Chapter 13: The Age of the Sea

"Science and technology are the primary productive forces? This sentence seems to make a lot of sense, but it is the great man who said it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWhy don't I have any impression at all, is it ......" Hearing Zheng Shuanglong's words, the old man Klinzi, who was sick, began to be entangled. A little uncertain, he looked at Zheng Shuanglong and asked: "Could it be that it was written in the biography of the great man in the data room, no, I have tasted those biographies, and I don't remember such a sentence at all, or is it said by the great man of the Eastern Continent that I don't know, well, if it is said by the great man of the Eastern Continent, then, why haven't I heard it, it has such a connotation......"

Looking at the more real old man of Corinth, seriously thinking about the old man of Corinth who was reminiscing, Zheng Shuanglong felt that Alexander, a little bit didn't know what to say, did he want to be the old man in front of him, science and technology is the primary productive force is the famous words of a great man in Asia in the main world, and he didn't understand it when he said it.

With an embarrassed smile, Zheng Shuanglong directly diverted the topic and said: "Fully support the Chase Workshop, let the guiding civilization develop rapidly, this can not only improve the lives of the people, but also improve the overall strength of the kingdom, if Liberal's guiding weapon is always higher than the distance of other empires for several generations, then, even if the army is a little inferior, it can be handled." ”

Wouldn't the guiding airship in the Hundred Days War prove this truth, if it weren't for the guiding weapons that surpassed the empire for several generations, with the few and ineffective troops of the Liber Kingdom, even with the leadership of Cassius, it would be difficult to do something against the powerful and excessive army of the Erebonian Empire.

"Although the person who uses the weapon is the key, the person who drives the chariot is always much stronger than the person who holds the rifle, isn't it, especially when the damage caused by the guide rifle is not as big as a watermelon knife, and the level difference is even more obvious."

"Moreover, it has only been less than fifty years since the appearance of the guiding civilization that analyzed the ancient relics, and it has already brought such amazing changes to this Semuria continent, who knows what kind of monsters can be created if it continues to develop, anyway, it will be very amazing, and it will bring great surprises to mankind." Zheng Shuanglong said with a weird smile on his face.

There is really not much difference between this guiding force and electricity, at most it is one more recyclable, and the changes brought to mankind by the electrification era are very clear, it is a earth-shaking change, if this guiding civilization can develop rapidly, maybe it can bring enough energy to itself, after all, he is angry with the civilization of the river of fantasy banished to this chaotic land, and the potential of this civilization should not be low.

Maybe digging up a few ruins before the Great Collapse may not be able to get something, and maybe the exploration of those ruins will not necessarily solve the problem of energy.

Regardless of the yield, it's always good to have something to look at. It's okay to refine some sage stones, I don't want to create a land refining array, this kind of thing is too hurtful for luck and merit.

"All in all, the investment in Chase Workshops is always not wrong, it is really a profitable business, you are really lucky to have a Dr. Guiding Force named Arbat Russell, you must know that he alone can be worth half of the Liber Kingdom, he is too modest to describe as a national treasure."

Zheng Shuanglong doesn't know much about what conduction can bring to the Semria continent, but Zheng Shuanglong is very clear about what electrification similar to conduction can bring to the society of the main world.

In the 19th century, electricity found its way into industry and homes. In that golden age of electrical research and development, the rapid and continuous development brought indescribable and unimaginable changes to industry and society.

The second industrial revolution, marked by the era of electrification, has greatly promoted the development of social productive forces and has had a profound impact on the economic, political, cultural, military, scientific and technological and productive forces of human society. The socialization of capitalist production was greatly strengthened, and monopolies came into being.

As a result, the development of capitalist countries in the economic, cultural, political, military, and other aspects is unbalanced, and the struggle of imperialism for market economy and world hegemony has become more intense. The Second Industrial Revolution promoted the formation of the world colonial system, which led to the final establishment of the capitalist world system, and the world gradually became a whole.

The multiple advantages of electricity as a means of energy supply mean that the use of electricity is almost limitless. For example, mass transportation, heating, lighting, telecommunications, computing, etc., all require electricity as the main energy source. In the 21st century, the backbone of modern industrial society still relies on electricity.

The discovery and application of electricity has greatly saved human physical and mental labor, made human strength grow wings, and extended human information tentacles.

The impact of electricity on human life is twofold: the acquisition, transformation and transmission of energy, and the basis of electronic information technology. The discovery of electricity can be said to be a revolution in human history, the kinetic energy generated by it is continuously released every day, and the demand for electricity is exaggerated to say that its role is no less than the oxygen of the human world, if there is no electricity, human civilization will still explore in the dark.

Since the late nineties of the twentieth century, the integration of computers, information and communications, consumer electronics three major areas of information appliances began to widely penetrate into family life, it has audio-visual, information processing, two-way network communication and other functions, by embedded processors, related support hardware, embedded operating systems and application layer of software packages.

