  Chapter 267 The Outcast of the Times

  Lu Yao overlooks the world.

  In Yaocheng, the fire-steam furnace directly led to the birth of two technologies, printing and dyeing, and textile machines, which brought new vitality to Yaocheng, which had a relatively stagnant economy.

  Businessmen from all over the world poured into this ancient holy city again. They formed a long queue outside the printing and dyeing workshops and textile factories of the Temple Society. The merchants who got the goods smiled and led the camels to the sales place happily.

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

   What is more intuitive is the streets in the city.

  The residents of Yao City are no longer monotonous in black, white and gray. They finally put on colorful red, yellow and green costumes, and the whole city has become much brighter.

  On the pier, the moored ships also raised flags of different colors to show the different organizations they belonged to, making it easier to identify.

  The advent of printing was a surprise.

  Lu Yao checked the background and found that in the last era, the medicine spoon had already tried to mass-produce books in Lingshen Temple, which was also the prototype of printing.

  Yaoshao repeatedly emphasized that if books can be mass-produced, it will play a huge role in the continuation and dissemination of knowledge in the entire city and even the entire Yao nationality.

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

   Later, when the era changed, Aedes mosquitoes and plague beasts ravaged again, and the temple society had to tighten up its manpower.

  The head of the new club, Chubi Luoer, has not forgotten this incident. He inherited the legacy of the medicine spoon and is still investing manpower and material resources in research. The appearance of the fire and steam furnace allowed the Scholars of the Temple to supplement the last link of printing.

  Yaocheng printing uses a metal mold and uses smoke ink as a coating. The principle is similar to that of a fire-steam furnace textile machine and fire-steam furnace forging. The reciprocating motion is driven by steam to complete printing on paper.

  The birth of printing technology turned books into everyday commodities like textiles. In the past, hand-copied books were scarce and expensive, which made it difficult to circulate knowledge. It was basically in the hands of scholars and the wealthy, and the monopoly of knowledge was completely ended.

Classic books such as "A Brief History of the Tribe", "Code of Tribal Trading", "History of Changes in Yancheng", "The Bizarre Adventure of Pava", and "Ladybug", as well as the latest epic "The Abyss" and the biography "Crystal Empire" Shipped from the printing house of the Temple Society in Yaocheng and sent to all over the world, anyone can take it into their pockets.

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

  The sister city to the west is another story.

   What Lu Yao noticed at first glance 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 lot of fine gravel. The road is not wide, but it is eye-catching enough. The boat road extends eastward all the way to the south gate of Yaocheng, and goes south through the forest all the way to the northern entrance of Sanilo.

  The ground boat was driving on the gravel road.

They floated from the ground to the ground, and shuttle-shaped or strip-shaped ground boats sailed on the boat road. Their speed was much faster than that of the crystal city flower boats, but they were only at the same speed as horses, and they were better than lasting stability. .

  The environment of the West Continent is stable and safe, so the ground boat does not need to be equipped with a rose turret, which not only reduces the load, but also makes it easier to drive on the special boat road.

  Boat roads and land sailing speed up the commodity exchange and communication between Yancheng and the outside world, and now it has become an important commodity concentration and transfer station.

  Whether earthworms from the Dragon’s Nest in the north, ores from Uda City, glass from Crystal City, or products made by the elves in the Southern Continent, or even many archipelago specialties on the vast ocean, they can all be found in Yancheng.

   It is a steamboat on the sea that is matched with the ground sailing boat.

  Steamboat is a simple modified ship based on a galley sailboat and installed with a steam stove. When the wind is downwind, sails can be used to advance, and when the wind is headwind, the oars on both sides can be pushed by the fire stove, which is far from the point of steam ships.

   But even so, the pace of human beings on the sea has become faster.

  Yancheng is still the wealthiest city, and it is the vane of economic and trade activity.

  Lu Yao clicked to transform the large bathing place and named it.

  …

  【Yancheng bathing place】: Yancheng is a large bathing place built on the basis of a steam furnace, which can accommodate 800 people for bathing. There are hot water, warm water, cold water, steam and salt water baths inside.

  The bathing place is a way for Yancheng people to negotiate cooperation, ease conflicts, and relax banquets.

  Yancheng bathing place is located in the city, the pressure of urban residents is slightly reduced, the transaction success rate is slightly increased, and the external attractiveness is increased.

  …

  The birth of a miracle made the people of Yancheng smile. They surrounded the bathing place, holding pure white holy flowers, and shouted the name of God Yao.

   "God Yao likes our bathhouse!"

   "We have the best bathing place in the world, everyone needs to take a bath, this is Yancheng!"

   "The gods approve of bathing!"

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

  Lu Yao clicks on the bathing place.

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

  The largest area in the bathing area is a public bath, surrounded by many small compartments.

  Most people take a bath and chat in public baths, while those who do business talk in private baths. So far, the bathing culture has gradually become a local characteristic custom in Yancheng.

  Led by Shuangcheng, the cities have been revitalized by new technologies, but for individuals, the new era is more like a strange banquet that cannot be refused.

  The steam age is coming.

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

  The birth of the gas stove has caused the most direct impact on their fields. Many people immediately saw the opportunity, and used the steam stove for multiple purposes, taking the lead.

  This device has a wide range of applications, including smelting, forging, tool making, textiles, ships, etc., covering most of the hand-made industries.

  Of course, some people cannot accept it.

   Some scholars call it a "dangerous copper monster" and believe that the fire stove itself is extremely risky. If used in large quantities, the explosion of many furnaces can engulf the entire city in flames and steam.

  They tried their best to appeal, hoping to ban the use of steam stoves among the people.

  Old-school craftsmen insist that the utensils forged by the steam furnace are dull and uniform, and only skilled craftsmen can give a utensil a unique texture and texture.

  Among the merchants, there are also people who have been advocating the theory of the danger of steam stoves and calling for the protection of craftsman traditions.

   But these are appearances.

  What these businessmen want to say is that this dangerous device that threatens the work of craftsmen must be expensive in order to conform to its identity and positioning.

  The price of the gas stove must be raised! And it's best to limit purchases together!

  The ultimate goal is of course to increase commercial profits.

  But compared to these people, the ones who were most impacted were martial monks, or in other words, practitioners who took the path of challenging personal limits.

  The fire-steam furnace has accelerated almost all handicraft industries, coupled with the continuous flow of the Almighty Stone from Crystal City into the market, the number of sophisticated equipment has skyrocketed, the price has continued to decrease, and the popularity has greatly increased.

  The group of armored soldiers has grown wildly. Every city is full of patrolling armored soldiers. Extraordinary people are also subject to strict order constraints in the city.

  Golden Field background data shows that the Yancheng Martial Arts Association is very bleak. The number of martial arts monk registrations has continued to decline, which means that many people have given up this profession and route, and the parliamentary funding has also been cut again and again.

  In this context, a Yao tribe in broken ghost armor came outside the association.

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

  Lu Yao took a look.

   It turned out to be the ghost warrior Nong Lei.

  He didn't work as a locust killer outside Crystal City, but came here as a martial monk?

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

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

  Nong Lei shouted again.

  The gate of the association was closed, and only a watchdog was lying at the door.

  A hunter passing by 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 quit the association and switched to armored soldiers. Now martial arts monks have no future and no money...Why are you so reluctant to apply to join? You seem to be an armored man too."

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

   "Yojiu is indeed great, but he has disappeared for many years. The times are different, and this is no longer the time for martial monks."

   Passers-by shook their heads and left.

  Nong Lei is still waiting outside the door.
