I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

Chapter 344 Agricultural Mecha (page 12)

1880, spring.

This year, King Wilhelm II of the German Empire chose Berlin to host a World Expo and invited countries around the world to participate.

The origin of the World Expo was a regular market held by European merchants in the Middle Ages. The market initially only involved economic trade.

By the 19th century, the status of the business community in Europe had improved, the size of the market gradually expanded, the types of commodity transactions and the number of participants increased, and the scope of influence became wider and wider, ranging from economy to the art of life to the ideal philosophy of life.

By the 19s, this large-scale market had become an exposition.

In ancient farming societies, people often carried out trading activities during harvest celebrations, religious ceremonies, and festive festivals. Later, they gradually developed into regular, fixed-site, large-scale trade and display gatherings for the purpose of exchanging goods.

This was the earliest form of the World Expo. In the 5th century AD, Persia held the first exhibition that went beyond the function of a market.

In the 18th century, with the continuous emergence of new technologies and products, people gradually thought of holding exhibitions that were similar to fairs, but only for display and not for sale, with the purpose of promoting and displaying new products and achievements.

The Czech Republic held its first such exhibition in Prague in 1791. With the advancement of science and technology and the development of social productivity, the scale of exhibitions has gradually expanded. The geographical scope of exhibitions has expanded from one place to the whole country, from domestic to foreign countries, until it has developed into a world exposition participated by many countries.

In order to carry out this exposition, the Kaiser even built a huge factory in Berlin.

There is nothing here, but the space is large enough to accommodate most of the country stalls that come here as well as some private stalls.

Huge pillars support the factory building, with huge glass windows as grand as a cathedral on both sides. I heard that this place will be converted into a factory in the future, so such a large area of ​​land will not be wasted.

At this moment, there was a huge flow of people in the factory, mostly upper-class people in suits and leather shoes.

Some of them are aristocrats from other countries, while some are emerging capitalists, as well as officials appointed by some countries, who come here to find or understand the frontiers of European science and technology.

Galante is also here. His company Mercedes also has a booth here. It is the latest car. Compared with the previous vehicle that only had a sofa, this time it has an extra fence and a roof. Has a sunshade function.

Of course, more is the upgrade of the engine system. This car runs faster and is more stable.

The technology he actually controls is much more advanced than what is currently exposed to the world. However, squeezing out toothpaste is normal for him. It is not a good thing to eat too much of the market. The only way to make a fortune is to keep silent.

He did not stay too long at his own booth, but continued to visit the other booths.

This exhibition was actually opened at the suggestion of Galante. William II was very ambitious and wanted to become the overlord and leader of Europe.

In fact, although Germany during this period was not as good as the remaining heroes of the Sixth Generation, the previous wise kings played a crucial role in the expansion and industrialization of the German Empire.

The national power of the German Empire during this period can be said to be unprecedentedly powerful.

And since you want to be a leader, you must naturally show your industrial strength. There are six Deutsche booths here alone.

But in addition, Britannia and Beichen also sent people to exhibit.

What Beichen is exhibiting is an airplane. This should be the first exhibition of this kind of jet aircraft in a large exhibition.

Before the exhibition began, Beichen people had already demonstrated this aircraft, which is more flexible than an airship. Many people were interested in it and gathered around it.

What Britannia exhibited was the power system of an ocean-going ship. It was very large and looked very complicated.

At least most people can't understand it, but judging from the way the people from Beichen stopped there, it seemed that their technical skills were quite high.

However, Galante stopped at the other end of the factory building. Here, in front of a private booth, officials, capitalists and nobles from various countries were crowded.

Galante's eyes were filled with curiosity and he squeezed in.

The owner of the stall is a very handsome young man with a high nose and deep eyes. He is wearing a crisp suit and his hair is combed back. He is the type that many young girls like nowadays.

Galante liked his eyes, which were very deep, and there was a kind of confidence belonging to a young man deep in his eyes.

Galante used to have this look in his eyes, but as he got older and saw more and more things, he learned to hide what was exposed.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the exhibit beside him.

It is a scorpion-type mechanical creation with a pair of huge pincers in front of it, six legs, and a long scorpion tail behind it.

If you just regard this thing as a work of art, it might be very good, but...

Galante looked at the sign hanging on the booth, which said it was an agricultural harvester.

Can this thing really move?

Galante is skeptical.

"Hello, gentlemen and ladies," the young man said.

He put his hands behind his back and his voice was steady and strong.

"My name is Nikola Stella, please remember this name, because after today, this name is destined to ring throughout the world."

He came to the side of the mechanical scorpion, looked at everyone present and said.

"The next product I want to introduce is this. Its name is agricultural bionic mecha."

He climbed onto the scorpion mecha and sat on the seat above. Most of his body was covered, with only his shoulders and head exposed.

He turned the start button on the console and started.

The diesel engine inside the mecha was successfully started, making a buzzing roar. Along with this sound, dark exhaust gas was discharged from the exhaust pipe at the rear end.

Then, under people's exclamations, the scorpion actually slowly stood up from its lying position.

The young man's assistant moved a cardboard box over. The cardboard box contained a lot of soil, and wheat was planted on the soil.

Tesla controlled the scorpion-shaped mecha to approach slowly. Even Galante felt it was moving forward with incredible smoothness, just like a real scorpion.

Of course, if you look carefully, there are still some small flaws, but considering that this thing is completely machine-made, such flaws are almost negligible.

Under the natural light shining through the glass skylight, the color of the mecha's shell is the most natural.

It's not as smooth and shiny as Tony's mecha, and it looks futuristic at first glance.

The casing is a bit rough, not even painted in many places, and there are a lot of scratches, and maybe even some rust in some places because some materials have been left for a long time.

But even so, in just a few steps, the technology contained in it is already far ahead of this era.

Soon, the mecha came to the side of the wheat, and the two pliers at the front opened into a straight-line harvester.
