Therefore, according to the definition of the sail era, it can still be called a battleship.

On the pier, local civil servants of the Xinfeng City were wearing gorgeous dresses, rubbed oil sweat on their heads, and welcomed the Grand Commander of the Zhouyou to Xinfeng City with signs.

The stable production of Gu in batches of steel frames, as well as a series of lathes controlled by the insects, were unloaded from the port dock. The arrival of these heavy machinery of the giant insect wind brought a signal of "injection of power" to the entire city. The dock was filled with warm welcome.

When Zhou You came down from the command tower, the Civil Affairs Officer, whose face was covered with a lot of powder, greeted him with a flattering smile and asked the twenty-four female servants to present a gift to Mr. Zhou You. Well, Mr. Zhou You didn't like this, so the female servants retreated. Under Zhou You's order, the Civil Affairs Officer took out the map of the entire island and household registration information.

This household registration information ignores the civilians, with only 6,000 people on it. As for the map of the entire island, it was also the map of the administrative officer who was interested in exploring thirty years ago. Now many road conditions have changed. Lord Zhouyou frowned and was obviously quite dissatisfied. This time, he was not so successful in flattering the new governor.

...

The universe travels open in the field, and the perspective goes beyond the chaotic crowd, "scanning" the dilapidated streets outside the city port area.

In fact, as soon as I arrived at this city, I could see that the entire city was a maritime transit station, mainly based on some knitted handicrafts.

Such an economic structure, even its government is not a normal government. Although the civil affairs officer who nodded and bowed to him, although he was a disciple of the Lie Locust family, he is now the spokesperson of the local forces. So, the gifts on the famous post are very rich.

Zhou You sighed and said to himself: "Now, there is no need to make trouble with you in these aspects."

The core gain of Zhou You’s twenty years of education in Zhongsheng Civilization is that time is precious, and when you can do things, don’t be too slow in other aspects.

As soon as we arrived, communication with local nobles is sometimes necessary. But after achieving our goal, don't stumble there.

Now I have war insects, means of production, and financial support from external support. There is no need to discuss with local local snakes.

What we need to do next is to build advanced rule that conforms to this social foundation.

After the age of twelve, Zhongsheng Civilization has a series of social education, teaching personnel management, profit distribution, rewards and punishments of the ruling class.

Zhou You greeted the civil affairs officer: "Oh, within five days, I will sort out all the information of craftsmen in the city, remember, all, bricklayers, crafters, blacksmiths, pot repairers, sculptors, etc.."

The civil affairs officer nodded and agreed.

Speaking of this, Zhou You raised his hand and bid: "If I investigated the 90% of the population list of the entire region, I would pay 6,000 gold coins."

The civil affairs officer was stunned for a moment and didn't wait for him to pat his chest to do it.

Zhou You then emphasized: "If the list is detailed, the age of the industry, or even the expansion, which apprentices can be summoned. Each person's archives can be increased in terms of completeness, and the reward can be increased from ten to fifty copper coins."

Civil Affairs Officer: "Sir, please let it go--"

Zhou You mastered the rhythm and did not give him a chance to speak. He further ordered in detail: "You will find all your people who can investigate for me. I will tell them myself and set the work process and standards. I will open a large number of industrial facilities soon. Your urban management must be expanded and professionalized. You are ready!"

The last sentence is half encouragement and half warning. If any group expands, the power at the top of the power will also be expanded, but at the same time, it will also face pressure from below.

This is also a versatile person. After a while of a daze, he quickly said, "I won't drag you down the adults-"

Zhou You interrupted him and continued to flatter him, and ordered: "Take all clerks to my office before ten o'clock and hold a meeting. I will draft a charter for you, and you can do it according to the rules in the future. I will not assign you unfinished tasks."

Zhou You gave this fat civil affairs officer the feeling that he felt was not as good as he could describe it as capable.

Generally, capable lords will issue a large number of orders to review the work progress of the people below, but the lord's perspective will never come below.

