Chapter 807: The World of Civilization

Looking at the scene in front of him, the general only felt that he was running out of words, and it was difficult to express his shock with any words.

The first thing that appeared in front of the general was the approach bridge.

As a super bridge across the sea, it is also a super bridge in the world of cultivation, and the approach bridge is 10 kilometers long. The width of the bridge deck is 150 meters!

The bridge is currently under construction and has just arrived at the seaside. Piling is taking place on the seashore.

After years of development and technology accumulation and research and development, Dayang Group's construction machinery technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. In particular, the development of construction machinery for the land bridge, especially engineering ships, has been called crazy.

At this time, there are construction machinery driving piles on the shore.

The hammer guide rail of the construction machinery is more than 500 meters high, and the black steel pillar that is 5 meters thick and 150 meters long and almost semi-solid below is nailed into the ground with a clatter.

Every time the hammer fell, it was like a thunderbolt, the earth trembled violently, and the sea by the sea was amazed at the broken waves.

There are 12 such construction machines on the shore, arranged in two columns, and behind the construction machinery, there are six rows of steel columns nailed into the ground.

The distance between the left and right sides of the steel column is about 25 meters, and the distance between the front and back is about 45 meters, and it extends to the sea.

After the piling, there are also workers in the rear who will measure and cut the steel pipes before installing the beams and supports.

On the seaside, there are a large number of masters of the Transformation Period, who are using spells to separate the sea water, and there are already two construction machines that have completed the ground piling and are moving towards the ocean.

And the steel pipes used to drive piles in the sea are already more than 180 meters long!

In the rear, it seems that there are longer steel pipes to be transported. Such a heavy steel pipe has begun to be inconvenient to transport by machinery, and Dayang Group directly used tens of thousands of yuan infancy and thousands of gods to participate in the construction.

Suddenly, a 'dark cloud' from the north flew against the ground. The general looked intently, but saw that above the thick clouds, there were hundreds of steel pipes with a length of more than 180 meters, and more than a dozen god-level masters were urging spells.

These masters quickly flew in front of the great general and towards a 'hill' in the distance. But at this time, when he looked closely, the general had to gasp: there were hills, and there were mountains of metal materials and so on.

In the Light Realm, metal is scarce, but here, metal is everywhere. If there is a lot of metal, it can only be used as building materials.

The ground trembled slightly, and the general suddenly turned his head to look behind, only to see two new, huge construction machines slowly coming. Two huge construction machines each carried a 45-meter-long and 25-meter-wide bridge section, and rumbled to it.

The base of these construction machinery is more than 50 meters long, and the construction machinery adopts a multi-track structure. A huge construction machine needs 12 sets of tracks to support its huge volume.

The heavy bridge section was easily and precisely placed, and the workers stepped forward to complete the inspection, insert the nail pins and bolts to fix it.

The whole project is huge, but the efficiency is extraordinarily high.

Two hours later, the construction machinery at the front has begun to enter the sea, and the master of the god will discharge the sea water and silt to provide convenience for the construction machinery.

This is how construction machinery began to enter the sea.

That is, there are spells in this world, and engineering operations can be so capricious. Of course, there is no way to pay so much attention to quality - there are monsters in this sea!

For bridge piers in the sea, after the piling is completed, the settlement method is also used to add an outer cement protective layer to the bridge.

This time, the bridge is more than 14,000 kilometers in total - the route is not straight, and some trenches, sandstone areas, or particularly deep places need to be bypassed.

Even so, the deepest part of the bridge is as high as 1,400 meters! For the deep sea zone, the only thing that Dayang Group can do at present is to pile up materials.

The undersea tunnel is not unconsidered, but the technical requirements are higher, and it is not possible to complete the stacking. Moreover, the later maintenance is troublesome and the circulation is small.

In contrast, for example, the construction of a sea-crossing bridge, although the initial investment is huge, the later maintenance is simple. The design service life of the bridge should be more than 100 years!

Cao Bin and Zhao Rang took the general and others to explain while walking.

When he heard that the bridge was 14,000 kilometers long, the general was even more stunned. The length of a bridge is like this, and the diameter of the Bright Realm is only 5,000 kilometers! It is about 15,700 kilometers in a week.

In other words, the length of this sea-crossing bridge can almost circle the Bright Realm!

And this is just one of the many projects of the Neptune Group.

However, the general observed for a long time and gradually discovered a problem: "In the process of your project construction, why don't you use a master to build?

If you use a master to build, it will be faster and more efficient, right?"

Cao Bin said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang said that spells can only be auxiliary. In fact, roads that are 'directly' built with spells can only be used for a few months before they become problematic.

We don't know much about the nature of spells, so the paths formed with spells are loosely structured and supported by spells. Whereas, spells are time-limited.

The other thing is to use spells to build 'indirectly'. Or talk about the road, it is okay to tamp the ground with earth-shaking techniques, but in this case, the efficiency is not better than that of construction machinery, and the efficiency is not good, and the quality is the most problematic.

The machinery will not be tired, and the main maintenance and debugging are good. Construction machinery can achieve consistent quality, but it is difficult for masters to keep the quality of thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers consistent.

But people get tired.

Then there's the issue of cost. At the cost of a master, you need to consume spirit stones and pills, but with construction machinery, it consumes fuel. It's worth a difference of 3,000 times!"

In fact, there is another reason, but Cao Bin will not say: technology can only be improved in practice. However, this is the core concept of Dayang Group, but it is not appropriate to announce it to the public.

Technology needs to be accumulated, and nothing can be achieved overnight. It can't be said that the current technology is a bit of a chicken rib and there is no need to use it, and the technology will never be able to improve.

The fact that Dayang Group was able to explore the secrets of the law is also an inevitable achievement achieved because of its persistent pursuit of technology.

