After standing at the entrance of Beidou Academy for a long time, the young master walked towards the academy. But he was stopped by the guard. If you want to enter the academy, you must register and verify your identity. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to enter.
The young master is a little stubborn. Even if I tell you a false identity, can you still track him down all over the world?
But the housekeeper next to him looked at the doorman in front of him who was all in the divine stage, his face turned a little pale, and he quickly handed over his identity certificate.
A guard took the ID card and looked at it, and smiled softly: "Okay, isn't he the prince of the Kingdom of Yulin? Why are you still afraid of meeting people?"
The young master immediately muttered, "Be low-key, be low-key as a person."
"Haha..." The guard in the transformation stage fumbled with a Bagua plate made of spiritual jade in his hand for a while, and then said with a smile, "The young prince Lin Gengyue of Yulin Kingdom...well, he is indeed a very low-key person.
If you like a woman during the day, you will send experts to rob her at night. It is much more low-key than those who rob people on the street."
"Ahem... This is our domestic matter. Didn't Dayang Group say that it will not interfere in other people's internal affairs?"
"I'll just tell you. Okay, let's go in. But be sure to abide by the rules and regulations here. Otherwise, you may be thrown out."
"Hmph... Your Beidou Academy claims to be open to the public, but you have set up so many thresholds. I feel... well... I feel... unhappy."
"No one asked you to come!" The doorman in the transformation stage seemed to be very talkative.
Although Beidou University welcomes visitors, especially the newly established public library and observatory, which are fully open to the public, not everyone can enter.
If it is a casual cultivator, someone must prove their identity and provide guarantee, and it will take Dayang Group several days to investigate.
Once identity fraud is discovered, Dayang Group will definitely pursue the case. Don’t doubt Dayang Group’s intelligence system.
In fact, ordinary people at the Nascent Soul stage and below basically don't dare to lie to this guard, and there are 10 people at the God Transformation stage!
And if you want to cheat during the transformation stage, it will be even more difficult.
For most people in the God Transformation stage, there is no need to cheat; there are not many who can fake it, and you can count them with your fingers. The world is big, but it is not big for the God Transformation stage. If you put a bounty on it, you can't even run away.
There is nowhere to run.
Nowadays, a large number of masters in the Golden Body Realm are extremely jealous.
Finally entering the academy, young master Lin Gengyue looked at the students walking by in twos and threes in front of him, his eyes seemed to be frozen.
The students in front, wearing simple but clean and energetic school uniforms, walked together in twos and threes, holding books in their hands, discussing various issues with each other.
Lin Gengyue's cultivation is not bad, he is in the Nascent Soul stage, and he can hear subtle discussions in the distance. But unfortunately, he can hear every word clearly, but he can't understand the combination.
There are signs at the intersections indicating public libraries, observatories, museums and other places. Only a few places are for tourists to visit. The remaining tourists are not allowed to enter, otherwise they will bear the consequences.
Lin Gengyue looked at the strong learning atmosphere in front of him, and felt a little yearning in his heart. However, the butler next to him was actually the prince's junior master, so he took the lead and walked forward.
They first came to the library. The library is more than 30 meters high and divided into nine floors. The space on each floor is about 3.5 meters. It is very wide, bright and relaxing. Reading here is indeed an experience.
The library is more than 200 meters long and can accommodate 50,000 people reading at the same time.
There are millions of books in the library, and basically all the books that can be found on the market are available here. Even well-known newspapers such as the Ocean Daily are included.
In addition, there are also some teaching materials from Dayang Group.
The information in the library is being updated all the time. You can even see a lot of internal information about the Xuanming Sect here.
What makes this library even more famous is that there are also materials obtained from the Immortal Mountain, which are placed on the ninth floor for everyone to refer to.
However, although the library is open, it is not free. The first level fee is one spiritual stone per person per day. The second level is two yuan, the third level is five yuan, the fourth level is 10 yuan, the fifth level is 100, and the third level is 100 yuan.
