Extraordinary Sailing

St. Ivan, downtown.

At the gate of the "Holy White Women's College" of the Principality's higher education institution, a group of young and beautiful girls wearing the uniform of the unified college walked out of the school gate.

Their upper bodies are grass-green slim-fitting formal uniforms, and their lower bodies are knee-length light gray skirts. Under the skirts, pairs of slender and straight calves are wrapped in exquisite black, white, flesh-colored, and purple stockings.

Nowadays, with the rapid development of the principality's "petroleum industry", the production capacity of nylon stockings has been greatly increased, and the scarcity of luxury goods in the early years is no longer there.

Beauty-loving women all over the world have praised it, such as: "As thin as a spider's silk, as strong as a steel wire, as beautiful as a silk", although it is exaggerated, it is not too outrageous.

However, even the logical blemish of "it can keep you warm in winter and keep you cooler in summer" can't stop their love for beauty regardless of seasons.

beep!

Although the stretched internal combustion engine-powered school bus with the "Jeweled Emblem" badge at the school gate had already started, the group of girls flocked to the street opposite the school gate.

Heads squeezed together, before a coin-operated cigarette and perfume vending machine that can be seen everywhere in the Principality.

A copper plate was dropped, and a cloud of colorless incense sprayed from the silver-plated nozzle.

"Top notes: tea, mugwort, orange blossom, middle notes: pepper, cardamom, moss, base notes: hibiscus, rose, jasmine.

That's right, it really is the 'Qinghuan White Tea Series' prepared by us, and the vending machine company has started to fully distribute the goods! "

"It's great. With this grade, we can directly join Sekhmet Biopharmaceutical Company after graduation."

"Hahaha"

With the beautiful girls clapping hands to celebrate.

Boo! Boo! Boo!

A group of flower fairies in the shape of little girls flapped their wings and jumped out of the shoulder bags of the same style on their shoulders, babbling and dancing around them.

It can be clearly seen that their heads are covered with tea leaves, mugwort, orange blossom, hibiscus, roses, and jasmine.

It is the raw material of "Qinghuan White Tea".

In fact, each of these girls carried a thick tome—"Magic Book: Encyclopedia of Monsters" in the cowhide satchel on their shoulders.

This group of undoubted transcendents is the [Supernatural Profession: Monster Scholar] created by An Qi, a [Divine Creature] who has already strode on the path of the [Goddess of Harvest].

By intensively studying the habits of various monsters, including: temperament, ability, talent, and living environment. To cultivate specific "monsters", the most important thing is how to reach a contract with them to borrow power.

Naturally, some of them are good at fighting, while others are better at producing, just like this group of girls from good families who dream of joining the world's largest pharmaceutical company.

at this time.

It has been more than ten years since the completion of the steam industrial revolution. The productivity of human countries has risen sharply, and the social form of the whole world has undergone profound changes.

This is something everyone can see and experience for themselves.

The development of productivity, the complexity of product structure, the replacement of equipment, and the endless demand for funds all require that the scale of production must be expanded, and equipment and funds must be more concentrated.

As Aiwen originally predicted, under such special requirements, whether it is [Monarch Shield] countries or [International Democratic League] countries, free capitalism.

All began to gradually transition to monopoly capitalism, that is, "imperialism", and monopoly organizations came into being.

Especially with the great development of "Broken Star Sea", abundant materials are continuously being sent to the civilizations, and the human world has entered a great era of unprecedented technological innovation!

During this period, old concepts are gradually revised and new consciousness begins to be established.

From steam engines to internal combustion engines to electric motors, from civil steamships to tungsten filaments of light bulbs, from differential engines to wireless power transmission... all kinds of magnificent scenes are possible.

This is an era in which ideas are not limited and geniuses emerge in large numbers.

but.

In the days of the steam industry, science had little significant influence on industry.

Few of the inventions hitherto in textiles, mining, metallurgy, and transportation have been made by scientists, except those dominated by the "school of alchemy."

