As the carriage travels west along the high-grade stone path, the surrounding landscape gradually becomes idyllic, and the factories disappear in favor of roadside buildings and farmland in the distance.

Still, the industrial light has made some changes here, such as Liang En's sight of some apparently new tap and equally brand new gas street lights.

As an ancient city with a history of more than 2,000 years, Jijing City is located on a huge plain, with low and slightly undulating terrain, with an average altitude of no more than 100 meters.

The city is surrounded by several rivers, and a large number of water conservancy facilities have been built around these rivers, providing the capital with abundant water and lush vegetation in the surrounding area.

"What's that!" As he approached Jijing, Liang saw three huge mountains floating around the city, covered with buildings with eaves and arches.

Vines hang down from the edge of these mountains, forming a pothos tent, which contrasts with the waterfall that flows down like a white stream, and looks like a fairyland under the haunting white clouds.

"These are the three immortal mountains of Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou, and the first emperor of the year toured the east and then captured these three immortal mountains from the sea with the Great Qin Dragon Qi and used them to suppress the luck." The herald introduced.

"It's a pity that the First Emperor was too anxious, so he could still suppress the world when he was there, but as soon as he returned to the throne, the world was in chaos, but fortunately, this chaos did not affect the three immortal mountains too much, and the three immortal mountains have always remained here."

"Now these three mountains are part of the outer defense system of the capital, and there are elite Forbidden Army and Jinyi Guard operation troops stationed, and there are also some institutions working on them."

In addition to the three peaks that soar in the sky, the city has a huge wall of 30 meters high and nine attics perched on a high platform.

Even if he was hundreds of meters away from the city wall, Liang En could feel the powerful power of the city wall and these attics, and his cultivation was like a chicken cub next to an elephant.

Fortunately, the token on his body blocked the pressure brought by this large array, so he was able to enter the city in a carriage normally without being crushed by the large array.

After entering the city, the carriage took them directly to the Yangliu Hotel in the inner city, which was also one of the major hotels of the empire, which was only responsible for entertaining official personnel and was not open to the public.

As the face of a country, the state guesthouse naturally has the most top-level configuration, such as the entire hotel is encased in a huge magic circle, which can regulate the climate in addition to providing a defense that is no less than that of a fortress.

Whether it's scorching heat or cold or even more extreme climates, the hotel can make arrangements for as long as customers need to ensure that every guest feels at home.

In addition, the hotel's restaurant serves famous dishes from all over the world, both in terms of ingredients and tastes. There are also luxury facilities such as artificial spiritual springs, as well as special services for different ethnicities.

Not to mention the services and equipment in the guesthouse, which are absolutely top notch. Even in the modern world, this hotel is on par with the best hotels except for the lack of some modern amenities.

Liang En and the two of them were placed in a small courtyard with a goldfish pond, and after a simple tidying up, Liang En called room service to bring them lunch.

After a simple lunch, Liang En planned to take this opportunity to visit the hotel with Ao Lei, but what he didn't expect was that just as he was about to go out, a knock came from the direction of the door.

"Bachelor, a guest has come to visit you." After Ao Lei opened the door, a waiter dressed in blue clothes raised his hand to Liang En, and then only a small stack of name thorns came out and said to him.

"Are there any guests?" Liang En frowned after receiving the famous thorn, because in his impression, there were not many people who could come to visit the capital at the first time, not to mention those who knew him.

However, his brow furrowed as he opened the thorns, for all of them he had previously contacted through the Momen scholars. Well, the pen pals of the Gezhi Pavilion, the Temple of Medicine and the Temple of Shennong.

The people who were able to communicate with Liang En for a long time were basically the most academically qualified scholars of this era, and many of them were well-informed. So after learning the news of Liang En's visit to the capital, he came to visit him.

"It's unfortunate, it looks like you don't have time to go out and walk around right now." After getting the answer from the expression on Liang En's face, Ao Lei smiled slightly, "But it's also very interesting to discuss some issues with scholars. ”

Ao Lei is not a scholar, but because Liang En was not on the island from time to time, she is actually the person in charge of the establishment of industry and the cultivation of new agricultural crops on the island.

Therefore, she is obviously qualified to participate in this kind of academic discussion, especially as a front-line operator to make up for the lack of practical experience of these scholars.

Soon, Liang En and the group of scholars came to a conference room prepared for them in the hotel, and then got to know each other under the introduction of several people.

Because everyone is a scholar, after a brief introduction, everyone entered the state of academic discussion. Complex problems are raised in meetings and then solved or proposed in the brainstorming process.

"- Yes, that's right, that's right, the air fed into the furnace should be heated directly, rather than using expensive flint stones to add to the furnace body and blindly raise the temperature."

When Liang En showed the design of a steelmaking furnace to preheat the air, a bachelor who studied metal smelting in Gezhige showed a look of sudden realization, followed by a kind of chagrin that he had not realized it before.

This should be regarded as the sequelae of the seedlings - Liang En came up with a very professional design drawing, but the social foundation of the agricultural society led to various changes during the construction.

Some of the changes work well, but most of them have a negative effect:

Unlike traditional handicrafts, modern industry is a complex system. So many times, a small change can cause a chain reaction.

At the same time, the miscommunication between the design department and the manufacturing department also led to a series of problems, such as the former may not know anything after some things are changed by the latter.

As a result, many simple modifications will lead to a series of complex problems, such as canceling the preheating of the furnace air, the temperature of the furnace cannot rise, and in the end, the person who takes over will not know the existence of this structure, so it can only increase the cost and use extraordinary power to force heating.

Although the goal was successfully achieved, the cost soared to a level that was completely unacceptable to a normal person.

There are many similar problems, although they do not affect the operation of the entire system, but will greatly increase the complexity and cost of the operation of the system, and these points will be corrected one by one after being discovered by Liang En.

So in the next few days, Liang En has been immersed in this exchange of knowledge and solved hundreds of small problems, which also surprised the scholars who participated in the exchange.

As a result, the interest in the discussion grew, and it was not until the day before the audience ceremony that the scholars let Liang En go.
