Douluo See You For a Long Time

Chapter 4 Blue River City

After Cheng Ying landed, he did not enter the village immediately. Instead, he sent his own flying insects to conduct reconnaissance. He now knows that he has traveled through it at least twice. The first time he should have achieved quite good results, but the second time he was He was thrown into this prehistoric world where memories would be erased, but he had the previous foundation. Although the extraordinary power and memory would be erased, the biological transformation and part of the technological power could be retained, so his current body was very abnormal.

Not only can it change into the appearance of most species, it can also release flies, mosquito-sized flying insects, which are very convenient for detection, and it will not hurt even if it is killed.

Below the third level, few people can notice this kind of secret observation. Chengying mainly wants to learn the common language of this world.

He also learned some common languages ​​in the Glacier City, but the pronunciation of kobolds and other primitive tribes is not standard, and they also have many of their own coined words. In addition, their society is too primitive, and many relatively developed societies can only speak it. They don't know the vocabulary that appears, or they don't even mention it in daily life.

In addition to learning universal skills, he also observes the habits of these races. The Earth Spirit race he disguises as may have some quirks, but if he doesn't even know some common sense and completely violates the characteristics of a race, it will definitely be exposed.

Cheng Ying is quite good at this aspect of disguise. Although he doesn't know why, he finds that he can learn everything very quickly and his thinking is very quick, just like the academic masters he has seen in his previous life, and even more exaggerated than that. I wonder if I am possessed by Einstein or Newton. I can learn everything with just a few clicks.

In his previous life, learning a foreign language was as difficult as killing him, but now it seems to come naturally. After listening to it a few times, he found a sense of the language, and his photographic memory allowed him to quickly become proficient in this common language. usage of.

He didn't know that before he came to the ancient continent, he had colonized countless planets with tulips. The indigenous languages ​​there were all kinds of strange. He led the land reclamation team to reclaim various planets, so he had to learn and become familiar with the languages ​​there. It’s very difficult, but as you get more exposure, you will find that no matter what race you are, as long as you communicate through sounds, there are only a few ideas for creating language. It is very difficult to learn a new language at the beginning, but the more you learn, the easier it is to learn new languages. The language will be easier.

After he mastered the common language, Chengying stopped lurking, disguised himself as a goblin, and drove a noisy car to this remote village.

His imitation of the Earth Spirit Tribe was flawless, at least the people in the village couldn't tell the difference. Ninety percent of the people here were of the Earth Spirit Tribe, most of the rest were orcs, and the rest were from other races.

Cheng Ying found a shop and changed himself into an outfit suitable for an extraordinary person. Then he said goodbye to this village and headed to a big city. Don't try to obtain extraordinary power in a small place like this. Although Cheng Ying didn't have any Extraordinary energy, but it is not difficult to obtain it. As long as you implant some artificial meridians in the body and inhale the extraordinary power floating in the air, you can simulate an extraordinary person.

However, in essence, his body is still a mortal body and cannot be broken through practice.

The information he learned from this village gave him a rough idea of ​​the internal situation of the Blue River Alliance. This is a small alliance dominated by the Earth Spirit Tribe. Because it is located in a remote place, there are no external enemies, and because it has no special products, compared to other The alliance or kingdom is much poorer, so there are no strong people willing to stay here. The most powerful one is a demigod, who is in the middle of the fourth level.

After reaching the fourth level, you will have your own title. At the early stage of the fourth level, you are called a legend. In the middle stage of the fourth level, he is called a demigod.

The fourth level is the spiritual position.

This is the highest level that a normal extraordinary person can reach. The higher level is the holy position. However, the gap between this level and the previous levels is too big and cannot be made up by quantity. Just one point is enough to explain the difference between the two. huge gap. The Saint has almost unlimited energy. It can be said that he can squander his energy at will, ensuring that his output power is at his maximum limit at all times.

With this alone, they are already superior to all living beings, not to mention that they can also master the laws and the power of time and space to a certain extent. Human beings are so miserable in this world largely because human beings do not have own holy throne.

Among all races, quite a few have their own holy status, so they can occupy a position and easily dominate humans.

Some powerful races even have more than one saint, and even have high-level saints and innate saints above them. The gap between these levels is like heaven and earth, and it is almost impossible to make up for the gap between these levels with quantity. .

This is why Cheng Ying does not believe that Glacier City can survive the rise of mankind. What's the use of them no matter how strong they develop? You will always face stronger enemies. The accumulation of a city is never possible. Let an entire race rise.

Although Cheng Ying's current body is powerful and most legends are no match for him, facing the holy throne, he is still as weak as an ant, so he still keeps a low profile as much as possible, reduces his sense of existence, and constantly secretly Develop and accumulate human power.

In the Blue River Alliance, collecting knowledge related to extraordinary power is naturally a part of accumulating strength.

At present, the Blue River Alliance is stable internally, and there are no opportunities that can be exploited. If there is an internal dispute over the successor, Cheng Ying can also try to get involved, secretly influence, and finally control the alliance behind the scenes.

But the Blue River Alliance is now quite peaceful, the ruler is still young, his position is very stable, and the evidence within the alliance is very stable. As a result, he can only choose a relatively peaceful way to integrate.

Because of the alliance's weakness and poverty, the talents who can join the alliance are constantly losing. Although they attach great importance to education and are very attentive to the technology that the Earth Spirit Tribe is good at, and have invested a lot of resources, they still cannot retain their talent loss.

The identity Cheng Ying prepared for himself was that of a genius Earthling engineer. Among this race that values ​​technology, an engineer with a strong body and rich knowledge would have a status that would not be much lower than that of an extraordinary person. If he had His technical characteristics, unique research ideas, and even higher status than many extraordinary people.

In this league with a serious brain drain, no one will refuse the addition of such a talented engineer.

