Chapter 267 The Outcast of the Era

Lu Yao looked down at the world.

In Yaocheng, the steam stove directly led to the birth of printing and dyeing and textile machine technologies, giving Yaocheng a relatively stagnant economy a new vitality.

Merchants from all over the world once again poured into this ancient holy city. They lined up in long queues outside the printing and dyeing shop and textile house of the Temple Society. The merchants who had received the goods had a smile on their faces and happily ran to the sales place with their camels.

The vendors who are still waiting are impatient, with various thoughts constantly floating in their heads, worried that they will not be able to get the goods that day.

What is more intuitive is on the streets in the city.

The residents of Yaocheng are no longer monotonous in black, white and gray. They finally wear colorful red, yellow and green clothes, and the whole city becomes a lot brighter.

On the pier, the moored ships also hoisted flags of different colors to represent the different organizations they belong to, making it easier to identify them.

The advent of printing was a surprise.

Lu Yao checked the background and found that in fact, in the previous era, Yao Shao had already tried to mass-produce books in Ling Temple, which was also the prototype of printing.

Yao Shao repeatedly emphasized that if books could be mass-produced, it would play a huge role in the continuation and spread of knowledge throughout the city and even the entire Yao people.

But until her death, the research and development of printing was in the ceramic engraving stage. Not only was it difficult to cast characters, but it was also extremely fragile, and it was still in the stage of failure.

Later, when the era changed, Aedes mosquitoes and disaster beasts were rampant again, and the temple society had to tighten its manpower again.

The new leader, Cupilol, has not forgotten this incident. He has inherited Yaosiao's legacy and continues to invest manpower and material resources in research. The emergence of the steam furnace allowed the scholars of the Temple Society to add the last link of printing.

Yaocheng printing used metal molds and smoked ink as coating. The principle was similar to that of fire-steam furnace textile looms and fire-steam furnace forging. Steam drove reciprocating motion to complete printing on paper.

The birth of printing turned books into everyday commodities like textiles. In the past, handwritten books were rare and expensive, making it difficult for knowledge to circulate outside. It was basically in the hands of scholars and the wealthy class, and the monopoly of knowledge was completely ended.

Classic books such as "A Brief History of the Tribe", "Tribal Trading Code", "The Changes of Salt City", "Pava's Bizarre Adventure", "Ladybird", as well as the latest epic "The Sinner of the Abyss" and the biography "Crystal Empire" It was shipped from the temple printing house in Yao City and sent to all parts of the world, where anyone could pocket it.

No matter how eras and times change, Yaocheng still stands firmly at the cultural center of the entire world.

The sister cities to the west are a different story.

The first thing Lu Yao noticed was the land boat road laid outside Yancheng.

This kind of road has simple stone piers and wooden poles on both sides, and the ground is paved with a large amount of fine gravel. The road is not wide, but it is eye-catching enough. The boat road extends all the way east to the south gate of Yao City, and all the way south through the forest to the northern entrance of Sanilo.

The ground boat was driving on the gravel road.

They floated up from the ground to the ground, and shuttle-shaped or strip-shaped ground boats sailed on the boat channel. Their speed was much faster than the Crystal City flower boats, but they were only as fast as the horses. They were better than lasting and stable. .

The environment of the Western Continent is stable and safe, so the ground boat does not need to be equipped with a rose turret. It not only reduces the load, but also makes it easier to travel on the specially designed boat channel.

The boat roads and ground boats accelerated the exchange of goods and communication between Yancheng and the outside world, and it has now become an important commodity concentration and transfer station.

Whether it is the earthworms from the Dragon Nest in the north, the ores from Uda City, the glass from Crystal City, or the products made by the elves in the southern continent, or even the specialties of many archipelagos on the vast ocean, they can all be found in Yancheng.

Matching the ground boat is the steamboat on the sea.

A steamboat is a simply modified ship that is based on a galley and is equipped with a steam stove. When the wind was downwind, the sails could be used to move forward, and when the wind was upwind, the steam stove was used to push the oars on both sides, which was far from the level of a steam ship.

But even so, it has made human beings move faster on the sea.

Yancheng is still the richest city and a benchmark for economic and trade activity.

Lu Yao clicked to transform the large bathhouse and named it.

