Chapter 810 Chapter 807 Civilized World
Looking at the scene in front of him, the general felt that he had run out of words, and it was difficult to express his shock with any words.
The first thing to show in front of the general is the approach bridge.
As a super bridge across the sea, and also a super bridge in the practice world, the approach bridge is ten kilometers long. The width of the bridge deck is a full 150 meters!
At present, the bridge is under construction and has just reached the seaside. Piling is being done by the sea.
After years of development and technology accumulation and research and development, Dayang Group's construction machinery technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. Especially the construction machinery developed for the land bridge, especially the engineering ship, has been called crazy.
At this time, construction machinery was driving piles on the shore.
The heavy hammer guide rail of the construction machinery is more than 500 meters high, and the almost semi-solid black steel pillar below it, which is 5 meters thick and 150 meters long, is nailed into the ground with a thud.
Every time the heavy hammer fell, it was like thunder, the earth trembled violently, and the sea water on the seashore was amazed by pieces of broken waves.
There are 12 such construction machinery on the shore, arranged in two rows, and behind the construction machinery are six rows of steel columns nailed into the ground.
The distance between the steel columns is about 25 meters from left to right, and from front to back is about 45 meters, extending all the way to the sea.
After piling, workers behind will measure and cut the steel pipes, and then install the beams and supports.
By the sea, there are a large number of masters in the stage of transformation, who are using spells to separate the sea water. Two construction machines have already completed piling on the ground and are heading towards the ocean.
And the steel pipes used to drive piles in the sea are more than 180 meters long!
At the rear, it seems that there are still longer steel pipes coming. Such a heavy steel pipe is inconvenient to be transported by machinery. The Dayang Group directly used tens of thousands of Nascent Soul Stages and thousands of Huashen Stages to participate in the construction.
Suddenly a 'dark cloud' from the north flew close to the ground. The general looked intently, but saw hundreds of steel pipes over 180 meters in length above the thick clouds, and more than a dozen masters at the level of deities were activating spells.
These masters quickly passed in front of the general and flew towards a 'hill' in the distance. But looking carefully at this moment, the general had to take a deep breath: there are hills there, and there are simply mountains of metal materials and so on.
In the world of light, metals are scarce, but here, metals are everywhere. Those with a lot of metal can only be used as building materials.
The ground trembled slightly, and the general suddenly turned his head to look backward, only to see two new and huge construction machinery slowly approaching. Two huge construction machinery each held a 45-meter-long and 25-meter-wide bridge section and came rumbling.
The bases of these construction machinery are more than 50 meters long, and the construction machinery adopts a multi-track structure. A huge construction machine needs 12 sets of crawlers to support its huge volume.
The heavy bridge sections were placed easily and accurately, and the workers stepped forward to complete the inspection and insert nail pins and bolts to fix them.
The whole project is huge, but the efficiency is extremely high.
Two hours later, the construction machinery at the front had begun to enter the sea; the Huashen masters pushed away the seawater and silt to provide convenience for the construction machinery.
Construction machinery thus began to enter the sea.
That is to say, there is magic in this world, and engineering work can be so willful. Of course, there is no way to pay attention to quality so much - there are monsters in the sea!
For bridge piers in the sea, after the piling is completed, the settlement method must be adopted to add an outer cement protective layer to the bridge.
This time, the sea-crossing bridge covers more than 14,000 kilometers—it is not a straight line along the way, and some trenches, or sandstone areas, or particularly deep places need to be bypassed.
Even so, the deepest part of the bridge is as high as 1400 meters! For deep-sea areas, the only thing Dayang Group can do at present is to stockpile materials.
It is not that the subsea tunnel has not been considered, but the technical requirements are higher, so it cannot be completed by stockpiling. Moreover, the later maintenance is troublesome and the circulation is small.
In contrast, for example, the construction of a sea-crossing bridge, although the initial investment is huge, the later maintenance is simple. The designed service life of the bridge should exceed 100 years!
