Chapter 782: Opening a New Era
Sheng Ze and Shen Qingqian arrived at the prisoner camp, which had been divided into twenty different areas, and the same language was basically divided into the same place.
Shen Qingqian first asked people who knew the languages of several tribes outside the Guanxi to communicate with those tribes, and then she went to communicate with those foreigners one by one.
"Who among you is multilingual? Stand up now, and you will receive the benefits of the captives. Shen Qingqian's English is the best, so he naturally shouted in English first, "There is only one chance, please seize this opportunity." ”
She also knew English and Latin, and she had to rely on them to communicate with them.
Shen Qingqian thought about it, these people ran all the way from Europe to Dajin, it is impossible not to communicate, there will always be smart people who can learn some languages of other nationalities in getting along day and night, as long as these people are used well, future communication will not be a problem.
After she finished saying this, she directly opened the basket that Sheng Ze was carrying, and there was a large bowl of braised pork and a plate of stir-fried oil and wheat vegetables, plus a large bowl of white rice.
All the captives hadn't eaten a decent meal for a long time, and looking at the food in the basket, Shen Qingqian could hear the sound of them swallowing.
Shen Qingqian made persistent efforts, "If you can help me, I will be able to eat such a meal every three days in the future." ”
This sentence seduces the captives. The confusion was too great, and soon more than a dozen people stood in front, including the brothers named Ryan and Lyle from before.
Shen Qingqian nodded, greeted them one by one, and asked different questions to everyone.
"What are you talking about the big guy?" When it was the brother's turn, Shen Qing asked coldly.
Lyle's face turned red all of a sudden, but Ryan was ecstatic, "Beautiful young lady, did you hear what we said?" ”
After speaking, he remembered that Shen Qingqian was not speaking their language now? It's just that the accent and some of the words are a little weird.
"Yes," Shen Qing bowed his head and said seriously, "If what you do can help us, you will be treated as guests." ”
Ryan's eyes lit up, "Really? Then you will definitely be interested! ”
Shen Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile, "Oh? What great inventions have you made? ”
"Oh beautiful young lady, yes, what we do is great inventions! With it, people's lives will be incredibly easier......" Ryan began to gush about what their brother called the big guy.
Shen Qingqian's expression became more and more strange when he heard it.
Sheng Ze's hand had already touched the hilt of the Excalibur, but he still calmly asked Shen Qingqian, "What are you talking about?" ”
Shen Qing came back to his senses, his eyes were still staring at Ryan, but what he said was the Great Jin dialect, "What they built is something called a steam engine." ”
"Steam engine?" Sheng Ze was stunned for a moment, and his mind flashed through something he had accidentally seen in his dream, as well as other information related to it.
After a moment's pause, Sheng Ze's hands tightened, watching Ryan and Lyle's expressions become focused.
Shen Qingqian also listened very carefully, and many thoughts had already surged in his heart.
If the Jenny loom is a symbol of the beginning of the first industrial revolution, then the emergence and improvement of the steam engine represents a qualitative leap in power in the first industrial revolution.
There was a steam engine in the drawings given by the system before, but the drawings were very complicated, and the materials used were not easy to make in this era, so Shen Qingqian didn't ask again after he took the book to Qin Lao.
Now...... You can go to Qin Lao and take these brothers to create a new era.
