Looking at the scene in front of him, the general felt that he was at a loss for words and could not express his shock in any words.
The first thing that was displayed in front of the general was the approach bridge.
As a super bridge across the sea, and also a super bridge in the world of spiritual practice, the approach bridge is ten kilometers long. The width of the bridge deck is a full 150 meters!
The bridge is currently under construction and has just reached the seaside. Pilings are being driven on the seaside.
After years of development and technology accumulation and research and development, Dayang Group's engineering machinery technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. Especially the engineering machinery developed for the mainland bridge, especially the engineering ships, has become crazy.
At this time, there are construction machinery driving piles on the shore.
The heavy hammer guide rail of the construction machinery is more than 500 meters high. The almost semi-solid black steel pillar below, which is 5 meters thick and 150 meters long, is hammered into the ground.
Every time the heavy hammer falls, it is like thunder, the earth trembles violently, and the sea water on the seaside is surprised by broken waves.
There are a total of 12 such construction machinery on the shore, arranged in two rows. Behind the construction machinery are six rows of steel columns nailed into the ground.
The steel columns are about 25 meters apart from left to right and 45 meters from front to back, extending all the way to the seaside.
After piling, workers will measure and cut the steel pipes, and then install the beams and supports.
On the beach, there are a large number of masters in the God Transformation stage who are using magic to separate the sea water. Two construction machines have completed piling on the ground and are heading into the ocean.
The length of the steel pipe used to drive piles in the sea has exceeded 180 meters!
From the rear, there seemed to be longer steel pipes arriving. Such heavy steel pipes were inconvenient to transport mechanically, so Dayang Group directly used tens of thousands of Nascent Soul Stages and thousands of Huashen Stages to participate in the construction.
Suddenly, a "dark cloud" flew close to the ground from the north. The general looked at it intently, and saw hundreds of steel pipes with a length of more than 180 meters above the thick clouds, and more than a dozen god-level masters were activating spells.
These masters quickly passed in front of the general and flew towards a 'hill' in the distance. However, when he looked carefully, the general had to take a breath: there are hills there, and they are simply piles of metal materials.
etc.
In the world of light, metals are scarce, but here, metals are everywhere. Those with abundant metals can only be used as building materials.
The ground trembled slightly, and the general suddenly turned his head to look behind him, only to see two new and huge construction machinery slowly approaching. The two huge construction machinery were each holding a bridge section 45 meters long and 25 meters wide.
Arriving with a rumble.
The bases of these construction machinery are more than fifty meters long, and the construction machinery adopts a multi-crawler structure. A huge construction machinery requires 12 sets of crawlers to support its huge size.
The heavy bridge section was placed easily and accurately. Workers came forward to complete the inspection and inserted nail bolts and other fixings.
The whole project is huge, but extremely efficient.
Two hours later, the construction machinery at the front had begun to enter the sea; the masters of transformation moved away the sea water and silt to provide convenience for the construction machinery.
This is how construction machinery began to enter the sea.
That is to say, there is magic in this world, and engineering work can be so willful. Of course, the reason why we pay so much attention to quality cannot be helped. There are monsters in the sea!
For bridge piers in the sea, after piling is completed, the settlement method must be used to add an outer cement protective layer to the bridge.
This time, the cross-sea bridge spans more than 14,000 kilometers and is not a straight line. There are trenches, sandstone areas, or particularly deep places that need to be bypassed.
Even so, the deepest part of the bridge is still as high as 1,400 meters! For the deep sea area, the only thing Dayang Group can do at present is to pile materials.
The undersea tunnel has not been considered, but the technical requirements are higher and it cannot be completed by stacking materials. Moreover, post-maintenance is troublesome and the circulation volume is small.
In contrast, for example, building a cross-sea bridge requires a huge initial investment, but subsequent maintenance is simple. The bridge is designed to have a service life of more than a hundred years!