Cao Bin and Zhao Rang walked with the general and others while explaining.
Hearing that the bridge is 14,000 kilometers long, the general was even more shocked. The length of a bridge is like this, and the diameter of the Bright Realm is only 5,000 kilometers! About 15,700 kilometers a week.
In other words, the length of this sea-crossing bridge can almost circle the Bright Realm!
And this is just one of Dayang Group's many projects.
However, the general observed for a long time, and gradually discovered a problem: "During the construction of your project, why don't you use expert construction? Instead, use such complicated construction machinery?
If you build with a master, the speed will be faster and the efficiency will be higher, right? "
Cao Bin said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang said that spells can only be used as an aid. In fact, roads built 'directly' with spells can only be used for a few months before problems arise.
We don't have much grasp of the essence of spells, so the road structure formed by spells is loose and fully supported by spells. And spells are time-sensitive.
The other is to use spells to 'indirectly' build. Let’s talk about roads. It is possible to tamp the ground with the ground shaking technique, but in this case, the efficiency is not better than that of construction machinery, and the efficiency is not good. The quality is the most problematic.
The machinery will not get tired, the main maintenance and debugging are just fine. Construction machinery can achieve consistent quality; but it is difficult for masters to maintain consistent quality for thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers.
But people get tired.
There is also the issue of cost. With the cost of a master, it needs to consume spirit stones and elixir, but with construction machinery, it consumes fuel. Its value differs by as much as three thousand times! "
In fact, there is another reason, but Cao Bin will not say: technology can only be improved through practice. However, this is the core idea of Dayang Group, but it is not appropriate to announce it to the outside world.
Technology needs to be accumulated, and nothing can be achieved overnight. It cannot be said that the current technology is useless if it is a bit tasteless, and that technology will never improve.
Dayang Group's ability to uncover the secrets of Faxiang is itself an inevitable achievement due to its persistent pursuit of technology.
With the development of the Dayang Group, even if the secret of Faxiang cannot be discovered today, it will certainly be able to tomorrow. This is the benefit of the foundation.
Unlike other holy places and countries, unless there is some "unexpected luck", it is almost impossible to find out the secrets of the Dharma by yourself.
In short, Zhao Rang added a few more words at the side, and the general nodded slowly, but looking at the bustling scene in front of him, there was still infinite shock and longing in the general's eyes.
Only when you see it with your own eyes can you understand how big the difference is. No wonder the civilized world is so disdainful to me and others, no wonder I wanted to cooperate with Dayang Group but was arranged to observe - you observe first, then we will talk.
If you don't observe it, there is no way to talk about it.
After observing here for another two days, the general also slowly learned the language of the civilized world—actually, the language of the Dayang Group.
The language of Dayang Group, which is the language of Qixia Country, is still different from the eastern world in pronunciation, etc., and there are even differences in many characters.
But now the Dayang Group is powerful, and many technical standards and practice standards (mainly Dharma images and new magic weapons) are annotated in the words of the Dayang Group, so the voice of the Dayang Group is now one of the important language branches of the civilized world, and it is The one with the widest range of influence - this one, none of them.
Basically, it can be said that the voice of Dayang Group is moving closer to Esperanto.
Of course, in this development process, Dayang Group's language pronunciation, characters, etc. are also borrowing and correcting from the outside world.
Different pronunciations, meanings, text structures, etc. are not a big problem for daily communication. But in terms of practice, especially in terms of exercises, there is often a difference of a thousand miles.
For example, 'several' and 'several'. 'Ji' is a pictograph, and its structure is the shape of tools such as coffee tables. If counting, 'several' is correct, this is a knowing word.
There are also 'after' and 'after'. 'Hou' is the anti-transformation of 'si', which means to control; if the location word, use 'hou'. You can't say 'queen/houtu', you can only say 'queen/houtu'!
