Chapter 772 The Air in Daming Is Sweet (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe)

Why come to Daming?

Until the mail ship arrived at the port, Morgan was still not sure whether his trip was the right choice.

“This is an amazing country.”

Many people who have been to this land have used similar words to describe this country.

This is certainly a magical country. He has only been in this world for six years.

Even if we include the company era, it is only 15 years.

But in such a short period of time, this country has risen to become a powerful country that is no less powerful than the United States. What kind of miracle is this?

Faced with such a miracle, who would not be shocked?

When the ship entered the port, the city before their eyes was shrouded in a large area of ​​faint white light, as if it was a beam of dazzling moonlight shot out from the ground. It was a city shrouded in lights.

Such a city once made people doubt whether it really existed.

This is a city that never sleeps.

When the boat stopped, Ketcham said:

"This is the city that never sleeps!"

"The City That Never Sleeps..., No,"

An American next to him immediately answered,

"This is not the city that never sleeps, but a city of the future. What we are about to enter is the future, sir."

future……

Is this the city?

With such questions in mind, Morgan and Ketcham came to the city. After passing the customs inspection, they took the tram outside the customs building to enter the city.

"electricity!"

Ketcham turned and said to Morgan.

"There is no doubt that everything in the Ming Dynasty is related to electricity. Trams are also powered by electricity because they don't emit any smoke. Of course, New York now has a tram company. However, Morgan, most people in New York are using oil lamps, but here, people have been using electric lights for many years..."

The tram stopped and started along the way, with people getting on and off. As the tram passed through the street, street lamps cast a strong light from above them, lighting up the entire street together with the lights from the shops.

“The lights in New York aren’t this bright!”

Ketcham exclaimed.

"That's because their electricity is cheap, they use water, they use water to run the generator, my friend, that's why I came here."

Why is Morgan here?

It was because of the movie he watched. When he saw the turbine turning and the power switch being turned on and the city being lit up, he made up his mind to come to Ming Dynasty.

He came to Daming to introduce hydropower station equipment and technology. He wanted to build a hydropower station in the United States. As long as there is water, the hydropower station can provide electricity continuously! It is definitely cheaper than using coal to generate electricity.

Others watch movies for fun, but Morgan, as a businessman, sees business opportunities!

After the tram had been running on this wide and long street for more than twenty minutes, they finally arrived at their destination - the Peace Hotel.

After getting off the car and walking towards the hotel along the flat road, Kcham suddenly took a deep breath and then exclaimed "Ah".

"Morgan, did you notice?"

"What did you find?"

“The air here is sweet!”

"What?"

Morgan was surprised.

"I mean the air here is sweet and doesn't smell like horse manure."

"like……"

Taking a deep breath, Morgan agreed.

"It seems... it really doesn't smell like horse manure."

In New York, whether in the slums or the rich areas, there is always a lingering smell of urine on the streets. That is the smell of horse manure. Horses are the most important means of transportation in New York. There are about 200,000 horses in New York, and those horses excrete more than 5 million pounds of excrement every day.

Piles of horse manure began to accumulate in the open spaces of New York City. In the summer, the horse manure stank to the sky; in the rainy season, the horse manure flowed along the rainwater to the sidewalks and seeped into the residents' homes. For this reason, they even built the doorsteps of their houses several steps higher than the street to prevent the horse manure from seeping into their homes.

New York stinks in the summer, but what about here?

The air here is sweet!

"Sure enough, what those people said in their travel notes is indeed true - in every city in Daming, you can breathe the fragrance of the air, without any peculiar stench of cities!"

Amidst admiration, they walked into the Peace Hotel. After completing the check-in procedures, the waiter led them to a spacious room illuminated by bright electric lights.

"Sir, the brightness of the lights in the room can be adjusted."

The waiter explained to them.

“Can it be adjusted?”

Ketcham wondered.

"How to adjust it?"

"With the flip of a switch, this light can be transformed into a soft sleeping lamp."

After the waiter taught Kcham how to check the brightness of the desk lamp, Kcham actually started to fiddle with it like a child.

"Morgan, this is amazing. The brightness of the light can be adjusted."

Ketcham said as he fiddled with the rotary switch of the desk lamp, brightening and dimming the light again and again.

"Yes, it is amazing. If you like, I can give you a lamp like this."

It was nothing big, just a light bulb. Of course, Morgan needed to show this state. Although he was surprised, he didn't need to be surprised!

Morgan hung his hat on the coat rack, then took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, talking as he walked.

"Anyway, since we're already here, let's discuss these strange things tomorrow. Maybe, tomorrow there will be..."

As he spoke, he sat down on the bed.

"Ah, this bed, what's wrong with it!"

Morgan stood up quickly, then he pressed the bed hard and made a surprising discovery.

"Kecham, take a quick look at this bed. It's actually elastic?"

"Elastic? How can it be...really, it seems, it seems...could it be..."

Ketcham pressed it again, then said in surprise.

“Is there a spring in it?”

There really are springs. In fact, the spring mattress was invented by Emperor Zhu as early as the Nanhua period. However, due to the high price of springs, it has never been put on the market until last year, when the spring mattress called "Sweet Dream" was first introduced to the market. Its users are no longer limited to a few rich people. The Peace Hotel, as the most high-end hotel in the Ming Dynasty, has just replaced its spring mattresses.

"This... is incredible!"

Morgan, who was so surprised that he could no longer control his emotions, jumped on the bed like a child. When he was bounced up, he said excitedly.

"Is it true that there are springs? Can you sleep comfortably on this spring bed?"

"Won't you know if you try it?"

Faced with this bed they had never seen before, they put aside all their doubts and lay down on it. As soon as they lay down, they discovered the advantages of this bed. Compared with the hard beds in the past, this mattress was soft and elastic. Soon they wanted to fall asleep. Before falling asleep, Morgan looked at the ceiling and talked to himself.

“I believe that we will have new gains here!”

Morgan was convinced of this, because just arriving here gave him an unprecedented shock.

He fell asleep soon due to being a little tired...
