After more than [-] years of development, the large and medium-sized industrial revolution has reached a point of concentration in recent years.

Ten years ago, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed the first generator.

Seven years ago, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered a way to send electricity over long distances.

Five years ago, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences finally made the first practical electric light with a carbonized bamboo filament placed in a vacuum glass bottle, which lasted for [-] hours.

Two years ago, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences filled the glass bubble with nitrogen, improved the filament, and finally produced a carbonized bamboo filament lamp that can last for 1000 to [-] hours.

Since then, electric lights have entered the lives of people in Dazhong, and the night has become brighter.

And Li Yan also formally proposed the concept of a power station, and put forward the idea of ​​a hydroelectric power station and a wind power station. Initially, a generator equipment only supplies lighting electricity for a house or a street. The generating capacity of the power station is very small, and with the promotion of electric lights, this kind of power station is obviously not enough.

More than 20 years ago, under the leadership of Li Yan, Dazhong developed the steam engine, and then the train was born.

After continuous improvement, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed an internal combustion engine fueled by gasoline more than ten years ago.

A few years later, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a diesel engine with a simpler structure and cheaper fuel.

Seven years ago, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed the first motor vehicle—a three-wheeled vehicle with a two-stroke single-cylinder gasoline engine. This vehicle has some basic features of future generations of vehicles, such as spark ignition, Water cooling cycle, steel pipe frame, leaf spring suspension, rear wheel drive, front wheel steering and brake handle, etc.

Four years ago, as the internal combustion engine became more and more mature, especially the invention of the diesel engine, the researchers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences finally developed an excellent engine through unremitting efforts. Generates a lot of power.

This engine is assembled on two-wheel vehicle, three-wheel vehicle and four-wheel vehicle soon, has made engine automobile.

Last year, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences built a gasoline-engined four-wheeled truck equipped with the latest motors and reached a speed of [-] kilometers per hour.

The car has been officially born and has begun to develop at a high speed.

As far as the current situation is concerned, one of the most useful research results in Dazhong is the telegraph.

Due to the discovery of electricity, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences gradually discovered various properties of electricity, and it was logical that some people began to study the possibility of using electricity to transmit messages.

A few years ago, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a code that could be used for communication between the two places based on the mousse code "invented" by Li Yan at the request of the intelligence department of Dazhong.

As a result, the Telegram was born.

The earliest electric wires were of the single-wire type, which needed to complete the loop through the ground, and the transmission distance was limited, let alone crossing the ocean.

Later, through Li Yan's continuous investment in improvements, the telegram was able to spread farther and farther.

Now, the farthest telegraph line can already reach Dingyuan City from Zhongdu, and from Zhongdu to the farthest Kang country (Portugal in later generations), it only takes a dozen transmissions.

This played a great role in promoting the consolidation of Dazhong's rule.

It should be known that before the invention of the telegraph, the main methods of long-distance communication included: post delivery, carrier pigeon, letter dog, and beacon smoke.

Post-delivery is a relay of letters sent to the destination by a dedicated person on horseback or other means of transportation.

Establishing a reliable and fast post delivery system requires a very high cost. First, a good road network must be established, and then suitable post facilities must be equipped.

It is even more infeasible in areas with poor transportation.

The reliability of communication using homing pigeons is very low, and it is limited by weather and paths.

Another type of communication method is to use signals visible to the naked eye, such as beacons, swing arm signals, and lights, to communicate by relay.

This method is also costly and susceptible to weather and terrain.

Before the invention of the telegraph, only the most important messages would be transmitted, and the speed was unbearably slow from Li Yan's point of view.

In addition, on the basis of the telegraph, Li Yan has formally proposed the concept of the telephone.

However, the phone is still in the theoretical stage.

Let's put it this way, during the years when Li Cun was in control of Dazhong, Li Yan was not idle. In addition to creating people to greatly increase the population of the royal family and conquering the entire Central Asia and Europe, Li Yan also presided over the research and development of a series of Something epoch-making.

These things have greatly promoted the development of productivity. Both people's life and industry have made great progress. At the same time, they have also prompted the rise of emerging industries such as electric lights, automobiles, and chemicals. The emergence of these things and their industries has made everyone China has become stronger, and economic growth has also reached a new high.

The key is that the emergence of the telegram has made Dazhong's contact more convenient and faster.

In addition, trains, ships and other means of transportation, which were born one step earlier, have also made the connections between various regions of the world more convenient and closer.

In this way, the world market is further formed.

Now, the whole world is moving forward at a high speed centered on Dazhong.

but--

There is not only a good side to everything, but also a bad side.

The increase in productivity makes production more concentrated, which means the emergence of monopoly organizations. In other words, some capitalists have begun to appear, the people are increasingly divided into the bourgeoisie and the working class, and social contradictions have begun to form.

In addition, the gap between the rich and the poor, urban population expansion, overcrowded housing, environmental pollution and other disadvantages are beginning to appear.

The monster released by Li Yan himself is obviously out of Li Yan's control. Li Yan can't guess what kind of impact it will have on the economy, politics, culture, military, technology, productivity and environment of human society. .

The only thing Li Yan can do is try to guide in a good direction.

For example:

Li Yan has now proposed the concept of environmental protection, and strongly encourages the development of green energy, such as electric energy, water energy, solar energy, wind energy and so on.

To be more specific, such as cars and trains, Li Yan guides researchers to develop electric energy.

As for agriculture, taking advantage of the fact that petrochemical fertilizer agriculture has not yet appeared, Li Yan first proposed the agricultural model of later generations in Cuba, that is, ecological agriculture. To put it bluntly, it is a large-scale reduction of petrochemical products in agriculture. The natural cycle of land and nature maintains soil fertility and increases food production. The specific method is the integration of planting and breeding.

only--

Li Yan can also guide as much as possible, and Li Yan doesn't know what the society will look like in the end.

By the way, all these things Li Yan did invisibly increased Li Yan's prestige, so that Li Xiu could only stand at Li Yan's feet and look up to Li Yan.

In addition, Li Xiu does not have as much aura as Li Cun, and his crown prince is not like Li Cun's crown prince, which has been carried on him since he was a child, but because Li Yan changed the inheritance model and let him pick it up. arrived.

Therefore, Li Xiu behaved very humbly, respected Li Yan from the bottom of his heart, and completely obeyed all of Li Yan's arrangements.

Soon, Li Yan found that he and Li Xiu seemed to cooperate better—Li Xiu had no intention of getting rid of Li Yan's influence, but completely followed the path Li Yan planned for him. Regulation Cao Sui means.

Soon after, Li Yan began to feel that it seemed better for Li Xiu to inherit his throne than Li Cun.
