Yuan Shen: After the emperor abdicates, I will be in charge of Liyue

For example, businessmen from other countries and fools who have to taste Tevat specialties.

It is undoubtedly a great decision to use a steamship as the opening ceremony. The huge iron ship floats in the port, and the shocking siren makes visitors from all over the world show different expressions.

The most representative one is the ugly faces of the Mond merchants who can't restrain their smiles.

As early as one and a half months ago, Mond and Liyue signed a complete contract. After Qin returned to Mond, the content of the contract was also disclosed to Liyue's nobles and rich merchants.

It's just that although the contract was signed, and the steam engine and the prototype were seen, she hadn't seen the real thing for sale, and the Mond people had no concept of these new creations. I am very puzzled by the contents of "policy discounts related to the import of advanced technology". I can't think of what can be counted as advanced technology, and I can't figure out what kind of technology can make the Knights sign a comprehensive trade contract.

Although Tivat's financial knowledge is not very advanced, they also know that comprehensive trade means that Liyue has the key to open the domestic market of Mond.

This is a very dangerous thing for Mond, whose trade development and commodity diversity are not as good as Liyue.

So as soon as Qin received the invitation from Seven Stars, she summoned many merchants who were inclined to the Knights to come to Liyue.

This move has two purposes, one is to stabilize people's hearts and avoid being used by other forces.

Now this purpose has been achieved, because after seeing the ironclad they can't take their eyes off,

Speed ​​is an extremely important part of trade. People with speed can take advantage of it no matter how slow they are.

And the second point is to let them learn some basic knowledge during the visit, so as not to be blinded in the following trade.

Liyue also saw this, and thoughtfully equipped technical instructors, and even gave Abedo and Lisa a vacation.

After all, these are big customers, so you can't treat them badly.

Just seeing the unbelievable and blank expression of the Mond people, Ai Yi suddenly flashed back a very long memory, so long that it can be traced back to another world.

The big brother who used to have top skills, after decades of changes, reunited with his apprentice again, but some of the skills of the apprentice have surpassed his own.

He has long forgotten the time, place, and characters, and he doesn't know whether the real atmosphere is his own perceptual illusion, but he still remembers the tragic and heroic old man.

"Don't let Liyue become like that."

Ai Yi said suddenly.

Keqing raised her head blankly: "What?"

At this moment, the two of them are standing on a high place, using the comparison of the size of the three ironclad ships docking at the port and the real scene of the port to modify the construction drawings of Liyue Port.

"What I mean is, don't let Liyue's technological development depend on archeology anymore."

Ke Qing said seriously: "I can't promise you, because I don't know what future generations will do, but during my tenure, I will definitely not let Liyue Gang relax."

"That's good." Ai nodded, then turned to look at the drawing in her hand, "How is the comparison?"

"Well...the data is not a problem, and it fully meets the safe operation standards, but from the look and feel...the current port is still a bit small to accommodate ironclad ships."

Keqing pressed her pen against her chin in distress: "Is it expansion... or simply building a few new ports?"

Ai Yi didn't answer, if Keqing can solve this matter, he won't increase the workload for himself... No, he won't deprive Keqing of the precious opportunity to accumulate experience.

But he still has a little doubt.

Ai Yi looked at the yellow helmet that Keqing was wearing, and the two ponytails exposed under the helmet, thought for a while, and walked around behind her quietly.

The head-on breeze passed through Keqing's hair, bringing a pleasant fragrance. Ai Yi suddenly stretched out his hand from the back of her neck, untied the strap of the helmet, and lifted the whole hat.

Keqing's body froze, but she didn't evade: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my hat?"

"There is no hat..." Ai Yi looked at the two purple protrusions under the helmet, and said with a puzzled face, "But what is the structure of your cat ears, why can't they collapse?"

Ke Qing was taken aback for a moment, then turned around abruptly, and said seriously: "That's hair, not cat ears!"

Then she stared at Ai Yiyi fiercely for a while, her face turned rosy, she seemed to feel that this action was a bit intimate, and she turned around silently: "Put it on for me quickly!"

"Oh."

Chapter 111 During the Exhibition

In addition to ironclad ships, many steam machines were also shown at the exposition.

From the inside to the outside, it is divided into three layers according to different functions.

The outermost layer has the largest number, which are single-use machines for everyone, such as steam tillers, steam tractors, steam tricycles and the like.

It's just that the smaller the machine, the higher the price.

After all, the smaller the size of the steam engine, the higher the technology required, and the size of the steam machine is generally reduced from the fuel furnace. The smaller the furnace, the higher the fuel requirements.

The latter is still due to the existence of water and fire elements in the Tivat continent, and the blessing of many water and fire materials as fuels, otherwise pure coal burning would not be able to reduce the fuel furnace at all.

The second layer is second in number, and it is the assembly line facilities for workshops, such as steam weaving machines, steam forging machines, steam stamping machines, etc.

The third tier, the least numerous, is munitions for states and armed groups.

For example, a steam-charged cannon doubled in size, and a pressurized cannon mounted on a six-wheeled vehicle.

A steam-charged cannon twice the size, a pressurized cannon mounted on an eight-wheeled vehicle.

