The attention of everyone present had focused on him in an instant.
"Cough... What can you solve? Are you going to replace those foreign tribes and mine for us?" Probably judging by Chaoyang's plain dress, the merchant's tone towards him was clearly not as polite as towards others.
A burst of laughter rose from the crowd.
"If we can create wonders like steam locomotives, why do we always think about using manpower for mining?" Chaoyang boldly looked at the people, "The power of machines is always stronger than humans, and their efficiency is astonishingly high, capable of working day and night without stopping. Once such wonders become widespread in the mines, the amount of minerals we obtain will also increase exponentially, so everyone need not worry about missing out on the conveniences that wonders bring—not even if we don't consider capturing wild Seaguardians as a source of forced labor, the situation can only get better, not worse!"
