The next day was Saturday, so they didn't have to go to work, which just gave Dong Chen and them a time to adapt.

In the morning, the convoy that had returned to the Boulder tribe was full of goods, and it was time for them to move freely.

Yesterday, in fact, they had already turned around Black Rock City a little, after all, it took a long way to sell and buy things, especially when buying things, of course, different things have to be bought in different places.

In this way, Da Zhuang and the others were more familiar with Black Rock City than Dong Chen, because Dong Chen had only been in the academy for an afternoon.

You can take a good turn today.

They first went to the big square in the center of the city, which was indeed very prosperous, with sculptures, pools, pedestrians, luxury animal carts, various shops, etc., and even a small garden in the center of the square, which opened the eyes of the barbarians of the megalithic tribe who lived in the horror forest all year round.

The variety of styles, colors, and materials of clothes worn by people of all races alone is enough to dazzle them.

This made Dong Chen also see what is called culture shock, impacting their huge but young hearts.

If he hadn't been watching them, they might have spent all their money in exchange for a bunch of useless things.

After being scared a few times, Da Zhuang didn't dare to buy things indiscriminately, and practiced the stunt of "just looking at it and not buying", which made the old oilers who thought they could get a ticket itch.

But looking at the big guys, they gave up on the bold idea.

A single big guy is actually very easy to deceive, and a group of big guys is even easier to deceive, but when a human race is so shrewd, plus several super big guys who can fight at a glance, then it's not just anyone who can mess with it, and the slightest mistake can be beaten to death.

Especially this human race seems to be so smart, they are all extremely strong, and those barbarians still listen to him so much, they will do whatever they want, they must be a powerful person.

restrained the barbarians and restrained their desire to chop their hands, and Dong Chen also began to observe this square.

Unlike the barbarians, Dong Chen did not focus his attention on exquisite goods and delicious food.

Of course, he didn't focus his eyes on the elf lady who passed by.

His gaze is mainly on aspects that can see the development of civilization, such as travel.

After observation, he found that there were some problems with the travel situation here, and there were really no vehicles for single people to travel quickly, or there were no vehicles for civilians to travel alone.

Because the road is full of animal carts, rich people can get on one if they are in a hurry or unwilling to walk.

And if ordinary people don't have money or are reluctant to spend this money, if they can't happen to share a beast cart with a few people who pass by, then they can only run, Dong Chen and they can often see sweaty people running past them during the time they are shopping.

Some even carry baskets or food boxes, which is probably the first takeaway, which was there in ancient China, but I didn't expect it to be a steam age here or run to deliver food.

And Dong Chen also discovered that in addition to the really rich people who have their own special cars, they can use them whenever they want, and it is not very convenient for some middle-income people to "take a taxi", in addition to waiting, they may not be able to take a taxi, because there are not too many beast cars running, some people can sit on it, and some people can't.

Seeing another person running past him, Dong Chen muttered to himself in Chinese, "This is too much time, there are all trains, and there are no bicycles yet?" ”

"All means of transportation are a little backward, and they can't keep up with the development of the times, can I move the technology tree of transportation development a little bit forward?"

Da Zhuang didn't understand what Dong Chen was saying, but they shouldn't have let them buy anything, so they just watched and didn't buy it.

In the process of observing here, Dong Chen did find traces of the use of the steam engine, but it didn't seem to be popular, as if the train was in use, but every day there were still a large number of beast trucks carrying heavy goods out of the city gate and into the distance.

After a morning and a meal outside, Dong Chen finally took Da Zhuang and them to take a general look at the city, looked at some needed places, and then deduced the development stage here.

This Black Rock City is a square surrounded by walls, with four gates in four directions, the east and west gates are normal gates, while the south and north gates are a bit strange.

There is a river flowing outside the south gate, according to the people in the city, it flows to the sea, if Dong Chen guessed correctly, it should be the big estuary he saw when he landed on the mainland from his hometown island before.

The small river that flows next to the Boulder Tribe is its tributary.

Taking advantage of this, they built a canal in the city, allowing water from the river to enter the city from the south gate, which not only provided the city with water, but also became an important water transportation port for them.

As for the boats, the paddle boats are mainly at close range, and the sailboats are mainly at the long distance, and there are no boats using steam engines.

The North Gate is similar here, except that it is crossed by rail, and steam trains connect the imperial capital and several cities in the north by rail.

It shouldn't have been a long time since the railway was opened, it is estimated that it will only be a few years, and the predecessors of the barbarians in the past few years should have seen this thing for the first time, so they were so surprised.

An avenue runs through the east and west directions of the city, dividing the city into two halves, north and south, and there is a large square on the avenue in the center of the city, which divides the city into four parts with this central point.

The Higher Mechanical Institute is located on the southwestern part of the city, next to Center Avenue and not far from Center Square.

And Dong Chen also saw the mysterious Black Rock City Science and Technology God Cult Branch, the equilateral triangle center dot sign on the wall was particularly conspicuous, it was located in the northeast part of Black Rock City, next to the avenue and square.

It can be said to be the tallest building in Blackstone City, reaching nine floors, and it covers a large area, which is larger and taller than the city lord's mansion and office next to it.

From this alone, you can know the strength of the Cult of Techno.

However, looking at the tall barbarians in metal armor outside its door, Dong Chen did not approach, but pulled the barbarians of the Boulder Tribe, who were all envious, and left.

I took a turn back to the Chamber of Commerce quarters, which was very close to the train station, and this area was a cargo distribution center, all in the northwest direction of Blackstone City.

Because heavy animal carts were not allowed to enter the center of the city, many of the goods were gathered here, either shipped to various parts of the city or loaded onto trains to be transported to distant places.

Similarly, the train station does not have access to the inner ring of the city, so it is located in the same place.

Dong Chen also found that there were two iron towers not far from the train station that were higher than the city wall, and only after asking the people nearby did he know that they were actually the docking platform of the airship.

From this point of view, the world's long-distance transportation equipment is still a bit interesting, but it seems that it has not yet been fully developed, and there are still a lot of things to be dug up.

In addition, the overall level of development here is roughly equivalent to the period when the Earth is about to undergo the first scientific and technological revolution.

That is, the period when steam power began to be used, but it has not yet officially exploded.

Coupled with the residual influence of "scientists" and the short development time of more than 2,000 years from scratch, the development of the other side of the planet is somewhat uneven, and the foundation for the great development of science and technology is already there, but there are still some deficiencies or obstacles.

Anyway, in Dong Chen's opinion, this place is simply a "vast world" for him, and he can "make a big difference".

Ahem, of course, it's not too late to figure out the actual situation before taking action.
