Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 441: The planet locked by the tides

　　 In this world, the sky is dark, and a few pitch-black crows are croaking in the sky.

　　 The sun will never rise from the east, here is the eternal night, with only a starry sky, emitting dim light above the head.

　　 In order to adapt to the low light environment, everyone's eyes grow larger than the real world, especially girls, just like the characters in the anime world, their eyes are big and beautiful. The main reason is that the larger the pupil, the more sensitive the perception of light.

　　 "In the steam age, there is no daylight, a strange world..." Zhang Yuan exhaled a suffocating breath in his chest.

　　He has been living here quietly for 18 years. At the beginning, just like the previous world, he had a certain tendency to autism. However, this condition has completely improved with the awakening of self-awareness.

　　 raised his head and looked at the stars in the distance. He easily recognized the so-called "Polaris".

　　 The starry sky here is completely different from that on Earth. "Polaris" is just a similar term in astronomy and is commonly used in navigation.

　　 There are still no abilities and magic in this world. His so-called "golden finger" is a very good noble origin, a strong body, and some mechanical design drawings about the steam age.

　　 Well, apart from a good background, this kind of "golden finger" is really better than nothing. Zhang Yuan even felt that the various knowledge in his mind was much more effective than mechanical drawings.

　　 He turned his head and looked at the crescent moon directly above. The shadow of the moon was actually because the sun was blocked by the earth itself.

　　"In other words, this planet is still a sphere, so the contour of the moon covered by an arc is in the shape of an arc."

　　Because there is no sunshine, the number of people that can be fed on this piece of land is not large. According to the information currently known, the total number of several continents in the world is only 100 million people.

　　Most people don’t live well.

　　 There is a small globe on the table, which was made by Zhang Yuan based on local nautical images, half dark and half bright. Due to the harsh environment of the planet itself, only about one-tenth of the area that humans have explored.

　　"There is no day in this place, only night, so there is only one possibility... This planet has been locked by the central stellar tide, so the sunrise side is always daytime, and the other side is always night. We humans, Live at night."

　　Tidal lock is a very common phenomenon in astronomy. For example, the moon always faces the earth with the same side. The time for a tide-locked celestial body to revolve around its own axis is equivalent to the revolution period.

　　 So, this planet actually has light, and at least half of the area has light.

　　 Then, why don’t human beings live in the light zone of the planet?

　　The reason is that the planet is too close to the central star, and the illuminated side is extremely hot. Humans cannot survive the high temperature in the light zone, but can only live on the dark side where the temperature is reasonable...

　　 "What a miserable world!"

　　 However, according to the logical point of view of physical rules, there must be no lack of such a tragic civilization in the universe... even if it is currently only a virtual world.

　　Zhang Yuan is thinking, what can this civilization change with his arrival...

　　 is already a habitual thinking for him.

　　 "Lord Earl, you should prepare for the ball held by Duke Warta... The time has come." The old deacon interrupted Zhang Yuan's thoughts and made a unique noble etiquette.

　　 "Okay, thank you for your reminder." Zhang Yuan nodded, and under the service of the servant, he put on his tuxedo and leather shoes, and then quickly boarded a steam locomotive.

　　In this world, because of his good reincarnation, he has the status of "Earl". His cheap father, a year ago, died in a shipwreck, and then the queen granted the hereditary title to Zhang Yuan... This should be regarded as part of the "golden finger", so that he can live without effort. To live a very wealthy life.

　　 The engine "suddenly" emits smoke, and the steam locomotive starts, but it is not trembling as expected, indicating that the steam car here has been improved for many generations.

　　 This is the Boulder City, the most eastern city on the mainland. The temperature is about 24-26 degrees Celsius throughout the year, which is very suitable for human habitation. The only drawback is that there is no sunlight.

　　The warm ocean currents from the western sunbelt, with a continuous source of fish and algae, are also a food source for urban residents.

　　 Starting from Boulder City, the further west you go, the closer to the light, and the hotter the weather.

　　 500 kilometers west is the twilight zone of the planet where light and darkness meet. In the twilight zone, the temperature has reached as high as 40 degrees Celsius. Humans settle in this area and can barely survive, but they are quite uncomfortable. But many animals and plants can live very happily.

　　 No matter how unsuitable for survival in the twilight zone, with sunlight, it can naturally grow all kinds of plants, so it has become a very important plant production base in the west of the mainland.

　　 Some not very wealthy people, as well as all kinds of slaves, endured the high temperature and farmed in the twilight zone for a living. Zhang Yuan's family also has a small territory in that area. Of course, he just knew about it, and he hadn't seen it in person.

　　 On the contrary, starting from Boulder City, the more eastward, the weather will get colder.

　　 There are few continents on this planet. The east is an endless ocean with a temperature of minus 20 degrees all year round. The coldest place can reach minus 100 degrees Celsius, forming a thick layer of ice, which is the so-called forbidden zone for humans.

　　 "huh"

　　 Human beings are too difficult~IndoMTL.com~Zhang Yuan exhaled gently, rubbed his hands, and shrugged his nose. From a long distance, he could smell the unique smell of coal burning.

　　 Coal, the most precious substance in the dull world, it means energy and light.

　　If there is no coal, there will be no industrial revolution. Without the industrial revolution, human life will be even more miserable. At least for now, 100 million people live on the mainland and islands. It is said that in ancient times, the entire continent could only live on millions of people.

　　The steam locomotive is running slowly on the road. The pavement is paved with the dregs of burning coal and mixed with asphalt, exuding a faint sulphur smell.

　　 There are people coming and going on the street, and the gas lamps on the side of the road are glowing dimly. Many people can't light a gas lamp in their homes. The light source on the street is the only light source for them. Some children are doing homework on the side of the road.

Every household has put some bean sprouts-like plants in front of the door. This kind of negative plant can grow with a little gas light source. For ordinary people, vegetables are precious. Anyway, the light source is provided by the government, so why not do it?

　　"Rum from the Gar Islands! And the freshest'Antima' ingredients, everything!"

　　 "The grape grass just caught, fresh!"

　　 There are many vendors chanting and doing business on the street. In this downtown area, food, wine, jewellery, and spices from different islands are all available, forming a false and prosperous picture.
