List of strange talismans

Chapter 199 Edward 4K
What Sachette said was not a compliment. The birth of the steam engine was indeed all thanks to Gu Xiuya.

In fact, the two of them were able to overcome the original difficulties and complete the manufacturing of key components so quickly because Gu Xiuya made a special detour to the blacksmith shop on the way to the square to give them some guidance.

No matter from any angle, Gu Xiuya is qualified to name it.

"Just call it [Tiancheng Steam Engine]."

Gu Xiuya said: "The knowledge in your mind belongs to the great God of Heaven. I hope that everyone who enjoys its convenience can remember this grace from God of Heaven."

This is something Gu Xiuya has thought about for a long time. In his plan, all mechanical equipment born in Galanz will be given a unified prefix.

【天成】.

This is not only a representative symbol of Galanz, but also an anchor point that unites beliefs.

He wanted anyone to inevitably think of Tiancheng whenever they mentioned industry.

The huge power of faith brought about by this will quickly turn this fictional god into reality.

"Tiancheng? I like this name, let me type it out."

Chekov was the first to express his approval, and then he took a piece of iron sheet, hammered out the writing under Sachette's command, and pasted it on the shell of the steam engine.

Gu Xiuya then asked about the specific parameters of the steam engine.

According to Sachette, although the first version of the steam engine had industrial practicality, its efficiency performance was not very good, and it was no problem when used to draw water and irrigate farmland.

But if it is used to replace hydraulic machinery for grain processing or even as a driving equipment for textile machines, it will be a bit difficult.

"But this problem is nothing. According to your suggestion, we have already established the second version of the improved steam engine. By then, external pressure can be used to effectively solve the relatively low boiling temperature limit of water under ordinary atmospheric pressure. The efficiency of the steam engine This will usher in a leap forward, and many equipment that relies on steam engines will have the basis for industrialization."

"How long will it take to improve?"

"It won't take long if it's just an improvement. With the previous foundation, it can take a month at most."

"very good."

Gu Xiuya nodded slightly, with a calm expression on his face, but he was very happy in his heart.

It is now 1739. Under his intervention, the Watt steam engine, which triggered the first industrial revolution, is about to be born 40 years ahead of schedule.

Forty years is nothing on the scale of human social development, but it is already a long time in terms of industrial development.

With these 40 years of surplus, there will be time for further development of technology in the future.

What's more, a steam engine can provide such a long surplus time. Once it continues to release the knowledge that belongs to the future step by step, industrial innovation will inevitably usher in a chain reaction, not to mention 40 years, but 400 years. possible!
This feeling of being on the right path made Gu Xiuya feel happy. He couldn't help but start thinking about how the world would change drastically when he returned to the future.

If this progress continues, there will be a high probability of an answer to the crisis brought about by cometary civilization.

"Your efforts are worthy of recognition."

Gu Xiuya was in a good mood and gave Sachet and Chekov one body each on the spot.

Immediately, he used the [Personality Projector] to recharge Sachette and taught him some more advanced industrial knowledge.

Chekov also received this preferential treatment. This young blacksmith with excellent talent in industrial manufacturing used his own ability to prove his qualifications for preferential treatment.

Amidst the gratitude of the two, Gu Xiuya made work arrangements for the coming period: "Then your task is to develop related supporting equipment around the steam engine. Complete the production transformation of the manufacturing industry and replace manual manufacturing with mechanical manufacturing. That's it. Let’s start with the looms. Matthews happens to have two human-powered looms, you can try to improve them.”

Upon hearing this, Chekov agreed wholeheartedly, patting his chest and saying that he would definitely complete the task, so that Gu Xiuya could rest assured.

Sachette was a little worried: "It is not troublesome to integrate the improvement of textile machines into steam engines, and I am confident that it can be completed. But if we talk about promoting the production transformation of the entire manufacturing industry, it will take a long time for just the two of us."

"Can you get us some help?"

Gu Xiuya was speechless for a moment.

He had already found a helper for Sachette, but the problem was that he didn't dare to use it.

