Chapter 582 The Last Struggle

The changes in three years are really too big. It took Liu Mei five whole days to understand these changes clearly.

If I had to use one word to describe Liu Mei now, it would be—unbelievable!

In the world in the past, there has been no change for hundreds or thousands of years; the long life of a cultivator seems to have become an iron chain, locking the development of the entire society.

The masters with a long life span represent the world, and young people simply cannot afford to struggle.

But the world right now seems to have completely changed.

Finally, Liu Mei returned to the lobby of her new villa, stood in front of the new map, looked at the complicated lines on the map, and thought of the news she read in a private newspaper this morning:

Railways and locomotives, airlines and warships are the two iron chains that Dayang Group uses to control the world!

Today, the total mileage of the railway directly or indirectly controlled by Dayang Group has reached an astonishing 300,000 kilometers; the railway is divided into two parts, the Fertile Continent in the north and the Terrible Continent in the south.

In the north, the railway starts from Ninghe County, where the Dayang Group is located, and continues to extend in three directions: north, east, and northeast, connecting the northern coastal countries, southern coastal countries and ports, and the railway extending northeastward, eventually Through the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect, it reaches the Xianyin Sect in the east, and connects to the port of Xianyin Sect, which is also the first port in the east of Fertility Island:

Bibo Harbor.

In the southern continent of Taotu, starting from Dayang Group's concession and Beihai Port, seven major railway branch lines are extended to connect to various holy places. These railway lines look like a sapling, rooted in the North Harbor and branching off as it goes south.

At present, the influence of industry is mainly on the continent of fertile soil, followed by the continent of fertile soil, and then west Kunlun and parts of Kunlun continent, as well as a small area in the west of the continent of soil in the north, and the west of the continent of lush soil in the south. A few areas etc.

The main railway lines are concentrated in the Fertile Continent and the Fertile Continent. Among them, according to statistics from Ocean Daily, the total mileage of the Feituzhou Railway is about 410,000 kilometers, the total mileage of the Taotuzhou Railway is about 270,000 kilometers, and the interior of West Kunlun is about 50,000 kilometers.

Among them, 300,000 kilometers are directly or indirectly controlled by Dayang Group! Moreover, most of the main lines controlled by Dayang Group!

In addition, there are battleships and routes.

Three years have passed, and with the public research of Huashen technology, the steel technology has inevitably been leaked. Today, there are many groups that can smelt black iron and steel, and there are several countries or business groups that can build steel warships—many of them even have Dayang Group as a shareholder.

However, the best steel battleship is still Dayang Group.

Now the routes on the sea and the outer sea are completely controlled by Dayang Group. At present, the sea routes mainly start from the Changshan Port of the Dayang Group, go south to the Southern Lieyan Snow Mountain Sect of the Taotu Continent, and go north to Liuli Island.

Then there are the Fertile Continent, the Soil Continent, the Kunlun Continent, the western part of the Northern Continent of Soil, and the western part of the Southern Continent of Prosperous Earth. In this vast inland sea, the Dayang Group also has a pivotal position. status.

Today's large sea transportation volume requires steel warships in all open seas, and 90% of these warships are built by Dayang Group.

The inland sea has low requirements, and it can be a skinned ship or even a wooden ship; however, Dayang Group has built even crazier 'merchant ships' for the inland sea.

This kind of merchant ship uses steel as the keel and ordinary black steel as the plank. It can be more than 300 meters long, more than 80 meters wide, and has a displacement of... 200,000 tons!

The price of such a merchant ship is not expensive, but tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones - much cheaper than a battleship, and it is still powered by fuel oil and steam turbines, does not require sails, does not require too many sailors, the speed It is more than five times that of wooden ships in the past, and its load capacity is three times that of the largest wooden ships. The freight cost can easily be reduced by 30%.

On the eve of the popularization of industrialization, commodities are actually limited. Steel merchant ships are loaded with goods, but wooden ships are not loaded with goods. In such a fiercely competitive environment, everyone had to buy the merchant ships of Dayang Group.

"Technology is like this!" Finally Wang Suxin said to Liu Mei, "Only those who stand at the peak of technology can take everything. The rest who fall behind can only survive in the cracks.

Even so, Dayang Group's orders for warships and merchant ships have already been scheduled until next summer. "

Liu Mei nodded emotionally, "I almost understand. I have something to tell Mr. Zhang."

"Please follow me, Mr. Zhang has been in the Technology Research Center for a while."

Dayang Group's technology research center is not accessible to ordinary people. Not only is there a separate defensive barrier here, but the guards at the door are actually two people who have transformed into gods, and they have mastered more than one kind of supernatural power.

After being looked at by the eyes of these two people, Liu Mei actually felt a feeling of being seen through: it seemed that all disguises, makeup, etc., could not escape the eyes of the other party. (It’s not a clairvoyant, it’s a delusion-breaking type; it must be emphasized for some lovely readers.)

Wang Suxin could only send Liumei to the entrance of the research center, and could not enter any further. Liu Mei thanked Wang Suxin and entered the research center, but she could only wait on the first floor of the research center.

Only with the order of Zhang Hao, the person in charge will allow Liu Mei to enter the high-level.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Liu Mei to get permission.

If it was in the past, if it was some arrogant god transformation stage, facing such hospitality, I'm afraid they would have turned their backs long ago. But one, Liu Mei is not that arrogant, and the other is also during these five days, Liu Mei was also shocked by the crazy development and influence of Dayang Group.

Zhang Hao met Liu Mei in the conference room on the fifth floor, but Zhang Hao had been waiting at the door of the elevator for a long time. When he saw Liu Mei, Zhang Hao also politely apologized and congratulated Liu Mei for becoming the peak of the God Transformation master.