Cao Bin and Zhao Rang walked with the general and others while explaining.
The general was even more shocked when he heard that the length of the bridge was 14,000 kilometers. A bridge is only that long, and the diameter of the world of light is only 5,000 kilometers! About 15,700 kilometers per week.
In other words, the length of this cross-sea bridge can almost circle the world of light!
And this is just one of many projects of Dayang Group.
However, the general observed for a long time and gradually discovered a problem: "During the construction process of your project, why don't you use experts to construct it? Instead, use such complex construction machinery?
If we use experts to build it, it will be faster and more efficient, right?"
Cao Bin smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang said that spells can only be auxiliary. In fact, roads built 'directly' with spells can only be used for a few months before problems will occur.
We don’t know much about the nature of spells, so the paths formed by spells have a loose structure and are all supported by spells. And spells have a time limit.
The other is to use spells to "indirectly" construct. Let's talk about roads. It is possible to use earth shaking to tamp the ground, but in this case the efficiency is not better than that of construction machinery, the efficiency is not good, and the quality is the most problematic.
The machinery will not be tired, the main maintenance and debugging will be enough. Construction machinery can achieve consistent quality; but it is difficult for experts to maintain consistent quality for thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers.
But people will get tired.
There is also the issue of cost. Using the cost of a master requires consuming spiritual stones and elixirs, but using construction machinery only consumes fuel. The difference in value is as much as three thousand times!"
In fact, there is another reason that Cao Bin would not say: technology can only improve through practice. However, this is the core concept of Dayang Group, but it is not appropriate to announce it to the outside world.
Technology needs to be accumulated, and nothing is achieved overnight. You cannot say that the current technology is a bit useless and should not be used. In that case, technology will never progress.
The Dayang Group's ability to uncover the secrets of the Dharma is itself an inevitable achievement achieved through its persistent pursuit of technology.
Based on the development of Dayang Group, even if we cannot uncover the secrets of the Dharma today, we will certainly be able to uncover it tomorrow. This is the benefit of the foundation.
Unlike other holy places and countries, unless there is some 'unexpected luck', it is almost impossible to discover the secrets of the Dharma on your own.
Anyway, Zhao Rang added a few words to the side, and the general nodded slowly, but looking at the bustling scene in front of him, there was still infinite shock and yearning in his eyes.
Only when I saw it with my own eyes did I understand how big the gap was. No wonder the civilized world is so disdainful to myself and others. No wonder I wanted to cooperate with Dayang Group but was arranged to observe. You observe first, and then we can talk.
Without observation, there is no way to talk about it.
After observing here for another two days, the general slowly learned that the language of the civilized world was actually the language of the Ocean Group.
The language of the Dayang Group is the language of the Qixia Kingdom. The pronunciation and so on are still different from those of the Eastern world. There are even differences in many characters.
But now that the Dayang Group is powerful, and many technical standards and practice standards (mainly Dharma images and new magic weapons) are all annotated in the Dayang Group's words, so now the Dayang Group's pronunciation has become one of the important language branches in the civilized world, and it is This one has the widest range of influence, bar none.
Basically it can be said that Dayang Group’s pronunciation is moving closer to Esperanto.
Of course, in this development process, Dayang Group's language pronunciation, characters, etc. are also learning from the outside world and making corrections.
Different pronunciations, meanings, word structures, etc. are not a big problem for daily communication. However, in terms of practice, especially in terms of exercises, there are often differences that are thousands of miles apart.
For example, 'ji' and 'ji'. 'ji' is a pictographic character, and its structure is the shape of tools such as coffee tables. If you count, 'ji' is correct, and it is a knowing character.
There are also 'hou' and '后'. '后' is the reverse deformation of 'SI', which means control; if it is a locative word, use 'hou'. You can't say 'Queen/Houtu', you can only say ' Queen/Queen'!