Before the trouble of the [Ring of Strife] is resolved, Hepheus cannot show up to forge the oracle, and the loyalty of the industrial saints cannot be guaranteed. Under such circumstances, he does not dare to hand over a group of time bombs to Sachet .

"You can first select some candidates within the teaching who you think are qualified for the relevant work. I will ask Ma En to cooperate with you in this regard."

Gu Xiuya thought for a moment and said: "As for experts in industrial manufacturing, we may need more..."

"Your Majesty the Saint!"

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded from a distance.

Gu Xiuya turned his head slightly and saw Bennett running wildly and running over from the corner of the street.

"Your Majesty the Saint, phew, finally, finally let me find you."

Bennett didn't know how long he had been running. He was panting and stammering: "There is something you need to deal with. Are you free now?"

Gu Xiuya waved his hand, signaling him to calm down: "What's the matter?"

"A caravan came from outside Hucheng and wanted to trade with Galanz, but their number is a bit too large. I don't know if I should let them in."

Bennett gasped.

Gu Xiuya frowned slightly: "I said that we should consult Matthews and Child on domestic affairs."

"I already asked Mayor Matthews."

Bennett smiled bitterly: "He was the one who asked me to come to you. He said he didn't dare to make a decision."

Sachette could see Gu Xiuya's displeasure.

He knew that His Excellency the Saint was dissatisfied that Bennett had to ask him for advice on such a trivial matter, so he said: "Bennett, didn't you make it clear to Matthews? Galanz has many caravans passing by every year. Why don’t you dare to make a decision?”

"Well, this caravan is different from the previous one."

Bennett explained: "The leader told me that they are from the Gran Federation. To be honest, I have never heard of this place."

Gu Xiuya frowned: "A caravan from the Gran Federation?"

"Correct."

Bennett nodded.

Gu Xiuya's expression changed slightly.

He asked: "What is the name of the owner of the caravan? Is it Edward?"

Bennett was obviously stunned for a moment: "Ah? Do you already know?"

Gu Xiuya did not answer.

He recalled the records in religious history.

[1742, October. 】

[At the beginning of the month, a young nobleman who traveled across the ocean from the Grand Federation and was traveling in the White Star Kingdom suddenly visited me. 】

These were Marn's exact words. The young nobleman of the Glen Federation he spoke of was none other than Edward, the believer in the King of the End who triggered the Great War of Faith in the White Star Kingdom.

Is history ahead of schedule?
Gu Xiuya had long expected that his actions would lead to changes in history, but he did not expect that the changes would come so fast and so violently.

Edward, who was only supposed to appear in 1742, actually came to Galanz three full years in advance.

what on earth is it?

Gu Xiuya didn't know what caused such a change, but he knew that the turning point he desperately needed might be coming.

"Let them come in. Tell Matthews to make room for me. I want to see Mr. Edward in person."

Half an hour later.In Matthews' living room, Gu Xiuya met the "war madman" in Ma En's mouth, Edward.

In fact, based on appearance alone, no one would associate the gentle young man in front of him with a believer in the King of the End.

He has a rather kind face, with soft features, fair complexion, and neatly combed silver hair. It seems that he rarely leaves the carriage to bask in the sun.

He was wearing a typical outfit of a federal aristocrat from the Glen, and he was spotless. The outer coat was a long coat with rolled-up sleeves, and the inner part was a long vest of a similar style. Every button was buttoned properly, and the buttons were even decorated with embroidery. Polished.Standing there gives people a feeling of being either rich or noble.

"Good day, Your Majesty the Saint of Suncheon."

During the short resettlement process, Edward had already learned Gu Xiuya's identity from Matthews.

He took the initiative to bow and show respect to the uncrowned Lord of Galanz in front of him.

"I hope my arrival will not disturb this peaceful land."

he said softly.

Gu Xiuya sat on the spacious velvet sofa. He received a bow from Edward with a calm face, and then said, "You can sit down and talk, Mr. Edward."

"Thank you."

Edward nodded his thanks and sat down.

