Chapter 2546 - 2545: Industrialization
The bearded man was mid-air when he spewed a gush of fresh blood. Before he even hit the sea below, he was already completely dead.
Having dealt with the instigator with one blow, Ling Feng looked at the remaining three people and the strong men behind them, and asked in a deep voice, "Does anyone want to come out for a duel?"
"...."
The others were speechless.
After exchanging looks, one of them asked, "What...what do you want?"
"What do you think?" Ling Feng countered.
The person swallowed, thought for a moment, and said, "Our army has been completely destroyed by you, without any strength or people left. What else do you want?"
"You need to answer some of my questions!"
Ling Feng uttered, then said to Ling Yao, "Take the ship ashore, leave the others for the emperor to handle, but these guys I want to take with me!"
"Alright!"
Ling Yao nodded, and the large ship hovering in the air immediately moved inland.
Those on the ship were even more clueless.
Initially, they didn’t understand why they and the ship would go ashore; now they finally understood.
But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t comprehend why a seemingly delicate woman would possess such amazing abilities!
This eastern continent doesn’t seem as weak as it appears!
The ship quickly reached the air above the land and then slowly descended.
"I don’t need to say anything more, do I? Have everyone on the ship disembark and prepare to be arrested immediately!" Ling Feng said to the few in front of him.
Facing Ling Feng’s demand, no one dared to disagree, so the order was quickly given.
At this moment, the spaceship carrying Li Huang and Li Chunxi also landed, stopping beside the large ship.
When seeing the soldiers from Jinhae City coming out, Li Chunxi immediately went over and gave orders, so everyone who came down from the ship was arrested and then taken away.
As for the remaining few, once Ling Feng and Li Huang’s father and daughter arrived on the ship, they began interrogating them.
It turned out the opponents were very cooperative, revealing everything they knew.
The reason they dared to invade the Li Dynasty was mainly because there was an insider within the Li Dynasty!
A family surnamed Cao from Jiangnan, a very famous wealthy family in the local area, had someone named Cao Ang. When he was young, he went overseas by boat and established connections with people on the American continent.
He is the traitor selling out the Li Dynasty, who collected the current situation of the Li Dynasty, attracting those arrogant guys.
The reason these people had firearms and other weapons was indeed because the current American continent had already entered the steam age, with scientific and technological developments underway.
Their industrial revolution commenced, Europe received the news, and they too began developing industries.
Upon hearing this information, Ling Feng felt quite displeased!
Because he knew the history of his own world, where Western countries began development ahead of the East, releasing a massive amount of carbon dioxide into the Earth’s atmosphere. Once they became developed countries, they then demanded developing Huaxia to pay attention to the environment, which was simply robber logic.
And now, here, the Westerners once again preceded the East, repeating the mistakes of history.
After extracting the detailed information from those people, Ling Feng didn’t kill them. He merely handed them over to the Li Dynasty’s military, as to what end they would face, it was no longer his concern.
The party returned to the Capital City, where Li Huang promptly ordered the military to surround the Cao family in Jiangnan and immediately search for Cao Ang’s whereabouts to ensure his capture!
Those who sell out their country must receive due punishment!
With the crisis averted, although Li Huang was furious, he still expressed gratitude to Ling Feng, and Ling Feng said nothing, quickly leaving with Ling Yao.
When only the two of them were left, Ling Feng finally expressed his concerns.
After hearing him, Ling Yao laughed, "Your concern is reasonable, but I think with you around, the Li Dynasty’s development is bound to be faster than the Western world. They are just getting started!"
"Maybe not, considering the time gap is over a hundred years, who knows how fast their development speed will be?"
Ling Feng shook his head and then gave a wry smile, "I kind of don’t know what to do now. How do you think I should stop their industrialization process?"
"I’m afraid it can’t be stopped, right?"
Ling Yao pondered for a moment, then shook her head, "Unless you kill them all!"
"..."
Ling Feng was speechless because he knew Ling Yao was right.
After thinking about it, Ling Feng felt relieved, "Forget it, since development is inevitable, let them pollute all they want. As long as the Li Dynasty continues on the path of clean energy, why bother with so much?"
"Exactly, just let this side become powerful, and let other places mess around as they wish!"
Ling Yao said.
As the two spoke, they returned to Shiliu Village, then teleported back to Lingyun Island, and went to Gu Li’s office.
Seeing the two return, Gu Li asked, "All prepared?"
"Yes, let’s first take some construction personnel over for measurements, once the plan is designed, we can proceed with construction!" Ling Feng nodded.
Upon hearing this, Gu Li immediately gave Ling Yao a thumbs up, "Miss Ling is now comparable to a deity!"
"Just a trivial skill," Ling Yao replied with a faint smile.
Soon, the construction and measurement personnel organized by Ling Corporation boarded a ship, which was then taken by Ling Feng back to the vicinity of the newly built dam in the Capital City.
When the workers began taking measurements, Li Chunxi also arrived.
She knew Ling Feng was going to return, so she didn’t go with them, and now seeing him, she naturally wouldn’t miss the chance to spend time together.
Ling Feng wasn’t quite aware of this girl’s thoughts, he just greeted her and went to oversee the work.
But Li Chunxi’s curious nature kicked in, and soon she was asking questions left and right, quickly exhausting Ling Feng’s limited knowledge on power generation.
Finally, unable to help, he told Li Chunxi, "I don’t quite understand the principle of the generator either; if you’re curious, go find the answer on the Lingyun!"
"Alright, I’ll ask again later!"
Li Chunxi pouted, then asked, "When can this power station be completed?"
"I’m not sure, once the plan is designed, and the generator sets are bought and construction is underway, at least it will take a month!" Ling Feng said.
"So fast?"
Li Chunxi widened her eyes.
"I actually think it’s slow, and you think it’s fast?" Ling Feng asked.
Li Chunxi nodded, "Yeah, it takes us one or two months just to build a house, and such a big project of yours can be done in a month?"