Blue River City is a city built on a river. The river is hundreds of kilometers wide, making the river flow extremely gently, as calm as the surface of a lake. Only when leaves fall into the river can you see the actual flow of the river. It is flowing slowly, which also results in many high-quality ports on both sides of the river. Blue River City, which is built on a huge island in the middle of the river, has high-quality ports in all directions, and can easily access the entire alliance upstream and downstream. All goods are the trade hub in the alliance.

Naturally, it became the capital of the alliance and the most prosperous city. Cheng Ying took a ship and came to this city in the middle of the river. There were tall chimneys in the city. The whine of steam and the roar of metal filled the city day and night. After all, the air quality is comparable to that of London back in the day. All residents have the habit of carrying air filtering devices with them, and goggles are almost standard equipment here.

The technology here is probably at the level of the 18th and 19th centuries, but there are many black technologies, making it look like a steampunk world.

Cheng Ying found one of the most magnificent buildings in the city, a tower that constantly sprays steam. This is the energy center of the city. This strange city does not use electricity as its energy source, but builds a magnificent tower. , extremely high quality heavy water is stored inside the tower.

Heavy water is not suitable for use in reactors, but is an extraordinary substance with a density more than fifty times that of water. This heavy water is the energy that maintains the operation of the city. There are two huge water conservancy energy stations on the north and south sides of the city. , in the center is a thermal energy station. The steam engine drives the water pump to pump heavy water into the tower, just like the water tower that humans have used. However, the water tower is used to provide water to thousands of households, and this energy The towers provide energy to the city.

After filling it with water, it is equivalent to storing huge gravitational potential energy in the tower. This energy is stored in the pipes. When using the energy, as long as the valve is opened, the ultra-high-pressure heavy water will drive various mechanical rotations. , becoming the source of power for the entire city. As for how to bill the use of this energy, it is naturally very simple, that is, billing is based on flow. The energy unit here is not the number of kilowatt hours of electricity we use, but the number of liters.

Moreover, the charges for using flow rates at different heights are also different. After all, the pressure is also different at different heights, so the billing water meter is installed on the return side. In this way, if you want to cheat, It is impossible to dig a big pit and intercept a larger amount of energy at the bottom of the pit.

After Chengying walked around the city for a few times, he had to admit that this was a fairly complete energy system. It relied on the extremely dense heavy water to maintain the operation of such an energy system. If ordinary energy was used, As for water, a water tower thousands of meters high may have to be built to meet the power requirements of some large machinery.

He was not in a hurry to show off his identity as an engineer. The industrial system in Blue River City was very different from what he had seen in his previous life. It took some time for him to change his thinking. The same strange way of using energy was not a problem for Cheng Ying. , it can also be regarded as an inspiration.

Although he believes that electricity is still more convenient to use than this gravitational potential energy, in terms of energy storage, this method is obviously better than electricity.

As long as heavy water is stored in a water tower, their gravitational potential energy will hardly be lost and stored for hundreds or thousands of years. As long as the water tower cloth is broken, there will be no loss of this energy.

Electric energy is different. The energy stored in chemical fuel batteries will be consumed little by little over time. Therefore, modern humans rely on huge reservoirs to store electric energy. During the low periods of electricity consumption, water is pumped up to higher levels. In the reservoir, when it is needed, the water in the reservoir will be released again to generate electricity. Even the loss of this storage method is much smaller than using various batteries.

After spending a few days getting familiar with the city's industrial system, Cheng Ying came to the energy central tower and started his application.

The Earth Spirit receptionist was sitting listlessly in his office chair, almost falling asleep with his head on one hand. Although this company is already a well-paid company in China, it is still difficult to retain talents. Recruitment announcements It has been more than a month since the application was sent out, but there are still very few responders. The few who came to apply were also crooked, failed to meet the requirements at all, and were kicked out.

Suddenly I saw a deskmate walking in, and the dozing interviewer suddenly woke up.

"Are you here to apply for a job? Do you have an engineer certificate? You must have at least a second-level engineer certificate. If not, please come back!"

Cheng Ying shook his head: "I haven't had time to take the test yet, but you should have a temporary test point here! It doesn't matter if you don't have one. The test questions can't be obtained anyway, so I can take the test on the spot."

"Huh? That's much more difficult. In addition to the written test, you also have to perform actual operations in the factory. Are you sure you have this confidence?

If you break the equipment, uu read books; but you have to pay full compensation. Do you know where this place is? It is related to the lifeblood of the entire city's energy. If you make an operational error in practice and cause damage to the equipment, even if you sell it, you won't be able to compensate. "

"It doesn't matter, I don't lack money. Even if your equipment is really damaged, I can still afford it." After saying that, Lan Nuo took out a bag of gold. Although this is a world with extraordinary power, gold The value is still quite high. On the one hand, gold itself is a precious judicial material. On the other hand, most creatures also like this metal very much, at least humanoid creatures, so this thing can be used as a general equivalent. .

"You're still applying here if you're not short of money?" The interviewer rummaged through the table and threw out a set of test questions: "How much can be done in one hour? If you can't finish it, it's wrong. Only those with a score of 80 or above are eligible to continue. Exam later.”

He couldn't understand why people who were not short of money would come to apply for jobs? Those who have some money and ability in the Blue River Alliance are all trying their best to immigrate to a larger alliance or a more prosperous kingdom.

Is it possible that there are really people who believe the official propaganda and are ready to devote their lives to this decadent and backward federation? At least the interviewer and Lao Xianyu didn't believe there could be such a person. He was still stunned when he suddenly saw a few pieces of paper handed to him. He looked at the time and saw that only twenty minutes had passed. For a while, he even started I wonder if the other party is here to cause trouble. In such a short period of time, I'm afraid not everything was deceived.