Liu Mei spared no effort to praise Dayang Group and Zhang Hao, and finally said: "Mr. Zhang, when I come back this time, I feel that I have found a mechanism leading to the interior of Xianshan!"

Zhang Hao's eyes suddenly brightened: "Really? How sure?"

No wonder Zhang Hao was so pleasantly surprised. In the past three years, Zhang Hao has continuously sent people to explore Xianshan and Liuli Island. But unfortunately, it seems that there is no way to find the door to the inside!

For example, Liuli Island has been explored for thousands of years, and I don’t know how many times to go there. It is almost impossible for Dayang Group to achieve results in a short time. The situation of Xianshan and Xuanwushan in the outer sea is similar.

Although Zhang Hao has guesses about these things, it is precisely because of the guesses that Zhang Hao dare not explore rashly. If some weird virus is accidentally released, or some undead monster or legendary fairy-level monster is released, it will be troublesome. But in this practice world, it really has to be guarded against.

Zhang Hao talked with Liu Mei for a while, and then came to the conference room. In the conference room, a technical application discussion is going on, to be precise: a discussion on the promotion and application of electric power technology.

At present, what Dayang Group discloses to the public is direct current technology, and it uses fuel cell technology.

Fuel cells have many advantages: Today's efficiency can reach more than 60%, while the theoretical efficiency can reach 90%-compared with the AC method of steam turbines and generators, the efficiency is usually only 36% to 38%, or even lower.

In addition, direct current and fuel cells are easy to manage, grid connection does not require frequency modulation, etc., and the voltage is relatively low, relatively safe, and has little pressure on the environment.

However, fuel cell technology also has disadvantages, such as high cost, high resource consumption, complicated repair and maintenance, and poor reliability. Also... the voltage is not high!

The voltage is not high, which is an advantage from a safety point of view. But from the perspective of technology and scientific research, it is a shortcoming that cannot be ignored. And direct current is difficult to step up. However, it is precisely because of this that Dayang Group can keep the secrets of alternating current and fairy energy.

What we are going to discuss today is the expanded application of direct current technology: practice assistance!

After a long period of research and observation, Dayang Group always discovered and applied electric current to stimulate the body. In particular, some people whose cultivation aptitude is not very good, but their foundation is solid, can actually properly improve their physical aptitude through electric stimulation. Of course, this process must be closely monitored, and life will be lost if you don't pay attention.

However, after such a long period of research, the Dayang Group already has enough confidence.

And now, everyone is discussing whether this technology should be promoted. Some people agree, but more people oppose - in the past, this technology was the private technology of Dayang Group, and only the core personnel of Dayang Group could enjoy it.

But those who support it also have reasons: Although this technology is good, Dayang Group uses alternating current internally; while direct current technology is very weak, we should disclose the promotion technology of direct current for spiritual practice, and collect enough data to feed back our internal AC technology.

Zhang Hao didn't speak, just quietly watched everyone discussing.

Liu Mei sat down and listened for a while, then she understood what was going on. After a while Liu Mei said, "I think it should be made public. If the direct current technology is as everyone said, then at most it is only effective for Jindan stage.

It is only valid for the golden core period, and it will not threaten our status.

But it is only valid for the Golden Core stage, which means that the juniors of the vast number of masters of practice, as well as the foundation of the entire practice world, will be affected by us. The potential benefits are huge and beyond imagination! And this benefit is enough to support the future of Dayang Group!

We can build fuel cell factories all over the place, even sell fuel cells to other people, etc., which will be a huge benefit.

It is unimaginable that electricity will replace some elixir, etc., and promote the whole society. "

As soon as Liu Mei finished speaking, someone retorted. A deity transformation calmly analyzed: "Fellow Daoists are too idealistic. There is a saying that promotes kindness against misdemeanors. If we really do bestow favors all over the world, all the holy places will not tolerate us!

If it is to be made public, it seems that only fuel cells and related equipment can be sold. Then create momentum in the newspapers, saying that this is the technology of Dayang Group. As for directly intervening in the local practice environment...hehe..."

Liu Mei frowned a little, but after thinking about it, she said: "But the use of electricity to promote spiritual practice has been widely circulated in the society. Dayang Group can no longer keep it secret, and can only make it public."

"That's different. Dayang Group's technology starts from the essence, while the outside world's technology starts from the appearance, which is extremely harmful to the body."

Everyone was still discussing intensely when the phone in the conference room rang. It was Murong Shan, the current army commander of the Dayang Group, calling for Zhang Hao.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Hao asked coolly.

"Mr. Zhang, I have two messages.

One is from the Red Lotus Sect, which means that a general attack will be launched against the Sacred Fire Sect tomorrow. It is certain that within the next month, the Sacred Fire Cult will be completely wiped out. At that time, the Jiangxia Kingdom and Xihe Kingdom promised by the Red Lotus Sect will be handed over to us.

Just to be on the safe side, the Red Lotus Sect also wants to 'borrow' 50,000 artillery pieces and 30 million shells from us.

The other is the Sacred Fire Sect. The Sacred Fire Sect said: If the Dayang Group is willing to intervene now, they are willing to give us the Jiangxia Kingdom, Xihe Kingdom, and Tianshui Kingdom, and they are willing to form an eternal friendship with the Dayang Group. "

Zhang Hao laughed when he heard this: "You tell the Holy Fire Cult that the Dayang Group will not change its position easily. Also, you also tell the Red Lotus Cult: stop daydreaming!"

Murong Shan ended the call, but only two hours later, another message came: "Mr. Zhang, the Sacred Fire Cult announced that it has officially become a subsidiary sect of the Ming Cult!"

Zhang Hao's eyes became sharp instantly!

(Sorry, Calvin, it’s so sour. There is another update tonight. No matter what, I need to guarantee the bottom line of 6,000 words.)
