Lin Jue only felt that his head was groggy, and he felt that he seemed to have fainted not long ago.

There was a very strange feeling that just now it seemed that some vague fears and worries that I had hidden in my heart were suddenly magnified countless times and occupied my heart. He felt that this feeling had been experienced before, and he had this feeling when he set off from Splendid City and returned to Oasis City.

Lin Jue, who came back to his senses, carefully recalled the feeling just now, and only felt afraid for a while, as if he had changed a person just now, decadent, fearful, and all kinds of negative emotions wrapped around him, and it seemed that his life had become gloomy. He didn't know what was going on, it seemed like he had suddenly become like this, without warning.

"Awake?" a soft voice whispered. Lin Jue slowly opened her eyes, it turned out to be Finix, and she was pillowed on her lap at this time.

"What's wrong with me?" Lin Jue wondered.

Phinex pursed her lips and said, "I fainted in the sea breeze." ”

Lin Jue knew very well that he had heard a phoenix chirp before, and he was sure that Fenix knew about his situation, but for some reason she didn't tell herself: "Tell me honestly, I know you know the situation, otherwise I wouldn't have heard your voice just now." ”

Fenix snorted coldly and said, "You just fainted by blowing the sea breeze, and I don't know about the rest." Okay, wake up and get up, how long do you want to lie down?"

Lin Jue shrugged his shoulders, since Fenex didn't want to say, he couldn't help it, under Phoenix's impatient urging, he had to get up and go back to the cabin to rest.

Lying on the bed, Lin Jue was still thinking about what had just happened.

"What is my advantage?"

Lin Jue laughed at himself: "My advantage is that I come from a civilization with highly developed science and technology, but what's the use? Could it be that I can still build a country with a civilization of science and technology?"

Lin Jue was like a deflated ball, his whole body was paralyzed.

"However, I can't do it with highly developed technology, but at the level of industrial civilization, I think I should still be able to do it, right?"

"Well, I have a bold idea. ”

Thinking of this, Lin Jue immediately came to his senses, came to the table and took out a notebook and began to record.

"Yes, if you can get a steam engine and replace labor with mechanical power, oh my God!"

Lin Jue exclaimed in surprise and began to continue writing and drawing on the paper: "The current problem in the Eastern Continent is that there is a large accumulation of raw materials, and the handicraft industry in the Central Continent cannot swallow such a large amount, but as long as there is a steam engine, it can develop industry, quickly consume raw materials, and generate a large number of industrial products!"

"And why do I have to refer to the history of Europe? I can only develop industry on the Eastern Continent, not only is it safe, but other countries are not threatened. And compared to the central continent, there are so many ownerless lands in the eastern continent where factories can be built, it can be said that there is no cost. ”

"The central continent has a large population, and most people are still poorly clothed and underfed. I can exchange a large number of industrial products for the surplus labor of various countries, transport them to the Eastern Continent, and as long as there is enough population, the Eastern Continent can develop. ”

"As long as a virtuous circle is formed, so that only in the eastern continent, industrial civilization can achieve domestic demand-driven development, as long as the level of development is sufficient, it can ensure that the company will not fall into financial difficulties, and it can ensure the operation of a large fleet. ”

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Jue's body began to tremble slightly due to excitement: "This trick works!"

"The principle of the steam engine is not difficult, but it is impossible for me to make it from scratch. But Jiang Quan, who was born in science and engineering, should be able to restore one, right?" Lin Jue thought so, he decided that after this trip to Dawn City was over, he would make a plan and start researching this project when he went back.

Lin Jue flipped through another notebook: "The assets of five million gold coins have now been used up more than one million, well, there are 500,000 gold coins to buy many Yan Empire specialties, piled up in Oasis City." After selling these things, you can theoretically make a net profit of a million gold coins, but how can these things be sold in a few years?"

"The remaining 4 million gold coins will be used to bring in immigrants, and second, to keep enough money for construction and development. In the past few years, you can spend all the time, and you will not distribute dividends to the Orlante Kingdom, and the situation will improve in a few years. ”

"All in all, it is to invent the steam engine, start the industrial revolution, and drive the development of the Eastern Continent!"

“......”

Lin Jue has been studying the future planning and development, living in seclusion, hiding in the cabin until the morning of the third day.

On the deck, Lin Jue stretched his waist and moved his sore muscles. Looking at the scorching sun rising behind the eastern coast, Lin Jue sighed: "It's a pity that the east is all land, and I can't watch the sunrise on the sea, otherwise I can get up earlier." ”

Phinex, who was lying on the side of the boat, pouted and said, "Big lazy worm, this is an excuse to find a lazy bed for yourself, the sun is so high." ”

Lin Jue has been looking at the coast, at this time, the coast passed along the way no longer has the feeling of desolation before, this is close to Dawn City, the surrounding coast is inhabited by a large number of people, this young land is full of youthful vitality.

You can already see the port of Dawning City here, and there is not only one transport ship under your feet nearby, but all kinds of ships of all sizes gather and sail here, and this scene can be described in one word, hundreds of ships competing for the current.

On the docks, people come and go, and countless handicraft raw materials, grain, are packed into bags of hemp and carried by sailors to transport ships, which will transport these raw materials back to the central continent.

These raw materials are processed and various handmade products will be shipped back here again. Along with the handicraft products, there are also boatloads of immigrants, and the number of immigrants in each ship is not too much, but the number of ships going back and forth is enough to transport a large number of immigrants to the Eastern Continent every day.

What made Lin Jue feel strange was that the main settlements he saw along the way were actually building city walls, theoretically the human beings in the Eastern Continent would not break out into any wars, he couldn't help but think, in such a situation, wouldn't building city walls restrict the development of the city?

The strangest thing is that all the cities are building walls together, and there seems to be a consensus. Lin Jue kept an eye on it, and when he arrived in Dawning City, he had to figure out what was going on.

Dawning City can be said to be the center of the entire Eastern Continent, and almost all ships that come to the Eastern Continent will dock in Dawning City. At present, the total population of the Eastern Continent has almost caught up with the population of a small country, and in addition to the management agencies operated by itself, all major organizations in the Central Continent have set up branches here.

Because Dawning City has always been managed by the Yan Empire, there are no restrictions on the establishment of branches of other public institutions except for various religious institutions. The main ones are the Wizards' Guild, the Wizards' Guild, the Mercenary Guild, and the Thieves' Guild.

Because of the prosperity of the city, some of the aborigines of the Eastern Continent have been attracted here, walking the streets, in addition to humans, you may also meet some strange creatures. Therefore, in addition to the management and service institutions established by various human beings, the elves, dwarves and other relatively large races have set up liaison agencies here, adding a touch of color to Dawning City and making it a pearl on the Eastern Continent.

At this time, the ships have entered the port, and the management of the dock comes to the dock, directs the ships to dock, and begins to register each ship. Not long after, the transport ship at Lin Jue's feet completed the docking under the command of the management personnel.

"Sorry for being a month late, but I'm here anyway. ”
