Lu Yao overlooks the world.

In Yaocheng, the steam furnace directly led to the birth of two technologies of printing and dyeing and textile machinery, which gave new vitality to Yaocheng, where the economy was relatively stagnant.

Merchants from all over the world flocked to the ancient holy city once again, forming a long queue outside the temple's dyeing and dyeing workshops and textile offices, and the merchants who got the goods smiling and leading their camels happily to the place where they were sold.

The vendors who were still waiting were restless, and various thoughts kept coming to their heads, worried that they would not be able to get the goods that day.

More intuitive is on the streets of the city.

The residents of Yaocheng are no longer monotonous black, white and gray, they finally put on colorful red, yellow and green clothes, and the whole city has become a lot brighter.

On the docks, ships at anchor also fly flags of different colors to represent the different organizations they belong to, making it easier to identify.

The advent of the printing press was a bonus.

Lu Yao checked the backstage and found that in fact, in the last era, the medicine spoon had already tried to make books in batches in the Ling Temple, which was also the prototype of printing.

Yao Spoon repeatedly emphasized that if books could be mass-produced, it would play a huge role in the continuation and dissemination of knowledge in the entire city and even the entire Yao people.

But until her death, the research and development of printing technology was in the stage of pottery engraving, which was not only difficult to cast, but also extremely fragile, and was still in the stage of failure.

Later, the era changed, and poisonous mosquitoes and plague beasts were raging, and the temple had to tighten its manpower.

The new head of the meeting, Cupiroll, has not forgotten this incident, he inherited the legacy of the medicine spoon, and continues to invest manpower and material resources in research. The advent of the steam stove allowed the scholars of the Temple Society to supplement the last link of printing.

Yaocheng printing uses metal molds and smoke ink as coatings, and the principle is similar to that of steam furnace textile machines and steam furnace forging, and the reciprocating movement is driven by steam to complete the printing on paper.

With the birth of printing, books became everyday commodities like textiles. In the past, hand-copied books were scarce and expensive, which made it difficult for knowledge to circulate to the outside world, and it was basically in the hands of scholars and wealthy classes, and the monopoly of knowledge was completely ended.

Classic books such as "A Brief History of the Tribe", "The Code of Tribal Transactions", "The History of the Evolution of Yancheng", "The Bizarre Adventure of Pawa", and "The Ladybug", as well as the latest epic "The Abyssal Evildoer" and the biography "The Crystal Empire", were shipped out of the printing room of the temple in Yaocheng and sent to the rest of the world, and anyone could pocket them.

No matter how eras and eras change, Yaocheng still stands firmly at the cultural center of the whole world.

Sister cities to the west are a different story.

What Lu Yao noticed at first glance was the land boat road laid outside Yancheng.

The road is not wide but striking with simple stone piers and wooden poles, and the ground is paved with fine gravel. The boat road runs east to the south gate of Yaocheng, and south through the forest to the northern entrance of Saniro.

The boat was driving on a gravel road.

They floated from the ground to the surface, and the shuttle-shaped or strip-shaped boats sailed on the tracks, much faster than the Crystal City Flower Boats, but only as fast as the horses, and the victory was long-lasting.

The environment of the western continent is stable and safe, so the boat does not need to be equipped with a rose turret, which not only reduces the load, but also makes it lighter to drive on the special boat track.

The boat road and the earth boat have accelerated the exchange and communication of goods between Yancheng and the outside world, and it has now become an important commodity concentration and transit station.

Whether it is the earthworms of the Northern Dragon's Lair, the ores of Wuda City, the glass of Crystal City, or the goods made by the elves of the Southern Continent, and even the many archipelago specialties on the vast ocean, they can all be found in Yancheng.

Matching with the earth boat is a steamboat on the sea.

A steamboat is a simple modified ship based on a galley and equipped with a steam furnace. When the wind is downwind, you can use the sails to move forward, and when the wind is upwind, you can use the steam furnace to push the oars on both sides, and it is far from the point of a steamer.

But even so, it has made the pace of human beings at sea much faster.

Yancheng is still the richest city, and it is the vane of whether the economy and trade are active or not.

Lu Yao clicked on the transformation of the large communal bath and named it.

