Chapter 589 (1/2)
Shi Xiong didn't rush to the dry dock to see the built iron boat, but first walked around the base with hard bone and the river. Of course, accompanied by Jack Williams, David Addison and Adrian Carlos.
Williams and Dean were among the first four alchemists to follow the stone bear, but they no longer call themselves alchemists, but call themselves ”scientists”.
In fact, with their current inventions, they are more qualified to have the title of ”scientist” than most of the so-called scientists in Europe. Among other things, look at the white steel in the workshop, look at the equipment full of industrial power, it's almost all thanks to Williams and Addison.
This kind of scene, in this era, even in those European powers can not see!
Even the stone bear can be very proud to say that the situation of this industrial base is at least one century ahead of those European powers!
In fact, in this era, invention is a very easy thing.
With the development of human beings, after thousands of years of farming era, the industrial revolution will be launched naturally. At the beginning of the industrial revolution, an idea or an idea could make you a real scientist.
This is the same as the Internet era.
Those Internet tycoons of later generations, in the initial stage, didn't they all rely on an idea or idea to finally succeed?
The same is true in an era when the industrial revolution is just emerging.
But now is the age of steel, and the Internet age is the age of code.
After a big circle, the stone bear was really satisfied.
The scale of Norfolk shipyard is far less than that of Shangjing industrial base. Even Daqingshan industrial base is more than ten times larger than here. But here, it is an industrial base with the highest technological content of the whole Yanhuang tribe.
Here, water has become only auxiliary power, here the main power source is the steam engine - the size of the steam engine!
Even under the guidance of stone bear, the open hearth steelmaking furnace built by Williams and Dean is powered by steam engine.
Although the steam engine is the most advanced power source, but the stone bear is not satisfied. Shi Xiong plans to take advantage of the period of the war of independence to start the research and development of internal combustion engine.
Now the Yanhuang tribe, which has laid the foundation of the five Great Lakes, has included the first oil producing area in North America. Bill Gates, who is proficient in chemical experiments, is now preparing to purify the black crude oil produced by the famous ”oil stream”.
In the original historical time and space, this oil stream in northeastern Pennsylvania was the site of the first oil well in the United States. At the junction of the oil stream and the Allegheny River, an oil city appears.
If there is no stone bear, this is the territory of Seneca, one of the six tribes in the Iroquois League. Now the stone bear has even defeated the whole Iroquois League, which naturally becomes the territory controlled by the stone bear.
