Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1732 Collecting new species from all over the world
In the colony of Jinshan Town in North America, a three-masted galleon is loading gold mines mined from North America, as well as... American eagles, turkeys, pumas and other special animals.

"Jinshan Town has become more and more prosperous in recent years. It has become a town of 5000 people and has a large area of ​​farmland."

The captain of the three-masted galleon travels between the mainland and the San Francisco Bay Area of ​​North America all year round, transporting industrial products that cannot be produced here to Jinshan Town, the only colony in North America, and Jinshan Town sends gold and surplus agricultural products to the mainland.

He witnessed with his own eyes how Jinshan Township has grown from a town of a few hundred people to a large town of 5000 people, most of whom are farmers and gold miners.

"The native place wants our hunting team to capture and transport back to the native land if they encounter animals and plants that the native land has never seen before. What is this for? Are these animals important?"

The townspeople in Jinshan Town saw some wild animals caught alive in wooden cages, and they didn't understand why they had to transport the unique birds and beasts back to the mainland.

"There is a mountain forest in the mainland, which is specially used to raise animals and plants from all over the place, and put them together, probably for viewing." The captain didn't know the special purpose of collecting birds and animals.

"Fortunately, we are not required to catch any beasts, otherwise it would be a troublesome thing."

"You should earn a lot of money mining gold in Jinshan Town, right?"

"No, the income is higher than mining in the local area. The gold mined must be handed over to the government. The location of the gold mine is located in the endless mountains and dense forests in the east, where there are wild animals, diseases, and indigenous people. , There is a danger of landslides when mining gold mines. It’s not easy to be a miner.”

"It's not easy to do any business. Our merchant ships traveling across the Pacific Ocean are also facing the risk of being sunk by wind and waves at any time. I only dare to travel twice a year."

While the captain was chatting with the townspeople, the gold mined from North America and the unique species of animals and plants collected had been loaded onto the three-masted galleon.

"We will see you next year, when I will bring more tea, soap, pepper, and steel."

Seeing that the goods were almost packed, the captain bid farewell to the townspeople of Jinshan Town.

Jinshan Town has been established for some time, and it is estimated that it will take decades before it becomes a big city.

Chu Yun did not intend to unify North America, but chose to have a colony on the west coast of North America, just for the sake of disgusting countries that may appear in North America in the future, and at the same time establish a Pacific Rim trade circle.

The connection between Jinshan Town and the mainland is currently only relying on the three-masted galleons that appear twice a year. In the future, the population of Jinshan Town will increase, and the connection may become closer, and the Pacific route will be more prosperous.

Not only the unique animals and plants in North America were transported to the native capital, but also in Tianji City in Oceania, koalas, kangaroos, kookaburras, platypus and other unique animals in Oceania were also put into cages. In addition to wild animals and plant seeds, For example, the seeds of eucalyptus trees native to Oceania are kept separately and will also be brought back to the native continent.

"Take good care of these species. Natives say that collecting these species will have certain research value."

Before the ships in Oceania were about to set sail and return to the capital, the governor of Oceania told the captain of the sailboat.

"I will successfully complete the voyage and transport the gold, animals and plants from Oceania back to the mainland." The captain replied.

A large sailing ship returned to the capital from all over the world. All the new species that could be found in the Spice Islands, the East Indies Peninsula, and Siberia were brought back to the mainland without exception to enrich the Zoo and Botanical Garden of All Nations.

Ships from overseas arrive every month and send some strange animals to the World Zoo and Botanical Garden.

Next to the Zoo and Botanical Garden of All Nations, the foundation construction of a huge building is in progress, and the workers are building a wooden shed, which is the Crystal Palace project being built for the upcoming World Expo.

Chu Yun once took Sophia to the IWC Zoo and Botanical Garden in the capital. At that time, the IWC Zoo and Botanical Garden had already started preparations. It had devoted several years to collecting species from the local continent, and now it finally began to collect unique species from overseas continents.

The employees of the Zoological and Botanical Gardens of Nations are overwhelmed by the constant arrival of new species, and they need to learn to take care of these new species.

For native species, they can easily gain experience in feeding them, but the habits of New World species are difficult for them to fathom.

Some animals are very fragile and some are ferocious beasts.

"The sudden arrival of so many new species is really troublesome, and we can't put them all in the forest, otherwise they may be hunted by carnivores."

The director of the Wanguo Zoological and Botanical Garden feels a headache every day when he sees the rare animals in the wooden cages.

They had to partition the Zoo and Botanical Garden of All Nations, especially to isolate more ferocious beasts such as pumas and bi-horned rhinos.

Some residents of the capital already knew about the existence of the Wanguo Zoo and Botanical Garden, and some of them specially came to see these rare animals and were amazed.

The IWC Zoo and Botanical Garden is speeding up the enrichment of the animals and plant varieties inside, the Crystal Palace is laying the foundation, and the building materials of the Crystal Palace are being produced at the factory day and night.

The capital has begun a major expansion, roads have been demolished, and workers are digging underground to make the sewers deeper and wider.

The roads that were torn down were resurfaced after the city sewer was expanded, and then a concrete surface was laid, and the road was leveled with a road roller drawn by many horses.

Ordinary residents in the capital also realized that the appearance of the city was undergoing tremendous changes. Not long ago, the engine factory was officially renamed as an automobile manufacturing factory, and began to sell three-wheeled or four-wheeled vehicles powered by internal combustion engines to ordinary residents.

All this is not only for industrial development, but also for the upcoming World Expo.

Chu Yun, who is the driving force behind the scenes, has been exhausted for a while. He wandered among various departments, mobilizing all departments.

However, after Chu Yun arranged a series of new tasks, he rested at home for three days before recovering.

When the people from Wan Guo Zoo and Botanical Garden reported the progress to Chu Yun and asked Chu Yun if he wanted to go to check, Chu Yun quickly refused.

"I finally understand the consequences of Zhuge Kongming doing everything himself. Next, I'll plant flowers and grow grass." Chu Yun was helpless, he assigned tasks, and then only focused on some important projects.

Compared with the agricultural age, the focus of the industrial age is much more. Chu Yun really wants to cover everything, but he really has no power.

"My lord, are you really planning to relax?" Ella came over with a report.

"Yes, I decided not to worry about so many things."

"However, the aircraft manufacturers say they have finally invented a biplane of some practical value."

"I'd better take a look." Chu Yun couldn't help it.
