You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

“Gengantana, your psionic research is quite good.”

This expression of approval was accompanied by a powerful spiritual energy that lifted the black-haired, black-eyed girl. A profound sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and everyone understood the arrival of the Heavenly Dao. The entire Xia Yi seemed to have been put on pause.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

She looked at the statue with tears in her eyes, naturally overjoyed to have her work recognized.

It's rare for me to receive attention like this.

Feng Tianyin echoed, "Over the years, I've mainly entrusted Tana with psychic abilities, since she's very skilled in them, as well as missionary work. But the subspace is very dangerous, which often worries me."

"Don't worry, Gergentana is safe. My promotion has a protective effect."

"So the protective blessing I felt was Your Majesty!"

She has always felt a strange sense of security whenever she is contaminated by subspace, as if some force is actively isolating her from the erosion.

I had suspected it for a while.

It's gratifying to have this confirmed today; this recognition is already a tremendous reward.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Since today is the unveiling ceremony of the steam train, let's start early."

The witness of Heaven's will undoubtedly add an extraordinary touch to the event.

PS

Orange Cat is updating 10,000 words daily as promised, and is also paying back the 3 chapters of bounty owed.

Chapter 153 Invading the Warp (4K)

That's terrifying.

For Lu Zhengshu and the railway engineers, the Heavenly Inspection was a pure horror story.

This is no longer a question of whether or not someone is a high-ranking leader. What if an experiment goes wrong and everything falls apart? It's because we understand them that we are even more shocked. Do you remember the "stars blooming like fireworks" phenomenon in 90?

Later, astronomical telescope observations confirmed that a few stars were indeed missing.

Why are stellar explosions observed immediately when they are several light-years apart?

The law of the speed of light no longer holds.

It's outrageous!

The power of Heaven can so freely act on the macro level; we must pay even more attention to it.

Therefore, the engineering team conducted a thorough and rapid investigation.

They made sure everything was perfect before daring to enter the locomotive and pull the valve. With a loud rumble, the steel heart released a large amount of steam, propelling the entire boiler to operate at high temperature and releasing power with a rumbling sound.

The steel behemoth continued to move along the track.

"It's moving!"

"We succeeded. The technology is feasible. We have succeeded once again."

"Speed ​​up, let me see where your limits are."

The excited engineers had forgotten the witness of Heaven, cheering and jumping for joy.

They tried all sorts of solutions repeatedly to get to where we are today. Over the years, they have made countless improvements to the steam engine and have been constantly demonstrating, building, and simulating the possibilities of railways.

If successful, even a vast territory like the Great Qian Dynasty can efficiently connect resources, pushing logistics to a new level.

Not only that.

Who says you can't use it when you're in the sky? Could we use even greater power in aircraft? Since we can make a steel behemoth move, let's try different approaches and keep exploring more possibilities.

The locomotive, laden with anticipation, sped along the circular track as it accelerated.

At this point, the speed had reached 40 kilometers per hour.

And it's accelerating.

It's conceivable that Daqian's materials technology has improved significantly; otherwise, Xiahe would most likely have witnessed the tank explode, which would have been quite embarrassing.

Her presence made the experiment a bit conservative, and it stopped once it reached a speed of 55 kilometers per hour.

It's not the limit of speed, but the limit of safety and controllability.

moment.

Under the tense gazes of countless people, the locomotive slowly came to a stop. No one reacted immediately; instead, they silently looked at the white jade statue. It nodded. "You have done well. Now, let the railway become the artery of the Great Qian Dynasty."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone cheered.

Unexpectedly, Heaven is so approachable, personally affirming their achievements and expressing its expectations. This being possesses both divinity and humanity; no wonder she values ​​His Majesty so much. They are indeed very similar.

"Your Majesty, this time we're not just testing the train; I'll take you to the port."

Feng Tianyin respectfully led Xia He to the inland port area.

A large group of people followed.

From afar, it aroused curiosity, prompting people to peer in, wondering what had happened. However, the experimental area was relatively closed off, and news of the descent of the Heavenly Dao had not yet spread; otherwise, there would have been an uproar. The devout believers should not be underestimated.

However, for most of the entourage, it was awe; they simply kept their heads down, looking at the road, and dared not look directly at the presence.

