Standing above Jizhou and looking down, Su Fan looked at the black steel lines connecting Jizhou with other states and showed a satisfied look.
Railways have appeared, and steam trains seem to have developed to a different stage.
The speed was not even slower than the trains of later generations in the 1970s and 1980s. This was really the magical age of steam.
Taipingdao's use of steam engines seems to have surpassed that of previous lives. In that era, steam engines were quickly replaced by internal combustion engines.
But Taipingdao seems to have created something different.
The first thing is to shrink it, and then the efficiency is not bad at all. Looking at the steam cars running on the road, they are much larger than the internal combustion engine cars of later generations, but on the cement road, the speed is not slow at all.
Thick smoke is billowing everywhere in the sky, but this represents the advent of industrialization.
Although the air does not look very good, it represents the arrival of a new era.
This is the power of industry. Su Fan can see that over the past two hundred years, the degree of industrialization of Taiping Road is no worse than that of later generations in the 1980s.
There are even some places that are no worse than those of later generations.
Technology combined with extraordinary means can create more powerful things.
"Um!"
"Is that a plane?"
"It seems that they have also developed the internal combustion engine."
Su Fan saw the crude plane at a glance, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips. Although the plane was very crude, it could already fly.
And the pilots inside are also mortals.
The plane flew in the sky for less than an hour before returning again and landing in an open space.
Immediately, there was a burst of cheers from below.
"Haha! Success"
A group of people in Jizhou First Aviation Research Institute cheered thoroughly.
"Master, we succeeded"
Several young people looked excited. Several of them were disciples of the institute and had joined the institute for several years.
"Master, mortals can also go to heaven, we have done it"
Another young man was even more excited because he was not a monk, he was just an ordinary mortal, but he could participate in the research and development of a machine that would allow ordinary people to ascend to heaven.
How could this not excite him?
The previous trains were also built by mortals and became mortal dragons. Now the planes are flying into the sky, which are flying phoenixes. Ordinary people like them can also ride on the flying phoenixes and fly into the sky. These are the teachers in the past who taught them that mortals can also fly.
Man can conquer heaven.
"Yes, we succeeded"
As the leading researcher, Gongshu Yuan is also very happy. He is a disciple of the Gongshu family. The Gongshu family existed in the pre-Qin period. In the Great Qin era, it was a war created by the Gongshu family that could compete with the Qin Mo branch.
He is also very good at weapons.
Most of the flying boats in the Qin Dynasty were built by the Gongshu family.
After the disappearance of the Qin Dynasty, some of the Gongshu family, led by the current head of the family, stayed in Kyushu and some left Kyushu.
Gongshu Yuan is a part of those who stayed in Kyushu. After staying in Kyushu, the Gongshu family also began to keep a low profile. In terms of heritage and strength, the Gongshu family is definitely no worse than those first-class aristocratic families.
It's just that the Gongshu family has no interest in other things, rights or anything, as if they don't care at all.
They like to study machinery.
Unintentionally, the Gongshu family encountered Taiping Dao and saw Taiping Dao's cannons, so some disciples entered Taiping Dao and discovered the endless layers of new knowledge on Taiping Dao, which completely attracted the disciples of the Gongshu family.
Soon, they moved their whole family to the sphere of influence of Taiping Dao, and then entered the core research area of Taiping Dao and became the core of Taiping Dao's research.
After all, the Gongshu family has inherited some of the craftsmanship techniques of the Great Qin Dynasty. Perhaps many of the war weapons of the Great Qin Dynasty cannot be forged now.
But the knowledge engraved in their blood has greatly improved the Taiping Dao.
In addition, their acceptance of new knowledge is also very high, especially the knowledge that allows mortals to forge various machines, which is even more exciting for the disciples of the Gongshu family.
Because they are busy researching various machines, the Gongshu family has a monastic inheritance, and they rarely practice to a high level.
During the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin Mo's lineage had people who had reached the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal or even Daluo Golden Immortal, but the strongest one in the Gongshu family was only Jin Immortal, and there was only one.
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer spiritual ideas in Kyushu, and there are even fewer extraordinary people in the Gongshu family. Many of them are mortals, but their knowledge has been passed down. After learning new knowledge about Taiping Dao, they grew up very quickly.
For more than a hundred years, they have quickly become the mainstay of Taipingdao scientific research.
Gongshu Yuan is not an ordinary person, but a man of cultivation. He has also been rewarded by Zhang Jiao many times. His cultivation has improved rapidly and he is now a Jindan-level ascetic.
Like him, high-level talents who have a great impact on scientific research will receive great attention from Taiping Dao, and they will try their best to improve their cultivation. Only in this way can their life span be extended.
The life span of ordinary people is very short. Even within the scope of Taiping Dao, the average life span of ordinary people is only about forty. This is still these years, and Taiping Dao has no shortage of food.
Fifty years ago, the average life expectancy would have been even shorter.
Ordinary people only have a few decades. They start studying at the age of ten, study for ten years, and start research at the age of twenty. When people are forty or fifty, their energy declines, and they only have a peak period of twenty or thirty years.
But the monks are different. As long as they cultivate to the realm of golden elixir, they will have hundreds of years of life. They may even practice health-preserving and life-extending exercises, and they may live for thousands of years. Such people can spend more time on research.
.
As one of the leaders of scientific research, Gongshu Yuan is obviously such a person. He can be said to be the treasure of Taiping Dao. His importance is even compared to those high-ranking military officers and generals in Taiping Dao.
"Mo Qing, it's only the first generation now. The military needs us to come up with aircraft that can fight."
"Right now, this aircraft is still far behind. It's not fast, and its defense isn't strong enough. Although it can fly very high, there's nothing an ordinary grandmaster can do with it."
"But it doesn't have much power to fight back now. Even if it is equipped with military guns, it won't have much effect."
"After all, once it drops close to the ground, it will be attacked by those strong people on the ground."
Gongshu Yuan was very calm, and it was indeed good to develop a flying aircraft. However, in fact, in the pre-Qin period, the Mohists and Gongshu Yuan had already developed the flying kite.
What the military needs are weapons of war, like the war flying boats of the Great Qin era, weapons that can fight against strong men.
Today’s airplanes are still far from good.
"That's because their muskets are not enough. If those people invent muskets with a longer range, our aircraft will have combat effectiveness." ()
