Faced with Anna's doubts, Zhang Yuan sighed. It is indeed effective to use technical means to promote the whole world, but his efficiency alone is too slow.

It is too difficult to change the essence. Don’t think that the emergence of telegrams will make humans become normal to overdo the electrical age.

The land of this world is equivalent to only Southeast Asian archipelago on the earth. Without looking for a new continent, it is impossible to break through the real upper boundary of development without finding a little living space.

He took a globe and explained to Anna: "This is our planet, and more than 95% of the ones that have been discovered are oceans."

The globe is divided into two halves, one is bright and the other is dark.

The Rock City is located in the dark area of ​​the southern hemisphere, with a latitude of about 22.5 degrees south latitude.

"Humans urgently need a greater living space to develop better. A region with light and suitable temperatures can be used to grow a large amount of food and feed more people!"

"And the average temperature on this planet is too high, and places with light are too hot, and places without light cannot grow plants. So... where is such a suitable place to live?"

Zhang Yuan pointed to both ends of the globe, first, the Antarctic and second, the North Pole.

The temperature in the North and South Poles is lower than in other areas, and there is a polar daylight phenomenon. After a series of calculations, the temperature should reach about 0-5 degrees Celsius. This temperature can accommodate people.

If a new continent can be found in the light belt of the North and South Poles, the living conditions of human beings will undoubtedly undergo tremendous changes.

"Do you have to go?" Anna didn't understand why she had to go out to find a new world in such a wealthy state. Even though she knew that her brother was an ambitious person, it was still difficult for her to understand.

Moreover, Antarctica is too far away!

This world is not like the Earth, where large continents can temporarily dock. Because the entire planet is locked by tidal locks, one end is hot and the other end is cold, and hot and cold convection often produces large storms and tsunamis.

The longer you sail, the higher the chance of disaster will be.

Zhang Yuan smiled but did not answer.

...

The stars in the sky gradually disappeared, and it was destined to be a dark night...

There were so many guests, and the burning gas lamps illuminated the entire mansion. Zhang Yuan was warmly entertaining more than 80 guests at home, a small part of whom were scientists in the information industry, and a part of them were celebrities, including some business giants with good personal relationships, plus some government executives, etc.

They were eating and drinking, drinking and eating, laughing and laughing, and they also tested each other's business bottom line, and the invisible smoke of gunpowder was already permeating the air.

There was only one telegram on the topic of the banquet! No one talked about the playboy's scandals. Some old men heard of such a magical thing and looked suspicious.

The food on the dining table is very exquisite and comes from high-end ingredients from all over the world. After being handed by the court chefs, even some guests with very small appetites ate a lot.

Zhang Yuan stood ahead and introduced the specific working principle of telegraph, including the economic growth that may be driven in the future and the expected profits.

“…In summary, it is a more reliable signal transmission tool and is not limited by weather and paths.”

In fact, these high-ranking officials and nobles were not interested in the principle of telegraph. They didn't understand the so-called transmitting antenna and Moss password at all. They were only interested in interests. Anyone with a normal mind knew what kind of changes this thing would bring!

This is a real upheaval!

Unparalleled interests, a huge, visible cake, were all placed in front of you.

Her Majesty the elderly Queen, reading this latest telegram, her brows frowned and became stretched. She had learned the authenticity of this message from the doves back and forth.

In the past, it took 6 hours to use pigeons to convey information with another island, but now it takes less than half a second.

A new era has arrived, old industries will be eliminated, and new industries will rise again.

However, all the patents are in Zhang Yuan's hands, and it doesn't matter that those scientists can get a little share. It's not important that these smart people deserve to be rewarded.

The equity in Zhang Yuan’s hand is the big one, which means how big the cake can be divided.

Just thinking about this, some nobles had already held their breath, as if they had seen a gold mountain that had not been discovered. A few old guys had some bad thoughts, and they were wondering whether this young man seemed to be married yet, could he do some work and marry his daughter...

Zhang Yuan finally said calmly: "...Of course, a new industry must require all-round cooperation. Whether it is equipment or human resources, we need steel, copper, and engineers, whether it is universities or steel smelting plants, should participate. On different islands, building signal receiving towers is expensive, so our company is eager to seek more cooperation."

"Here, I announce a decision."

For a while, the room was so quiet that everyone was waiting for Zhang Yuan's announcement.

"...I am willing to sell part of the equity in exchange for an opportunity to sail in the ocean!"

This announcement was unexpected!

After listening to Zhang Yuan’s description of all his ambitions, many people all had a thought at the same time and he went crazy!

Ocean navigation? Exploring the Antarctic? This is no longer a category of ambition, but... crazy!

Looking back and looking at the black on the globe, it means that a large number of areas that have not yet been cultivated or extremely dangerous, the old duke who has a little friendship with Zhang Yuan persuaded: "Your Excellency Earl, you are still very young and you have a great future. Why do you have to do such things that have far greater risks than interests?"

His voice was already serious: "Only those down-and-out nobles who have paranoia will do this!"

Another scientist also stood up and persuaded, "Yes, Lord Earl, in fact, this idea had come to an early age. A hundred years ago, someone had explored some parts of the Arctic. But they eventually found nothing, and the captain went bankrupt and committed suicide on his way back... Lord Earl, why do you do this?"

He said this because he truly admired Zhang Yuan's talent.

"Oh! There is also a fleet that once went to Antarctica, but they did not come back. Either they encountered a big storm or a tsunami."

"Even if you find some small islands in Antarctica, it doesn't make any sense! It's too remote and no one wants to settle there unless you can discover a whole continent! But this probability is slim!"

Most of the people below didn't know what to say, and they were in agitation. Many people were eager to get more equity in the telegraph company, and they were so happy because of Zhang Yuan's madness, but they could not show it to their faces. They could only stand up one by one to pretend to comfort them.

But the truth is just an unknown.

Some of them were advised, some were jealous, some were secretly excited, and some were also wishing that Zhang Yuan would die in the shipwreck. Only a small number of them were really worried about his personal health.

Zhang Yuan shook his head gently, this is, the real...human.