The sixth level is 500, the seventh level is 1,000, and the eighth level has one high-grade spiritual stone, which is 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
Ninth floor, 10 high-grade spiritual stones!
If it is less than one day, it will be calculated as one day.
To use a saying in front of the library: spiritual stones are valuable, knowledge is priceless!
"You're looking for money!" Lin Gengyue said sourly. This library can accommodate 50,000 people at the same time. Since its completion, it has received at least about 20,000 people every day. This number is currently increasing. And those who come here to read,
Most people will go to the ninth floor to take a look.
A rough estimate shows that the library's daily profitability is no less than 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones, and a library's annual profit is as high as 40 million!
"Big dog!" Lin Gengyue had to praise him at this time. The profitability of a library in one year was actually comparable to the annual fiscal revenue of a large country in the past!
Going back nine years, the year when Yulin Kingdom's fiscal revenue was the highest, Lin Gengyue remembered that it should be more than 36 million high-grade spiritual stones.
Lin Gengyue went directly to the ninth floor, which was actually overcrowded. A large number of people were reading information from Xianshan. In addition to these, the ninth floor also had astronomical information from Dayang Group, as well as technical information that Dayang Group had disclosed. Here
You can even see the design drawings of the "Thunder Cannon".
The Thunder Cannon is the cannon with a range of more than 80 kilometers. This thing has completely changed the rules of war in the entire world.
Lin Gengyue watched until the next morning, put down the difficult basics of fluid mechanics in his hands, and said to the teacher next to him in amazement: "Sir, Dayang Group is crazy about money. So many excellent things have been made public."
"Because they don't care!" Young Master Huang Youquan shook his head slightly, "This thunder cannon has been developed three or four years ago. But until now, the range of our cannon can only reach... ahem, not as good as the ocean
The group’s thunder cannon.”
Lin Gengyue seemed to be mumbling to himself: "Why? Why did Dayang Group make all its technologies public, and we couldn't reach their height after three or four years?"
Huang Youquan smiled and said seriously: "Your Highness, it's not that we are inferior, but that we can't catch up! In fact, the range of our current artillery is very far, which is a huge difference compared to the original range of more than ten kilometers.
It’s just… Dayang Group is progressing too fast.”
Lin Gengyue was stunned for a moment, and then a light of wisdom flashed in his eyes. "Teacher, you are right, Dayang Group has progressed too fast. Now, they are progressing even faster.
Eight years ago, they built Beidou Academy. Now, the first batch of students have begun to enter the core of Dayang Group.
It was not until last year that we finally established the school, and there were still various interests entangled, and there are still disputes to this day!
Teacher, I have decided. After I return, I will ask my father to start reforms and be tougher. If we continue to be indecisive, the country of Yulin will be in danger."
Huang Youquan shook his head slightly: "It's difficult! Not to mention that the Lingbo Group is here with us, and the core of the entire Xiaoyao Sect is with us. As for you, Your Highness, you have five brothers above you!"
Lin Gengyue's eyes suddenly froze. In this society where the monarchy is centralized, the succession of the monarch is based on the inheritance system of the eldest son; unless something happens to the eldest son.
If Lin Gengyue wanted to inherit the throne, all the five brothers above his head would have to have accidents, and his father would have to have problems. But now, there is nothing wrong with the emperor of Yulin Kingdom.
Faced with this situation, Lin Gengyue could only act anxiously.
After leaving the library, Lin Gengyue went to the museum. Most of them were pictures, but they also painted a magnificent side. Dayang Group does not have a long history, but Dayang Group has glory that many holy places do not have. Dayang Group opened up
The open sea!
On a huge painting with an area of over a hundred meters, the world including the Zhulong Continent is marked, the routes are marked, every step of the Ocean Group is marked, and the mountains, rivers, and products in different places are also marked.
, country, sect, etc.
Everything is clearly visible here.
Suddenly, Lin Genggyue discovered to his horror that the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Yulin could be found here, and the surrounding terrain was so clear.
