It was the first time for these two little brothers to be exposed to such a lively environment. Although they both have true dragon blood, children are just children, and their minds are no different from ordinary human children. In this Yuqing Sect, everything the siblings saw was new, and they were able to come into contact with so many people. It was like children visiting an amusement park for the first time.
It's just that while the younger brother is having fun, the disciples of the Yuqing Sect are out of luck. In just ten days, there was no one in the Yuqing Sect who had not been teased by the younger brother. In particular, with the help of mirage beads, the little bully can create illusions that are difficult to distinguish between true and false. I don't know how many people have fallen in love with this illusion and done many stupid things that make people laugh or cry.
However, he was just a child after all, so he didn't cause anything out of control. Moreover, a pink and tender little loli is always easy to gain understanding from others, and gradually gained many fans in Yuqing Sect.
Of course, in addition to their love for them, the fans of the siblings may actually have another thought. To use a proverb in the technology world, "If you can't beat him, then join him." Not to mention the identity of the younger brother, even if they really take action, the Nascent Soul Ancestor may not be their opponent, let alone those disciples who are building foundations and refining Qi.
Therefore, if you want to avoid being teased by the little brother, the best way is to become a fan of the little brother.
Seeing that the younger brother was having a great time at Yuqing Sect and did not do anything excessive, Ye Zan felt at ease to do his own research. The merits of Lingdao were actually prepaid to him by Heaven. Although he would continue to gain merits with the promotion of Lingdao in the future, it would certainly not be too much. Therefore, if he now wants to earn a lot of merit as quickly as possible, he must find a way in other ways.
The follow-up research on genetically modified crops no longer requires Ye Zan to invest too much energy. With the previous successful experience of spiritual rice, the master brain can conduct more research independently. Then, Ye Zan turned his attention to public transportation in the small world of Immortal Palace, which had gone through certain social adaptability experiments.
And in this Shenhua Realm, if you want to develop public transportation, you will naturally have to cooperate with the secular imperial power. Therefore, Ye Zan naturally thought of the Tang Dynasty, which first helped him promote Qianli Sound Transmission.
"Disciple pays homage to my uncle!" The person who paid homage to Ye Zan was Li Haoran, the third prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Once, Li Haoran was unable to practice Taoism due to physical problems, but after taking charge of Datang Communications, Ye Zan cured the genetic defects in his body and admitted him to the Yuqing Sect.
Today, although Li Haoran still serves as the "CEO" of Datang Communications, more specific work has been handed over to others. He himself is concentrating on cultivating Taoism in Yuqing Sect, and has successfully entered the foundation building realm. In this way, the emperor and prince of the Tang Dynasty were actually very relieved about Li Haoran, and no one wanted to take advantage of him as the "CEO" of Datang Communications.
"Oh, Haoran, no need to be polite, just get up and sit down." Ye Zan asked Li Haoran to stand up and pointed to the chair next to him, indicating that Li Haoran should sit there.
Everyone in the Yuqing Sect knew Ye Zan's temperament quite well, so Li Haoran came to the chair and sat down without any excuse. Then, without any polite words of compliments, he directly asked why Ye Zan came to see him, and said: "I don't know if my uncle summoned his disciples to come here, but what are his instructions?"
Ye Zan nodded and said: "Yes, I have recently developed something that I plan to promote in the Shenhua Realm like a thousand-mile sound transmission, so I asked you to come here to see if the plan is feasible."
Hearing this, Li Haoran also cheered up. The thousand-mile sound transmission is now spread all over the world, and it has brought communication convenience to countless people. Not to mention those ascetics, even the most ordinary secular mortals have also benefited greatly from it. Now, Uncle Shi has something new, and he wants to promote it like Qianli Chuanyin. Since he has found him, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is obvious that he wants to start with the Tang Dynasty.
Although from the use of Qianli Transmission, the conveniences and benefits that the Tang Dynasty can obtain are the same as those of other countries that have established communication networks. However, because the Tang Dynasty was the first to eat crabs, it also gained a lot of fame among the countries in the domain.