Broadly speaking, information home appliances include all home appliances that can interact with information through network systems, such as PCs, set-top boxes, HPC, DVDs, super VCDs, wireless data communication equipment, video game equipment, WEBTV, etc. Audio, video, and communication equipment are the main components of information appliances. Refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, etc., have also developed into information appliances and form an integral part of smart home appliances.

Electricity has changed the lives of human beings in the main world and made earth-shaking changes in the society of the main world, so it is expected that the guiding force, which is so similar to electricity and has incomparable advantages of electricity, can bring changes to the Semuria continent.

The most important thing is that the guiding civilization has had a brilliant time, although that glory was destroyed for some reason, but after all, the brilliant has been brilliant, which is enough to prove that the guiding civilization still has great potential for development.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces, as long as the development of civilization is guided, as long as it can always be ahead of other forces, this is also a special deterrent.

As long as you can create more than one, two, triple, or even ten or twenty times the wealth of the other party with less than one-twentieth of the other party's land, then this is enough to make the empire and the republic dare not have anything on their minds, and the technology that surpasses the other party for several generations can really do this kind of thing.

The wealth created by the electric civilization is incomparable to the steam civilization.

The wealth that can be created by the guiding civilization is also known by the non-guiding civilization.

Scientific and technological strength is also strength.

"Okay, let's put aside the Chase workshop or something, after all, I'm not a professional guide researcher, and I can gain insight into the prospects of the guide civilization, but I really don't understand how the specific guide civilization should develop or something. Professional matters should be left to professionals, and the guiding force should be handled by Arbat Russell, a disciple of Dr. Epstein, the inventor of the power guide. All that can be done is give him unconditional support, and that's it. With that, Zheng Shuanglong pushed aside the investigation report on Chase Workshop.

"Now let's take a look at the useless projects of several super losers in the Liber Kingdom, the Kaludia Tunnel, the Luan Bridge, and the Guroni Mountain Road." Placing a map of the Liber Kingdom on the table, pointing to the three messy projects, Zheng Shuanglong said angrily.

"That, although the Guleni Mountain Road and the Karudia Tunnel are huge, they have revitalized the Lu'an area, strengthened the control of the Liber Kingdom over the Lu'an region, and also promoted the development of the Lu'an region, as for the Lu'an Bridge, this is a witness to the development of the Libel guiding cause, and it also facilitates the traffic between the north and south blocks of Lu'an City, which is conducive to the development of the Lu'an area, and it is not too much to say that they are messy projects." Seeing Zheng Shuanglong's disparagement of the Liber Kingdom, Corinth instinctively retorted.

"Still, cut, the Guroni Mountain Road and the Karudia Tunnel revitalize Luan? What are you kidding, what is the big lake in the middle of the Liber Kingdom, the Lake Valyria that connects the four regions of Luan, and what can be done with one pier, there are two time-consuming, laborious and material-intensive Guroni Mountain Roads and Kaludia Tunnels. Looking at the old man Corinth with disdain, Zheng Shuanglong sneered.

"Do you know how many people flow on these two roads in a month now, and do you know how many people travel to and from Lu'an through these two roads every year, just a little bit, and it's shocking."

"For most people who come to Luan, it's better to take a guided airship than to walk the difficult Guroni Mountain Trail and the dark Karudia Tunnel."

"Earlier, when the guide airship did not appear, the people of the Liber Kingdom came to Luan by boat, instead of taking those two paths that gave a very bad impression, if it wasn't for the impossible, there really weren't many people who took these two roads."

"For the sake of such a small contribution, it is really bad enough to waste the people's money and waste the taxpayers' tax revenue to open these two roads that are not practical at all, well, it seems that Liberal, marked by the 'white falcon', is also the existence of a tyrant who overrides the will of the people with his own will."

"However, the Guroni Mountain Road and the Kaludia Tunnel have played a big role in stabilizing the rule of the Liber royal family, and with the opening of the road, the will of the royal family will naturally invade the Lu'an region, which is still of a little significance in terms of stabilizing the political situation."

Seeing Zheng Shuanglong full of firepower, constantly smearing the royal family of the Liber Kingdom, the old man Corinth was really angry, but in the face of Zheng Shuanglong's very convincing words, the old man Collinzi, who was not a girl and couldn't make trouble unreasonably, really didn't know how to justify.

Reasonable, well-founded and responsible, Zheng Shuanglong's words can stand up to scrutiny, in this case, the old man Corinths really can't say anything. Even for the sake of his beloved country, he can't say anything.

The old man Corinth is reasonable and obedient, and a reasonable person, a rule-abiding person, will really have a helplessness when facing Zheng Shuanglong.

A gentleman can be deceived in a way, and it is difficult to do it in a wrong way. The ancients did not deceive me. Looking at the old man Collinz who was stunned, Zheng Shuanglong thought happily.