[Yancheng Bathhouse]: Yancheng is a large bathhouse built based on a steam furnace and can accommodate 800 people. There are hot water, warm water, cold water, steam and salt water baths inside.

Baths are a way for Yancheng people to negotiate cooperation, ease conflicts, and relax for banquets.

Yancheng Bathhouse is located in a city. The pressure on urban residents is slightly reduced, the transaction success rate is slightly increased, and the external attractiveness is improved.

The birth of this miracle brought smiles to the faces of the people of Yancheng. They surrounded the bathing place, holding white holy flowers and shouting the name of Yao.

“The god Yao loves our baths!”

"We have the best baths in the world. Everyone needs to bathe. This is Salt City!"

"The gods approve of bathing!"

"Life is not only about making money, but also about taking a bath!"

Lu Yao clicked on the bathhouse.

It is located in the south of Yancheng, close to the city gate. This is a large square building, comparable in size to the Colosseum of old.

The largest area in the bathhouse is a public bath, surrounded by many small cubicles.

Most people took a bath and chatted in public baths, while those who discussed business were in separate baths. At this point, bathhouse culture gradually became a local custom in Yancheng.

Led by the Twin Cities, cities have gained new vitality driven by new technologies, but for individuals, the new era is more like a strange banquet that cannot be refused.

The age of fire and steam is coming.

The fastest to accept and adapt to the new environment are scholars, craftsmen and businessmen.

The birth of the steam stove had the most direct impact on their fields. Many people immediately saw the opportunity and used the fire and steam stove for various purposes to take advantage of it.

This device has a wide range of applications, including smelting, forging, tool making, textiles, shipbuilding, etc., covering most handmade manufacturing industries.

Of course, some people cannot accept it.

Some scholars call it the "dangerous copper monster" and believe that the fire and steam stove itself is extremely risky. If used in large quantities, numerous fire and steam furnaces could explode and engulf the entire city in flames and steam.

They urged the public to ban the use of gas stoves.

Old-school craftsmen insist that the utensils forged by fire and steam furnaces are dull and the same. Only skilled craftsmen who make them by hand can give an utensil its unique texture and texture.

Among businessmen, there are also people who have been promoting the theory of the dangers of steam stoves and calling for the protection of craftsman traditions.

But these are just appearances.

What these businessmen want to say is that this kind of device, which is dangerous and threatens the work of craftsmen, must be expensive to fit its identity and positioning.

The price of gas stoves must be raised! And it’s best to limit purchases together!

The ultimate goal is of course to increase business profits.

But compared to these people, those who have suffered the greatest impact are actually martial monks, or in other words, practitioners who take a path that challenges their personal limits.

Fire and steam furnaces accelerated almost all handicraft industries, and the omnipotent stones from Crystal City continued to flow into the market, causing the quantity of sophisticated equipment to skyrocket, prices to continue to drop, and popularity to increase significantly.

The group of armored warriors grew crazily, and every city was filled with patrolling armored warriors. Extraordinary beings were also subject to strict order in the city.

Golden Field backend data shows that the Yancheng Martial Arts Association is in a very miserable state. The number of registered martial monks continues to decline, which means that many people have given up this profession and route, and parliamentary funding has been cut again and again.

In this context, a Yao man wearing broken ghost armor came outside the association.

"I want to apply to become a martial monk."

Lu Yao took a look.

It turns out to be the ghost warrior Nong Lei.

Instead of working as a locust killer outside the Crystal City, he came here to work as a martial monk?

After Lu Yao checked, he found that Nong Lei's level had actually reached LV22, and he could be called the Sword God of Shilipo in Crystal City.

"Is anyone there? I want to apply to become a martial monk."

Nong Lei shouted again.

The door of the association was closed, with only a guard dog lying at the door.

A passing hunter told him: "The receptionist of the association is in the nursing home today because of diarrhea. You can come back another day."

The other party said: "Many martial monks have withdrawn from the association and switched to armor. Now martial monks have no future and no money... Why are you so confused and still want to apply to join? You seem to be an armored person too."

Nonglei replied: "I have been aiming at Mr. Yanjiu since I was a child and have always wanted to become a martial arts monk."

"Yojiu is indeed amazing, but he has disappeared for many years. Times have changed, and this is no longer the time to be a martial monk."

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, the passers-by shook their heads and left.

Nong Lei is still waiting outside the door.