The immense psionic reaction was too dazzling.

Anyone with even a certain level of psychic perception would be deeply terrified by that power.

too strong.

The aura of the Heavenly Dao is not an absolute numerical value of energy, but rather a power that comes from looking down from an infinitely high place, making people feel a real tension all over their bodies and dare not look directly at it.

Compared to the solemnity of spreading the heavens during the Heavenly Dao Ceremony, this kind of interaction at a distance is even more domineering.

Only those who are promoted can easily and carefully absorb that power.

The edge of the port.

Lu Zhengshu immediately directed his engineering team to take over the experimental steamship, a behemoth powered by steam turbines, which had been designed long ago and was prepared to be started up together with a train.

The outcome was unexpected, as it turned out to be the will of Heaven.

But encouraged by the successful case just now, everyone's confidence was greatly boosted, and they quickly adjusted the air pressure, power and angle, and everything was ready.

They had rehearsed countless times, so they handled it with ease.

Rumble.

Soon the steam turbine roared and started up, and this steel behemoth sailed out along the rushing river.

The engine accounts for the majority of the body's weight, which is over 100 tons, and it is barely able to move.

It was a success no matter what.

The only drawback was its slowness; at this point, the speed was probably less than 10 knots. It was sluggish and dragging its feet, giving the impression of being exhausted. The rugged beauty of industry coexisted with the initial naivety, and there was still a long way to go.

"According to my assessment, it will be difficult to achieve widespread adoption for at least ten years. This technology needs repeated validation and increased momentum."

Feng Tianyin looked at Xia He with a hint of regret.

"It's alright. From hull materials to transmission components, it's a complex systems engineering project that can't be accomplished overnight. You've progressed too quickly in the power sector, causing other technologies to lag behind slightly."

Miniaturizing the steam engine was a long process, and driving such a large machine was even more difficult.

Daqian Suan experienced a leapfrog development.

First, solve the problem of "whether it exists" and then consider "whether it's good" to improve it.

The people on the ship cheered, and the witnesses on the scene applauded thunderously, feeling honored to have witnessed the acceleration of the historical process. Such an invention was destined to reshape the era.

hum!

Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy rose from the earth—no, it boiled up from all things, flowing out in a continuous stream and enveloping all directions.

The psionic energy is surging across the entire world of Terra, and perhaps even more so.

[Note: We have entered the Age of Exploration]

Currently, most civilizations in the Terra world have acquired the basic ability to navigate long distances, though their capabilities vary, they are already sufficient to facilitate broader communication. The worlds perceived by these civilizations are rapidly shrinking, and the distance between them will no longer be so vast.

We will gain a deeper understanding of our differences, and then seek common ground while reserving them.

A new era has begun, and spiritual energy has leaped forward.

On the other hand, it also means that the Great Qian Dynasty was at the forefront of the times, because it had in fact entered the dawn of industry, and all it lacked was time to lay out industrialization, while most other civilizations were in the Age of Exploration.

While it's possible that someone with exceptional talent might start researching steam engines, the Great Qian Dynasty remains the leader.

"The air is fresher now!"

"My tinnitus is cured, how is that possible? Is it psionic energy?"

"Has anyone experienced the last psionic leap? The scale of that leap is just too outrageous."

"There must be a reaction worldwide."

Remember that during the great burst of spiritual energy from the ancient to the classical era, only Feng Tianyin and Gegentana remained. The two looked at each other, then looked at the Heavenly Dao and nodded in congratulations.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's protection, the Great Qian Dynasty will prosper in the new era."

"Don't get too excited yet. Some fools will take this opportunity to go crazy."

Xia He pointed in the direction of the cathedral.

They all understood that the intention was to create a rift in the subspace, where danger lurked on the other side.

Subspace side.

What lurks within is no longer a creature born from ordinary pollution, but a demon.

They are the individuals who directly bore the erosion of the subspace, the true foundation of this chaotic land, and are now clinging to the edge of the crack, eager to make their move.

"Finally, we can avenge this humiliation."

"Xiayi is just ahead. Let those guys keep using us."

"Who does Gengantana think she is, coming and going as she pleases with her priests? Does she think our warp is a toilet?"

"This is outrageous! We must teach them a lesson!"