A gigantic steam pressurized gun that is three times larger in size, and a mobile gigantic pressurized projectile cannon with a chassis that can be deployed.

This kind of behavior of zooming in on one size and changing the skin to use it as a new product, if it is used in the martial arts exhibition of later generations, it is estimated that people will spit shit out of it.

Now someone has started spraying, and he is a master who is good at designing firearms.

The old man looked at a row of cannon barrels, trembling with anger: "You guys use such a good material to make cannon barrels? It's a waste of money!"

"There's not even a scope with a rangefinder. What do you use to aim? With your thumb?"

"Why are the two gun barrels not even the same size? Isn't this the same model? How do you measure the size? Do you measure it with your head!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly!

The designer on the side shivered and didn't dare to speak, because he was a steam engine maker, and he could only fly bricks with force, and he really didn't understand cannons.

The younger craftsman hurriedly stopped the master: "Calm down, Master Luo! Calm down! You still have to attend the Immortal Fair. When you meet the immortals, just tell the immortals how unprofessional these people are."

"Wait! When I come out from the Dianxian Society, I must put you all into the barrel and shoot it out!"

But this era is still simple and honest after all, and those who know how to do it are already mad, but the people who don't know how to do it are still very novel.

Seeing these cannon barrels, and the occasional cannonball fired, the huge power of the white waves splashed on the distant sea, everyone was so amazed that they could not close their legs.

Next to these machines, there are a large number of selected researchers happily introducing them to interested tourists.

Facts have proved that researchers are not all bald and have dark circles under their eyes. They are miserable all day long, and they look like they want to blow up the laboratory when they mention their research projects.

At least researchers in this era are still full of motivation and motivation for their own research projects. There are three reasons for this.

[-]. Ai Yi has taught them a lot of analogy knowledge through drawings, and drawn a relatively clear path for them, making it easier for them to design.

Second, the steam engine itself is not something complicated in principle, and there will be no hard work after several years of research and finding that the direction is wrong.

[-]. In this era, there is a lot of waste to be done. As long as the cost is well controlled, any piece of machinery can increase productivity. As long as it is not outrageous, there is basically no problem that no one cares about the design, that is, it is easy to realize.

Oh, and there is one more reason that is not a hard reason.

Ai Yi's money is enough, and now the steam research institute has turned into the appearance of the immortals in the past, one or two of them are desperately working for Ai Yi, and they feel that they have earned money.

Most of the visitors were amazed, except for one faction.

Fools.

Dadalia looked at the gigantic gigantic steam-charged projectile. After warming up, the latter fired a cannonball with a bang.

The projectile cannon has a long range and the shell speed is fast, so everyone didn't see where the shell was, but saw a large area of ​​steam overflowing.

But Dadalia could see it, and his gaze closely followed the cannonball, watching the latter fall at a place of about 2000 meters, smashing the small boat full of stones and floating on the sea to pieces.

High waves splashed on the sea surface, and shattered stones and hull fragments also rippled the nearby water surface.

"Oh~"

Everyone exclaimed in unison, but Dadalia couldn't.

Because he didn't notice any signs of extraordinary energy flow on this cannon.

And the shot just now was completely capable of destroying Kanria's cultivator head-on, directly smashing it into parts, the kind that couldn't be put together.

And just such a blow was issued by a machine without any extraordinary power involved.

Although Dadalia himself can kill the cultivator with one move, although there are many advanced varieties of the cultivator, it seems that they all completely crush this cannon.

But the cost of cultivating machines is extremely expensive, or the cost of any extraordinary equipment is very expensive. The most expensive department among fools is the puppet R&D department. Resources are depleted, not a drop left.

And Dadalia's own martial arts is a miracle that cannot be copied, and there are not many people in the whole world who have his talent and his adventures.

But one... a thing without extraordinary power, such a cheap machine, has touched the threshold of this power.

This gave Dadalia a sense of inexplicable absurdity.

If the cannon is better than him, why should he use his martial arts?

Dadalia walked out of the inner layer with a frown, stopped beside his colleague, and said, "That was terrifying just now. It seems that we underestimated the power of ordinary equipment."

Rosalind shook her head.

She came from a better background and had also studied in Sumeru. She is knowledgeable and her vision is naturally wider than that of Dadalia.

She could see the true meaning of the steam engine.

"The steam engine is not what you think. The bigger the volume, the more powerful it is. In fact, when this thing grows to a certain level, the gains outweigh the losses."

"But you're right, we did underestimate this thing."

Dadalia raised his eyebrows: "For example?"

The steam engine cannot become the supreme force, but it can greatly increase productivity.

It can be the cornerstone of supreme force.

But Rosalin didn't answer. She knew that the young master would not understand the answer, so she just replied indifferently: "I will write a long report on this matter. If you want to be responsible, I can tell you."

When Dadalia heard this, he immediately lost interest, and he stepped back decisively: "That's better, I'll go and see that cannon again, I don't know if I can buy one with the remaining funds, if necessary Feel free to ask for help, as long as I can receive it in time, I will definitely help."

Chapter 112 The end of the era

Dadalia ran away in a hurry, and couldn't wait to send money to Liyue.

Rosalind continued to look at the assembly line of the stamping machine.
