Chapter 412 Tungsten Filament Incandescent Lamp
At the same time, the Yewen Mountains traverse the north and south of the Star Luo Empire. To the south are a large number of low hills, and further down the hills is the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.
In this way, the Ye Wen Mountain Range is the natural and final natural barrier of Star Luo City.
Since it is a barrier, it is natural to have a fortress. There is a pass in the middle of the Yewen Mountains, named Xingluo Fortress. It is located in the middle of the Yewen Mountains. This is the only relatively low and flat area in the entire mountain range. If you don't go here, you have to go east or west around the sea to enter the southern part of the Star Luo Empire.
The entire fortress guards the north-south traffic artery of Xingluo. It is a veritable "throat". Wan Dajun.
Qian Nawei watched quietly, after reading a page, she flipped through it with a "wow", and turned to the next page.
This page is about the culture and customs of the Star Luo Empire. The Star Luo Empire is located in the south of the Douluo Continent. Flood plains between rivers.
These hills and plains are fertile, and all of them are mainly planted with rice, which is the staple food.
The starch content in rice is less than that of wheat, plus there are not many grasslands, less cattle and sheep are raised, and the milk of cattle and goats is also less. Therefore, the height and build of the residents of the Star Luo Empire are generally relatively short, compared to the Tiandou Empire The race of people is much smaller.
Among them, people like Dai Mubai are completely special cases. The average height of adult males in the Star Luo Empire is around 1.7 meters, and those who can grow above 1.7 meters are considered pretty good.
Because the climate of the Star Luo Empire is mainly subtropical and tropical, the Star Luo Empire is hot and rainy all year round, and the rainy season accounts for more than half of it in a year.
Because of the abundant rainfall, rivers and paddy fields are densely covered here. There were originally many swamps, but they were all reclaimed into paddy fields to grow rice.
In the Star Luo Empire, all the rivers originate from the Yewen Mountains, flow in all directions in the Star Luo Empire, and finally flow into the sea.
Therefore, the Star Luo Empire has developed water transport, and its shipbuilding industry far surpasses that of the Heaven Dou Empire, as does its business.
Seeing this, Qian Nawei couldn't help thinking, since water transportation and commerce are so developed, why is the technological level of the Star Luo Empire as low as that of the Tiandou Empire?
The technological level of the Heaven Dou Empire, not to mention comparing Qian Nawei's Blue Star in the 21st century before, even comparing the Tang Dynasty where the Tang Sect originated, is like comparing a child to an adult.
Vulnerable, fragile like a piece of white paper.
With this question in mind, she continued to browse.
According to the book, due to the prosperity of commerce in the Star Luo Empire, its water transportation and commercial profits were so lucrative that the royal family directly controlled all commercial channels and did not allow private individuals to conduct cross-border business at will.
Not only is private cross-border business not allowed, bulk commodity trading, as long as the amount exceeds [-] gold coins, must be sold to the royal family or a large merchant designated by the royal family, and then the royal family or designated personnel will be converted into sales.
Bureaucratic monopoly!
Qian Nawei's eyes froze for a moment.
Such behavior is obviously the same as the shipping in the Ming Dynasty.
During the Ming Dynasty, the Maritime Silk Road was extremely developed and commercial profits were extremely high.
At that time, if the rapid development of sea transportation, the rapid economic and cultural exchanges between the East and the West, and the transmission and spread of various science and technology, it only takes a while for Ming Dynasty to become the most powerful dynasty on Blue Star, bar none.
However, the huge profits of shipping and transnational commerce have attracted bureaucratic covetousness.
They prohibit ordinary people from participating in the Silk Road, and must hand over full authority to the government or a large businessman designated by the government.
In this way, the government is indeed earning a lot of money, but without the participation of the people, there cannot be a large amount of mutual exchange of humanities and culture, and science and technology cannot be passed on and disseminated.
Since then, science and technology in the western world have developed rapidly, but the government of Ming Dynasty is complacent with the huge profits it has gained, and is also corrupt.
After that, everyone knows that the corrupt Ming Dynasty couldn't even pay for the army, and the peasant uprising regime in Dashun occupied Beijing.
Li Zicheng, the self-proclaimed Chuangwang, used torture tools to force the officials of the Ming Dynasty to pay gold. If you don’t check, you don’t know.
All the officials of the Ming Dynasty were extremely rich, and Li Zicheng squeezed as much as nearly ten million taels of gold in one day!
Later, the Qing court perfectly inherited the mantle of the Ming Dynasty, and all shipping continued to be handled by the government, which made huge profits.
Seeing this, Qian Nawei understood Xing Luo's situation.
Obviously, the low level of science and technology of the Star Luo Empire, as low as mentally handicapped, is largely due to the royal family.
Of course, the prosperity of soul masters, and the research of powerful soul master force is also one of the important reasons.
Qian Nawei continued to read quietly, and did not finish the book until dinner time in the evening.
During the period, she ate lunch in the library, which was brought by Iron Fist outside.
After finishing the book at last, Qian Nawei closed the book and let out a breath.