This reputation seems to be quite false, but for a country, it can still boost the self-confidence of its citizens. This can be said to have played a considerable role in consolidating the rule of the Li royal family, which is incomparable to any other practical benefits.
"Uncle-Master, please feel free to give your orders. As long as it is something that Uncle-Master-Master orders, we, the Tang Dynasty, will fully support it." Li Haoran immediately stood up and assured Ye Zan.
Ye Zan waved his hand, motioning for the other party to sit down, and then said: "This matter is much more difficult to do than the previous Thousand Miles of Sound Transmission. Moreover, even if it is done, it will have a great impact on Datang." There are benefits, but if you don’t follow the rules I gave you, big problems can easily occur.”
Ye Zan said the ugly things first. Although it seems that all problems in the small world of Immortal Palace can be easily solved, that is because he has access to Yuqing Dao Palace and has sufficient control over the society of the small world. However, when the problems of the small world are brought to the Shenhua Realm, Ye Zanke does not have such great control. It may be okay for the Tang Dynasty, but when it goes a step further and promotes public transportation to other countries further away, it will be troublesome to solve the problem.
"Uncle Master, please rest assured that we, the Tang Dynasty, will definitely act in accordance with Uncle Master's regulations and will never allow any deviation in this matter." Li Haoran quickly stood up and said.
"Well," Ye Zan nodded and said with a smile: "Haoran, you must be curious, what exactly do I want to come up with for Datang this time?"
Of course Li Haoran was curious, but he never dared to ask more questions. Hearing this, he couldn't help scratching his head and said: "Well, the disciple is indeed a little curious, but the disciple also believes that as long as it is something that the master and uncle want to do, it must be done." It’s an unusual event.”
"Come on, I'll take you to take a look first." Ye Zan said and stood up.
When Li Haoran heard that he could actually see it with his own eyes, he was immediately very excited and curious, and he quickly stood up.
"Relax, don't resist." Ye Zan said as he offered up the jade ball, and a ray of light brought Li Haoran into the jade ball space. Of course, it was an independent space with nothing.
Then, Ye Zan used the Immortal Palace Token and came to the small world of Immortal Palace again, and went directly to a station.
There are relatively few people in this station. After all, in a world like this, people don’t have much need to travel far. Many people may never leave the small town where they live from birth to death. Their life-long needs can be met in the small town, so naturally they will not leave their hometown and go thousands of miles away. Only those wealthy businessmen, perhaps because of business, or perhaps because they have money and want to show off, will take this advanced means of transportation.
In fact, even in the technological world, except for intercity railways and subways, passenger transportation is not the main business in long-distance railway transportation. In the early days of ancient China, during the so-called Spring Festival, during the traditional festival Spring Festival, the demand for passenger transportation soared countless times, making it impossible to adjust the railway transportation capacity.
Therefore, in this small world, and even in the Shenhua realm in the future, it can be foreseen that passenger transport will still not be the main business of the railway, and it is freight transport that really makes the railway play its greatest role.
Arriving at the station, Ye Zan sacrificed the jade ball and released Li Haoran.
As soon as Li Haoran came out of the Jade Ball Space, his attention was immediately attracted by this "special" station. You must know that the vast majority of buildings in the Shenhua Domain are still supported by wooden beams and columns, so they are also subject to certain limitations in space. As for the station built by Ye Zan in Little World, considering the construction cost and maintenance usage, it all uses a steel frame structure, and it looks much taller and more spacious.
"Don't look at this. This was just to save trouble. It's not the point of showing you this time." Ye Zan called Li Haoran, turned around and walked towards the side of the station.
Li Haoran came back to his senses, with a slight blush on his face. He quickly followed and said, "Master, uncle, forgive me. This disciple was also absorbed by this strange building and became a little distracted."
Ye Zan waved his hand while walking in front and said, "It's okay, don't be so nervous. What you are going to see next is something that can really change the world."
Hearing what Ye Zan said, Li Haoran's curiosity was suddenly raised to the top, and he followed Ye Zan all the way.