If it is a normal accent, such words can be mixed; but if it is explaining and recording exercises, etc., it must not be mixed. The words Ji, Ji, Hou, Hou, etc. often appear in exercises.
Now Dayang Group is slowly correcting such oral mistakes.
Okay, let's go too far. In a word, after learning the language of Dayang Group, you can basically travel all over the known world without fear - don't go to places that are too remote.
It is not easy for the general and the others to learn a language in just a few days without cultivating their primordial spirit. Fortunately, the languages of the Light Realm and the languages of the known world are of the same family. Even though it has been hundreds of thousands of years, they are somewhat related.
Moreover, the general and others are not ordinary people after all, they have been studying for seven or eight days, and they can already communicate with each other stumblingly.
Because of this, the general personally inquired a lot of news. For example, Dayang Group invested a total of 3 billion Lingyuan in the cross-sea bridge, and 1 Lingyuan = one million yuan in banknotes.
Now, the annual salary of an early-stage god-transforming master is about 12,000 Lingyuan—this is still quite high.
Even in the Dayang Group, with the emergence of Faxiang masters in recent years, the salaries of Huashen masters have been declining, but the salary of the Dayang Group has remained at more than 20,000.
The general asked Cao Bin and Zhao Rang about the relationship between Lingshi, Lingyuan, and Yuan.
Cao Bin directly took out five pieces of upper, middle and lower spirit stones and gave them to the general and others. "This is a spirit stone, which can be used for cultivation, but it cannot be absorbed directly, and formations must be arranged. Direct absorption will affect the foundation of cultivation.
Lingyuan and Yuan are the names and units of a currency.
This is the banknote of Lingyuan, which is made of a mixture of fine gold and red copper, and cannot be smelted and recycled.
This is yuan, a low-level mixed element fine gold.
At present, our currencies, that is, banknotes are: 5 cents, 1 cent, 5 cents, 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 50 yuan, 100 yuan, 1000 yuan, 0.01 Lingyuan, 0.05 Lingyuan, 0.1 Lingyuan, 0.5 Lingyuan, 1 Lingyuan, 5 Lingyuan, 10 Lingyuan, 100 Lingyuan, these denominations.
These, together, make up our monetary system.
In terms of purchasing power, you can buy a catty of brown rice for 2-3 cents, and you can buy a catty of high-quality glutinous rice for 5 cents. You can buy a low-grade Peiyuan pill for 100 yuan. The low-level magic weapon Feijian, which is used in the foundation building period, costs 1,500 to 2,000 yuan through regular channels.
The wages of ordinary and excellent migrant workers are as low as 200 yuan per month in Dayang Group, and the average income is about 240 yuan.
If you are a skilled worker, those who have certain skills and work on the production line earn at least 260 yuan a month, and the average income is around 300 yuan. "
With such a detailed explanation, the general knew it well.
But it can also be seen from the above figures that there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor.
The masters of the transformation stage are still the most elementary, and their annual salary is 12,000 Lingyuan (top-grade Lingshi), which is equivalent to 12 billion yuan.
The annual salary of ordinary migrant workers is about 2,800 yuan—even with year-end bonuses and the like, it is about 3,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 30 low-grade spirit stones.
But such an income, from the point of view of the entire civilized world, is already a high income.
Finally, Zhao Rang added: "Dayang Group is doing well here. As long as you work hard in a year, you can always buy a few spirit stones to practice at the end of the year. At least there is a chance to change your destiny, and children go to school for free, and all expenses are borne by Dayang Group.
In other countries, many people have been busy for a year and can't even get enough food and clothing, let alone see Lingshi. Not to mention changing one's destiny to practice, even survival is a problem. "
The general was silent. The outside world is definitely not a paradise!
After being silent for a while, the general suddenly said, "Let's go and have a look elsewhere."
Cao Bin answered, "Let's go to Maotu Continent. There is a war going on there. The general can see how cruel the war in the civilized world is."
