Chapter 1015 Landing on the Island


Chapter 1015 Landing on the Island

Farewell to Chitose, Zhou Xu took Qin Fen directly towards Black Moon City.

After all, if you want to say which equipment department has the most complete facilities and the most technical personnel, it has to be the equipment department in Black Moon City.

At the same time, according to the original plan, Zhou Xu was actually going back to Black Moon City.

Because taking a boat from Black Moon City to the factory port in the south basically goes directly through it, but taking the land route from the grassland side requires a big detour.

In addition, taking the water route is more labor-saving, and he can meditate safely on the boat.

The entire consumption of this summoning ceremony was much smaller than he expected. After spending half of the power of the mantra, Qin Fen pulled out this golden legend.

On their way back to Black Moon City, they would inevitably pass by Prairie City, and he did not forget to take Qin Fen to meet Ma Guotao.

When it comes to getting along with people, he and Ma Guotao have similar skills. Once they made contact and chatted for a few words, they quickly realized that they had met the same kind.

When they started chatting, they looked very lively, almost to the point of regretting that it was too late, but he knew the actual situation well. It was all about technology. To put it bluntly, they were just two people who knew how to chat. People who know how to chat are just there to cooperate with each other.

They are the kind of people who will chat well when they meet, but usually have no contact with each other at all.

Didn’t stay too long, Zhou Xu came over to say hello.

Back in Black Moon City, Zhou Xu took him to meet Teacher Wang Dongwang, and even met Wang Pengfei who was storytelling in a restaurant.

Along the way, Qin Fen has clearly realized that in this world, time travelers are really not a rare thing, and it also makes Qin Fen feel calmer.

He is not a fool. Of course, he knows the purpose of His Majesty who came all the way and constantly introduced to him the purpose of each time traveler.

To put it bluntly, it is to reassure him and let him know that there are many time travelers in their great Zhou Dynasty. As long as you are honest, even if you are as incompetent as Wang Pengfei, you can still make a living.

On the other hand, if you are capable, your life here can be very nourishing

You can even realize your ideals and ambitions to a large extent.

This still makes Qin Fen very excited.

As he said before, he is actually a fan of steam engines, and is even very obsessed with the entire steam era.

Once here, his job was to build steam engines, all at no cost to him.

Damn it, is there anything better than this?

After meeting Wang Dong, Zhou Xu took him directly to the equipment department, and then opened a small department for him under the equipment department, responsible for the research and development and manufacturing of steam engines.

Zhou Xu had already informed him of various issues such as the subsequent manpower mobilization and the arrangement of R&D funds. He basically did not need to worry about the following matters.

Farewell to Qin Fen, Zhou Xu returned to the palace and briefly dealt with the work that had accumulated during this period. After a night's rest, he officially set off for the southern border early the next morning.

With half of the power of the mantra left in his body, Zhou Xu was extremely comfortable in his state.

In short, he first returned to his prime state, and then began to devote himself wholeheartedly to the study of his mantra.

Nothing else will disturb him along the way. With such a good opportunity, if he doesn’t study the mantra, then when will he do it?

When Zhou Xu concentrated on studying the mantra, time always passed very fast.

By the time he arrived at the coastal fortress, the season had already arrived in autumn.

This was his first time here, and he had to admit that their coastal fortress in the southern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty was really far away from Black Moon City, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The distance here even exceeds the distance from Black Moon City to New Taipei District.

Under this premise, the number of rivers in the southern border is not small, but the direction is not good. In addition, there are also problems of insufficient water depth and insufficient river width in some areas, which cannot be directly used as a ready-made waterways for use.

If he wants to use it in the future, he will have to overhaul the waterway and open a canal.

Needless to say, this is another very large project that will require a large labor force.

Zhou Xu couldn't stand it at this moment. Compared with this project, Zhou Xu would rather invest money and labor in the subsequent laying of railways.

Qin Fen has the technology to manufacture steam engines. If everything goes well, it won't take long to successfully develop it.

As long as the steam engine is successfully developed and the steam train is built, it will be able to solve the problem of transportation and movement efficiency in the southern region to a large extent.

In Zhou Xu's opinion, this is much cheaper than building waterways and opening canals.

Zhou Xu was pondering this matter in his mind while boarding the ship bound for the island.

They were undoubtedly already familiar with the route between the mainland and the island. Under this premise, taking a small boat would make movement more efficient. Five days later, they successfully arrived at their destination.

Baitu, who received the news in advance, was already waiting at the port.

At this moment, Zhou Xu was standing on the deck of the bow, staring blankly at the towering mountain deep in the island.

"Holy crap! Xuemei, come over and see, is that a volcano?"

Since geological exploration work was also needed on the island, Zhou Xushun also brought Zhang Xuemei over.

Hearing this, Zhang Xuemei, who was resting in the boat at the time, ran out quickly.

At a glance, Zhang Xuemei's brows quickly wrinkled the moment the mountain came into view.

“Looking at the morphological characteristics of the mountain, the top shape is suspected to be a volcanic crater. You have to look closer to know the details.”

Zhang Xuemei did not make a hasty judgment.

While they were talking, their ship had officially docked at the port.

"The last general will be slaughtered in vain, see your majesty!"

"Please excuse yourself."

While stepping off the ship, Zhou Xu motioned for everyone to refrain from courtesy, and then I couldn't wait to ask Bai Tu about the situation of the mountain on the island.

“Have you sent anyone to explore that big mountain located deep in the island?”

Bai Tu obviously had no idea about volcanoes and had no idea what a volcano was.

At this moment, facing Zhou Xu’s question, Bai Tu wondered why their majesty cared so much about the mountain, but he still answered truthfully...

"Reporting to your majesty, in the past few months, we have The strength of the frontline troops is mainly used to control villages, towns and seaports. The reconnaissance troops sent out are relatively small and have not explored that area yet. "

This island is quite large for the time being. , and that big mountain looked very close to them, but was actually very far away.

Considering the time issue, it is not completely explored yet, but that makes sense.

As his thoughts whirled, Zhou Xu quickly said...

"Call an islander who is familiar with the situation on this island to come over. I want to ask questions."

At this point, Zhou Xu's voice After a pause, he added another sentence.

"The Chosen One is still there, right? Call him over too."

"Yes!"
