During the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, great geographical discoveries had been going on for hundreds of years. The Age of Discovery was coming to an end, and all the continents on the earth began to be connected into a whole.
However, due to population, technology, productivity and other factors, the development of the New World during this period was extremely limited and very backward.
Developing an area is a very difficult and long process.
Among other things, it took China more than a thousand years to develop the Jiangnan region from a barbaric land full of swamps and poisonous mountains into a land of plenty, and it was increasingly difficult for the population center to move beyond the northern region.
If the historical process had not been interrupted, the Indochina Peninsula south of Lingnan would have been developed and become a new land of plenty.
In the eyes of foreigners, ice sheets and frozen soil are not suitable for human life, tropical rainforests are not suitable for human life, and deserts and Gobi deserts are not suitable for human life...
However, in the eyes of Chinese people, vegetables can be grown in these places, and wherever vegetables can be grown, they can survive, live, and develop.
What's more, with Xi Tong providing technical (plug-in) support behind the scenes, the difficulty of developing a new continent is no different from playing a farming game.
The second batch of helmets was delivered to the base, and soon, there were more than 40 humanoid Teigu in the Qing Empire world.
The first batch of students have already taught their relatives and friends about this game and taught them how to choose skill combinations very seriously.
"Choose the Goblin talent for the passive skill. Don't worry, your character will not turn into a Goblin. This skill can improve your affinity for vegetation, and it is definitely a magical skill for farming."
"I have the Goblin talent. I have opened several large farms in the base. The food is definitely enough. You choose a dwarf talent and come over to help me build farm tools and weapons."
"If you choose this Caucasian wolf ambition skill, you can communicate with wild animals, especially shepherd dogs. They have a very high affinity and are absolutely useless for herding."
…
If the first batch of people were all randomly selected by Xia Jiba, the second batch of people were carefully selected with strategies, and they paid more attention to skill combinations and coordination between each other.
With these basic abilities, they can completely defeat the ferocious birds and beasts in nature, carve out a place to stay in the wilderness, and defeat the ill-intentioned natives and Western bandits who colonize here.
In this era, 99% of the ships on the sea are pirates. Legal merchants do not exist at all. Even if they do, they will be caught by pirates.
Most of those who went to the New World were criminals, homeless people, and bankrupts. They could no longer survive in the Old World and wanted to try their luck in the New World.
If nothing else, Australia is a place where prisoners are exiled.
Therefore, it is not safe to build a base here. Several students have encountered sneak attacks and sabotage by indigenous or white colonists.
Of course, this only adds to the fun of their game.
After finding the gathering places of indigenous or white colonists, go in alone and experience the fun of killing gods with gods and Buddhas with Buddhas.
Some people are more forward-looking. After entering this world, they do not build bases casually, but choose some more important locations.
Such as New York, San Francisco, Panama and other places.
They have long discovered that this world is completely modeled after the earth, and is infinitely real. The directions of many mountains and the positions of rivers are exactly the same.
In other words, the mineral locations on the earth also exist in this world, and the transportation hubs on the earth are equally important in this world.
Seeing this scene, Xi Tong nodded.
This is the benefit of time travellers. Basically, you play the game with a guide, occupy these strategic locations in advance, and develop them, just like nails wedged in each continent.
With these nails in place, North America will no longer be able to unite as a whole, let alone give birth to a hegemonic country. Instead, there will be dozens or hundreds of towns and countries, large and small.
Just like those densely packed pocket countries in Europe.
Xi Tong said: "Build and develop your village, and pay attention to recruiting the surrounding refugees and train them into reliable helpers."
This is said to the members of the North American, South American and Australian districts. As for the Nanyang District, special tasks have been issued to them. There will be no indigenous people at all in the future.
At this time, a student from the North American area said: "Coach, can you get some high-tech equipment, such as air conditioners, electric fans, refrigerators, and beer."
Xi Tong replied decisively: "No problem! Use the output from your territory in exchange for food, minerals, and industrial products."
"The output on your territory can be sold to the system in exchange for currency, and then the currency can be used to purchase special items on Earth."
"By the way, let me tell you that Fan Tong has opened a takeout system here to integrate various folk snacks from the Qing Empire for external sales. You can learn about it."
Everyone immediately searched for Fan Tong's takeout in the chip. Sure enough, as Xi Tong said, there were a lot of various folk snacks that they had never heard of before, and the prices were not expensive.
But the problem is - no money!
"One kilogram of grain is only worth 1 yuan. Who set the price? I don't know how much one pound of wheat cost in 9102. Black businessman."
"A lighter costs 50 yuan in the mall. I really want to bring a car from the earth."
After saying this, everyone immediately woke up.
This is a game world, not the earth. Being able to enjoy items on the earth in the game world is already very good, but trying to apply the prices of goods on the earth is a bit wishful thinking.
Moreover, the land here is vast. If you open up some farmland and recruit some indigenous refugees, you will have a bumper harvest and a huge amount of money.
If you want to get game currency, just work hard to develop.
"In order to help you develop and manage your territory quickly, I can sell you a batch of agricultural machinery at a low price, in installments, with no interest."
"Look at this, the multi-functional agricultural vehicle is capable of plowing, sowing, weeding, pest control, harvesting and storage all intelligently, without human intervention in the whole process."
This is a low-tech product from the planet Terra, but it would be black technology if placed on Earth, let alone in the world of the Qing Empire.
"Each car costs 100,000 yuan and can be repaid in installments. If you want to buy one, hurry up."
purchase!
It would be a mistake not to buy it.
With this agricultural vehicle, you basically don’t have to worry about farm matters. Moreover, the intimidation of the natives by this magical big thing can be called Max.
Then, Xi Tong took out high-tech equipment such as multi-functional mining trucks, metal smelting plants, and weather control centers.
These are all high-tech equipment on the planet Terra, not to mention the weather control center. With it, the wind will definitely blow and the rain will rain.
In addition, there is a metal smelting plant. This equipment does not occupy a large area, but has fast smelting speed and high metal purity.
With this thing and a metal processing factory, it is easy to DIY any figure.
Of course, it can also be used to DIY clocks, carriages, firearms, or other weird things.
In the words of the students, this is a completely open game experience. There is nothing you can't think of and nothing you can't do.
The only bad thing is that there are no barracks. All the population must be bought from the mall or recruited from the wild.
