Chapter 338: Cultivator Shen Lian, an epoch-making discovery

Thousand-mile voice transmission.

It refers to the ability to transmit sound and communicate even when separated by thousands of miles.

In the past.

The people of Great Yan would never have dared to believe such a thing.

But as the wind of technology took root in people's hearts, steam engines spread across the world.

Many people firmly believed.

As long as technology continues to develop, thousand-mile voice transmission can also become a reality!

"After screening these materials, we have narrowed down the research scope and focused on finding carrier materials capable of conducting sound."

The personnel of the Great Yan Research Institute continued their report: "As long as we find a material that can conduct sound, we can truly realize thousand-mile voice transmission."

Yan listened to the institute's reply and nodded silently.

Indeed.

Only two years have passed.

Being able to achieve the current breakthrough is already quite remarkable.

After all...

In his impression, thousand-mile voice transmission could be called a divine method.

It is an immortal art that only those in the cultivation worlds can master!

Subsequently.

Yan took a deep breath.

He said in a deep voice: "Since the research direction has been locked, then... issue a reward and announce it to the world."

"If anyone can provide the most suitable carrier for sound transmission, I will surely reward them heavily, granting titles and ranks; I will not be stingy with nobility!"

Soon.

An imperial decree was issued from the palace.

It was announced to the world.

People among the populace who were proficient in technology joined the research ranks one after another.

Searching for the most suitable carrier for sound transmission.

……

Great Yan Calendar Year 77.

Great Yan Kingdom, Southern City.

With the laying of various steam railway tracks, Southern City, located at a transportation hub...

Rose rapidly due to its superior geographical location.

It became the largest city in the south.

Within Southern City, there was a population of over one million.

The city's development already had the shadow of a modern city.

The cement streets were clean and tidy.

The shops lined up on both sides were bustling with activity.

This was also the large city with the most complex population structure within the Great Yan Kingdom.

Because...

Many captives from the transcendent worlds conquered by the Great Yan Kingdom settled in this city.

One could often see the figures of martial artists, cultivators, giants, and mages here.

However...

Compared to the people of the Great Yan Kingdom, their personal rights were strictly restricted.

Their household registration was also not that of a normal citizen.

But a captive registration!

According to the provisions of the "Great Yan Law".

They needed to serve thirty years of labor before they could change from a captive registration to a commoner.

Inside the city, in a dilapidated civilian house.

Shen Lian, a cultivator, was reading a book with intense concentration.

Other cultivators living with him saw his obsessed appearance...

They couldn't help but shake their heads.

"Shen Lian, what is the use of you reading these heavenly books all day?"

"That's right, get some rest early, we have to leave early tomorrow to lay the tracks."

"Speaking of which, life in this Great Yan Kingdom is really convenient..."

"It's much better than our original cultivation world; toothbrushes, washbasins, steam cars, trains—the cultivation world didn't have these things."

"……"

With the assimilation over these years.

These cultivators had gradually adapted to life in Great Yan.

In Great Yan.

All aspects of life were extremely convenient.

And they only needed to complete the prescribed labor every day; at other times, they could plan their own time as they pleased.

If they encountered any conflicts...

They could just call the Great Yan patrol team at any time.

And they didn't have to worry about being envied by others for killing and seizing treasures.

Here.

Life and private property were above all else and inviolable.

It was completely different from the cultivation world where human life was as cheap as grass.

The most authoritative entity was not any sect.

But the Great Yan imperial court!

"You guys go to sleep first, I'll sleep after I finish reading this volume of physics."

Shen Lian glanced at his companions and immersed himself again in the world of knowledge in his hands.

More than ten years ago.

The cultivation world was destroyed.

Two hundred thousand cultivators were captured and brought to the Great Yan Kingdom.

He was one of them.

As a defeated person and a captive, he originally thought his remaining life would be very miserable.

But he didn't expect...

The Great Yan Kingdom did not treat them too harshly.

It only stipulated their status and the labor they needed to undertake daily.

At other times, they could move freely.

In the years he had lived here.

He witnessed with his own eyes the magical Great Yan and its rapid development.

Almost every year.

The Great Yan Kingdom would have earth-shaking changes.

He could feel that the Great Yan Kingdom was growing strong at a speed visible to the naked eye!

With strong troops and sturdy horses, a wealthy nation and strong people.

And all of this was brought about by "science," which was believed in by all of Great Yan.

Gradually.

He began to have an interest in science.
