Chapter 171: The Imperial Capital Bright Project

The contract was signed very quickly, not only because of Dong Chen's name, but also because Dong Chen spent his points too happily, and nearly 10,000 points were spent.

In this way, Qingshuihekou Town, located at the mouth of the Qingshui River, soon belonged to Dong Chen, but Dong Chen directly renamed it "Shanghai Town".

The only territories that can be directly exchanged for the title of engineer are the "village" level and the "town" level, and the "city" level cannot be exchanged, so they can only develop by themselves, and slowly rise to the third-level small city, the second-level middle city and the first-class big city.

However, according to the current development model on the other side of the planet, the time for upgrading is quite long, and now it can be called the existence of a "city", and the time to establish it is not short.

Dong Chen didn't have time to take over Shanghai Town now, so he just asked the people of the Techno-God Cult to inform the mayor of Qingshui Hekou Town, this town already had an official lord, and it was also renamed Shanghai Town.

Although Dong Chen himself couldn't go, after all, there was still a task to be completed, but he still sent a letter to Xibei, asking her to send some people to Shanghai Town first...... Step on the spot, first observe a wave in secret.

A few months later, Dong Chen had to understand the situation in Shanghai Town as soon as he arrived in Shanghai Town, and he still wanted to collect comprehensive information about the situation by his own people.

After completing this matter, Dong Chen rarely went out, because he couldn't walk on the road.

It often snows in the snow season in the imperial capital, and the roads covered by heavy snow are extremely difficult to walk, and the "speed bumps" that used to be everywhere have been hidden by the heavy snow and become more hidden.

This is very unfriendly to bicycles and tricycles because they are too light, especially bicycles, which are very prone to falling heads.

And when the sun comes out, the temperature will rise somewhat, and the wheels will continue to roll over, and the frozen feces will thaw, and then mix with the melting snow and water, plus the mud on the road......

Anyway, the road of the imperial capital can no longer be looked at directly.

However, in the imperial capital, Dong Chen had already begun to prepare for what would happen in a few months, the first thing was to find the airship factory under the God of Science and Technology Sect to build an airship.

The airships of the Eastern Continent are not yet open to individuals to manufacture, after all, although there is a demand, they are not that big in general, so those who can make airships are all subordinate factories of the Sect of Science and Technology.

Don't think about hard airships, you can't buy them privately, you can only buy soft airships.

Dong Chen asked to build a 50-meter-long airship, but the pod should be large and high enough, at least so that the barbarians could ride as freely as humans without bending down or anything.

And if you don't use hydrogen, you use helium, hydrogen is too dangerous, don't worry.

For the customer's requirements, the factory naturally agreed, these requirements are not excessive, but this has to add money on the basis of the standard, and it has to wait, there are other customers' orders in front of it have not been completed, and the delivery will be at least four months later.

Of course, Dong Chen knew, and said that he could wait, he was not in a hurry now, and there was still time.

Regarding the design of this airship, Dong Chen did not have any major involvement, at most, he put forward some of his own opinions when the designers provided the design draft, and then gave the money.

This kind of large-scale, and high-tech invention, he still plans to wait until he arrives in Shanghai Town.

On the question of money, at the summary meeting at the end of the year, Jin Shanshan gave everyone a satisfactory answer.

Arc Bicycle Factory, which was the first to start making a profit, needless to say, what gramophone, mechanical casting, biogas lamp, biogas stove and so on factories were also established one by one, and then the Arc Chamber of Commerce was established.

Although the time to build the factory is relatively short, it will soon be the end of the year, and a lot of money has been spent, but it is still in time to produce and sell a batch before the meeting.

Coupled with the orders in their hands, as well as the deposits, as well as the previous sales profits, they can hold a lot of money in their hands.

From these things, it can be seen that although next year will definitely expand reproduction, it will definitely be a bumper year.

In particular, the revenue from the sale of phonographs and biogas lamps is simply more than that of bicycles.

The emperor is a nobleman, and there are a lot of rich people, not only those nobles who are poor in life but have a good face need a phonograph, but even those nobles who are not bad for money also need it.

Inviting an orchestra is not the same as using a phonograph.

Invite the orchestra, you can invite it for a day or two or a few weeks, you can't invite it every day, and you can't let people play in your bedroom, right?

Especially when you are in the evening, you want to have some romantic atmosphere with your wife and lover, a group of people standing by the bed to play music for you, watching you, what is the difference between that and some kind of filming scene.

Who can stand it, except for those who are professionally trained actors and those with special hobbies?

And with the gramophone, it was easy to solve.

It's just a little bad, that is, there are too few types of records that can be bought on the market, and they are all from Black Rock City, and the record merchants here in the imperial capital are still being formed, and there is no finished product yet.

The Arc Chamber of Commerce is now just a simple record dealer, and it is only in the Imperial Capital District, and the supply of goods comes from the Black Rock City Katyusha Record Chamber of Commerce.

For this matter, Jin Shanshan complained about Dong Chen for a long time, and the chatter in Dong Chen's ear every day was about to catch up with Tang Seng.

If an orchestra or singer wants to record a record, they can only make a trip to Blackrock, and although a gramophone can also record sound, if you want to perfectly reproduce the sound quality, you need professional equipment and methods.

Now Black Rock City is very famous in the upper circles of the imperial capital, and it is a magical place.

There are also biogas lamps, which are also in short supply, and the orders are almost piled up in two cabinets.

As an imperial capital, it must be different, first of all, the problem of light, that is, the problem of night lighting.

At first, they planned to replace all the street lights on the street with biogas lamps, but after calculating the location of the manure ponds in the city, they found that it was a big project, and it would take a lot of money and time to excavate the ground to fill the pipes, so the project was delayed.

Now they want to make the lighting of the imperial capital poop before the Chinese New Year...... In the big change, many important locations were selected, starting with the "point".

Connecting pipes from the nearest available digesters, and then replacing the oil lamps in these locations with biogas lamps, it was very difficult to dig the ground in winter, but even the king knew about it, and no matter how difficult it was, he had to do it.

However, some merchants and aristocrats were easy to do, just install the biogas lamp directly on the wall, and the pipe or something went directly from the outside.

Roadside businesses often hang biogas lamps above the main entrance of their shops to illuminate a large area of the street in front of them, which is like a white sun compared to the street lamps that use oil lamps next to them.

Of course, it is also very conspicuous compared to the shops next to it, and it often attracts many passers-by to come and see, which has also become a way to gather popularity. Therefore, many subversions are doing everything possible to install biogas lamps.

However, because biogas lamps emit a slight odor when using biogas, only some shops that do not require much taste will install one indoors, and most of them are still installed outdoors.

The same is true for those aristocrats, government departments, and wealthy families, where biogas lamps are installed directly outside the window, and light can shine in through the window, which not only ensures brightness, but also ensures that there is no smell.