As for Zhouyou, this attitude requires direct connection with the work of the people below, and even understanding the work situation of each person, and establishing a reward and punishment mechanism based on the situation - this is simply fierce!

The civil servant began to follow Zhouyou consciously and asked carefully: "Governor General, are you going to deal with them in the east?"

Zhou You: "Hmm?" He looked at this person who was not just flattering and said to him, "Is it because I am going to build a new home with Huangchi City? "

The fat man smiled embarrassedly and replied, "Sir, you are ignorant, ignorant."

...

The Floating Mica Family, a family with a level seven Gu nest, is an important family that balances the power of the Rag Wing in the north of the Golden Beetle Empire.

The signature army, the airboat, usually has a large amount of hydrogen inside, but it can be catalyzed within a few dozen seconds to merge the internal hydrogen and organic matter into liquid state, while the whole body changes from a fat man to a slender state, and then shakes the wings with a wingspan of 20 meters, fly over the hostile target at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour, and throws bombs.

Land troops are four-legged war insects (interstellar hunter model).

As for why it is despised as the tentacle head by the Huangbi family? Because after the insect is transformed, not only will the hair be covered with tentacles like Medusa, but tentacles will also appear on both shoulder blades behind it. In order to beautify the image, people from the floating Mica family usually wear a tall metal helmet and a pair of metal wings will be installed on the back.

Of course, in the mouth of the floating Mica family, the members of the feather-winged locust family also have a derogatory name, - a barbble mouth.

The despicable title is not about being rude, but about cursing the other party’s most taboo thing.

...

Three days after Zhouyou went to the island, Yunkong City in the east also actively communicated with Zhouyou.

It's just this kind of communication-

In the Governor's Mansion, Zhou You looked at the performance on the screen quietly with a boring "approval" expression.

The dress of the young man in the Floating Family is very big angel, and his silver wings look very radiant, which must have cost a lot of money. The helmet that curved backwards, perhaps with the center of gravity behind, made the man keep tilting his head and almost facing the screen with his nostrils. However, from his tone of conversation, there seems to be no humility. He said bluntly to Zhou You, "It is a mistake to come here with a defective war Gu. You should understand your position well and don't make a mistake in one step."

With such "consider care" from the other party's perspective, Zhou You nodded in his heart: "This way of communication is indeed because the tentacles on his head are too long, which affects brain development."

Zhou You tucked his finger, nodded with a smile, claiming that he understood and knew, and then ended the conversation in a very "pleasure" between the two sides.

After the communication was over, we were on the side of the floating family.

The young man smeared his thumb and took the towel handed over by the maid on the side, and said contemptuously while wiping his hands and saying, "Coward." He seemed to be happy for his easy handling of the "New Governor of the Fierce Locusts". Then he hugged the maid and carried it-

The young man's mentality is quite like a primary school student who is playing wildly after finishing his homework.

Such a temperament is obviously not suitable for power. But who can successfully contract with high-level war insects?

...

On the other side of Zhouyou, his legs were raised on the table, leaning against the chair on the back, looking at the newly drawn island map on the wall, and calculated for five minutes. He suddenly stood up and took Feng Xing to the front of the map.

The light cone of the matrix burns straight lines on the paper.

New roads, new docks, factory facilities in the downwind, schools, workers' dormitories, water sources in the upperwind, urban dams on the left, three subway tunnels run through the industrial area...

After completing the above-mentioned industrial zone planning, Zhou You slapped the map and nodded with satisfaction. However, a few seconds later, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes and he muttered: "What name should be given?"

To name this thing, it must be catchy and has cultural influence.

Zhou You looked at the window, and the carriages pulled by groups of insects coming and going, and took a deep breath to confirm that the world was dragged in an alternative direction by the insects. The upper ruling class relied on foreign insect species to maintain its rule. The steam revolution and the electric revolution all stopped. Dragging this world back requires a surging momentum. Human beings must once again enter the path of creating tools with their own hands.

The wheel dragged by the bug was crushed onto a stone, making a "clang" sound, as if announcing that 'This world will re-seek the power to drive the wheel'.