"Forget about the Guroni Mountain Road and the Karudia Tunnel, although it costs a lot of money and money, although the effect is a little worse, but it is an old thing, and there is no obstacle to the development of the current Liber Kingdom, so don't worry about it."

Nodding the location of the Lu'an Bridge heavily, the mockery on Zheng Shuanglong's face became stronger and stronger. "Who proposed the Lu'an Bridge, a bridge that uses the guiding force to guide the division and merge, does he have a common enmity with the Liber Kingdom, such a scourge to the Liber Kingdom, a good golden waterway, was stunned by the Lu'an Bridge to make a closed river that can only be passed in less than an hour a day. This is really throwing an astonishing amount of Mira into the sea, every year because of the Lu'an Bridge, the symbol of the so-called Lu'an City, the direct loss of the Lu'an area reaches one billion Mira, indirect losses, such as hindering the development of Lu'an, hindering the opening of trade between the Liber Kingdom and other countries, hindering the arrival of the maritime age, hindering the expansion of the Liber Kingdom, etc., 10 billion Mira every year are said to be small. ”

The old man Klinzi, who was frightened by the numbers in Zheng Shuanglong's mouth, said dumbfounded: "Ten billion milas, is it so exaggerated, whether Lu An's annual output value is one billion mila is a problem......

Zheng Shuanglong, who saw that the old man of Corinths was stunned by his words, said happily with a happy smile on his face: "Ten billion Mira, that's right, it's ten billion Mira, I'm still going to say less." Not counting the endless benefits brought by the opening of possible new shipping routes, this golden waterway connecting Lake Valyria and connecting the entire kingdom of Liber is really developing it, it is really flowing gold all the time. ”

"A bridge of Luan, which brings little real benefit, has cut Luan off from the rest of the kingdom of Libel, turning the golden waterway, which was once the most valuable and rich, into a stagnant ditch that can only be used for an hour a day...... I really can't help but admire the stupidity of the people who proposed and voted to build this bridge, and I really have to admire the stupidity of those who proposed and voted to build this bridge. Obviously, the development is better than the other regions in the Liber Kingdom, and it was originally able to become the richest region in the Liber Kingdom, but you made it look like this, tsk, I really can't admire it. ”

Looking at Zheng Shuanglong with an exaggerated expression on his face, the old man Corinth defended himself a little unpleasantly: "The passage time of one hour a day is after many arguments, and the ships of the Liber Kingdom with the guiding airship as the main means of transportation are not many in the first place......"

Unceremoniously interrupted Collins's words, Zheng Shuanglong looked at Collinz with foolish eyes, and said loudly: "Can you be a little more ridiculous, you can even make the so-called guided airship, then, can't even some sea ships be built?" Shipbuilding will be more difficult than building a guided airship! Not enough ships!? Can you still be funny......

"Is Luanke one of the best harbor cities, with a natural and excellent harbor, with the whole Liber Kingdom to rely on, there is a river and lake intertwining the whole of Liber, such good conditions, such an excellent geographical location, so that it can't be developed, I really don't know what to say."

"The ocean is full of endless treasures, and the abundant marine resources can make your eyes shine. How big the continent is, how big the ocean is, the resources in the sea are dozens of times that of the continent, even if most of them are not available at this stage, but only a small part of them can be developed, then it will be enough for the Liber Kingdom to eat a mouth full of oil. ”

"Solid minerals such as coal and iron, energy sources such as oil, natural gas, and combustible ice, and mineral resources such as coastal placers and hydrothermal deposits are not to mention, and those biological resources are enough to make the Kingdom of Liber the richest country."

"About 85% of the world's aquatic products are produced in the ocean. With fish as the main body, it accounts for more than 80% of the world's total marine aquatic products, and there are also abundant algae resources. Such abundant resources are enough to feed tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. And the population of the Liber Kingdom is only how large, and the population of the Luan region is only how large, and this ocean can completely contain the entire Liber Kingdom. ”

"As long as some boats, some fishing boats and merchant ships, it is enough to bring enough benefits to the Liber Kingdom, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, obviously the sea is over there, but they don't pay attention to it at all, it's really strange enough."

"The annual production of seaweed, which grows naturally in offshore waters alone, is more than thousands of times the total annual food produced by the Kingdom of Liberl, and if processed into food, it can provide people with enough protein, vitamins and minerals for the human body."

"There is also an abundance of invisible plankton in the ocean, processed into food, enough to meet the needs of 30 billion people, and there are many fish and shrimp in the ocean, which is really the breadbasket of the future of mankind. Every year, more than 5 billion tons are produced, and we only catch 100 million ~ 150 million tons, which is enough to meet the consumption of human beings in the entire Semuria continent, and even more. ”

"What a great fortune this is, but how much has the entire Semlia continent developed, the Liber Kingdom is obviously on the seaside, but it turns a blind eye to this huge wealth, Lu An obviously has such a good geographical location, but he treats this lovely sea, the sea with such wealth, it really makes people can't help but laugh at it......"