……

[Yancheng Bathhouse]: Yancheng is a large bathhouse built based on a steam stove, which can accommodate 800 people to bathe. Baths with hot water, warm water, cold water, steam, and salt water are available.

The bathhouse is a way for Yancheng people to negotiate cooperation, alleviate contradictions, and relax banquets.

Yancheng bathing places are in the city, the pressure of urban residents is slightly reduced, the transaction success rate is slightly improved, and the external attractiveness is improved.

……

The wonder was born, which made the people of Yancheng smile one by one. They surrounded the baths, holding white sacred flowers, and chanting the name of the god Yao.

"Yao Shen loves our baths!"

"We have the best baths in the world, everyone needs to bathe, this is Yancheng!"

"The gods approve of bathing!"

"Life is not only about making money, but also about bathing!"

Lu Yao clicked on the bath.

It is located in the south of Yancheng, near the city gate. It is a large square building, the scale of which is comparable to that of the Colosseum.

The largest area of the bathhouse is a public bath, and there are many cubicles around it.

Most people take a bath and chat in the public bath, and the business is in the separate bath, so far, the bath culture has gradually become the local customs of Yancheng.

Led by the Twin Cities, the city has been revitalized by new technologies, but the new era is more like a strange banquet for individuals that cannot be refused.

The era of fire and steam is coming.

The fastest to accept and adapt to the new environment were scholars, artisans, and merchants.

The birth of the steam furnace has had the most direct impact on their fields. Many people immediately saw the opportunity and opened the steam furnace for a variety of purposes, taking the lead.

The plant is used in a wide range of applications, including smelting, forging, toolmaking, textiles, ships, etc., covering most of the handicraft manufacturing industries.

Of course, there are some people who can't accept it.

Some scholars call it a "dangerous copper monster" and believe that the steam stove itself is extremely risky. If used in large quantities, numerous steam stoves can envelop the entire city in flames and steam when they explode.

They vigorously appealed for a ban on the use of steam stoves by the people.

Old-school craftsmen insist that the utensils forged by the steam furnace are rigid and uniform, and that only skilled craftsmen can give a piece a unique texture and texture by hand.

Among the merchants, there are also those who have been preaching the danger of the steam stove and calling for the preservation of artisan traditions.

But these are all appearances.

What this part of the merchants wanted to say was that this dangerous and threatening device for the work of the craftsman had to be expensive to match its identity and positioning.

The price of the steam stove must be raised! And it's best to limit the purchase in a centralized manner!

The ultimate goal, of course, is to increase business profits.

But compared to these people, it was the martial monks who were actually hit the hardest, or rather, the cultivators who took the path of challenging their personal limits.

The steam furnace accelerated almost all the manual industries, and the all-round stone of Crystal City continued to flow into the market, so that the number of sophisticated equipment skyrocketed, the price continued to decrease, and the popularity increased significantly.

The group of armor bearers has grown wildly, and every city is full of patrolling armorers, and the transcendents are also subject to strict order in the city.

The background data of the Golden Field shows that the Yancheng Martial Arts Association is very bleak. The number of registered warriors continued to decline, which meant that many people had abandoned the profession and route, and the council's appropriations had been cut again and again.

And in this context, a Yao man dressed in a broken ghost armor came outside the association.

"I'm going to apply to be a martial monk."

Lu Yao took a look.

It turned out to be a ghost samurai farm.

He didn't work as a locust killer outside Crystal City and came here to be a martial monk?

Lu Yao checked it and found that the level of Nonglei had actually reached LV22, which could be called the Sword God of Shilipo in Crystal City.

"Anyone? I'm going to apply to become a warrior. ”

The farmer shouted again.

The gates of the association were closed, except for a watchdog lying in the doorway.

A passing hunter told him: "The front desk of the association is in the nursing home today because of diarrhea. Come back another day. ”

The other party said: "Many martial monks have quit the association and switched to the armor warriors. Now the warrior monk has no future and no money...... Why can't you think about it so much, and why do you still want to apply? You look like you're in armor too. ”

Nonglei replied, "I've been aiming for Mr. Shioku since I was a child, and I've always wanted to become a martial monk. ”

"Shiojiu is indeed remarkable, but he has been gone for many years. Times are different, and this is no longer the time for martial monks. ”

Passers-by shook their heads and left.

The farm base is still waiting outside the door.
