Chapter 746: Development of the New World

A few days later, the dragon boat ended its long voyage and finally arrived at Liuhuo Continent. Then everyone stayed at the Sea Palace for one night and continued to ride the dragon boat to play in the mountains and waters upstream of Liuhuo Continent.
The former Flowing Fire Continent was a barren land filled with volcanoes. It was heavily polluted and rarely seen green values. It was not suitable for most living things.
But after Yu Jia secretly adjusted and nourished it, it was obvious that lush vegetation was growing wildly on the entire continent.
At the same time, the Bamboo Rat King imports a large number of creatures from other continents and puts them on the Flowing Fire Continent every year, so that it forms an ecological chain that can turn itself far.
I believe that in a few years, the Flowing Fire Continent will become a new continent full of vitality.
The reason why Chen Fan came to the Liuhuo Continent for vacation this time was that he was invited by the Bamboo Rat King to come to the site for a field trip, and the other was to choose a site to build a town.
The entire Liuhuo Continent is actually not a whole, but divided into a product shape by several straits. But because the three continents are so close together, they can even use their feet to slam into each other when the tide is low.
Such a unique geographical location was naturally caught by Chen Fan, and several natural deep-water ports near the exit of the bay were chosen as the site of the future seaside city. Then he went down the strait all the way to the inland, and chose a few places on relatively flat terrain.
"Second brother, the resources on the Flowing Fire Continent are very rich. The exploration machine has discovered at least hundreds of large mineral veins, two of which are still spiritual veins." Chen Fan pointed the projection screen and pointed the country: "The only disadvantage is that the water resources are very high. Poverty, so in the first stage, there should be a variety of trees to consolidate the water and soil, and then I will call Wutian Dragon King to give you more rain."
"Hmm." Bamboo Rat King nodded and asked: "My third brother, are these veins also mined by the Royal Mining Company?"
Chen Fan said: "Yes, but after all, this is your second brother's fief, so the Royal Mining Company only accounts for 20% of the profits, and the remaining 80% belongs to you. However, the empire government has the first right to purchase the minerals that are mined, unless Other companies bid more than 20% of the government."
Now the empire is doing great work everywhere, and the ore mined everywhere is almost in short supply.
In order to concentrate on doing big things, Chen Fan had to use this method to purchase ore from all over the country.
As a result, a large number of mining companies have spawned, especially those monsters or monks who are good at the art of earth escape have become the buns of various mining companies.
"No problem." The bamboo mouse king responded, in fact, he didn't expect his elder brother and third brother to be so generous. Not only did they have a one-stop business from mining to sales, they even gave him 80% of the profit. It means that he doesn't have to do anything, just lie there and count the money.
"At that time, I am going to build more than a dozen steel mills on the edge of these fjords, and the ore mined from the inland will be transported here for refining and forging, and then the government will purchase them." Chen Fan clicked on the projection map. Planning, planning the construction of the entire industrial chain, and then handing it to the bamboo mouse king: "Second brother, see if there are any problems."
The bamboo mouse king asked, "My third brother, does this steelmaking plant need a lot of fuel? The trees on the Flowing Fire Continent are not full yet, and the land is not like the old brother Baimu. The land is full of coal. What is the use? Come to make steel?"
"Using electricity!" Chen Fan smiled and said, "Do you know why I built all a dozen steel plants on the fjord? Being close to the sea is just one of them. My real purpose is to build a few brand new nuclear power plants on the seaside! "
"Nuclear power plant?!!!" Bamboo Rat King looked surprised? He naturally knew what a nuclear power plant was? Because the various books that Chen Fan brought back from the earth were completely open to him.
"Third brother, can the Empire build nuclear power plants now?"
Chen Fan smiled and said: "There is actually no difficulty in building a nuclear power plant? To put it bluntly, it is to boil water in another way? Reuse steam to generate electricity. Even if the technology is not enough, I can use magic to make it together. The real difficulty is controllable nuclear fusion? Current imperial scientists It is still under study."
The bamboo mouse king asked curiously: "Didn't you third brother steal a lot of high-tech from the British Empire? Is there no controllable nuclear fusion method?"
Chen Fan said: "Of course there are and even more advanced'solar furnaces'. But those are the technologies that others have accumulated and developed over tens of thousands of years? It is very difficult even if we want to learn? Because of the different technology trees."
Bamboo Rat King looked puzzled and said that he did not understand. After all, he knew that many high-tech products that Chen Fan had obtained from the British Empire could be directly invested in empire building, and there was no problem.
Chen Fan patiently explained: "Can't watermelons grow on fruit trees? It will take a long time for the empire to completely digest other people's technology. Of course, we can also uphold the doctrine of use? It doesn't matter whose technology is practical. This is not conducive to the future development of the empire. After all, the development of science and technology is similar to planting trees. You need to start with planting seeds, and then slowly grow from a small sapling to a towering tree. Without even planting seeds, A big tree was transformed directly out of thin air. That kind of technology can only be regarded as a rootless duckweed? Neither has a solid foundation nor can it grow into a towering tree."
Bamboo Rat King nodded suddenly, indicating that he understood. Is it no wonder that the imperial army is now on interstellar warships? The third brother still allows the empire's local technology to develop steadily in all aspects, step by step, without any intention to promote growth.
Delineating the location of the city and factory? Chen Fan personally went deep inland to inspect the locations of several large veins, and then planned the roads and towns along the way according to the different geographical locations of each vein.
In the future, these towns will all depend on mining? After all, the current Liuhuo continent can only be regarded as a barren land? Except for the ‘gold rush’, it is impossible to attract a large number of people and capital in a short period of time.
Only when people and capital are attracted and take root? This continent can carry out the next step of development.
Of course, Chen Fan can also compulsorily levy civil servants to relocate through administrative orders, but doing so will not only damage the prestige of the government that is difficult to build, and even lose out.
After all, lure with profit is the long-term way ~ EbookFREE.me ~ half a month later, the Lantern Festival.
Chen Fan and the others returned to the Sea Palace for a lively Lantern Festival, and then took the monsters back to Tongtian Peak in a dragon boat.
Brought back together with Liuhuo Continent's development plan for the next ten years.
This development plan was quickly approved by the Upper and Lower Houses and was submitted to the case of Heiba. Finally, he Zhubi approved the big plan.
Of course, Chen Fan doesn't need to worry about the rest of the matter. Some officials are going to implement this plan.
...
"Great King!" Yao Jing knelt down on the ground.
While reviewing the documents, Chen Fan asked casually, "Your sect has responded?"
"Yes, King." Yao Jing slightly raised her head and replied: "The slave and maid received an inquiry from the sect two days ago. Because you hadn't returned, King, it was delayed until today to report to you."
