Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 95 Changes in Jialan

Tiger got up early today.

The sun in the east had just barely revealed half of his body, and he set off from his newly built home to Beigang.There are already bustling passers-by on the road. Some of them are construction workers not far away, some are ironworks workers catching the first boat from North Port, and there are also islanders who get up early in the morning to cut grass.

Tiger headed north, greeting passers-by in a friendly manner.

Today is the day when the first batch of merino sheep from the wool merchants arrived at Jialan Island. As the main person in charge of the ranch, he must personally check to ensure that each sheep is a healthy and strong breed capable of producing high-quality wool.The adults in the deacon's office took special care of this matter before they left, and it is related to the future development of Jialan Island.

Tiger didn't understand these things, but he knew that with the help of the wool merchants, the pastures of Gloria Island could finally be filled with the sheep they should have, instead of just a hundred sheep in the empty grasslands like before. Wandering leisurely and leisurely.

Jialan is now in a period of rapid evolution, and you can see a different scenery almost every day.A brand new road paved with cement has been completed, and carriages that have never appeared before on Gloria Island are beginning to appear on Gloria Island. These are the merchants who come to the island to do business.

The commercial area planned when Huang Jiang first arrived is now overcrowded and decorated with a variety of shops.The newly opened bars and restaurants saved workers from spending extra money on ferry tickets to Jimu Island for drinking. As workers’ families moved in, clothing stores, food stores and grocery stores also began to appear here. Jialan people I can finally say goodbye to the small shop run by the village aunt at home that ran out of stock at some point.

As the flow of people continues to increase, the shipping group has also opened the first route on Gloria Island, from Gloria Island to Jimu Island. This is a route led by Joyce after the safety rating came out. This allowed Gloria Island to officially get rid of its status as an isolated island in the Federation and officially return to the embrace of the Federation.

Jialan Steel Group, which brought all this, officially started construction not long after Deacon left. Tiger could see a steady stream of steel being transported from Cycad Island every day. It stayed in the warehouse in Beigang overnight and then was transferred straight to Luweihua. collar.These are orders from Luweihua Collar. This is the order that Governor Luweihua made when he visited not long ago. It can be said that it is Jiagang's iron rice bowl.

But to say that the biggest change is probably the power grid that is currently being laid across Jialan.

Shortly after the lighting experiment was completed, the first power station on Jialan Island and the first AC power station in the Federation was completed.The person in charge of the project, Nicholas, performed his first alternating current "magic" on Jialan Island, and Tiger was fortunate enough to watch this performance on the spot.

The arc of blue light danced on Mr. Nicholas's fingertips, like a legendary ancient magician playing with the weapons of the gods.

This is lightning!It is nature's most powerful weapon, the weapon used by gods to punish the world!
Although Nicholas repeatedly emphasized that this was science, many people still looked at him with admiration.This troubled Nicholas very much. He expressed his disgust with this kind of gaze many times in public. He was committed to using science to illuminate human life, rather than being worshiped or revered as a god.

Tiger doesn't understand this.Within days of that performance, Tiger installed electric lights in his home. Although he had to pay extra for electricity, the lights were brighter and cost slightly more than kerosene lamps. , which is why many budget-conscious islanders are hesitant.

However, as the president of General Electric, Toles came forward and said that electricity in the future will not be limited to lighting. They are developing new machines that use electricity. He believes that in the near future, people will be able to use automatic fan machines at home. , automatic singing machines, automatic heating machines and automatic cooling machines, Towers assures everyone that all of this is theoretically possible.

Of course, this verbal promise was not enough to sway the shrewd and stubborn people, so before leaving, Huang Jiang found highly respected people on Jialan Island or who were well-known among the people and asked them to take the lead in promoting electricity.Although everyone was still timid in the face of such new things, Huang Jiang was the one who completely changed Glory Island after all. They were grateful to this young man, so they naturally agreed.

So under the leadership of these people and driven by the herd mentality, the electricity promotion on Gloria Island was carried out in an orderly manner.Joyce finally truly witnessed the advantages of alternating current that Huang Jiang mentioned to him that day.Although Gloria Island is not big, if DC power stations are used, at least three are needed to cover the entire island, but if AC power is used, only one is used.And according to Nikolai, as long as a transformer is used to raise the voltage to a high enough level, alternating current can even be transmitted across the entire Ramhuadan Island, which reduces the area occupied. Land is the most valuable asset in the city.

Joyce finally made up his mind, found Nicholas, and agreed to join the cause of promoting alternating current in a private capacity.He originally wanted to find Towers, but Mr. Towers is now busy with a new career.

A few days ago, Thors' friend Dalem came to the island. He came for Huangjiang's investment.Now, Thors and Dalem are riding on the road in the east of Gloria Island. There are not many people there yet, and the road is empty all day long.Dailem installed his newly developed internal combustion engine on a bicycle, allowing the bicycle to move forward quickly without the use of pedals.

This machine, named an internal combustion engine two-wheeled vehicle, is currently only able to run at half the speed of a carriage. Its theoretical speed can be higher, but the overall wooden structure limits its speed. Recently, Thors is planning to use steel Build an identical car.But Daimler's ideas don't stop there. He wants to use his small internal combustion engines in a wider range of fields, thereby severely slapping his partners in the face.

Now, Daimler has set his sights on the carriage.Joyce heard that the young inventor was considering the feasibility of mounting an internal combustion engine on a horse-drawn carriage.Joyce is also very concerned about their project. His keen business sense tells him that once this machine is created, the history of human transportation will usher in a huge change after the birth of the train.

And such changes will go deeper than trains.

Because such a machine is enough to enter every household.

As long as its price is low enough.

Joyce looked down at the contract. Huang Jiang gave it to him before leaving. As long as he wanted to invest in General Electric, he only had to sign it.

Joyce handed the contract to the lawyer on the side and picked up the coffee on the table.

Looking at the ever-changing Gloria Island outside the window, he couldn't help but sigh:

Gloria Island is truly a magical land.

　Ask for collection!Ask for a recommendation!