"Whoo~"
She stood up, returned the book to its original shelf position, and walked out of the library.
Tiandou City was brightly lit, and the streets were full of people coming and going, more bustling than during the day.
Nightlife has already begun.
With her iron fist, Qian Nawei walked for a while, passed through the crowded crowd, and returned to Tiandou Palace, the palace where her cousin Qian Feier was, Xuelin Palace.
In the main hall of Xuelin Palace, Qian Fei'er, Qian Linjue and others are dining.
The concubines in the palace eat their meals in their own palaces, and only the servants go to the big restaurant.
Qian Feier, Qian Linjue and other six people sat on the small round stool, with their backs facing the door and facing the long sofa.
On the sofa, there are many meals and dishes.
Originally, the maid served food for everyone's room, but Qian Fei'er liked the atmosphere of a dinner party, so she asked the maid to bring all the dishes to the main hall, which was her own room.
but……
Regardless of whether it is the main hall or the side room, the tables are too small to hold meals shared by several people!
There was no other way, Qian Fei'er had no choice but to put the dishes on the long mahogany sofa, and then waited for others to sit on the small round stool and eat together.
Because the height of the small round stool is slightly higher than that of the long mahogany sofa, this created a strange scene: six people bent their buttocks and bent their upper bodies to eat.
"Pfft!"
Qian Nawei couldn't hold back for a moment, covered her mouth on the spot, and laughed out loud.
Qian Fei'er noticed her cousin came back, got up, turned her head, and smiled softly.
"Nawei, are you back? Come over for dinner."
"Okay, Miss Mayfair."
Qian Nawei smiled softly, moved lightly with lotus steps, took a small round stool, sat on the side, and ate with her cousins.
Dinner was finished quickly, and after eating, everyone went back to their rooms.
Time passed by, and after a while, a tall, muscular figure with a straight nose and square mouth, accompanied by several maidservants, rushed into Xuelin Palace in a hurry.
Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Ye!
Xue Ye broke into the small courtyard of Xuelin Palace, and before he entered the main hall, he hurriedly shouted: "Aifei, Aifei?"
Impatiently, he opened the door of the main hall of Xuelin Palace, and saw Qian Fei'er sitting on a chair in the front hall, smiling sweetly at him.
"His Majesty."
The next moment, Xue Ye's vision blurred, and she lay down on the bed with Qian Fei'er.
Impatiently, he bent down and had sex with Qian Fei'er.
And in the corridor of Xuelin Palace's bedroom, a figure with a bunch of red ribbons tied in her hair was watching all this, her ruby-like pupils glowed faintly.
Owner of the Vision Thunder Angel Martial Soul, Qian Xinyu!
Qian Xinyu blushed, looked at it, then quickly turned around, walked out of the main hall of Xuelin Palace, and closed the door carefully.
After closing the door, she turned and walked down the corridor to the left compartment.
Opening the door, there are two girls in the door, one is Qian Yueqi with a frosty face and an unchanging expression on her face, the other has a pair of squinting eyes, an extremely plump figure, and an astonishing difference in bust 28 cm range.
It was Qian Feier!
Seeing Qian Fei'er, Qian Xinyu blushed and nodded.
"Sister Fei'er, I've already let Xue Ye do that."
"Okay, thank you Xinyu."
Qian Feier nodded with a smile.
Qian Xinyu replied with an "um", stepped forward two steps, and sat next to Qian Fei'er.
Qian Fei'er turned her head to look at her blushing cousin, and jokingly asked, "Xin Yu, are you shy when you see men and women? Do you feel shameful?"
Qian Xinyu waved her hand quickly, and shook her head blushing.
"No... Well, the matter of giving birth to a child is not something shameful. If you don't go through some things, the child will not be born, human beings..."
Having said that, Qian Xinyu's face became serious.
"Humanity may become extinct!"
"Pfft!"
Qian Fei'er covered her mouth and laughed, and stopped after several seconds.
Then, she looked at Qian Xinyu again and smiled softly.
"Xin Yu, I will trouble you again later in the night to give Xue Ye an illusion, is it okay?"
"No problem, Sister Fei'er, I promise to complete the task!"
Qian Xinyu said swearingly, with a firm face.
Qian Fei'er nodded in satisfaction, and turned her gaze back to the table.
She touched the soul guide bracelet on her wrist with her slender hand, and a thin metal wire appeared in her hand.
This metal wire is light silver in color, but it is not an iron wire, but... a tungsten wire!
Qian Fei'er bent the tungsten wire and put it on two small iron wires, and wrapped the two small iron wires with two pieces of paper so that they did not directly touch the hands.
After doing this, Qian Fei'er felt that she was not particularly relieved, and used a little soul power to cover her hands.
At this point, she turned around slightly, faced Qian Xinyu, and smiled softly.
"Xin Yu, get some electricity and connect it with both hands."
Do you want to do electricity?
Qian Xinyu blinked twice, she didn't know what her cousin was going to do.
However, she still listened to Qian Feier's words very much. Most of what Qian Feier said was beneficial to her and would not harm her.