With the development of the Dayang Group, even if we can't solve the secret of the law today, we will definitely be able to do it tomorrow. That's the benefit of the foundation.

Unlike other holy places and countries, unless there is some 'unexpected luck', it is almost impossible to unravel the secrets of the Dharma by yourself.

In short, Zhao Rang added a few more words next to him, and the general nodded slowly, but looking at the prosperous scene in front of him, there was still infinite shock and yearning in the general's eyes.

Only when I saw it with my own eyes did I understand how big the gap is. No wonder the civilized world is so disdainful of itself and others, no wonder it wants to cooperate with the Ocean Group but is arranged to observe - you observe first, and then we will talk.

If you don't look at it, you can't talk about it at all.

After two more days of observation here, the general also slowly learned the language of the civilized world—in fact, the language of the Ocean Bloc.

The language of the Ocean Group, that is, the language of the country of Qixia, is still different from the pronunciation of the Eastern world, and even many characters are different.

But now the Dayang Group is powerful, and many technical standards and cultivation standards (mainly Faxiang and new magic weapons) are annotated in the words of the Dayang Group, so now the pronunciation of the Dayang Group is already one of the important language branches in the civilized world, and it is the most widely influential—this and not one.

Basically, it can be said that the voice of the Ocean Group is moving closer to Esperanto.

Of course, in this process of development, the language pronunciation and writing of Dayang Group are also learning from the outside world and correcting them.

Different pronunciations, meanings, text structures, etc., are not much of a problem for daily communication. However, in terms of cultivation, especially in terms of exercises, there is often a difference of thousands of miles.

For example, 'several' and 'several'. 'Few' is a pictogram whose structure is the shape of a tool such as a coffee table. If you count, 'several' is correct, which is a huiyi.

There are also 'after' and 'after'. 'Hou' is the anti-inflection of 'division', which means to control, and if the word is directional, 'after' should be used. You can't say 'Queen/Houtu', you can only say 'Queen/Houtu'!

If you have a normal accent, you can mix these words, but if you explain and record the exercises, you must not mix them. And the words several, several, back, and back often appear in the exercises.

Now Dayang Group is also slowly changing such verbal mistakes.

Well, that's a long way off. In a word, if you learn the language of the Ocean Group, you can basically travel all over the known world now without fear - don't go to places that are too remote.

The general and others do not cultivate the Yuan Shen, and it is not easy to learn a language in just a few days. Fortunately, the language of the Light Realm and the language of the known world are the same sect, and although it has been more than 100,000 years in the past, they are somewhat related.

Moreover, the general and others are not ordinary people after all, they have been studying for seven or eight days, and they can already stumble and communicate.

Because of this, the general personally inquired about a lot of news. For example, for the cross-sea bridge, Dayang Group invested a total of 3 billion Ling Yuan, and there is 1 Ling Yuan = million yuan banknotes.

Now the annual salary of an early god transformation master is about 12,000 spirit yuan—which is quite high.

Even the Dayang Group, with the emergence of the master of the law in recent years, the income of the god master has been declining, but the income of the Dayang Group has remained above 20,000.

The general asked Cao Bin and Zhao Rang about the relationship between Lingshi, Lingyuan, and Yuan.

Cao Bin directly took out five pieces of upper, middle, and lower spirit stones and gave them to the general and others. "This is a spirit stone, which can be used for cultivation, but it cannot be directly absorbed, and the formation must be arranged. Direct absorption affects the foundation of the practice.

Lingyuan, yuan, is the name of a currency and is also a unit.

This is the banknote of Lingyuan, which is made of a mixture of pure gold and red copper, etc., and cannot be smelted and recycled.

This is Yuan, which is a low-level mixed element of pure gold.

At present, our currency, that is, banknotes, is: 5 cents, 1 jiao, 5 jiao, 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 50 yuan, 100 yuan, 1000 yuan, 0.01 yuan, 0.05 yuan, 0.1 yuan, 0.5 yuan, 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 100 yuan, these denominations.

Together, these make up our monetary system.

In terms of purchasing power, you can buy a pound of brown rice for 2~3 jiao, and you can buy a pound of high-quality glutinous rice for 5 jiao. 100 yuan can buy a low-grade Pei Yuan Dan. The low-level magic weapon flying sword, that is, used in the foundation building period, is used in regular channels, and costs 1500~2000 yuan.

The wages of ordinary and excellent migrant workers are as low as 200 yuan per month and the average income is 240 yuan.

If it is a skilled worker, a worker with a certain amount of technology, and a worker who works on the production line will get at least 260 yuan per month, and the average income is about 300 yuan. ”

The explanation was so detailed that the general knew it in his heart.

But as you can see from the above figures, there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor.

The master of the Transformation Period is still the most rudimentary, and his annual salary is 12,000 spirit yuan (high-grade spirit stone), which is equivalent to 12 billion yuan.

And the annual salary of ordinary migrant workers is about 2,800 yuan - even if you add any year-end bonuses and the like, it is only about 3,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 30 low-grade spirit stones.

But such an income, from the perspective of the entire civilized world, is already a high income.

Finally, Zhao Rang added: "Dayang Group is okay here. As long as you are diligent throughout the year, you can always buy a few spirit stones to practice at the end of the year. At least there is a chance to change their fate, and the children are enrolled for free, all at the expense of Dayang Group.

In other countries, many people can't even solve the problem of food and clothing for a busy year, let alone see the spirit stone. Not to mention the cultivation of changing fate, even survival is a problem. ”

The general was silent. The outside world is not a paradise!

After a moment of silence, the general suddenly said, "Let's go and see somewhere else." ”

Cao Bin answered: "Let's go to the Continent of Maotu." There is a war going on there, and the great generals can see how cruel the war of the civilized world is. ”
