In the real world, in the 1760s, the world began to enter the steam era.

The Industrial Revolution cannot be attributed to a small group of geniuses of inventors, but the geniuses undoubtedly played a very important role. The biggest factor in promoting the Industrial Revolution is the environmental factor, and the powerful combination of many favorable forces, which changed the pattern of the entire world.

Let the weak countries develop rapidly, just like Britain in the 18th century.

Chen Zhen knew very well this point that in the Plain of Despair, the external factors of the Industrial Revolution did not form.

First of all, mercantilism has not been formed. Although the basic principles of various new inventions have been known to scholars, they are limited to applications in a small range.

They will never be widely used in industry.

Chen Zhen did not have the idea of ​​developing industry when he was in the Desperate Plain, but at that time, the right time, place, and people did not meet the standards. Even if he developed a steam engine, it might only be used to open and close the gate of the castle.

But today is different from the past. In order to extract accumulated water from the iron ore mine, to obtain tighter components, to sail further, to better protection and better attack, people in the Endless Sea urgently need a new source of power.

Steam power can drive most machinery that is adapted to mass production. As long as the steam engine can be made, Chen Zhen will lead his leaders to guide an industrial revolution on this endless sea.

His advantage is that he does not need so many geniuses from various industries, he himself is a "genius".

Under the instruction of the Lord, the Lupai team has taken on several R&D projects. The first part is the "rotating power" generated by the steam engine. With this rotating power, textile mills, flour mills, and furnace mills can liberate a large amount of manpower.

While teaching the scientific knowledge of the craftsmen, Lord Lord did not forget to tell its significance: "Steam power is a means to convert heat energy into driving force. From today on, you must use your brain to liberate people's dependence on livestock power, wind and water power!"

The craftsmen were full of energy. They had already seen the scene of the first unformed steam engine driving the shaft.

They are obsessed with the conversion of heat into driving forces.

In the next few months, under the leadership of Chen Zhen, the craftsmen of Xiangdangdang Island successively developed textile machines, mining machines, metallurgical machines and more advanced transportation tools than before.

Railway tracks were made, and mine trucks and coal trucks were used in bulk transportation.

Chief Minister Haska also led the leaders of the island to dig canals along the fusion of the islands, further reducing the cost of resource transportation of each island.

Above the canal, bridges are built, and under the canal, ships flow endlessly.

Due to the continuous renewal of machines, road paving technology has also been developed, but both on highways and waterways, on Xiangdangdang Island, they have been challenged by railways. The mine trucks on the railway tracks transport coal from Haska Island, stones from Chenzhen No. 1 Island, and steel from Risisi Island to Xiangdangdang Island.

On the track, a woman or two children can easily pull a mine truck with a load of nearly 1 ton.

One horse can do the work that 22 horses do on ordinary roads.

Chen Zhen's leaders had never seen such an efficient mode of transportation. From then on, no matter what they transported, they would have to get together.

And when the steam engine was developed and installed on the front of a locomotive... this efficient transportation method became more efficient. A steam locomotive could pull several mining trucks from Rissi to the port of Xiangdangdang Island without any effort.

"Okay, that's fine..." Chen Zhen murmured.

The people around them were cheering, and the release of the first steam locomotive allowed them to see unprecedented things and expanded the cognition of all leaders.

But Chen Zhen no longer needs to further study the technology of long-distance transportation. The island is so large, and its current efficiency is enough.

The steam engine is not only used in railway transportation on Xiangdangdang Island, but also in water transportation. Under the leadership of Chen Zhen, the port shipbuilding terminal launched the first successful commercial steel steamboat.

The ship is equipped with a watt-type steam engine that uses paddle wheels to drive paddle wheels. It travels 150 nautical miles on the windless sea surface, and takes half the time it takes for sailing boats.

Oceanwide transportation efficiency must be improved and then improved. This is Chen Zhen’s death order to craftsmen.

With speed, you have the initiative. There are more and more products on the island, and the trade volume is getting bigger and bigger. Soon, mass production of such commercial steamers began.

The leaders of Xiangdangdang Island have always used the number of hours required for sailing to indicate the distance between different places.

But from this day on, they began to use the number of hours required for commercial steamboats to express the distance between different places.

The leaders of Xiangdangdang Island began to use the energy of coal to produce steel at low cost, spin 100 linen yarns at the same time, transport dozens of tons of cargo at one time, and can sail freely on the windless sea surface.

They have never experienced these achievements, and they have stood at the top of the endless sea!

“The raw materials are piled in this warehouse!”

"Move luxury goods over there!"

At the port of Xiangdangdang Island, people were crowded with people. The goods transported were exchanged for a large amount of gold coins, and a large amount of raw materials and finished products. The islanders established countless factories, including paper, glass, pottery, jewelry processing, linen clothing, random black beer, weapons, armor, potions, etc. mass production.

Under the influence of Xiangdangdang Island, Slave Island became the largest trading island in the East China Sea in just a few months.

No one knows where the slave island gets so many high-end goods, but this has indeed attracted the attention of the Spanish royal family.

Chen Zhen collected all the steam engine, coal, steel, and three things that led to the accelerated development of the industrial revolution technology, but the Spanish royal family would have to find out the reasons and reasons for all of these, but it would be a matter of twenty or thirty years.

Xiangdangdang Island has entered the "steam era"!

Power looms, steam locomotives, miner's lamps, high-pressure boilers... A series of machines and machinery created by steam engines have been released one after another.

Machines gradually replaced manpower and replaced manual production with large-scale factory production. The transformation of technology also brought about earth-shaking changes in the minds of the islanders. For a moment, people's thoughts were opened, and everyone began to think, as if they had seen the mystery of the universe...

...

Chen Zhen has not left Xiangdangdang Island for several months, but the name of Xiangdangdang Island has been known to more and more people. The Spanish royal family has determined the approximate location of the sea area where Xiangdangdang Island is located, and they are brewing a crackdown and conquest.