If you have a normal accent, such words can be used interchangeably; but if you are explaining and recording exercises, etc., you must not mix them up. Words such as ji, ji, 后, 后, etc. often appear in exercises.
Now Dayang Group is slowly changing such oral language mistakes.
Okay, I'm going too far. In a word, after learning the language of the Ocean Group, you can basically travel all over the known world without worrying about going to remote places.
It is not easy for the general and the others to learn a language in just a few days without cultivating the soul. Fortunately, the language of the light world and the language of the known world are of the same origin. Although it has been hundreds of thousands of years, there are still some differences. association.
Moreover, the general and others are not ordinary people after all. They have been studying for seven or eight days and can already communicate in a stumbling manner.
Therefore, the general personally inquired about a lot of information. For example, the Ocean Group invested a total of 3 billion spiritual yuan in the cross-sea bridge, and 1 spiritual yuan = one million yuan in banknotes.
Nowadays, the annual salary of an early stage god transformation master is about 12,000 spiritual yuan, which is quite high.
Even in the Dayang Group, with the emergence of Dharma masters in recent years, the salaries of the masters of transformation have been declining, but the salary of the Dayang Group has remained above 20,000.
The general asked Cao Bin and Zhao Rang about the relationship between Lingshi, Lingyuan, and Yuan.
Cao Bin directly took out five upper, middle and lower spirit stones and gave them to the general and others. "These are spirit stones. They can be used for practice, but they cannot be absorbed directly. A formation must be arranged. Direct absorption will affect the foundation of practice. .
Lingyuan, Yuan, is the name of a currency and also a unit.
This is Lingyuan's banknote, which is made from a mixture of fine gold and red copper and cannot be smelted and recycled.
This is Yuan, which is low-level Hunyuan fine gold.
At present, our currency, that is, banknotes are: 5 cents, 1 jiao, 5 jiao, 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 50 yuan, 100 yuan, 1000 yuan, 0.01 ling yuan, 0.05 ling yuan, 0.1 ling yuan, 0.5 Ling Yuan, 1 Ling Yuan, 5 Ling Yuan, 10 Ling Yuan, 100 Ling Yuan, these are the denominations.
These, together, constitute our monetary system.
In terms of purchasing power, you can buy a pound of brown rice for 2 to 3 cents, and a pound of high-quality glutinous rice for 5 cents. You can buy a low-level Peiyuan Pill for 100 yuan. The low-level magic weapon Feijian is used in the foundation building period.
Yes, from formal channels, it costs 1,500 to 2,000 yuan.
The salary of ordinary and excellent migrant workers here in Dayang Group is as low as 200 yuan per month, and the average income is about 240 yuan.
If they are skilled workers, workers with certain skills and working on the production line can earn at least 260 yuan per month, and the average income is about 300 yuan."
The explanation was so detailed that the general knew it well.
But it can also be seen from the above figures that there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor.
Masters in the transformation stage are still the most junior, and their annual salary is 12,000 spiritual yuan (high-grade spiritual stone), which is equivalent to 12 billion yuan.
The annual salary of an ordinary migrant worker is about 2,800 yuan. Even if you add in year-end bonuses and the like, it is only about 3,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 30 low-grade spiritual stones.
But this kind of income is already a high income from the perspective of the entire civilized world.
Finally, Zhao Rang added: "It's not bad here in Dayang Group. As long as you work harder throughout the year, you can always buy a few spiritual stones to practice at the end of the year. At least you have a chance to change your destiny, and children go to school for free, and all expenses are borne by Dayang Group.
In other countries, many people have been busy for a year and cannot even provide food and clothing, let alone see spiritual stones. Not to mention changing their destiny and practicing cultivation, even survival is a problem."
The general was silent. The outside world is by no means a paradise!
After a moment of silence, the general suddenly said: "Let's go look elsewhere."
Cao Bin answered: "Let's go to the Maotu Continent. There is a war there. The general can see how cruel the war in the civilized world is."
