Deep Space Fleet

In the face of Anna's doubts, Zhang Yuan sighed. It was really effective to use technology to advance the whole world, but his efficiency was too slow.

It is too difficult to change the essence. Don't think that the emergence of the telegraph will allow humans to properly transition to the electrical age.

的 The land of this world is equivalent to only the Southeast Asian islands on the earth. Without searching for a new continent, it is impossible to break through the real upper bound of development with such a small amount of living space.

过 He took a globe and explained to Anna: "This is our planet, and more than 95% of the proven part is the ocean."

地球 This globe is divided into two halves, one half is light and the other half is dark.

Boulder City is located in the dark area of ​​the southern hemisphere, with a latitude of about 22.5 degrees south.

"Human beings urgently need more living space to be able to develop better. An area with light and suitable temperature can grow a lot of food and feed more people!"

而 "And the average temperature of this planet is too high, the places with light are too hot, and plants cannot grow in places without light. So ... where is such a suitable place to live?"

Zhang Yuan pointed at the two ends of the globe, first, the South Pole, and second, the North Pole.

The temperature in the north and south poles is lower than that in other areas, and there is a polar diurnal phenomenon. After a series of calculations, the temperature should be about 0-5 degrees Celsius. This temperature can live.

If a new continent can be found in the light strips of the north and south poles, the living conditions of human beings will undoubtedly change dramatically.

"Must go?" Anna didn't understand a little, why she ran out in search of a new continent in such a rich state of life. Even if she knew that her brother was an ambitious person, she still had difficulty understanding.

And, Antarctica, it's too far away!

世界 This world is not like the earth, and continents with large expanses can dock temporarily. Because the entire planet is locked by the tides, it is hot at one end and cold at the other, and hot and cold convection often produces big storms and tsunamis.

The longer you sail, the more likely you are to encounter a disaster.

Zhang Yuan smiled and didn't answer.

Uh ...

星星 The stars in the sky are fading away, destined to be a dark night ...

There are many people in the house, and the house is full of people. The burning gas lamp will illuminate the whole house. Zhang Yuan is entertaining at home with more than 80 guests, half of whom are scientists in the information industry, and some are celebrities, including some business giants with good personal relationships, plus some high-level government officials.

While they were eating and drinking, eating and drinking, laughing and laughing, they were also testing each other's business bottom line. The invisible smoke had permeated the air.

There is only one topic at the banquet-the telegram! No one even talked about the playboy's gossip. Some old men have heard such a magical thing, and they have a skeptical expression.

的 The food on the table is very exquisite. It is sourced from high-quality ingredients from all over the world. After the hands of the court chef, even some customers with a small appetite ate a lot.

Zhang Yuan stood in front and introduced the specific working principle of the telegram, including the economic growth that may be driven in the future and the expected profit.

"To sum up, it is a more reliable signal transmission tool, and it is not limited by the weather and the path."

In fact, these noble nobles did not catch the principle of the telegram. They did not understand the so-called transmitting antenna and Morse code. They are only interested. Anyone with a normal head knows what kind of changes this gadget will bring!

This is a real upheaval!

Unparalleled benefits, a huge, visible cake, all in front of him.

Her elder queen was reading this latest telegram, and her brows frowned and stretched. She has learned the truth of the news from her homing pigeons.

以往 In the past, it took 6 hours to communicate with another island using pigeons. Now, it takes less than half a second.

A new era has come, old businesses will be eliminated, and new industries will rise again.

However, all patents are held in Zhang Yuan's hands. It is not important that those scientists can share a little share, these smart people should be rewarded.

The stake in Zhang Yuan's hands is the big head, which means how much cake can be taken.

I think so, some nobles have held their breath, as if they saw a golden mountain that has not yet been excavated. There are a few old guys who are a little bit wry, and they are wondering, this young man doesn't seem to be married yet, can he make some articles and marry his daughter ...

Zhang Yuan finally said calmly: "... Of course, a new industry will necessarily require all-round cooperation. In terms of equipment and human resources, we need steel, copper, and engineers, whether universities , Or a steel smelter, should all be involved. On different islands, building signal receiving towers is costly, so our company is eager to seek more cooperation. "

"Here, I announce a decision."

For a while and a half, the room was quiet and terrible, everyone was waiting, Zhang Yuan announced.

"... I'm willing to transfer part of the stock right in exchange for a chance of ocean navigation!"

宣布 This one was unexpected!

After listening to Zhang Yuan's description of all the grand ambitions, many people unanimously raised an idea-he was crazy!

Ocean sailing? Exploring Antarctica? This is no longer an ambition category, but ... crazy!

Looking back, looking at the black on the globe, which means that large quantities have not yet been cultivated, or extremely dangerous areas, the old duke who has a little friendship with Zhang Yuan persuaded: "Her Count, you are still very young, your future is great, Why do things with risks that far outweigh the benefits? "

His voice has become serious: "Only those downcast aristocrats who have paranoia ~ www.readwn.com ~ will do so!"

Another scientist also stood up and persuaded, "Yes, Earl, actually, the idea was long ago. Someone explored parts of the Arctic 100 years ago. But they ended up with nothing. , The captain went bankrupt, and committed suicide on the way back ... Lord Earl, why do you do that? "

He said this because he really admired Zhang Yuan's talent.

"Oh! There is another fleet that once went to Antarctica, but they did not return. Or they encountered a big storm or a tsunami."

"Even if you find some small islands in Antarctica, it doesn't make any sense! It's too remote and no one wants to settle there unless you can find a whole continent! But this probability is very small!"

Most of the people below me didn't know what to say, and they started to stir. Many people are eager to get more information about the shareholding of the telegraph company, and their hearts are simply broken by Zhang Yuan's madness, but they can't show their faces, they can only stand up and pretend to be soothing.

But in the end there is some truth, it is an unknown.

There are those who exhort, those who are jealous, those who are secretly excited, and those who want Zhang Yuan to die madly in the shipwreck, and only a few are really worried about his physical health.

Zhang Yuan shook his head gently, this is, real ... human.

Uh ...