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Lin Gengyue's forehead: "Where did Dayang Group get this information? The entire continent needs to be surveyed and mapped. This workload must be huge, right?"
Just as he was talking, he saw the staff of the Dayang Group getting busy next to him. A person who was supposed to be a casual cultivator sent a piece of terrain information. The experts of the Dayang Group opened the enchantment of the painting and added the terrain information. There,
It is the missing part of the Dayan Mountains.
The Dayan Mountain Mountains, referred to as Dayan Mountain, is a natural dividing line in the north between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect.
After supplementing the information, the casual cultivator received a check on the spot and left with a smile.
"Reward! Another reward! Can you do whatever you want if you have money?" Lin Gengyue gritted his teeth.
Just as he was talking, he saw an expert dressed in Xuanzhen sect clothes coming over. He rubbed the entire painting with magic and deposited it into a jade slip. He turned around and gave a check to the staff of Dayang Group and then left.
.
Lin Gengyue was a little confused. Is this a museum? Why does it feel like an information trading system?
Then Lin Gengyue looked at the hot air balloon model, the battleship model, some animal and plant specimens, paintings, etc.
Finally, Lin Gengyue arrived at the observatory. He saw that the observatory was already overcrowded. There were a total of 100 astronomical telescopes, and there were thousands of people queuing up.
Lin Gengyue couldn't wait any longer and asked Huang Youquan to discuss with the people in front of him whether he could buy an opportunity to jump in line, but he was rejected.
Next to them, the masters of Dayang Group strictly maintained discipline. Here, you can only queue up to prevent all illegal transactions.
Dayang Group builds this observatory and so on to create a good reputation for itself, and no stain is allowed to exist.
According to the regulations of the observatory, each person can only use it for one hour at a time, whether it is day or night. However, the price is cheap during the day, one spiritual stone per hour; and the price is expensive at night, 10 spiritual stones per hour.
In fact, for most practitioners, the price of 10 spiritual stones per hour is not something they take seriously. The fees charged by the observatory are not expensive for them.
The most expensive thing is time!
There are a total of 100 public astronomical telescopes, which can only be used for one hour at a time, and the queue time often takes three or four days.
While waiting, Lin Gengyue could only observe the surroundings, or discuss the situation with the service staff of the nearby Ocean Group. The Ocean Group also has free-to-read atlases. There is no excellent camera technology at the moment, and these atlases are made by astronomers.
They were hand-drawn by astrologers in the past, but they were all exquisite.
These albums are placed on the wall cabinet in the living room for everyone to use at will.
Lin Gengyue picked up an album titled Moon Phases and observed it casually, but soon became immersed in it. There was a detailed introduction in the album.
After several years of observation, astronomers from the Ocean Group finally roughly calculated the distance from the earth to the moon, the distance to the sun, etc.
In this moon phase, the calculation method of Ocean Group is given.
First of all, the moon phases clearly express the relationship between the sun, the moon, and the earth, and describe the causes of the moon phases.
Secondly, because the sun is very large and far away, the sunlight can be seen as approximately parallel. This leads to the conclusion that the projection of Tianyuan Star onto the moon is consistent with the size of Tianyuan Star.
Third, by calculating the moon phase changes, we can know the arc occupied by the Tianyuan star’s black shadow in the moon’s orbit.
Fourth, pick up mathematical tools and do calculations on paper.
Dayang Group used a kind of trigonometric mathematics called cotangent to get a result: about 526,670 kilometers!
The more Lin Geng watched, the more shocked he became. Each moon phase made him feel his own insignificance, and even more so, the terror of Dayang Group.
After waiting for three days, Lin Gengyue was lucky enough to catch the night and see the bright crescent moon. Through the astronomical telescope, the invisible part of the moon could be seen vaguely.
"That's the part blocked by the shadow of Tianyuan Star. In fact, there is no Tengu eating the moon. The shadow of Tianyuan Star is the culprit." Next to him, a student from Dayang Group explained in his own immature voice.