Ye Zan led Li Haoran and quickly arrived at the platform inside the station. In fact, compared to the technology of the interstellar era, rail transportation is already very backward. However, the railway system that Ye Zan built in the small world also used a lot of more advanced technologies, such as operating mechanisms, safety measures, etc.
Inside the platform, there was a locomotive parked. Of course, this was not the original kind of thing that made a noise and emitted black smoke. Moreover, it was not a nuclear-powered locomotive, but a locomotive that was transformed into a magic weapon and powered by spiritual energy or mana. The locomotives running in the entire transportation network, whether it is the control of specific locomotives or the overall deployment of locomotives, will be managed by artificial intelligence.
Seeing the strange-looking motorcycle, Li Haoran was really shocked again. He didn't know what kind of power this thing like a steel dragon would have. But soon, he saw that behind the steel dragon, goods were being loaded into open or closed carriages. He was not a fool. He knew as soon as he saw it that this thing should be used to transport goods. After all, he had never seen a locomotive or a horse-drawn carriage.
However, even if he knew that this steel dragon was used to transport goods, Li Haoran was still shocked by the "eating appetite" of this steel dragon. He stood here, looking at the goods being loaded into the steel dragon not far away, and he couldn't help but compare it with the traditional horse-drawn carriage transportation. In just such a short time, the goods loaded into the steel dragon already required an extremely large fleet to transport them.
As a prince, even though Li Haoran practiced Taoism, when he saw this scene, the first thing that came to his mind was the transportation of military supplies. Think about the cost of transporting military supplies from the Tang Dynasty to the border garrison every year. People chewed and fed the horses along the way. It would be good to have one third of a cart of grain left over there. Of course, there must be some tricks here, but it is also true that transportation consumes a lot of money, and there will be various accidents along the way.
If the huge transport team is replaced by the current steel dragon, even if the steel dragon can't move faster than the carriage, the consumption in the middle will definitely be reduced a lot. Of course, there is a prerequisite for saying this, that is, the consumption of this steel dragon should not be too terrifying. If the steel dragon needs to consume a spiritual stone for each trip, then I am afraid that no country can afford this thing.
"Uncle Master, I wonder how much it costs to run this big steel guy?" Li Haoran thought of this and couldn't help but ask Ye Zan.
Ye Zan smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. This... let's call it a dragon cart. The consumption of the dragon cart is of course related to the volume of cargo. But generally speaking, it can be said that , an ordinary-sized low-grade spirit stone is enough for it to travel a million miles."
If we say that it is just the spiritual energy of a low-grade spiritual stone, it is certainly impossible for such a locomotive to really run a million miles in one breath. However, in terms of power of the motorcycle, Ye Zan used the spirit-gathering runes, and the main consumption of the low-grade spirit stones was only in activating the runes.
For the secular royal family, although low-grade spiritual stones are also very precious, they are not that difficult to obtain. A piece of ordinary-sized low-grade spiritual stone can allow a locomotive to run a million miles, and the Tang Dynasty can still afford this consumption. What's more, this transportation is not all about paying and not getting anything in return. For example, the court can collect some benefits from the transportation of bulk goods by those wealthy merchants.
Then, Ye Zan took Li Haoran to a carriage in front of the locomotive, and the door of the carriage opened automatically as the two arrived.
This carriage can be considered a business class car. There are not too many seats arranged inside, and there are already several people chatting there. Hearing the car door open, someone turned to look over and saw Ye Zan who walked in first. As soon as he saw Ye Zan's robe, the man who looked like a wealthy businessman hurried over to greet him, bowed and said, "Is this the mage from Yuqing Taoist Palace?"
"Yes," Ye Zan nodded, and then asked: "Are these the owners of those goods?"
"Exactly, we are the owners of the goods. I don't know if the mage is here, but is there anything wrong with the goods I'm waiting for?" Those few stood up and looked at Ye Zan with some uneasiness. After all, to people in this world, the mages in Yuqing Taoist Palace are all gods-like figures, so no one dares to be disrespectful in the slightest.
