Chapter 805: A New Phenomenon on Outlying Islands

On the morning of July 2nd in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao left the empty island and headed for outlying islands.

Taking advantage of the dawn, Qu Mao, accompanied by Mo Yangqiao and Liu Qianhui, went around the empty island and had breakfast in a different village on the empty island.

It takes a very short time for the super warship to go from the civilian pier on the empty island to the civilian pier outside the village in the north and south of the outlying island. After all, the width of the strait between the empty island and the outlying island is only 10 kilometers.

Almost as soon as Qu Mao boarded the super warship, he entered the civilian pier outside Nanbeili Village and began to disembark.

The outlying islands were developed in the early days of the entire Yicheng territory. Basically, Yidao was developed before it was fully developed.

In all the previous wars that the territory of Yicheng experienced, only once was it attacked by the Anti-Yi Village Alliance, leaving behind the current outlying islands Digang and Dicun, and even Dicheng was built to house the prisoners of that war.

Therefore, the current outlying island should be the island that has been developed for the longest time in the holy land of Yicheng Territory, except for Yi Island.

Soon Qu Mao disembarked at the civilian pier outside the village in the north and south of the outlying island. There are not many original vegetation on the outlying island. Most of them were burned by fire magicians when a large number of residents were resettled, and then villages were built or cultivated.

And because the outlying island is the largest island in the Holy Land of Yicheng Territory, and the cultivated land along the Lihe River is very fertile, the outlying island is more attractive to the residents of Yicheng Territory.

Qu Mao didn't stay in Nanbeili Village, nor did he bother the local residents or the village chief and other management personnel. Instead, he rented a group of posthorses at the post station and walked along the road at the top of the Lihe Dam towards the Lihe Reservoir.

Kong Ming’s home is located in the reservoir village under the Lihe Reservoir, and Kong Ming has conducted a large number of hydrodynamic facility experiments at the dam of the Lihe Reservoir. Qu Mao’s visit here is to investigate the results of the hydrodynamic facility experiments. Of course, the outlying islands are limited. Almost all industries in the island are built around the Lihe reservoir, and Qu Mao also wants to take a look at the industrial development of the outlying island.

At the top of the Lihe Dam, Qu Mao had a panoramic view of the scenery on both sides of the Lihe River. It is now exactly the beginning of July, and the outlying islands are farther south than the Liusu Principality on the main mainland. Therefore, the summer grain has been harvested, and the autumn grain has not yet been planted. , the arable land is even more unobstructed.

Qumao believed in the horses, and the road on the top of the Lihe Dam was not complicated. The stage horses along the way naturally brought Qumao directly to the vicinity of the Lihe Reservoir, and various hydrodynamic facilities have been loaded on the Lihe Reservoir water retention dam.

From the Yimaping River on both sides of the Lihe River to the mountains around the Lihe Reservoir, Qu Mao seems to have traveled through time and space.

The cultivated land on both sides of the Li River has basically been allocated to the residents of the outlying islands for cultivation. Only a small and long string of cultivated land next to the Li River Dam still belongs to the lord's hut of the Yicheng territory. Of course, these cultivated lands are basically of excellent quality and above. more arable land, higher food production.

At the post station in Reservoir Village, Qu Mao retreated his war horse, and while walking along the Lihe Reservoir Dam to watch, he thought about whether to develop the catering industry or tourism for ordinary residents on the outlying islands.

Of course, local business development must be considered. I am afraid that the Nandi Chamber of Commerce cannot be bypassed. Maybe I have to communicate with Maffei Trani of the Nandi Chamber of Commerce.

If the Holy Land wants to develop tourism and catering, it is not impossible. After all, Yicheng Territory has a total population of 430 million in the Holy Land and the main continent, and the Holy Land has this foundation.

Qu Mao lived on the main mainland for two and a half months, and found that the local aborigines actually have catering and tourism industries, but they are not very developed, especially the tourism industry.

Since there are catering businesses in the major cities of Liusu Principality of the main mainland and the six major kingdoms, why can't the Holy Land of Yicheng Territory develop the catering business? But after thinking about it, Qu Mao suppressed this thought again.

After all, the most mobile people in the Yicheng Territory are heroes, soldiers, or management personnel. Even if there are ordinary residents, they are basically the residents of the Holy Land in the early Yicheng Territory returning to Yancheng to visit their relatives.

When these public servants go out, they will basically choose to eat at the village hall or the city lord's mansion at the destination or on the way. As a result, there are almost no restaurants in the huge holy land of Yicheng territory except for the underground tavern and Yiping Inn in Huitong Town. Industry.

Based on this fact, the village hall or the city lord's mansion are functional buildings, not commercial buildings. When the conditions are ripe in the future, the catering industry may be developed, but at least choosing this stage is not a rigid need.

With this in mind, Qu Mao walked all the way to the Lihe Reservoir Dam, and the hydrodynamic facility experiments that Kong Ming tested before he left were still going on as usual.

The water in the water retention dam of the Lihe Reservoir flows through the dam through the drainage hole, and hits the impeller that Kong Ming placed in the drainage hole, driving the impeller to rotate.

The rotation of the impeller drives the transmission belt, and the transmission belt transmits the power to the blacksmith's shop on the shore through the bearing unit, driving the big hammer in the blacksmith's shop to hammer the anvil up and down, and there is a blacksmith's shop on the anvil. The worker held the iron billet and stretched it to the anvil to strike.

The application of water power facilities in the blacksmith's shop has liberated the workload of blacksmith apprentices swinging sledgehammers.

Qu Mao stopped outside the blacksmith's shop for a while, carefully observing Kong Ming's hydrodynamic device to transmit the power to the blacksmith's shop to swing the sledgehammer, and silently thought in his heart: since the hydrodynamic device can replace the blacksmith's apprentice swinging the sledgehammer, does it only need other tools? Facilities can also solve the problem of power, so can this function be realized?

Thinking about it, a windmill in another world appeared in Qu Mao's mind.

As a dead house, Qu Mao has never seen the windmill in another world, but he often sees it in film and television works.

Since water power can be utilized, wind power should also be directly applied, and even solar energy, wind energy, electric energy, thermal energy, etc. can all be fully applied.

In an instant, many power systems entered Qu Mao's mind.

Before the water blocking dam of the Lihe Reservoir, Qu Mao stopped to think about it, and made up his mind that he must draw the concept picture in the future and hand it over to Kong Ming for research and development.

At lunch, Qu Mao asked researchers from the Hydrodynamic Research Institute near the water-blocking dam to eat together. During the meal, Qu Mao mentioned that the wind power application he had just thought about, solar energy, electric energy and thermal energy may be very complicated to realize , but the wind power should be able to come out in advance.

The researchers of the Institute of Hydrodynamics were dumbfounded after hearing this, so Qu Mao had no choice but to ask the engineering staff of the Institute of Hydrodynamics to wait for Kong Ming to come back, ask Kong Ming for his opinion, and then start the experiment.

Qu Mao himself promised to draw a simple schematic diagram of wind power utilization on the way to Jidao.

With Qu Mao's guarantee, the engineering staff of the Hydraulic Power Research Institute happily finished their lunch.

After lunch, Qu Mao continued to head south, preparing to go from Digang to Jidao Nangang.
