"You are right, compared with the original corned beef, beef jerky or beef smoked sausage. These stewed, soft-boiled canned beef are obviously better than those things."

After hearing what Lawrence said, Syfiel cracked the corners of his mouth and showed an expression like a toothache. She had eaten this kind of travel food on the ship when she went to the Old World to study. I have to say that the corned beef tasted too bad.

At least according to Safir, the beef, even if it has been cooked, has the taste of a cork filled with a lot of salt.

"Yes, before these cans were invented at least twelve or three years ago. Most ordinary people can only eat all kinds of cured meats or pickles during long-distance travel, or they can only eat those that are purchased at high prices through some kind of extraordinary Means to preserve food."

Lawrence shrugged and said, "And now I have to solve another problem."

It is not only adults who face food problems during long-distance travel, but also some babies. Especially during long-distance travel, those women who are breastfeeding may temporarily lose their ability to nurture their babies due to the exhaustion of boats and cars.

Taking into account the high prices of all items that are connected with the extraordinary, Lawrence is preparing to make some popular baby foods.

Fortunately, this world has very good industrial processing capabilities due to the development of the steam industry, plus there are races such as dwarves or dwarfs who are good at making various machines.

So they quickly made a machine for making milk powder in Lawrence by recalling a few sketches they had seen in their previous life.

Although this machine is the oldest pressure box machine among the spray drying machines, it requires a lot of power. However, after considering various issues such as cost-effectiveness and difficulty in mechanical production, Lawrence finally decided to choose this machine.

After all, compared with the milk powder made by some handicraft workshops using iron pots to boil milk, Lawrence is now trying to find someone to make this kind of machine for the factory, which can be said to be infinitely more advanced.

"Tomorrow the first factory we will visit is the dairy factory." Lawrence said to Safir, who was listening to him. "In addition to these machines for making milk powder, I also ordered a batch of Other dairy machines. We can go and take a look at that time."

During the whole day, Lawrence and the others spent most of their time checking these materials, and even the food was brought directly after the monsters' shadows were made.

This also caused them to have to pour themselves a sip of sober potion when they went out to ensure that they had enough energy to deal with various things when they went to the factory for a while.

When they walked out the door, Bach was already waiting for them at the door. Then they rode a carriage to the industrial area on the other side of the city to the southeast.

After the carriage drove along the smooth stone road for five or six minutes, they quickly left the residential area and entered a two-way six-lane road.

Unlike the beautiful stone roads in the previous residential areas, the roads of the main road are paved with coal pitch and stones. According to a flashing street sign on the side of the road, this road is connected to a large-scale passenger and freight mixed port called Baojian Bay at a distance of seven or eight kilometers outside the old town, which is dominated by tourism, on the other side. It is connected to the industrial zone.

And beside the road, there is a railway parallel to the road. Through the window, Lawrence can see a row of steam locomotives with flatbed trucks full of various goods and stuffy tank cars heading towards the port with billowing white smoke. .

"This is the railway from Baojianwan Industrial Zone to Baojianwan Dagang. It has a length of m. Now it is only a single-track freight railway." After the train left, Bach said in front.

"However, as the industrial zone becomes more and more prosperous, the most advanced railway 20 years ago is now a bit weak. Therefore, the newspapers a few days ago have been discussing whether or not to build another railway. The railway becomes a double track."

"Where is the Baojian Bay Dagang on that street sign?" Lawrence asked.

"I remember that we also came by boat from Huguang City, but the port where we went ashore was exquisite, and there were many flower beds and statues. But it didn't look big, and there was no train. station."

"The one you landed in is the tourist port. It is also called the old port in the local people's name. It is a small port open only to tourists going to the tourist city of Baojian Bay." After hearing Lawrence's inquiry, Bach soon Explained the difference between the two ports to Lawrence.

"And Xingang was only established when it was decided to open up this area seven or eighty years ago. It can be said that it is completely a supporting facility of the city's industrial area."

"Different from the old port, the new port is a purely modern port. I heard that the loading and unloading work there has entered the era of mechanization, and the facilities are no worse than that of a large port like Eagle Point."

In this way of inquiring about the local situation, the carriage that Lawrence and Safir rode entered the industrial zone.

I have to say that the chimneys with billowing white smoke in the distance and the clear soot smell in the air, although not choking, give Lawrence an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he is back in college.

After all, Lawrence didn't have a lot of money when he was in college, so he had to live in the attic of a tavern in the workers' district.

In this area, whether it is the dense residential buildings on both sides of the road, or the pipes and chains that cross the building group and above the road, he feels a strange intimacy.

"This is the smell of hope." As he passed the door of a factory, Bach took a deep breath of the soot that became slightly richer and said with emotion.

In this world, due to the power of the gods and druids of nature, as long as the factories that are more formal are not inferior or even better than those of Lawrence's previous life in terms of environmental protection.

Therefore, in this world, the soot smell from burning fossil fuels is even considered a symbol of modern society. For example, when he was in Neussauer before, Lawrence heard many people think that the city is an important symbol of backwardness. That is, there is only the smell of the sea and the forest in the air, and there is no smell of soot.

But then again, thanks to the research of the priests and druids of the gods of nature, the technology that can cure all kinds of pollution. Therefore, the waste gas and wastewater discharged by these factories are only unsightly in color and odorous, and will soon be harmlessly decomposed by nature.

So for workers in this world, the environment in the factory is not very harmful to their bodies~lightnovelpub.net~ What really affects their lifespan is the high-intensity labor, certain noises, and the ones they live in. Infectious diseases are prevalent in the neighborhood due to the harsh environment caused by densely populated and basically unmanaged.

Fortunately, due to the high profits of the industry in this era, all kinds of commodities have become cheap due to modern logistics, and the various Orthodox churches have severely cracked down on the excessive squeezing of workers for various reasons. Therefore, it is far better for workers to go to the city and work in the factory than in the past to farm for others in the village.

When the Lawrence carriage came to the entrance of the dairy factory, she unexpectedly saw many people lined up at the entrance.

So after entering the door and chatting with the factory manager who came to greet him, Lawrence asked the people in line at the door what they were waiting for there.

"Under your order, this dairy factory is preparing to expand, so naturally it needs more workers." The director introduced to Lawrence. "Although we have prepared some technicians for the new plant, most of the workers needed have to be hired again."

"And these people who are lining up at the door came to apply after hearing that we were going to recruit." The factory manager straightened his chest when he said that, and said with pride. "After all, ours here is the best factory in this area."
