Chapter 281 The Great Electricity Era

As the slides were played one by one, Yu Yifeng was also shocked.

Such underground magma canals would have been unimaginable in primitive times! How much work does this require? How many lives do you need to fill it?

You must know that this is underground, which is more difficult than digging a "Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal"!

Moreover, things like magma will slowly solidify and cool into stone, so after the canal is completed, it will need frequent cleaning and maintenance to operate normally, which increases the amount of work...

This large magma river is the carnival of the ruling class and the cry of the slaves... but at the same time, it does feed a larger population and is a great initiative. Nix people rarely need food. Their digestive function is not good. They only absorb necessary nutrients through food. The main energy source is geothermal energy.

Only slaves will consume large amounts of food to obtain energy, but their lifespan is often short...

Other tribes saw the benefits and began to follow suit. But digging canals required a huge amount of labor, so they launched wars one after another to seize more slave resources...

The endless scenery belongs to the sage class and the ruling class...

But from a historical perspective, slaves were the class that sacrificed the most. They used the simplest tools to create epic greatness. The blood and tears they shed are not enough to fill a hundred magma rivers!

The ruins of a large lava river lie beneath the city of Thor.

It's a pity that as time goes by, it has been filled in by solidified magma and stones... people can no longer see what it looks like.

The entire slave era lasted for a long time, and the deadly work of maintaining the canal could only be done by slaves.

Dynasties changed, slaves revolted, and waves of bloodshed swept across the country...but the system of slavery never changed.

The lava river must exist, so... slaves must also exist.

"The social development here is different from that of us humans. Their feudal system and slavery have always coexisted. No matter how strong the opposition is, slaves will always exist..."

However, the pace of science will not stop because of bloodshed, killing, exploitation and being exploited...

The sage class of Nix civilization, that is, the scientist class, has always been detached from the world.

From ancient times to the present, Nix civilization’s pursuit of wisdom has never stopped. Dynasty changes have little to do with the sage class.

Several powerful tribes unified to form a country, and wars often broke out between countries. However, all rulers were respectful to engineers and scientists.

Without engineers, the country will soon weaken; without scientists, technology will soon be surpassed by other countries...

Knicks scientists are still making a fuss about magma, hoping to make magma play more roles besides heat.

In this way, time passes year by year.

War is the best catalyst for science, and the pressure of survival is also an accelerant for the growth of science.

The living environment here is too poor. Volcanic eruptions or earthquakes can easily kill a large number of lives. The protection of a magma river is far from enough. The Knicks urgently need more powerful industry to fight against nature!

As time passes, one hundred years after another, mathematics, engineering, and mechanics have been invented one after another... which has indeed brought more powerful power, making the Nix civilization's worship of wisdom even greater.

Finally... "Kang", the 22nd great sage in history, established the modern chemical system!

Modern chemistry was born!

The birth of chemistry was an unprecedented breakthrough, which meant that they had a better understanding of various substances in the world.

For the first time, they learned about the existence of oxygen and began to try to create real combustion.

"The first organic combustion phenomenon on the planet Nix was born in the hands of the Great Sage Kang! That is, the burning of wood fibers in pure oxygen."

Hearing this, Yu Yifeng was really sad.

Only after the Knicks invented modern chemistry and understood the nature of combustion, could they create a small amount of oxygen and then use the combustion phenomenon that humans are accustomed to...

In comparison, humans are so happy...

How kind Mother Earth is to mankind!

But then again, even if chemistry appeared, the social era they lived in was still the slave era. Many jobs were still extremely dangerous and required slaves.

Chemistry doesn't change their situation much.

Because the oxygen content in the atmosphere is very low, it is not easy to produce oxygen through chemical means. Even if we use industry to extract oxygen from the atmosphere, it is extremely complicated and expensive because of the low oxygen content.

Especially...oxygen is poisonous to them!

Chemistry, so far, has not been of much use... At most, it has improved the lives of the wealthy class, but has not fundamentally changed the entire society.

But the emergence of chemistry was indeed useful and promoted a large number of subsequent scientific developments.

until……

Three hundred years later, the twenty-fifth great sage "Dyrane" discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction.

An all-round breakthrough has begun.

A historian of the Nyx civilization excitedly recorded in a historical work: "It was an ordinary day, but also an unusual day. A huge sound came from the lava river, and then everyone in the city heard To the point of shouting like crazy..."

"Geothermal energy generator appears in this world!"

This scientific giant actually invented the geothermal generator based on the electromagnetic induction phenomenon! This has brought about a truly huge change in the entire society!

"...Electricity is a huge and bright light that suddenly appeared in the underground world. It only took three years for it to grow from a baby to a giant, but it directly strangled the throat of darkness! For the first time, this world seemed so bright."

"Duke Dilan's invention has rightfully won the title of great sage, and even the rulers of the enemy country cannot refute it..."

"Even... among the 25 great sages who have appeared, it is also the well-deserved first person!"

"Electricity is also called the light of wisdom!"

The era of electricity has come so suddenly!

"Like a whirlwind, it swept across the entire underground world! The darkness faded, and the Nix civilization was reborn, ushering in a new era!"

"A great era!"

When hearing this, all the humans present were excited.

At this moment, they seemed to have transformed into Nix people, witnessing the entire process of a civilization from weakness to rise with their own eyes.

Although the sad ending of this civilization is doomed, people are still excited about it at the moment of its rise.

This is an eagle spreading its wings and emerging from its cocoon into a butterfly!

This is a kind of touching, a wonderful beauty brought by the progress of civilization.

Species are different, but emotions are interlinked, and every species has the right to pursue a better life.

From them, people seem to see the shadow of their own rise. From the Renaissance, to the Enlightenment, to the birth of modern science, every bit of human progress is hard-won. The people present are moved by their own progress, and by the dedication and efforts of the pioneers.

The history of the Nix civilization is heavier and more depressing.

It is not that humans have not experienced such a cruel stage, but every historical moment of the Nix people is experiencing cruelty.

The emergence of electricity is really as warm as the rising sun.

They finally saw that something called "hope" was being born!

They can finally get rid of the dilemma of energy poverty.

They can finally stand up in a world without fire!

A machine called "geothermal steam generator" began to spread widely, and the rulers who prevented its spread... were directly sent to the guillotine by the rebels!

This is an unmatched trend!

Magma is still magma in essence, and there is not much change, but now it has an additional function... power generation!

"Geothermal steam generator", just like human thermal power plants, can convert thermal energy into electrical energy through steam. It is just a small step, but it has achieved a huge leap in production capacity.

Magma can indeed provide huge thermal energy, but thermal energy is not a very easy energy source for industry.

And magma is emitting heat all the time, causing a lot of waste.

If it is used to generate electricity and build a large power station, the energy that can be used will increase by more than a hundred times?

The power era of Nix civilization has developed extremely rapidly, and electrical energy has begun to quickly replace the original magma thermal energy and become a stronger energy source.

Thanks to the book friend "Boring 2B Youth" for the reward, thank you!
