    After the morning session the next day, Liu Xinyu took the train to Zhang's house with her guards.

    The tracks across the country are now double tracks, but there are branch roads at some important intersections for transferring, parking, and repairing locomotives.

    There are also specially parked locomotives here in the palace, which are specially prepared for Liu Xinyu and important officials. They also usually transport some important resources.

    ????????????????????? However, the departure of trains needs to be subject to unified scheduling. The trains here at the Palace depart on the hour.

    Nowadays, there is almost no communication inconvenience, command and dispatch, etc., and it all depends on controlling the departure time to control the operation, and adding sentries along the way to monitor the train operation.  Fortunately, there are only 12 locomotives in the country, plus 4 spares, so there is no problem for the time being.

    Liu Xinyu looked through the car window and saw the changes along the way.  The once dilapidated villages became prosperous - brick houses and two-story buildings began to appear.  Many of the mansions that once belonged to the nobles have become ruins, most of which were destroyed by Liu Xinyu's internal purge.  Most of the important towns we passed along the way had their city walls removed.

    Broad roads can be seen everywhere, and from time to time you can see migrant workers repairing damaged roads.  Nowadays, the roads are mainly made of rammed earth. Now that it is late winter, the water from melting ice and snow is destroying the integrity of the roads.  At this time, road contractors are speeding up road repairs.

    Tolls are now very considerable.  With the successful return of Ocean Group China Southern Airlines, with the commercial transformation of Xinglintang, and with the resumption of business, toll revenue has also increased.

    But now the toll competition is also fierce - if the road here is difficult or the toll is high, we will take another road!

    Free competition has bloomed in the land of Qixia.  In such an environment, on average, there are more than two highways connecting each town and city.  This creates competition virtually.

    Under such circumstances, highway contractors have to improve their services: better highway environment and more reasonable tolls.  And this kind of free competition seems to have brought prosperity to the country of Qixia for the time being.

    This is a country that has just begun to completely transform into industry and commerce. It is also a prosperous country where opportunities are everywhere.  In such an environment, as long as everyone is willing to work hard, they can get relatively good returns.

    The cost of building the road is expected to be recovered in just two years.  This also gets more people invested in the plan.

    Then Liu Xinyu saw the winter wheat again, in patches with no end in sight; and the spiritual rice grown in winter. These plants, which can grow to more than two meters, were undulating in the late winter wind. Occasionally, she could see busy farmers below.  Piles of broken spiritual stones were buried in the formation in the field.

    As the train was speeding, what Liu Xinyu saw was a prosperous country.

    "Without the nobles, the country will be better off!" Liu Xinyu couldn't help but mutter to herself.

    Hu Yinglan next to her didn¡¯t speak, she just stood quietly.  In fact, Hu Yinglan's cultivation level is not high, but he is the most credible.  Hu Yinglan is more like a multifunctional maid, and the only one who can always be by Liu Xinyu's side.

    The train did not arrive at the port until 14:00 in the afternoon. Zhang Hao had already led people to wait here for more than three hours.

    Liu Xinyu slowly stepped off the train with a faint smile on her face, "Zhang Hao, I noticed that you seem to be restless. Did you just participate in the renovation of Xinglin Hall?"

    "Your Majesty is wise. Please, the Pearl has been parked at the port, waiting for your Majesty's review."

    Liu Xinyu slowly walked towards the shore, but before she reached the shore, she saw a white battleship!

    As he got closer, Liu Xinyu saw it clearly.

    "Compared to the steely nature of the Zhiyuan and the Iron Duke, the current battleship is white.  The shape and size are similar to the Iron Duke - but more slender and slender. Ocean Group's shipbuilding technology is growing rapidly.

    It¡¯s just that there are no superstructures and artillery yet.

    On the side of the ship, there are fonts milled out of steel: Pearl.

    "Compared with the writing directly engraved on the hull of the Zhiyuan and Iron Duke, this writing is cut with steel and machine tools, and each word is about one meter long.  Sharp-edged steel diagonal lines are drawn out on the surface of the steel writing. The silver-white steel shines with the rays of the sun, making it dazzling.

    Liu Xinyu stood on the shore, her eyes a little straight.  The first time she saw this battleship, she was stunned.  She murmured to herself: "This battleship looks as noble as a swan!"

    Zhang Hao smiled and said: "Only a battleship like this is worthy of His Majesty!"

    Liu Xinyu looked at the battleship for a while, then turned slightly to look at Zhang Hao: "Why do you suddenly want to??Ahwhen the cannon is fired, the ship will float on the sea!  And punts are not stable.  After testing and calculations, we found that in a fierce combat environment, the stability and maneuverability of flat-bottomed boats are comprehensively weaker than our current warship designs.

    ¡°And your Majesty, don¡¯t worry, the production of steam turbines is not that simple.  Many people in China buy steam turbines. Who can produce steam turbines now?  "

    What is the core technology of steam turbine?  Is it a formation?  Is it Xuan Tie?  Or a spell?  None, but fluid mechanics and mathematics!  This thing doesn't know that all attempts to imitate steam turbines are in vain.

    The world of spiritual practice is certainly good, and there is a lot of accumulation.  However, there are also many shortcomings in the world of spiritual practice - too much emphasis is placed on spells, formations, etc., but far from enough research on basic physics.

    ¡°However, one cannot underestimate Langya Country because of this.  This is a world of cultivation. There are no steam turbines, but we still have formations!  If the country of Langya cannot develop a steam turbine in the end and directly use the battle method, it is not impossible, but it will consume too much.

    And once the formation is ready, this shipmaybe really can fly!

    Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu chatted about Langya Country for a while, and gradually came to the shore.  Suddenly Zhang Hao changed the subject, "Your Majesty, please come here today. There is another important matter."

    "Ohwhat's the matter?" Liu Xinyu had a smile in her eyes: Are you, Zhang Hao, finally making a request?

    Zhang Hao put away the faint smile on his face, "Your Majesty, our voyage south this time is thanks to an astrologer, Zhao Dahe."

    Liu Xinyu nodded: "I have heard of this person, and I would like to express my gratitude to him in person. By the way, do you know the origin of this person?"

    "It has been investigated clearly and it is credible. But what I am going to talk about today is related to Zhao Dahe. Your Majesty, you may not believe it, Zhao Dahe measured the thickness of the earth!"

    "Well" Liu Xinyu was stunned.  She didn't know how to respond to this news.  Are you kidding me?

    "Your Majesty, come with me. This matter is still relatively confidential, and only a few people know about it. This is a breakthrough in knowledge, and this is the breakthrough everyone feels a little frightened."

    Liu Xinyu: The more you talk, the less I understand.

    Liu Xinyu, Hu Yinglan and a few other people followed Zhang Hao to a new courtyard of the Zhang family; but they were surrounded by imperial guards.

    Entering the yard, you can see Zhao Dahe making a wooden ball about one meter in height with a somewhat excited expression.

    Next to them, Zhang Shengde, Zhang Shengye, Bai Yutang, Zhou Xueyao, Zhou Shuhai, Bai Ye, Zhou Jue, Li Yousheng (Li Yuanyuan's father), Mu Mingchen, Zheng Changfeng, Mei Qianyun and other important personnel of Dayang Group, as well as many researchers of the Zhang family  Personnel such as Huang Mingshan and others stood neatly in a circle.  Moreover, everyone looked weird.

    After Zhang Hao brought Liu Xinyu in, he came to Zhao Dahe and said to everyone: "Everyone, starting today, there is a new subject in Qixia Country. Zhao Dahe and I jointly named it:

    Geography!

    Next, let me ask Zhao Dahe to explain it to you.  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