This is a 16-year-old boy who is about to graduate from Beidou University this year.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Lin Gengyue's eyes were a little solemn. The new generation of Dayang Group has begun to grow up. From now on, Dayang Group is no longer an existence without a foundation.
Before leaving, Lin Gengyue took another look at the two-meter-high astronomical telescope in front of him, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
Telescope technology has been spread for a long time, but so far no holy place or country can produce an astronomical-level telescope.
After staying with Dayang Group for more than half a month, Lin Gengyue visited the port and the factories that Dayang Group allowed to visit. In the end, Lin Gengyue purchased a large amount of steel according to the plan and the agreement with Dayang Group.
Machine tools and mechanical equipment, as well as the most sought-after single crystal spiritual materials, have finally returned.
On the train returning, Lin Gengyue looked at the four fist-sized pieces of metal in front of him, with wonder in his eyes.
In front, there are four pieces of black iron, red copper, mithril and fine gold. These are the four most commonly used spiritual materials. But these four are different now, they are single crystal structures.
The purity is as high as four nines. Just by simply placing it here, it can absorb the surrounding spiritual energy and form a hazy luster on the surface, like silk. In the haze, the four metals seem to be a bit translucent.
This thing is also extremely expensive. It is not sold by the kilogram, but by the gram!
After looking at it for a long time, Lin Gengyue opened the purchasing manual again. This time he went to Dayang Group and had contacted him via telegram in advance. The purchase amount was as high as 300 million high-grade spiritual stones. The Yulin Kingdom Royal Trading Company was
All the profits of several years have been invested in it.
Lin Gengyue, as the most favored young prince by the emperor, and because of his mother's concubine, was able to take over the royal trading company of the Kingdom of Yulin: Hongyue Group.
As a national group, Hongyue Group has developed very well in recent years and has also embarked on the road of industrial expansion. This time when purchasing from Dayang Group, there is a development plan for industrial expansion. Of course, it is also for the upcoming call.
Chaos, and even preparations for war.
Nowadays, even ordinary people who occasionally read newspapers can know that the world is about to change, let alone the prince Lin Gengyue.
In the evening, the roaring train slowed down slowly, and Lin Gengyue sighed. This was the time to pass through the checkpoints of the Country of Qixia and the Country of Canglan. Although many railways have shares of Dayang Group, the country where the railway is located also has shares.
, and when entering and exiting different countries, there are always tariffs.
Lin Gengyue didn't need to come forward. The prince's young master Huang Youquan came forward and paid the customs duties.
After everyone on the train paid their duties and replenished fuel, the train started again. After that, it passed through the Kingdom of Shaoze and entered the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty.
Lin Gengyue looked at the receding scene outside the window, his mind gradually became distant, and he thought of many things.
The current train speed, the internal railway of Qixia Kingdom can reach 200 kilometers; even now, the railway speed is 150 kilometers per hour, which is already equivalent to the speed of a demon horse-drawn carriage.
However, the railway travels almost in a straight line, while the carriage travels in a curve. The train does not need to rest, and the monster horse cannot do it. It must rest for at least six hours a day. The train needs oil, and the monster horse needs to eat something good.
There is also the scale of transportation. There is simply no comparison between horse-drawn carriages and trains.
Lin Gengyue was thinking when suddenly there was a violent explosion, and the train was shaking violently. Along with a clang, the train began to bump, and there was the harsh sound of steel friction everywhere.
The next moment, there were suddenly tentacles of magic wrapped around the train, and the train stopped quickly; everything in the car flew forward.
"What's going on!" Lin Gengyue jumped up suddenly.
But the next moment, a strong pressure suddenly came from the sky, as if the sky was collapsing and dark clouds covered the sky.
A loud voice echoed between heaven and earth: "Everyone, I am honored to tell you that you have been robbed. Now, listen up. Everyone lines up to get out of the car and leave all your storage rings, personal belongings, etc. behind.
Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences!
Come on, don't delay."
Lin Gengyue's heart skipped a beat. He came out and saw that there were... more than two thousand masked gods in the sky!
