In the blink of an eye, five years had passed.
Over those five years, following a series of technology-first national policies formulated by Zhu Ying, the Grand Ming Empire began developing technology with frenzied intensity.
This included infrastructure construction, as well as the transition from the steam age to the Electric Age!
It had to be said that the several hundred Scientists Zhu Ying had brought back from the Biohazard World possessed extraordinary capabilities. Though they had no cultivation, could not lead armies into battle, and knew little about governing a nation—
They possessed exceptionally high intelligence and were proficient in the principles of machinery, electricity, and biology!
It was precisely through the Scientists' diligent work that the Grand Ming Empire needed only five years to swiftly advance from the steam age into the Electric Age.
This was a transformation that transcended an era.
Over those five years, the Grand Ming Empire had been completely remade!
Whether in the regions directly controlled by the Grand Ming Empire or in its vassal states, earthshaking changes had taken place.
This was especially true within the imperial capital.
It could be said that the imperial capital had now become a fully modernized city.
Looking out across it—
The entire imperial capital no longer contained low, squat houses. In their place stood towering skyscrapers!!
Reinforced concrete had also become standard for the Grand Ming Empire's infrastructure projects.
Among them—
In the core area of the imperial capital, a five-hundred-meter-tall building had been constructed.
Zhu Ying had named this building the Imperial Capital Building!
Within the Imperial Capital Building lived the foremost Scientists, with William fully in charge.
The Imperial Capital Building contained ten major departments in total!
They included departments of modern medicine, agriculture, chemical engineering, metallurgy, machinery, electrical engineering, civil engineering, and more!
