In this world, the sky is dark, and a few pitch-black crows are "croaking" in the sky.

The sun never rises in the east, here is eternal night, only a starry sky, emitting a dim light overhead.

In order to adapt to the low-light environment, everyone's eyes grow bigger than the real world, especially girls, just like the characters in the anime world, the eyes are big and beautiful. The main reason is that the larger the pupil, the more sensitive the perception of light.

"In the age of steam, there is no day, a strange world..." Zhang Yuan let out a foul breath in his chest.

He has been living here quietly for 18 years. At the beginning, just like the last world, he had a certain tendency towards autism. However, with the awakening of self-awareness, this condition has completely improved.

Looking up at the starry sky in the distance, he easily recognized the so-called "Polaris".

The starry sky here is completely different from that on the earth. "Polaris" is just a similar term in astronomy, which is commonly used in navigation.

There are still no supernatural powers or magic in this world. His so-called "gold finger" is a very good nobleman with a strong body and some mechanical design drawings about the steam age.

Well, apart from having a good background, this kind of "golden finger" is really better than nothing. Zhang Yuan even felt that all kinds of knowledge in his mind were much more effective than mechanical drawings.

He turned his head and looked at the crescent moon directly above. The shadow on the moon was actually because the earth itself blocked the sunlight.

"In other words, this planet is still a sphere, so the outline of the moon covered by it is in the shape of an arc."

Since there is no sunlight, the population that this piece of land can support is not large. Based on the information that is known so far, the total number of continents in the entire world is only 100 million people.

For the vast majority of people, life is not good.

There is a small globe on the table, made by Zhang Yuan according to the local navigation images, half dark and half bright. Due to the harsh environment of the planet itself, the area that humans have explored is only about one-tenth.

"There is no day in this place, only night, so there is only one possibility... This planet has been tidally locked by the central star, so the sun-facing side is always day, and the other side is always night. We humans live in the night .”

Tidal locking is a very common phenomenon in astronomy. For example, the moon always faces the earth with the same side. The time for a tidally locked celestial body to rotate around its own axis is equivalent to the revolution period.

So, this planet is actually illuminated, at least half of the area is illuminated.

So, why don't humans live in the light belt of the planet?

The reason is that the planet is too close to the central star, and the side that receives the light is extremely hot. Humans have no way to survive in the light belt with high temperature, and can only live in the dark side where the temperature is not bad...

"What a miserable world!"

However, according to the logic of physical rules, there must be no shortage of such tragic civilizations in the universe...even if it is currently only a virtual world.

Zhang Yuan is thinking about how his arrival can change this civilization...

For him, it is already a kind of habitual thinking.

"My lord, you should prepare for the ball hosted by the Duke of Varta...the time has come." The old deacon interrupted Zhang Yuan's thoughts, showing a unique aristocratic etiquette.

"Okay, thank you for your reminder." Zhang Yuan nodded, and under the service of his servants, he put on his dress and leather shoes, and then quickly boarded a steam locomotive.

In this world, due to his good reincarnation, he already has the status of "Earl". His cheap father died a year ago due to a shipwreck, and then the Queen awarded Zhang Yuan the hereditary title... This should be regarded as part of the "Gold Finger", allowing him to live without hard work. live a very wealthy life.

Smoke came out from the engine, and the steam locomotive started, but it didn't tremble as expected, indicating that the steam locomotive here has been improved for many generations.

This is Boulder City, the most eastern city on the mainland, with a year-round temperature of about 24-26 degrees Celsius, which is very suitable for human habitation—the only drawback is that there is no sunshine.

The warm ocean currents from the western light belt bring a steady stream of fish and algae, which are also the source of food for the residents of the city.

Starting from Boulder City, the further west we go, the closer we get to the light, and the hotter the weather.

Five hundred kilometers to the west is the junction of light and darkness—the twilight zone of this planet. In the twilight zone, the temperature has reached as high as 40 degrees Celsius. Humans settled in this area and can barely survive, but it is quite uncomfortable. On the contrary, many animals and plants can live happily.

No matter how unsuitable the twilight zone is for survival, with sunlight, all kinds of plants can grow naturally, so it has become a very important plant production base in the west of the continent.

Some not-so-wealthy people, as well as all kinds of slaves, endured the high temperature and farmed in the twilight zone for a living. Zhang Yuan's family also has a small piece of territory in that area. Of course, he just knew about it and didn't go to see it himself.

On the contrary, starting from Boulder City, the further east you go, the colder the weather will be.

There are few continents on this planet, and the east is an endless ocean. The temperature is around minus 20 degrees all year round. The coldest place can reach minus one hundred degrees Celsius, forming a thick layer of ice, which is the so-called forbidden area for humans.

"call--"

Humans are so tough.

Zhang Yuan exhaled lightly, rubbed his hands, and shrugged his nose. He could smell the unique smell of burning coal from afar.

Coal, the most precious substance in a lightless world, means energy and light.

If there is no coal, there will be no industrial revolution, and without the industrial revolution, human life will be more miserable. At least for now, there are 100 million people living in the mainland and islands. It is said that in ancient times, the entire continent could only live in the millions.

The steam locomotive was moving slowly on the road. The road surface was paved with the dregs of coal burning mixed with asphalt, exuding a faint smell of sulfide.

There are people coming and going on the street, and the gas lamps on the side of the road are shining dimly. Many people cannot afford gas lamps at home, and the light source on the street is the only light source for them. Some children are doing their homework by the roadside.

Every household puts some bean sprouts-like plants in front of the door. This kind of plants that love yin can grow with a little gas lamp light source. For ordinary people, vegetables are precious, anyway, the light source is provided by the government, why not do it?

"Rum from the Gar Islands! And the freshest 'Antima' ingredients, you name it!"

"The grape grass that was just caught is fresh!"

Many vendors are doing business on the street. In this downtown area, food, wine, jewelry, and spices from different islands are all available, forming a false and prosperous picture.