Instead, they were mostly done by talented craftsmen, as a matter of course in response to strong economic incentives.

Since the completion of the steam industrial revolution, science has played an increasingly important role.

Industrial research laboratories, equipped with expensive instruments and staffed by well-trained scientists, replaced the attics and workshops of the solitary inventor.

The systematic science and technology born in the laboratory began to greatly affect the industry, and the production technology in a large number of industrial fields has been improved and applied.

The scientific geniuses who study the high-tech revolution have brought countless novelty things to this world.

They themselves are also sought after by the public and capital, and the combination of invention and business has made this group of trendsetters a lot of money.

And airships, battleships, penicillin, "Theory of Evolution", "Modern Medicine", "Periodic Table of Elements". The rapid development of science and technology.

It not only broadens people's material world, but also broadens the depth and breadth of people's understanding of the world.

In fact, at this time, it is also the time when the supernatural beings, demon gods, and wizards of the relevant paths are shining, and the trend of "weak compensation" has been pushed to an unprecedented height.

The mundane and extraordinary worlds work together, and the technology accumulation of more than ten years has ushered in dizzying periods of explosion one after another.

therefore.

Not just science and technology itself, when the extraordinary isolation is completely broken, the whole world has become completely different.

Radios across the Black Sea, radio broadcasts, gramophones, record players, cameras, telephones... All kinds of magical creations have swept the entire material world.

However, due to the inherent laws of technological development and the limitations of the existing industrial structure, the "Electrical Industrial Revolution" led by Aiwen and Olivia has not yet replaced steam technology as the mainstream.

But Ivan believes that this day should not be too far away.

Especially worth mentioning.

In this competition of science and technology, the main positions of [Monarch's Shield] and [International League of Democracy] are quietly shifting towards the two great powers facing each other in the New World.

Although the Principality of Garriott firmly grasps the direction of the future, and the "Golden Palm Federation" has collected an unknown number of evil supernatural beings and demon gods on the opposite side, it should not be underestimated.

for example:

In September 205 of the Haiyuan calendar, the passenger steamships "Sirius" and "Great West" belonging to two parties crossed the "Black Sea" in only 13 and 15 days respectively.

In half the time of the fastest sailing ship, the Clipper.

And because there is no need to consider the influence of wind and ocean currents, it has almost marked the complete realization of fast navigation in all seasons.

This kind of milestone achievement is enough to declare that all old sailing warships, including clipper ships, are completely out of class.

In November, the Principality of Garriott took the lead in launching the new topic of "food chemical industry", using the fermented monosodium glutamate of grain that was abundant in the year, and made a fortune in the whole world.

In the following year, in March 206 of the Haiyuan calendar, the Federation of Palme d'Or released a magical creation called "Nipkov's Disc".

This is a mechanical device for scanning pictures, which can be used to separate the light and dark signals in the image, and can also recombine the light and dark signals.

When the disk rotates, the small holes in it successively intercept the light signal of each point of the picture, and then recorded and transmitted by the photoreceptor, and the same black-and-white image can be reproduced on the other receiving disk.

Based on the radio communication invented by the Principality, they have been able to realize the instant transmission of visual intelligence with the help of the "Nipkov disc".

There are many similar inventions, such as artificial heart, underwater breathing apparatus, parachute, refrigerator and so on.

If there are those extraordinary old antiques who often retreat for several years to go out, they will be directly punished by this ever-changing world.

certainly.

Obviously, the competition in science and technology cannot be limited to the field of people's livelihood, or in other words, various inventions in the field of people's livelihood are just by-products of the military industry and the arms race.

And this kind of competition can't stay on paper endlessly.

In May 206, the Eritrean Sea between the southern mainland and the Peacock Islands.

beep--!

Just finished the inspection mission of the "Peacock Islands" colony, and is returning to the principality's strongest battleship [Super Dreadnought Prince Prince] for a friendly visit to Phalitis.

"Report to your Excellency, the sonar feedback, there are unknown things in the water following us!"
