Black sails

Chapter 141 CXL. Technology Explosion

"What age are you, and I'm still smoking traditional cigarettes."

Renn found interesting gadgets in this hotel. They were composed of multiple parts of pipes, bottles, and pouches, glass and metal hookahs, and there were a variety of filtered water flavors to choose from, including various fruits, coffee, Mint, even creamy.

He bought one from an Argonian boss and smoked it, named it York Fourth Generation Water Country Fontaine, and despised Micah who smoked traditional cigarettes.

"Opening Lightning Strike."

Claude was worried. When he was in Linden City, he didn't get to know these people in depth. Now that he thought about it, it was a miracle that he could complete the job. Only a few pillars were reliable. This disaster was probably very dangerous.

Fen quickly browsed the newspaper, handed it to Li Site, and observed his reaction. He vaguely felt that the external force that promoted the explosion of technology might be visitors from outside the world, including Li Site.

"Let me see."

Li Site shook the newspaper twice, and he could only vaguely recognize the words on it, but he could barely understand it.

Oil lamps that do not require fuel are making headlines.

Li Site seriously suspected that the guy who wrote the copy was the same editor who worked on the last train.

【News of the century! How on earth does an oil lamp light up without fuel? This is not a magic stone. It is a portable gas lamp sold at a low price, whether it is for camping outdoors or indoor living...]

The world has entered the age of navigation.

In the big cities in Yalan, the infrastructure is completely built up by magic energy industry. Street lights, street lighting, and all kinds of daily life all rely on magic energy materials.

After all, the consumption level of the major cities in the most powerful country in the Western Continent is not comparable to that of the barren outfields, such as the Principality of Bema.

But it has big shortcomings.

Urbanization has the benefits of urbanization, but it also has disadvantages.

That is, all resources are tilted towards the center of the region, and small towns have suffered serious population losses. The high cost and high consumption of magic energy industry have made it impossible to radiate outwards. Big cities are becoming more and more prosperous, and small places are becoming more and more crowded. It is a Matthew effect. Belong to yes.

Li Site took a deep breath, this would cause a big problem.

Micah's head came closer.

He was not interested in the content at all, but the picture accompanying the lamp was something he had thought about day and night, and even imagined as a substitute when visiting the brothel, the famous musician Qili.

The prints outlined by the master have a high artistic content, and the beautiful woman elegantly holds the lamp.

It’s similar to product endorsement. I found a national goddess to promote it.

Of course, this kind of gas lamp also needs to be replenished with raw materials. The newspaper also mentioned the kitchen reform, which will recruit volunteers in some towns not involved in the magic industry to install gas pipes for every household for free, whether it is night lighting, This new energy can be used for hot water for cooking and bathing.

This world has the concept of underground water pipes. It was pointed out in the newspaper that gas pipes are similar to drinking water pipes and are also billed through meters.

Every volunteer can get a beautiful desk calendar from the musician, which is a bonus.

"We have to use gas now."

Micah looked at Qili's pictures and just wanted to find an alternative to catch crabs. Unfortunately, he was in a large wetland. There were relatively few related businesses here and no prostitutes would go to such a ghost place to carry out activities.

There is a lot of extended content in the newspaper. The top political leaders of Yalan have also decided to build a model city to test-operate this new energy within half a year, adapt a popularization strategy that best suits Yalan’s national conditions, and spread the results to the whole country within a year.

Fen was not too shocked by the news. He understood the principle of gas heat release very well. Although Fen's understanding of this field was not as good as that of electrical engineering professionals who stand on the shoulders of giants, it was still 100% better than that of the earth. Of the ninety-nine people.

He has also published a paper on making gas tanks to improve the daily life of Pedan people, and also proposed underground suction gas extraction technology.

However, due to Pedan's political situation, his paper was shelved.

This technology did not surprise Fen. What really surprised him was that proposing a theory and completely popularizing it are two different things. This shows that Yalan’s senior management has mastered extremely mature mining technology and has also cultivated technical workers who can work on site. , now that the results have been made public, it means that it has already reached a terrifying scale, allowing the popularization movement to be fully launched.

Alan has been holding back a big wave of emotions and decided to do it all recently?

Li Site was thinking about another problem.

The comprehensive strength of a country is not only the external intensity of force, but also the internal intensity, whether the ideology is unified, whether there are internal conflicts and other unstable factors.

This can be said to be a moral policy that strengthens the country and the people, and the standard of living has improved a lot.

The anti-imperialists in Alanya have nothing to say. The emperor's prestige has once again increased, and those five dogs must be at the height of their power.

"Why are you still smoking? Gundam will drive over in a few days. Do you understand the ship-cutting sword?"

Li Site snatched Ren En's hookah.

This hookah seemed to have some tobacco leaves, a specialty of the Great Wetland, and Renn felt a little dizzy.

"What Gundam? Brother Sha is here. He was killed in one blow. What is there to say?"

Ren was dismissive.

"Thank you."

Morrison is a ruthless person. Even the stew of the swamp, which has an indescribable taste, was completely eaten, and the black insect skewers were crunchy and crunchy when bitten into his mouth.

"Fuck it, drink more wine. Drinking will help you sleep. Get up at six o'clock tomorrow and be on your way."

Li Site gave the captain's order.

The visibility in this rain forest is not very good at night, and there are many dangerous nocturnal animals. It is very dangerous to travel at night. Everyone is ordered to drink up and go to bed quickly.

This newspaper was last week. Although it did not mention the trial operation of the train with passengers, it must be very soon. We must reach the destination before the end of the third and fourth waves. We are also rushing to go to the southeastern provinces to extort money. A man named Cypher.

It's late. The official operation has started. Not only are the people on the bus poor, but even some wealthy businessmen can cut tens of thousands of gold dragons?

If you can't get the money out, you go back to Paradise Port in despair, without Taylor to protect you, the Skull and Bones Twins will jump up, and they will have to fight for the petty profit of the protection fee. Wouldn't they become garbage pirates again?

At this time, there was a man sitting in the corner of the tavern, covered with a dark brown burqa. The upper half of his face was covered by shadows, and only the lower half of his face was exposed. His chin was full of stubble and his nose was straight.

He has been paying attention to this group of people since the previous dispute over seat grabbing.

There are many bounty hunters active in the southern wetlands.

Since this place is completely chaotic, it is a good place for many fugitives to hide and take refuge, so naturally there are bounty hunters.

How much money can you make by killing monsters and selling materials? You still have to kill people. Not only can you legally plunder the opponent's property, but you can also make money by taking the head of the Cross Alliance.

It's not that the reward money comes from the Cross Alliance, but that the client, for example, if someone from the wasteland oasis country Vadinia is caught, the money is still paid by the country's government.

The Cross Alliance is a platform organization for arresting all criminals in the Western Continent.

And this hunter is a medium-level expert who only hunts "big things" with hundreds of golden dragons.

"Is it the target?"

The little creature standing on his ear came out of the hood and asked in a low voice. It was called a goblin in the Western Continent. It was less than the average length of a human index finger. It had four translucent wings like a butterfly and had growth. Feathered.

Some people call this kind of miniature race the Feather Clan, and some people call it the Goblin, because they are too small and elusive, making them difficult to detect.