Gu Xiuya then said: "My time is limited, let's skip the red tape and get straight to the point. What is the purpose of your coming to Galanz?"

"For trade." Edward said: "I brought special products from the other side of the ocean, hoping to exchange them for the most valuable things on this land."

"Is it just that?"

"Of course not, this is just the part I want to get your permission for. As for other things, they have nothing to do with Galanz, and I don't want to waste your precious time on this."

But I'm more interested in other things you say.

Gu Xiuya thought in his heart.

He tapped the gilded sofa armrest with his hand, pretended to think, and said, "Mr. Edward, you are the second foreigner to come here."

Edward smiled without any surprise on his face: "Are you referring to Professor Valentine?"

"You know him?"

"Of course, he is a very famous scholar and I have had the privilege of reading his works on manufacturing."

When Edward said this, he paused: "In fact, we ventured into your territory this time just to follow in the footsteps of Professor Valentine. It's a bit embarrassing to say that I am a big fan of his."

"Then you may be disappointed."

Gu Xiuya said calmly: "He has become a corpse."

Edward's originally relaxed expression was slightly startled, and his smile froze.

died?

how can that be? ! !

You must know that not long ago, he also confirmed the location of Valentine with the help of the resident fetish. At that time, Valentine was still alive and well. How could he die so quickly?
Edward suspected that the black-haired Far Eastern man in front of him was lying, but looking at the calm look in his eyes, it really didn't look like he was lying.

".May I know how he died?"

He couldn't help asking.

Gu Xiuya didn't explain too much, but simply said: "Shuntian punished him."

Suncheon
Edward was confused and confused.

He originally thought that the so-called Shuntian Sect was just a small and inconspicuous sect, but in Galanz he didn't even have the patience to meet Gu Xiuya.It was only because he was in a different place that he acted politely out of caution.

But now it seems that Galanz's situation is completely different from what he imagined.

A sect that killed middle-level saints.
Edward knew that he had to treat this conversation carefully.

Otherwise, he is likely to make a big mistake here.

As his mind wandered, he sighed.

"This is really sad news. I assume he must have committed an unforgivable sin?"

"Of course, Shuntian never bullied the weak. His death was all his own fault."

"Well, great Saint Suncheon, I support your authority, and I also recognize the punishment you have imposed. But if possible, I hope to pay for his body to be redeemed. You know, the Gran Federation has fallen leaves to return to their roots. tradition, as a compatriot I think.”

"You want something from him?"

Edward's eloquent words paused momentarily.

He obviously didn't expect that Gu Xiuya would suddenly say such a sentence, and he was stunned for a moment.

Soon, he reacted and tried to excuse himself: "No, that's not what I meant."

"Mr. Edward. Shuntian, I don't like cheaters."

Gu Xiuya's tone was calm, but his words were awe-inspiring and cold.

He stood up from the sofa, looked at Edward condescendingly, and said calmly: "Given your status, I am willing to give you one last chance. Now, tell me, do you want something from him?"

Edward's heartbeat quickened slightly.

He felt the impatience beneath Gu Xiuya's calm tone, and he knew that his lie had been exposed.

He could only nod: "I"

"You want this, don't you?"

Gu Xiuya spread his hand, and in his palm was a black iron ring.

Edward was silent.

After a long while, he looked at Gu Xiuya: ".Do you know what it is?"

"Mr. Edward, you have a big mistake in your understanding of Shuntian."

Gu Xiuya said calmly: "Shun Tian knows everything."

Edward didn't believe it: "If Shuntian is so powerful, why do you want to stay here?"

Gu Xiuya's expression was calm: "This is not something you should inquire about, believer of the end."

Click.

In extreme shock, Edward accidentally crushed the armrest of the sofa.

He didn't expect to hear such a sentence here at all. His heart was like a turbulent sea, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

His face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"who are you?!!"

He stood up from the sofa, stared at Gu Xiuya, and asked every word, his eyes sharp and compelling, and he was no longer as gentle as before.

　Reward plus more

　　Thank you, Mr. Haoyueliutian
