Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 969 The gift brought back from Oceania
The aircraft factory is still an extremely secretive existence. Chu Yun simply checked the situation inside and asked Feng Ru to manufacture the first biplane according to their own ideas.

Because the manufacture of aircraft is not a top priority, and his staff lacks researchers in the field of aircraft, unlike the Dalian Shipyard, after several years, new experts have been called to enter the shipyard, and a group of local Talents.

"In addition to sending people from the Automobile Research Institute to study aero-engines, some people from the Department of Physics should be assigned to study aerodynamics, aeronautical materials and other fields." Chu Yun knew that if the aircraft was to be truly useful, the first-generation biplane would still be Not enough, need the second generation of propeller aircraft, or even jet aircraft to appear.

"My lord, the Tianjin Telegraph Station has sent a notification that the expedition team returning from Oceania has arrived in Tianjin Wei!" When Chu Yun was on his way back, someone came to report.

"Oceania Expedition Team, how many people are there?" Chu Yun asked.

"There are dozens of people in the first batch of the expedition team to return to the mainland, but you have ordered them to send only two or three people, so only two expedition members came as representatives. The rest will receive the rewards Afterwards, they will return to their hometowns. It has been a long time for them to see their relatives in their hometown." The person who came to report said.

"It's been two years...According to the plan, they will send the first group of people back after one year in Oceania, but now it has been two years before they send back the first group of adventurers, maybe something happened What happened. You asked them to meet me in my mansion." Chu Yun was notified, and then he remembered the agreement between himself and the adventure team going to Nanyang.

According to the agreement between the two parties, after the Oceania expedition team found Melbourne and established a stronghold, they sent some people back to Nanyang to contact the military.Under the current situation, the Oceania expedition team sent people back to contact the military a year later than planned.

"My subordinates immediately went to telegraph the Tianjin Telegraph Station and asked two expedition members to come to meet the military leader. It is said that they also brought a special gift." The messenger said.

"A special gift?" Chu Yun was a little curious about what kind of gift the Oceania expedition team would bring back for him.

Tianjin Wei, as the only place where the sea route leads to the capital, has received batch after batch of legendary figures. This time, the two expedition members came to Beijing to visit Chu Yun and also passed through Tianjin Wei.

"I heard that the two of you went to a continent called Oceania thousands of miles away. I wonder if you have any new knowledge there?" Tianjin Wei Zongbing asked them about the unknown continent Oceania on the way to take the two expedition members to the train station. Anecdotes.

As a general of the Tianjin Guards, he has been in contact with Dongying people, Koreans, and British people during this period of time, and he is more interested in overseas things, especially Oceania is different from Dongying, Korea, and the West. It is a more mysterious and unknown place. place.

"Oceania is a very vast land. Our fleet sailed along its east coast along the ocean current for more than half a month before arriving at a place called Melbourne in its southeast bay. We established a town there called 'Tianji' City', which symbolizes the end of the southern sky." The expedition members enthusiastically described their adventure stories to the chief officer.

"Are there any human beings who have settled in the area?" Tianjin Wei Zongbing asked.

"There are also humans in Oceania, but they are just like the savages in the deep mountains and old forests. No, they are more primitive than the savages in the deep mountains and old forests. The local aborigines still use stone tools, hunting with stone axes, stone arrows, and stone spears. Our first I was taken aback when I made contact with them for the first time," said the expedition team member.

"Still using stone tools? So how backward must they be? Don't they even have any iron tools?" Tianjin Wei Zongbing learned that the aborigines in Oceania were backward, and he was deeply incredulous.

"They don't have metallurgical technology, just like the ancients tens of thousands of years ago." The expedition team explained the local situation, "We can easily scare them away with muskets, and we are gods to them. They don't understand our words , has its own language, but no writing.”

"That's really just a group of savages. Such a vast continent has not developed a decent civilization." Tianjin Wei Zongbing was full of emotion.

In his opinion, if Oceania is also a vast continent, then at least it should have the same civilization as the "remote" places like Korea and Japan.

"We don't know why the aborigines in Oceania are still using stone tools. But the backward aborigines are a good thing for us. Our hundreds of expedition members can easily labor them. As long as they are given food, they don't need salary. They will help us plant the land and raise livestock. Sometimes we will help one tribe launch a war against another tribe, and the captives captured will be split in half, half of which will be given to the local tribe and the other half will be used as labor for us.” The expedition team said.

"Apart from getting along with the local aborigines, how are you doing in normal times?" Tianjin Wei Zongbing could imagine the status of the expedition team with muskets in the Oceania stronghold, probably like the emperor of the earth.

"Driving the local aborigines to open up farmland and pastures for free has indeed reduced our workload a lot, but we lack medicines, many people died of illness, and some people encountered wild beasts and storms when they were exploring. The muskets are limited in what they can do with natural tests such as smog and swamps. We miss our homeland every day in the local area, and we waited for two years before returning. Most of the people are still staying in Tianji City."

"It seems that life in our civilized place is better, and Oceania is too backward." Tianjin Wei Zongbing listened carefully to the description of the expedition team, and roughly understood that Oceania is equivalent to an isolated island that has not been discovered by the world. The size is a bit exaggerated.

"Fortunately, there are rivers and plains where we live. As long as we produce enough materials, we can still maintain our lives. And there are many exotic animals in Oceania. We chose to bring back one of the unique animals this time, and prepare to Dedicate it to the military master." One of the expedition members pointed to the wooden cage on the carriage, and there was a strange animal inside.

"What kind of weird thing is this? What a big mouse!" Tianjin Wei Zongbing leaned over.

"Yes, there are many such strange big mice in Oceania. But after two years of working with it, we found that it is very different from a mouse. Maybe it is not the mouse we know. We people in Tianji City call it It’s a kangaroo. Although the military leader knows everything, he doesn’t necessarily know this strange animal.”
